Chapter 365: The Dust Settles
What is the emphasis on marching and fighting?
One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.
The ancients made this very clear.
For any general, the most perfect combat state is to sweep away the leaves in the autumn wind, and a charge will rush the opponent's army to pieces.
As soon as this army was dispersed, it was no longer possible to organize an effective means of counterattack, and all that remained was a one-sided slaughter!
Can... How easy is it to crush the enemy in one go?
Unless the level of generals on both sides, the military strength is very different, to the point where it is incomparable.
But there are often not many such cases.
More generally, they are evenly matched.
Like three thousand against one thousand two, it is already an advantage.
Yan Hai still couldn't do it in one go, sweeping away Gu Beichuan and the others.
Then Gu Beichuan and the others, with only one heart of blood and bravery, how could they defeat Yan Hai and launch an iron wall composed of 3,000 people?
However, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.
As time passed, the people around Gu Beichuan fell one after another, and the sergeants became more and more sober.
The fierce killing energy that was not afraid of death gradually faded.
When Yan Hai saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately knew that it was time to fight back!
With only 1,200 people supporting up to now, this Gu Beichuan is enough to be proud of himself!
I saw it standing with a long body, like a victorious general, waving a banner and giving orders: "Change formation!" ”
"Turn the fish scale array into a spear array, rush into the enemy formation, and kill it clean!"
Yan Hai's eyes were changing, as if he had seen Gu Beichuan and the others fleeing under his command.
The next moment, however, he saw his own body.
To be exact, his own headless body!
Then, the consciousness came to an abrupt halt and dissipated.
Behind him, Li Dongbi, who was holding a flame long knife, stood with a long body in his eyes, with a sense of relief in his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, the other party thought that the victory was in his hands and took the initiative to expose the identity of the commander, he really couldn't find it.
Li Dongbi picked up the head of the person who rolled to the ground, raised it high, and then sank into the dantian angrily, and shouted loudly: "You and the first general have been awarded, if you don't descend at this time, when will you wait!" ”
At the same time, an army suddenly came out of the dense forest, like an arrow, advancing little by little from the weakest point of Yan Hai's army, pointing straight to the heart!
Although this army is elite, its number is extremely small, and it stands to reason that as long as the opponent continues to change formations and defend, I am afraid that it will not be able to raise any waves.
But at this moment and then, the general was beheaded by the other party in front of him.
Coupled with the appearance of enemy reinforcements, although the number is a little small, at this time, it is tantamount to the last straw that crushes the camel, so how can they not panic?
And when this person panics, he will do things that need to be substandard, and the army is even more so!
The once neat military formation became chaotic, and the tightly knit defenses became cracked.
Gu Beichuan took a look and knew that the time had come to decide the winner!
Then he let out a long howl, and his true anger skyrocketed!
The body changed seven times in the air, and each time it changed, a sword light came out of the sky, killing several people!
Seven times in a row, dozens of corpses have fallen behind him, and blood is pouring down!
Several sergeants beside him were naturally greatly encouraged when they saw this scene!
For a while, morale was high!
The next battle is much simpler, and it can be easily summed up in one sentence: he has exhausted me, so he will overcome it!
The 1,200 people on Gu Beichuan's side, although they did not have a single drum, but the spirit of blood and courage was at least there all the time, and at this time, reinforcements arrived, and naturally their morale was high, and they chased after the enemy army and cut it indiscriminately.
On the other hand, the enemy army thought that the time had come to counterattack, but whoever admits to a sudden change will not only not be able to counterattack, but will be pressed and beaten, and their morale will plummet.
After a few hours, the sky was cloudy.
There was a hint of fish belly white on the horizon, and some cold white sunlight shone on the corpses in the morning, which made people quite sick to their stomachs.
The whole realm is red, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a river of blood.
If this layer of red wants to disappear, it will take ten days and half a month to say the least.
Gu Beichuan relied on 1,200 people, plus the 200 people who Li Dongbi came out of the middle of the road, and the 100 people who hid in the dense forest and pretended to be enemy soldiers, and they captured 1,000 enemy soldiers!
This record, not to mention civilian officials, is even some senior military attachés, but I am afraid that it will be beyond the reach of the dust.
But... The remaining 2,000 enemy troops were all killed.
It's not that Gu Beichuan doesn't surrender, but the other party is bent on death!
Such an army and such a military quality made Gu Beichuan feel awe-inspiring.
Now he can basically be sure that this army was trained by King Yuan!
And he trained such an army in private, his heart can be punished!
It's a pity that I couldn't get full evidence and couldn't identify him.
One can only hope that these captured soldiers will summon some useful information.
After cleaning up the battlefield, it was almost noon.
Gu Beichuan led more than 1,000 sergeants into Yashan County, on the one hand, to recuperate, treat the wounded, and on the other hand, to give the soldiers who had fought for a long time a good meal.
After being full of wine and food, before Gu Beichuan could make the next move, the county magistrate of Yashan County came over and honestly explained the whole thing.
This group of people robbed grain and iron ore at the beginning, some of them were hidden in the granary, and some of them were the same as Gu Beichuan guessed, hiding in the homes of local farmers.
is the so-called cunning rabbit three holes, even if one is discovered, the other can do some more calculations, so as not to lose the whole game.
Subsequently, the county order also provided specific people who hid grain and iron tools, which undoubtedly helped Gu Beichuan and others save a big thing.
But... But he plucked himself clean.
Anyway, according to him, he was coerced by the two brothers Yan Shan and Yan Hai from beginning to end.
In order to save the lives of the people of a county, he had to do this.
Otherwise, they will slaughter the city!
Gu Beichuan sighed when he heard this, and while loudly reprimanding Yan Shan and Yan Hai for not being a son of man, he comforted the old county order.
But in my heart, I didn't believe a word.
The other party can set up an ambush at the county yakou and control the granary, if you want to say that there is no such thing as him as a county order, Gu Beichuan will not believe it.
But what does all this have to do with him?
The order he received was only to recover the grain and grass, and the rest, nothing else.
Such a mess is truthfully reported to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Wei Xiang.
When the time comes, this Yashan County order will naturally be cleaned up.
With the "active cooperation" of the Yashan County Order, the speed of finding food is much faster.
In just two days, all the lost food was recovered.
Gu Beichuan corrected the number and felt that he couldn't make a mistake, so he ordered Haosheng to rest and set off back to Qiandu tomorrow!
