Chapter 37 The Bangladesh Side Volleys
After the war, about 20,000 enemy troops were annihilated, and more than ninety percent of them were annihilated. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The merchant army also lost more than 10,000 people, and such a huge disparity in numbers, coupled with reasonable tactical arrangements, still had such large casualties: the combat power of these merchant troops can be seen.
"Who are you, why do you want to stop the army?" the sergeant was interrogating the captured prisoners of war, and hurriedly saluted when he saw Lin Xing coming.
"Taishi, these people don't speak! I really can't ask for any useful information. ”
Lin Xing swept through the few captives he had caught, all of them looking at death as if they were at home, but there was a trace of panic in one of their eyes. I suddenly understood, and said lightly: "Let's pull it down and cut it down! We don't have extra grain and grass to feed these traitors!"
"What kind of ability is it to rely on the number of people? There are people who have the ability to fight with real guns and real knives!"
I have to say that at this time, people are still very simple, and even fighting is decent: the two armies are in a position, soldier to general, real guns and live ammunition, how can there be a person like Lin Xing, who directly sends troops to charge without saying a word, no wonder he is looked down upon.
"Huh...... Soldiers are not tired of deceit!" Lin Xing smiled lightly and said, "How can the general of the defeated army be brave?"
"Phew!" Several people spat at Lin Xing at the same time, but due to the distance, they didn't spit on his face.
"Pull it down and cut it!" Lin Xing pointed to which one of them was timid just now: "Start with him!"
"Why me?" the man panicked.
"Because I think you hate it!
"Don't kill me, I say, I'll say anything!" Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this soft persimmon really made himself right. If you really don't let go of this, it's really difficult to kill or not.
With his confession, the situation gradually became clear. The army that attacked this time was the men and horses of the Huaiyi and Mengfang, and the main purpose was to prevent the merchant army from going to the people's side. The reason is that the People's side and Bangladesh are adjacent to each other, and it is the allies' anti-business this time, and there is also the shadow of Bangladesh in it.
Through the report of the spies who were far away in Beijing, they learned that the imperial court sent troops to exterminate the people, and they were afraid that they would attack the Meng side by the way after destroying the people, so they intercepted halfway.
After listening to his confession, Lin Xing was furious: "A mere vassal state, with a population of only one million and less than 100,000 troops, dare to be an enemy of the imperial court?
"My lord, I've recruited everything, you can't kill me!"
"I said I wouldn't kill him if I made a move?" Lin Xing forgot when he had said this.
All the generals shook their heads, the Taishi didn't say this sentence yet, he only said that he would kill him if he didn't move, and he wouldn't kill him if he didn't say anything.
"Haha......" The rest of the prisoners of war burst out laughing, "Happy, boy, I admire you." But let's each be our own master, or we can be friends!"
"Well said, all the heroes go all the way!" Lin Xing still admires these tough guys very much. Although he admired it, he didn't open his mouth to surrender, which was an insult to them, and at the same time, he was bored.
After killing a few prisoners of war, Lin Xing turned around and walked into the tent. A sergeant had already submitted the information that had been compiled, including the detailed information of the Bangladesh country, including the distribution of cities, customs and troops.
After reading the information, Lin Xing once again sighed that the vassal state system of the Shang Dynasty was fucked up, just such a place with a big palm, it would be a third-tier city in the later generations, and he dared to call the country here, and he even dared to argue with the heavenly kingdom, and there was no one second only to the Yelang country in Yelang's arrogance, right?
"Order! Today, the three divisions will rest and recuperate, and tomorrow the troops will send Xiangyi to destroy the Meng side first and then make plans!" "The Meng side is the only way to the people, even if they can make a detour, they are always in the throat, and they are afraid of sneaking attacks from behind when they are fighting with the people.
In fact, there is another reason to destroy the Meng side, the civil strife of the people is indeed not a good time to crusade, Lin Xing is afraid that he will be forced too quickly, and the people of the two sides will give up their previous suspicions and then work together to deal with the merchant army.
After all, it doesn't matter whether it is Dapeng or Empress Wei. The two only competed for the leadership position, and neither of them wrote a letter of surrender to the imperial court, expressing their willingness to obey the orders of the imperial court. Lin Xing's plan of discord was only half successful, and the other half had to wait a little longer.
However, this reason cannot be explained to the generals, and it may be suspected of disobeying the will. It is only said that the Meng side is not destroyed, and I am afraid that there will be troubles. I thought that the free people in the army would report the news to the imperial court, and they would save themselves some tongues.
