Chapter 987: Breaking the Army Is Not a Complete Achievement, Calming the Disaster is Called a Success [Three Shifts]
"I should have thought of it a long time ago, I should have thought of it a long time ago, this leader ......"
Looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, Zhao Hong's expression was blank, and a sentence appeared in his mind-
Defeat is like a mountain!
The chaos in the camp has been going on for a while, from the appearance of the humane thunder to the fall of eight monks to the ground, but in the time of a cup of tea, the entire camp of the White Lotus Sect has shown signs of collapse.
This was not caused by the fall of the monks, but the scene of the fall caused a serious blow to the morale of the soldiers!
You must know that when those few people were in the sky, they used the method of combined attacks, and they also drew a trace of the spirit of the white lotus soldiers everywhere and gathered them into a momentum.
This is not intentional by a few monks, but they and the core soldiers have undergone special training, and there is a certain connection invisibly, and when the monks operate their magical powers, the connection is magnified, so as to counteract the evil spirit of the military formation formed by these soldiers.
But these benefits have now become disadvantages.
Qiu Yan's method of rejecting supernatural powers is actually very simple, almost rude, that is, to use the network of humanity to mobilize humane thunder and dispel all the supernatural aura that does not belong to humanity.
In the literary network, there are more than 10,000 power of order wandering, and there are many great Confucians sitting and discussing, the flow of literature and thought is as fierce as a surging river, and the human thunder mobilized is so strong, how can eight monks of the third realm withstand it?
Not only did they not be able to bear it, but along with the contact, many of the core soldiers of the White Lotus Sect were also affected, and they were directly suppressed by the spirit.
Such a change was an unexpected joy for Qiu Yan.
He already has an understanding of the refining method of the White Lotus Sect, but he can't get an example, because the soldiers have the support of supernatural powers, even if they are not defeated, they are secretive, and they can join forces to escape, when they dealt with the Shu army before. Qiu Yan didn't check for a while, and let the core soldiers who had been refined thousands of times fall into the water and die.
Now, because of the relationship between the eight monks, the morale of the soldiers has dropped, not to mention, the balance of the supernatural powers after being refined has also been broken, the original White Lotus soldiers were under the command, and they were still able to resist the earth mines and attacks, but now after the spirit was shaken, their minds wandered, and their limbs were not very comfortable. Impeachment and belligerents?
Under the impact of soldiers and horses, the White Lotus soldiers completely lost their rules, looking at the crooked appearance, not like trained soldiers, but like a group of farmers with acceptable force, who came to attack the enemy with weapons, and they were completely a rabble.
Not to mention, Qiu Yan had already arranged for Liu Hong and others to lead the follow-up soldiers and horses. Approached the officers and soldiers after surrendering, blended into it, and attacked inside and outside.
The number of officers and soldiers who surrendered was already huge, even if the White Lotus Army had a way to connect the generals. Count the subordinates and the number of people, and restrain them, but in the previous war, there were many casualties among the middle and low-level generals of the officers and soldiers. There are a lot of vacancies and omissions, and the soldiers do not know the generals, and they will not be clear. was caught by Qiu Yan and let thousands of people get in.
However, this kind of infiltration was only temporary, and suddenly there were thousands more, and as long as anyone paid attention, they would find that if they were in the newspaper, they would be exposed.
But from the discovery to the report to the above, there is a time lag after all, and this time is enough for Liu Hong and others to act according to Qiu Yan's instructions.
At this time, it was revealed that the army trained by Qiu Yan was actually in the enemy camp, divided the troops into units, marched separately, and then assembled in one place according to the methods in the training on weekdays.
At the time of the exercise, there were all kinds of simulation training and study, including infiltration and infiltration, and how to distinguish the direction and communication after dividing the enemy camp.
Soon after, this group of men and horses regrouped, Liu Hong, Yang Huang and others didn't have time to feel that Qiu Yan was training his troops to be strong, and they saw the flames and thunder in the White Lotus Sect base camp, and they knew that Qiu Yan had done it, so they also took advantage of the situation and launched an offensive.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Hong'an's camp is quite orderly, even if it is a captive army, it has a strict arrangement, surrounded by layers, and there are more trenches between each other, which can be attacked and retreated.
But such a strict arrangement, but was destroyed by many haystacks, Liu Hong and others just threw this simple thing forward, and filled the trench, and then the forward attacked, the rear army set fire to the haystack, and suddenly turned the trench into a Hades ditch, and the soldiers inside lost all their combat power.
It was the murder and arson that made a mess of this well-arranged camp!
Suddenly, the periphery of the fire continued, the thunder was endless, the morale and spirit of the soldiers in the entire battalion were stirred up, this army fought for the attack, the courage in the heart is actually very important, if there is no bravery, even if it is a city of soldiers and civilians, maybe it is not as good as the enemy of less than 100 people.
Now, this White Lotus Army Formation is exactly such a situation, the more chaotic it is, the more difficult it is to control, especially the Honda prisoners and soldiers in the army, their minds are swaying, and they are frightened, and they are even more chaotic.
