Chapter 1263: Rebels
readx;? Shangguan Xiu's words shocked Yamal's body. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Whoever did this, then he and his family would be the most honorable people in Douky, not only by the people, but also by the king.
This opportunity is too rare, if you can't seize it, I'm afraid that your intestines will regret it in the future. Not to mention that it is worth paying the heavy price of casualties, even if more than 20,000 people are put in, as long as the two princes can be successfully rescued, it is too worthwhile.
Just when Yamal weighed the pros and cons and his face changed, Shangguan Xiu slowly spoke: "Save the prince and support the prince to ascend the throne, and all of Du Ji's military power will be his." It would be disappointing if General Dixon could only see the interests of the 20,000 or so people in front of him, and I don't think General Dixon is qualified to cooperate with me. That's the end of today's talks. Morning, send off!" The last sentence, he said to Zhao Chen in wind language.
Zhao Chen immediately stepped forward, just made a gesture of invitation to Yamal, and before the words could be spoken, Yamal couldn't wait to wave his hand and said: "His Royal Highness Guogong has misunderstood the meaning of Xia, it is definitely not that he does not want to rescue His Royal Highness the Prince, let alone the more than 20,000 soldiers under his hands." Speaking of this, he took a deep breath, bowed down and said, "In order to save the prince, I will not give up on the ground in my liver and brain." From now on, the soldiers of our department will completely obey the dispatch of His Highness!"
The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised and said, "Okay, I really didn't see the wrong person." ”
As Shangguan Xiu said, the merit of saving the driver, the merit of supporting, is too great, in the face of such an opportunity, the rebels have to squeeze forward desperately even if they break their heads, the key problem is that they are too far away, and the closest to Haji is Yamal.
Long Ying was killed, which would definitely cause an uproar within the Ningnan army, and the people of Ningnan would definitely realize that the location where the prince was hiding might be leaked, and they would transfer him as soon as possible, so Shangguan Xiu couldn't wait for the other rebels to come to Haji after a long journey, so he could only use the power of Yamal to rescue the two princes nearby.
If Yamal had no ambition and was short-sighted, and refused to sacrifice his men to attack the Haji defense line, things would be really troublesome for Shangguan Xiu. Fortunately, Yamal didn't just want to be the leader of the 20,000 rebels, he also wanted to go down in history and make this immortal feat.
Without further ado, the three of Yamal stayed at the Karl Casino that night, and at dawn the next day, Shangguan Xiu took Zhao Chen and the others and Yamal out of the city, left Haji, and went to Anadyr Mountain near Haji, where the rebels were hiding. q8zc
As for Zhou Yan, he was left in the city by Shangguan Xiu to recuperate from his injuries.
Zhou Yan and the others were too seriously injured to participate in the operation, and they were all wanted by the people of Ningnan, and the portraits were posted everywhere, and it was basically impossible to get out of the city with Shangguan Xiu and others.
In the morning of the same day, Shangguan Xiu and others entered Anadyr Mountain, and at noon, they arrived at the camp of the rebels.
The camp is very hidden, located between the mountains and forests, there is no camp defense to speak of, each tent is covered with patches of all sizes, and then look at the clothes on the people's bodies, one by one in tattered clothes, can wear a pair of intact shoes, basically are officers.
The conditions of the rebels can be described as extremely poor, and a person's daily ration is a small piece of bread. Under such conditions, it is estimated that there is no need for the Ningnan people to send troops to encircle and suppress, and after a long time, they themselves will gradually disappear in the mountains and forests.
There were no weapons and ammunition, no supplies, no food and salaries, and everything the army needed was either created by themselves or robbed.
This is the environment in which the rebels live, and the Yamal section is not an exception, and the rebels in other regions are basically facing this dilemma.
The rebels can still exist, and more than 20,000 people can still unite together, without the dissipation of collapse, relying on the belief in the country, and relying on the spirit of resistance born in the bones of the Dooky people.
When Yamal returned to the camp with the strangers, he immediately attracted the curiosity and onlookers of the rebels, many of whom emerged from their tents and stood on both sides of the road, looking out on their feet.
To Shangguan Xiu's surprise, there were still four or five-year-old children in the rebel army, looking at Shangguan Xiu, Zhao Chen and others riding tall horses, the children's excited horses ran back and forth on both sides.
A boy who looked to be about four years old suddenly fell in front of Shangguan Xiu's horse while running, and at this time the horse's front hooves had been lifted and was about to step down, when everyone around saw this, they were startled, and it was too late to step forward to stop it.
Shangguan Xiu sat on the horse, waved his hand downward, and a strong wind suddenly blew out, holding up the child who fell to the ground incredibly, and the child's body was suspended in the air, moving sideways more than half a meter away, and then slowly fell to the ground.
After Shangguan Xiu rode over, the boy shouted and jumped excitedly on the ground: "Fly, fly! I just flew up—"
The child's excited cry made everyone around him wake up like a dream, looking at the safe and sound and bouncing child, people felt like they were dreaming, looking at Shangguan Xiu's eyes, curiosity and a little more awe.
Yamal urged him forward, his face was full of amazement, and he was about to open his mouth to praise, Shangguan Xiu turned his head to look at him and asked, "Among General Dixon's subordinates, there are still children?"
