Chapter 112: Gather and Annihilate
Baji led the main force of the steppe cavalry to pursue, and the weak remnants of the camp were quite safe for the first half of the day, each battalion sent several patrols, and the others lay in tents to rest. The news soon spread throughout the camp, Balang was young and unqualified, and could not restrain the few commanders who had been left behind due to his injuries, and watched them take people away, and sat down behind the low table, the tribes could not share the prosperity and prosperity of the tribulations, and the militant faction led by Mumur let the eldest brother forcibly suppress the stupid idea of a full-scale attack, but later reaped the benefits of the attack like a game, and heard that the students had fled, greed drowned out reason, and deliberately ignored the fact that the students had not been defeated。
"Even if Dugu Ying loses the striker, her Chinese army can only be said to be retreating, how can the defeated soldiers who fled not even detect the abnormality in advance by the scouts. More than 20,000 pursuers lost their unified command, and the soldiers killed a horse gun or an ambush, and most of them were afraid that they would be buried in the ruse, hoping that the prestige of the eldest brother could play a role at a critical juncture, and he would bring the tribesmen back to the camp safely. ”
Balang felt that the milk wine was bitter, threw away the wine bowl and explained, the centurion disagreed, the cavalry pursued in the grassland, where can the student soldiers set up an ambush, and it is even more difficult to believe in the return of the horse gun, and the whole team will return to fight again in the defeat, it is purely delusional to have no good generals and elite soldiers, if the student soldiers have this ability, they would have eliminated the tribal camp a long time ago, and there is no need to pretend to retreat to win by trickery.
"Believe it or not, don't leave the camp easily, guard the camp, if the eldest brother pursues something, I am in charge, and everyone has a share. ”
The reason for staying behind was difficult to convince the public, and Barang could only throw out heavy profits, and the centurion turned his annoyance into joy, and did not mention leading his troops to leave the camp to participate in the search.
Barang was in fear for the whole day, but there was no sign of danger, and from time to time a squad came back from the front, and the horses were loaded with military supplies abandoned by the cadets along the way, and the booty was unloaded for horses, and he could not wait to chase after them.
The remaining commanders led people to have a great harvest in the camp of the soldiers, the military tent buried weapons, food, medicine and other materials shallowly, many boxes on the iron locks intact, after inspecting a few boxes, the commanders were afraid of missing the opportunity, let others find the treasure first, drink the order of the subordinates who knew the Qinghui text according to the name of the box lid to register and make a book, leading people to continue to pull into the camp, most of them were busy looking for a new burial point.
Half a day, the thousands of people left behind rummaged through the student camp, even the trenches did not let go, convinced that they could no longer find the benefits, only to feel hungry and growling, has been busy hunting treasures, long forgotten that there is such a thing as eating, the commanders laughed and scolded and left the student camp, some people were afraid of being left behind, so they simply set fire to the remaining broken camp tents, they could not find it, and others did not want to pick up the cheap.
"Let's go, go back to drinking, call that coward of Barang, and for the sake of not interfering with everyone's wealth, each of them will give him some loot, hahaha. ”
The camp of the cadets was blazing, the tribal tents were shouting and drinking, there were thousands of commanders taking the lead, who was willing to patrol in the cold wind, and the soldiers who stayed behind were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night under the stimulation of fine wine and meat, and they drank staggeringly one by one, and kept fighting in their mouths about who gained the most.
Balang couldn't wipe away his feelings, participated in the banquet, as soon as he left, his centurions were all red-eyed, did not get the benefits, could not watch others drink and eat meat and blow the cold wind, the camp soon wafted out the aroma of wine and meat, and when Balang got rid of the invitation to drink all night, the guards returned to the camp with gifts on war horses, and the tent was full of half-drunk subordinates, who forcibly held back their anger and distributed the gifts to the centurions, and arranged for the guards to be patrols in desperation.
More than ten miles away from the tribal camp, the head of the standard camp looked at the fire that was gradually extinguishing, and his old face smiled.
