Chapter 229: Killing (2)
It's already getting dark.
The sergeants under Wang Xu's command are making a noise, there are complaining voices everywhere, these days, Wang Xu has long been accustomed to this kind of voice, in fact, he is also quite depressed, originally thought that there would be some gains in Shenzhou, who knows that nothing has been caught, and now he wants to lead the army into Tangzhou, Wang Xu is also very worried, even if the looting in Tangzhou is successful, but on the way back, will Huang Chao let him go.
It's a pity that the army has already set off and entered Shenzhou, so it is impossible to go back, so it can only advance hard.
Fortunately, the grain and grass carried were still sufficient, so that the sergeants would not go hungry, so that the army could be stabilized.
The speed of the march is really not fast, the army is seriously short of war horses, this is a matter that cannot be solved for the time being, if you want to get war horses, unless they are captured in the process of fighting, Wang Xu can only appoint, not to mention that there are really more war horses, and the consumption of grain and grass will be greater, after all, the appetite of war horses is greater than that of people.
It has long been a habit for the army to march and set out after dawn and camp after dark.
When he was in Gwangju City, Wang Xu's life was also very enjoyable, there were several beautiful girls around him, but unfortunately after leaving Gwangju City, he never thought about having a woman with him anymore, and he couldn't take a woman with him when he marched to war, Wang Xu knew this very well, so he had to endure the same hardships as the sergeants under his command.
The scouts were sent out to investigate the surrounding situation, and they did this every day, but more than ten days have passed, and nothing has happened at all.
Wang Xu walked back and forth in the Chinese military tent, these days, his mood is a little anxious, seeing that the grain and grass are getting less and less, the army must go to Tangzhou as soon as possible, loot the grain to be able to maintain the army, but the speed of the march is too slow. According to this trend, it will not take long for the army to enter Tangzhou, and I am afraid that it will really have to raise food.
The first time he led so many sergeants out to fight, there was still a sense of freshness, and it was precisely by relying on this sense of mailbox that Wang Xu was able to support it, otherwise many small things would have exhausted him.
The quality of the sergeants under his command is really very poor, and after entering the villages and towns, they are like hungry wolves, and they will pounce on the old and weak women and children when they see them. The ravaged people's life is worse than death, and seeing the hateful eyes of the people, Wang Xu's heart is a little drumming.
Up to now, Wang Xu has no specific operational deployment, looking forward to the army being able to leave Shenzhou as soon as possible and enter Tangzhou, believing that after entering Tangzhou, everything will change.
The three thousand iron-blooded soldiers led by Zhu Wen waited quietly.
Three thousand war horses. Three thousand soldiers, without the slightest sound, this is the result of hard training.
After the Battle of Xiangyang, Zhu Wen was completely integrated into the iron-blooded army. He couldn't believe the fighting power of the Predator, and he was glad that he didn't fight the Predator face to face at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't know what the outcome would be.
The time of the battle was arranged at the time of the hour, and the distance of the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army was five miles.
Five miles is a blink of an eye. The army under Wang Xu's command had no time to make any preparations.
At this time, the scouts had been dispatched, and the main task was to kill the scouts sent by Wang Xu.
Li Rupei only allocated 3,000 soldiers, and Zhu Wen had no opinion at all. He even felt that he didn't need 3,000 soldiers to deal with Wang Xu, 2,000 people were enough, and Zhu Wen had also seen the information sent by the scouts every day, and it was really not flattering to the quality of the sergeants under Wang Xu's command, and it was a waste to deal with such an army.
Two hundred special forces followed Zhu Wen's side, and once the army began to rush and kill, the special forces would outflank Wang Xu as quickly as possible, so that Wang Xu could not escape.
Of course, at this time, Zhu Wen also needs to care about Li Rupei's actions, the seven thousand iron-blooded soldiers led by Li Rupei have long been hidden, and their hidden place is about ten miles away from here, and once there is any trouble, they can also arrive in the fastest time.
Li Rupei's analysis, Zhu Wen was convinced, but he felt that Huang Chao would not send a large army to sneak attack from behind, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Iron Blood Army was too strong, Huang Chao was personally taught, and when facing the Iron Blood Army, the best way was to smear the soles of his shoes with oil, how could he take the initiative to face the battle.
The time has finally arrived.
The scouts sent by Wang Xu had already been killed, and Wang Xu's camp five miles away was very quiet, there was no movement, and the scouts who came back to report even said that snoring could be heard far away.
Zhu Wen pulled out the Tang knife.
The shiny blade was raised into the air.
When the blade cuts down, the attack begins.
Zhu Wen bore the brunt of the charge, charging at the front, three thousand soldiers lined up neatly, formed ten squares, and charged in the direction of Wang Xu's camp, the most special thing in this is the special forces team, charging at the front, everyone was wearing black clothes, and only two eyes could be seen wrapped up and down the body.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves shook the earth.
