Chapter Ninety-Nine: Wen Chou's Reaction
Although Wen Ba is usually very arrogant, he still has a lot of brains, and after thinking about it, he knows the thief's plan, even so, Wen Ba has not found a solution. He didn't want to really kill all his soldiers for the safety of Jihe Township! Besides, even if you can really eliminate all the thieves at the moment, you may not be able to stop the Black Mountain thieves from plundering Jihe Township! After all, they were only a bunch of elite soldiers, no more than a hundred.
After figuring out this, Wen Ba didn't have the heart to work hard, just sent a few people out of the encirclement, and went to the headquarters to report the news. As for what happens to Jihe Township in the end, it depends on how it responds.
If the response is good, it will be a great achievement to break and strangle the invaders in the future; If the response is poor, it will not make some of the rich families in the township bankrupt, if some people do not know the height of the sky, and insist on resisting, it may be the end of people and money.
However, now it seems that the second option is the most likely.
The literary tyrant did not come out, and he had a rank to protect himself, and the pavilions were trembling and panicking, for fear that these thieves would rob them next. And the pavilion that was first plundered by thieves is already dilapidated! If there is a slight resistance, immediately kill it in a group!
Many villagers who were reluctant to follow Kou rushed towards the village pavilion. These thieves did not chase and kill, but just collected the food from the villagers' homes as soon as possible and loaded them on the carts.
In less than an hour, these thieves broke through the three pavilions and twelve miles under the leadership of their commander Liu Min! And the grain was loaded on the cart. Just as he was about to loot the next pavilion, a thief Kou Fei rode up and whispered a few words in his ear. Liu Min's color changed, and he immediately ordered all the thieves to transport grain and return with them.
Just because of the report of Tanma, Liu Qingyi was about to feel that Wenba was trapped. Although the number of people is not large, but only a hundred, he does not dare to be careless. Only 100 people will involve his 300 elites, and if there are 100 more people, he will have to divide hundreds of troops to refuse. He didn't dare to guarantee that this Jihe Township Youzhi would not fight back against him when he divided his troops again! If so, wouldn't it be miserable?
In this way, he can only choose to be the first to retreat. Of course, there are also reasons why they see that the looted food is enough to be used. Besides, there is another group of people who went to Daying Township! It's more than enough to come and survive this cold winter.
Here, Liu Min made the thieves coerce one or two thousand villagers, and transported grain and cattle to retreat. On the other side, Liu Qing led his 100 people to finally come to the place where Wenba was surrounded not far after an hour of hurrying, stopped, rested for a while, and relieved himself to rescue Wenba.
But for half an hour, before Liu Qing could lead people to attack the three or four hundred thieves! In the direction of Jihe Township, another group of people came, as many as four or five hundred people. It was Liu Min who came out of his hands to lead the thieves to come to support!
Liu Qing saw from a distance that the smoke and dust were billowing over there, which was the image of the march of the army, and he couldn't take a break at the moment. With a loud shout, he pulled out the first knife of the Hundred Refining Ring on his waist! Kill that thief! Liu Qing didn't want to be like Wen Ba and be besieged by thieves.
Wenba also found a change in the situation in Liluo, and after a little analysis, although he didn't know whether the incoming army was friend or foe, he had to break through. If it's a friendly army, it's better to say that it's just the opportunity to break through; If it is the aid of the thief army, if you don't break through, you may be exterminated! He didn't believe that when the thieves had reinforcements coming, and the troops were far superior to him, they were just carrying out the siege strategy!
The two armies attacked together, but it just happened to make the first three or four hundred thieves rush for a while. Wen Ba led people to rush to the side of the thief, the two armies fought in close quarters, and when they saw that Liu Qing led the people to kill, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted: "Thank you Liu Tun for your rescue!" This made the other soldiers behind him more courageous. Seeing this, Liu Qing said proudly: "It's not too late to thank you for rescuing you!" Ha ha. ”
Such a two-sided attack soon caused the thieves to be in disarray, and soon they were defeated, and these elites escorted the archers in the direction of their reinforcements, fighting and retreating.
Seeing this, Wen Ba and Liu Qing glanced at each other, and immediately attacked a few blows side by side, so that the other soldiers were the first to break away from the battle, and the two of them were responsible for breaking the rear. And when the thieves saw that Wen Ba and Liu Qing wanted to withdraw from the army, they bullied them one after another, wanting to entangle them.
Wenba and Liu Qing are so easy to deal with! Just a few joint swords made the first thief kill with a knife! Their ring-headed knives are all steel-for-steel knives, and their sharpness is not comparable to the ordinary knives used by thieves? Even if these are the elite of thieves, they can't afford to equip the Hundred Refining Ring First Sword! Not to mention them, even if there are 1,500 people in the current Taolin Army, there will be no more than 30 of the hundreds of serial swords that can be used!
The thieves were frightened and did not dare to force them. Because of Wenba and Liu Qing, he was able to lead people to escape with cold arrows from time to time. By the time the thieves' reinforcements arrived, Wen Ba and Liu Qing had already fled a mile away. Seeing this, Liu Min's face was as gloomy as water! Wen Ba was right, he did come with the intention of annihilating their two hundred people, so that he would no longer be harassed by the Taolin Army when he retreated and returned to the valley.
