Su Jiakang had fought many times with the puppet Tang bandits, and he knew very well who he was going to face. Those people were a group of bandits and refugees. As long as they fought head-on, Su Jiakang was confident that he could completely annihilate them in one fell swoop.
But precisely because they are bandits and refugees, the officers and soldiers immediately ran away as soon as they saw them, and like loaches, they were very slippery. After they ran away, it was basically impossible to catch up with them in the mountains.
They may even lead them around in circles in the mountains, wasting time.
Just like the previous two times when he took people into the mountains, he was led in circles by the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain on those two occasions, and in the end he could only return without success.
Even those two unsuccessful returns caused an impatience when entering the mountain for the third time, which led to being too aggressive and being ambushed.
So this time, Su Jiakang did not intend to repeat the same mistakes no matter what. He would not rush forward impatiently or be led in circles foolishly. This time, his goal was clear and simple, that is, to find Huang Zhushan's lair and destroy their lair in one go.
They burned their houses and destroyed all the crops in their fields.
If he did this, he wouldn't believe that the bandits in Huangzhushan could still watch their lair being destroyed?
He doesn't believe it!
Because once those people in Huangzhushan lost their base, these puppet Tang rebels would become rootless people. Not only would they have no place to stay, but Su Jiakang would also face the problem of lack of food and clothing.
He knew very well that the thousands of rebel bandits from the Puppet Tang Dynasty could not survive by robbing food, and there were no other bandit dens in the mountains that the rebel bandits from the Puppet Tang Dynasty could plunder. As for the Puppet Tang dealers,
He wanted to go out on a large scale to plunder.
The rebels of the Tang Dynasty could hide it from the officers and soldiers by sending only a few dozen people out of the mountain, but if they sent hundreds of people out of the mountain, the officers and soldiers would be able to detect it in time no matter how stupid they were.
So whether the rebels of the puppet Tang Dynasty wanted to prevent him from destroying Huangzhu Mountain, or whether they came out to rob the mountain due to lack of food in the future, this played into Su Jiakang's plan.
Once the rebels of the Tang Dynasty confront the traitors head-on, he is sure to kill them all in one decisive battle, thereby achieving great feats and achieving three levels in a row.
So now he wants to force the Tang rebels to fight him head-on, instead of running around like loaches like loaches, unable to catch them even if they want to.
Even if the rebels of the Tang Dynasty cannot be forced to take the initiative to fight, after losing their home base of Huangzhu Mountain, although the mountain is big, there will be no place for these bereaved dogs. When the time comes, they will be killed slowly and they will be wiped out.
, at most it just takes a little more time.
Su Jiakang had these plans, so he was naturally unwilling to change them easily, and went straight to pursue the puppet Tang thief army behind him, because once he did this, it was very likely that the previous tragedies would be repeated, and he would be captured by the puppet army.
The Tang rebel army led them in circles in the mountains.
So after hesitating, I just heard him say: "We are not going back. We must continue to move forward until we find their lair. Why would they come to harass our grain transport team? Isn't it just to attract our attention and then pursue them? Ben
The officials will never give them this chance. Huh, if you want to surround Wei and save Zhao, you have to see if they have the ability!"
Having said this, Su Jiakang showed a calm and calm look as if he had seen through the world: "Let the east wind rage, I am too proud to stand still!"
Su Jiakang's confident look made Mr. Wu and Diao Leixun on the side slightly change their expressions. Mr. Wu's expression changed slightly, showing a thoughtful expression, while Diao Leixun showed an expression of great admiration.
Then he complimented: "Your Excellency is very clever, and with your clever calculations, we can annihilate the puppet Tang traitor army in just a matter of days!"
Su Jiakang touched his goatee, nodded slightly and said: "However, although we still want to go to Huangzhushan, the grain transport team must also take strict precautions. They must not be allowed to succeed again. Except for the county
Yong Wai, Diao Qianhu, you also sent two hundred households to serve as escorts. They are just a group of bandits and refugees. Is it possible that they can really cut off our food route?"
Su Jiakang didn't believe that those people from the pseudo-Tang thief army could have these abilities!
The previous grain transport teams were relatively small, usually consisting of dozens of civilians plus more than a dozen escorting county warriors. But now if the civilians and escorting soldiers are gathered together, hundreds of people can be transported on a large scale at one time.
By transporting military rations, this problem can be solved.
Just like what he said, couldn't those puppet Tang rebels still attack a grain transport team with hundreds of people and escorted by three to four hundred people?
But this time, Mr. Wu spoke up: "I heard that there are more than 500 people in the puppet Tang bandit army. Even though these are bandits and refugees, if there are fewer people, accidents are still easy to happen. Why don't we send more people?
, Anyway, all the elite troops of the puppet Tang thief army are out, and there are probably only women, children, and some old and weak people left in Huangzhushan, so there is no need for so many of us!"
Hearing this, Su Jiakang glanced at Mr. Wu. What this man said made sense!
After thinking about it carefully, it is really like this. There are only so many people in Huangzhushan, and only a few hundred young people can survive. Now that there are 500 people appearing behind them, it means that there are no people in their old nest.
There are so many people to fight with.
