Chapter Ninety-Six: Missteps

Wang Jiayin made up his mind in his heart, and discussed with Wang Er and Wang Ziyong, he was the strongest and had the highest prestige, and the two of them obeyed his words. In the end, the three of them unanimously decided to concentrate their forces, first make every effort to break through the three forks guarded by the Ansai battalion in front of them, and then take the county seat of Ansai in one go. In this way, Ansai's money and grain can be seized, and the strategic initiative will be transferred to his side, and then he can attack and retreat, even if he talks to Yang He again, the conditions are much more favorable than now.

Wang Jiayin, as the supreme leader of the thieves, never forgets to appease and appease him, keeps in touch with the government envoys from time to time, and talks while fighting, which is very happy. Wang Er and others all think that this situation is normal, the reason is very clear, everyone rebelled not to enter Beijing City to be the emperor, isn't it all to win wealth? Everyone first raised troops just to ask for a bowl of full rice, and then the plate was bigger, and the goal was raised to grab money, food, and girls, tossing for a long time, all the big and small leaders have accumulated a lot of net worth, and the main leaders are even more wealthy, not to mention that many people are wives and concubines. Once you hang up, won't all the money and women become someone else's? It is still a serious matter to find a way to get a better condition for recruitment, and it is a serious thing to return to his hometown to be a rich man with the fruits of victory, and Wang Jiayin and others have already fought for their parents in the conditions proposed to the official envoy.

The leaders are all thinking like this, and the low-level thieves below are even less determined to fight, they are just ignorant and go with the flow. In fact, in these years, the common people's cultural Cheng is low, and they are quite in awe of the government, and even a brave man like Wang Er did not consider rebellion at the beginning, but first chose to flee the famine. When he fled to the mountains later, he was quite peaceful, but he was self-sufficient and paid less than a harsh tax and miscellaneous taxes, but the government continued to urge him and did not even give him the last way to live. Facts have proved that despite years of fighting, many conflicts with officials and soldiers, and even breaking the county seat, most of the rogues still rightly believe that they are the subjects of the imperial court, and their hatred is mainly focused on those officials and gentry who directly oppress and bully them. For example, if you ask the homeless Zhang Erdan who he hates the most, he will definitely grit his teeth and mention the fierce gods, whipped him bloody, and expropriated his last bit of rations, or Sun Shanren who forced him to use his wife ** to pay off his debts, and everyone scolded together for not only not exempting money and food but also levying additional dog officials Wang County Decree in the year of the catastrophe, but he would never mention the emperor sitting on the dragon chair in Beijing, and he would not mention the old ministers who decided to send Tian Fu in the world with a stroke of a pen. Even those who were directly responsible for forcing the Wang County Commanders to strictly pursue the comparison, those Daotai prefects would not mention it, because they were too far away from him, far beyond his limited knowledge.

The struggles of the displaced people have very realistic goals, first of all, because of hunger and cold, they have to thwart the government's urging by force, and seize the capital of life from the granaries of rich families, and secondly, of course, they are robbing money and women, for a large number of desperate poor refugees who cannot afford to marry under normal circumstances, it is their lofty dream to grab a woman to pass incense, what class struggle, revolutionary ideas, the peasants can't think so much, what is it, can it be eaten as food? This is also doomed to most of the thieves are hungry people who eat big households, lack basic military literacy and combat experience, and when they encounter advantage, they will fight bravely to be the first, and when they are frustrated, they will scatter in a hurry, and it is basically a temporary armed robbery group, if it is not for the fact that the number of people is too large, and the officials and soldiers have cut off food and pay and abandoned their martial arts, I am afraid that they will not be repeatedly ineffective, and they will erode several governments, so as to cause such an uncontrollable situation today.

Wang Ziyong was the commander of the former army, although the main department had fewer descendants and was not as strong as the "two kings", but the thieves had always had the tradition of using new members to take the lead, and most of the newly coerced homeless people were incorporated into the front army, so the number of Wang Ziyong's nominal subordinates was more than 20,000, but it was far more than the other departments. Wang Ziyong is also a figure who has the courage to make decisions, and since the plan with the "two kings" has been decided, he immediately rode his horse and turned around, and there was no hesitation. After returning to the front army, he ordered the whole brigade to press, wanting to crush the Ansai battalion in one fell swoop with numerical superiority.

Before the war, Wu Wei had high hopes for the thistle terrestris was proved to be not as effective as imagined, the homeless people dealt with this thing that is called a mastery, the first group of homeless people have a huge broom, three times five divided by two will be all over the ground of the thistle terrestris to both sides of the road, clear a wide road, a large number of homeless people followed, each carrying a sack in the left hand, holding a small wooden shovel in the right hand, the iron thistle terrestris swept to both sides of the road shovel up and poured into the sack, the action is skillful, the frequency is extremely fast, at a glance it is used to doing. Wu Wei laid down this time the iron thistle terrestris is enough to have as many as 10,000 pieces, all of them are made of high-quality pig iron, all weighing no less than one or two thousand catties, for the thieves this is a large number of strategic materials, at present the thief brigade is blocked by the officers and soldiers before and after, the materials are extremely difficult to replenish, this batch of pig iron is like charcoal in the snow for it, so the big and small leaders are all elated. Wu Wei inadvertently became a fortune boy, and he was even more depressed when he observed the excited expressions of the thieves through the binoculars.

