Chapter 1135: Blan
Silla, as he continues to go north, the more rogue troops Zhou Shaoyu can explore, no more than the straw bags he met at the beginning, and the rest of the rogue army still has a certain combat power more or less, and the main victory is that there are many people, and there is still a lot of pomp and circumstance at that station, and it will damage morale before he starts to fight his own side.
However, numbers have never been the absolute deciding factor in warfare.
"Report, Naoe and the thousands of people under his command successfully lured away 20,000 thieves, and at this moment there are only 10,000 people in the headquarters of the thief army." The scout quickly reported to Malay, and Zhou Shaoyu was also refreshed.
Don't look at Naoe and continue to lure the enemy with 1,000 troops, in fact, there is no danger, the 1,000 people under his command are also the elite light feet of Sister Uesugi's family, they can't fight, they still run, this battle itself only needs him to constantly contain and delay time, and he doesn't need to face the enemy head-on.
The real battlefield is still here with Zhou Shaoyu. Up to now, even if you never face the enemy head-on, casualties are inevitable, and the original 3,000 mercenaries are now more than 2,600 people left, which is a little less, but it is enough.
"Could it be that the lord wants to storm the thief army's main formation?" Qiu Mingyuan said euphemistically. It seems to be asking questions, but it is actually reminding that less than 3,000 to fight the nearly 10,000 thieves who rely on the defense of the camp are still a miserable victory, and there is no need to do so.
"How is that possible?" Zhou Shaoyu grinned, and said in his heart that he would only knock hard if he was sick, we are not so stupid, not every rogue army is so good, of course, basically the ability of the leader of every rogue army is indeed quite average. After all, they are basically ordinary people, and it is not so easy to accumulate the talents of generals in a short period of time, even if there are Jin people in charge, it does not necessarily mean that Jin people are good at commanding. Fighting bravely and commanding a large army are two different things.
"Qiu Mingyuan, the five hundred overseers and all the war horses belong to you, bring the straw men prepared in advance, drag the branches to raise smoke and dust, be sure to put on a posture of attacking the camp with a large army, and then send people out to discuss surrender." Zhou Shaoyu immediately ordered.
The purpose is very simple, so that the thief army camp does not dare to act rashly, only thinking that the army is coming, and then the thief army will inevitably take advantage of the time to discuss the surrender and send people to recall the soldiers and horses to help. And Zhou Shaoyu ambushed the returning army and launched a surprise attack.
At that time, Zhou Shaoyu launched an ambush in the middle, and Naoe continued to turn the gun to chase after him from behind, and Qiu Mingyuan, the head of the front, intercepted it in time. The Rogue Army does not have such good combat qualities, and it is easy to collapse and flee without any matter how many enemies there are in fact. In this way, a big victory can be expected.
After listening to the arrangement, Qiu Mingyuan looked admiring, and sighed that he was too worried, his own lord had already thought about everything, and there was no need to remind him. It seems that there are more than 20,000 horses outside, but in fact it is far easier to fight than the less than 10,000 people stationed in the camp.
"Remember, everything is careful, don't take risks, don't force it, stop it if you intercept it, it doesn't matter if you can't stop it, those five hundred people are our reserve generals, and any death is a loss." Zhou Shaoyu finally instructed from unease.
In fact, needless to say, Qiu Mingyuan has always been good at guarding and being the most cautious, so he naturally knows these things.
"Well, the last general will act according to the plan, and may the lord and the military be prosperous." Qiu Mingyuan clenched his fists.
Zhou Shaoyu was happy, stretched out his hand a little, and said with a smile: "Where did you learn the set of the Eastern Wa people, and the martial arts are prosperous, but I accept your auspicious words, go ahead." ”
Fighting this kind of rogue thief army, there is really not much challenge, not to mention that the Silla people themselves will be much weaker. There are no unscrupulous generals, and there are even fewer scruples. Unless the gap in numbers is too large, it is not difficult to win the war, that is, it is basically not necessary to think about what to annihilate completely.
However, the main purpose of Zhou Shaoyu's trip was to weaken the vitality of the Jin people, although the Silla Liukou army was supported by the Jin people, but it was difficult to kill all of this thing, and if a part of it was slaughtered, it would jump out of the new one, and the Silla Chengping was too long, and the population was really a lot.
According to Zhou Shaoyu's meaning, he wanted to touch the Jin people directly, and the main people under his command were mercenaries formed by the Dongwei, and they didn't feel distressed when they died, so they intuitively understood the combat power of the Jin people, even if they were defeated, they were not a loss.