The most terrible thing is that the command system of the servant army has not yet been established, once it is chaotic, it is difficult to restrain it, if in the past, with the special means of the White Lotus Sect, it can be forcibly banned with extraordinary power, and now with the looming thunder in the sky, it is difficult to work.
Immediately there were a number of dead and wounded.
However, the direct damage caused by the soldiers and horses commanded by Qiu Yan is not much, after all, there are only a few thousand of them, even if they let go of killing, how much can they kill in a short period of time?
A lot of casualties are actually casualties caused by the soldiers and horses of the White Lotus Sect crowding, pushing, trampling, and trampling on each other under the chaos!
Don't underestimate the unconscious injuries of the chaotic crowd, the consequences are often more severe than direct killing, which is also the reason why the two armies fought more in the history books and destroyed less.
As soon as the army collapsed, fleeing in all directions, there were fugitives all over the mountains, and no matter how elite the generals were, they could not pursue them.
"These remnants of the army are a big threat to the surrounding cities and villages, and I hope that the letters I sent to several prefectures will be kept by them, even if they are not serious, at least don't be unprepared. ”
Looking at the scattered figures in the distance, Qiu Yan turned his mind.
He marched this time, first defeated the White Lotus Army into Shu, and then crossed the swamp and turned north, through Chu and arrived at the river, to obtain is a "disease" word, using the exploration ability of the network, as well as the other party's information, with information asymmetry and elite soldiers, one drum to defeat the enemy's maximum strength, lay the general trend, and then slowly map it, so when marching, secrecy is very important, one does not notice, not only can not break the enemy, but also can throw themselves into the net.
In the final analysis, if it weren't for Qiu Yan's intention, at this time, in the south, there would have been no military entity capable of fighting against the White Lotus Sect.
But there are some things that will not change because of people's actions, such as the direction of the wind of the rout, but they can reduce the danger by calculating more and preparing more.
Therefore, before the official march, Qiu Yan had already passed the guò literary network, contacted the surrounding cities, condensed pen and ink letters, and left books to warn, but then it depends on the arrangements of each city itself, after all, in the final analysis, Qiu Yan is only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to cover everything.
"Doing things is in people, and things are in heaven, so I can only do my own things first......"
Thinking like this, Qiu Yan drew his long sword from his waist, shook the reins, and rushed forward, wanting to pursue the router-
That Zhao Hongguo is a general, after the shock, he made a decisive decision, with the only remaining combat strength, did not fight, and retreated!
Qiu Yan had already known through the literary network that this Zhao Hongli was a serial camp, and in addition to this base camp, there were several large battalions that supported each other, in order to prevent being trapped in one place.
It was precisely because there were too many prisoners who had been recruited that they had turned into barriers on the periphery, and now they were suddenly chaotic, and the core soldiers and horses of the White Lotus Army were surrounded inside, and they could not advance or retreat.
In addition, several monks were connected, so that many soldiers were implicated and their limbs were not coordinated, so there were actually only a few people who were taken away by Zhao Hong.
"Bachelor's ......"
At this time, there was a shout from afar, but it was Yang Huang and the others who had arrived, and they led the army to intercept and kill from the outside, and joined Qiu Yan's men and horses, and after a few breaths, they arrived in front of Qiu Yan, their faces excited.
"Great victory! Another great victory! Although the number of subordinates is not counted, we will ...... with 5,000 men."
"Count the battle damage, and then leave a hundred people, tie these people up, and keep them strictly guarded," Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Qiu Yan issued an order, pointing to the core White Lotus soldier who did not belong to the divine soul, leaving such a sentence, and then the words changed, "The others will rest for a while, and continue to pursue with me!"
"Continue the pursuit?" Yang Huang's eyes lit up.
"Not bad!" Qiu Yan nodded, "This White Lotus Rebellion has affected most of the south, and we have only broken through the camp along the river, which is not a complete success, and it will only be considered complete when this disaster is calmed down." ”
"Let's put this disaster to rest!"
Hearing this, Yang Huang, Liu Hong and others all gasped, and then realized that Qiu Yan's appetite was huge, but then they remembered the achievements at this time, and felt that this statement was not an exaggeration, and they were all eager to try, and they had the intention to make great contributions and leave a name in history.
Qiu Yan glanced at a few people and said, "Rise up and be brave, and be cautious." ”
..................
The other side......
Qiu Yan's battle record, due to various reasons, has always been delayed a lot, and the court still doesn't know, what is being discussed at this time is that the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person.
In ancient dynasties, the emperor was the core, and there was no room for mistakes, and the sword on the battlefield had no eyes, and the victory or defeat was difficult to measure.
Therefore, after Li Kun's idea was thrown out, the ministers jointly opposed it, but Li Kun's resolute will could not be stopped, and some local officials who were threatened by the White Lotus Sect's military power couldn't help but ask for help, and flew to the two mansions like snowflakes.
Chicken feathers all over the place.
In the end, the ministers still compromised, but they also agreed with Li Kun that he was not allowed to approach the front-line battlefield, so he could only say that he had made a statement in the past.
At the same time, thanks to the pressure of the court and the determination of the emperor, the military did not make too many difficulties, and the two elite troops were quickly mobilized.
At this moment, the news related to Qiu Yan finally came. (To be continued......)
