Chapter 466: Attack of the Departments (1)

Thank you for the tip of Tears Red Dust 5!!

After defeating the two white flags, Song Qing did not immediately continue to attack, but concentrated all his forces in the north, waiting for the enemy's next move, not that he didn't want to continue fighting, but Haoge's 20,000 elite soldiers and horses with yellow flags, and they were waiting for work, if there was no more than seventy percent certainty, he didn't plan to touch any mold in the past, and wasted the confidence and advantages that he had built up with great difficulty, after all, although he won the battle just now, his own losses also reached more than 3,000 people, and now there are only more than 29,000 soldiers and horses. The opponent Hauge has little advantage.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the strength in his hands, if these nearly 30,000 people are Xuzhou soldiers, he dares to go directly to pursue the two white flags without saying a word, and then beat the yellow flag with his hand, and even be able to continue to chase Haoge and run to the Datong battlefield to continue to participate in the battle.

In the final analysis, this is a matter of strength, if they are replaced by Xuzhou soldiers of the same level, then his ability to move is too great, including the rapid march from Xuanfu to Datong after the battle, these other troops can't do it, and most of the strength in his hands is still other troops, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is uneven, and it is okay to follow the Xuzhou soldiers in a smooth battle, once he encounters hard stubble, he is afraid that he will not last long, this is really not that Song Qing looks down on these friendly troops, it is really that history has verified, The Ming army was much worse than Houjin in field warfare.

But it is not a good thing to stand still here, at this time almost the entire Xuanda is fighting, his 30,000 soldiers and horses are not moving, not to mention how much food is consumed, and other places that need support are afraid that there will also be some opinions, which is extremely inconsistent with Song Qing's strategy of coming to brush up on prestige and popularity, he wants people to say good things about him, and how to say that this is also the number one soldier who can fight at present, and it has been tested. It's really a bit unreasonable to spend it like this, and he has to find something to do, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable regardless of Cao Bianjiao and the others.

In view of this, he decided to divide his troops and march, Haoge's location is not a strategic location, there is no need to capture it at all, since the other party wants to mix there, then let him stay there, Song Qing can take the soldiers and horses to attack those robbers at the junction of Xuanfu Datong first. They are all specially sent by the Houjin to loot the troops, each of which is about two or three hundred people, all of them are going to those local villages and towns, and it is also the biggest purpose of Huang Taiji's entry into the Kou this time, if he can kill all these people, at least he can drive them away, and Song Qing will be considered a meritorious service.

But this is a big deal, and it is necessary to convene a military conference and clarify the various divisions of labor. Nearly 30,000 people were dismantled and scattered to fight those robbers, it was not so easy, Song Qing had received a report from Tanma before, saying that the combat effectiveness of these people who went to rob was not weak. To put it bluntly, it is to break up the resistance of the two civilian armed forces and small groups of officers and soldiers in Xuanfu Datong, and then make the effect of robbery and abduction of the population higher. Therefore, it is definitely not an easy enemy to deal with, and you need to be careful.

With such a big strategy, Song Qing didn't greet the bigwigs on both sides of Xuanfu Datong. It's already very bold, if you don't even make it clear to a few generals on your side, then you really can't say it, so after dinner, he invited everyone over, pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said: "Let you tell me something, I plan to divide my troops and go out, and clean up the robberies around me, but it must be risky to do so, first, if we disperse our troops, we have little advantage over Shangjiannu, and secondly, we are afraid that Haoge will suddenly attack Xuanzhen, and we can't get together troops and horses to fight him in a hurry, Brother Cao is also okay, General Su and General Xu are both from Xuanzhen, and they want to come to get an idea. ”

After that, he sat on the chair, drank tea slowly, and waited for Su Cheng and Xu Lin's reaction, as for Cao Bianjiao, he was not worried, this is an absolute righteous gentleman, and he divided his troops not for any personal matter, but to save the robbed Li people, Cao Bianjiao will definitely not have any objections, looking at the excited expression on this kid's face, it is estimated that he would like to hurry over and fight, so there is no need to consider his opinion at all, the more troublesome are the two Xuanzhen, after all, if he divides the army, These two probably won't be able to defend Xuanzhen, and when they can't figure out something about Xuanzhen, they will appear somewhere in Datong and compete with Houjin's robbery horse team.

