177, thief God!
Swallow County.
Wei Fang led the army to waive the flag, like a long dragon, quickly passing through the main road near the city wall of Yanjun, which made the Yanjun county guard a little confused.
You must know that he had already received an order from the Beizhou side early on, and knew that the Xu clan had sent a large army to stabilize the form of Yan County, and to wait for an opportunity to fight with the beggar army on the Pingyang County side, to see if there was a chance to recapture Pingyang County from the other party.
After all, Pingyang County, as the gateway to the Beizhou Basin, is too important, and the beggar army has always occupied Pingyang County, which is very uncomfortable for many wealthy families in Beizhou, like a fish bone stuck in their throats.
As long as the strength of the beggar army is enough, it can send a large army to attack the Beizhou Basin at any time and turn the basic situation of the major families upside down, which is something that the major wealthy families cannot tolerate.
However, at this moment, the county guard of Yan County did not have the slightest intention of stopping when he saw that the soldiers of the Xu family had no intention of stopping, and actually crossed Yan County directly and continued to go north.
Xu's meaning, he understood it at once.
The commander of the Xu clan did not plan to stay, station, or repair in Yan County, but planned to recover Pingyang County in one go.
"That seems a bit reckless."
The county guard of Yanjun made an evaluation.
He is quite supportive of the approach of the commander of the Xu family, and if he can seize Pingyang County, the gateway to the Beizhou Basin, he will approve of it with both hands and feet.
However, the beggar army occupying Pingyang County is no longer a cat or a dog, and the other party has played its own prestige through several battles, even compared with the elite of the Beizhou champion, it is not inferior.
And these Xu family soldiers, although they are also well-equipped, but according to his understanding, these family soldiers were just hunters, farmers, and craftsmen before, and they have not been trained long enough, and now they only barely have the appearance of an army, but if the combat effectiveness is concerned, I am afraid it will not be too high, such an army will attack an army that has gone through many bloody battles.
I'm afraid there will be no return.
Thinking of this, the county guard of Yanjun immediately sent someone to chase after him, be sure to persuade him!
……
……
The Xu army bypassed Yan County and pushed directly towards Pingyang County, in fact, according to Wei Fang's original plan, he also planned to be stationed in Yan County, using Yan County as a base to train these soldiers under him.
After all, these soldiers under his command are uneven, some have only trained for ten days, and now they can keep the formation undisordered, which is quite good, even if they really fight, these people can only fight with the wind, once defeated, I am afraid they will have to flee immediately.
Therefore, Wei Fang had to use Yan County as a base to gather here for a while and train soldiers.
Although Pingyang County is occupied by the beggar army, as long as he can take root here in Yan County, he can prevent the beggar army from going further into the Beizhou basin and not give them the opportunity to make a big mess.
That's enough!
It's just that the battle report from the front made Wei Fang suddenly reverie.
Pingyang Valley Road, in fact, is a relatively open valley, after passing through Yan County, continue to move along Pingyang Valley Road, you can smoothly reach Pingyang County, and this valley, particularly wide, according to the reason, as long as it is not particularly bad luck, there will be no such thing as a landslide, even if it is a landslide, it is impossible to wipe out the whole army.
But.
Judging from the battle report in his hand, the 2,000 cavalry sent by the beggar army were so unlucky, they had not yet fought against his Xu family soldiers, and they were directly wiped out by a disaster before they even walked out of Pingyang Valley Road.
If ordinary people see this battle report, they will only sigh secretly:
"The beggar army is so unlucky!"
But.
Wei Fang felt here that this was his own luck at work again, otherwise, how could the beggar army encounter such a small probability of natural disasters?
Even if you do, how many people have to survive, right?
The total annihilation of the army is really outrageous!
Therefore, after this incident, Wei Fang felt that he was quelling the civil unrest, and he might not fight a few decent battles, and perhaps, some off-the-field factors could help him win the victory.
If this is the case, these soldiers under his command who have not yet been fully trained will be useful, God has given luck, it is always okay to fight a good fight, and if you fight a lot of good fights, you can also get exercise, and when the time comes, you will slowly transform into a strong army.
