As soon as Liu Daogui finished speaking, he only heard the direction of the rear army. From the northwest, a burst of smoke and dust rolled in. It was not too big. It seemed that there were thousands of people and horses coming from five miles away. In front of them
, there were more than a thousand people who looked like common people, running desperately. Captain Asiba's expression changed: "Is this, is this the attack of the black robe? Why do I feel, I feel like I am chasing the common people.
ah."
Liu Daogui murmured to himself: "Don't the black robes really want to attack? Looking at this posture, it seems that the bandits and soldiers who have robbed the village are chasing the people. It doesn't seem like they are going to attack.
It looks like a big attack formation."
Having said this, he gritted his teeth and turned to the two messengers who had been waiting on the commander's stage and said: "You must go to the rear army quickly to send the order, and let General Tan strictly guard the position. No one is allowed to enter the formation, no matter the common people."
Even the pursuing enemy troops are not allowed to enter the formation!"
The two messengers quickly saluted and left, ran down the command platform, mounted two fast horses, and headed straight for the rear army. Captain Axiba said: "Brother Daogui, Brother Zunkao just led a thousand armored cavalry.
When we go out into battle, do we want them to give it a try and send a few hundred cavalry to attack the thieves who are chasing behind them and save these people?"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "I don't think it's necessary. This is a battlefield. It's quite strange that so many people are suddenly being chased here by demon thieves. The cavalry from Zunkao were dispatched only after the decisive battle. Now
It is not suitable to go into battle. As long as we hold the rear army's gate and cannot get out, they can't do anything to our army. If ordinary bandits saw the army here, they would have been scared away and would not dare to continue to pursue them.
,if…………"
Captain Asiba suddenly understood: "If they are chasing very close, it means there is a fraud involved, and we cannot be fooled. We should shoot arrows to drive them away."
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "You have exactly the same idea as me. Daoji is in the rear army and should be able to stabilize the situation. We will wait and see whether the black robe's attack really starts from the rear army!"
Jin army, rear army, an archery tower in the formation.
General Tan Daoji was robed and armored, standing on the archery tower. Zhu Lingxiu and Hu Longshi were on the left and right of him. The three of them all looked outside the formation. As generals who have experienced battles for a long time, they all have very good eyesight.
The situation inside and outside can be seen at a glance. There are more than a thousand people in sight, about half of whom are women and children. They are running around desperately, screaming, and falling behind, some pushing wheelbarrows.
Or the villagers and common people who were carrying the burdens, in order to cover the escape of these old, weak, women and children, abandoned their cars one after another, picked up their poles, and fought with the hundreds of bandits who were chasing after them.
These bandits who were left behind were all unkempt and had no military appearance at all. Their clothes were similar to those of beggars. They were not uniformly dressed like the Tianshi Dao army. Most of the weapons in their hands were
Broken knives and wooden spears are far from sophisticated equipment, but it is easy to kill these people. After all, they still have big blades and spears in their hands. It is still difficult to deal with the villagers who only have poles and hoes in their hands.
Have the upper hand.
Zhu Lingxiu saw two villagers turn around and fight with three or four bandits, and they were felled to the ground within a few rounds. The two bandits frantically slashed at the bodies of the two villagers, while the other two chased them.
The two women who got into the village were trying to protect them. One of the women was holding a child. Seeing her husband die behind her, she burst into tears, but she did not dare to stop and continue holding her child.
The child ran forward, but within two steps, two robbers caught up with her. They first snatched the child from her arms, threw it to the ground in front of her, and stabbed her to death. The other robber laughed loudly.
He picked up the crying woman, put it on his shoulders, and ran back. The two bandits who had killed him before turned the cart that the two villagers were pushing and pushed it backwards.
If you talk about killing people and selling goods, this gang of people acted it out on the spot.
Zhu Lingxiu was so angry that she punched the railing of the arrow tower and said loudly: "Brother Daoji, I, I can't stand it. Seeing these people being hunted down by these bastards, we, as soldiers, are here.
I can only stare at it, is this ridiculous? Please give me five hundred, no, three hundred men and horses. I will go out and defeat these thieves!"
Tan Daoji shook his head: "Lingxiu, don't be impulsive. This is a battlefield, and we are the rear army. The fighting is so fierce in the front, and here in the rear army, these common people who are being hunted and killed, and these bandits suddenly appear again, don't you
Do you think it’s weird? Our mission is to hold this place firmly. If our army wins this battle, the bandits and bandits nearby will be put down!"
Hu Longshi gritted his teeth and pointed forward: "Brother Daoji, we usually listen to you, but this time, those who are being hunted down are the people of nearby Jingzhou. I have been to the Horse Head Fortress several times before.
I have also been to Wulindu, and I know some of the villagers nearby. I recognized a dozen of the people who were running away in front. They were villagers from nearby Daze Village. The old man running in front was actually
The head of Daze Village, Wei Liujin."
Tan Daoji's expression changed, and he looked in the direction of Hu Longshi's finger. A white-haired old man in his sixties was sitting on a wheelbarrow. A strong man who looked like his two sons was pushing the wheelbarrow behind him.
, the other pulled the cart in front and ran forward desperately, while two women holding children followed closely behind. Around him, fifty or sixty villagers gathered, all supporting the elderly.
They are young, but it seems that the bandits behind them are less than a hundred paces away and they will catch up soon.
Tan Daoji gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Now we can't go out casually to avoid being plotted by the demon thieves. If ordinary bandits see the army, they will not dare to approach, but if the demon thieves have any tricks or tricks, I think
Pretend to be bandits, drive the villagers close, and then break into the formation while we are picking up the villagers. Then we will continue to move forward. We might as well test it out and order the soldiers guarding the formation in front to shout in unison and beat drums to cheer. I want to
Scare these bandits away."
Zhu Lingxiu said anxiously: "Brother Daoji, if you don't go out to save people, these people will not survive. Those are our people in Jingzhou. As soldiers, if we can't even protect the people and watch them being killed without caring,
You will lose the hearts of Jingzhou people in the future!"
Tan Daoji said word for word: "Only by winning today's battle and holding our position can we carry out my military orders in the future. Anyone who dares to move out of the battle will be killed!"
