Chapter 752: It can only be proved with blood
Although the general in the battalion was still a little confused and his head hurt, this was just the sequelae of having just drunk a lot of alcohol. He quickly came to the knight, grabbed the knight who had dismounted, and pulled him in front of him.
The general asked, "How many thieves are there, and have they attacked the county seat?" What's going on in the county now? ”
The questions he asks are very important, and they are also convenient for him to target. The people present now, including him, only know that Linchuan City was attacked by thieves, but the exact number of thieves and the situation of the battle are all unknown.
"There's... There were forty or fifty people. You've already attacked the county seat, so you should be attacking the county seat now, right? The knight replied quickly, but he was a little unsure at the end. When he left, the thieves were approaching the county office, and at that rate, by the time he came here, he should have already begun to attack the county office.
"Dozens of thieves?" The expression on the general's face became extremely exciting, as if he had heard a very funny joke, and he couldn't believe it was true.
How many people did he keep in the county? A full 800 soldiers, led by two of his lieutenants, were stationed in Linchuan County. Coupled with the manpower that there are in the county seat and the county ya, there are already more than 800 people.
There are more than 800 people, saying that they were attacked by dozens of thieves, and they also attacked the county seat, and they are attacking the county government, how could he believe that this is really happening? That's more than 800 people, not more than 800 grasses, even if it's more than 800 grasses, it's not so easy to pull it out, let alone people!
Even if he kills all the thieves, this time the guilt will not be lighter. Almost in the entire army, under the rule of General Zhonglang, there has never been a case where a county town has been attacked by dozens of thieves.
Now that it has appeared, this county town happens to be guarded by him, and the responsibility must be borne by him! That's dozens of people, if it's hundreds or thousands of thieves, he still has a reason to explain after the thieves are wiped out afterwards.
Now, I have nothing to say, and I can't think of any reason to excuse myself.
"What about Zhang Xuan and Li Chu? How did they do it! He asked through gritted teeth, his grip increasing on his hand.
"Captain Zhang is still guarding the county office, Captain Li, Captain Li... Captain Lee had already died in battle. The knight who had been strangled by the neck looked pained and felt more and more difficult to breathe.
"Rubbish!" The general let go of his hand and scolded angrily.
The knight was relieved, breathing heavily, and looked at the general in fear.
These two wastes, one died well, and the other one, he wouldn't let him have a good time. It's all because of these two wastes, and there is no way to eliminate even dozens of thieves, what is the use of such a subordinate?
Even if he is sure to be heavily punished this time, before the heavy punishment, he will make the culprit who is still alive pay his due. He believed in these two people like that, and the result? As a result, that's how they reciprocate! Intolerable!
However, it is useless to say that this is not necessary now. The most important thing is that he must kill the thieves in Linchuan County as quickly as possible, and the faster he solves it, the punishment he will receive will be reduced accordingly.
With a roll of his eyes, he had already thought of a way. Zhang Xuan's guy can't die, since he and Li Chu are both responsible for guarding Linchuan County, then it is a matter of course to push out the one who is still alive as a shield.
He, the official, is only guilty of lax majesty at best.
"Come on, mobilize the army, and follow me to support Linchuan County!" The general shouted, and the soldiers and horses in the battalion had begun to be prepared.
In addition, the soldiers just now had already brought his weapons and armor, and also brought his war horses.
"Two hundred cavalry are out of line, follow me to support Linchuan City first!" Quickly putting on his armor, he took his spear and stepped onto his horse.
Dozens of thieves, in his opinion, it is still easy to solve, as long as he brings his two hundred cavalry. The reason why I brought all the soldiers with me was just to make a gesture.
"Everyone else follows, let's go!" As soon as he pulled the reins, the general's horse immediately neighed and ran towards the outside of the camp.
Behind him were two hundred cavalry, and four thousand soldiers ran to follow.
Only the knight who had come to report was left in his place, and he looked at the figure of the general leaving, his mouth open, but he could not say anything else. People can no longer see, and if they shout a voice, they don't know if the other party can hear it.
He was just about to remind those thieves of their combat effectiveness, those thieves, anyway, in his opinion, don't look like thieves, thieves can't have that kind of combat power and equipment. However, if a general leads 4,000 soldiers and horses to the county seat, it can be easily pacified, right?
The knight also remounted his horse and hurriedly followed.
"Rubbish! Rubbish! The general on the horse was still swearing, with anger at the two captains.
He rode forward, and if he rode a horse, Linchuan County would only be there in a minute or two. Coupled with the two hundred cavalry around him, when the time comes, it will be impossible for the thieves to stop them with the advantage of the cavalry, not to mention just a few dozen thieves.