In the final analysis, Wei Fang still underestimated how rebellious his luck was! Usually digging out some precious elixirs, treasures and visualization maps, in his opinion, it is already very good, but he didn't expect that when he came to the battlefield, he could still show bad luck to the other party, so that he always had the mandate of heaven, in this way, then this battle does not need to talk about any strategy, what art of war, what formation, just go recklessly.
Moreover, Wei Fang doesn't have to think about whether he can beat the other party, if he really can't beat him, then it's no problem, he doesn't have to think of a way, God will help him come up with a way to solve his difficulties.
Who made him the son of the Seven Fortunes?
Therefore, the Wei side immediately made a decisive decision not to camp in Yan County, but directly led the army into Pingyang Valley Road and killed Pingyang County.
……
……
Three days later.
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xu family came to Pingyang County and came to the city.
The Wei side immediately sent troops to make a siege posture, made a short contact, and found that the other party had no loopholes in defending the city, so he decisively withdrew his troops, retreated ten miles, and set up camp.
And after dark.
The direction of Pingyang County is shining with a raging fire, even if it is far away, Wei Fang can see it clearly, it turned out that the northwest side has been drought for many years, Ping'an County actually caught fire, plus there was a strong wind at night, the fire together, suddenly continuous, in a short time, the entire Pingyang County was burned to the ground by one-tenth, and the whole city was caught in flames.
This matter was not done by Wei Fang, although he also had internal responses in the city, but he had no contact at all.
But the city was on fire.
The fire was too big, countless people in the city ran for their lives, and wanted to leave the city to flee for their lives, but the beggar army couldn't stay anymore, so they decisively abandoned Pingyang County, opened the city gate, and fled north while it was dark.
Wei Fang seized this opportunity and immediately sent troops to catch up with the beggar army, and even collapsed the beggar army at once, and won a great victory.
Successfully recovered the county seat of Binh Duong!
……
……
Gupan Stone Ridge.
A hill that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, at this time, Zhang Shu, the leader of the beggar army, led a thousand elites to entrench here, and under the mountain, there are dense Xu family soldiers, who have surrounded all Panshi Ridge.
It is only a matter of time before the beggar army fails!
Zhang Shu stood on a tall stone, looked around, couldn't help sighing, feeling that he was at the end of his rope, he said to the generals under his command:
"This time, we lost.
"Unable to return to the sky!"
What he said was indeed right, this time the beggar army retreated too panicked because of the fire in Pingyang County, and the army's morale was already unstable, and it was chased and killed by Wei overnight.
This time, the elite of the beggar army, which had fought for hundreds of miles and was not inferior to the elite officers and troops in Beizhou, collapsed at night.
Once the army collapsed, even the elite soldiers did not have the slightest battle, and they were killed by the guys who had just formed the army of the Xu family, crying fathers and mothers, and the blades of the killings were all rolled up.
This time, the beggar army can be described as a big defeat.
Now, these beggar troops on the mountain are only a few tenths of what they were when the beggar army was victorious, and the others were either killed or surrendered, and some people took advantage of the chaos to flee into the mountains, these people, I am afraid that they will not come back, and it is estimated that they will secretly return to their hometowns.
It can be said that after this battle, the beggar army that declared that it would rise up will dissipate in the smoke and dust of history and cease to exist.
Not only that, now Panshiling is surrounded by the Xu family corps, and these people can be said to be unable to escape, nothing more than early death and late death, even if those Xu family soldiers are not in a hurry to attack, as long as they are surrounded by the mountain, these people will die of thirst and starvation in a few days.
If the soldiers of the Xu family were not afraid of damage and forcibly attacked, they would all die today, and their heads would be cut off as military merits!
"Alas, I'm not reconciled!
"I'm really not reconciled!!"
In fact, Zhang Shu is indeed very unwilling, you must know that the beggar army under his command has fought hundreds of miles, occupied several cities, and has been honed in blood and fire, and has also fought with those elite officers and soldiers in Beizhou, which is not inferior.
This failure, if he pulls all the tens of thousands of beggar troops outside the city, fights with the Xu family soldiers, and fights in a dignified manner, even if he really fails and is beaten by others, then he will admit it, it can only be said that the people are too strong, his beggar army is not strong enough, and he will become a king and defeat him, although he does not want to see that kind of result, he will admit it.