But now, Wen Ba and Liu Qing have already escaped, and if they heard that most of them have arrow wounds, they will not trouble them again, so they did not order to chase them. After all, the most important thing is to escort the food and villagers back to the mountain. Otherwise, I'm afraid that there will be pursuers in Gaoyi County.
Thinking of this, Liu Min couldn't help but be annoyed, it turned out that when he followed Li Dashuai, wasn't this Gaoyi County obediently cowering in the city and not daring to move? It's good now, this Gaoyi County has been paying less and less attention to them recently. It's really 'the situation is stronger than the people'!
Not to mention how Liu Min led the thieves to retreat and return to the mountain. After Wenba and Liu Qing led the sergeants to escape, they dealt with their injuries a little and took people back to Jihe Township by a detour.
At this point, the Black Mountain thieves have been retired for an hour. But the original ten pavilions in Jihe Township have become seven pavilions, and the original three pavilions have been dilapidated, but there are still not many villagers who can escape! As a result, the head of Jihe Township immediately dropped to less than 10,000 people.
Jihe Township has an order, and is gathering the township to be strong and strong, and strictly defending, for fear that the thief will kill him again. At this time, Wen Ba and Liu Qing led the remnants of the army to arrive.
I saw that there were only 170 people left in the original complete establishment of the two tuns, and all of them were injured, and more than 20 people were seriously injured and could only be helped to walk. This battle caused the Taolin Army to lose half a hundred combat strength, and this is still the case when those thieves didn't have the heart to fight at the beginning! Of course, the thieves did not fall to the good, and nearly 100 people died!
As a result, Jihe Township, who originally wanted to ask the teacher for guilt, also rose silently. Obviously, when the township encountered thieves, the Taolin Army was not idle, and experienced a big battle. At that moment, he instructed the villagers to find medical workers to treat the wounds of the wounded.
Afterwards, after some detailed discussions, the three of them agreed that this was not the time to pursue. There is also Wen Chou's wanton military behavior in Taolinsai, knowing that he will not let go of this opportunity to enter the thieves, and let it become bigger. Immediately settled down, reorganized the township, and waited for the further action of Taolinsai, the seriously injured and inconvenient to move in the army were recuperated in the township, and the lightly injured were led by Liu Qing to be stationed here, assisted by the rank of defense, preparation for war, and Wenba took a part of the people to transport the fallen soldiers back to Shahe Township!
Of course, there are casualties not only in Wenba and Liu Qingliangtun, but also in Sujiayitun stationed in Daying Township! Eleven were killed, sixteen were seriously wounded, and the others were lightly wounded, and Sujaqi's left hand was severed from the wrist. This is also the result of Daying Township's always attaching importance to arming and having the previous routine and strong defense.
However, there was not much damage in the township, only four or five miles were breached! The sturdy men in the other pavilions in the township quickly gathered, and when the thieves saw that nothing could be done, they gave up the idea of plundering again, but quickly cleaned up, and withdrew their troops back to the mountains.
The sturdy people of Daying Township wanted to chase after them, but the thieves slipped fast enough, so they could only look at the few that were overturned and sighed. So far, in the first battle, the township has lost fifty or sixty people, which is not serious. Su Jia also sent people to transport the bodies of the fallen soldiers back to Shahe Township, while he and the seriously injured were recuperated in the township, waiting for Wen Chou's reply.
In the afternoon.
Wen Chou stayed in the Taolinsai Chamber, his face gloomy. Jiang Hui, Chen Ning, Tie Qian, and others in the hall didn't dare to make a sound, but just quietly watched what decision Wen Chou wanted to make!
It turned out that Wen Chou was actively preparing for a few days of entering the mountain to surrender the Kou in Taolinsai. As soon as the food, knives, arrows, siege equipment, etc. have been prepared, and the next batch of armor in the village has been built, the army can be raised. I don't want it to come at this time, the thieves have already gone out of the mountains to loot Jihe Township. This surprise surprised everyone.
Their surprise did not last long, and another report from Daying Township had arrived. At this time, everyone paid attention to this matter and analyzed and discussed.
It was concluded that the thieves must have no food and grass to continue, so they made this bold strategy. At the risk of angering the peach forest, he committed a crime against the wind. Of course, they may also be confident that they will be able to defend their base camps, just as the county towns can withstand their momentary attacks by relying on the might of their walls.
During the discussion, it was only half an hour before news came from Daying Township, but more than 20 people were killed and seriously injured! Suja himself was seriously injured and could not come! Wen Chou couldn't help but be angry. I asked again and again, and I did a few things to prepare! And we will begin to discuss specific measures to confiscate the criminals! It's no longer just a slogan.
In less than half an hour, a battle report also came from Jihe Township, and it was learned that the losses were even worse. Because of this, there was a scene where Fang Caiwen's ugly face was as gloomy as water, and everyone was silent by default.
"Fight! No war is not enough for the people to be angry; Kill! Not killing is not enough to show military might! Wen Chou said gloomily.
Looking at the people in the hall, he said, "I'll wait three days for you to prepare everything!" After three days, the soldiers attacked the thief camp! ”
"No!" Everyone knows that Wen Chou's mind has been decided! Answer the word now.