"The ninth standard, Lao Tzu endured it for decades, and finally raised his eyebrows, you listen, other standard teams are not too strict to demand, Ling Bo standard battalion directly takes the main battalion, who dares to let go of one, at least thirty military sticks, indiscriminate killing of one is also thirty military sticks, it is best to capture all of Lao Tzu alive. ”
The head of the standard camp is short and weak, holding a long-handled broadknife in his hand, waving it with one hand while speaking, bringing the cold light of the debut in the dark night, the four standard commanders dare not look at him, and remind him not to touch the old man's knife edge in the bottom of his heart, and the punishment must be aggravated when returning to the standard team.
At dawn, the only few patrols in the tribal camp also slipped into the tent to make up for sleep, looking at the camp tent with black lights and blind fire, the instructor who led the team to touch the sentry crawled on the grass and was stunned, whether it was empty or the enemy had an ambush, and there was not a single sentry in the camp of Nuoda, this thing was too strange, the grass around the battalion was crawling with student guards, and the head of the standard battalion received the report that his body moved like the wind against the grass, and he saw the scene in front of the camp gate inexplicably, the scout stared at the camp yesterday, and the enemy did not slip away, this is the trick that was played.
A guard who pulled off his mask put his head on the grass and listened quietly for a while, and then entered the camp after a few flashes of figure, and when he was young, he came out and drew a few words in the palm of the head of the standard camp, so angry that he jumped up and scolded in a low voice: "Drunk? Let Lao Tzu find someone to vent his anger, and he was stunned and waiting for the reward, rushed in, and tied up Lao Tzu and guarded it strictly, his grandmother's head, this great achievement is really shameless to receive." ”
The student guards rushed into the camp, the resistance was minimal, an hour later, the various standards and teams reported the results of the battle, none of the enemy ran away, all were captured alive, more than 3,000 captives only a few dozen were slightly injured in the resistance, most of the others woke up from a good dream and became prisoners, the funny thing is that there are still hundreds of people who have not woken up from wine after tying their hands and feet, and they are still shouting and chasing in their dreams when they are prisoners.
"Old man, why do I feel really old, is this a war? Thousands of people were captured like this, and the discarded materials were left untouched to re-recognize the master, these girls are better than you. ”
The head of the standard battalion was on fire and wandered around the tent, losing hundreds of lives during the march, holding his stomach, but he was not injured in the real fight, he ran all over the battalion with a long knife, but he did not find the enemy worthy of the shot, strictly speaking, when he arrived, the student soldiers were already counting the number of people.
The masked guard took off his helmet, it was the former Leopard Captain Hua Zifei, listening to the complaints of his old friend, his face was full of smug smiles, and he waved his pen on the table, and a line of big characters made the head of the standard camp even more depressed.
"There are no weak soldiers under the strong general, from your pen, Lao Tzu feels a little ironic, five female babies, one is your proud apprentice grandson, and the two are also considered to be their own family, it seems to be praising me, hehe, this is called touting and self-praise, but Lao Tzu is still very happy, no matter what, they are all students from my Ling Bobiao battalion, and you don't dare to openly compete with Lao Tzu, hahaha. ”
The old man sat behind the table and kept writing, and when he was young, he handed the paper full of words to the director of the standard camp, with pictures and words on it, and the key points were simple and clear.
The day was bright, the battalions received orders to concentrate the prisoners, the patrols wore the clothes of the steppe cavalry, and from time to time shouted a few curses in the local dialect, and the soldiers in the camp walked back and forth, and the smell of wine and meat wafted out with the wind.
Reinforcements from various tribes came one after another, and when they saw the camp of the cadets that had burned the fire to ashes, the leader of the team had red eyes, and deliberately slowed down the speed of galloping, wanting to wait for both sides to lose and make a big profit.
There are many or few reinforcements, most of the tribes are just a team of 100 people, and they can't get out of the Baji camp again, and they have successively sent thousands of prisoners to the students, and when a thousand commanders sent by a big tribe notice the abnormality, they don't wait to pull out their waist knives and let the head of the standard battalion punch away, thousands of cavalry poured out from each battalion, and the reinforcements who dismounted outside the camp to rest looked at the leaders with the knives on their necks, no one commanded and no one took the lead, and they stalemate for less than half an hour, and jumped off their horses and surrendered in shame.
In one day, the head of the standard battalion did not move, the tribal reinforcements or hit or cheat, the brilliant results made him unbelievable, more than 10,000 prisoners, there were seven or eight commanders alone, looking at tens of thousands of horses, the standard commanders crooked their mouths, the heavy infantry slept at night and talked in their dreams, Lao Tzu no longer had to march on foot, and finally had horses to carry armor.
