Chapter 116: The Strategy of Ugliness

For a while, seven thousand people poured out of the woods, and the sound of shouting and killing rushed straight into the sky, which made the elite army of three or four thousand thieves startled. I didn't expect that there were so many Wen Chou's army, didn't the intelligence say that it was three or four thousand people? But they weren't too flustered, because they knew that their reinforcements would come soon.

On the contrary, there is a growing momentum. At this time, the battle between the two armies and 10,000 people formed a stalemate. Although the Wenchou coalition army is more numerous, most of them are not as elite as the thief army! It doesn't give full play to the numerical advantage.

Guo Daxian's cautiousness gave his army a great advantage. He did not underestimate the danger of any point, and progressed step by step, so that the effect also appeared. As soon as the two armies on this side handed over, Guo Daxian's headquarters got the information and quickly rushed up.

The two armies in front were barely holding each other, and now Guo Daxian led more than 20,000 people from his headquarters to surround them, if the Wen Chou army could not retreat before this, they would naturally suffer a big loss.

I saw a dense crowd of thieves pouring out of the woods, I don't know how many there were, but they all held swords in their hands, and they killed fiercely towards the place where the Wen Chou army and the elite thieves were fighting. Of course, these Wen Ugly can't be seen, but they are just scouts who were assigned to ambush in the forest and report back!

When Wen Scandal heard this, he naturally knew that the ambush plan had been broken, and if he stayed any longer, not only would he not have any good results, but he would even be besieged by Guo Daxian's army, so he resolutely ordered a retreat at the moment!

For a while, the sound of Jin Ming resounded in the dense forest, and after hearing the sound, the Wenchou coalition forces forced back the fighting thieves and wanted to get out and leave.

Naturally, the elite of the thieves would not let the Wenchou coalition army leave so easily, and the more and more fierce attacks were like surging waves. Seeing this, Wen Chou immediately sent the generals to lead the elite division, responsible for rescuing the villagers who were fighting with the elite of the thieves, and was responsible for breaking the rear.

Wen Chou Qian'er Elite, in the battle with the elite of thieves, already has an advantage, and has been pressing them to fight, so naturally there is no need to worry about getting out. I saw that as soon as they got out, they immediately rescued the township warriors and county soldiers who were at a disadvantage.

It's a long story, but its time is short, but in a quarter of an hour or two, the township Yongxian soldiers retreated in turn. And Wen Chou's elite soldiers, seeing this, also broke away from the battle and gradually retreated under the leadership of a fierce general. Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Zhao Yun and dozens of elite soldiers were responsible for the break.

Thousands of thieves are chasing after them, and Wen Chou, Yan Liang, and Zhao Yun are all "ten thousand enemies"! Although it may not be able to resist the attack of 10,000 people, it is very feasible to resist for a while in front of these thousands of thieves.

The three of them danced with knives and guns, and drank again and again, and all the thieves who were close to them were killed in one stroke, and there was no sense of procrastination. What's more, there are dozens of well-equipped Taolin elites on the side! Suddenly, some thieves stopped out of fear! That's a war, it's like a moth to a fire, the rhythm of death! Although the thieves are brave, it does not mean that they do not spare their lives! They are not willing to go to such a mortal situation.

It didn't take long, Wen Chou and the three of them knew that they couldn't stay long, and seeing that the other soldiers were retreating farther, the thieves couldn't catch up for a while, so when the thieves wanted to surround them, they slammed and broke out. At this time, Guo Daxian's headquarters only showed his figure.

From Wen Chou's ambush being swept out by Guo Daxian's elite troops, to Wen Chou's order to ambush all his troops and fight with the thieves' elites, to the two armies holding each other and Wen Chou's army completely retreating, it was only four or five quarters of an hour. In the dense forest, it is not easy to march, especially Guo Daxian's headquarters still carries a lot of baggage, and it is even more slow.

In this way, the Wenchou coalition forces were able to escape. If the dumplings are made by Guo Daxian's army, then the future result will be clear, and the nearby counties and townships will all fall! Fortunately, the Wenchou coalition was able to get out, although there were a lot of casualties, but it did not hurt the vitality.

Wen Chou's army was defeated and returned, and morale was low. The ambush plan was not fully successful, which was a big blow to the Wen Chou army. Although he has not yet fought with Guo Daxian's headquarters, with the contact of those thousands of elite thieves, it is difficult to win head-on! Even if you use some tricks, it won't have any big effect, because Guo Daxian is extremely cautious. This made it difficult for Wen Choujun.

Coming to the camp outside Gaoyi County, a little statistics show that nearly 700 people were injured in this battle, most of them were township warriors with low combat strength and little combat experience, and the casualties of Wenchou's elite soldiers were only a dozen or so, and the casualties of the county soldiers in the two counties were only 100 people.

There was not much damage, because the battle was not long, but in this case, there was no result to speak of. The elite of the thieves suffered at most four or five hundred casualties, and this was the result of the battle when Wen Chou, Yan Liang, and Zhao Yun killed many thieves with great might when they were in the late period.

