Chapter 4 Old Friend (three times) Despite their one hundred and twenty reluctances, the county soldiers followed Qin Shubao's order to make way for the Wagang Army. Everyone could not defeat the Wagang Army as easily as they defeated the rogue bandits.
There are more than 2,000 Beihai County prisoners in other people's hands. If the Wagang army is forced to jump over the wall, it will be difficult for the Qijun brothers to explain to the Beihai elders in the future.
In the evening, the scouts found the remnants of Beihai County soldiers and Luo Shixin in a valley 20 miles away. After Wu Yulin and other generals re-counted the results of the battle, everyone found that the final battle was really not worth the gain. Tens of thousands of Beihai County soldiers fought until the end.
There were more than 6,000 people left, and more than 2,000 of them were "travel money" left by the Wagang Army. Luo Shixin was so angry at this result that he screamed and vowed to avenge Qin Shubao. However, he was tepid and just ordered everyone
Set up camp and rest, and make plans for the next day
At dawn the next day, Luo Shixin, regardless of the pain all over his body, ran to the Chinese army tent early to invite him to fight. However, Qin Shubao couldn't resist him, so he had to allocate 200 Qingqi for him to take him to spy on the Wagang army's movements. Before leaving, he asked him to make a decision.
Military order: If you can catch up with the enemy, you are not allowed to attack. You must come back immediately to move troops.
Everyone was packing their bags and waiting. At almost noon, Luo Shixin rushed back angrily, "The Wagang Army is a bunch of cowards!" As soon as he entered the military tent, he couldn't wait to announce that everyone knew that he must have failed, and he couldn't wait.
Luo Shixin said nothing and waited quietly for his words. Luo Shixin was filled with anger and couldn't vent it. He didn't hold it in until his face turned purple, and then he gasped and added: "They actually went north into the ravine and rushed to Pingyin in Jibei County."
!Grandma’s, it actually runs faster than a rabbit!”
Jibei County is adjacent to Qi County and Lu County. In recent years, due to complex terrain and flooding, the county has become an area hardest hit by banditry. The government's control area does not exceed the county wall within ten miles, and there are still traces of large groups.
The bandits tried to attack the county. Pei Changcai and Shi Zihe, who were wiped out last year, once captured Changqing County. It was not until they were defeated in Qi County that the county was taken back by the government from the remaining bandits.
When the Wagang Army enters Shelu County from Jibei County, it is like a fish returning to the sea. If the officers and soldiers pursue them, they will always join forces with the local bandits in Jibei County to fight against the enemy. Even if the war is unfavorable, they will go west for more than a hundred miles and cross the border.
Behind Yushan is a deserted swamp, bordering Jishui in the east and Juye in the west. If the troops and horses burrowed into it, the officers and soldiers would be exhausted and unable to catch up.
Qin Shubao was not surprised by this result at all. Before Luo Shixin was recovered yesterday, he had already analyzed the movements of the Wagang Army with Li Xu and others. Everyone knows that Xu Maogong may not spit out the food he eats if it is for no reason.
The reason why the other party made such a big concession was because they didn't want to continue to tangle with the county soldiers.
Xu Maogong once sent Xie Yingdeng to hint that Wagang sent troops to relieve the siege this time because he was entrusted by others. Now that the siege has been completed, the Wagang army's reputation for public eagerness and justice has also been earned, and Lu County is three miles away from Wagang Mountain.
More than a hundred miles away, even if they completely defeated the army here, they would not get any more benefits in the end, so they might as well leave to avoid suffering more losses.
Qin Shubao wanted to dampen Luo Shixin's arrogance, so he asked him to take the people on a wasted trip. However, he couldn't tell his good intentions in front of everyone. He stepped forward and patted Luo Shixin on the shoulder. He asked with a smile: "What if?"
You are the commander-in-chief of the Wagang Army, what will you do?"
"I will definitely stay and fight to the death!" Luo Shixin replied angrily. He also felt that his words were a bit too sure. "You have killed all the other people. If it were me, this tone, this tone, no matter what
I can’t swallow it!”
Is it really hard to swallow? For a general, which one is more important, personal appearance or the safety of his brothers? Looking at Qin Shubao’s smiling eyes, Luo Shixin’s voice weakened, “It turns out you have already
We know they will escape, but other rogue bandits can be considered their friendly forces, aren't they here to relieve the siege?"
He is not a stupid person. The reason why he has been too reckless in recent days is because he has almost never lost any battles since his debut. Yesterday, he lost for the first time and almost had his pants taken off. Wait until he is the real opponent.
After thinking about it from different angles, Luo Shixin immediately understood all the mysteries. "This guy named Xu is also very cunning. If I have the chance, I will dig out his heart to see what he is made of. I dare him to come all the way here."
, just to gain a good reputation and care about other people’s lives and lives, to put it bluntly, he didn’t care at all!”
Everyone smiled and nodded, agreeing with Luo Shixin's point of view. Xu Maogong's wit and ruthlessness left a deep impression on everyone. It's best if you don't meet such an opponent. If you do, you must be careful with ten thousand people.
"That kind of rubbish, if I were the leader of the Wagang Army, I wouldn't care about it!" When everyone had laughed enough, Dugu Lin sighed and said, "It's a pity that those good men in the Wagang Army, with such skill and strategy, actually stooped.
What a thief!"
