Chapter 1179: Empty Village
In the shouting and complaining, the 4,000 officers and soldiers began to march towards the Zhuangzi in the west, on this road, the order was already somewhat unmaintainable, and some soldiers began to flee while the generals were not paying attention, and the cavalry were also absent-minded in pursuit, and there were even cases where the cavalry could not be recovered.
However, most of them are still in the team, and they didn't go in when they passed by a few small villages, because everyone knows that at the moment such a scene is a death, and the strength of the brigade is also large, and they can cover each other, and the small village can't accommodate so many people, and the other party can break through it with force, only the big Zhuangzi village can hold it, but there are always those who are bold enough to escape, and there is no way.
The commotion, the chaotic march, walked for two and a half hours, the sky was already dark, the official army brigade finally came to this Zhuangzi, after seeing the earthen wall around the Zhuangzi, everyone couldn't help but speed up the pace, they did not dare to attack the city, but they took this Zhuangzi but grasped it, there were warm houses in the Zhuangzi, there were wine, meat and food, and even women, thinking of this, the energy was high.
The officers and soldiers did not completely lose their rules, and the horse scouts sent outside still passed the news back and forth, and kept sending the news back to the Xuzhou people, and the three thousand men and horses were very calm, and they began to advance towards this side after coming to the city of Suzhou, not fast, but they did not delay, and they were going to camp outside this village tonight.
As for the Xuzhou cavalry from the south, the officers and soldiers didn't dare to think about it and simply didn't think about it, the cavalry couldn't take the stockade after all, and it was good to retreat in and defend it when the time came, and the officials and soldiers didn't know the movement over there, because none of the scouts sent out came back, and they didn't know whether they were lost or fled, and they simply didn't care after being sent a few times.
What really makes people have a sense of urgency is the force that will come over in a few hours, if the people in this Zhuangzi are stubbornly defending, and they can't take down the other party and then arrive, the four thousand officers and troops will collapse on the whole line, although Le Qianhu has made the idea of fleeing to Henan, but it is equivalent to carrying the responsibility of escaping from the battle, and the future of wealth is all gone, and now the soldiers and horses under this command are the guarantee of the future of wealth and wealth, as long as there are soldiers, they can deduct military salaries, as long as there are soldiers, the boss does not dare to blame the guilt, even if he goes to the official, he can still make a meritorious service. But if there are no soldiers, then life and death are up to their own family.
"Arrange the attack on the village, each battalion will take turns to go up, the retreater will be beheaded by the marching method, and the first to open the door will be rewarded, and he will be given two big girls!" Guerrilla Le Qianhu roared and said, and the thousands of battalion officers below him also knew that they could not be lazy at this time, and roared angrily urging their subordinates to step forward.
However, everyone also kept an eye on it, all staring at the location of Le Qianhu's personal soldiers, the military salary and reward silver for this expedition have been made into a burden and distributed among the horses, but the largest share is on Le Qianhu's side, if the lord will flee first, everyone must follow first, so as not to lose both people and money.
"The door is open!" Someone shouted wildly.
Zhuangzi on this plain, there must be an earthen fence and a deep ditch, otherwise there is no way to defend against thieves and horses, and the city gate is closed when it is dark, Zhuangzi also hangs the drawbridge before dark, and if you want to attack it, you can only climb the ditch, and you will be discovered by the Zhuang Ding on the wall.
The officials and soldiers only cared about preparing to attack, and they didn't care much about the reaction of the village, in their minds, the four thousand officers and soldiers in front of the Xuzhou thieves may hold their breath, it is still easy to deal with an ordinary Zhuangzi, but they didn't expect that the light was dark, the drawbridge was placed on the trench, and the gate was actually hidden, which made people stunned and surprised.
"Beware of ambushes, rush in, rush in!" Someone muttered, but the officers and sergeants are already a little unrestrained, whoever can go in first, who can get more benefits, who can grab more money and women, at least can have a better place to live, originally from the rush to the present, the generals are becoming more and more unable to restrain the following, at this time the benefits are in front, who still presses it.
There was no ambush in this big Zhuangzi, but there was no one, not even a living thing, but there were foxes who stole in at some point and were alarmed, every house, every shack was carefully searched, the cellar in the house, all the places that could be bright and dark, were carefully searched, more than once, no one left, no livestock, no food, only some stupid things that could not be taken away.
"Is it clear?" Guerrilla Le Qianhu muttered, the faces of all the generals were ugly, Suzhou is the territory of Xuzhou thieves, and there are Xuzhou thieves' granges everywhere, everyone has the idea of plundering the grange and fattening themselves, but they didn't expect the other party to use such a desperate means.
"General, what should I do?" More than one person asked this sentence.