Therefore, he didn't care about the 4,000 soldiers who couldn't keep up behind him, and after he arrived in Linchuan County, he would settle the matter and these soldiers would probably arrive. At that time, they could only do the finishing touches, and no matter how many things they were, the enemy's words, they had already been killed by him.
"Huh? Who? In the distance, the general saw a group of people in the middle of the road ahead, and when he saw the armor they were wearing and the swords and shields in their hands, he immediately realized that this was the enemy.
Sure enough, as he thought, it wouldn't be just a few dozen thieves. If there are dozens of thieves, unless they have their brains pumped, they will dare to hit the idea of a county seat, otherwise just the ordinary people in the county town will trample on them with a kick, which is enough to trample them into meat sauce.
He had the urge to go back and beat up the knight who had told the news, but it was not the right time, and he had to deal with it later.
According to rough estimates, there are more than 200 of these thieves. More than two hundred people, under the attack of the same number of cavalry, were completely crushed, so a cruel smile appeared on the general's face.
"Charge with me and crush them!" He raised his spear, pointed straight ahead, and shouted at a loud voice.
"Sure enough, the military advisor is right, Liangzhou is prolific with war horses, but not any army can equip a large number of war horses. It is estimated that these cavalry are only prepared to deal with emergencies and can react quickly. Gao Shun, who was armed with a long knife and shield, looked at the rushing cavalry, and did not panic at all, but thought of something else.
The cavalry was getting closer and closer, but he was exactly the same as the soldiers trapped in the camp around him, he didn't move, and his face didn't change much. Like silent stones, they stood in the middle of the road, waiting for a wave of cavalry to onslaught.
Closer, so close that you could already see the faces of the cavalry on those horses, and you could also see their hideous expressions with a little banter. It was from the arrogance of the cavalry, Gao Shun knew that as long as the cavalry had such arrogance, the ferocity that crushed everything.
In the past, when he was merging states, the reason why he was unable to form the entrapment camp he imagined was all because of the cavalry. Ding Yuan felt that the infantry had no role, naturally he would not have any chance of forming a camp, and he did not have the power to form a battalion of troops privately.
Yun Ting is different, he always has a lot of resources tilted towards him, and the reason why there are not many cavalry in the territory now is also because a large amount of money has flowed into the trap camp. Almost all of the only horses were captured during the attack on the Qiang tribe or the bandits around the territory.
Gao Shun has always wanted to prove that on the battlefield, it is not the cavalry that is king! The cavalry is very powerful, but it is far from the point where it can dominate the battlefield!
Even later, he may be just a part of the green leaves next to the red flower, but by then, he had already proven the importance of other classes on the battlefield. A true soldier knows that he will never rely on a single class of troops to decide the course of a battle!
All this needs blood to achieve and prove. This is exactly what Gao Shun wants to do all the time.
"Withdraw the shield!" When the cavalry approached sixty meters ahead, Gao Shun ordered.
It was a very strange order, and the general with two hundred cavalry on the other side couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this voice. In his opinion, the thief who spoke must have been stupid, or he knew that he would die, so he simply let himself die faster.
Without any hesitation, like Gao Shun, he held a shield and faced the cavalry trapped soldiers, lifted his shield, and retreated to the left and right. They gave up a clearing, and behind it, dozens of soldiers in the camp were half-kneeling, holding a repeater in their hands, and the cold crossbow arrows on the crossbow were pointed at the incoming cavalry.
Behind these half-kneeling trap soldiers were dozens of trap camp soldiers standing, also holding a repeater crossbow in their hands.
"Put!" Gao Shun's second command followed.
The crossbow soldier in the camp snapped his fingers, and with the sound of the machine spring, the crossbow bolt shot out at a very fast speed, at an extremely tricky angle.
"Woohoo." The sound of the wind brought out by the crossbow arrows sounded densely, and more than 100 repeaters weaved a grid of death.
"Poof, poof." Going down, there was the sound of crossbow arrows entering the flesh, and the horsemen on horseback were pierced through the body by the crossbow arrows, and they were either killed or wounded, and many lost their center of gravity and fell from their horses. For a while, the dull sound of landing was also extraordinary.
In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the two hundred cavalrymen were shot at once. Many of the horsemen suddenly came to their senses, only to find that their comrades who should be not far away had disappeared, and when they looked again, they had fallen to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Thirty meters.
Gao Shun's gaze was cold.
"Together." He stood with his shield and his sword, and beside him were the soldiers of the trapped camp who had closed together, and began to fill the gap.
