Chapter 1148: Ran and Run
Almost all the people who can run in this Xianfeng County have run away, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled who don't want to run and can't run are left.
Cui Shenji led the army and entered Xianfeng County.
The firecrackers are really powerful!
Only 300 people, after rushing into the camp of the Zezhou army, they killed them on their backs and fled in all directions.
"It's a pity that Wang Yun'er's little girl ran away." Zhang Zezheng sighed heavily.
"If you run, you will run, then Li Gui is the strongest general under Wang Mao, I am not surprised that he can rush out with Wang Yun'er." Cui Shenji said.
The Jizhou army won this battle easily, and it should not be too casual to win.
From the battle to the end of the battle, only half an hour passed, and the Jizhou army had almost no casualties.
It is not difficult to see from this that Wang Yun'er is a vase with little ability.
It's okay to let her be a daughter at home, and let her lead the troops to fight? Does she have the ability?
This time, Wang Yun'er was defeated, and Wang Gui was able to hold Wang Yun'er's handle.
It was only a matter of time before Wang Gyu completely controlled the whole of Zezhou.
And villains like Wang Gui are not qualified to fight with Qinghe Cui's family at all.
What else can he do but intrigue?
"Quickly count the population of the county." Cui Shenji said.
"Yes, I'll go."
There were only 10,000 or 20,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Xianfeng County, and all of them were gathered.
Cui Shenji glanced over, his brows furrowed.
There is not even a young man left?
If there are young people, they can also be forced to make it Cui's labor force.
But these old, weak, sick and disabled people probably can't do anything except eat.
Cui Shenji didn't want to raise so many idlers, but he didn't dare to slaughter the city without permission.
If he slaughtered the city, not to mention whether the imperial court would be angry and send troops, the entire Zezhou would rise up to resist.
So he ordered that these old, weak, sick and disabled people be driven out and let them go to the border of Zezhou.
As for where they go and whether they will die on the way, it's none of Cui Shenji's business.
At this time, the periphery of the battlefield.
Su Xuan and the others personally witnessed the whole process of this battle.
"My lord, I wonder, why do you say that the Zezhou army of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses does not defend the county seat of Xianfeng County, but runs outside to line up troops? Looking at their posture, they can't fight. If you hold the county seat, you won't be captured by the Jizhou army so quickly." Xu Ersan wondered.
"There are two reasons for this, first, it may be seen from the battle just now that the Zezhou army lacks fighting spirit, and they are completely unconfident that they can win the Jizhou army.
Xianfeng County is not big, what if they are surrounded by the Jizhou army if they defend Xianfeng County? I'm afraid I won't be able to run away. Tonight they managed to break through, and they also ran out of thousands of men.
Second, it is my own conjecture that the general of this Zezhou army does not want to implicate the people in the city. So they chose to confront the Jizhou army outside the city."
Su Xuan said.
"I see, or are you smart!"
As soon as he said this, Xu Ershou understood.
Xianfeng County is not a big city, it is estimated to be smaller than Nayang County.
If it is surrounded, as long as the Jizhou army keeps besieging the county seat, it can force the defenders in the city to surrender without spending a single soldier.
And the Jizhou army is entrenched outside the city, and once the fight starts, there is still a possibility of escape.
"What do you think of this Jizhou Army?" Su Xuan asked.
"The soldiers are strong, and they are indeed much stronger than I thought. However, their generals are average, and the reason why they won so quickly was nothing more than that the firecracker took the opponent by surprise. The military general who just fought with Jizhou is quite brave, and it looks like the force value is not low, and he may have the realm of martial arts." Xu Ershou said.
"I also noticed the general, this man is indeed very good at fighting, but he should not know how to train soldiers. Otherwise, with his ability, another 10,000 Jizhou troops may not be able to beat him. This person should be from the Zezhou side
The best generals." Su Xuan said.
"I have taken stock of the main combat strength of Zezhou and Jizhou before, and the commander of the Zezhou Terracotta Division is Wang Mao's henchman, who is good at using a long lance, and his name is Li Gui. If I'm not mistaken, that person is Ghost Li." Xu Ershou said.
"It should be him." Su Xuan nodded.
Su Xuan had also heard of this person's name.
Zezhou Li Ghost is a well-known loyal and courageous person.
Su Xuan also saw his advantages, and with the strength of one person, he could lead the Zezhou army with low morale to block the attack of the Jizhou army.
If his soldiers are more elite, the Jizhou army will definitely not be his opponent.
"My lord, what's next?" Xu Ershou asked.
"Next, it's time to negotiate business with Zezhou." Su Xuan smiled faintly.
"Huh?"
"The Jizhou army has a firecracker, and the Zezhou army that fought fell into disarray. The Zezhou army must also want to have firearms, otherwise how can they take revenge?" Su Xuan said with a smile.
"My lord, you sell firecrackers on both sides? I thought you wanted to support the Jizhou army to eat the whole of Zezhou." Xu Ersan said in surprise.
Su Xuan first sold firecrackers to the Jizhou army, just to let them go to the battlefield and show the Zezhou army the power of firecrackers.
Then Su Xuan went to talk to Zezhou about business.
Take a bite on both sides!
Since you want to do business, you must have to deceive women.
Only when the two sides fight, can the price of firearms rise.
Su Xuan estimated that now that the Qinghe Cui clan had won the battle, he would definitely not feel sorry for the eight million taels of silver anymore.
On the contrary, they must feel that the eight million taels are not worth it.
"How else would you get rich?" Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Haha, you have to be smart! I've learned again!" Xu Er smiled thinly.
"There's a lot you should learn, look at it, study hard." Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Hey, that's that!" Xu Ershou said with a smile.
"Ershi, if you were to take fifty people to fight against the three hundred firecrackers just now, would you be able to win?" Su Xuan asked.
Xu Ershou grinned.
"Fifty people, it's just easy to destroy those 300 firecrackers." Xu Ershou said with a smile.
"Let's go, keep up with the remnants of the Zezhou Army." Su Xuan said.
"Okay!"
"Wait, you're back!"
Seeing that Xu Ershou was about to go to the front to lead the way, Su Xuan immediately called him back.
Let Xu Ershou lead the way, Su Xuan is afraid that he will be taken into the ditch again.
"I'll lead the way, and you follow." Su Xuan didn't have a good airway.
"My lord, isn't there a Zezhou army leading the way ahead? I'm sure I'm not going to get lost, I'll lead the way." Xu Ershou said.
"Come on, I'd rather believe that the sow will go up the tree than that you Xu Erthin will recognize the way." Su Xuan said.
"Hahaha~"
Everyone in the Shenji Camp burst into laughter.
Under the leadership of Su Xuan, the Shenji Battalion went to the direction of Zezhou.
