The first thousand two hundred and thirty-four chapters the means of the military intelligence gover
Xiong Kuohai led the cavalry to gallop back and forth outside the three square formations, roaring and waving the axes, sabers and short spears in their hands, but no one could break into the hedgehog formation of the county soldiers. They just ran back and forth feebly outside the formation.
Then, they used their strength to draw arcs of light in the air with their swords, venting their anger.
From time to time, bandits who fell off their horses roared and rushed towards the phalanx of the county soldiers. If these people were not hit by their own horses, they could rush to the front of the county soldiers' pikemen.
"kill!"
A row of county soldiers shouted at the same time. In front of ten spears that were stabbed diagonally from the ground at the same time, the bandit, who was quite skilled in martial arts, was immediately hit with seven or eight large wounds. When the spears were fired from him
After being extracted from the body, his life flowed out of the body along with the blood. The bandit's eyes were wide open, his throat was gurgling but he could no longer utter a word.
The bandit fell to his knees and propped himself up on the ground with a knife in his right hand. But it was just a moment, and he plunged into the soil. With the violent impact of his face and the earth, the leather helmet fell from his head.
It slipped off and rolled to the knees of a county soldier. However, the county soldier still maintained a squatting and kneeling posture, motionlessly holding his spear at an angle.
Xiong Kuohai led his cavalry in circles outside the square formation of the county soldiers, and the county soldiers kept firing crossbows at them again and again, causing more and more bandit cavalry to fall off their horses.
After repeated attempts, although Xiongkuohai roared again and again, they had to admit the reality. They had nothing to do against the hedgehog phalanx of these county soldiers, so they had to prepare to lead their men to withdraw from the battlefield.
It was only at this moment that he wanted to evacuate, but it was already too late. Following Shan Xiongxin's order, the drumbeats in the three county soldiers' phalanxes arranged in the word "pin" suddenly changed drastically, and the three phalanxes moved very quickly.
The speed increased, and when Xiong Kuohai reacted, he found that they had been surrounded in the middle. They could have rushed out, but after being surrounded for a long time, the horses' physical strength was extremely exhausted, and they had not been able to withdraw in time.
There was another loud beat of drums, and the spearmen stood up upon hearing the sound. Under the command of several captains, they pressed their nine-foot spears towards the Taihang Bandit Cavalry, which had only more than 700 people left.
The cavalry were trapped in the circle and could not increase their speed. They were faced with this kind of spear-hedgehog tactics. Soon the outermost cavalry was killed by the county soldiers who gathered around them.
Xiong Kuohai was so angry that he roared repeatedly. He relied on his strong strength to fight from left to right and killed nearly a hundred county soldiers alone. However, due to the strict discipline of the county soldiers and the inertia of daily training, every time he killed a person, the gap
It will be immediately replaced by county soldiers from behind.
In this way, the bandit cavalry was forced by the county soldiers to make their activity circle smaller and smaller. In the end, there were only more than 400 cavalry left, and they were driven into a group by more than 4,000 county soldiers. Their horses were tightly packed together, and everyone
They were all running backwards, trying to avoid the point of the spear that stretched right in front of their eyes.
At this time, each of the bandit cavalry on the outside had to face at least eight or nine spears. No matter how hard they waved their sabers, short spears and axes, they would be easily parried by three or four spears, followed by four more.
, five spears were stabbed into the belly of the horse. After being overturned to the ground by the dying horse, most of these brave bandits did not even have the chance to stand up again to resist, and were stabbed to death by several spears.
What's even more deadly is that behind these county soldiers' spearmen, there are many county soldiers holding fast crossbows and shooting upwards, directly shooting the cavalry high up through the crowd into sieves.
The overall situation here has been decided. Shan Xiongxin left 2,000 men to continue besieging the cavalry led by Xiong Kuohai, and asked Liu Fangyi to lead more than 700 cavalry and more than 2,000 county soldiers to push towards other mountain bandits and rebels, waiting for the county soldiers
When the spearmen pushed forward, the bandits and rebels who had hesitated whether to escape or rescue people resisted for a short time before being defeated. After being forced to the edge of the woods, they finally lost their fighting spirit completely. Some of them fled and escaped.
Entering the nearby dense forest, some of them dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
"The cavalry pursued and killed, while other county soldiers swept the battlefield, treated the wounded, and gathered prisoners."
Shan Xiongxin gave the order in time, and Liu Fangyi led his men to hunt down the defeated troops. Other county soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and gathered all the prisoners together to watch.
"Xiong Kuo Hai, if you surrender, all your brothers will live." Seeing that the fire was almost over, Shan Xiongxin ordered the county soldiers to stop attacking and shouted loudly outside the encirclement.
"The stupid Dou Jiande has tricked us to death this time." Xiong Kuohai was depressed to death. He felt that today's battle was extremely useless. What else could he do at this time? There was no mortal grudge against the other party, and they lost today.
Although it is strange, I am convinced. Besides, the one who surrendered is the famous King Qin An, and he is not a foreigner. There is no psychological burden of betrayal or anything like that. The most important thing is that no one is willing to die if he can survive. In the remaining four hundred years,
Under the pitiful begging eyes of his subordinate brother, Xiong Kuohai, with a depressed look on his face, kept his ax in the ground and jumped off his horse.
Seeing this, the other more than 400 bandit cavalry breathed a sigh of relief and quickly disarmed their weapons and jumped off their horses to express their surrender.
After marching for a long time and fighting for a long time, the soldiers were exhausted, so Shan Xiongxin ordered them to camp where they were and rest.
That night, the local gentry heard that the rebels in the county had been wiped out, and they all went to the military camp to work.
Early the next morning, Liu Fangyi came back escorting hundreds of prisoners. Two of the prisoners were carrying a stretcher, and it turned out to be the injured Dou Jiande.
"Yes, Liu Fangyi, you have made great achievements." Shan Xiongxin did not expect that Liu Fangyi would capture Dou Jiande, and he was also very happy. In this way, their cross-county annihilation of the rebels could be considered a success.
"General, this is not the result of a humble position." Liu Fangyi smiled bitterly, pulled a man in rebel attire behind him to the front, and introduced to Shan Xiongxin: "General, this is the spy from the Military Intelligence Agency who infiltrated the rebel Dou Jiande.
, it was he who drugged the soup that Dou Jiande and his group of rebels drank last night, and by the time they left, these hundreds of rebels had already been poisoned by the Mongolian sweat medicine and were lying motionless."
Shan Xiongxin was also taken aback. He looked at the spy carefully and said with emotion: "Your Military Intelligence Agency is so good at it! After returning to Fanyang County, I will report your contribution in the report."
"I'm an undercover agent from the Military Intelligence Agency, Li Chenggui. Thank you so much, General Shan." The agent quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
Shan Xiongxin nodded, and the spy stepped aside. At this time, Sun Tieya, who had been dressed as a soldier behind Shan Xiongxin, said: "Shan Lang, give Dou Jiande to me. I will kill him with my own hands."
Shan Xiongxin hesitated for a moment, and was about to agree, when Liu Fangyi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General, since the leader of the thief has been captured alive, he should be escorted back and handed over to the manager."