However, along the way, he swept away a few small rogue troops, but there was no shadow of half of the Jin army. Although there were only 5,000 people in Silla, the problem was that there was not even a single piece of news.
Everything went as expected. Qiu Mingyuan was suspicious, obviously there were only five hundred people, but he was stunned to put on a formation of three or four thousand people. Although this number of people is still only half of the thief army's camp, the 500 overseers are well-armed and have 100 war horses, which thief army dares to take the initiative to fight.
Really surrendered? If there are no Jin people in the camp, and there are more enemy soldiers and horses, maybe they will really think about one or two, but there are Jin people in the camp, which is the turn of the Silla people to call the shots, and the appearance of the enemy army of three or four thousand people, it is not impossible to fight, the final choice is naturally to delay the time to recall the soldiers and horses.
The ordinary Silla Liukou army naturally did not have war horses to speak of, but the Jin people did, and the two Jin people rode fast horses and whipped out of the camp to summon people, and they could naturally catch up with the first 20,000 foot soldiers.
It's a pity that this tributary Kou army has been chasing Naoe for a long time, and he hasn't touched half a hair, but he is tired and miserable, and he doesn't have much time to rest, so he has to turn his head non-stop to help, which is reasonable. However, after all, no one resisted, and if you really have the courage, why wait until now, you have already resisted. In other words, those who have the courage to resist have already been cut down.
Ambushing an exhausted army and horses is really not very difficult, even if there are several times the number of them. Zhou Shaoyu didn't even bother to rush into battle in person, just kidding, even if his physical fitness is extremely strong now, it is still very tiring to fight, okay, besides, he is no longer a hot-blooded youth, and he is really not very interested in going into battle to kill the enemy and cut people.
The Rogue army was almost crushed at the touch of a button, and it was not too challenging. It is not easy to restrain the mercenaries under his command to kill the rise, people are originally taking their lives to earn silver, and the more heads they have, the more silver they will reward, even if Zhou Shaoyu is the employer, it is really forcibly forbidden at this time, and he will turn his face to you every minute. This is one of the drawbacks, but it's not so comfortable to carry after all. It's better to expect Akechi Mitsuhide to gather enough people to be led by him.
Suddenly, I heard a shout of killing from the rear of the thief army, and a military flag with the word "Bi (Tongbi)" was unfurled, and Naoe continued to wear a special armor of the Eastern Wa, wearing a helmet with the word "love", and he was sitting high and charging forward.
Zhou Shaoyu bared his teeth, and he had a small urge to shoot him with an arrow, and this target was also big.
In the end, he became a retainer at the age of five, and he went through various training and edification when he was young. And the thief army has already become a pot of porridge, naturally chopping melons and vegetables.
"Shame on the enemy, I'll take off his clothes!" Naoe roared suddenly, holding a knife in his right hand and an unknown object in his left hand, it turned out that he had slaughtered a golden man!
"Fog grass, stay alive!" Zhou Shaoyu was speechless for an instant, and he was still trying his best to find out where the Jinren Department was.
In this battle, more than 4,000 enemies were killed, and there were not many prisoners, Zhou Shaoyu cried out in pain, it was all silver money. Fortunately, for the time being, it is all recorded, and if they return to the East after the battle smoothly, it will be issued, as for what accident died on the way, cough cough, calm down, do you need to ask.
The best news is that Qiu Mingyuan, who was in charge of intercepting at the front, captured a Jin man, and when he caught this person, Qiu Mingyuan resolutely stopped forcibly intercepting it, and Jin talent was the focus. After several interrogations......
"What? The 5,000 gold men have already left Silla? Want to enter the grassland to fight a decisive battle with Ashina Huqin? Zhou Shaoyu was shocked.
Because of the messaging, this Jin man only knows about this, and this is almost a month ago, and as for more information, this Jin Ren is not clear. God knows what the situation is now.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Shaoyu decisively ignored the Liukou army stationed in the camp, turned to the southwest, and went straight to Xinqingseong, the current capital of Silla. As the current capital of Silla, at least the news there is better, and I can't say that my sister has sent someone to inform me, but I can't find myself so I delayed.
Grassland, Ashina Department.
"Youzhou has already promised to send troops to help?" Ashina's tone was a little light, although he had recovered, his body was still weak, and even if he recovered well in the future, it would be impossible to return to his original beginning. This is indeed difficult for Ashina Huqin to accept.
"Yes Khan, Youzhou has agreed to cooperate, but ......"
