Dou Jiande has received news that Fanyang County's 8,000 troops are led by Xiongwu Yinglang General Shan Xiongxin, and he also found out that these 8,000 troops are the worst army in Fanyang County, and they are all recruits who have never been on the battlefield, but King Qin An
What kind of person is he? Even if he sends these eight thousand recruits to practice, how can he not have any backup plans?
Dou Jiande, who was originally prepared for the battle in Heiji Town and had already passed the news to Sun Anzu, his old nest in Gaojibo, felt more justified in his suspicions the more he thought about it.
Just watching, more than 8,000 troops from Fanyang County were about to arrive, and he had to make a decision immediately.
…
…
At noon on the second day, Shan Xiongxin appeared on the official road to Heiji Town with eight thousand county soldiers.
According to the intelligence sent back by the military intelligence officer who was hiding among the rebels, Dou Jiande, the rebel leader stationed in Heiji Town, actually received the news in advance, abandoned Heiji Town, and fled back to his lair in Gaojibo overnight.
The mountainous terrain near Gaojibo is complex and the trees are lush, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Dou Jiande actually noticed in advance and decisively abandoned Heiji Town, which was extremely important to the rebels. This made Shan Xiongxin despise this group of rebels even more. However, he still sent a thousand reconnaissance teams to serve as vanguards to find out the further movements of the rebels.
, and clean up all the rebel scouts along the way.
After all, these 8,000 county soldiers are new recruits. They are here mainly for training. Shan Xiongxin intends to achieve the combat objectives set by the general manager while not causing too many losses to the 8,000 county soldiers.
Last year during the campaign against Goguryeo, Shan Xiongxin was left in Fanyang County by Wang Junlin to guard the important salt field. Therefore, he was very envious of Yuchi Jingde, Luo Shixin, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong and others for their military exploits in Goguryeo. Fortunately, Wang Junlin calculated
Credit is never calculated based on the number of heads on the battlefield. The victory in Goguryeo was due to the weapons, equipment and tools produced by the salt field. Shan Xiongxin guarded the salt field without losing anything. This is a great achievement, so Shan Xiongxin's status is no higher than that of Yu Chijing.
He has low virtue and is also the commander of the first battalion.
But in Shan Xiongxin's dream, as a qualified general, he hopes that he will have the opportunity to expand the country's territory like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. He hopes that he will also have the opportunity to seal the wolf as a subordinate, or redefine the boundary pillars. A real man.
Immediately obtain the title of honor, go up to defend the country, and go down to protect the common people. Even if the body is wrapped in horse leather, this life will not be in vain.
But the most common first battle he led his troops was against these rebel bandits. His opponents were not famous generals or heroes, but low-class thieves and farmers who had just put down their hoes.
In Shan Xiongxin's view, there is nothing to be proud of in defeating them and chasing them down like crazy.
And he knew very well that now that a wave of bandits had been wiped out in the Sui Dynasty, a new wave was quickly born out of thin air. They were like grass in the field, weeded out one after another. They were like wolves in the field, being beaten.
He was injured, so he hid in the mountains and the wounds formed scars. Within a few days, he rushed out of the valley again and preyed on others.
…
…
There is a village next to Gaojibo, which is the hometown of Sun Anzu and Dou Jiande. This was originally a village. When Sun Anzu and his gang of rebels came, they ordered that all the thirty or so men in the village be killed. The women
They were ranked according to the aesthetic standards of the bandits, and were selected by the big and small bosses in order of official position.
Although Dou Jiande and Sun Anzu were considered good and righteous people before the uprising, after they rebelled and killed people and fled with a group of rebel thieves who had killed people, they also knew that some things had to be done, otherwise they would not be able to control their subordinates.
of men and horses.
The mountains are far less warm than the plains, and the February wind makes dogs grit their teeth. But Dou Jiande's heart feels like a fire has been lit, making his mouth dry. He has a plan, a plan that can defeat Fanyang County
Eight thousand men, a plan that can make him famous. But this plan needs to include his former friend and now his boss Sun Anzu.
Dou Jiande could have ignored Sun Anzu, but the problem was that according to his plan, he finally defeated the famous Qin An King's Poison General Wang Junlin's army. Most of his fame would only fall on Sun Anzu as the head of the family. This kind of marriage for others
Dou Jiande was never willing to do the clothing thing.
After hesitating and struggling for a long time, Dou Jiande's eyes flashed with determination and coldness, and he gritted his teeth and thought to himself: "A real man has something to do and something not to do. In ancient times, famous generals and princes were willing to sacrifice everything in order to win and achieve their goals. Then Liu Bei
I don’t even have to give up my own woman and daughter. It doesn’t matter if I abandon a friend with a different surname for the great cause in my heart. What’s more, if I hadn’t saved Sun Anzu that day, he would have been killed by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. This can be regarded as repaying his kindness."
"And if there is no decent resistance, then Shan Xiongxin might suspect that if the master and his soldiers are left behind, they will inevitably start a fight with the Fanyang County troops. That's enough."
Dou Jiande found a good reason for himself. He remembered that he had never been willing to let others drink the Guoshan wine he had snatched from the Guoshan Liquor Shop in the county town. He thought that as long as the Admiral got drunk tonight, he would be completely drunk.
, all subsequent plans are easy to implement.
He shouted to the soldiers at the door: "Come here, go and invite the master. Just tell him that I shot a musk deer when I came back in the morning, and invite the master to come over to eat meat and drink wine."
…
…
The village where the rebels had their lair in Gaojibo was less than twenty miles away from Heiji Town. When Shan Xiongxin arrived at night with eight thousand county soldiers and launched a sneak attack, they easily broke through the lair.
"Are the rebels weaker than I expected?" Shan Xiongxin was greatly disappointed. He planned a perfect attack battle and tried to win it all in one fight. The rogue bandits are too strong in recovery. If they can't defeat them all at once,
They were completely wiped out, and soon they would grow back like weeds.
In order to ensure that the mission was foolproof, before leaving Heiji Town, Shan Xiongxin also told the reconnaissance team leader Liu Fangyi and ordered him to be responsible for monitoring the enemy's lair on the periphery of the enemy.
"Sir, it should be that our Fanyang County is too prestigious. When the rebels heard that it was us, not Qinghe County's army, they were frightened and panicked. In the evening, they began to flee from their lair in small groups."
Liu Fangyi was also greatly disappointed.
After listening to Liu Fangyi's explanation, Shan Xiongxin said with emotion: "It's because the prince's reputation is so evil that these thieves must be frightened!"
"Come here, send an order to the captains of Rongcheng County, Fangcheng County, Changxiang County and Gu'an County, and ask them to lead their troops around to the west of the rebel lair and block the enemy's escape exit. County soldiers from the remaining four counties
Attack directly from the east." Shan Xiongxin sighed and immediately issued an order to achieve as much damage as possible.
"The order goes down. As long as women, children, old and young don't resist, don't kill them. Take them back to Fanyang County. As long as the rebels lay down their weapons and surrender, don't kill them. If there is resistance, kill them!" Shan Xiongxin shook his head, feeling very sad.
