Chapter 369: The End
The two elders were captured, and the war on Su Qi'an's side came to an end.
On the other hand, in the territory of the three priests, the fighting was extremely fierce.
After dividing the troops with the two elders, the second priest led 20,000 men under his command, barely giving Song Biao and Chen time to breathe, and led the indigenous army to storm the third city.
Although the second and third regiments left behind tried their best to resist, the No. 3 city wall was eventually lost, and after holding out for half an hour, the No. 3 city was breached.
At the moment when the city broke, Chen Zhi and Song Biao immediately made a decision and immediately led people to retreat.
The second priest was overjoyed at this time, and when he attacked City Three, his casualties were still relatively heavy, reaching 3,000 people.
But with the destruction of the city, the casualties of 3,000 were also worth it, and the second priest did not hesitate, and immediately ordered to cancel the so-called reserves, spread out the whole army, and storm the fourth city.
Under the onslaught of the Second Priest, it took less than two quarters of an hour for City Four to be taken.
The indigenous army that advanced all the way was called a powerful and high-spirited army, but on the other hand, the armies of Chen Zhi and Song Biao were losing and retreating.
Retreat directly to the last city five.
The degree of defense of this No. 5 city is very similar to that of No. 4 city, and then this momentum, the indigenous army will take it, it is a matter of time.
The second priest was not worried about any ambush or ambush on the other side, facing him with absolute strength, there were still more than 4,000 Liang soldiers left in front of him, and the second priest had absolute confidence to eat it.
With an order, the native army went straight to City Five, and attacked it fiercely.
This onslaught, but their momentum was frustrated.
The front-line army was actually killed by the Liang soldiers who attacked, and this time in the attack on City Five, this group of soldiers, instead of retreating, broke out with amazing combat effectiveness.
In addition to passive defense, it is even more out of the city to meet the enemy, and it seems that the previous defeat and retreat were deliberate.
This scene surprised the second priest a little, but he expected that City Five was the last city, and once it was taken, these people could only be forced to flee into the county town.
According to the agreement between the two elders and Li Kang, this expedition is only for the territory of the three priests, and as for the county seat and county seat, it will definitely not be violated.
As long as the territory of the three priests is recaptured, it is the best bridgehead, and the county town is under their surveillance.
The territory of the three priests is much more important than the so-called county town, and these soldiers who are holding on to the fifth city will now have an amazing combat power, after all, it is too late.
The second priest had faith and gave him a quarter of an hour at most, and City Five was in his hands.
Seeing that the scales of victory were tilting towards them, suddenly, a message came from the rear.
This news is not that the two elders were captured, but that the cities they occupy from No. 1 to No. 4 actually happened.
Some indigenous groups of varying numbers have massed and wreaked havoc on the strongholds they occupied.
The number of people is constantly converging, and there is a great tendency to encircle them.
This news shocked the second priest, and he even thought that he had heard it wrong, and after confirming it several times, his face gradually became gloomy.
The territory of the three priests they recaptured would have riots, and the two priests had thought about it.
But it is absolutely impossible to have such a scale, it is said that there are at least tens of thousands of natives gathered this time, and many of these people are capable of fighting.
These people are called militias, as if they are a semi-military branch of the army formed by Su Qi'an in his territory.
These militiamen go down to the countryside and up to the county seat, and they have their shadows, but don't underestimate these people.
I am a local, I am very familiar with the local environment and road sections, and I am equipping them with some weapons, which can really bring them a lot of trouble.
The second priest's face was pale, and he was not angry that these indigenous militiamen were making trouble for him.
It was these lowly natives who would listen to Su Qi'an's words so much and dare to organize a rebellion.
You must know that Su Qi'an occupies the territory of the three priests, at most a month, a month, to let the local natives obey orders so much and rebel against the patriarchs and priests.
This was unimaginable before.
After all, they were ruled for many years
There is a natural fear of the patriarchs and priests in his mind.
But this Su Qi'an, it only took less than a month to wash away all the fears and fears in their minds that they did not dare to resist.
Along with the abolition of his own domestic slave status, he disappeared together.
"Hmph, untouchables are untouchables, do you really think that slavery has been abolished, and even the master is no longer recognized?"
"Pass the order, kill one of these militias who make trouble, and never be merciful, since you dare to resist, you will have to bleed and pay the price."
Even if his army fought fiercely with the Dongshan Army in City Five, the second priest would not let go of these troublemakers who wanted to stab him in the back.
In his opinion, the so-called militia is nothing more than being forcibly brainwashed by Su Qi'an, and he really thinks that he has gained freedom.
To deal with these people, the only way to deal with them is to kill, bleed, and these garbage militias will disperse.
It's just a rabble, and when he talks about City Five, he can solve the troublesome militia with his backhand.
The idea was good, but the second priest clearly underestimated his opponent this time.