Fortunately, the attitude of these two is also very clear, Su Cheng said bluntly: "When we came out, the chief soldier has explained, told us to listen to General Song for everything, what is the only thing you can do, since the general wants to divide the troops, then we will fight separately, anyway, I have already seen that these Jiannu are not pleasing to the eye, robbing our villages and towns everywhere, and taking the people away, but we want to defend Xuanzhen, I dare not go out to fight with them, now since there is General Song with me, Lao Xu and I will also be chic once, Let these dogs know that we are awesome of the masters of the Xuanfu! ”

"Since this is the case, then I'm not welcome, anyway, they are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and there is no need to divide you and me, I myself led 5,000 soldiers and horses to sweep due north, General Cao led 5,000 people to the same road with me, and then acted separately in the north, the two generals of Xuanfu took 10,000 horses to march to the west, and you can do it yourself where you hit, and the remaining 9,000 people are given to Xue Wu and Kong Youde, and they will fight around the circle, and drive the Jiannu between Xuanda out of Lu!"

"The last general respects his life!" All the generals gave up their hands together, even if Cao Bianjiao's official position was equivalent to Song Qing, and Su Cheng was one grade higher than Song Qing, they were all honest and obedient at the moment, after all, Song Qing was the largest number of people in the three parties, and Song Qing was the most capable of fighting soldiers and horses, and Song Qing was the most famous and qualified to command the whole army, and they themselves had no opinion on listening to Song Qing's orders, so it was very easy to reach a united front and immediately start to divide the troops.

The commanders have no opinions, and the same is true of the soldiers, they have just experienced a brilliant victory, at this time they are full of confidence, the Xuzhou soldiers are used to winning, so they don't feel anything, Cao Bianjiao's soldiers and horses and Xuanzhen's soldiers and horses are all arrogant, I heard that the generals above are going to divide their troops to clean up the slaves who robbed the people's property, and they are all so excited that they can't help themselves, here is not only the problem of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, but also the benefits of getting rich, especially the Xuzhou soldiers pay attention to the capture of fifty percent of the return to the public, The rest is all in the way of the individual. Let everyone be very interested in cleaning up the bandits and grass bandits, etc.,I made a lot of money by fighting the rogue before.,Now it's still the old way to fight the slave.。

With such a mood, Qiu Laohu and the others followed Xue Wu's 9,000-strong brigade and marched towards the junction of Xuanda in the west, General Xue was also very able to understand Song Qing's meaning, and his own 9,000 people were also scattered, scattered to various villages and towns, and let them play freely.

So, two days later, Qiu Laohu had already left the brigade. Or there is no brigade, he took his own soldiers and horses of the general flag, under the leadership of two hundred households into the southwest of Xuanfu, there are many villages near this are said to be often looted by Jiannu, Huang Taiji into the Kou until now, there have been five or six villages have been razed to the ground, this razed to the ground is not just talking, the pigtail soldiers came over with great fanfare, and robbed all these villages. Kill all those who dared to resist, then take the rest of the population and burn the village to the ground.

But most of the day's work, a village that has lived and multiplied in the vicinity for I don't know how many years. It is possible that it will be erased from the map forever, although the map of the Ming Dynasty certainly has no trace of the existence of this village, but Song Qing is reluctant to do so, he used to read the history books. is always dissatisfied with these things, and after Jin entered the Kou several times, the border towns can be defended. But those forts and villages and towns on the periphery were almost swept all over the house, and the Ming army did not have the slightest intention of going out to find face, and a large amount of wealth and people were eventually taken away by the Houjin and became a vascular channel.

This kind of thing is just once or twice, but the number of times is more and more, and the Houjin soldiers are becoming more and more unscrupulous after they come in, because they all know very well that the Ming army will not come out at all, they will only watch from the city, if they just come to rob, they will not be threatened at all, they only need to rob things and people, and then take all of these away, and the rest of the things do not need to be considered at all, they are very safe.

