Chapter 671: It's almost over
The forward battalion of the Northern Army has been in the mountains for ten days.
According to their previous arrangement of the commanders and horses along the marching route, every time they attacked a relatively large stockade, they would have commanders and soldiers and horses to respond, and as for the response, they actually captured the bandits back to the yamen for interrogation.
In the past ten days, more than 20 battles, large and small, have been fought, with an average of two battles a day. Captain Lu remembers that the highest time was four games a day. Four medium-sized stockades were broken, and tens of thousands of bandits stripped naked and lay on the ground shivering.
Captain Lu was actually worried at the time. That's tens of thousands, and they're only 300. If these 10,000 people would jump up and fight with them, all of them would have to give an account of all 300 of them. Of course, it is almost impossible for these four villages and 10,000 people to work together and everyone will not die.
But then hundreds of people jumped up and tried to run away.
However, without the time of half a pillar of incense, there was no need for Captain Lu's orders, and the three officers and men of the Northern Army who were specially guarding that direction met them from three directions, and one person killed seven or eight people, and this small disturbance was quelled, and then until several nearby commanders and soldiers and horses came to meet them as agreed, no one tried to escape. What they didn't know was that the three soldiers of the Northern Army held spears in their hands and calmly and coldly killed those who escaped, just like slaughtering pigs and dogs, and the scene made these tens of thousands of bandits feel terrified.
It's not a game that bandits often play, and it's not a desperate fight with other gangs. It's a kind of ruthlessness that is calm to the bones.
The spear is in their hands, just a tool. Every move and every style of theirs has only one purpose, to stop people, not to stop, to kill. It is to kill people, without the slightest hesitation or emotion. Not even high-spirited, only calm.
They had never seen this kind of formation, could they not be afraid, among the more than 100 people who fled, many of them were scared and peed their pants on the spot. You must know that when these people are powerful in the mountains, if they can't beat them, they will run with their heads in their hands, and once they escape, the enemy will not chase them at all. Admit it and let it go, but now it can't be cowardly, you have to kill, only lying on the ground and not moving is the only way to live.
Of course they were afraid.
The forward battalion came down for ten days, but not many people were killed. Most of the small villages passing by surrendered before they could fight. Only some big stockades were frightened by the northern army that suddenly descended from the sky, and then they wanted to arrange for the master to escape while arranging to guard the stockade and help the master or something. Of course, in the end, there is no escape.
That evening they rested in a newly built village, and after dinner they chatted together.
Xiaohu said, what kind of war are we in the mountains and forests, and we can still sleep on such a big and soft bed, I doubt that this kind of bed will become soft with the waist after sleeping for a month, and the spear that still carries a fart. 315 Chinese Network
Haozi said that it is normal for the bandit leaders to enjoy themselves, otherwise they will be the leaders of the bandits.
Lu said, this kind of bed our own guns will definitely come in handy, have you seen before, the dozens of women who were taken away by the command of the soldiers and horses are all so beautiful, and they also complained about us, saying that we were nosy, saying that they came here on their own initiative, not taken captive. It's a fucking joke.
Xiaohu thought about it and said seriously, those women have been locked up here for too long, more than five years, they are even used to living here, and they don't have to work here, as long as they serve the leaders well, if they go home, they still have to work and beg for a living, how can they be comfortable eating and drinking here. People, they are too easily affected by good days, and once they fall into good times, danger will come. We need to be careful not to fall into this kind of crisis as well.
"Xiaohu has a point. But in my opinion, as long as you have something to hold on to in your heart, it will not be affected, and you will work hard to do things no matter where you are, and this kind of person will never think that the current life is comfortable, so it is a wrong life to ignore it in vain. Captain Lu passed by, interjected, and then walked away without stopping too long.
Captain Lu likes to walk in the crowd at night when everyone gathers in a heap, and he feels very relieved when he hears what everyone says. No one avoids him when he speaks, and it's the same when he's not talking to everyone. Therefore, he can often hear the sincere words of the soldiers, and this, as the general said, as a middle-level lieutenant, you must always know what the soldiers are thinking, if you break away from the soldiers, the soldiers will also be out of the battle formation, then the strength of our team will quickly weaken.
So whether it was when he was marching and fighting or when he was in the camp in peacetime, he had to listen to the soldiers chatting every day to go to sleep with peace of mind, and if he couldn't hear it for a day, he couldn't sleep well for a day.
After more than ten days of fighting, the soldiers were a little relaxed, because the opponent was too weak, they had been for a long, long time, and even some of them had never encountered such a weak opponent at all
So everyone is a little slack, they are not so vigilant when they patrol the night, and they are not so serious when they go out to explore the way. These lieutenants reminded me again and again, saying that I must cheer me up, otherwise I will give anyone who is absent-minded and will not be spared.
So far, no one has been seriously injured, and there are a few minor injuries, but they are all small injuries that cannot be counted as injuries, and they do not affect eating, drinking, sleeping, or fighting.
But in general, the forward battalion is the elite of the elite, except for those recruits who have just arrived a little proud, the veterans still have a high consciousness. Whoever dares to be careless will die, and the veterans are deeply convinced. These veterans will often tell the recruits not to be careless, never be careless, the recruits will say what they are afraid of, and the veterans sometimes say that they are in a hurry and will slap the recruits and say, you don't want to fucking live, I still want to live. The recruits will bow their heads and admit their mistakes, saying that I must be careful, I must not be careless...
Captain Lu returned to his room and took out the map to look at it for a while.
There are only a few days left before the trip is over. The 100,000 bandits have been exterminated, and only 10,000 or 20,000 remain, which is still seen from the information they got before, and how many people have already gotten the news and run away. It is more likely that there may not be a single battle for the remaining days, and the village they go to may be empty.
So far, everything is in the hands of Captain Lu, which is not bad, but it still can't be careless, after all, it hasn't really ended. Before the dust settles, you must not take it lightly.