In this case, more people can be left to deal with the puppet Tang rebel army, and then he can lead the remaining people to Huangzhu Mountain.
And at this time, Su Jiakang also remembered the battle at Luohu Valley, and he was a little worried. The rebels of the Tang Dynasty had always been bold and ignorant, and they might not dare to attack a grain transport team with hundreds of people. After all, they were ignorant.
People who are cruel are more terrifying than cruel people, because the latter will have scruples when they know the stakes, while the former don't have enough brains to consider the stakes at all, so they have no scruples when doing things.
He immediately said to Diao Leixun: "In this case, Diao Qianhu, you and your troops will start escorting the army rations from today on. If you have the chance, you will entangle those pseudo-Tang thieves!"
After dispatching 600 regular troops, plus the original 200 young men in the grain transport team, there will be 800 people, and this does not include the civilian men.
With so many people guarding the grain road, he can march to Huangzhu Mountain with peace of mind!
When Diao Leixun heard Su Jiakang's words, he was a little worried and said: "Sir, if we divide our troops rashly, will we give Thief Li an opportunity to take advantage of it?"
Looking at the fear in Diao Leixun's eyes, Su Jiakang flashed a look of displeasure. This Diao Leixun was frightened by the puppet Tang rebel army last time during the Battle of Luohu Valley. Facing a group of bandits and refugees, he actually said that it would be dangerous to divide his troops.
?
There is such a danger. As long as you, Diao Leixun, don't stupidly sneak into someone else's ambush again, what else can the pseudo-Tang bandits do to you with more than 800 people?
If the Puppet Tang thief army really dares to intercept grain again, as long as you entangle the Puppet Tang thief army, then he will lead his army to fight back and directly annihilate the main force of the Puppet Tang thief army in one fell swoop.
It's just that Su Jiakang estimated that there were a few smart people in the Puppet Tang rebel army, who wouldn't do such a stupid thing, and probably wouldn't act stupidly against the grain team escorted by seven or eight hundred people.
But Su Jiakang didn't know that the kings and ministers in the Tang Dynasty were really not as smart as he thought!
Having just successfully plundered a hundred-man Ming army grain transport team, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, including Li Xuan, were greatly confident and were thinking about how to do something big again.
"As long as we rob a few more grain teams in the past few days, the Ming troops in front will have to come out of the mountains, otherwise they will starve to death!" Butcher Chen raised his head and drank a mouthful of the wine he just robbed, laughing.
He said: "This battle was fought happily!"
Li Xuan looked at Butcher Chen and other people with happy faces, and he himself was also smiling!
His luck seems to have exploded in the past few days. After annihilating the main force of more than 60 Ming troops three days ago, according to the confessions of the prisoners, they crawled deep into the mountains and forests for three full days, almost exhausting Li Xuan.
Down.
However, we were exhausted, but we were very lucky. As soon as we emerged from the deep mountains and old forests, we ran into a Ming army's grain transport team.
With the conscience of heaven and earth, Li Xuan swore that he had absolutely no plan to ambush this grain transport team, but just bumped into it by coincidence.
Now that they have met, the bandits in Huangzhushan will naturally not be polite, and they quickly show the decisiveness, determination and sophistication of the old bandits!
They did not form a formation at all, but rushed directly to the Ming army's grain transport team. Their momentum was like thunder, and their formation was like a wave.
They have done this kind of thing countless times and already have a complete set of skilled routines.
This time was no different from any other robbery they had carried out in the past. The only thing missing was that they did not hold up the black flag and shout that I opened this road and planted this tree. If they want to start from now on,
Pass by and leave some money to buy the way!
That posture and scene made Li Xuan behind him want to cover his face!
You are the Royal Master of the Tang Dynasty. Can you have some awareness of being the Royal Master of the Tang Dynasty? Can you not rush up screaming at the sight of food? People who don’t know see it and think you are starving to death!
The only thing that comforted Li Xuan was that the young men of the Guards did not make a mess like the standing army, but still marched in order.
The Ming army's grain transport team opposite saw hundreds of bandits dressed in colorful clothes and looking like savages rushing out. At first, a general in the lead seemed to want to organize a manpower to resist, but when he saw that there were not dozens of people coming, but a group of bandits.
After hundreds of people, he ran faster than anyone else!
Fortunately, this man still had some conscience. Before leaving, he did not forget to take his men with him and shouted: "Evacuate!"
The bandits from Huangzhushan rushed over in a swarm, and the county warriors and civilian husbands of the Ming Army also threw down their food and baggage and ran away!
Regarding this grain-cutting battle, the Tang Dynasty King's Division can proudly declare that they defeated the Ming army with zero casualties and captured countless items.
At the same time, the Ming army can also proudly announce: Facing the puppet Tang bandit army that was several times larger than its own, our Ming army calmly and calmly faced it, and finally successfully escaped from the encirclement of the enemy army, and no one was killed.
hurt!
A zero-casualty battle that a certain superpower in the 21st century has been pursuing so hard, and which is estimated to be impossible to achieve in another 180 years, has been perfectly realized in the hands of the Tang Dynasty King Division and the Ming Dynasty Army!
From this perspective, Li Xuan can proudly say: Datang is more powerful than a certain superpower in the twenty-first world!
