Who would have thought that it started raining again in the middle of the night, and the patter was annoying. Su Ren had to put on his raincoat again and crawled into the grass outside the camp. Drops of dew dripped from the grass blades.
Pour it into Su Ren's neck. Su Ren did not avoid it. Only in this way could he stay awake.
On the first night when the army arrived at Zhangshugou, instead of sleeping in the newly set up military camp, they mobilized all the troops and horses and waited for the enemy to rob the camp. This was the best strategy Su Ren came up with. I used to watch "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
When it came to hijacking the camp, he felt that those coaches were just losers, so when it was his turn, he would never follow in those guys' footsteps.
Huo Jin lay down next to Su Ren, chewing grass roots boredly: "Brother, it's already midnight, will it really come? If not, we will wait in vain. Brothers have been struggling all day, big brother
If you don't sleep at night, how can you fight tomorrow?"
Su Ren ignored Huo Jin. As time went on, he felt more and more that his decision was somewhat unreliable. Hou Jian was only a county captain at most, and he never had more than 500 troops. What did he know?
The art of war? Not to mention hijacking the camp, I'm afraid I can't even set up a military formation.
"Brother, let's go back! I'm so sleepy!" After a while, Hawking began to complain again.
Su Ren frowned. If this was the first time he led troops and made such a joke, how would he be able to survive in the camp in the future? This is the problem Su Ren is facing now. From the excitement at the beginning to the decadence now, what is Su Ren thinking about?
Reshape your own image.
Huang Shisan pushed Hawking: "You talk too much, the captain didn't give the order, just wait! What if we climb until dawn? Isn't the captain here too?"
Time passed by little by little, and I don’t know when the rain stopped. The wind blew away the dark clouds, revealing the bright moonlight. The moon had already turned to the west, and a faint white light appeared in the east. It would be dawn soon.
Su Ren sighed. He suffered such a big mistake on his first expedition. It seemed that he was not the material to be a commander. He turned over with difficulty and lay on the ground. Huo Jin and Huang Shisan blinked at him.
.
"That's it! Let's..."
Before he finished speaking, a figure flashed in front of him, and a scout emerged from the bushes and bowed down in front of Su Ren: "Colonel Lieutenant, here we come!"
Su Ren instantly regained his energy, quickly climbed back up, waved his hand to signal the scouts to go down, and looked nervously at the valley ahead.
This is a nice place, secluded, and you can just see their camp and the mountain pass opposite. With the faint light of the sky, a large group of people are gathering at the mountain pass, and you can hear the shouting and cursing among those people, although the sound is very small, you can hear
It was as pleasant as a symphony to Su Ren's ears.
There were so many people that it took a full stick of incense to assemble them, and they moved towards their camp in a chaotic manner. Huo Jin looked at Su Ren with admiration: "Brother, you really got it right, those guys are really
Want to rob the camp!"
Su Ren sneered and called a soldier: "Go and tell Marquis Gou and Li Sima to block the mountain pass immediately after those guys come out. Don't let anyone escape!"
Hou Jian walked at the front of the team, because he did not want to come out to rob the camp. Hou Jian believed that as long as Zhangshugou was defended, no matter how many county soldiers came, they would not be able to break in. What he wanted was stability. In the past, he and Su
Ren confronts Su Ren, blindly taking risks, but getting angry at every turn. Now that he has thousands of bandits under his command, he doesn't want to confront Su Ren head-on.
Hou Jian didn't want to fight decisively, but he couldn't stand up to the fanatical bandits. The vanguard officers who easily defeated the army last time were so confident that they didn't take the county soldiers seriously.
Dahei Niu proposed a plan to rob the camp, which was approved by everyone. Hou Jian was dragged out. Su Ren's camp could already be seen. Simple wooden fences, messy bonfires and a few thatched huts were everything in the camp.
Hou Jian's heart skipped a beat when he found no patrolling soldiers.
"Kill..." Without waiting for Hou Jian's instructions, the big black bull rushed over first. According to Hou Jian's reward, the first bandit to rush into the army camp will receive double the reward. The rabbit ears accounted for the previous one.
Seizing the opportunity, Big Black Bull will never let go of such an opportunity this time.
The bandits behind them swarmed up, kicked open the simple wooden fence, and plunged into the camp. They set fire to it and searched at the same time. Unfortunately, they did not encounter any officers and soldiers.
"Where are the people?" The big black cow scratched his head, a little strange.
Rabbit ears chuckled: "It's useless for you to rush in first, even if you don't meet the officers and soldiers!"
The big black cow glared at Rabbit Ears: "You know what the hell, these officers and soldiers are the most useless. When they see grandpa me, they must have run away! When I catch up with them, I will kill them all. See what you can do."
say what!"
Hou Jian looked around and saw that there were just a few shabby thatched houses that could not accommodate even 500 people, not to mention a thousand people. Hou Siyi pulled Hou Jian: "Let's go! We can't stay long!"
"Kill...!" The second shout of killing came suddenly. The bandits in the camp felt puzzled. There was obviously no one around, so why were there still people shouting to kill? When they were looking for it, arrows shot from all directions told them.