The next day, the head of the standard battalion led 10,000 cavalry to leave the camp, leaving thousands of students and guards, and continued to pretend to be tribal generals, so that the remaining standard commander unconditionally obeyed Hua Zifei's command.
After Mei Ying broke off with 5,000 cavalry, he was divided into five teams to open the distance, and the pursuers fought and fled, and the grassland cavalry caught up after half a day, seeing that the enemy was in front of him, he just couldn't catch up and eliminate, how did he know that Mei Ying's five teams of cavalry left the camp in order, and they changed people and horses while running, and they were always waiting for work, and the last team of people set off to catch up with the light infantry, and a team of people behind the palace were still playing games with the chasing forwards.
The soldiers retreated for hundreds of miles, and everywhere they passed were discarded armor and weapons, Yu Wenjie was whimsical, and even the war drums and military flags were discarded when he was about to reach the destination, and the guard team of 1,000 people was left with only Mei Ying's phoenix flag, and the soldiers were not fully armored, and some people did not even have blades on them, and the steppe cavalry forwards were all dressed up, all of them rode armor and spears, and the leaders above the centurion had never seen exquisite janissaries in their lives, wearing them on their bodies to show off their might, precious trophies, and they were not at ease to hand them over to others and send them back, tied to the back of the war horse, and their vigilance gradually dissipated as the pursuit distance was lengthened, and the speed became slower due to more and more captures。
The prairie continued to stage an absurd scene, the fleeing student soldiers were not neatly dressed but the formation was scattered but not chaotic, the chasing grassland cavalry team gradually lengthened, when Baji led four thousand elite soldiers to catch up with Mu'er and others, the four thousand commanders looked at the rich capture of the forward, and from time to time aimed their eyes at Baji, all wanted to catch up and share a mouthful of hot soup, even Baji himself made the student soldiers confused, the tail pursued for more than 100 miles, and the scout sentinel probed the two wings for dozens of miles, and did not even find the shadow of an ambush.
Baji wanted to keep the pursuers in formation, but he was unable to carry out the decision, and the bold starved to death the cowardly, the people in front made a windfall, who was willing to follow behind to pick up bits and pieces, out of his main force, the other more than 20,000 cavalry chased each other in the prairie, the scene became more and more chaotic in the scramble, and even the commanders were difficult to gather the team, the centurions became smart, and they didn't want to let the commanders strip away the best trophies, and they deliberately took people out of their own teams, and the soldiers and generals were mixed together, so that the heralds couldn't find the target for half a day, and couldn't go back to resume their lives, so they simply gave up the task to pick up ready-made。
Chased out dozens of miles, the materials discarded by the soldiers gradually decreased, but became more valuable, Baji's vigilance finally diminished, an order under the four thousand light cavalry quickly chased the forward, the thousand people surrounded the four areas, arranged a team of people to prevent other tribes from approaching, the rest of the people jumped off the horse to pick up the treasure, hugged the full arms only to find that the one not far away was more useful, throw down the garbage in the arms to rob, the main cavalry chased and picked up, less than two hours to harvest richly.
Although Mu Muer and others were not satisfied with Baji's domineering, no one dared to openly reason with him, holding their breath and rushing forward, and then picking up the spoils after learning from the enclosure, so that the people who arrived later could only continue to run forward, more than 25,000 chasing troops pulled out nearly 20 long, during which the students gathered 3,000 cavalry to kill a horse pistol, killing and wounding more than 1,000 impaired pursuers, and as a result, Baji's main force was surrounded, and there were casualties on both sides in a bloody battle, and the students left hundreds of corpses, highlighting the encirclement and fleeing in embarrassment.
"The lord of the empire, there are no unscrupulous generals under his account, and what a good fighter plane is delayed in vain. “
Baji's only remaining vigilance disappeared, the chasing team was chaotic, the warriors and horses carried supplies, the students gathered 10,000 cavalry, and put out a cone-shaped formation, but it took a few back and forth to rush and kill, so that the pursuers could not form an army, Dugu Ying thought of this trick, but unfortunately the little woman did not have the courage, just sent 3,000 people to kill back suddenly, the pursuers were no longer flexible, and the gap between the forces of nearly ten times was enough to make up for it.
