Chapter 18: Breaking the Siege of the Warrior Tribe

Hong Shan came to the headquarters and listened to the daily routine report of the reconnaissance platoon. In front of him were three original drafts of war reports sent from the front, all of which were the latest developments.

In Hong Jiajun, to become a qualified platoon commander, you must at least be able to read and draw. This hard rule has stuck the upward space of many excellent fighters, and at most they can only stay in the position of squad leader.

For this reason, Hongshan has been insisting on cultural training for the army. Through this year's unremitting efforts, several full-time instructors have been trained to guide the fighters in their cultural learning every day.

"Report to the young master, the pressure on the Dada tribe now is the biggest among the three." The reconnaissance platoon commander wiped the sweat from his face, having just returned from the front on horseback.

"Sit and say, drink saliva slowly." Hong Shan handed him a glass of water, picked up the battle report and read it carefully, staring at the drawing from time to time and thinking.

Now three days have passed, and with the efforts of the reconnaissance platoon and the marksman, more than 20 places where grain and grass and supplies are stored have been destroyed, and more than 300 enemies and more than 50 petty leaders have been shot. It effectively relieves the pressure of the Dada tribe. But it failed to stop a full-scale attack, after all, the disparity in forces was too great.

The enemy's leader, Yu Ren, also failed to kill him. The marksman struck him in the heart with pinpoint accuracy, piercing through the leather armor. I don't know that there is a layer of hardwood in the leather armor, so it's a pity that it fell short.

The casualties of the Dada tribe are relatively large, after all, they have less experience in war, just like sheep facing wolves. Although all of them are fierce and not afraid of death, their combat awareness and skills are much worse.

And Yu Ren, the leader of the siege of the Dada tribe this time, has been serving as a vanguard officer in the Chiyou army. The perennial fighting has made the combat effectiveness of his vanguard army among the best in the Jiuli tribe of Chiyou. Therefore, Chi deliberately sent Yu people with the main force to gnaw the hard bones of the Dada tribe.

Despite this, the Dada tribe also killed more than 700 enemies after paying the lives of more than 2,000 tribal warriors. Coupled with the perimeter shooting of the cavalry company, there were about 4,000 of Yu Ren's men left.

Hong Shan frowned, and picked up the battle report from the warrior tribe again. The leader of the enemy team was called Yamauchi, and his troops numbered 2,500. Now the first cavalry company, under the leadership of Hong Dong, has been flying kites against them for three days. Later, some soldiers of the third cavalry company were added, and they were taken for internship.

The tactic of kite flying is to shoot and kill from a distance, and never fight in close combat. With the advantage of war horses, roundabout guerrilla warfare. The bows and arrows used by the cavalry were far and powerful than the enemy, causing great trouble for the enemy to attack the warrior tribe.

The enemy leader Yamauchi was killed by a sharpshooter named Hong Baiyun on the night of the battle, and an arrow pierced his throat. After that, Wu Dashan, Yamauchi's deputy, took over the army, and his ability was a little worse, and he was suitable for charging into battle.

was attacked by the warrior tribe and the cavalry company, found a flaw, and joined forces to eliminate more than 1,000 people. After the fight, Wu Dashan could only lead his troops and retreated to a nearby mountain to defend it.

Seeing this, Hong Shan smiled. So on the side of the warrior tribe, there is no big problem now, and the result of the battle is planned.

And the second cavalry company, under the leadership of Hong Er, killed the Yellow Character Tribe. As of today, the enemy's strength has been destroyed at about 1,500 people.

The Huangzi tribe was besieged by a man named Xia Hu with troops, and his troops were about 3,000 people. After these few days, there is now half left. The momentum of the offensive was insufficient, and the enemy was mostly timid. After many small leaders were shot, the morale of the army was confused.

This Xia Hu had a big fate, and the arrow of the marksman was supposed to hit his head, but he was blocked by his subordinates and escaped his life by luck.

Well, the Yellow Character Tribe is not a big problem here, and the war is within the control of the Hong family's army.

I also looked at the attack reconnaissance platoon, the commander of the first cavalry company, and the commander of the second company, the assessment of the combat effectiveness of the third cavalry company, and the battle summary submitted by Hong Da.

Everyone agrees that the evaluation is that the combat skills are mature, and they can flexibly use kite tactics, and these new fighters have shot and killed many enemy small leaders, which has played a role in breaking the enemy's military heart.

Seeing this conclusion reassured him, he could continue to let this cavalry company participate in the next few wars. Because from now on, it is necessary to close the net against the remnants of the Yellow Character Tribe and the Warrior Tribe.

After arranging the affairs of the base camp, the defense here was temporarily taken over by Hong Mi.

Hong Shan set off immediately with the guard platoon, and now with the continuous expansion of the Hong family's army, Hong Shan's personal safety is also taken seriously. At the urging of all the people, a platoon of guards was set up to protect its security.

The first stop came to the warrior tribe, after entering the tribe, after greeting the tribe leader Houhu for a few words, he sent someone to call the company commander Hong Dong and the leader of the reconnaissance platoon here.