Hearing this, Yamal's old face turned red, coughed dryly twice, and said in a low voice: "Let Your Highness see and laugh." ”
Shangguan Xiu originally thought that the more than 20,000 rebels under Yamal were all combatable soldiers, but now that it looks like this, it is not the case at all, among the more than 20,000 people, including the families of the rebels, how many people can really fight, Shangguan Xiu has no bottom in his heart.
In front of a tent in the middle of the camp stood a large group of officers, all of whom were Yamal's men.
Yamal took the lead in dismounting and made an inviting gesture to Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen.
Even Yamal's tent was dilapidated inside and out, no different from the others.
After entering the camp, the rebels led by Yamal sat on the right, and Shangguan Xiu, Zhao Chen and others sat on the left. Yamal did not hide Shangguan Xiu's identity and intentions, and introduced it to his subordinates directly.
Hearing that the young man in front of him was Shangguan Xiu, and their operation this time was to rescue the two princes, people were all surprised and delighted.
Not long after, two young Dookie girls walked in and handed each of them a cup of hot tea. Miss Du Ji, who handed tea to Shangguan Xiu, said instead after Shangguan Xiu took the teacup: "Thank you." ”
Shangguan Xiu looked at her puzzled, and asked with a smile, "What did the girl thank me?"
"His Royal Highness Xie just saved Jeff, he is my younger brother. ”
"Jeff?"
"It's the child who fell in front of His Highness's horse just now. ”
"Oh. Shangguan Xiu realized that she was the child's sister. He smiled indifferently and said, "It's just a gesture, the girl doesn't have to be polite." ”
In private, Shangguan Xiu is indeed a very easy-going person, completely different from him on the battlefield.
Seeing that Shangguan Xiu and this woman were talking happily, Yamal hurriedly said, "Isha, you stay by His Highness's side to serve." ”
"Yes, my lord!" The girl named Isha peeked at Shangguan Xiu, her cheeks were slightly red, she lowered her head in agreement, and knelt down beside Shangguan Xiu in an orderly manner.
Shangguan Xiu didn't care too much, he took a teacup and took a sip, which was as light as water and had no aroma of tea. He put the cup down and asked Yamal straight to the point, "How many soldiers can General Dixon draw from now?"
Yamal thought for a while, and Zhengse said: "Twenty thousand people can be transferred below!"
Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "What if you remove the old people and women and children?"
"This ......"
"How much?" he asked.
"This ...... Probably yes, about 15,000 people. ”
"Fifteen thousand. "This is a little more than Shangguan Xiu imagined.
Yamal thought that Shangguan Xiu felt that his troops were too small, and he said with a straight face: "Your Highness, in our place, the elderly, women, and children can all fight!"
Shangguan Xiu glanced at him and didn't answer.
In his concept, as long as men have not died, women should not be allowed to go to the battlefield, and as long as there are still young and strong, the elderly and children should not be allowed to go to the battlefield. He changed his words and asked, "Is there a map of the area around the royal family's mausoleum?"
"Yes!" said Yamal, who hurriedly agreed, and asked him to find him.
Soon, a dozen thick maps were brought over by soldiers. These are simple and crude hand-drawn maps, and the defense line around Haji is all in them. Yamal took one out of it and handed it to Shangguan Xiu respectfully.
The latter took it and looked down closely, the map was roughly drawn, but some points were marked.
The Ningnan Army deployed in the vicinity of the royal mausoleum has a corps of the Duji Righteous Army, plus three battalions of the Ningnan Army, the Duji Righteous Army mainly guards the outer defense line of the mausoleum, and the Ningnan Army is stationed inside and outside the mausoleum.
A corps plus three battalions is 13,000 troops, which is not a lot of troops, but it is definitely a lot, and in terms of 15,000 rebels, the strength of the rebels is still superior.
Shangguan Xiu looked at the map carefully and asked casually, "The biggest battle your department has ever faced, how many enemy troops did you face?"
"This ......"
Yamal hesitated a little, not knowing whether to say or not, and one of his subordinates sitting next to him said with a smug expression, "We have fought against two thousand enemy troops!" But in the end, instead of winning, he was driven into Mount Anadel by two thousand enemy troops.
"How many kills?"
"Well, we don't know. ”
Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows, looked at Yamal, and asked, "Did you lose this battle?" I didn't even know how many enemies I killed, which could only mean that the battlefield after the battle was not cleaned up by them, and it could be deduced that they were beaten away by the enemy.
Yamal glared at his mouthy subordinates, and said with a smile to Shangguan Xiu: "At that time, the enemy army still had backup coming, and our army could not match the enemy, and when the battle was engaged, our army took the initiative to retreat. ”
Shangguan Xiu put down the map in his hand, the rebel army of more than 20,000 people couldn't even beat the Ningnan army and the rebel army of 2,000 people, and its combat power can be imagined.
He sighed softly, closed his eyes, and pondered speechlessly.
Yamal hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, we can fight this battle, ......"
Shangguan Xiu said in a deep voice: "This battle is not just a matter of being able to fight, nor can it be won, it must be resolved quickly, and where the two sides are fighting, they must immediately tear apart the enemy's defensive line!"
Otherwise, once the war drags on, all the nearby Ningnan troops will be attracted over, not to mention that they can't save the two Duki princes, I'm afraid that Yamal and the 20,000 or so people under him won't be able to escape.