But what's going on now?
He felt that the defeat was simply outrageous!
First, two thousand cavalry were sent to harass the Xu army, trying to slow down the pace of the other party's march, but before the two thousand cavalry had not yet walked out of the Pingyang Valley Road, they encountered a once-in-a-century landslide, and what was even more outrageous was that none of the two thousand cavalry survived in this disaster, all of them were pressed under hundreds of tons of earth and stones, and none of them survived.
And the failure of the main force of the beggar army is even more outrageous.
When the Xu army came, Zhang Shu was also worried that the Xu family had an internal response in Pingyang County, and was worried that they would do something at night, so he made preparations early and strengthened his vigilance, but he didn't expect that because Ping'an County was too dry, there was a fire on this night, and there was a strong wind on this day, and the fire was immediately connected.
The beggar army had to retreat, if it didn't take advantage of this retreat, I am afraid that they would be burned alive in the city, and this retreat, Wei Fang seized the opportunity, chased and killed hundreds of miles overnight, and the beggar army that was directly killed collapsed, and he himself and some of his henchmen and generals were also blocked in Panshiling, so it failed.
How can Zhang Shu be willing?
You know, in order to train this army, I don't know how much effort he put in, but he failed in such a comical way.
"Alas, isn't it true that fortune is not in me?
"Otherwise, how can the other party win so easily!"
To be honest, at this time, Zhang Shu also muttered a little in his heart, he felt that since he entered Ping'an County, especially after facing the Xu family, the beggar army had no good luck, these two victories are clearly God helping the Xu family, and it is not human power!
Retracting his thoughts, Zhang Shu said to the generals under his command:
"This time we are defeated, the other party will definitely not let me go, but if you surrender, it is estimated that you will still have a chance to get your life, if the other party's generals are more generous, you people may not be able to get an official position, at this time, brothers want to live, go down the mountain and surrender by yourself, I will not stop you."
Now that the beggar army has failed, it is already a matter of time, there is really no need to fight to the death with the Xu army, it is useless to die, it is nothing more than to let everyone here die, and Zhang Shu can't ask everyone to do that, between life and death, there is a great terror, some people can die with pride, and some people want to live, if he really oppresses these people, he must fight with the Xu army, and then someone will inevitably be dissatisfied with him, secretly stab him, cut off his head, and surrender to the mountain by himself.
Now, Zhang Shu didn't have that kind of heart, he just wanted to let himself die with dignity, he decided to commit suicide for a while, and when his words fell, some generals moved one after another, just arched their hands towards him, and then took one or two henchmen and rushed down the mountain to surrender.
In the end, there was only one general left by Zhang Shu's side, who stayed by his side.
Zhang Shu looked at the sky silently, roared and said:
"Thief God, I'm not convinced!
"Why are you doing this to me?"
Poof!
Blood flowed out, and Zhang Shu killed himself with a knife.
……
After Zhang Shu died, the general looked at Zhang Shu's body, shook his head slightly, and said:
"General, you're right, our defeat this time is indeed too unjust, and the times are not good!"
He also thinks that the strength of the beggar army is very strong now, if it fights with the Xu army, even if it is defeated, it will not be as miserable as it is now, and it will be directly chased and killed by others for hundreds of miles, and the entire beggar army will not survive a single hundred, which is really miserable.
Moreover, thinking of the two accidents encountered by the beggar army, the general also felt that the beggar army seemed to have lost the mandate of heaven, to be honest, the beggar army at the beginning of the army, the war can be described as smooth sailing, although some people also died, but every battle must have results, conquer the city, conquer everything, victory, will boost the confidence of an army, the will of an army, is in the gradual victory has the current appearance.
However, since coming to Pingyang County, the fortune of the begging army seems to be gone, a landslide buried the precious 2,000 cavalry, and another fire, directly buried the begging army, so the current destiny is not in the beggar army, but in the other party's Xu army.
Thinking like this, the general waved his knife, cut off Zhang Shu's head, and ran away with his head.
This guy is a smart person, and he knows that if he just surrenders to the Xu clan bitterly, he will not be reused, but if he has the head of Zhang Shu, the leader of the beggar army, it will be different, no matter what, he can also get a half-official position.
