Chapter 38: The People Behind the Scenes
"Ha ha!"
Hao Yaoqi looked back and looked behind him, looked at the fire in the village that had just been scraped and was emitting thick smoke, and laughed:
"These thieves are so unprovoked. We were completely defeated just by a charge."
After the army arrived at the border town, the 30,000 boy scouts divided into three groups and attacked separately.
He and Li Dingguo each led the way, and Hong'er led 10,000 female soldiers to work together.
There is no way to divide the troops. Who made those thieves too vulnerable?
As we walked along the way, the army pushed forward and easily wiped out all the bandits along the Daguan Road.
Therefore, after everyone discussed it, they agreed that the next bandit suppression operation would be carried out separately.
Hao Yaoqi was responsible for Huairou's journey to Changping.
He had just wiped out a group of bandits with only a hundred people, and he was interested in talking.
Who made this guy have only more than a hundred people? He also summoned an army of 10,000 to defeat him with all his might?
How can someone fight you?
However, Hao Yaoqi likes this straightforward style of playing. If he doesn't move, he will do his best.
With the search of the mutated big dog T34 and the reconnaissance of the hundreds of scouts, they are not very secret bandits and they can't escape them at all.
Yes, I can't even escape.
Several bandits who occasionally escaped were easily caught by the big dog T34.
"This is also a bandit suppression? Alas..."
Hao Yaoqi kicked a captured bandit beside him, kicked him to the ground, and then sighed.
"Can your Majesty make a mistake? How can these thieves be called bandits?"
He sat on a big bluestone, pulled out a grass root and chewed it in his mouth, thinking a little depressed.
"Report!"
Just as he was a little listless, a scout came to report.
"Report to the general, there is important military information!"
The visitor quickly dismounted, ran to Hao Yaoqi, saluted, and gasped, saying, "Under the leadership of the divine dog, our scout brigade has made new discoveries!"
"There are many suspicious people from Tianshou Mountain to Huanghua Town, and they are constantly gathering in a large manor near Tianshou Mountain. They are dressed as civilians and merchants, including carriages, caravans, guards, servants, etc.."
"At the same time, the bandits and bandits in this area almost disappeared completely!"
"After several investigations by the divine dog, we found that these people were all reinvented by the bandits."
"Ah?" Hao Yaoqi was a little dizzy by the sudden information.
Although he has been intensive training for nearly two months and has taken a lot of cultural courses, he is barely considered a qualified general, but this guy is a rough man and can't make a mistake for a moment.
"Then, your reconnaissance brigade's inference is..."
Hao Yaoqi now has an advantage. If he doesn’t understand, he will ask others more questions. Therefore, he did not take action immediately, but calmed down and analyzed it first.
"Report to the general, we infer from many aspects that these bandits are not bandits, but tricks made by the local tyrants and evil gentry."
The captain of the scout squadron said, "According to this judgment, most of the bandits in Shuntian Palace today, except for those small bandits, are commanded by the infamous squire behind the scenes!"
"oh?"
Hao Yaoqi's face changed, and his expression was gloomy and sunny.
"General." Several staff officers beside him were also discussing for a while. A young man with a national face spoke to Hao Yaoqi:
"Along the way, we saw that many landlords of all sizes were deserted. The number of those who worked in the fields was very small."
The Boy Scout's staff officer paused when he said this, "We just calculated that most of the people who had no food and clothing and helped landlords of all sizes and farmed, fled to the capital and joined our Royal Construction Team."
"In this way, the large-scale loss of personnel will completely cut off the roots of those notorious local tyrants and evil gentry!"
"In this way, the sudden rise of bandits in Shuntian Prefecture recently has a clear explanation."
The staff officer said firmly, "All signs indicate that most of the bandits in Shuntian Prefecture are created by local tyrants and evil gentry."
"good!"
Hao Yaoqi followed the good deeds and stood up, shouting, "You General Staff, write a memorial immediately and send someone to report the situation to Your Majesty!"
"In addition, let the soldiers gather, and all the soldiers began to march urgently. This evening, we arrived near Shoushan that day and took away all the bandits gathered in the big manor!"
He ordered the scout brigade to be responsible for responding and guiding the army along the way, and to maintain close surveillance of the enemy, and never alert the enemy.
A moment later, the Boy Guards of 10,000 people lined up to reorganize the army, with 6,000 male soldiers personally commanded and detained by Hao Yaoqi, and 4,000 female soldiers led by Wei Gu, the deputy commander of the female soldiers.
Since the mutated big dog t34 has been to the gathering place of bandits in the large manor, it will lead the female soldiers to move forward.
After all the soldiers arrive near their destination and observe the terrain, they will make the next plan.
After discussing, Hao Yaoqi told it about the situation to t34 lying beside him.
Hao Yaoqi had just finished his explanation when he saw T34 pointing his big head, got up and roaring, and immediately ran to the front of the female soldiers and led the army to set off.
After half an hour passed, everyone came to a hidden place three miles away from the bandits' manor. Wei Gu, the deputy commander of the female soldier, led the army to stop.
When Hao Yaoqi, who was behind the palace, arrived, led 6,000 male soldiers and ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot. Hao Yaoqi and Wei Gu summoned all the staff officers to have a meeting.
After discussing for a while, everyone decided that Wei Gu would lead 4,000 female soldiers to find the right terrain and be responsible for ambushing the enemy's deserters.
After all, this is the first real combat for a female soldier. You have to adapt to it to avoid accidental casualties.
No wonder Hao Yaoqi and Wei Gu are so cautious, there is a reason.
When everyone was splitting their troops to attack, the emperor said: It is important to eliminate bandits, but the safety of the lives of the soldiers is even more important.
In all military operations, we must consider winning the enemy while reducing casualties among the soldiers as much as possible.
Of course, Hao Yaoqi and Wei Gu did not want to disappoint the emperor, as this must be recorded in the assessment.
The capable ones go up, and the mediocre ones go down.
His Majesty the Emperor has long informed the soldiers of the competition mechanism of the Boy Scouts of the Guards.
Including promotions, rewards and punishments, everything must be spoken with military achievements.
Whether it was the Boy Scouts of the Guards Commander Li Dingguo, Lu Xiangsheng, or Sun Chuanting's new army, they formed a team of clerks composed of staff officers.
These clerks are specifically responsible for recording military achievements, and no one else can intervene.
After Hao Yaoqi and Wei Gu made everything ready, Hao Yaoqi personally led the 6ooo male soldiers, and later launched an attack on the super-large bandit manor that was already visible to the naked eye in front of him.
But everyone must have spare energy and advance steadily without giving the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of.
As the meal passed, dusk gradually came. The captain of the scout brigade sent a messenger to inform Hao Yaoqi that he did not find the enemy's ambush and the attack could begin immediately.
"quick!"
Hao Yaoqi held a mixed iron gun in his hand, looked at the soldiers who had finished lined up, waved and shouted, "The first brigade detours to the left, the second brigade encircled the right, I personally led the third and fourth brigades to the right!"
He can't wait.
The thieves who were wiped out before were all small thieves, but according to the scouts, the current enemy was found to have more than 10,000 people, and they finally had a good time.
Chapter completed!
