194. One can be two but not good
Where did the Miao people think that Qiyang had set such a trap here, just waiting for them to take the bait.
All of a sudden, Miao Bing suffered a big loss, indeed, many of them here have never been on the battlefield, nor have they undergone any training, so they don't know what the battlefield is like at all.
I heard the elders in the village say that they would enter the county town, where there was enough food, cloth, iron, and of course, a lot of silver.
Only then did they arrive at the city, and they were all listening to the elder's orders, preparing to capture the county seat in one fell swoop, and suddenly, a dense rain of arrows came down on the city.
Many Miao soldiers were shot down directly without any reaction, and some of the companions who watched them suddenly fall to the ground for some reason, and the most of them were injured, shouting loudly, and all of a sudden, the ranks of thousands of people became chaotic.
There were people running around everywhere, shouts for help everywhere, and some were shouts from the leaders of the Miao soldiers.
There are not too many people who are really directly shot by arrows, and there are only more than 1,000 that really effectively kill and injure Miao soldiers, and most of the arrow rain is shot empty, one is that they are not aimed at people in the first place, and there are many arrows that are either close or far, or have crossed Miao soldiers.
But the losses caused were not small, mainly because of the chaos, many of the soldiers were not killed by arrows, but were trampled to death by their companions.
The Miao soldiers retreated to the foot of the mountain not far outside the city, only to find that less than 3,000 of the 5,000 people remained, some died on the spot, some were injured, and some were probably afraid to run.
Qi Feng happily patted Zhou Da and praised him again and again, praising Zhou Da for grasping this opportunity well.
Yuan Rui was not stingy, and said directly that as long as the war subsided, he would definitely play with the court and give Zhou Daxian a credit.
At the same time, I promised all the participating soldiers that regardless of whether they hit the Miao soldiers or not, each person would be rewarded with five taels of silver.
When all the soldiers at the head of the city heard this silver reward, they were going crazy, five taels of silver, not to mention archery, even if they were shot, they could be shot!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuan Rui directly threw out a bigger reward, as long as the county can be defended, all the soldiers who participated in the defense of the city will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver each, the injured government will be treated, and the dead government will give another 50 taels of silver.
If this money is not given by the government in the future, you can directly go to the Wei State Mansion or the Lu family store to cash it.
This reward does not talk about the common people, that is, those patrolmen and regimental members are all excited, even if they can make money, how much they can earn, now there is such an opportunity, not to mention that they may not die, but they are dead, and it is enough to leave so much silver.
Zhou Da, who was standing on the edge of Qi Feng, secretly approached at this time and asked quietly, "Qi Inspection, do we border soldiers also have this reward?" ”
"Zhou Teamzheng, don't worry, as long as Gongzi says something, there is nothing fake, money is nothing to him."
"Tell you, don't say anything else, the shops in Hengzhou City alone have an income of 10,000 taels of silver every year, and the entire Tanzhou is calculated, 100,000 taels a year can't be beaten, follow the son, you can rest assured."
Zhou Da really doesn't know much about Yuan Rui, he has been staying in Wugang, and there are few opportunities to come out, listening to Qi Feng's words, he stayed for a long time, why is such a person still an official.
Seeing that Qi Feng was about to arrange for the soldiers to disperse, Yuan Rui somehow suddenly remembered something, and directly waved Zhou Da.
"Let's let everyone wait, rest for a while, and find someone to pay attention, I guess someone will come to check on these Miao soldiers on the ground. Don't make any moves yet, when more Miao people come to collect the corpses, tell the soldiers, give me another round of shooting. ”
When Zhou Da heard this, he immediately understood what Yuan Rui meant, this was another surprise to kill the Miao people.
It was really expected by Yuan Rui, and the Miao elders came to their senses, first sent dozens of people to explore the truth and see that there was no movement in the city, and then sent thousands of people to check on the situation of the injured Miao soldiers.
There are always some fish that have slipped through the net, and many of the Miao soldiers who fell to the ground are indeed alive, if they don't ask, they will definitely not survive, and these Miao soldiers still have to be carried down for treatment.
This opportunity was caught by Yuan Rui, and with an order from the city, thousands of arrows were shot out, but this time there was a target.
Although the Miao people were a little guarded, they couldn't prevent it at all, and most of the thousands of Miao soldiers who came out were directly shot, and another six or seven hundred fell to the ground, and the shouts that had just stopped a little under the city sounded again.
"Childe, your trick is higher, the Miao people obviously know that they still have to come up and send them to death, and they will be more afraid later."
"To be honest, this method is good, but it always feels a little different, and it hurts that ......."
"Childe, you can't say that, on the battlefield, being merciful to the enemy is the greatest harm to yourself. Look at these Miao people, it may not be that they don't kill people or rob things when they enter the city. ”
"County Zun, Lord Qi is right, for these Miao people, the lower officials are still clear, and they can't be too merciful to them."
Zhou Da also said on the side, "My lord, many Shengmiao people are very cruel to the Han people. ”
Yuan Rui sighed, his ideas were indeed a bit unrealistic, and the current nation was not so integrated.
