Chapter 187 Entering the Mountains to Suppress Bandits

Xie Shence and others ran in front, and there were more than 30 people chasing behind them.

Ran to the foot of the mountain, but has not yet come out of the woods, as long as he and others are glued here, even if he can't kill everyone on his side, the Jin army comes up, and the enemy can run away.

The Jin army will not dispatch even a single soldier for the sake of its own twenty people, who are indisputable.

Because as long as you can't pose a threat to the already lined up, even if there are people on your side, you must be cautious about holding your position, which is common sense.

The Jin army that is besieging the city will not divide its troops.

Xie Shence also understands this. So Xie Shence asked Osan to pull up the signal flare.

Yes, flares. The signal flares have been on Ossan's body, wrapped in oiled paper, waterproof and moisture-proof, in addition to the one he pulled, there are two. This is just in case of a call for help.

Just in case...... A person like Xie Shence, who is afraid of death, will not make mistakes in these details.

This signal, Guo Fei should have been spread to the whole army.

Well, it turned out to be really risky. The general quickly drew out two hundred cavalry and responded to this side. The pursuers behind him saw the Jin cavalry coming, so they turned and fled.

On this day, September 14, Xinzhou City returned to the hands of the Jin army.

After Xie Shence and the others settled down, they immediately asked Mr. Yang to check and treat Qingcao Yaer's condition, and then woke up the child.

The child had been unconscious for a long time, and when he first saw Xie Shence, he cried.

It took Xie Shence nearly half an hour to figure out everything that happened in the small village.

Closing the door, Xie Shence said to Osan and the others who were guarding outside the room: "Someone slaughtered that village. If nothing else, he should be the only one who survived. ”

He Ruoque frowned, and Wushan and the others did not speak.

"Rest for one night, enter the mountain tomorrow, I will kill them all......"

"Count me in." He Ruoque was the first to respond.

Osan and Heijiawei also echoed at the same time.

At this time, the city had just returned to the hands of the Jin army, and it was still in chaos, although the streets were full of corpses, green smoke was rising everywhere, houses were collapsing, and the walls were in ruins...... But here it is indeed back in the hands of the Jin army.

The general who led the army to recover Xinzhou this time was a general under Guo Fei, named Xue Day, who was a new star in the northern army and was extremely warlike. In the previous Jinju War, the outer city wall changed hands several times, and he took the hoplites to ascend several times. Because of his repeated exploits, Guo Fei trusted him very much, and this counteroffensive also allowed him to lead the army to clear the Western Front and cover the flanks of the main army, which was intended to be promoted.

Young and belligerent, Xue Tian's advance was faster than Guo Fei's, and two days earlier than Yan Jun expected. Therefore, there was a situation where the south besieged the city and the north fled. Yan Jun was completely unprepared and was taken by surprise.

According to Xie Shence's instructions, Xue Tian asked the general to lead 500 cavalry to pursue the convoy not far from the city, while he maintained order in the city and pacified the people.

At this time, Xue Day, who was sweating profusely, walked in, saw Xie Shence clenched his fists and said, "Lord Admiral, what are your orders?" ”

For Xie Shence, Xue Tian is not very familiar, but during the Jinzhou War, Xie Shence broke the siege twice, once to save his life, and once to retreat from the enemy, and now he has burned the grain and grass supplies in Murong City, so that the Jinzhou army can counterattack - for him personally, for the Jinzhou army, and for the northern army, Xie Shence is a benefactor.

So even if he wasn't very familiar with it, he was very uninterested in Xie Shence before, but Xue Tian was still respectful at this time.

Xie Shence beckoned Xue Tian to sit down, and then said: "General Xue, this time, Xie wants to thank you, but this is a good time to regain the lost territory, and Xie is inconvenient to say." When he returns to Jindu, Xie will definitely ask for credit for the general. ”

Xue Tian smiled: "Lord Admiral, this is the matter of the last general, not to mention the fact that the Admiral has rescued us several times, it is enough for the Lord to personally go to the danger to burn Murong City's military rations and let him withdraw from the army." But the Admiral has an order, and the general will obey him. As for asking for merit, the last general originally belonged to the Northern Army, so he thanked the Admiral for his kindness. ”

Hearing this, Osan and the others were displeased.

The last sentence is clear, he Xue Tian is a member of the Northern Army, please merit and other things, he has the Northern Army to do it, although Xie Shence is the commander of the Tiqi Division, he also saved them, they know how to repay their kindness, but one yard is one yard, and they never want to get too close to the Tiqi Division.

Xie Shence didn't care about what Xue Tian said, and said: "That's the case, my horseman's adventure raid was very smooth in terms of the result, but on the way back, he was chased and killed by the Yan people, and many brothers were broken. Last night, Yan people slaughtered a village in pursuit of us...... Xie wanted to borrow 200 troops from the general in the name of the Ti Cavalry Division to avenge those who died. This matter has just been written by Xie Mou, and he has sent it back to Kyoto, the matter is very important, Xie Mou needs to give an explanation to his brothers, and he needs to give an explanation to his dead villagers. So General Xue, please agree. ”

Xue Tian didn't immediately agree after listening to Xie Shence's words, he frowned and thought carefully.

