Chapter 217: Awakening (Part II)
Fortunately, Jin An's training was always somewhat useful, at least it was more powerful than these fierce bandits alone, so the bandits who resisted in the west of the opposite village had already killed thirteen people and injured five others.
Guan Kuo rode at the back of the line without a trace, and did not make a move.
It's not that his heart is very cold and ruthless, after all, he is a person who has participated in the war, if these men are preparing to farm in the fields and have to resist these bandits, he will definitely help, but now, unless the situation is very critical, he will be cold and watch.
Jin An wants this is this, such a baptism of knives and blood. Guan Kuo can kill all the more than 30 bandits in the west of the village with one person, but what's the use of this? Without enough training, these "recruits" will not die in the hands of the bandits today, and will also die in the hands of the Northern Tang people tomorrow.
After losing two more people, they finally completely eliminated the resistance in the west of the village, and at this moment, in addition to him, there were twenty-one people left, all of whom looked like they had survived the catastrophe, some with flushed faces, some with pale faces.
When the battle is not really over, there should be no such mentality and expression, Guan Kuo is not prepared to teach them, only let them understand it themselves.
Sure enough, these twenty-one people had just taken a breath when they heard the sound of dense people and horses, and one of the first bearded men rode fiercely into him, followed by more than 80 bandits with fierce faces.
In the face of such momentum, and the sheer number of people, most of these people who experienced the battle for the first time were almost terrified, and some of them even lost their weapons, and the girl ran away.
"Whoosh-"
An arrow feather shattered through the void and plunged head-on into the left chest of a deserter.
Looking at the person who fell straight down, Jiang Tunshui's eyes flashed a trace of unbearability, but he still made a cold look, and shouted coldly: "If there are any more escapees, depending on this, we have all come over and destroy the enemy!" ”
He was followed by more than forty horses, but because of their resources, except for a very few people on horseback, the others were infantry.
The other people who still wanted to escape from the battle, I don't know if it was because they were afraid of him, or because they were determined to see the reinforcements coming, they gave up the idea of escaping, became stable, and stayed where they were, and set up an array according to what Jin An taught.
Jiang Tunshui came to the two stunned deserters and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you quickly pick up arms to meet the enemy?" I can be blameless! ”
The two deserters finally knew what they were supposed to do, and immediately ran back to pick up their weapons and put them into the array.
Jiang Tunshui and the people behind him also entered it.
Seeing that they were in a good array, their beards were a little uneasy, but as soon as they gritted their teeth, they had already led people to rush in.
Just as they were in the middle of their slaughter, there was a commotion behind them, and one of the bandits shouted in panic: "Why are there soldiers coming from behind us?" We're surrounded! ”
Facts have proved that Jiang Tunshui doesn't know if it's talent or what he learned from Jin An has played a role, this time, he successfully outflanked this group of bandits with only one brute strength, and dragged the other party into a desperate situation.
The next thing is much simpler, although this group of people can only be regarded as recruits, but after all, they are also trained soldiers, the equipment is unified, a little tacit understanding, the time and place are favorable, and all are occupied, even if they are bearded and scolded, the bandits are still defeated, most of them died on the spot, and some people scattered in a hurry, scattered and fled.
At this moment, Guan Kuo began to finish his actions and kill some of the bandits who scattered and fled, so that they would not gather elsewhere and continue to cause trouble.
Jiang Tunshui cut off the head of the beard with a knife, ending all this, and when he counted the number of people at the end, he found that eighty people were not in charge, and there were fifty-six people left, and the casualties were quite large.
This group of people had different expressions and mixed emotions, the first battle, a big victory, this is something that makes them excited and happy, but the bloody scene and the heavy casualties still make them feel frightened and uncomfortable, which takes longer to polish.
The people of the village who were still able to move came to help them clean up the battlefield with their grief, buried the dead outside the village, and thanked them for their kindness, but as for the corpses of the rogues, they were gathered together and burned by the hated villagers.
After a simple meal in the village and a night in the open, and the next morning, almost everyone felt that they had benefited a lot.
Along the way, Guan Kuo Cema and Jiang Tunshui, who basically didn't talk much to them, went hand in hand, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that you, a member of the army, are still quite qualified." ”
Jiang Tunshui looked at him silently for a long time, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to talk about the past, and I don't want to recall, those are not pleasant topics and memories." ”
Guan Kuo nodded: "I know." ”
He added, "So, are you ready to become a general?" ”
"One step at a time...... Jiang Swallowing Shui sighed.
"What about you?" He tilted his head.
Guan Kuo smiled: "I'm just an idle cloud and wild crane, just fighting side by side with you for some reasons related to fate, there will always be a moment of parting ways in the future, I am different from you." ”
"I can see it." Jiang Tunshui also laughed.
The original 8,000 men and horses were divided into dozens or hundreds of people, attacking everywhere, like children hungry and thirsty to suck nutrients, they need to grow, they have no time, if they don't get rapid growth, and the war with the Northern Tang, they are going to die.
Jin An knew that even if this was the case, it was only a stopgap measure, and the combat effectiveness of the rogues and the experience given to them was rudimentary, and it would shock them at the beginning and help them a lot, but later, it would make them not understand the war - because of the real war, they will face the regular army, not a group of miscellaneous people.
A month has passed, people from all directions have defected to join, and some of the forces around Lin'an who rebelled against the Northern Tang Dynasty also followed, for a while, Lin'an actually gathered 20,000 horses, although the equipment has not been unified, and the combat effectiveness is uneven, but the number of people is amazing enough.
At the end of the final training and experience, only 15,000 of the 20,000 people remained, and the rest died for various reasons.
