Chapter 92 The pattern of Funiu Mountain has become smaller
The army of both sides in front was fighting, with the sound of cannons rumbling, shouting and hissing.
Luo Zhixue was still sitting on the horse's back, looking at the battle ahead with a calm expression.
There is no surprise in this battle today, and it is impossible for Luo Zhi to even pay too much attention to it.
These thieves seem to be a large number of people, but in fact, the two thousand people who rushed over to fight with their own central army could tell at a glance that they were cannon fodder.
Many of them didn’t even have formal weapons!
After the battle broke out, the opponent wanted to rush over at first, but after being shot, the opponent did not dare to continue to move forward. Later, Luo Zhixue simply let his army press up and push the light artillery up and fire.
The musketeers and archers also press forward under the protection of the spearmen.
When the light gun is pressed in front of the light gun, there are also musketeers and archers who are pressing the formation.
The two thousand bandits on the other side were defeated by the attack of about 500 of their own troops, and they didn't even have the courage to resist. They either turned around and ran away, knelt down or lie down and shouted to surrender, spare their lives, or the like.
The frontal battlefield here hasn't looked good from the beginning, let alone now it has entered the garbage time to capture prisoners.
The other side of the bandit camp fought with Wang Xiazi's troops, but it was interesting.
Why is it interesting? Because they have been running, and until now, both sides have not actually had actual contact.
Faced with these two hundred, it was obvious that they wanted to delay time and their equipment was not bad. Dozens of them were still armoured thieves and soldiers. Wang Xiaozi had no intention of fighting with them at all, so he left a cavalry team staring at them from afar, forcing them to continue to maintain a intensive battle formation and move slowly.
He simply took two teams of cavalry to pursue the escaped leader of the bandit army.
Because they had temporarily left the battlefield, Luo Zhixue didn't know the specific situation in the future, but he believed that even if Wang could not wipe out the escaped enemy cavalry, there was no problem in protecting himself.
In fact, this is true. When he saw Wang Weizi split his troops, he immediately fled with more than 20 personal soldiers.
Although they are not professional cavalrymen, they are also very good at riding as personal soldiers who are up to the sky.
If not, I can't join the personal soldiers that are invincible.
Because every time I break through and run for life, I will run away with my personal soldiers on horseback.
When he was riding a horse, a sentence occasionally popped up in his mouth: "What are the people from Funiu Mountain doing?"
"Why do you chase us without letting go!"
"We have no enemies with them, and we are both rebels, so why did we suddenly come to attack us?"
To be honest, so far, I don’t really understand why Baoxiangying suddenly ran out and intercepted them.
In his opinion, there was no hatred between the two sides. Even if Luo Zhixue was unwilling to defect to his uncle, he would not turn against him. Everyone could attack Lushan County in a cooperative manner.
But the uncle and nephew Dingpotian could not understand the idea of Baoxiangying and others.
No one in Baoxiang camp regarded himself as a thief. Luo Zhixue did not regard himself as a thief. Wang Zaizi and others were the same.
They never think they are the same as the thieves outside!
Before Wang and his friends mutiny, they were all over the place as officers and soldiers to suppress the thieves.
Even if they mutiny and rebelled later, they would be rebels and thieves who claimed to be themselves, but they never regarded themselves as thieves.
Now they even have a considerable amount of hostility towards these thieves.
For those of Wang Blind, An Yongduo, the government and the landlords and gentry were not good things, and the burning, killing, looting thieves were not good things either.
It should be killed!
Under such circumstances, Chuang Potian and others came to Lushan County to burn, kill and rob. In this regard, Baoxiangying, which had long regarded the local population and grain as meat in the bowl, naturally did not allow it.
But he naturally didn't know these reasons, and he didn't even have time to guess. He could only keep riding his horse and running wildly.
But even so, he could not escape the pursuit of Wang Jianzi.
After all, they are not professional cavalrymen, and they have some riding skills, but they still cannot compare with the elite cavalry under Wang Xiaozi.
Even the horses on both sides have some gaps.
Their horses were all ordinary horses plundered from the people.
Wang Xiaozi and his mount are the war horses of elite cavalry of the border army, and their speed and lasting are different.
In this way, after chasing and escaping, Wang Weizi naturally caught up with Ding Potian and others.
After catching up with the person, Wang Xiazi and others bent their bows and shot arrows on the bumpy horse's back!
As the arrows were shot out one by one, Ding Potian and others in front of them fell down because they were shot or were shot. At the same time, Ding Potian and others could not fight back with great force.
When the mount of the throne was shot by Wang Xiaozi's powerful bow and then threw the throne off and broke the throne's neck, except for a few of the remaining thief cavalry who ran very fast, the other eight cavalry chose to surrender.
No accident happened in this pursuit.
When the blind Wang took over the prisoners and the horses and returned to the battlefield, the battle in the frontal battlefield had already ended.
Baoxiang Camp is cleaning up the battlefield and recruiting prisoners of war.
