The county soldiers were divided into small teams based on a hundred people and began to search with a net. There were many rebels in many places that were not illuminated by the fire, but most of them were women, children, old and young. In fact, they were refugees or refugees.
When the county soldiers from Fanyang County arrived, they did not resist at all. They obediently dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy.
The battle had just begun and was coming to an end without any suspense. Shan Xiongxin did not even bother to issue any more orders and allowed the eight captains to lead their own troops to eliminate the remaining enemies.
"General, the enemy only has a stone fortress on the hill behind the village that has not been captured. There are hundreds of thugs inside who are stubbornly resisting and refusing to surrender. Several captains led their men to attack in turn, but they failed to capture it.
, and they all suffered a lot of casualties, otherwise the people of our reconnaissance team should be sent immediately." Liu Fangyi, the captain of the reconnaissance team, was eager to try and came to Shan Xiongxin to ask for help.
"Oh! Finally there is a decent rebel. Let's go and take a look." Shan Xiongxin's eyes lit up and he rode to the foot of the hill behind the village.
Seeing that there were still more than two to three hundred soldiers resisting in a stone fort, Shan Xiongxin ordered the eight captains: "This is a great opportunity for military training. From now on, the eight of you will lead your own attacks in turns. Don't let the enemy have any chance."
There is no time to rest until all the stubborn rebels in the stone fort are annihilated, and no surrender is granted. The reconnaissance team disperses to be on guard. At the same time, people are sent to conduct reconnaissance to see if the rebels who escaped early have gathered together again. If so, inquire about them.
Traces of!"
…
…
The sun in the middle of the night casts a dazzling light on the treetops at the head of the northern cliff of Gao Yunbo, making it more difficult to attack the enemy's stone fort from above.
The eight captains personally led their respective county soldiers to attack the enemy base. The county soldiers had good morale, fought bravely, and were well trained. However, they lacked experience and could not deal with the rain of arrows, falling logs, and rolling stones from above.
There is no experience at all.
After clearing the obstacles, the formation is often easily disrupted by a thick piece of wood rolling down. This creates huge holes in the shield formation, which is very easy for enemy arrows to take advantage of. Many people are hit by arrows and fall down, and even the enemy soldiers are killed from the base.
If Shan Xiongxin hadn't ordered his own soldiers to resist in time, the county soldiers' attack sequence would have collapsed in the first blow.
Because he had to train troops, Shan Xiongxin did not interfere too much. However, during the whole process, Shan Xiongxin, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, frowned. He secretly thought that it was too wise for the prince to let these county soldiers come to destroy the rebels in order to train troops. They have not experienced actual combat.
The army, no matter how well and solidly trained it is, can never become an elite soldier.
The eight captains took turns leading their men into battle, clearing passages approaching the enemy's stone fort, consuming the enemy's fort's defensive strength, and creating an offensive position for their own attack on the thorny slopes in front of the enemy's fort.
In the plan, the stone-throwing vehicle is well set up, and after the enemy's stone fort is destroyed, it will easily kill hundreds of thieves in the stone fort.
It has to be said that Sun Anzu and Dou Jiande made a very wise decision when they chose to build a stone fort on the hill behind, because the terrain here was too steep.
Sun Anzu was finally woken up by his subordinates using ice water and other means. Dou Jiande made him drunk with strong liquor Guashan Liquor. When he woke up, he was shocked when he heard the report from his subordinates. He ran outside and saw Shi Anzu.
Outside the fort is Fanyang County’s unique trebuchet.
Sun Anzu served as a hundred-man leader in the imperial army more than ten years ago. In the past, lever-type sling crossbows were often seen. This kind of slinging crossbow requires more than ten, twenty or even dozens of people. Hundreds of people can operate it together. It usually takes fifty or sixty steps to set up a position.
Only in an open space can you launch stone projectiles calmly.
But in front of him, Sun Anzu had never seen this kind of rock-trebuchet equipped by the soldiers of Fanyang County and County in front of him, which could be directly erected in a narrow space and only required three or five people to operate.
"Where are the second master and the others? How long have the officers and soldiers been here? How come they were defeated so quickly, and only the stone castle was left." Sun Anzu asked with an ugly face.
At lunch, Dou Jiande said that he had made preparations outside his lair and set up an ambush. In addition, Dou Jiande also said that the spies he sent reported that Fanyang County officers and soldiers would not arrive until tomorrow morning, so Sun Anzu drank the good wine contributed by Dou Jiande with peace of mind.
, I don’t want to get drunk without drinking much.
Sun Dalang, the eldest son of Sun Anzu, quickly reported: "Father, the second master said in the evening that he wanted to dig a trap outside my village, but he suspected that there were spies from the army and soldiers nearby, so he ordered eight thousand people and horses to leave the village in twos and threes, saying that he was
We gathered at the ambush area outside the village, but as soon as it got dark, the officers and soldiers came to kill us, and the eight thousand people led by the second master were not seen."
Sun Anzu's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he cursed: "Dou Jiande, the bastard, shouldn't be like this! Could it be that there is another group of officers and soldiers, and Dou Jiande and the others are entangled."
"That's definitely the case. Let me tell everyone that the second master will lead his troops to come back for reinforcements soon. Let everyone hold on." Sun Anzu's face changed several times and he ordered.
…
…
The stone fort held on until dusk. When they saw that the stone wall of the stone fort was crumbling due to stone bullets, the county soldiers from Fanyang County pushed the carts from the front and pushed against the wood. The reinforcements of the second master Dou Jiande also disappeared. Sun Anzu
They were forced to abandon the stone fort, set fire to the warehouse, and led more than 200 remaining soldiers to retreat from the narrow road behind the stone fort to the deep mountains and dense forests behind Gaojibo.
Shan Xiongxin looked at the fire rising from the remaining fortress in the mountain and cursed bitterly: "This Sun Anzu, I gave him a chance to surrender, but he is determined to fight!"
There was a lot of fire in the remaining fortress, and the eight captains showed no fear and led their troops through the fire to pursue the remaining bandits.
Ascending from the enemy base, the mountain road became steeper and narrower, making it increasingly difficult to attack with a shield. Fortunately, Sun Anzu led the remaining bandits to retreat wholeheartedly.
The captain can lead his troops to climb up the mountain behind the remaining bandits.
Further up, there is the north cliff of the back mountain of Gaojibo. The bandits set up a sentry post on it. It can be said that it is the last dangerous point for the bandits.
"General, a spy just came to report that Dou Jiande, the second leader of the rebel bandits, gathered nearly 8,000 bandit soldiers who escaped early and fled deep into the mountains." Reconnaissance captain Liu Fangyi came to report.
Shan Xiong stared at Beiya with his telescope and cursed: "This Sun Anzu was able to gain the notoriety of touching the sheep in Qinghe County. He is indeed somewhat capable, but this Dou Jiande is afraid of death, or is too cunning to pass on the order."
Eight captains, kill Sun Anzu quickly, and we will go after Dou Jiande."
…
…
Sun Anzu led nearly 200 people to Beiya. Seeing that the pursuers were still fighting so hard in such a narrow passage, he felt very angry. His bows and crossbows could not penetrate the large shield, so he first sent more than 20 of his followers to guard the narrow passage to prevent the pursuers from charging.
After coming up, he directed his men to collect stones and wood, thinking that it would not be too late to cripple the pursuers before retreating into the mountains and forests...