The temporary leader of the enemy, Wu Dashan, is still leading his subordinates and defending the mountain there. The whole army had been cowering there, passively waiting.

In order to be safe, Hong Shan asked the scout to lead the way, led everyone to ride together, and came to the vicinity of the mountain to check the surroundings. Hong Shan pointed to the terrain here and communicated his combat ideas with everyone.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, so they put forward their own suggestions. After Hong Shan perfected the whole plan, he thought about it again.

Hong Shan: "Hong Dong, you will lead a company to take charge of the east." ”

Hong Dong: "Yes, guarantee to complete the task"

He politely said to Houhu, the leader of the warrior tribe: "Leader Houhu, please arrange people from the west." ”

Leader Houhu: "Young master, don't be so polite, you must, you are helping our tribe fight." ”

"Hong Dong, you will be in charge of the south here with the third company of cavalry."

"Roger."

"Reconnaissance platoon, you will arrange those areas according to the plan."

"Roger."

Hong Shan is here, assign the tasks one by one, and start closing the net tonight.

Wu Dashan felt that he was really unlucky, he was very happy that he took over the entire army after being killed by an arrow in the mountain. Thinking that after conquering the warrior tribe, he would be able to sit in this position, and his reputation in the Jiuli tribe would also rise.

I didn't know that my ass was not hot, so I was forced to run here to hide. From the attacker to the defender.

But there is no way, the other party's horseback troops are too powerful, not opponents. If you can't hit it, you can't hide in the camp, the other side will set fire, and rockets will continue to whizz over. It is only here in the mountains that those who ride horses have no advantage.

He has already sent someone back to the Jiuli tribe to report, stay here first, and wait for the news of the leader of Chiyou, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

It's all the moon's fault, and tonight it's pitch black, and there's not a glimmer of light on the whole mountain.

In the middle of the night, Wu Dashan and his subordinates had already fallen asleep, only a few guards on duty were squatting there, squinting, really sleepy and didn't dare to be lazy, because they were cut a few last night, and the blood in the big pool was still there.

"This hellish weather, it's so cold, and it's still windy, if only I could bake the fire." One of the guards couldn't help but stand up, bounce his body, and walk in place for a few steps to warm up.

The god of luck favored him, and the dream came true immediately.

Suddenly, he was stunned, and there were fires in several places. After experiencing the camp being spared by the enemy, he came to his senses and immediately called the police loudly.

alarmed the entire camp in the mountain, Wu Dashan and his subordinates were already frightened by the fire, and they encountered it sadly.

"Pick up your arms, follow me, and run from here." Wu Dashan organized his subordinates and retreated from the other side.

I heard the sound of arrows in the sky, "Ah, run," and people were being killed by the arrows that came at them. Now the team is even more panicked, and they are all fleeing in a panic. I just feel that there are ambushes everywhere, and I don't know where to run.

"There's no attack here, run from here." Some of the clever soldiers found a way out, so everyone ran in that direction, and some of their weapons were lost. In this extraordinary period, it is a big deal not to lose your life.

More and more soldiers followed, running in that direction, ignoring the wounded lying on the ground in front of them, and trampling on them. Some people thought that the one in front of them was running too slowly, so they directly raised their spears and stabbed them, stabbing a way out.

On this night of death, the enemy killed and wounded many people only from within.

The fire on the mountain spread quickly, and with the help of the wind, it swept through the entire mountain. Many of them fled to the foot of the mountain, and when they were shouting luck in their hearts, they didn't dare to stop, and kept running in the direction of the Jiuli tribe.

They don't know what it means to be surrounded by three queyi, and it looks like a living road here, but it's not.

"Ah, there's a thorn in the ground."

"Somebody can save me and pull me out."

The reconnaissance platoon set up a lot of traps in this area, and there were deep pits, in which sharp spears were inserted. There are also barbs, which are inserted directly into the ground, densely packed, with the aim of dragging the enemy.

Running here, their steps were much slower, and they all knew that there were traps around them. At this time, a team appeared in front of them, and it was the warriors of the warrior tribe. Spears in their hands are lined up

Rows of people stood there with murderous intent on their faces, threatening them.

And not far from both sides, there were also cavalry slowly coming, holding bows and arrows, looking coldly at these fleeing enemies. Wu Dashan hid in the team and watched, there was no way to run, all three sides were surrounded, and it was impossible to run back, the mountain fire was still burning, so he had to go back to eat barbecue.

When the whole team was panicking, they heard the shouts from the surrounding troops: "Surrender or kill, drop your weapons." Surrender without killing, drop your weapons. ”

Say it earlier, it will be very shameless to take the initiative to lose it. It's better to throw it away after you say it. Some soldiers muttered inwardly and happily raised their hands in surrender.

The rest of the way is to escort the prisoners back to the base camp as usual, and if the battlefield should be cleaned, hurry up and clean it up, after all, a lot of materials can be reused.

After everything here was arranged, Hong Shan hurriedly bid farewell to the leader of Houhu and rushed towards the Huangzi tribe with all the cavalry team.

Of course, a platoon of cavalry was left here as usual to guide, train and patrol the surrounding hundreds of miles.
