Speaking of the march of the army in ancient times, unless it was a team of full cavalry, under normal circumstances, it could walk a distance of forty or fifty miles every day.

Even if it is a rapid march, abandoning useless baggage and hurrying, the limit is only a hundred miles a day.

The condition of the roads along the way, the transportation of the baggage, and the timely and detailed information given by the scouts all affect the speed of the army.

Therefore, Hong Zhan led his troops all the way to hurry.

Day and night, the journey of nearly 300 miles was completed in more than two days, and the army of thieves was almost paralyzed, so that they could not cope with the attacks of the anti-thieves.

Failure is also a natural meaning!

Let's talk about Na Jia Cong and his party.

Since leaving the camp at noon, Jia Cong's army has only walked for twenty or thirty miles, and it has just left the territory of Shenjing, and the sky has already darkened.

Just thinking that the anti-thieves in Bazhou were rampant, Emperor Chengde was urging him very urgently, and the moonlight was as bright as day in the past few days, Jia Cong led the army to walk for an extra while.

It was not until the moon was on the branches that he ordered the army to camp and rest.

So.

The sun and the moon rotated, and three days passed in a flash.

More than 200 miles away, he was gradually left behind in the army's wind and food and sleeping.

this day.

The army came to the territory of Bazhou.

Standing on the edge of a village in ruins.

Jia Cong was silent.

The so-called "poor" people who rebelled because they couldn't survive have now become one of the reasons why others can't survive.

Before these rebels succeeded, they couldn't wait to be the master.

The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon!

"This is the handiwork of the 'rebels'?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, He Nan couldn't help but say: "Isn't this kind of behavior more hateful and vicious than those corrupt officials and corrupt officials?" At most, corrupt officials will force you to sell yourself into slavery.

The 'rebels' are asking for the lives of these people! ”

He Nanjue was a little incredulous.

You must know that there are many people in the Beijing camp who joined the army because they couldn't survive the disaster year, but even if these people almost starved to death, they were just selling themselves in the army and thinking about eating together.

I never had the idea of stealing and robbing in my heart, but what about those "rebels"?

Since the day of the rebellion, it has only been about half a month, and they have been able to make up their minds and aim their butcher knives at these poor people.

How did they become like this?

Jia Cong sighed.

Chao He Nandao: "Although the positions are different, the merits and demerits of a person are different. The so-called enemy of the other and my hero is this truth.

But as human nature, put there, the thieves can raise the butcher's knife to these innocent people at the bottom, indicating that they are no different from beasts!

”

There was a pause.

Jia Cong said again: "The thieves themselves are a plate of loose sand, even if they break through Bazhou City, what can they do if they grab the food for the army?" Where can people be controlled by horses when they eat what they chew?

In addition, there is no moderation, and after these thieves have completely finished Bazhou City, burning, killing and looting will naturally become the norm! ”

After the rebellion, those people are no longer people, they are now thieves!

This group of people, no, this group of anti-thieves, is now no different from northern barbarians like Tatarvarat!

After this time.

Jia Cong's last trace of mercy for those "helpless" rebel people also disappeared without a trace.

……

At noon on this day.

The army set up camp more than thirty miles away from Bazhou City.

Jia Cong first scattered all the sentries under his hands, and then ordered the army to bury the pot to cook and recuperate.

Not much.

"Report!"

"General, more than ten miles to the southeast, there are traces of anti-thieves!"

"How many centaurs?"

"There are about 500 soldiers and horses against the thieves, and depending on the destination, it should be a town in the southeast."

"Five hundred?"

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but immediately reacted, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that these thieves are kind enough to send us some merits in advance." ”

After speaking.

Jia Cong immediately ordered the sentry, "Quickly go and spy again, and determine the location and number of rebels at any time!" ”

Then, he ordered He Dongdao beside him: "You go and order the 1,000 cavalry of the Jianrui battalion, and hurry to the town in the southeast, and be sure to stop the thieves from killing again!" ”

"Yes!"

He Dong took the order and left.

He Nan next to him saw He Dong leaving, and hurriedly followed.

…………

In the evening.

On a hill outside the city of Bazhou.

Jia Cong held a clairvoyant mirror and was observing the movements of the thieves on the city wall in front of him.

on the city walls.

The anti-thieves are patrolling the law as they like, you come and go, there is no law to the mess, and there are even some anti-thieves, holding the roast chicken from nowhere, leaning against the female wall, and gnawing on it from time to time.

That's called a leisurely ......

Where's the appearance of a patrol like this?

Seeing this, Jia Cong was a little incredulous, the soldiers and horses of the Tongzhou battalion led by Hong Zhan, the former commander of the right capital of the army, were defeated by this group of chaotic thieves?

"Third master, like them, it's really ......"

He Xi and He Bei next to them couldn't help but smack their slaps twice, facing the extremely rotten military discipline of the thieves, they really didn't know how to describe it.

Jia Cong's heart also relaxed.

Originally, I thought that my own family had brought a firearms battalion over, and there was enough ammunition on him, and at that time, he would set up artillery and bombard him for half an hour, what city could not be taken?

At this moment, I saw the chaos of the thieves on the city wall.

Jia Cong even felt that he didn't need to go out of the firearms battalion, just with the 2,000 Jianrui battalion, it was almost enough!

Yin said with a smile: "Half a month ago, they were unarmed farmers, but now they can know that it is good to arrange soldiers to patrol day and night!" ”

He Xi and He Bei thought about it, but it's not!

"The anti-thieves are negligent, they are giving us a chance."

Jia Cong said: "Let's go back for the time being, wait for He Dong and He Nan to first exterminate the thieves who went to the town to loot supplies, and then with their clothes, maybe they can deceive the gate of Bazhou City!" ”

……

said that Jia Cong and his party returned to the camp.

On the way, he Dong and He Nan had led the troops to suppress the thieves and returned, and more than 100 prisoners were tied with long ropes, and there were two teams of cavalry accompanying them.

Jia Cong saw it and said with a smile: "This is just right, there is someone who calls for us at night!" ”

He Dong was puzzled: "What kind of person is calling the door?" ”

So Hossi told Jia Cong about what he had seen earlier.

He Dong couldn't help laughing and said: "The third master has a very good plan, the anti-thieves have not eaten meat for a long time, so they are all blind at night, we just need to change into the dress of anti-thieves, and then pick a few obedient ones from the captives to call for us, so that Bazhou City can be easily taken!" ”

"Tell me to go down, tell the army to rest first, and wait until night falls, and then sneak to the vicinity of Bazhou City."

Jia Cong said: "In addition, pick five hundred good players from the Xiao cavalry camp, all of them change into the clothes of anti-thieves, and go to the city of Bazhou to call the door during the two watches, as long as you hold it for a while, the cavalry of the Jianrui battalion in the rear will immediately rush into the city!" ”
