The bandits retreated eastward calmly, until their figures were almost invisible, and several reinforcements of officers and soldiers rushed in front of Su Hao and others. Su Hao stood on the slope and could clearly see the officers and soldiers leading these officers and soldiers.
They were two officers riding tall horses. Judging by the color of their uniforms, they should both be of Qianhu level.
The two Qianhu raised their heads and saw a group of officials on the slope, and they reined in the reins in unison. They first waved their whips and gave orders to their officers and soldiers: "Follow the traces on the ground and continue to pursue. Don't let a thief escape."
Escape!" Then he clamped the horse's belly and drove the horse into the Kanyu Camp position and walked up the slope. Deng Kui and others saw that the opponent was of high rank, so naturally it was not easy to stop them.
Su Hao and others stepped forward to greet them. Two officers jumped off their horses and at the same time clasped their fists and greeted Su Hao and others.
"Hu Kaixiang of the Thousand Households of the Hedao General Military Mansion, have you met... Is this the Chief Su?" An officer scanned the crowd and found Su Hao accurately.
"Su Hao, the director of the Ministry of Industry, has met Hu Qianhu." Su Hao returned the greeting with clasped fists.
"Zhong Daren, Qianhu of Huai'an Guard, has met Chief Su, met Tian Tongpan, and met Uncle Xu." Another officer greeted several people on Su Hao's side. As Qianhu of Huai'an Guard,
He had met Tian Younian, and he also knew Xu Guangzu, because Xu Guangzu and Huaian Guard Commander Li Shida were old acquaintances, and even Li Shida addressed Xu Guangzu as "Uncle Xu."
Everyone greeted each other with official etiquette. On this slope, everyone could not find a stool to sit on, so they could only stand in a circle, with Su Hao becoming the faintly protagonist of the circle.
Simply speaking in terms of rank, there is really no distinction between these people. Tian Younian is a sixth-grade civil servant, and Hu Kaixiang and Zhong Daren are both fifth-grade military attachés. In terms of status, the sixth-grade civil servant is higher than the fifth-grade military attache. Su Hao is both.
The rank of civil servant is the same as that of Tian Younian, and the rank of military attache is the same as that of Hu and Zhong. With the two identities combined, the other people naturally have to weigh the importance.
"Mr. Su, we were ordered to come here for reinforcements. Isn't it too late to arrive?" Hu Kaixiang asked. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were late, but he insisted on using this tone to ask Su Hao.
.
At this point, Su Hao had nothing to say. He smiled and said: "It's not too late. It's not too late. Both Hu Qianhu and Zhong Qianhu are very fast. Su is very grateful."
"I received a secret letter from Chief Su a few days ago, in which we were ordered to deal with the bandits and encircle them. However, Zhong discussed it with Hu Qianhu and was worried that if he detoured from behind enemy lines and the journey would be too far, Chief Su would be
I can’t stand it here, so I didn’t follow Chief Su’s arrangement, and I ask for Mr. Su’s forgiveness.” Zhong Daren said seemingly humbly.
Hu Kaixiang and Zhong Daren were very dissatisfied with a colleague like Su Hao. Their boss asked them to come and cooperate with Su Hao, so they had to come, but from the bottom of their hearts, they were not willing to fight with the bandits. Because fighting meant
Casualties and casualties meant compensation. The money could not have been spent originally, so why should they waste their money on Su Hao's whim?
Su Hao wrote to them a few days ago, asking them to send troops to detour behind enemy lines and make dumplings for the bandits after the battle broke out. Both Hu Kaixiang and Zhong Daren understood that this was a very good strategy. Even if the bandits could not be completely annihilated, at least they could
The bandits could suffer heavy losses. But they did not want to accept this arrangement, because the trapped beasts were still fighting. Once the bandits were surrounded, they would have to fight tooth and nail, and their sergeants would suffer a large number of casualties. In their view, the only way to drive away the bandits was to
It's enough, why do you need to go to all lengths?
Su Hao is just a Qianhu. This Qianhu was directly appointed by Beijing and has nothing to do with Hedao General Military Mansion or Huai'an Guard. No matter what Su Hao's background is or what great future he has in the future, Hu Kaixiang
You don't need to worry about Zhong Daren, as long as everyone can live with it.
Under the guidance of this idea, they adopted a one-sided attack strategy. The army seemed very powerful, but it only scared the bandits away and did not intend to actually confront the bandits. Of course, this idea could only be hidden in their hearts.
, they must say something nice in front of Su Hao.
"I said Zhong Daren, can you catch up with the bandits like you? Your soldiers haven't had breakfast, right?" Xu Guangzu couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at the Huai'an guards who were chasing the bandits and said to Zhong Daren.
Zhong Daren didn't care about Su Hao, but he was a little afraid of Xu Guangzu. Because Xu Guangzu and Li Shida often drank together, and they were outspoken. If he said bad things about himself in front of Li Shida in the future, he would be in trouble.
"Well, what Uncle Xu said is true. These bastards, I... ah no, I mean they won't do anything unless I go there personally to urge them. Chief Su, Tian Tongpan, Uncle Xu, please talk slowly, Zhong
I personally led the soldiers to pursue the bandits."