The speed of the homeless people to remove the thistle terrestris is extremely fast, and they will reach the second line of defense while speaking, the anti-theft barbed wire is unheard of by the homeless, and naturally they don't know how to deal with it, and they want to climb, and they are all spikes, just like hedgehogs, and the homeless people have no protection, and their hands and feet are cut to blood, and for a while, the team of people and horses are blocked from advancing at the second line of defense. Wang Lung was stationed at the forefront of the Ansai battalion's defense line, and ordered the crossbowmen who had already been lying in ambush behind the low wall of the third line of defense to shoot fiercely at the blocked thief brigade. It turned out that Wu Wei deployed 300 crossbowmen behind the low wall of the third line of defense, and this time it was unexpected, and the thieves immediately suffered a big loss. Fortunately, the Ansai battalion used crossbows, mostly direct shooting, the team of thieves was extremely dense, and for a while, the thieves who were hit by arrows in the front row were resisted by the people behind and could not fall, and they became a natural shield, so only the first round of shooting caused huge casualties, and the subsequent shooting effect was not as good as the beginning.

Wang Lung couldn't help but hate in his heart when he saw it, the hedgehog gathered in front of the barbed wire at this time and couldn't move, it was a God-given opportunity, but he could only watch and couldn't expand the results, if all his 300 crossbowmen were replaced by archers, at this time, they would be thrown together, and they would definitely cause huge casualties to the thieves. Now your crossbow is all featherless arrows, and direct shooting is naturally extremely powerful and amazing, but the disadvantage is that it cannot be thrown. He didn't think that there were pros and cons to everything, although the archers were more flexible in battlefield applications, but they had to be trained for a long time, which was extremely difficult to obtain and difficult to form a scale, while the training of crossbowmen was much simpler, and a farmer who had never been in a battle battle could get started easily as long as he practiced for 2 or 3 days. The archer must draw the bowstring for aiming before shooting, which is the most physically exhausting, and the battle array can shoot up to 12 or 3 arrows to be tired, and it is impossible to talk about it when it comes to the back of the head, while the crossbowman has no such restriction, you can first pull the string and then calmly aim and shoot, plus Wu Wei purchased this batch of crossbows from modern times with a winding device, it is more labor-saving. In addition, modern crossbows come with their own magazines, not only can you use ordinary crossbow arrows, but also can shoot marbles, which is better than crossbow arrows at close range, but the cost is low, and the rate of fire is far better, and it can even be said that if the 300 crossbowmen of the Ansai battalion are used well, the lethality is better than the 1000 archers of the ordinary official army!

Although the casualties of the thief brigade were contained by the crooked beating, after all, they were so restricted that they could not move, and they could only stare dryly just after being beaten. And although Wang Ziyong has never seen such a thing as barbed wire, he is old in the battle formation, and his heart is like iron, so he did not hesitate at the moment, and ordered his elite soldiers to forcibly drive the thief brigade forward, no matter what it is, he must step on it! The strength of more than 20,000 people is so huge, like a tide rushing forward, the body of the thief who was killed by the crossbow arrow became a natural shield, and the thief behind was resisted and pushed forward, and the pile that fixed the anti-theft barbed wire was loosened in two strokes, and the thieves shouted, and the anti-theft barbed wire was pushed into the trench as a whole, and the people behind could not retract the momentum, and the people in front were immediately squeezed down regardless of whether they were dead or alive, and the scream shook the sky for a while, but the trench was almost filled in, and the thieves behind came like a tide. Stepping on the body of the thief who fell to the ground in front of him, he went to climb the low wall, which is the last line of defense of the Ansai camp!

Wu Wei originally expected that most of the thieves would not be able to pass the barbed wire, but he didn't expect the plan to catch up with the changes, first the thistle terrestris that was pinned on high hopes was happily picked up by the thieves, and then the barbed wire defense line did not even hold on to a stick of incense under the impact of the thieves regardless of casualties, and the most unsuccessful thing was that the barbed wire was deployed too close to the trench, and together with the corpses of the thieves, it became the best material for filling the trenches, and even the third line of defense was in danger in an instant! This change was sudden, and the 300 crossbowmen behind the low wall could not resist the brigade of thieves in front of them, so they had to immediately retreat quickly under Wang Lung's urgent order. Wu Wei hurriedly ordered Yang Chengzu and Luo Rucai, who were in the back position, to lead their troops to urgently line up behind the low wall, blocking the blade of the thief army. It's just that tens of thousands of thieves in front of him are rushing together, and the momentum is really extraordinary, the small low wall is like a sand sculpture washed by the tide, and it disappears in a few breaths, and the thieves continue to surge like a tide, and the sound of shouts shakes the sky! Wu Wei used a telescope to see this qiē in his eyes from a high place, and couldn't help but start to feel uneasy, and took care of his thoughts, the formation of Luo Rucai and the three of them seemed so thin before the tide of thieves, and there was no need to say much about the disparity between the enemy and me, can they really stop these tens of thousands of thieves? Yesterday was really uncomfortable, I owe you a change, please forgive me.