The territory of Xuanzhen is smaller, but most of the troops are near Xuanfu Sanwei and Xuanfu Town, and the rest of the places are basically undefended, Qiu Laohu and they have walked for a day, and they have seen too many looted villages, and some are even emitting black smoke, proving that those Jiannu have just left not far away, and the two hundred households want to kill people several times, but they can never find where the opponent is, so they can only scold and vent a few times.

This situation lasted until noon the next day, they found an unknown village, was being ransacked by more than 20 pigtailed soldiers, where can two hundred households still hold on, and immediately led people to wave weapons and rushed up, the other party also found them, but there was no fear at all, according to normal circumstances, more than 20 pigtailed soldiers can deal with more than 300 Ming troops, in front of this is only 200, basically within the number of people who can be slaughtered, the leader of the pigtail soldiers shouted loudly, he should be talking about the Jurchen, None of them understood, but they all understood what they meant, for the braided soldiers who were robbing had put down their things and rushed towards them with their fellows.

"Formation, fuck it!" One of the hundred households reacted quickly, and suddenly thought that his subordinates were not all Xuzhou soldiers, and it may not be easy to rush up, so he immediately issued an order to form a formation, and more than 80 Xuzhou soldiers under his command immediately began to form a formation, because it was a mobile battle, so they did not have pikemen, but there were more than a dozen of them with firearms, divided into two rows and already standing, and two archers were also in place, and the rest were all holding swords, shields or short guns, of course, there were also Qiu Laohu, a good man type with a big blade, in short, the formation speed was very fast.

The rest of the soldiers and horses are from the Xuanfu side, they naturally don't know what the formation of Xuzhou Wei is like, but it is also one of the border towns, and it is no problem to practice or something, and a mandarin duck formation is immediately formed at the moment, although it looks loose, but it is also like that, at least the momentum is not a problem, after all, they have just won the battle, and they are all this kind of pigtail soldiers, plus there are powerful Xuzhou soldiers in front of them, so they are not nervous, on the contrary, some are bold and even some eager to try, Finally, they didn't lose their faces.

The pigtailed soldiers didn't seem to be aware of this, since they followed Huang Taiji in, they basically didn't encounter any organized resistance, and it wasn't that they hadn't encountered the Ming army before, but the other party either simply ignored them, or shot arrows from afar, and then quickly withdrew, all in all, it didn't pose any threat at all, but it added a lot of incompetent smiling faces of the Ming army to them, for casual chatting after dinner.

These are relatively fresh in front of them, because they saw that the pigtailed soldiers didn't move, this is already a very good Ming army, the leading armored soldier showed a cruel smile, and rushed up with a knife, and the clothes behind them are also like this, and even many people feel lucky, because they came out this time just to rob, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to make military achievements, this is definitely a surprise, so I rushed over almost without the slightest hesitation, until the sound of more than a dozen firecrackers sounded, The armoured soldiers who rushed to the front, and the three most recent ones who followed him, were shot and killed, and the rest suddenly realized that it was probably not as simple as they thought.

"Reload the firecracker, and the others will kill me!" They were stunned, two hundred Ming troops had rushed up, leading a big man with a ghost head knife, as soon as he came up, he hacked to death the nearest Bao Yi, the other Ming troops were also extraordinarily brave, they were surrounded in an instant, all kinds of weapons attacked one after another, more than a dozen Bao Yi were killed on the spot in a blink of an eye, and the Ming army was lucky that no one lost.

"Clean up the battlefield, Qiu Laohu will take people to the village to have a look, and the things will be left for you!" The hundred households who led the team gave an order, and immediately began to search their bodies by themselves, and it didn't take long to find a lot of belongings from the armored soldier, and then began to walk towards another corpse, and the other Ming troops pounced on the boxes full of things, these things are obviously not something that a village can have, even if it is, they don't plan to return the things, as for what to do with this village, that's a matter later, don't think about these for the time being.

Everything has to wait for Qiu Laohu to bring people into the village, find out the situation clearly, and then talk about it, the most important thing is to see how many people are left in the village, and then consider the next step. (To be continued......)
