Chapter Ninety-Two: Where the Great Army Goes
The army of Wu'an Hou saw that the fog of Dongting Lake was filled, and it was getting thicker and thicker, and even people could not see it outside a zhang in the fog, and even the compass was out of order.
As a last resort, Wu Anhou formulated a new strategy, abandoned the most powerful ships of the army, and carried out the act of breaking the wrist of the strong man, and took the opportunity to recover the territory of the anti-kings from all walks of life, also because the Dragon King of Dongting Lake chose his son-in-law and summoned all the anti-kings to Shuifu.
In this way, the backbone of the anti-king territory was lost, and the internal dragons were leaderless, and it was the time to attack that they abandoned the ship overnight and implemented the strategy of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle.
Even if the major forces have made arrangements, there must be internal contradictions, and the anti-king who has no internal contradictions has long since died, and there is a family under his command who is independent and has high merits, and there is no anti-king who will let him live one more day.
The way of the emperor is the way of balance, which is the long-term way.
Wu Anhou and the soldiers also knew that dealing with a force with a leader was completely different from a force without a leader.
Sure enough, Wu Anhou led the reserve battalion of the right wing of the Chinese army, and encountered a group of forces within a few dozen miles.
Although preparations were also made, this force did not have more than a thousand soldiers, and as soon as they saw the imperial army, they were in chaos, and Wu Anhou had no intention of destroying them, but just let people shout to the city.
People are always afraid, so they quietly open the city gates, and as soon as the army enters the city, the general situation has been decided, and some people want to resist, but they are also cut with a knife.
Wu'anhou only arranged for 100 people to govern the county, continue to stabilize public order, and only seek stability.
Then the chaotic army of nearly 1,000 people was broken up and reorganized, and these people were allowed to carry dry food for a few days and continue on the road.
The vanguard army and the right wing, under the leadership of the general Yang Ben, also recovered a county, but the soldiers all had traces of war, and the murderous aura formed in the battlefield had filled the entire sky.
It seems that he has just fought, after all, Yang Ben is young and vigorous, brave in force, and although he is stable, he is still not sophisticated enough.
Just because it is necessary to kill a few people with high status, it has caused fierce resistance, who does not have a few brothers in life and death, even if dozens of people come out to call, people who do not know the truth will follow suit, and the scene will be chaotic, and it will be difficult to control.
There is no need to guess the outcome of this battle, it must have been won, these thousands of kamikaze camp soldiers are elite troops in the Great Liang Dynasty, and they were selected by Wu'an Hou from the entire kamikaze camp, and they also have a fight with the emperor's Tianji battalion.
There will always be people who kill the enemy, and hundreds of rebels are all killed, but the kamikaze battalion soldiers also die a dozen, although it is nothing compared to a few thousand people, it is not encountered by themselves.
Behind every soldier there is a family, because of a mistake, which caused this unnecessary casualty, Yang Ben had a kind of self-blame at this time, and also remembered the highest level in the way of soldiers, the soldiers who surrendered without a fight.
Yang Ben was recovering the manpower on the one hand, preventing the manpower from restoring stability, thinking about how to improve it in the future, and set off to the next place with a heavy heart.
......
Wang Yuanfeng traveled all the way south along the way, and at the speed of traveling thousands of miles a day, he arrived at Dongting Lake in three or four hours, and finally saw the abandoned ships in the place where the army was blocked.
The boats were not only in tatters, but also there were people on them, and there were handles, Wang Yuanfeng took a closer look, it was not the kamikaze camp, nor the Dongting Lake forces, but a group of refugees who occupied these boats.
In fact, when the Dragon Monarch of Dongting Lake lost the trace of Wu'an Hou, he had already sent people to look for the traces of the army, but as a demon in the water, if it is a boat that can dive, it may still have some effect, but it can only float on the surface of the boat, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs can only use their own feet, and the gains outweigh the losses.
And the water demon and the like don't understand business, seeing that the imperial army is not there, they chased after the traces of the army's withdrawal, although the soldiers were divided into two roads, but there were thousands of people, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals chased along the place where the army left, but there must be few people, and they did not dare to come forward, so they could only drop out far behind.
Some went to report to Dongting Lake Longjun, and some continued to star.
The army led by Wu Anhou continued to do the thing of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and at this time it had already recovered three pieces of territory and was about to recover the fourth place.
In the camp, Wu Anhou and several generals were looking at a map and arguing fiercely, the first three places were taken down with lightning speed because of the soldiers, but the fourth place was guarded, although the cottage was not big, but it also began to be heavily guarded, and defensive points were set up everywhere.
Although not everyone agrees with this kind of posture, the key is to see who holds the military power, but even if there are many internal contradictions, it is necessary to make this posture.
At this time, the army was divided into two voices, one radical faction, advocating a strong attack, on the grounds that the soldiers were noble and fast, and the other faction was more gentle, ready to persuade them to surrender by persuasion, and in the arrangement of careful rebellion against some people who did not want to have a conflict, when the time came, the inside and outside should be united and take this place.
"Report the ......" was discussing the key points, when suddenly a shout was heard.
Wu Anhou looked up at the outside of the account, a young general with a small banner with a patch on his back stood outside the door, this is the ancient version of the scout, the soldier of the ranger battalion, the patch on his back is lying on the ground, through vibration, sensing the subtle wind and grass around him.
So he said to the outside of the account: "Come in." ”
"Yes. After the scout general entered the tent, he gave a military salute and said, "The third lieutenant of the Youyi battalion has seen the marshal and met the generals. ”
"Is there anything going on around?" Wu Anhou nodded and said, thinking that let them go around and have a look, there should be a result.
"Back to the marshal," the lieutenant said, holding his knife, "the number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals found in the rear of our army has increased from dozens at the beginning to hundreds now, and the number is still increasing. ”
When the rest of the generals heard this, they all had different expressions, some looked eager to try, some fell into contemplation, and some kept rolling their eyes, as if they had thought of some scheme, but they didn't speak, the main general didn't speak, they couldn't speak, this is also the rule in the army, so they do things according to the rules except for discussions.
At this time, Wu An thought for a while, but his face was expressionless, no one knew what he was thinking, and it took a long time before he said to the captain: "Continue to investigate, and report the situation at any time." ”
"Yes. The lieutenant gave a military salute, took three steps back, turned and walked out.
At this time, everyone looked at Wu Anhou and waited for him to speak.
Wu Anhou thought for a while before he spoke, "What do you think about this?"
