Chapter 233 sneak attack on the pass(1/2)
Next, Gao Shun's army moved down the east side of the Xiang River and wiped out Anxian, Luling, Hengyang, Leiyang and other places.
The rebellions in Changsha and Wuling were quickly put down, leaving the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, bandits, and road bullies in other places to go into hiding.
Gao Shun's army was divided into three teams and swept all the way, wiping out the gangsters hiding in the deep mountains and old forests one by one.
But what?
The road is very difficult to travel, which restricts the movement of the army.
To be honest, this kind of fair trial has no technical content. The gangsters are just a group of bandits and road bullies who gathered to make trouble.
Not even the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army can be mentioned.
The Yellow Turban Army is not enough regular troops to attack, let alone a group of bandits and road bullies. The reason why Qin Qi sent out so many soldiers.
The purpose is to train soldiers, let them see blood, cleanse their souls, and exercise their adaptability.
Don't wait until the war comes and give in one by one.
In response to this situation, Xi Zhong sent 30,000 soldiers and horses into battle in turns, so that the soldiers could have the effect of actual combat training.
Capture Guiyang and hand over the government affairs to Guoyuan, and the army will continue to advance towards the South China Sea, which is a foreign enemy.
Those gathered in the South China Sea are the descendants of Zhao Tuo, the Qin general in the pre-Qin period. They established a country in Jiuzhen and Rinan and broke away from the management of the Central Plains.
Over the years, due to the weakness of the Han Dynasty, indigenous people from Jiuzhen, Rinan and other places often invaded and plundered the Jiaozhou area.
Now, the South China Sea is occupied by Jiuzhenren.
"Report, the Jiuzhen natives gathered in the South China Sea have increased their troops. Currently, more than 30,000 people have gathered in the South China Sea.
The natives built fortifications and placed heavy troops on many passages, hoping to block our army's progress."
Send orders to soldiers.
Gao Shun opens the map.
"Send out scout horses to search closely, catch the indigenous scout horses hiding on the way, and investigate the indigenous defense situation."
Gao Shundao.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
"Sister Xi, what do you think?"
Gao Shundao.
"Jiuzhen was the country founded by Zhao Tuo and knows the fighting methods of the Central Plains people. However, the weapons and equipment in their hands are not very good.
At most, they plundered the weapons from the former Nanhai County soldiers. The weapons and equipment in the hands of our soldiers are better than those of the Central Army.
It's not comparable to the Jiuzhen natives at all. Just prevent being attacked by surprise, don't mind too much and attack boldly."
Xi Zhongdao.
A few days later, Gao Shun's army encountered a pass and blocked the passage. There were 5,000 Jiuzhen native soldiers on the pass.
A forceful attack would cause Gao Shun's army to suffer heavy losses.
A thousand soldiers were sent for several rounds of trial attacks, but a large number of rocks were thrown down from the pass and bombarded, making it impossible for the soldiers to climb up.
Xi Zhong took several personal guards to inspect the situation.
Met two hunters.
"Brother, can I go up the mountain from here?"
Xi Zhongdao.
"You can go up, but the road conditions are very bad."
Hunter recognized the way.
The actor took out some five-baht coins and handed them to Orion.
"Brother, could you tell me the condition of this small intestine trail?"
Xi Zhongdao.
"This is a hunter's trail, or rather not a road. It's just a trail for hunters to go up the mountain to hunt. Most people can't go up there."
Hunter said.
After some small talk, the actor figured out that it was indeed a narrow path leading to the mountain, and the road was not easy to walk.
You can only climb up unless you select a mountain soldier.
"Two young brothers, we are the imperial army. We are here to clear out the Jiuzhen indigenous army gathered in Nanhai City. We will lead the way for our army and we will pay the money."
Xi Zhongdao.
Two local hunters thought about it and agreed.
After all, the Jiuzhen natives burned, killed, and looted in the South China Sea, causing great harm to the people. They were a bunch of beasts.
Xi Zhong took the two hunters back to the military camp.
When Gao Shun learned of the situation, he immediately selected soldiers from the army, especially those with hunter experience.
Five hundred able-bodied soldiers were selected.
"Liao Hua, whether the battle can reduce casualties depends on your sneak attack. We will attack at night two days later. We will cooperate with the action."
Gao Shundao.
"General Gao, don't worry. I promise to complete the mission."
Liao Huadao.
"Get ready! Let's go after dark."
Gao Shundao.
"As you command!"
Liao Huadao.
Under the leadership of two hunters, five hundred soldiers took advantage of the darkness to leave the central army and headed towards the foot of the mountain on the left.
In order not to arouse the vigilance of the Jiuzhen natives, the five hundred soldiers slowly climbed up the mountain under the moonlight without lighting lamps or torches.
The road is very difficult to walk, only large enough for one person to walk alone. Sometimes soldiers need to cut down branches to make it possible.
The further you climb to the top of the mountain, the less obvious the road becomes. If there is no hunter to lead the way, you will lose your way after a short journey.
leopard!
Liao Hua drew out his sword and slashed it out.
Whoosh!
The soldiers shot sharp arrows one after another, and the leopard was instantly shot into a hornet's nest.
After two days of arduous crawling, we finally arrived behind the Jiuzhen natives, where five hundred soldiers were hiding in the dense forest to rest.
The night is quieter and deeper.
A good time to commit murder and arson.
Liao Hua and his party set out, cautiously approaching the Jiuzhen natives one by one.
At this time, the indigenous defenses were relatively lax.
Two indigenous sentinels.
Liao Hua sent four soldiers, who approached the sentry step by step. They leaned forward quietly and covered the mouth of the native with his left hand.
The dagger in his right hand lightly slashed the native's neck.
Make a gesture.
Liao Hua and 500 soldiers continued to move forward cautiously.
One by one, the indigenous sentries were quietly dispatched.
Close to the pass.
There were a thousand native soldiers at the pass. They were leaning against the wall and sleeping, unaware that death was approaching.
Five hundred powerful soldiers quietly entered the pass and hunted the natives, all in silence.
No gun shooters.
puff!
A native died.
Puff puff puff!
After hunting more than 200 natives, the smell of blood was so strong that one of the natives woke up. When he opened his eyes, he found many Xiakou soldiers in camouflage uniforms killing their fellow soldiers.
ah!