When his order was issued, the Dongshan Army, which had originally relied on the terrain advantage to passively fight back, didn't know what it was doing, it was like taking medicine.
After the siege force was killed, and before the second group of siege troops approached, the city gate opened, and all the soldiers rushed straight to the attacking native army.
This scene not only frightened the indigenous army besieging the city, but even the second priest in the distance was stunned.
Is there such a war?
"Damn, I've endured it for so long, and I've finally waited for Mr.'s letter, brothers, rush, fuck him."
"Haha, let's do it, it's our turn now, rush, capture the second priest alive!"
In the Dongshan army, an earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded, and everyone's eyes were red at this time, and the fire in their chests was constantly released, like a group of hungry wolves, only pounced on the indigenous army.
Where has the indigenous army seen this formation, is this still the Dongshan army that they chased and beat just now?
The momentum of the four or five thousand eruptions was not weaker than them in the slightest, and without waiting for them to defend, the Dongshan army that rushed up was very organized, and immediately dispersed, interspersed, and encircled.
Wrapped up 10,000 of them, the battle that had the upper hand just now was directly reversed in less than a few breaths.
And that's not even the worst, the crackdown on the militias in the rear is not going well.
Not only did this group of militiamen fight more and more, but they finally beat them.
For a time, the second priest was in a dilemma.
Looking at the deadlock in front of the natives army that could not be pulled out, with the military report of the militia in the rear in their hands, the second priest's heart fell to the bottom.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that he had been fooled by the siege.
The reason why he hit the fifth city so smoothly was to be able to ambush him before and after at the right opportunity.
can have such a plan, who else can there be besides Su Qi'an.
The second priest's eyes flashed, and his hands were clenched, as if he was making a decision.
This time the division of troops, he is the commander-in-chief, and he has already packed the ticket to the two elders, and he can't take the fifth city, so he will come to see him.
Now, the only way to go is to die and fight against the water.
Even if he died, he was dying on the way to attack City Five.
Just as the second priest was about to give the order for the whole army to fight to the death, the news of the capture of the two elders came.
Upon hearing the news, the second priest was unstable and almost fell from his horse.
He stared at the person with the letter, and confirmed it several times, and finally had to admit the unacceptable news.
This time, not only was he captured with the two elders, but at the same time, the two elders ordered the second priest to give up resistance, tie his hands and take prisoners, waiting for him and Su Qi'an to arrive, making plans.
This news made the corners of the second priest's mouth twitch, although he tried his best to calm his mind, but this kind of news was too ridiculous to make people feel untrue.
The second priest's body trembled, and finally he was angry, his blood surged, and a mouthful of blood spurted
out, and his eyes were instantly overwhelmed by darkness.
The crowd exclaimed, "Second priest, second priest..."
The body of the second priest fell directly from the horse's back...
I don't know how long it was, but by the time the second priest woke up, it was already daylight.
At this time, he was lying in the big tent, surrounded by several serving henchmen.
Seeing the second priest wake up, the henchman stepped forward, and without waiting for the second priest to ask, the henchman told the second priest what happened during the time he was unconscious.
The second priest was in a coma for a long time, and it was only for one night, but what happened that night made many people unable to sleep for a long time.
Soon after the letter arrived, not only the native army stopped attacking, but even the Dongshan army, which was about to encircle them, stopped.
They seemed to have gotten similar news, the two sides stopped, the weapons and equipment of the indigenous army were confiscated, and the personnel were monitored by the Dongshan army.
Until a quarter of an hour later, the second elder, Su Qi'an, came.
The two elders and Su Qi'an didn't say anything, they entered the county town with Su Qi'an, and they seemed to be talking, and they discussed for half the night, and no one knew what they were talking about.
It was not until the second half of the night that the two elders left the county town, and immediately gathered their troops and immediately withdrew.
After rushing in the middle of the night, now that he has returned to the old city, the only thing he can know is that the two elders and Su Qi'an signed a non-aggression contract, and the territory of the three priests was divided into Su Qi'an, and the grievances between the two sides were written off.
Not only that, but the battle that night, as if it hadn't happened, the priests were not punished in any way, except for the second priest who was injured and unconscious, who stayed in the old city for the time being, and the rest of the priests all returned to their respective territories.
Hearing this, the eyes of the second priest who woke up flashed, as if he realized something, and said, "Tell the two elders that the second priest has asked to be summoned."
The henchman nodded, and just got up to leave, outside the big tent, a voice sounded, "Spread the order of the two elders, if the second priest wakes up, come and see you quickly."
After a while, the second priest got up, and after a simple tidying up, he left the big tent, followed the messenger, and entered the tent of the two elders.
The second priest stayed in the tent for about two quarters of an hour, and when he came out of the tent, although his face was still calm, his worries dissipated.
Obviously, this conversation solved a lot of confusion for the second priest.
