Never underestimate the will to survive of these bandits in the mountains, and never underestimate the tremendous energy they unleash when facing desperate situations.
Run away if you can't fight, this is a skill that all bandits in the mountains must master, and it is also regarded by them as the principle to survive in the mountains. Whether they are Huangzhushan bandits or bandits from other gangs, they are all very good at it.
He ran away in the face of battle, and ran very fast.
The enemy is often left helpless and can only look at their backs and sigh.
What will they do if they are really unlucky and are surrounded and unable to escape? Will they wait for death in despair? Or will they fight bravely until the last moment?
no way!
Strong and brave bandits will never do this. They will never, ever wait for death or fight until the last moment.
They will surrender bravely and proudly!
Just like the gentlemen on the European battlefield, they will put down their last weapon, walk in front of the enemy with their heads held high, and proudly say that I want to surrender!
And those victorious bandits are also very gentlemanly. They will accept the enemy's surrender regardless of past suspicions and give them the treatment they deserve: put away their weapons, trap their hands, and then rush towards them like pigs.
Lair!
In the near future, these defeated and surrendered bandits will become the new members of the winning bandit gang!
This is the way of survival of mountain bandits, full of human wisdom and perseverance!
In order to survive in the mountains, they are willing to pay whatever price they can!
Merely escaping and surrendering is nothing!
Leader Li raised the small white flag on the tip of his sword. What happened next is beyond words. Under the leadership of Leader Li, the bandits surrendered obediently and orderly. During the whole process, including Li Zhai
None of the bandits, including the Lord, made any actual resistance.
Butcher Chen and the others at the back were not idle either. Although they did not rush over to join the battle in the end, Butcher Chen had already led twenty people in the rear to control the old, weak, women and children who were wandering the bandits.
By the afternoon, the victorious Huangzhushan bandits escorted more than 400 prisoners back to Huangzhushan.
This time they went back much faster than when they came here, and because they were close to Huangzhu Mountain, Fang Dongquan and the others were quite familiar with the roads, so they continued on their way even when night fell.
The hundreds of meters long team held torches and marched on the winding mountain road, like a fire dragon circling in the dark night.
It was already midnight when they returned to Huangzhu Mountain, but it was bright up and down Huangzhu Mountain in the middle of the night. Li Xuan and Liu Bagou had already learned about the frontline news from the messenger as early as the evening.
It was known that the army on the front line had achieved a complete victory, and almost none of the bandits escaped, and all of them were captured.
In order to welcome the return of the army, Liu Bagou and the others started making preparations in the evening. The first thing was to prepare food to reward the army that had been fighting outside for several days.
In addition, we also need to prepare a place to house those more than 400 captives!
Although these bandits are still prisoners at present, when they return to Huangzhu Mountain, they will become subjects of the Tang Dynasty.
It is quite important to settle them, integrate them and start production.
After all, these are more than 400 people. Their addition will bring the total population of Huangzhushan to exceed 4,000. For the weak Tang Dynasty, population is the foundation of a country. With a population of more than 400, it has
It was enough for Li Xuan to arrange it himself.
Of course, not everyone will be treated as a subject of the Tang Dynasty immediately. Several of the more important leaders of this group of bandits need to be treated differently.
For example, Village Leader Li, and the old man Xie who wanted to escape with his family during the chaos, but was caught by Butcher Chen before he could escape a hundred meters. When the hunchbacked old man was caught, his face was ashen, and he even despaired for a time.
He wanted to grab the knife and commit suicide, but when Butcher Chen put the knife in front of him, he lost the courage to kill himself with the knife.
But that night, Li Xuan and the others were obviously not in the mood to deal with Village Leader Li and Old Man Xie. His focus was on the ordinary prisoners and the soldiers who had just returned from victory.
When Fang Dongquan and the others were given a break, Qian Mengjiu, the supervising soldier who represented the expedition, reported the details of the battle to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan listened very carefully to the battle process. From the detailed battle process he heard, Li Xuan found that the intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities of the New Army of the Tang Dynasty were still too poor. The enemy sneaked up to the flanks but was not discovered. This made Li Xuan
I feel that it is necessary to establish a special scout force in the later stage.
In addition, when ambushed at the beginning of the battle, only the First Fusiliers were able to effectively and quickly change formations. This also proves one thing, that is, the musketeers of the First Fusiliers have already mastered battlefield discipline and formation training.
It is far more than several other teams.
In addition, the number of spearmen operating in the brigade was too bloated. The spearmen of three groups operating together were unable to flexibly respond to unexpected situations.
During the later training, it is necessary to strengthen the individual combat capabilities of the spearmen of each brigade. In addition to being able to coordinate together to form a central army for decisive battles, the spearmen of the three groups should also be able to flexibly maneuver and fight alone.
In addition, in this battle, the heavy armored sword and shield team of the new army also played an extremely important role!
If the bandit division that attacked from the flank was defeated by the First Musketeers, then the main bandit force of more than 100 people led by Village Master Li himself was defeated by the heavy armored sword and shield soldiers led by Cai Erhu!
Because before the main force of the Chinese army led by Fang Dongquan, that is, the more than a hundred spearmen, Cai Erhu had already led the heavy armored sword and shield soldiers to break up the enemy's formation, causing the main force of the enemy to collapse and forcing
Leader Li surrendered.
In other words, in this battle, the Tang Dynasty King's Division seemed to have invested more than 300 people, but the only ones actually participating in the battle were the First Musket Team and the Sixth Sword Shield Team. At most, some of the archers were also included.
Although people are also on the battlefield, they are not actually fighting against the enemy.
There is no need to mention the importance of musketeers. This is a brand new unit in this Eastern country. Relying on the matchlock gun invented by Li Xuan, its combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of Western musketeers of the same era. Even because of the crosshairs
, sleeve bayonet, and the emergence of paper-cased fixed ammunition, the matchlock gun developed by Li Xuan has directly crossed the early and middle stages of the matchlock gun and directly entered the most mature era of the matchlock gun.
This battle not only proved once again that musketeers are very important and can even be strategic weapons that can determine the outcome on the battlefield in the future, this battle also made Li Xuan see the importance of heavy armored infantry!
To be more precise, it made Li Xuan see the importance of armor!
