Chapter Twenty-Nine
The light cavalry swept all the way, all of them like bamboos. A large number of thieves are scattered all over the country, and they cannot organize effective resistance at all, and some people who try to hide in the homes of the people and pretend to be thieves have also been beaten to death by the people who volunteered to fight with you and me with a leg.
The common people are like this, the bandits are coming, and the officers and soldiers have no ability to resist, so they will endure it for the time being and watch the wind. As long as there is a defeat on either side, it will step on it fiercely. If you step on a foot at such a time, you can get the money stolen from these robbers, not to mention, maybe you can also make a name for yourself, and you may even get a reward.
The word of mouth of the people is always the fastest, and even when the light cavalry of the cold light and the spies of the bandits have not yet conveyed the information to the next city, there is a word of mouth that spreads to the homes of the people of that city, and countless people are moved by the wind, and they come out with hoes and kitchen knives, and cut down on him when they see a person who has a hate......
In a short time, in some cities, the thieves were driven away by the powerful forces of the people who had organized themselves spontaneously, but new problems arose. Many people have taken advantage of this opportunity to identify the enemy to kill, with the first family, there will be a second family, and many people usually have enemies. As a result, a small-scale brawl turned into a large-scale group brawl......
For a time, the blood in the city flowed like a river, not the blood of the thieves who took down the evil, but the blood of the residents who acted like small citizens......
Hanguang was powerless to stop it at this time, so he had to leave a small number of troops to guard the gate when he didn't arrive at such a city, so as not to let the common people continue to spread this idea of taking advantage of the chaos to fight...... Then he continued to march towards Songcheng with a large army.
On the way to Songcheng, there were many large and small towns, but none of them organized effective resistance, and those people were scattered and undisciplined, and every place was swept by the cold light army like a bamboo.
10,000 light cavalry, fighting until now, there has been no death. In addition to the 1,000 people scattered around the country, Hanguang now has 9,000 people and the elite of the Zhenlian caravan around him.
Hanguang needs to use these forces to fight a quick blitzkrieg, a quick counterattack that the enemy didn't even expect to break through so quickly. There is no information, no analysis of the damage and occupation of the city, and the cold light can be said to be walking on the edge of the cliff.
There is no information to prove how many bandits were in the original Plucking Cliff, and in this regard, Hanguang can only reach Songcheng to see the defense of Songcheng.
Matsujo, as a battleground for soldiers, only needed 20,000 men to block an attack of 50,000 men. The 10,000 people who stayed in Songcheng City cooperated with various defense weapons and the help of the people, and there was no problem in defending the siege of 20,000 or 30,000 people.
At this time, the upper and lower parts of Songcheng City were still in a fierce stalemate, and the battle had reached a fever pitch, and the two sides participating in the station were all fighting with all their might.
It's just that under the North Gate, an army of about 10,000 people has not moved since it left here, and every four people have carried a large box, which has never been opened.
This is a visible battle, and an undercurrent is surging in Songcheng City - the slogan played by the other party is to solve the hatred about the Zhenlian caravan, so the whole city is also frantically looking for the people of the Zhenlian caravan, hoping that after handing over the Zhenlian caravan, those troops can withdraw and not enter Songcheng. And many more are using this incident to eradicate dissidents.
It is often seen that on the street, a team of people walking. Suddenly, a pair of centaurs popped out and said, "I know you, your XX of XX has done business (had a relationship) with XX of Zhenlian Caravan, so I want to subdue you on behalf of the people of the whole city!"
It is illegal for ordinary people and organizations to fight privately, but after using this reason, they will not be punished by the law at all. Besides, the people of the Yamen have already gone up to the city wall to defend the city, and they will not know how to enforce the law on the city wall......
Under the city, in a military tent.
A bandit-bearded man in leather armor said to the man in white who was sitting on a chair reading a book leisurely: "Great boss, brother with good ears said that he has heard a lot of cavalry coming, great boss, should we take the ......city first?"
The man in white slowly put down the book in his hand, smiled, and said, "The third child, the third child, don't worry...... Don't worry!, let them rush over, our thing is more advantageous under the city......"
As he spoke, the three masters also smiled treacherously and said nothing......
Hanguang's army finally drove to five miles below Songcheng City to rest.
Far away, Hanguang could already see that there was still a battle here, and there was still a fight, which meant that Songcheng had not yet been captured.
Hanguang breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and personally took the hundred people of the Zhenlian caravan to the pine forest city to inquire about the situation. Naturally, they also noticed the more than 10,000 people.
Hanguang vaguely guessed that it was a secret weapon, and it should be a weapon that could kill a wide range of people or specifically restrain a certain type of troops.
"Master Han, this matter all originated from us, because of us, because of us, because we caused the people of these dozens of cities to suffer. Therefore, it should be us who go into battle today to kill the enemy and shed blood. Let's rush to kill for a while, no matter what he is, at least we are in a state of mind. With our strength, it is more than enough to disrupt their formation, and the rest will be left to you. One of the people from the Zhenlian caravan said.
Hanguang nodded first, then shook his head, and said, "I really need you to go up and kill now, but not from the front......"
Hanguang paused, and said solemnly: "Pass my order, three thousand cavalry enter the city from the south gate, which has not been attacked by the enemy, the south gate is open, and you should pass through it quickly." Remember, stop as soon as you reach the city gates, and don't go into the city. From outside the moat, go around the east gate and attack the enemy at the east gate.
Three thousand light horsemen are on standby at the west gate, and two thousand light horsemen are on standby at the east gate.
The attacks at the south gate and the west gate were launched at the same time. When it was time to attack, the Zhenlian caravan of 100 men and 1,000 light cavalry went straight to the foot of the northeast city to prevent reinforcements from unknown troops in the north, where the enemy army was strongest. 1,000 light horsemen were killed when they encountered the enemy, and quickly rushed into the enemy's formation. The hundred men of the Zhenlian caravan quickly rushed and slaughtered, and I was fiercely inserted into the army of 10,000 people. The men of the east gate slaughtered all the enemy troops at the east gate first."
After all the orders were passed down, the slightly slackened cold light showed some imperceptible confidence and smile.
This ploy is simple and simple, and it is just a matter of striking at the west. But this is a winning ploy. This confidence comes from the strong mobility of the light cavalry and the "momentum" and strength of the defenders inside the city, and even the 50,000 infantry on the periphery who are "rushing quickly" towards Songcheng!
Under the advantage of the strength and the initiative, although the innate victory is very large, the expectation of other people's hole cards and the expectation of victory makes Hanguang still very excited.
This was the first battle commanded by Han Guang, the only commander in the Kamikaze Continent who could control the forces of the entire continent in the future...... It's tragic, and it's also terrifying......
