Chapter 131: Military Meeting
Xu Wenshan adjusted his breathing several times before he suppressed the yin power that was about to move, and he immediately cut off the supply of demonic power to himself from several monsters. This behavior was somewhat similar to a heart attack in the eyes of others, and the soldiers around him looked at him in amazement, not knowing what had happened to his commander.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the squad who attacked in the backyard had been disheartened by him and did not dare to approach.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the soldiers of Cai Guo who were besieging the courtyard finally couldn't bear it. The Cai soldiers who attacked by surprise were almost all wiped out, only a few ran back, and the wounded soldiers were still lying on the ground moaning. The soldiers who feinted had already walked back and forth at the gate twice, attacking several times, leaving one or two corpses in front of the courtyard wall each time.
This small mansion has actually become a sad place for Cai Guojun's guards.
"Tun Chief, I can't fight anymore, let's go!" A soldier cried and pleaded in front of Kou Guo.
Kou Guo gripped the knife in his hand tightly and slowly released it again.
For a moment, he was tempted to emulate their generals and behead such distracting soldiers. But he is not a general after all, he is just a tun commander, he does not have such great prestige, nor does he have such a high status.
These soldiers are not only their own soldiers, but also their own helpers, and they will have to rely on them to maintain law and order in the future. Therefore, it is impossible for him to be like a general, who does not obey military orders and only beheads.
He looked around at the soldiers around him, and saw that all of them were as white as earth, three points like people and seven points like ghosts, and finally sighed and said, "Withdraw." ”
Kou Guo gave an order, and the soldiers of Cai Guo retreated en masse, and they didn't even have time to carry the wounded soldiers back. The deer and crane soldiers in the courtyard cheered, this was the first time they had defeated a country's regular army outside the mountains.
Xu Wenshan's face was pale, he was trying his best to suppress his realm.
Others are trying to break through when they cultivate immortals, but they have to do everything possible to cover up their own demon cultivation, this demon cultivation is really a nest.
……
At night, a fire was lit in the Xu Mansion, and all the soldiers were crowded in the main hall, but the excitement was high, everyone was talking about how to beat the Cai army, Xu Wenshan sat alone in the corner, laughing and not saying a word.
For some reason, he is now a little worried about this trip to Shaxian.
This time he came to Shaxian, he planned to buy a slave and go back immediately, not planning to drag mud and water, and the monsters under his command have their own tasks: Saya is cultivating bugs and rice, the spider spirit is in charge of the vigilance of the two villages, Lu Ze is managing the manufacture of cement, and the wine insects are all spit out by him to help make wine. So he doesn't have a single monster with him now.
He sat alone in the corner thinking, and two people crowded next to him, a fat centurion and a thin clerk, both looking at him with a blank look.
The fat man's name is Pang Xing, he originally belonged to the front-line army, but he was injured, and after recovering from his injuries, he was sent to the garrison army. Therefore, although his official rank is centurion, his real power is not as good as that of a small tun chief, and he is not taken seriously, so it is useless to use him as a hostage.
The clerk is called Liang Dong, who is just a child, but because Cai Guoxin occupies a large area of territory and lacks management at the grassroots level, he was transferred to the yamen here as a secretary. The slave trade was part of his job, but he couldn't say anything about it, so he had to take the lead.
That is, both of these people are small fish and shrimp.
"How?" Xu Wenshan saw that these two people wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked out loud.
Liang Dong spoke first and said, "Hero, let me tell you a bad truth, don't be angry!" You see, you are going to be wanted by the county for this trouble, let alone buying slaves, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the city, and it's useless for me to stay here, so it's better to ......"
"Want to go back?" Xu Wenshan asked.
"Yes, yes......" Liang Dong nodded hurriedly.
Xu Wenshan asked the fat man again: "You also want to go back?" ”
Unexpectedly, Pang Xing said solemnly: "No, I came to ask you to let me follow you." ”
Liang Dong was dumbfounded, and said to Pang Xing with his mouth: This is different from what he said!
Pang Xing continued to speak solemnly: "I see that you treat prisoners and wounded soldiers well, and all of your subordinates are strong in martial arts, and I am impressed by your noble demeanor, please let me follow you!" Even from the smallest creeps! ”
Xu Wenshan glanced at Pang Xing and smiled: "I didn't expect you kid to be quite smart." ”
The fat man smiled embarrassedly: "Don't dare to be a ......"
Liang Dong wondered alone, not knowing what kind of trouble this was.
Xu Wenshan said to Liang Dong: "This fat man already understands, but you still don't understand?" ”
Pang Xing said modestly: "I don't understand either, I just guessed, guessed." ”
Liang Dong finally couldn't help it: "What are you talking about?" ”
Xu Wenshan asked the soldiers in Luhegou to rest and said, "Just take this opportunity to have a military meeting and explain my thoughts clearly." ”
Everyone fell silent, and some soldiers wondered how two captives could also attend the meeting. Pang Xing and Liang Dong were wondering, how could these soldiers also participate in the meeting?
After Xu Wenshan spoke, all the restlessness stopped: "After this battle, Cai Guo will definitely mobilize enough troops to encircle and suppress our stronghold." ”
A soldier next to him said: "The chief and squad leader are both marksmen, and we can kill as many as they come." ”
Everyone agreed, but Xu Wenshan shook his head and said: "One arrow can only kill one person, we only have more than 30 people, and the other party has hundreds or thousands of people, even if each of us misses a hundred times, we can't beat them." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers fell silent, they did not understand why the chief said such a discouraged word, and their morale was greatly frustrated.
Xu Wenshan smiled and said: "Saying this is not to say that we can't fight, but that we have to learn how to fight and use the right way to fight." ”
"So what's the right way to do it?"
"Two words," Xu Wenshan said, "guerrilla." ”
"Guerrilla?" Everyone was silently reciting this new word in their mouths, thinking in their hearts, but they could not understand what it meant.
Xu Wenshan said: "We are like a small fish, and in front of us is an incomparably large fish, it is impossible to swallow this fish." The big fish is big, but it's also bulky, and we can take advantage of our flexibility to get into the places where the big fish can't see, attack its weak parts, take a bite and change places, and go around with the big fish. ”
Li Dazhuang and Lei Laohu both understood it, it was like the last time they went to burn down the bandits' camp. Despite their small numbers, they subverted the bandits. If it weren't for the enemy's cavalry, they could even retreat with their whole body.
But Li Dazhuang still raised his hand and said worriedly: "But this is not a long-term solution, if the enemy really guards it to the death, we will have no chance to take advantage of it sooner or later." ”
Xu Wenshan said: "That's right. But there's a catch: we don't need to fight the enemy to the death, we don't need to kill the big fish, we just need to fight until they are willing to recruit us. ”
Speaking of which, the soldiers in Luhegou still didn't understand, but Liang Dong on the side had already suddenly realized: Xu Wenshan didn't attack Cai Guo's army on impulse, he had thought about it from the beginning, and his goal was to be recruited by Cai Guo.
