96. The war in northern Xinjiang
Northern.
With their own prestige, Wu Li and Yi Shang temporarily commanded the earth's soldiers and horses.
Someone stepped forward and proposed: "General, we are about to return to the clan land, it is better to loot, and we can grab some things and go back to spend the winter." ”
Although Hijikata successfully escaped from the hands of the Seven Monsters of Meishan, there were few supplies left.
Fearful of their pursuers, they did not dare to pause in the slightest, let alone plunder nearby towns, even if there was no food.
If you're really hungry, then kill the horse, and as for the people on the horse....
In short, when I hurried here, I was already frightened.
Yi Shang thought about it, it was essential to be cautious during the escape, but now that he was almost home, he could relax a little.
They are familiar with the terrain and climate here, and they don't have to worry about being trapped by the merchant army using the terrain.
And there was no pursuit of the merchant army along the way, maybe the merchant army didn't expect this stubble at all, and finally won the battle, probably celebrating in the city.
"Rob!"
Yi Shang slanted his throat and hissed, if you don't grab something, I'm afraid that more people will die this winter, and even.... Civil strife broke out.
The earth-moving cavalry searched around and found a small village.
The whole army poured in, screaming, and finally able to plunder, maybe there were women!
Thinking of this, many people agitated under their crotches.
"None of them will be left!"
Yi Shangxian ordered, at this time, there is no need to talk about any feelings, the king of Shang betrayed the alliance, sneak attack and killed the leader, and it is impossible for the earth side to negotiate peace with the great council!
Such a shameless and egregious act, we should rob your things and your women!
Thinking of the scene when the king of Xuan tore up the covenant and killed the Marquis of Wu with a sword, Yi Shangxian couldn't help but hate itchy, how could there be such a barbaric and unscrupulous person in this world?
Aren't you afraid of being blamed by 10,000 people?
Even if the earth and ghost are barbarians, the most basic covenant will still be observed!
The earth-moving cavalry dismounted, either in groups of three or five, and rushed excitedly into the house.
"If the merchants send people to chase and kill, even if they can't catch up with us, they can make us exhausted, but they are ridiculous and their eyes are empty, and this revenge will be avenged in the future. Yi Shangxian couldn't help laughing, if it weren't for the merchant's great joy and giving up the pursuit, they would really have to flee back to the north in embarrassment.
A big man with a big shoulder and a round waist rushed into the house alone, and at the same time that he knocked down the door, five long swords were stuck in his body.
When the long sword is withdrawn, it will still rush blood, poof, poof, five times in a row.
The faces of the merchant soldiers in leather armor did not change, and the same thing played out in every room.
The earthmen who rushed into the house were all killed by the sneak attack.
Yi Shang's smile stopped abruptly, looked at the merchant army who rushed out of the house, and gritted his teeth: "If there is a master who betrays morality, there is a shameless teacher...."
"Go, get on the horse, go quickly!" Wu Li shouted, they were already sleepy and lacking in combat effectiveness, and because of the raid, they couldn't suppress their excitement, they all dismounted, and they didn't know the number of opponents, and it was impossible to fight with them.
Running away is the best choice.
If you can hide in the town as a civilian, there must be no horses, and it is impossible for the infantry to catch up with the cavalry.
The merchant army rushed out of the house and fought for a while, at which time Tufang also mounted his horse and fled quickly.
"Don't chase anymore, count the battle damage. Wen Zhong ordered, one ambush was enough, after this time, the earth would never dare to stop again, and just go north to join the Great Wall guards.
He personally probed the earthwork military situation in order to arrange this ambush, the merchant army could not catch up with the earthmoving cavalry, but Mo Qilin was faster than all the horses, as long as he detected the earthwork movement, he could evacuate the villagers in advance and arrange an ambush.
Whoop Woohoo .....