"What to do, camp on the spot, our food can still be eaten for three days, they are chasing so urgently, they may not bring enough food, as long as they retreat, we will go around to collect food, damn, this Ming Wang's land, can still hide there, everyone, arrange for rotation at night, these days are a matter of life and death, this will be a strict military law, who wants to commit it in the hands of this general, don't blame the unsympathetic!" Guerrilla Thousand Tigers said.
The generals of the officers and soldiers all knew that they could not be ambiguous at this time, and they all agreed with great confidence.
Although this road is in a hurry and panic, after all, it has not yet reached the end of ammunition and food, although this Zhuangzi does not have the expected women and goods, but also gives everyone a place to live, there is a fortress for guarding, after making a fire to make food, the officers and soldiers began to patrol with their own guards, this time it is extremely strict, whoever makes a small mistake will be immediately caught out and beaten, or even directly beheaded, which makes thousands of officers and soldiers become quiet and clean, and the morale of the army is maintained.
Since the guerrilla Le Qianhu below, the generals with money in their hands each squeezed out some silver money and sent it down, and then promised to reward and loot, which finally made the soldiers motivated, and the personal soldiers around the guerrilla Le Qianhu also led the team to the wall to watch the night, no one can be an exception, which made the team a lot more stable, and the officers and soldiers were discussing in private, this Le guerrilla came out of Beijing in the end, and he was well-informed and thoughtful.
After it was completely dark, when the officers and soldiers on duty on the wall were about to take a nap, they saw a fire dragon coming in the distance, and hurriedly warned them, and the officers and soldiers who had been on standby for a long time immediately lined up, so nervous that the fire dragon approached, although there were no secret sentinels and rangers patrolling outside at this time, it could be judged from the torches and marching that this was the three thousand foot soldiers, and they followed all the way.
The night battle is the most dangerous, but the officers and soldiers still have a little more confidence, they have bows, arrows and firearms in their hands, and there are earthen fences and trenches as a basis, the defender always has a great advantage over the attacker, and this night battle is easy to stabilize the defending side, and the attacking side is easy to mess up if there is a slight change.
However, what relieved the officers and soldiers was that the 3,000 men and horses who pursued over did not start fighting directly, but camped a few hundred steps away from Zhuangzi, lit a fire there and spent the night, and finally settled down after a tired day.
Just after dawn the next day, the generals hurriedly dressed up and prepared, but unexpectedly, until the sun rose, the other party did not want to start attacking, almost when the officers and soldiers were relaxed, they could see this group of men and horses slowly approaching the wall, and the officers and soldiers were nervous to fight, but then, this army of soldiers and horses just stopped, and there was no intention of attacking at all.
What's even more strange is that this team of people and horses carrying equipment and wooden frames, I thought they were going to attack, but they didn't expect to put the wooden frames and bamboo frames in front of their arrays, so they stood still, but more than 100 of these horses were running around Zhuangzi, as if they were observing the transmission.
The queue is very neat, and the generals who watch on the wall all know in their hearts, their own soldiers and horses are not so rigorous, and the opponent's actions are very efficient, this obviously has a strong military atmosphere, everyone even understands that the team that can do these will definitely be a vicious battle to attack Zhuangzi, and if it is not good, it will not be able to hold it, but it is strange that the other party does not move, so it is deadlocked.
After more than an hour, I can see that the team is constantly gathering and changing, but it has never stepped forward, and no matter how it is divided, it will only change into a team of about a thousand people.
"Can't wait like this, toss again, the Xuzhou cavalry of the brigade will also come up, and when the time comes, there will be more than us, not to mention that this Suzhou is equal to the territory of Xuzhou thieves, we will become more and more passive, point together the soldiers and horses to go out to test it, and if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will withdraw." Guerrilla Le Qianhu frowned and said.
There was no objection to this order, and the command arrangement of the guerrilla Le Qianhu was also very convincing to everyone, he let his cronies go to war, and he led his own guards to suppress the formation, ready to take the battalion leaders sent out at any time.
First, two hundred cavalry ran out of the drawbridge and gathered in a formation outside, lest the other party take advantage of the unstable foothold on this side to attack hard, but the other party obviously did not want to grasp this fighter, and the reaction was very strange, they held a wooden bamboo frame and carried a bamboo row on their backs, slowly moved forward, and they had to arrange a formation after a few steps, looking as if they were surrounded by the bamboo and wood tripod.
This army is so strange, so slow to move, but it makes the officers and soldiers bold, some of the officers and cavalry began to fight the horses and approach, close to a stone's throw away, they accelerated to turn, and ran over, this man and horse stopped whenever a cavalry came, as if they were frightened, just turned a few times, and the officers and soldiers also found something wrong.
"The thief army doesn't seem to have bows and arrows, nor does it have armor, doesn't it mean that all the thieves in Xuzhou have iron armor to protect themselves? Except for the spear in his hand, he couldn't see any elite appearance, obviously afraid and panicked. "The cavalry who passed by saw a lot of things, and when they came back, they reported it.
