Chapter 318: Stratagem

It was at this time that the western ...... of Haizhou

"Hurry up, we can enter Haizhou today. This Haizhou is really stupid, if you don't build the city wall and don't do defense, this is looking for death!"

"Ha, captain, you don't know, it's called arrogance! ”

"Yes, yes, this time, we will definitely be able to follow General Wu Tao and General Wu to level Haizhou! Hmph, from now on, we will be able to enjoy those things in Haizhou cheaply. ”

"No!" said one of the soldiers, shaking his head, "although Haizhou things are expensive, most of them can be bought; But if we take Haizhou, captain, do you think there will be so many merchants?

Just look at the comparison between us and Haizhou, Haizhou ......"

"Iron Head, shut up!" the captain suddenly whispered, "You idiot, don't say such things! You don't want to live yourself, don't drag everyone into the water." Don't forget, we're just so-called miscellaneous soldiers, just mixed food. It's not easy to eat these days!"

"Oh......" The so-called iron head finally closed his mouth. They were just ordinary people who were forcibly recruited by the puppet king Shengqing, mainly for transportation, reserve and other work; of course, if they were defeated, they would also be responsible for the aftermath - in fact, they would be sent to death.

But there is no way, as the captain said, Haizhou has been in constant war for the past year, and even food planting has been delayed, so you can imagine how the lives of civilians are under such circumstances. Nowadays, there are many states that call the common people as slaves -- there are frequent wars, and there is no money and food, so they can only be squeezed from the common people!

And even if this is the case, the money and food are not enough! What, you say that you want those nobles to pay? You are dreaming! You would rather die than give up a penny! These nobles are shrewd -- there is a first time and a second time. But when it comes to the war against Haizhou, the existence of Haizhou threatens its rights and status. In such a situation, it is not easy for these nobles to refuse completely.

What should I do, it's too easy, and it's more than one stone! Don't you mud-legged people want to run to Haizhou? That's great, I'll arrange for you to go, and I'll give you a bite to eat along the way--but remember to come back, ouch and still have it. Remember to pull the baggage away when you go.

Look at how beautiful this thing is! Not only did it support the war, it saved money, but it also weakened the power of the mud legs. Of course, in the process, there is still a lot of hands...... Hehe, you know......

In any case, a large number of civilians were reduced to slavery, and even if they did not become slaves, they were pariahs - with nothing!

When the war broke out, the people who suffered the most were, of course, the ordinary people, because they had no ability to resist! It will be even more, and if you are in a hurry, you will come and die together! Although it cannot be said that it will definitely cause damage to the enemy, no one can guarantee that they will be able to rest easy.

Then why did Haizhou force away so many nobles? It's too simple, because Xiao Hao is boiling frogs in warm water on the one hand, and slowly taking away the soil for the survival of these nobles -- the soil for survival is gone, what are you going to do if you don't go! The most important thing is that you will die yourself first if you die together, and the nobles are all afraid of death. Haizhou, in particular, has a special department. It specially encourages those noble children to steal the bronze tripod of luck from their homes and exchange them for all kinds of money.

Anyway, all kinds of means came to a "one-stop service". Taking advantage of some of the weaknesses of the nobles, using the method of boiling frogs in warm water, so that these nobles have become accustomed to compromise, and finally slowly "cooked" these nobles!

The puppet Wang Shengqing is like this here - oppressing the common people, and the same is true of Boshengzhao in Qinzhou, in fact, the entire Dali royal court has long been in a miasma, and the people are not living. This is also the reason why Haizhou is expanding so fast!

It's just that civilians are civilians after all, and they have no power to resist -- there are a large number of masters in the national army, and even a bronze tripod of luck, so only in the border with Haizhou can they dare to "defect."

But this time the war saw hope for some struggling civilians -- and for a desperate man, once he saw hope. It's going to be absolutely crazy!

And this time is no exception!

"Iron Head, Iron Head!" Iron Head was woken up in the middle of the night.

Tietou looked like the captain, but at this time, the captain was dressed in a black shirt, with a long knife pinned to his body, and there was a fierce aura all over his body, which was obviously not the captain under normal circumstances.

But seeing the captain like this, instead of panicking, Tietou laughed silently a few times, got up quietly, and then woke up the people around him, and everyone began to act. Not a single person said a word during the whole process, but all of them acted cautiously.

It's just that the 30,000 elite soldiers who left the royal court didn't pay much attention to the people behind them - what can these mud-legged people do.

The night was quiet, but in the quiet of the night, there were countless black shadows flickering! They dug up the dirt, threw away the muddy puddles, and even opened the bark of trees, and so on, all kinds of means, simply mysterious.

And from this, you can get a large and small package, these packages are all kinds of weapons, some are pine oil/butter, etc., and some powerful bows and arrows!

