Chapter 168 An unexpected fighter
It was indeed quite chaotic. Even Di Qing, a veteran soldier who had been in the battlefield for many years, had never seen such a scene.
This hasn't even been fought yet, and it just collapsed like this?
Can they not be defeated? Think about their behavior after entering Annan, plus the muskets, gunpowder shells and tiger squatting cannons they had never seen before. Not to mention the soldiers telling each other, even the generals were confused and had no idea.
How to prevent.
If the horses can't be controlled and the soldiers can't get close, how can we fight this battle?
Therefore, when the Song Army in Guangyuan Prefecture also dropped gunpowder bombs, General Annan already knew very well that the reason why the Song Army went through so much trouble was to eat these 30,000 troops... which was basically achieved.
The key is that they are worried about bringing the eldest prince here.
When the soldiers began to flee, the eldest prince's guards became anxious. In fact, the eldest prince was also anxious, so he simply gave in and followed the guards and began to flee.
"Someone has done something bad!"
Zhao Xi expected that the Annan army would collapse, but he did not expect that the Nong people would be so brave...
After planning for so long, he continued to stir things up in the Annan territory, and kept adding pressure on the Annan army. His purpose was to keep the eldest prince.
It's a pity that in this scene, nearly 100,000 people are chasing each other in this valley.
The gunpowder cartridges were useless, the Crouching Tiger Cannon could not be fired, let alone the muskets. In the end, I settled on close combat...
This place is much more familiar to both the Annan soldiers and the Nong people than the soldiers of Wang Division.
Out of fear of gunpowder bombs, Annan's army quickly burrowed into the mountains once they broke away from the entanglement, while the Nong people desperately pursued them into the mountains.
Not long after, Master Wang was the only one left in the entire valley.
"Your Highness, a great victory, a great victory!"
A big win? It can be considered a big win. Although it failed to achieve the expected goal, it should still be considered a big win.
A country that has always been defeated by its enemies can also defeat its enemies.
These are not the mountain people of the Nong tribe, these are serious soldiers from Annan who have experienced war!
Therefore, Yu Jing is very excited. This battle can definitely bring peace to Guangnan for a hundred years!
The people were not stupid. After a while, Master Wang cleaned up the battlefield and they all came back.
Not only did they come back, they also directly changed into the Annan Army's outfit. If it hadn't been for the squeaking calls, they would have been ready to throw gunpowder bombs.
Nong Zhiqing followed Zhao Xi and the others obsequiously... If I had known that Annan was so easy to fight, I wouldn't have provoked the Song Dynasty! Nong Zhigao's hammer!
There are always those who are blind, especially the Nong people, who have not received much education. This time the harvest is quite big, comparable to the disaster in Guangnan.
Therefore, someone close came to report to the leader...
Zhao Xi saw this man dressed as an Annan soldier...
"Commander Di, if Annan's soldiers fled, where is the most unlikely city?"
"Gaobang..."
When Di Qing said this, his eyes widened.
"Your Highness, it can be done!"
Fighter opportunities are not static, they are more determined by the coach.
Therefore, Master Wang gathered again and aimed at Gaobang City.
This is a play, a play for self-entertainment.
Gaobang was besieged twice and attacked twice. It was already in a state of panic.
In the last attack, there were many breakthroughs, but no reinforcements were invited.
At this time, the newly dispersed Annan Army thought that Gaobang had been lost, while the defenders of Gaobang thought that Guangyuan was fighting fiercely.
Then, Guangyuan was defeated, so the defeated soldiers would flee to Gaobang...
Three or four thousand Nong people who had captured Annan's soldiers were running in front, followed by an army of 30,000 people chasing after them.
Needless to say, the Nong people are not a military force in the first place, and there is no formation when running. Even if they are told that they are going to attack Gaobang, they will still run in a blur.
In this way, standing on the wall of Gaobang, you can see that the Song army is chasing and killing its own soldiers.
Looking at the distance, the Song army still had a while. So the city gate was opened, and even the defeated soldiers could enter the city, and together with the city's defenders, they would have a supply of food and grass, and they would have no problem holding on for three or two months.
By then, the reinforcements from Sheng Long Mansion should have arrived.
It's a pity that the people they let in were Nong people...
The city was very lively, but Zhao Xi would not allow Master Wang to enter the city.
He could imagine the current situation in the city. War has always been cruel. Since Annan instigated Nong Zhigao to cause trouble in Guangnan, Zhao Xi didn't mind letting Nong people cause trouble to Annan.
He just looked at it.
Nong Zhiqing's eyes twitched, the people fighting in the city were all his own people.
The Song army numbered tens of thousands, and they could attack directly and capture Gaobang simply and directly with an absolute advantage, but His Highness the Crown Prince just watched his clansmen fight with Annan.
This grudge has been settled. Whether it is the Song Dynasty or Annan, the people of Nong have grudges.
The only difference is that Song Dynasty and Annan had different ways of dealing with hatred.
Many years ago, there was an incident because Nong Cunfu refused to accept Annan's oppression. As a result, Annan's eldest prince led the army and almost wiped out Nong Cunfu's family.
This time, Nong Zhigao was instigated by Annan and caused trouble to Guangnan because Annan spared him a favor and repeatedly requested to annex the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty's resentment was only against the principal criminal, while Annan's resentment was against the entire Nong clan.
What's more, the appeasement envoy promised to give the Nong people a way to survive and even live in Yongzhou...
Nong Zhiqing thought about it and knew what to do.
Zhao Xi and the others entered the city, because it had been a while since Nong Zhiqing entered the city, and the hustle and bustle in the city seemed to have stopped.
Nong Zhiqing was waiting at the city gate, but he didn't dare to talk to Zhao Xi, so he pointed out to Yu Jing where the government office and the grain and grass warehouse were.
The meaning was very clear, just to tell Yu Jing that he would not let his tribe touch these two places.
This Nong Zhiqing is a good person and knows his interests. The key is that, except for being frightened by Nong Zhigao and having to send his clansmen, he did not go to Guangnan to cause harm.
"Bachelor, you should honor what you promised. Thirty percent of the loot, except for the weapons, will be left to the Nong clan."
There are still uses for people, there are still uses for others.
Zhao Xi can't do that kind of massacre and genocide, and Guangnan's Anding can't do that kind of thing either. They should find a way to make use of the not insignificant power of the Nong people.
Originally Guangyuan was wavering between the two countries, so this time, Zhao Xi wants to decide Guangyuan... that belongs to Guochao.
As long as Yongping Village is a border camp that is in name only, Langsong still needs to be captured.
Therefore, Wang Shi did not stay in Gaobang for long, and arranged for Gaobang's garrison and the Guangyuan camp to stay behind, and set out the next day.
It is also the Nong people who are the pioneers.
This time, instead of walking into the mountains and forests, Zhao Xi found that he had to follow the same path as Annan's army and move along the valley...
What he can do, the enemy may not be able to do. Zhao Xi does not dare to be careless.
After discussing with Di Qing, Yu Jing and others, the tens of thousands of soldiers who originally went deep into the enemy's rear continued to walk through the mountains and forests.
Lang Song did not let Nong people disguised as Annan soldiers sneak in like Gao Bang did.
Several groups of stupid Nong people rushed to the city wall of Langsong and were impaled to death by rolling logs, stones, crossbows and arrows.
