Chapter 184: The Shushan Bandits surrendered
"The eldest prince is angry, angry."
When the guard heard this, he was suddenly shocked, and while apologizing to Ruicheng, he shouted to the guards around him and asked them to open the city gate.
"Count you as acquaintances!"
In the guard's place, Rui Cheng finally regained a sense of superiority, looked at the busy defenders in the city, and said disdainfully. Ignoring the fact that he is now cheating with a group of unknown people.
When the city gate opened a small crack, Gan Ning took Rui Cheng to enter first, Chu Tian and Zheng He followed, and Wang Seng led more than 50 elite divisions to cut off their tails at the end.
Shannan Kingdom is only a male country, although Rui Cheng is the eldest son of Shannan Kingdom, it is impossible to have hundreds or thousands of guards. Therefore, Chu Tian and the others only selected some elites to follow, and the rest of the soldiers and horses hid in the dense forest not far from Shannan County by night.
And after the more than 50 people entered the city, they went directly to the city gate, and the guard general also knew the character of his own prince, and when he saw the other party bringing people over, he thought that he must be abused by the other party today. But the official level crushed people to death, and he was such a small city gate guard, and he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. I could only sigh and step forward to greet him as if I was on the execution ground. At the same time, I silently hoped that this eldest prince would be able to raise his noble hand once.
However, just as he walked in front of Rui Cheng, he was just about to give a salute and ask for sin, only to feel a flash of knife light in front of him, and then he felt that the whole person seemed to roll and fly into the air, and vaguely saw a headless body kneeling on the ground.
It turned out that it was Na Gan Ning who pulled out the gold-level sea sword on his waist, and when the guard stepped forward to salute, he cut off the opponent's head with one sword. As blood gushed out and sprinkled Gan Ning's body, Ruicheng, who had always been pampered, was frightened and screamed and incontinent.
Touching the drops of blood on their faces, the guards were also startled by the sudden change, and hurriedly picked up their weapons and wanted to resist, but in a hurry, they were killed by fifty fifth-order elite soldiers under the command of Wang Seng Defense, and there was no room for them to fight back.
Before he could react to the soldiers and horses of Shannan Kingdom, Chu Tian directly took everyone to take the torches hanging on the city wall and set fire in the city, so as to attract a part of the Shannan army to fight the fire and reduce his own pressure.
Although Shannan Kingdom does not have a famous historical general, if it relies on the strength of the city wall, it will still be difficult to seize it with the soldiers and horses that Chutian has now. It's a pity that there is such a straw bag prince as Ruicheng in the country. Since the group entered the city, the defeat of Shannan Kingdom has become a foregone conclusion, and a new force will rise in the ruins of Shannan Kingdom.
……
"After half a month, the matter of the bandits in Qishan has finally come to an end."
Looking at the battle report sent from Qishan in his hand, Zhang Shuo showed a smile of relief. Leaned back and lay down on the Taishi chair.
"In less than a month, the Qishan bandits, who had a lot of momentum before, have been solved by the Yellow Army?" Gao Lishi on the side was a little incredulous when he heard this.
The composition of the bandits in this mountain is complex, including Sun Ru and the former generals of the East China Sea, the rebels of the Shi clan who rebelled against the policies and laws of the Qianguo, and a large number of remnants of the Huaiyi Party. At its peak, the number of troops was no less than 50,000.
Since the beginning of the month, Huang Zhong was ordered by Zhang Shuo to lead the Huai Barbarian Army to defeat the bandits in Shushan. The bandits, who had begun to rebel against the junta, were devastated.
With the assistance of a group of generals, Huang Zhong led the 3,000 sixth-order elite soldiers deep into Qushan in the first battle, and caught the Qushan bandits by surprise.
