Chapter 107: A Small Victory
Five days later......
Chagu was inspecting the defense of the camp, and as the general of the vanguard army assigned by Ke Wushu, Chagu knew what his mission was, and he did not dare to relax in this regard.
Huang Zhang's analysis is correct, Chagu is one of the few barbarians who is cautious and takes every step of the way.
Compared with the wildness and recklessness of the barbarians, Chagu's temperament is not likable, on the contrary, it is quite despised among the barbarians.
But Ke Wushu can be used by others, this time let Chagu be the vanguard, and there is also a lot of opposition among the barbarian generals, but Ke Wushu is able to override public opinion, and personally name Chagu to lead the troops, he will definitely not live up to Ke Wushu's trust.
After Ke Wushu led the barbarian army to take Wucheng, he had obtained the information of the entire Tianfu County, but only the land of Xiaocang Mountain was blank, except for Tianjiabao, which marked a key point on the map, it was some scattered villages and towns, as for the information of Xiaocang Mountain, it was completely zero, but it was marked that there were many bandits in Xiaocang Mountain, and it was not easy to travel.
Ke Wushu's strategic intentions have long been told to Chagu, and he also knows that he has only one purpose in serving as the vanguard this time, which is to explore the reality of the Su State army and clear possible obstacles for the upcoming Ke Wushu.
Chagu had already learned through the spies that there were a large number of Su troops in Tianjiabao, so he stationed the army at Shizhudui.
Looking at the large stone pillars lying on both sides of the road, although Chagu was curious about who was so bored to put so many pillars on both sides of the road, he also found that this place happened to be a safe distance to Tianjiabao.
If a large number of troops were dispatched from Tianjiabao's side, he would be able to receive them immediately and retreat calmly.
Using this location as a base, you can also radiate information to the surrounding area.
"Report! A large number of Su troops are approaching! "A guard has come to report it.
It took five days for Huang Zhang to take action.
When Chagu heard this, the secret Su army came so slowly, he had been in Xiaocang Mountain for so long, and now the Su army came over!
"How many are there?"
"Less than 10,000!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, another guard came running in a panic.
"Report! A mile away, the Su army is encamped! ”
"What?"
Chagu still thinks he heard it wrong, a mile? Is that the gate of the village? Who is so bold? Not afraid of death?
When Chagu led the troops out of the camp, he saw a group not far away who was erecting a wooden fence and starting to set up camp.
When Chagu saw it, the blood of the barbarians immediately surged into his heart.
"Look for death! Come on, order all the people, and kill them with me! ”
After Chagu finished speaking, he angrily led people to the outside of the camp.
He had never seen such an arrogant Su army, and he dared to build a camp in front of them, really when his barbarian army was paper-paste?
In a short time, the vanguard army was fully equipped.
The Barbarian Vanguard is different from the Barbarian squad that Huang Zhang encountered before.
The barbarian squad uses wooden sticks and wears leather, which looks more like savages, but these vanguard soldiers in front of them are all strong men with long knives and military uniforms, and their uniform clothes look too powerful and domineering.
When he saw the barbarian army in action, Huang Zhang understood why Sunan's troops were defeated so quickly.
This is only the vanguard, and the psychological pressure on him is so great, if it is the main force of tens of thousands of barbarians, then it feels different.
Huang Zhang also stopped everyone at the first time when he saw the barbarian army's movement and quickly retreated to the rear.
That's right, the reason why he made these provocative moves was to lure the barbarians out of the barracks.
By the time Chagu led the vanguard army to rush over, Huang Zhang had already retreated with the Northwest Army.
Chagu, who felt that he had been tricked, looked at the retreating Huang Zhang, and his anger rose.
"Chase!"
With an order, Chagu took the lead in rushing out.
As a barbarian, he couldn't bear to be played with like this by a cowardly Suguo!
However, Chagu had just chased out two or three miles when he suddenly stopped.
"Stop!"
A stop word, the barbarians who were frantically pursuing behind heard it, and they couldn't stop it, but they were trampled by the people behind, and for a while the barbarian troops began to be chaotic.
"Chagu Cave Master, you're about to catch up with the Su army, why stop?" The brute generals in the back began to complain.
They complained not only because of the chaos caused by this stoppage to the troops, but also because the ducks flew to their mouths, which did not make this group of barbarians distressed.
Without war exploits, what will they exchange for slaves and land in the future?
Chagu motioned for them to look at both sides of the official road.
Chagu was observing in the process of chasing just now, which can be regarded as making him find a trace of strangeness.
"The wind is blowing from the south now, but when you look at the woods on both sides, why do you want to shake from side to side?"
Hearing Chagu say this, the barbarians around him immediately reacted.
There has been no wind these days, but there is wind today, but it only blows from the south, but the woods of the mountains and forests on both sides are shaking everywhere, which is not like a trace of wind blowing!
"Cave Master! There is an ambush? A barbarian shouted.
Chagu reacted immediately, and hurriedly shouted to the barbarians behind: "Withdraw!" Back to camp! ”
The barbarian's voice is naturally very loud, and after Chagu shouted, the surrounding barbarians also shouted out, this momentum, those who don't know think they are charging.
Huang Zhang, who was retreating, heard the command from the barbarians, and immediately turned his gun and commanded the soldiers of the Northwest Army to start firing back.
At this time, the offensive and defensive situation was changed, and the brute soldiers in the rear did not know what was happening in front, only that the front was shouting retreat.
And the barbarian army in front saw that the Su army that they were chasing and killing had come back.
They were originally enthusiastic, but now they are terrified.
They also didn't know why the Chagu Cave Master shouted to retreat, but since the other party dared to kill back, it meant that they must have relied on it.
Chagu looked at Huang Zhang, who was chasing and killing, and said secretly.
If he had reacted a little slower, he would have been dumpled by the Su army's tricks now.
If you want to blame, you can only blame him for being too anxious before, and after hearing that the Su army sent someone over, he didn't send spies to explore both sides as soon as possible, which almost caused a big disaster.
The topography of Xiaocang Mountain is like this, as soon as you enter the Xiaocang Mountain area, most of the official roads on both sides are high mountains, only the Tianjiabao area is the most fertile and flat in the whole Xiaocang Mountain.
That's why the Korvushu sent the Vanguard Army over.
Under the pursuit of the Northwest Army, the barbarian army staggered all the way back to the camp, at this time, some of the scattered barbarians who were unsteady on the road and fell, or walked slowly, or were confused by the chaotic instructions, had been harvested by the Northwest Army.
After all the barbarian troops entered the camp, Huang Zhang began to command the soldiers of the Northwest Army to continue to camp a mile away.
Looking at the smiling faces of the soldiers of the Northwest Army, Huang Zhang knew that today's small victory had shown everyone's confidence.
Previously, because Wu Shanhui had been avoiding the war, the morale of the entire Pingban Army was relatively low, even the Northwest Army he had just obtained was still the same.
The barbarian army almost effortlessly took most of Sunan, and the fierce reputation of the barbarian army made many soldiers start to have a fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Although it did not break out under the suppression of military orders, if it was not handled well, I am afraid that the morale would collapse like a landslide.
Today's victory seems to be a small victory, but in fact, it is precious in the hearts of this group of soldiers!
