Chapter 57, Weakness and Ignorance Are Not Barriers to Survival
He is not afraid of the powerful Lei Gongmen, and he is not afraid of the possibility of death in battle, but he is afraid that the Lei Gongmen have no money at all and are just enjoying themselves for nothing. They come here to fight for money.
And this is what the dozens of horse bandit leaders present are most concerned about. During this period, the news about the Lei Gong Department is true and false. They can't tell which is true and which is false. They can't afford to bet even if it is 10% false.
, after all, Lei Gong really has an army of 100,000.
Huo Shaoyun said with a smile: "Of course it is true. The entire noble families in Jizhou have been wiped out by the Yellow Turban thieves. You must know that these noble families are big families that have been inherited for hundreds of years, and each family is rich and powerful.
However, hundreds of families were wiped out by the Yellow Turban thieves, and it was not easy to pocket tens of billions of money. Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about this thunder. 200,000 people came to Bingzhou and fought for thousands of miles, but there was no looting.
, Instead, they spent money along the way, and spent hundreds of millions of money, and they have not spent it all yet. It is said that Lei Gongguang has 20,000 vehicles to transport treasures. How much money do you think they have in hand?"
Some of these horse bandit leaders knew what Huo Shaoyun said, and some didn't, but they did know that after Lei Gong's tribe came to Mayi, they spent money lavishly. There were no cattle, horses, and sheep that Lei Gong wouldn't buy if they couldn't get around. Now they are just more sure.
.
After Ke Zui heard the answer he was most concerned about, he laughed loudly and said: "What else is there to say? Kill the Thunder Lord, rush into Mayi, and rob all their treasures!"
"Kill Lei Gong, rush into Mayi, and rob all their treasures!" The horse bandit leaders all around became excited.
After finishing this job, you can retire safely and live a prosperous life. I heard that the emperor is selling his official position. If you have money to buy an official, you can brazenly rob him. (This era is so fantastic,
In history, Shi Chong, the protagonist of Wang Shi's fight for wealth, actually robbed traveling merchants and obtained huge amounts of property when he was the governor of Jingzhou. It was completely a bandit act. I couldn't believe that such people were actually officials of the imperial court. So these horse bandit leaders
It’s not surprising to have such thoughts 100 years in advance.)
Under the spell of Li Ling's ignorance, after discovering Xu Wei and his army, the horse bandits in Dingxiang County not only did not escape, but they all gathered together and stayed in Dingxiang County, preparing to eliminate Xu Wei's large army while waiting for work.
Xu Wei's 80,000-strong army marched for three days and finally arrived at Dingxiang County. The distance between the two sides was no more than 30 miles.
The horse bandit alliance also came to a flat wilderness outside Shanwu. This place can maximize the attack power of their cavalry. It was a battlefield specially selected by the horse bandit leader. There were 40,000 cavalry scattered here and there.
, large and small gatherings together.
Xu Wei and others were very happy when they discovered that the horse bandits alliance did not escape, but gathered together.
Wang Lei said with a smile: "Shan Wu is like muddy water. To the north and east are mountains. If we block the river to the south, it will be difficult for them to escape."
Xu Wei was not as optimistic as Wang Lei, but said seriously: "The premise you mentioned is that we can win. If we lose, everything will be over. We will become fools who have fallen into the tiger's mouth. Let's set up camp first! You
Bring cavalry to guard the perimeter!"
Wang Lei was unconvinced and said: "Captain, they are just a group of horse bandits. There is no need to be so nervous. Just go to war with them. How can we still lose to them!"
Obviously Wang Lei looked down on the horse bandit's fighting ability.
But Xu Wei said: "We are still ant bandits, how much better than horse bandits? If you continue to be so arrogant, you better not lead troops in the future!"
"Captain!" Wang Lei looked at Xu Wei in surprise. He was Xu Wei's number one confidant, helping Xu Wei control the military and maintain the stability of their small team. He never thought that Xu Wei would say such a thing.
But Xu Wei had no choice. He was a middle-aged man and did not think he had any talent in leading troops. He relied on caution and some modern and beyond-the-era technology to barely win a few battles. He
Know that these victories have little to do with your commanding ability.
It has been almost a year since he came to this world. Although he has 200,000 followers, because of his anti-thief nature, he has not recruited any famous generals from the Three Kingdoms. Even the third-rate generals do not look down on his anti-thief group.
Look at the names, Wang Lei and Niu Gui. It seems that he is just a walk-on. Caution is the only thing Xu Wei can do. And a general like Wang Lei who has no talent in the first place will only kill everyone if he continues to be so arrogant.
.
But after all, he was the first group of younger brothers Xu Wei brought in this world. After giving him a wooden stick, he still gave a sweet date and said: "A wise man once said, 'Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival. Arrogance
That's why I'm going to give this sentence to you today, and I hope you can take it as a warning!"
After hearing this, Wang Lei said excitedly: "Captain, don't worry, I won't be proud and complacent in the future."
Then Wang Lei led 2,000 cavalry to guard the perimeter, and Xu Wei asked Niu Gui to lead 30,000 soldiers to guard the rear.
Under Xu Wei's arrangement, others arranged the carriages outside the camp, while the soldiers continued to dig trenches, create horse traps, antlers and other projects that hindered the cavalry's advance.
Naturally, the horse bandits didn't want to watch Xu Wei set up the camp like this. They also sent cavalry to harass Xu Wei and the others, but when they were few, they were killed by Wang Lei's well-equipped cavalry. When there were more, they were killed by Niu Gui.
The crossbows and arrows were fired, and after fighting for a long time, these horse bandits caused thousands of casualties to themselves, but they did not cause much damage to Xu Wei and others at all.
It took Xu Wei three days to transform the camp into a place that was very unsuitable for cavalry fighting, and then he nodded with satisfaction.
With this camp, even if they were defeated, they would still have a foothold, and they would not be completely defeated. In fact, if there was no time, Xu Wei would have a better chance of winning, which is to form a stronghold, fight stupidly, and overcome them step by step.
, forcing these horse bandits to attack their own camp, so that he will definitely win. This is too time-consuming, and it is easy for the Huns to steal their homes!
After the camp was built, Xu Wei continued to repair it for a day to allow the soldiers to regain their energy before he began to prepare to deal with the horse bandit alliance.
After the repairs were completed, Xu Wei personally led 20,000 cavalry to serve as the central army of the town. Niu Gui led 30,000 cavalry on the left wing of the army. Wang Lei led 30,000 cavalry on the right wing of the army. Wang Lei's deputy general Wang Yong and 2,000 cavalry were wandering on the right wing, ready to give horses to the army at any time.
A fatal blow from the gangster alliance.
Eighty thousand troops lined up on the battlefield, advancing steadily in a "pin" formation, with majestic momentum.
The sound of war drums, footsteps, the shouts of soldiers, and the clang of soldiers' armor all merged into one sound wave, like a huge hammer hitting the earth, making a shocking and thrilling sound.