At this time, although it was the Jin army attacking the Yan army to defend, it was not impossible to divide the troops, but Xue Tian had his considerations.

There were more than 30 people when Tiqi set off, and Dao met with them at this time, saying that the direct point was that after being rescued by him, there were only 20 people, and more than one-third of the manpower was broken. Judging from the current situation, the enmity between the two sides is not small.

In fact, the two sides are at odds with each other..... It's not a day or two again.

In Hebei Province, where the Northern Army is entrenched, it is the place where the fierce battle with Yan Yuchizi is the most intense, and the two counties bordering Yan are the front line.

Cruel, cunning, and ruthless...... Anyway, all bad adjectives can be thrown at them.

Yan Ren slaughtered villages around Xinzhou, he believed in such a thing, the two women and a child brought back by Tiqi, he saw it, it should be a survivor, he would not think that Xie Shence said a lie, there was no need at all. Especially this kind of thing, as long as you send someone to take a look, you will know it, and thank Shence will not lie about it.

What Xue Tian was entangled with was not a mixture of resentment and fear. What he struggled with was his own actions.

He was originally from the Hexi County family, and with the strength of his family, he came to the position of the rising star of the Northern Army, so he naturally understands the intricacies of officialdom, and it is naturally nothing to lend troops to Xie Shence, and even let him personally lead the troops to help Xie Shence, there is no problem, but at this time, it is different!

The first is that the war happened so suddenly that almost everyone was caught off guard. Secondly, General Sima did not attach so much importance to this war, not to say that he despised it, but to ...... If it weren't for the people's anger, perhaps the confrontation in Cangzhou would have continued. In the end, it was the Tiqi itself, which seemed to be too enthusiastic about the war......

All kinds of circumstances made him feel like there was a big net, no, a big curtain, which blinded everyone and made it impossible for people to see it in the dark. Coupled with the letter from the family, he was extremely sensitive to things other than fighting, and he was afraid that he would take a wrong step and suffer disaster for himself and even the entire family.

It's not about playing, it's not about being too cautious, it's the nature of the children of the world that is passed down in the blood. So even if you are cautious, it's nothing, and it's not uncommon for you to take a wrong step and end up destroying your family and clan.

In principle, if Xie Shence said in person, if he agreed, even if Xie Shence could not succeed in the end, he would have won the friendship of Tiqi. Of course, Xue Tian knew how much benefit it would be to save favors in Dajin and Tiqi.

However, he was still a little hesitant.

However, in the end, Xue Tian still nodded. Then he happily selected two hundred people among the elite and handed them over to Xie Shence. These two hundred people are all from several counties near NSW, and some of them may know the people of the small village that was slaughtered. These people are familiar with the terrain, and because the slaughtered are all hometown people, they also have a greater desire for revenge.

Since it was decided, Xue Tian naturally didn't mind doing things more beautifully.

These two hundred key pawns, in the evening, were "educated" by Xie Shence, and then they were aroused with a burning desire for revenge.

This time to "go into the mountains to suppress bandits", Xie Shence was fully prepared, mobilized a large number of people and horses through the channel of the Ti Cavalry Division, and made meticulous arrangements.

He Ruoque was very surprised by Xie Shence's non-stop writing orders the next morning, and Xie Shence said after seeing He Ruoque's surprised expression: "It's all about thinking on the road." It's just that I sorted it out last night, deduced it a few times, and I didn't think there was any major mistake before I arranged it. ”

He Ruoque asked: "This kind of thing, even if there is time to make a unified arrangement, it is difficult to cover everything, now it is just a pursuit in the mountains, the situation is complicated, and it is changing rapidly, those arrangements you have made, can really come in handy?" Don't end up on paper when the time comes. ”

Xie Shence smiled slightly, and replied while writing: "What does it matter if paper is not paper?" Anyway, even if we can't kill them all this time, we won't suffer much loss. This time, except for Dingzhou City and some places near it, it will inevitably be recovered by the Great Jin. So in a short period of time, I can mobilize a large number of horsemen to provide support. Before, it was because the north shore was still in the hands of the Yan army, it was inconvenient for the cavalry to move, and once it was inconvenient to communicate in the sight of the Yan army, it was difficult to take the Taihang Mountain. And this time, I will set the main battlefield in Taihang Mountain! ”

He Ruoque thought about it and felt that he didn't understand very well, so he turned around and packed his things. He picked a good bow from the archers of the Jin army, brought two pots of arrows, and changed a set of software according to Xie Shence's request, and then cleaned up.

After resting for a night, recovering his energy, replenishing his equipment, and arranging all the precautions, near noon, Xie Shence, Wushan, He Ruoque, and several strong black armor guards officially set off with two hundred people.