Wen Chou made people fortify the camp in case the thieves attacked. According to Wen Chou's assumption and plan, if the thieves attack Gaoyi County after they arrive, they will send troops to disturb and rescue them; If the thieves choose to attack the camp where the Wenchou coalition army is located, Gaoyi County will send troops to rescue them.

In this way, between the camp and the county seat, an offensive and defensive alliance was reached, dragging down the army of thieves! After all, there are a lot of thieves on this trip, but the food and grass they carry will definitely not be enough to sustain their long-term war! After a month or two, it will definitely run out of food. This is the basic strategy that Wen Chou thought of to resist Guo Daxian's army. One word "drag"

However, the implementation of this policy may be greatly reduced, although the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Gaoyi agreed to Wen Chou's policy, but depending on the situation of the thousands of obstacles when he treated Wen Chou and asked thousands of soldiers to assist, whether they would send troops to rescue Wen Chou's army is still two words!

Even so, Wen Chou had to take the risk of making a second move, but his own strength was limited, and he had to use the external force of Gaoyi County to barely block Guo Daxian, or even repel it! I believe that as long as the Wenchou army is strong enough, so that Gaoyi County can find the flaws of Guo Daxian's army, he will not give up the opportunity to repel or even kill the thieves.

It was a big gamble.

Wen Chou's side is actively arranging defense, and Guo Daxian will not be idle. When they arrived at the place where they were fighting in the dense forest, only the thousands of thieves and elites were cleaning the battlefield, and the Wenchou coalition army had already gone away.

After a little inquiry about the battle, I knew that Wen Chou's army was not as brave as the rumors said, but its elite more than 1,000 people were outstanding, as for the other soldiers, they were just the village warriors who Wen Chou temporarily gathered, and they only played some auxiliary roles, and most of them were not as good as their ordinary soldiers!

With this understanding, his confidence in his own troops has been further enhanced. At that moment, he ordered to continue the march and reach the county seat of Gaoyi as soon as possible. The reason why he chose to march so quickly is also because the dense forest is not a place to stay for a long time.

After an hour or two, the army finally came out of the dense forest and came to an open place, and seeing that it was getting late, and that it was only thirty or forty miles away from Gaoyi County, and that it was not here overnight, he ordered the army to be stationed there, so that he could recharge his strength and prepare for the battle of tomorrow.

It was dark and the mountains were silent. But a few camps beyond the mountains were brightly lit as daylight. Whether it is Guo Daxian's large camp that stretches for several miles, or the small camp that has been reinforced by the Wenchou coalition army for several days, they are all cautiously guarding against all the wind and grass and preventing all accidents from happening.

However, it was a night without incident, and they passed peacefully. But their hearts were even more gloomy, for they all knew that this was only the silence of the eve of the storm, and that the battle that followed would be unusually fierce.

On February 26, the fifth year of Zhongping, the weather was gloomy, and the dark clouds of black pressure pressed over people's heads, which made the oppressive atmosphere quickly diffuse.

Under the dark clouds, a county town, a camp and an army of 30,000 armed men stood quietly.

Guo Daxian's army had only been traveling for half a day before they saw the not very majestic Gaoyi county town, and the even lower and simpler camp not far from it. For a while, the soldiers stopped and stood still, intending to observe carefully for a while, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, and not being defeated in a hundred battles.

The dark clouds in the sky were thicker and thicker, as if they were about to fall and fall on the earth in the next moment. The county seat, the camp, and the legion, none of the three parties made any moves, just waiting for the next moment of the storm.

Not long after, before Guo Daxian and the 30,000 thieves, he soothed his brows, which had been frowning slightly, waved his hand, and ordered the whole army to attack the camp where the Wenchou coalition army was located! He is going to kill the army of Wen Chou first, and he has avenged the previous "revenge with one arrow"!

An army of nearly 30,000 thieves marched in turn, heading towards the humble camp under the dense clouds. After a short time, they divided into several legions quite regularly and attacked the camp. There is no pre-heating, as soon as it comes up, there are swords and guns, swords and halberds are everywhere, and a siege tool such as ladders and rushing cars is used on the relatively low camp, which is more than enough! The power is also much greater.

The establishment of four or five regiments shows that Guo Daxian has not relaxed his guard in the direction of Gaoyi County. When attacking the camp, there was always a legion of about four or five thousand men standing still. It made everyone in Gaoyi County, who was about to move, extremely helpless.

The sudden attack of 20,000 or 30,000 people, without sufficient defense manpower, Wen Chou's army could not support it for a few days, but Wen Chou also tried to hold on as much as possible, so as to give the people of Gaoyi County a chance to defeat the thief army.

There were more than 6,000 people in the Wenchou coalition army, and all of them went into battle to resist wave after wave of attacks from the 20,000 or 30,000 army of thieves. The thieves did not attack in a swarm, also because of the limited siege tools and the limited battle grounds, but in this way, they would not give the Wenchou coalition army any time to rest.