"Yes, the soldiers named Xu Lian are much better than our Qijun brothers. With the skills of Cheng Zhijie and Shan Xiongxin, and the magnanimity of Xie Yingdeng, alas..." Zhang Yuanbei also sighed and shook his head. In addition to being unwilling to give in, now
What was more in his heart was admiration for the enemy. The soldiers and horses were so different from the bandits and bandits he had seen before. It was like the difference between the white clouds in the sky and the smelly mud in the sewers. It turned out that in his heart, his father
Zhang Xutuo, Qin Shubao, Li Zhongjian, Luo Shixin and others are already among the best heroes in the world. Now when they come into contact with the heroes of Wagang, they realize that there are people outside the world, and there is truth in the saying
"The thieves are so powerful, it may not be a blessing to the imperial court." Wu Yulin's troops suffered the heaviest losses, so he looked at the problem from a different perspective than other countries. The Beihai soldiers were weak, and he, the county magistrate, was not qualified to fight like the Qijun soldiers.
His opponent is jealous of each other. Now, the most urgent thing he needs to consider is how to protect the country and the people. If any nearby bandits have the same strength as the Wagang Army, Beihai County will not be able to resist the opponent's attack.
He paused, watching everyone's eyes fall on him, and slowly added, "I have been thinking about what Xie said these past few days, and the more I think about it, the more scared I feel!"
This sentence made everyone feel bitter. Xie Yingdeng's words, everyone should not repeat it in front of many people, but the court is playing around and the bandits will only fight more and more, but it is not wrong at all. This time Qi County's elite defeated the bandits.
Although we suffered a small loss when we closed the palace in the end, looking at the overall situation of the whole battle, the victory was still brilliant. But next time, who can guarantee that the newly rising bandits will all be Guo Fangyu, and Qi Guoyuan, a coward like Wagang
Judging from the level of military generals, the leaders of the bandits are no longer ordinary people who have no enough to eat and are forced to revolt. More and more local powerful children have joined in, and there are many ambitious and vicious plotters among them.
Guys like Li Mi, and the military advisor named Fang under his command!
These people are proficient in the art of war, good at planning, and have acquired excellent martial arts skills since childhood. Their destructive power is far greater than that of ordinary people. Looking at the overall situation of this bandit suppression campaign, more than a thousand Qijun veterans initially suffered almost no losses, but
After encountering the Wagang Army, they lost nearly 300 troops in one battle. Although this loss is not fatal for the time being, if we fight like this four more times, the Qi County elite will no longer exist!
"Let's go back quickly and seize the time to train troops! The affairs of the imperial court are handled by the ministers. As local officials, it is enough for us to fulfill our responsibilities!" After a while, Qin Shubao was the first to recover from the silence.
Summarize with a sigh
"We can only do our best and obey fate, otherwise what else can we do!" Wu Yulin smiled bitterly and shook his head. After spending half his life in officialdom, he finally found a way to climb up, but in the end, he was still a job that could kill him at any time.
He is not too afraid of death, but it is not worth it to die like this. People who cause trouble do not take responsibility, but let people who are dedicated to doing things add holes. What a world!
He secretly decided to move closer to Qijun at all times, relying on a big tree to enjoy the shade. Although the tree in Qijun may not be very big, at least he must have soldiers and generals to suffer some losses in food, grass and baggage.
If you suffer some grievances due to official etiquette, just let it go. If you can't save your life, what's the use of having those empty things?
Thinking of this, Wu Yulin bowed his hands to Qin Shubao and others and said: "Wu has an idea here. I wonder if the brothers can consider it!"
"Don't be polite, Mr. Wu, we are now interdependent in fortune and misfortune!" Qin Shubao smiled and returned the courtesy. Beihai County lost most of its troops in the first battle. He felt a little regretful. If the other party's request was not too outrageous, he decided to try his best to satisfy it.
"Brother Shubao, please don't call me "Sir." The age difference between us is actually not too big." Wu Yulin looked around and said polite words. Qin Shubao was forty-three, and the remaining people were all less than twenty. The age difference between us was not that big.
He is more than 20 years old, which is indeed "not too much". "You guys call each other brothers, but Wu is alone. Alas, actually, looking at him, his eyes are full of enthusiasm! If these brothers don't dislike it, just call me."
Well, Yulin, we all have lived and died together, and it would be too much for one adult to live together!"
"Brother Yulin, please speak up if you have anything to say. We will do our best not to embarrass brother Yulin!" Dugu Lin laughed so hard at Wu Yulin's "hypocritical" behavior that he almost fell off the bench and had to stand up
stand up, respond
"Brother Chongmu is just happy that Wu is following a few people to kill the thieves this time. It can be regarded as an eye-opener. Although our Beihai County soldiers are numerous, they are vulnerable to a single blow. So I would like to ask you all to take the time to come over and give me some advice and help."
I, Beihai, am training my troops, lest the rogue bandits come again next time, I, Beihai, will not be able to fight back at all!"
It was a matter of life and death. Wu Yulin also risked his face, swallowed and continued: "As for the loss of Qijun soldiers this time, since it is for me, Beihai, I, Beihai, will naturally bear all the responsibility. If there is a similar situation in the future, I will still bear it."
Please help me brothers, I will bear all the losses in Beihai, and I will never let the brothers who come to help suffer!"
"Brother Yulin has a good plan!" Qin Shubao stood up with a smile and said, "But this trick of yours can only cure the symptoms, not necessarily the root cause!"
"Oh, I only care about it for a while." Wu Yulin saw that Qin Shubao didn't seem to be objecting, and a stone finally fell to the ground in his heart, and he replied with a smile.