As Zhong Daren spoke, he led his horse back a few steps, got on his horse, and actually ran into the team to lead the pursuit. Hu Kai said a few polite words to Su Hao and others, then got up and went back to his team.
The soldiers and horses of the two thousand-house battalions marched eastwards like locusts, stamping out the dust all over the sky.
"Alas, my officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are all like this. If Qi Junmen were still alive, they would have beheaded these guys long ago." Xu Guangzu sighed and said. In fact, he is very aware of this situation in the army.
Yes, he just felt that Su Hao had seen the joke, and he felt a little embarrassed. The Qi Junmen he was talking about naturally referred to the late famous general Qi Jiguang, who was known for his strict leadership of troops.
Su Hao also shook his head and said: "It's understandable. The army has no soul, so why talk about combat effectiveness?"
Two thousand households went to chase the bandits, so there was nothing going on at the Kanyu Camp. Deng Kui came over and reported to Su Hao that in the battle just now, the Kanyu Camp had 6 people killed, more than a dozen seriously injured, and a few minor injuries.
Ten people. Su Hao nodded and accepted the result. As Deng Kui said, in order for the troops to form combat effectiveness, they must go through actual combat, and actual combat inevitably involves casualties. Comparing the casualties on the bandits' side, the investigation
The battle at Yuying was considered to be a good one.
"Let the military doctors quickly treat the wounded soldiers, while the rest cook the meals." Su Hao ordered.
"Also, don't be careless and prevent the bandits from returning." Xu Guangzu added.
In fact, the battle just now was not a fierce battle. There were only seven or eight groups in the Kanyu camp at a time, and about a quarter of the troops fought on the outside, while the rest just stayed behind. The troops in the front and rear were constantly rotated.
, the time each soldier actually faces the enemy is only half an hour.
Even so, after the battle, everyone still had a feeling of escaping from death, didn't they? In fact, 6 soldiers were killed in the battle. The veterans were somewhat calmer after seeing this scene, and the recruits looked at it
Seeing that Pao Ze, who had been joking with him just now, was suddenly separated from him, he felt a little sad and scared.
During the meal, Su Hao and Xu Guangzu walked back and forth between the groups with bowls in their hands, praising the heroic performance of a certain soldier from time to time, or comforting those who were injured. The mood of the team gradually stabilized and began to feel calm.
Some people told jokes about the war, and laughter filled the camp.
"These bastards are not bad." Xu Guangzu said to Su Hao with satisfaction, "If we fight a few more battles, they will all become veterans."
"What about the veterans? Hu Kaixiang, Zhong Daren and the others are also veterans, some older than you. I think they are just a bunch of trash." Su Hao said rudely.
Xu Guangzu said: "These are all guardsmen. If you have seen the border troops, you will know it. Especially the subordinates of Qi Junmen and the subordinates of General Li of Liaodong. Their energy is far beyond what the guardsmen can compare with."
of."
"Can my battalion of soldiers compare with them?" Su Hao asked.
Xu Guangzu looked at the crowd and said: "It looks a bit impressive. This is all thanks to you. You can strengthen the righteousness and kill the evil spirits in the team, and the officers and soldiers have the same desire, so that they can be invincible. However, the momentum is still a bit lacking.
The main reason is that we fought less and lacked murderous intent."
"In this peaceful age, where do you want me to find a fight for them?" Su Hao retorted without anger.
As soon as he said this, there was a sudden noise in the distance to the east, like the tide was coming. Su Hao and Xu Guangzu were sitting on the ground. When they heard the sound, they both stood up subconsciously.
The scout rushed to them and loudly reported: "It's not good, it's not good, Su Qianhu, the officers and soldiers who were chasing the bandits just now have all been defeated and retreated!"
"What!" Su Hao and Xu Guangzu were both shocked. Two thousand-household camps, with more than 2,000 people, were chasing 800 bandits, but they were defeated. Could it be that the bandits set an ambush in front? Logically speaking, bandits
They are not afraid of officers and soldiers, but they will not fight to the death with them. How large a group of bandits must be to ambush 2,000 officers and soldiers? Do they want to rebel?
"Everyone is here, form a formation! No matter what happens, don't take a step back without an order!" Xu Guangzu shouted at Kanyu Camp.
The soldiers in the Kanyu camp didn't know what happened, but the training over the past few months had developed their habit of obeying orders. They threw away their rice bowls, picked up their weapons, and quickly entered a defensive position. This time, they had no regiment.
Instead of forming a group, they formed a horizontal line, facing the direction in which the officers and soldiers in front were retreating.
The officers and soldiers ran closer and closer. This time they did not take square steps like they did when chasing the bandits. Instead, they ran faster than rabbits one by one. They only regretted that their parents had lost a few legs. From the telescope, Su
Hao and Xu Guangzu could see that the more than 2,000 officers and soldiers were separated by a mile. Following them were a group of people holding long knives. These people were extremely fierce. The officers and soldiers they caught up hardly fought back.
With such power, the body is often decapitated within one strike.
"Where did this bandit come from? It's so ferocious!" Su Hao said in shock.
Xu Guangzu changed drastically and uttered two words: "Japanese pirates!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