Wu Li and Yi Shang gasped, Chaoge had already lost troops in the first battle, and some losses along the way, and were ambushed again, at this time there were only 40,000 horses left in the earth, and the loss was sixty percent.
"Two generals, ahead is the camp of the Great Wall Guards. ”
Yi Shang squinted his eyes and said, "Find a way to kill them." ”
"Is there any way to do it?" asked Wu Li to go up, it was really unwise to go head-to-head with the Great Wall Guards in this state.
Yi Shangxian thought about it carefully, and said: "The merchant army ambushed us, then we will also ambush them, we can divide a force, the merchant heralds cannot be faster than us, they must not have received the news that we have been defeated, they will only think that there is a small force of earthwork cavalry want to plunder, in this way, we can lure the Great Wall guards to pursue, and then we will rush up, encircle and annihilate them." ”
"Well... Good strategy. Wu Li agreed, taking advantage of the asymmetry of intelligence and the meritorious heart of the guards of the Great Wall.
Wu Li knew that this defender, although he was a soldier, did not have the opportunity to obtain military merits on weekdays, and was called a guard, but in fact, he was only a prisoner of war and a prison of slaves.
Moreover, when they went south, this army did not make any obstacles, which was a dereliction of duty, and in the eyes of the merchants, it should be a great stain.
If they succeed in forcing the Emperor to form an alliance, the army will probably be executed immediately.
The general who thought of this army should be eager to make meritorious contributions, and as long as he saw a small force of earthmoving cavalry, he would not be in a hurry to pursue him.
In this way, Wu Li and Yi Shang slanted three thousand thinner tribesmen, rode thinner horses, and wandered around the Great Wall.
........
The camp of the Great Wall Guards.
Zhao Bing got the information about the horse exploration and asked Su Quanzhong for instructions: "General, there is a team of earthmoving cavalry outside, it seems to be a lone earthmoving soldier and horse, should we .....?"
Zhao Bing's meritorious service is earnest, and when the earthwork goes south, they will not be able to blame him, and they will inevitably be punished.
Su Quanzhong sat quietly in the tent, his mind empty.
It's not that there is nothing, there are only two things in it: repairing the Great Wall and patrolling the frontier for garrisoning, and at most Su Hu's "few words" advice before leaving.
"Don't. ”
Hearing Zhao Bing's proposal, Su Quanzhong said decisively.
Your Majesty didn't let them take the initiative, so they couldn't attack.
Zhao Bing tried to analyze the situation for Su Quanzhong and explain the importance of meritorious service.
"Don't. ”
Concise and to the point, strictly abiding by orders, is the way for Su Quanzhong to be a general after being beaten.
“.....”
Zhao Bing can't help it, don't want it, what else?
Uli and Yi waited for two days.
"The merchants are insidious, and their generals must have been accustomed to all kinds of tricks, so they have seen through our schemes. Yi Shang said fiercely, eager to swallow the camp.
No matter how the earthwork cavalry roamed, even the horses were tired and paralyzed on the ground, and the guards of the Great Wall did not pursue, but still patrolled the Great Wall every day, urging slaves and prisoners of war, as if they had not seen it.
"What should we do now?" Uri couldn't help it.
When he came, because of the sudden attack, he caught the other party off guard, and now the other party is twelve points vigilant, and there will inevitably be a battle.
"Let's rush over directly, the section of the Great Wall where we came has not yet been repaired, even if we fight head-on, the loss will not be too great. ”
Wu Li nodded, he used a trick to trap and kill because he wanted to boost morale, and by the way, he was already secretly subordinate to Yi Shangxie, and after using the strategy to make a record, it would be more conducive to Yi Shangxie to compete for the new leader.
Although they can control the army now, there are many people who are not convinced, not to mention that there are still many people in the tribe who have not gone south, and those people have not experienced a major defeat, and it is easier for them to become the new leaders.
But the merchant general is too cunning to fall for the trick at all, so he can only go back first, anyway, the merchant army can't catch up with them.