In the melee, Li Kui, who had just been promoted to the commander of the Fourth Division of the Silver Dragon Army, killed Peng Xiaocai, the leader of the thieves (the leader of the rebel army at the end of the Sui Dynasty), with three axes; Xue Xian, the commander of the first division of the Huai Barbarian Army, even provoked Wei Heng, the former Pingguo general who ranked eighth in strength among the bandit leaders in Qushan Mountain (the leader of the Chinese side of "Water Margin") and Wu Sheng, the former Anguo general with the peak strength of the Forging Bone Realm (the leader of the Chinese side of "Water Margin"). and surrendered 3,000 men under the command of the two.
When Huang Zhong saw the great victory in his first battle, he immediately decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely defeated this group of thieves who posed a great threat to the Qianguo in one go. Under the frantic pursuit of the Huai Barbarian Army, the Qishan bandits were beaten all the way to lose their armor and run around in their home field.
Jiongmu, the former Le'an general who was elected as the commander of the anti-cadre alliance by the leaders of the bandits in Qishan, saw that there was nothing to do, and immediately led his soldiers and horses to retreat towards the bandit camp in the depths of Qishan. After trying to regroup, he will compete with the cadres again.
However, at this time, the morale of the bandits, who had been beaten by the Huai Barbarian Army, collapsed, and the originally loosely organized team could not gather together for half a day. Dai Zong, the commander of the first division of the Longxiang Army, even took the opportunity to capture the bandit leader Jiang Yin (the leader of Fang La's command in "Water Margin"). Huang Zhong was also among the ten thousand troops, and shot Jiong's mother with one arrow, who was desperately gathering bandits.
Since then, the Qishan bandits have fled far into the mountains, and although there are still sporadic guerrilla sneak attacks, they dare not have other large-scale actions.
Although Huang Zhong subsequently organized several waves of soldiers and horses to go deep into the mountain, he was never able to find the nest of those bandits. also because of the snakes, insects, rats, ants and miasma in the deep mountains, nearly 100 Huai Barbarian soldiers were damaged. As a result, the anti-bandit operation entered a stalemate for a while.
Therefore, now that Gao Lishi heard Zhang Shuo say that the bandits in Qishan had been pacified, he couldn't help but be a little curious. It stands to reason that the grain and grass of those thieves will not run out so quickly, could it be that Huang Zhong organized another search of the mountain and found the traces of the other party?
"In the first battle of the Huai Barbarian Army, didn't Han Sheng shoot the bandit leader Jiongmu. As soon as Jiong's mother died, the position of leader was vacant, and Wang Ying stood out from the remaining leaders and became the new leader of the bandits in Qishan.
Wang Ying was born with a short figure, but he was a demon in color. When he was the leader, he was still restrained, and he was just molesting the family members of the bandits. Now that he has become the leader, he has become even more violent, insulting the wives and daughters of many minions and even small leaders, and some of them who are stubborn and disobedient have been directly killed by him. Because of this incident, it even triggered a fire fight between Wang Ying's department and the leader of the thieves, Lu Gongxian (the leader of the rebel army at the end of the Sui Dynasty).
In the end, under the persuasion of the strangers. Wang Ying was forced to send someone to apologize and send a large number of armor and materials to suppress the matter. Seeing Gao Lishi's inquiry, Zhang Shuo did not sell Guanzi, and immediately told the situation inside the bandits in Qishan.
In this way, the robbers will inevitably be panicked and turn away from morality. The day of defeat is not far off. ”
"What Gao Qing said is not bad!"
Zhang Shuo nodded with a smile and said, "Although this matter has barely subsided, it has also exacerbated all kinds of contradictions between the bandits. The aliens' bias towards Wang Ying also made the big and small leaders who were originally willing to accept their coordination and trust them no longer trust them.
The night before yesterday, Lu Gongxian and the bandit leader Han Bolong booby-trapped Wang Ying. After slaughtering and tying up a large number of strangers who were unwilling to surrender, he led 8,000 bandits and handed over a letter of surrender to Huang Hansheng. ”