In the early morning of the second day, the men and horses marched all the way to Xiangyi, the capital of Bangladesh.
The leader of the Meng side is the hereditary Marquis of Xiangyang, and he has already received a war report that the imperial army is approaching, and the people who lead the army are scheming and good at fighting.
Knowing that he could not be an enemy, he ordered the people around Xiangyi to retreat into the city overnight with their families and surplus food, and closed the city gate to make a defensive posture.
He sent people to Dongyi to ask for help overnight. He played this abacus very well: if I can beat me, I will fight, and if I can't beat me, I will defend. 100,000 against 100,000, with the city sticking to it, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it?
Defend him for a year and a half, and when the civil war ends or several other parties arrive, the crisis of internal and external attacks can be solved.
I have to say that the Marquis of Xiangyang made the right move, the merchant army came to the city, and Lin Xing also ordered two sieges.
It's a pity that the walls of Xiangyi are tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Both feints ended in failure, except for a few more corpses of merchant soldiers under the walls.
According to Lin Xing's calculations, if you want to break through Xiangyi City, you must have several generations of troops in the defenders.
For the sake of today's plan, it can only besiege it and cut off its food and grass, and after a long time, the city will not be attacked.
"Ordered the third division to camp five miles away from the city, and arranged cavalry patrols to patrol the surroundings of Xiangyi to prevent the enemy from breaking through and asking for help. After arranging these, Lin Xing sent people to scold under the city wall.
The best candidate for the scolding array is naturally his old department, this group of bear children don't know what is called oral virtue at all, what is ugly to scold, they are originally from the market and have rich experience in scolding, and they will not be short of words for a day in a row.
However, the defenders of Xiangyi made up their minds to defend it, no matter how ugly the Shang army's scolding was, they should not be able to hear it. When he was really tired of hearing this, he shot a few arrows at the city with a strong bow, and although he could not hurt anyone, the merchant army did not dare to get too close to the city wall.
"It's so boring!" Zixia thought that fighting a war was a fun thing, but now one can't defend it, and the other doesn't fight, and the stalemate for a few days makes people look really boring.
Mingyue was really bored when she saw her, and she was afraid that she would make another incident in the barracks. So he stepped forward and persuaded him: "Two days ago, the junior brother said that the Penglai Immortal Festival was about to be held, why don't we go and join in the fun?"
"I didn't say it!" Lin Xing was a little stunned, what the hell is the Penglai Immortal Society?
"It was Senior Brother Baihe who said it!" Zixia glanced at him: "Some people feel good about themselves, do you think that we are just such a junior brother as you?"
"That kid from the White Crane is here, why don't you come to see me?" Lin Xing was a little depressed, on top of Mount Tai. also counted the best relationship between the white crane and him, since he came and didn't even meet him, the next time he met him, he had to use this matter to theorize with him, at least a magical power was finalized.
"Senior Brother Bai He is ordered by Our Lady to take care of the affairs of the sect, and things are not as busy as we are!" Mingyue was afraid that Lin Xing would be troubled and persuaded him: "Besides, it is inconvenient to meet you with his identity, and it is afraid of misunderstanding when others see it!"
"Oh! It turned out to be arranged by the master, then forget it!" Lin Xing pretended to be generous.
"Virtue!" Zixia said with a disdainful expression, "Who do you think you are?
As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, indicating that Lin Xing was only the size of a fingernail.
"Forget it!" Mingyue secretly complained to herself, these two people pinched at every turn, and their mouths were worn out every day to persuade them, and they were not tired.
"Anyway, it's cloudy to beat the child, and it's idle to be idle!Why don't we go to Penglai Island to increase knowledge!" "Penglai Immortal Island is a place that Lin Xing has always longed for, and he has been planning to go where to learn art from the beginning, but he hasn't been there until now!
"What do you want?" Zixia sneered: "Penglai Island is thousands of miles away from here, is it possible that we still want to take you there?"
"Senior sister!" Lin Xing's face was full of smiles, and his voice was so sweet that Zixia felt goosebumps all over her body: "You can take me with you!" I haven't been to Penglai Immortal Island since I was so old, I ask Senior Sister to take me to Rising Rise!"
"Forget it!" Zixia was really disgusted by him, and she didn't agree to be afraid that he would make a moth: "Why don't you go to Xiao Penglai, look at your unproductive appearance, you still have to take us for dozens of miles, you don't have long feet yourself?"
"Huh?" This face was embarrassed, and Lin Xing couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. I thought it was Penglai Fairy Island, what the hell is this little Penglai?
