Chapter 863: Killing Strategy
So, Wang Bo didn't discuss too much on this topic, so he changed his tone and continued: "Of course, raising tigers for the sake of suffering is for raising tigers, and we don't have to worry too much...... I believe that the commander must have been prepared for this result......"
"Okay, don't be upset, our guard battalion, after all, with a force of less than a thousand people, successfully eliminated 2,500 Tartar elites, in terms of results, it can already be called a big victory...... Pass my order, and the guard battalion will immediately clean up the battlefield and retreat......"
The battle is over, and the Houjin secret camp has completely returned to calm. The original Huang Taiji Chinese Army Tent has become the Chinese Army Tent of Wang Feng, the commander of the First Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
As time passed, the battalion commanders who had been sent out to pursue the Tartar deserters had returned to the secret camp one after another.
Wang Bo, who chased the farthest and eliminated the most Tartars, was the last to enter the Chinese army's tent without accident.
When Wang Bo said the specific number of his Tartars, the face of the army commander Wang Feng full of anticipation was immediately covered with a thick smile.
Because, coupled with the more than 2,000 Tartars eliminated by Wang Bo, the total strength of the Houjin Army who died in the hands of the first division in the entire pursuit battle reached an astonishing 12,000 people.
And the Tartars who escaped with Huang Taiji were less than 14,000 people.
In other words, in this vast mountain, the number of troops that the Tartars can still use is less than 2,000 people.
Of course, if you count those who have long since fled from the army, there are still 10,000 people.
However, judging from the low morale of these rear marches, it can be judged that Huang Taiji, who successfully evaded the pursuit. No matter how powerful you are. Nor can it be in a short period of time. Reassemble these fleeing Tartars.
Because, these Tartars who fled from the army and were demoralized no longer had any hope for the future of Houjin and Huang Taiji.
In any case, this big battle against the Tartars is almost over here.
Although he failed to catch Huang Taiji. Let Houjin completely destroy the country. However, at least for the next few years, Houjin will not be able to pose any threat to the Haw Par Army......
Seeing that Wang Feng did not blame himself for letting go of Huang Taiji, Wang Bo was moved, but he still said with a worried face: "Commander, what you said is not wrong, with the current strength of the Tartars, there is indeed no way to pose any threat to us in a few years...... But what about a few years from now? ”
"With the prestige of Huang Taiji in Houjin. Now let go of Huang Taiji, and use the four words of raising tigers to describe it. Definitely not an exaggeration......"
"So, in order to prevent Houjin from rising again and becoming the enemy of my Tiger and Leopard Army...... I beg the commander to give me a chance......"
"Huang Taiji was let go by my first division, and it is the responsibility of my first division to recapture him...... Therefore, I hope that the army commander can leave the first division and continue to encircle and suppress the Tartars hiding in the mountains until they are completely wiped out, and they can no longer threaten our Tiger and Par Army. ”
Of course, Wang Feng knows the truth that raising tigers is a problem. If it had been a few years ago, Wang Feng would definitely agree to Wang Bo's invitation to fight, leaving him to continue the struggle against the remnants of the Later Jin Dynasty and completely eliminate the enemies in the Later Jin Dynasty.
However, this is no longer the case......
Compared with Wang Feng's First Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, Wang Feng already had a better candidate in mind to complete this task.
Not only that, but the candidate he selected was more suitable for mountain warfare without the need for any losses from the Haw Par Army. can easily wipe out the remnants of the Houjin Army. Help the Haw Par Army, completely control and weaken Houjin's strength little by little. So that Houjin will never have the possibility and hope of re-rising.
Therefore, under Wang Bo's expectant gaze, Wang Feng refused without thinking about it......
"I was going to leave a unit behind, but not your first division...... Compared to the destruction of the remnants of the Houjin Army, your first division has more important tasks to complete...... So, don't think about staying here......"
Wang Bo, whose face quickly flashed a trace of disappointment, subconsciously asked, "Then commander, what do you plan to stay?" ”
"An independent division that is about to be expanded into a division...... That is, the Sokti Division, which was formed entirely by the Tartar army......"
"Compared with the first division, these Tartars are more familiar with the mountains and forests under our feet. Therefore, letting them encircle and suppress the remnants of the Houjin Army is the best candidate for now......"
Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a long time. Obviously, Wang Bo was full of confusion and doubt about this answer from the army commander Wang Feng.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Feng's words were finished, Wang Bo opened his mouth and reminded: "Commander, don't worry, after we leave, these Tartar troops will once again oppose us." Even surrender directly to Huang Taiji and continue to follow Huang Taiji to attack us......"
"No......" Wang Feng didn't think about it, so he gave Wang Bo a very positive answer.
"These surrendered soldiers who joined the independent division, except to follow us and give my life to the Tiger and Leopard Army, they have no other way out......"
"In the entire secret camp, we have captured more than 9,000 Tartars...... However, among the more than 9,000 Tartars, I only intend to leave 4,000 to join the independent division...... As for the remaining 5,000 or so Tartars, there was only one way out, and that was to be killed by the surrendered troops who joined the independent division...... If he doesn't want to kill, then wait to be killed by someone else......"
"As long as these soldiers carry the name of a compatriot in their hands, then this soldier will become the enemy of the entire Houjin...... If they don't follow our Tiger and Leopard Army, then they will be cut by a thousand knives by the remaining people of Houjin......"
"Forcing them to follow us is just one of the ways I target them...... In addition to forcing them, I will also put a bait full of temptation on them, tempting them to give me an errand for the Haw Par Army......"
"Before I leave, I'll tell them...... In the next battle, they can use their heads to exchange for enough combat exploits from our Tiger and Par Army. ”
"As long as they have a certain number of battle exploits in their hands, they can rely on their war exploits to become the patriarch of one of the hundreds of tribes in Houjin, and control the life and death power of the entire tribe......
"Even if their limited military exploits are not enough to become tribal chiefs, they can rely on their military exploits in exchange for enough cattle, sheep and slaves to establish a small tribe by themselves......"
"Think about it, under the stimulus of these decoys, those who joined the independent division are rebelling against our Tiger and Leopard Army at the risk of being cut by a thousand knives. Or follow my tiger and leopard army to enjoy the glory and wealth......"
"As long as they choose the latter, under their slaughter, there will be fewer and fewer remnants of the Houjin army. Not only that, but in order to maintain their dominance in Houjin, their butcher's knives will not hesitate to cut at those people who are hostile to them...... In this way, Houjin will fall into a never-ending killing and being killed......"
"How long do you think Houjin's limited population can last in this never-ending slaughter without being exterminated......" (To be continued......