Wang Xu had already fallen asleep, probably because of restlessness, he slept unsteadily, when the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came, he quickly woke up, there was still not much movement around the camp, Wang Xu thought he was dreaming, pinched his thigh fiercely, and a sharp pain instantly came to his mind.
After shouting loudly, Wang Xu was a little stupid, he didn't know what the situation was outside, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
When the soldiers rushed in, one or two of the soldiers who were slightly familiar with the battle shouted.
"General, someone attacked ......"
Wang Xu, who was in a panic, looked at the pro-soldier who opened his mouth, and was speechless for a while, he didn't know how to issue the order, according to the instructions he received from the storyteller, at this time he should rush out of the camp and lead the sergeant to meet the battle.
It's a pity that his legs are trembling slightly, not to mention rushing out of the camp, even if he rushes out of the tent, it will be difficult.
When the fire appeared in the camp, the screams followed, and the camp boiled in a short time.
The Predator shoots rockets, and wherever they hit, they immediately cause a burst of fire, and if they hit the tent, they will cause a fire in an instant.
Some of the sergeants were shot, rolling on the ground and screaming, and many more were desperately trying to put out the fire, and if they didn't put out the fire in the camp, they would be burned alive.
Several officers entered Wang Xu's tent out of breath.
At this time, Wang Xu finally sobered up.
"What's the panic, if there is an enemy sneak attack, you all go and organize the sergeants to resist, whoever can kill the enemy, kill one person and reward ten taels of silver, a certain word counts, it must be cashed."
Many of the officers dispersed and left the tents.
One of the soldiers spoke.
"General, the enemy is coming very fiercely, please stay away for the time being, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, as long as the general is well, he can organize the sergeants to counterattack."
This kind of high-sounding words is actually asking Wang Xu to run quickly and not stay in the camp.
Wang Xu understood, but unfortunately he didn't listen to the words of the soldiers, from the point of view of righteousness, Wang Xu is still good, and he is deeply influenced by the storyteller, at this time, he will not leave the camp, at least he has to rent a sergeant to fight, in case he can't resist, it's not too late to run at that time.
The naïve Wang Xu, who couldn't run away in the first place, stuck to the camp at this time, which could only give the iron-blooded army a better chance to kill him.
Zhu Wen rushed into the camp in an instant, and the special forces soldiers also rushed into the camp, but they would not participate in the fight, their task was to kill Wang Xu.
It is also easy to find Wang Xu, and in the largest tent in the middle of the camp, it must be Wang Xu.
The battle of chopping melons and vegetables began, on one side were well-trained and brave soldiers of the Iron Army, and on the other hand, there were rabble people who had never participated in the battle, and the process of fighting could be imagined, almost at the moment when the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army rushed into the camp, the soldiers under Wang Xu's command were close to collapse.
But at this most critical moment, the officers who show off their might and are the most resentful on weekdays can't see a trace, after these people come out of Wang Xu's tent, they choose to flee almost at the same time, they are stunned by Wang Xu's actions, how much silver Wang Xu has, they all know, at this time, Wang Xu did not rush out to fight in person, but promised anything silver, if Wang Xu can get so much silver, why bother to take the big guy out to rob.
The special forces encountered almost no resistance, and occasionally saw a few sergeants wielding steel knives, also raising their hands to slash through the blades, or waiting with bows and arrows, and there was no need to stop at all.
However, in about sixty breaths, the special forces found Wang Xu's tent.
There were still some sergeants waiting outside the tent, which made the special forces soldiers smile on their faces, if Wang Xu had already withdrawn, there should not be a sergeant waiting outside the tent.
A dense rain of arrows went towards the sergeants outside the tent, and in a short time, these sergeants fell with screams, and there was no time or opportunity to resist.
When more than a dozen special forces soldiers rushed into the tent, they saw several personal soldiers guarding a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears.
One of the special forces spoke contemptuously.
"You are Wang Xu."
Wang Xu, whose face was pale and his body trembled, looked at the special forces dressed in black and stammered.
"So-and-so, so-and-so is Wang Xu, who are you, why did you attack so-and-so's army, what requirements do you have, just say it, as long as so-and-so can meet the ......"
"Hehe, the request is very simple, I want your neck to ...... head"
A dull scream came from inside the tent, and the special forces soldiers outside did not enter, and from the sound they could know that the brothers inside had succeeded, and the tent was not very big, and it was impossible for everyone to rush in.
A special forces soldier burst out of the tent with a bloody human head in his hand.
The rest of the soldiers gathered around, and everyone had smiles in their eyes. (To be continued......)