"But I didn't say when and where the troops would be gathered." Ashina Huqin guessed it himself. Seeing that everyone under his command had doubts on their faces, Ashina suddenly waved his hand, and continued: "I know what you are worried about, don't worry, in this battle, the Jin people will be defeated." ”
At this time, those who remained by Ashina Huqin's side were naturally basically diehards, and Ashina Huqin said so, and everyone naturally believed that since the Jin people would be defeated, in other words, they would win? So they were happy one by one, during this period of time, they kept pretending to be defeated, the pressure was not small, and such a weak tactics of showing the enemy were not very suitable for their Turks, and the warriors below had a big opinion, too cowardly.
Ashina Huqin didn't say much to explain such a misunderstood idea, he only said that the Jin people would be defeated, but he didn't say that the Turks would definitely win.
In order to lure the enemy, Ashina's department has been retreating with limited speed. The reason for such a quick retreat is also very easy to explain, Ashina Huqin was seriously injured, could not withstand the bumps, and could not move quickly, so it was more reasonable for the Turks to go up to intercept the Jin army in waves and delay the latter's marching speed. The effect is also real, the Jin army is getting deeper and deeper into the grassland, and the distance between it and Ashina's department is getting closer and closer.
At the same time, a Turkic tribe migrated from west to east to graze, looking at its banner, people who are familiar with the steppe tribes know that this is a tribe living in the central and western part of the steppe, the strength is in the middle and upper, and ordinary tribes dare not provoke at will. The Bran tribe has always been kind, rarely initiates disputes, has always taken care of many weak tribes, and has a good reputation in the grassland, no matter where the Bran tribe grazes, it will be warmly received, and no one will provoke the Bran tribe for no reason.
The reason for this is that in addition to the fact that the strength of the Bran tribe is not weak, it is also because the Bran tribe is very beautiful, especially good at marriage, and has contacts with many large tribes. Whoever moved the Bran Department was not as simple as one or two tribes. Even the two generations of Ashina Khan were quite polite to the Branbu.
It is precisely because of this that other tribes do not dare to enter the territory controlled by Ashina to graze at will, but only the Bran tribe has no scruples in this regard, and it is most normal and reasonable for the Bulan tribe to appear here.
"Sisters, don't worry, the Bran Department has already surrendered to me in private, and there will be no surprise in using their names, the real Bran Department is currently located in the west of the grassland, which is extremely far away, and there will be no news for a while, and this battle will never be delayed." Ainur's sworn ticket.
Li Xiuning naturally has no opinion, of course, the more similar the disguise, the better. To be honest, Ainur is well prepared, in addition to a reasonable name, Ainur even brought a team of female cavalry, naturally they are all women on the grassland, and they can be regarded as Ainul's guards. In this way, the disguise is more perfect, after all, how can a tribe have only men and no women?
And there is an unexpected joy on this trip, the tribe with tens of thousands of people is still very eye-catching in the grassland, and the Jin people naturally have some inquiry, but not only did they not see through the disguise, but they also sent people over to negotiate and win over, and they gave a gift.
The Jin people are not stupid, even if they defeat Ashina Huqin, it is impossible to sweep away all the forces of the grassland with the population of today, and they should take the grassland tribes after showing enough combat power. In this way, a political regime was established with the Jin people as the core and other ethnic groups as auxiliaries. And Branbe is one of the best targets.
It's a good idea, but it's a pity that Li Ghost is mistaken for Li Kui, and this Blanbu is fake at all.
Yang Miaozhen was a little not interested, yawned for a long time, licked her lips, and said, "It's really not a taste in my mouth, I want to eat big white rice." I bet that when I returned to Youzhou after this battle, I would definitely not want to eat meat for a long time, and I would be so tired of panicking. ”
This is very happy, where can there be so much rice to eat on the grassland, so many people to supply, and the logistical pressure is also great. Naturally, what the people on the grassland eat, they will eat. It's not that I don't have it in private, isn't it a big soldier, and I can't open a small stove, but the number is also limited, so I have to save it.
After that, I picked up a cup of special milk tea and took a big sip, and exhaled a long breath, which was a lot more comfortable. Baza Baza mouth, feeling a little hungry again, hesitated, and shouted: "Come on, get a roast leg of lamb." ”
!!!
Who just said that you are tired of eating meat? Li Xiuning rolled her eyes, and she didn't know what to say. Think about it, thumbs up, you win.
Well, this relaxed posture, how can there be a sense of tension that a half-minute battle is imminent, but Ainul has to go to find someone every once in a while to inquire about the latest news ahead, which is quite untenable.