They, this time it was not one of their own who was calling for death.
Su Ren was very conscious. He knew his own weight and did not charge forward. He stood on the mound in the distance and watched the fighting in the camp. Although his blood was surging, he did not take a step forward.
Huang Shisan clenched the big ax in his hand several times, already eager to try. Su Ren smiled: "Go if you want! I'm fine here!"
Huang Shisan shook his head: "If you don't go, I have to protect the captain!"
Su Ren smiled bitterly without forcing it.
The killings in the camp were indisputable, and the sudden attack caught the bandits off guard. The Yuanshan bandits were originally the most powerful bandits in Shu, many times stronger than the bandits around Chengdu. It was like professional bandits and amateur bandits, not to mention
These Yuanshan bandits had been trained rigorously for several months, and they were even more capable at killing people. With only one charge, they defeated the bandits, and they no longer dared to confront the county soldiers head-on.
Rabbit ears were the most clever. He turned around and ran away as soon as possible. He didn't want to wait for death here. The big black cow reacted a little slower. Before he could turn around, he was surrounded by several county soldiers. After several tossings, he was stabbed.
The arm was cut off and then turned into meat. The bandits had no command and fought independently. Although they had the upper hand in numbers, they were unable to save the day.
The training of Su Ren's county soldiers in the past few months has not been in vain. They cooperate with each other tacitly. No matter what the situation is, a few people will take action together. Even if they are surrounded, they can hold on for a while.
Screams and shouts of killing came one after another, and the blood extinguished the burning bonfire and dyed the thatch red. The bandits were defeated faster than they came. The county soldiers did not let them go at all, chasing after them to cover them up.
Su Ren sat down in the mud and yawned loudly. Huang Shisan, who had a wink, got a pile of hay from somewhere and spread it behind Su Ren. Su Ren smiled and lay down with his clothes on.
After running for a day and staying up all night, Su Ren actually fell asleep while listening to the screams on the battlefield.
Tang Meng could see the smoke billowing clearly. He quickly stood up and asked the soldiers beside him: "Where is the smoke?"
The soldier looked around and then at the wolf smoke: "Looking at the direction, it should be in the direction of Zhangshugou!"
"Zhangshugou! Send someone immediately to ask if something happened to Lieutenant Su!"
"Here!" the soldier agreed and quickly went down to arrange manpower.
Looking at the billowing smoke, Tang Meng was a little worried for a moment. He originally asked Su Ren to come here to give Su Ren some benefits. If something happened to Su Ren's thousand soldiers and horses, or Su Ren himself encountered some problems, then Tang Meng wouldn't care.
He knew how Su Ren would treat him.
Su Ren is now a villain in Chengdu. Anyone who doesn't deal with Su Ren will either die or run away. The worst is to bow his head and admit defeat. Although this bad reputation is only spread among people like Tang Meng, the bad reputation has been around for a long time, and no one wants to
Go challenge.
Zhang Dequan also saw the thick smoke in Zhangshugou and sent someone over to ask if he could help. Tang Meng shook his head and said to the visitor: "Go back and tell Zhang Dequan not to cause trouble until Su Ren asks for help."
After sending the people, Tang Meng gathered his energy again and loudly ordered the county soldiers to set off and prepare to attack Huilongkou.
The war progressed extremely smoothly. The bandits were defeated with a single charge. Gou Tianming led his men to block the mountain pass. Under attack from two sides, the bandits' arrogance was suppressed. When their village leader could not be found, many people
Choosing to surrender, Hawking kicked the rabbit's ears off, stepped on the guy's chest, and raised his sword.
Rabbit ears begged loudly for mercy: "Hero, spare your life, spare your life, I have a big secret to tell you!"
"No need, I will know everything when I enter your lair, young master! You can go on your way in peace and safety!"
He raised the knife and dropped it, and Rabbit Ears' scream only lasted for half a sound before disappearing. He slashed twice more, cut off Rabbit Ears' head, raised it high, and shouted: "Who else is there!"
Su Ren slept until about three o'clock in the morning. He got up from the hay with sleepy eyes, stretched out, and rubbed his eyes. Huang Shisan brought a bowl of white rice covered with large meat slices to Su Ren.
Ren smiled at Huang Shisan, took it and put it in his mouth.
"How about it?"
Huang Shisan chuckled: "The captain's strategy will definitely work. Xiao Jinzi and Lao Gou have already invaded Zhangshugou." Pointing to the camp not far away: "There are all prisoners inside, more than a thousand people!"
"Send someone to tell them to be careful. Who knows if there are any traps inside!"
"promise!"
Huang Shisan turned around and left, while Su Ren quietly enjoyed his rice. It was brown rice, with occasional pebbles, and the meat on it was also fatty pork. Su Ren was hungry, and the food was delicious, and he would eat it after a while.
I ate more than half a bowl.
When Huang Shisan came back, he actually held a cup of tea in his hand. Su Ren was very satisfied with Huang Shisan's increasingly considerate care. Who would have thought that this tall and thick guy could be so good at taking care of people. (To be continued)