Needless to say, this is Haizhou's arrangement! Think about it, why do so many prefectures and counties take the initiative to take refuge in Haizhou? Of course, there is a problem here! This is because there is a group of people who are responsible for plotting rebellion and education behind enemy lines, and even leading the great revolution from time to time; and these "educated" people, once they are recruited into the people's transportation team, will become the means behind Haizhou!

However, Xiao Hao understood that such a method could only be used once or twice, and that more would inevitably be counterproductive; therefore, Haizhou had not used such a plan in the previous battles! But this time it was different, Haizhou needed to take the coastal areas neatly, and consolidate its own power, and if necessary, even needed a real state-building title, so as to lead Haizhou's next development.

In the early stage of development, of course, it is necessary to slow down the claim to the king and accumulate grain; but when the development reaches a certain point, sometimes it is not possible to delay the claim to the king -- in many cases, it is necessary to raise a clear banner of the camp. Of course, this opportunity must be mastered, otherwise it will be self-defeating and lose yourself.

But this time, Xiao Hao is ready to use his long-planned secret hand for the first time!

Think about it. If the puppet king Shengqing lost 30,000 elite soldiers again, and Qinzhou Bo lost 10,000 elite soldiers, what would it be? Needless to say, one by one, they were absolutely broken and even directly suffered irreparable wounds, and finally slowly withered and died!

In the middle of the night, Wu Tao was watching the sand table, repeatedly deducing how to strike at Haizhou. It's different from the average person. Wu Tao saw another advantage of not having a city wall -- that is, flexibility! Not to mention that Haizhou's army could sneak attack at any time, even if he occupied a city by himself, there would be no danger to defend -- Haizhou's plan directly made most of the previous war thinking methods and other methods ineffective, and almost the vast majority of tactics were useless!

Although he had already made some mental preparations for war, Wu Tao still felt a little unsafe and imperfect, so he was still thinking about it late at night. But at this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the familiar voice of the leader of his own guards was heard from afar, but this time, there was some panic in the voice!

"My lord, it's not good, it's not good! Those mud-legged people have rebelled!"

"What!" Wu Tao stood up suddenly in surprise, and then his figure flashed out of the camp, and sure enough, he saw that a little red light had begun to appear in the rear. But with the cultivation of the acquired masters, with his keen senses, Wu Tao could still vaguely see a large number of black shadows moving in the firelight, and they began to kill the elite soldiers who were still asleep!

The 100,000 people rebelled, and only 30,000 of the elite soldiers who were still asleep had not even reacted for a while! Especially since it was late at night. An accident that would have caused the bombing of a camp - the most terrible disaster of the ancient march.

"Ahhh......h Suddenly the camp began to be noisy. After all, it was discovered early, and the camp of 130,000 people was very vast, five miles wide.

But, after all, disaster has happened!

Crash...... Suddenly the wind rose! The wind came so strangely -- it was like it had eyes, and it was carrying flames that stretched out specifically to the tent, and the flames began to spread, and the tent began to burn. The flames gradually began to devour some of the elite soldiers who were still in the dim.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" came the mournful shout.

But...... But this shout was not shouted by Wu Tao, nor by any general instructed by Wu Tao...... Then there is only one situation, the thief shouts to catch the thief!

Ahem, this should be said to be a ploy, after this terrible shout came, sure enough, Wu Tao's camp began to panic. Many soldiers even fled in a panic.

"All the grain and grass have been burned! Ahhh

Wu Tao's face was even more ugly, the enemy's ruthlessness was beyond imagination, this was the real omnipotence! However, the next words made Wu Tao almost vomit blood......

"Everyone listens to the order, Wu Dashuai has the order, all the people gather in the middle, prepare for battle, hurry. In addition, all the food on everyone's body will be taken out, and Wu Dashuai will distribute it uniformly. Quick, don't grind, if you want to live, gather in the center!"

"Squeak......" Wu Tao really wants to pull out this shouter, or those shouters, and then crush his mouth and torture him fiercely!

Gather in the middle? Everyone will lose strategic space! When the time comes, they will be dumpling-making -- there is absolutely no second possibility.

And what did Marshal Wu order, all the people to hand over the grain -- this was to force the soldiers to rebel! Anyway, such a sentence caused a lump enough to stop the railway.

Wu Tao made a decision in an instant, immediately held up the handsome flag, and raised the butter torch high, "This commander is here, the order just now is a rumor spread by the enemy, don't listen to it."

Note that they assemble in place to form a clan, and arrange them in the normal order of battle. We march westward, break through, and return to the Great Departure Palace!"

This Wu Tao was also a little decisive, and at this time he decisively decided to evacuate.

However, if you want to come and go, do you really think Haizhou is a tourist resort?

Just as Wu Tao stood out, on the mountain peak in the distance, on a mountain three miles away from here, a strong man was bending his bow and arrows, and next to him, Tu Yong was floating in front of Tu Yong a cyan ball of luck and blue light!! (to be continued......