With a hint of fatigue and holding the war horse that almost ran away, Blind Wang came to Luo Zhixue:
"Report to the general, his subordinates have killed the thief head and the other seven cavalry, captured eight people, and ten cavalry soldiers have escaped. The subordinates are not doing well, so please punish the general."
Luo Zhixue smiled and said, "Brother Wang is so guilty. It is a great achievement to catch up with and annihilate the enemy's head!"
"To successfully annihilate the invading thieves today, Brother Wang's first contribution!"
After hearing this, Wang Xiaozi grinned: "There are you, my subordinates who dare not take credit. Today, you are the general who can annihilate the thieves' army. You have good leadership. My subordinates are just following the general's orders."
Luo Zhixue laughed after hearing this: "Brother Sun used to say that Brother Wang was a powerful general, but now it seems that Brother Wang is not only brave and good at fighting, but his words are also very sleek!"
"All right, they are all their own brothers, so you don't have to praise me. I'll praise you anymore. After camping tonight, we brothers will have some drinks!"
After saying that, he turned sideways and said to Zhang Malin and other generals beside him: "Tonight, I will give you extra meals and meat to eat for me!"
"We just kept our heads on the belt to do business. In the past, it was a little difficult, and it was a little difficult to eat meat. Now we have made such a ruthless vote in Songjiazhuang. If we don't eat more, we will be sorry for our Wudian Temple!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around Luo Zhixue laughed!
After everyone laughed for a while, Luo Zhixue reached out to pressure him slightly, and then said: "When we continue to go north tomorrow, we will completely destroy the thieves in the north, so that the thieves in the north know that Lushan County is our territory, not a place they want to come!"
"Since they dare to put their claws over and compete with us for food, we will chop off their claws!"
When Luo Zhixue said these words, the old farmer also looked at Luo Zhixue in front of him and said to himself: "I knew there would be such a day!"
"Now we can control the Lushan countryside, and in the future we can control Ruzhou and even more places."
The old farmer had long believed that Luo Zhixue was not an ordinary scholar.
However, in the past, Xu He's impression of Luo Zhixue was limited to a broad-minded and resourceful military advisor.
At that time, he felt that Sun Cheng had the help of Luo Zhixue and should be able to do a great career.
Later, several months in Funiu Mountain proved this. Sun Jian occupied Sanshui Village with the assistance of Luo Zhixue, and then controlled most of the Funiu Mountain, allowing their team to expand from dozens of people to hundreds of people.
Among them, Luo Zhixue plays a 100% role, but at least 60% or 70% of it.
This is also the reason why everyone had no objection when Sun Cheng pushed Luo Zhixue to the throne before he died of illness. Even Blind Wang finally followed Sun Cheng's instructions and respected Luo Zhixue as the main reason.
Because everyone has seen Luo Zhixue's talent and ability, I believe that under Luo Zhixue's leadership, they can save their lives, eat enough, and even do great things.
Now it seems that their original choice was not wrong!
Under the leadership of Luo Zhixue, Baoxiangying entered a stage of faster development.
First, it blocked the attack of the officers and soldiers, and then completely controlled the entire Funiu Mountain, including the outer hilly areas in the south and east, and obtained more soldiers and food, making the Baoxiang camp exceeding a thousand people.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Zhixue took advantage of the opportunity that the main force of the rebel army went east to Henan and the main force of the officers and soldiers were restrained and personally led the mountain to attack Songjiazhuang.
Countless grains and other strategic materials were seized, and the villages in the western part of Lushan County continued to collect grain and recruit soldiers.
If this continues, as long as the newly recruited recruits complete the training, the size of the Baoxiang Camp can exceed 3,000.
The old farmer Ming Xuhe knew very well how great the potential of Baoxiang Camp was, which had three thousand people, had cavalry, artillery, and was also a soldier.
If you encounter an ordinary thief in such a 3,000-person Baoxiang camp, you can chase 20,000 to 30,000 thieves and fight.
If you meet the officers and soldiers, if they want to defeat them, they must mobilize at least two or three thousand soldiers. Even if they cannot defeat the main force of the officers and soldiers, they can retreat to Funiu Mountain, rely on complex terrain to fight, and can also move through the mountains to Lu's and other areas at any time.
If the officers and soldiers want to encircle them in full, they may have to transfer tens of thousands of soldiers over.
In Xu He's view, the future prospects of Baoxiangying have become better after Luo Zhixue led them to conquer Songjiazhuang and control a large rural area in the western part of Lushan County.
Perhaps, if you follow the general and fight along the way, you may be able to really let them go back to their hometown in Shaanxi in the future.
By then, I should be a real general, with thousands or even more troops under my command.
If there really is one day when he will return to his hometown and kill all those who have not been killed back then...
The old farmer Xu He had some imagination about the future, and others had more or less the same idea.
Even Luo Zhixue himself has greater ambitions for the future.
This time, through the expedition to the townships of Lushan County, Baoxiangying has obtained a large amount of population and food resources.
In the future, he would send troops south to copy another similar operation in Nanzhao County to obtain more food and recruit more soldiers.
And by that time, I should also find a real territory for Baoxiangying.
Funiu Mountain is a small structure after all!