Qiyang County can be regarded as blocking the first round of Miao soldiers, and also caused huge losses to Miao soldiers, but the gorge is broken!
It was the last moment in the military village, and with the last batch of bows and arrows damaged, the wooden fence of Dazhai was cut down by the Miao soldiers, and thousands of Miao soldiers rushed into the military village.
In the face of Miao Bing's bamboo guns and Miao knives, the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Wugang Army suffered a great loss in battle. If it weren't for the fact that General Tian had been training to deal with the various battle formations of the Miao people, the Wugang army would not be able to fight it from the beginning.
Another Miao soldier was cut down, General Tian looked at the war knife with the blade rolled in his hand, and got rid of the battle death, there was no second way to go.
This is the territory of the Miao people, thinking about dealing with the Miao people in the mountains, it is impossible, leaving the village, these people are not the opponents of the Miao people, not to mention the messy things in the mountains and forests.
Looking at the dozens of pro-soldiers surrounding him, he can only rush out now, and it would be good if one of them could escape.
General Tian threw away the war knife in his hand, picked up a steel gun on the ground, and shouted, "Brothers, follow me and rush out, kill!" ”
After shouting, he raised the big gun in his hand and rushed to the gate of the village first, and the pro-soldiers on the side and the remaining less than 100 soldiers mustered up the last bit of strength to follow General Tian and rushed out of the village.
The Xu Mansion is not calm.
The two pro-soldiers almost ran to their deaths, and finally spread the news of the Miao unrest to the Guogong Mansion within seven days.
After hearing this, the county lord was so anxious, but there was nothing on his face, the old and the young in the family, don't surprise them, and it will be even more troublesome if there is an accident.
But for a while, she couldn't think of a better way, such a long distance, even if she sent troops from the capital immediately, it would be too late to get to the place.
Now the key is time, as soon as this is mentioned, the county lord hates it in his heart, in the past few years, it seems that every August, he has not had a good time, is there really a villain.
She had no one to discuss, so she could only secretly find her eldest brother at night, and if she wanted to use soldiers to save these emergencies, it would be better for him.
"Eldest sister, don't worry about it first, as far as the current situation in Qiyang is concerned, it won't be too serious, Xu Bing and the three of them, and dozens of pro-soldiers, not to mention defeating the Miao people, at least there is no problem with self-preservation, not to mention, isn't there still an old man Bai."
"Now the news of the court has not yet come, the specific situation is definitely not good, but the Miao people are not like the Hu people, they are in the hinterland of the Central Plains, they can't jump out, if they provoke the court, it will be the extinction of the clan, no matter who can think about this kind of thing."
"Yuan Rui's character, I understand, don't look at him as a little scholar, but he has the right idea in his heart, sometimes his backbone is harder than many military attachés, and it is easy for him to abandon the city and abandon the people to flee by himself, which is impossible, so there is a high probability that he will defend the city."
"Brother, I'm just worried about his stinky temper and scholarly anger, and he doesn't listen to people's advice."
"He usually talks about the people the most, I have told my father several times, he is really not suitable to be an official, I don't know how complicated the situation below is, not to mention that there are a few people who are indeed Diao people, ignorant and ignorant, and unreasonable troubles are commonplace, and there are many petty officials and officials, who are also villains who eat people and do not spit out bones, not to mention bandits in the countryside and forests, killing people and setting fires, Yuan Rui is a scholar, and he can't cope with these at all."
"Brother, if you want me to say, let him come back, it really doesn't matter if this official does it or not."
"Eldest sister, don't worry, don't worry about the rest in advance, let's get through the difficulties in front of you first."
"Now in terms of the surrounding area, there is only one place that is closest to it and can catch up, the wolf soldiers of Jiaozhou."
"They also owe Yuan Rui a favor, what about me, think of a way, let them go to Qiyang first, if nothing else, just protect Yuan Rui's safety."
After hearing this, the county lord was a little relieved.
In fact, the county lord also knows that the current situation in Tanzhou has been transferred to the border for the sake of the border pass.
Indeed, there are soldiers in Tanzhou, such as Tanzhou Wei, but the strength of the guards is limited, especially in the past two years, soldiers have been continuously transferred to supplement the border army, and now many guards are newly added later, not to mention the combat strength, the soldiers have not been recruited.
So for Luo Wenguang, the general of Tanzhou Wei, the current situation is the most unfavorable, and he doesn't know why he is so unlucky.
Luo Wenguang turned out to be a commander in the capital guards, and he was also from a genuine brand, he was the earliest batch of subordinates of Yan Guogong, not only fought thorns, but even participated in the earliest battle with Chijin.
Last year, the Chaer people invaded the south, and Yan Guogong died in Youzhou, although the saint did not do anything to the border army, but just changed the coach, and let Gao Zhen and Yang Guodong take the lead, but Yan Guogong's death still had an impact.
A military general like Luo Wenguang in a dangerous position has become an obstacle in the eyes of many families, and it has become very difficult to stay in his original position.
