[Chapter 678] Weird horse thief
How could the officers of the White Army bear such contempt? They followed Xu Xingxia and won all kinds of battles, but their mentality was very arrogant. Basically, there was no enemy who was taken seriously by them. Only they despise others, so how could others despise themselves? What's more, it was the contempt of a group of thieves. If Laozi doesn't go to cause trouble for you, you should thank God and thank Gods and Buddhas all over the sky. Now, you are actually here to cause trouble for Laozi. Do you really think Laozi is easy to bully? You really don't cry without seeing the coffin!
Mao Shisan and Zhang Feng both had this mentality. They both hated those damn thieves. They even suspected that these damn thieves deliberately launched an attack when Xu Xingxia passed by Baoding Prefecture. The purpose was to show his power to Xu Xingxia. In their opinion, the thieves' actions were definitely ridiculous or sad. Because, in this world, those who dared to show their power to Xu Xingxia seemed to have been beaten to an unrecognizable face.[]
Xu Xingxia held the wine glass and said calmly: "No hurry, it's okay to listen."
As soon as the gunshots rang, Xu Xingxia guessed what was going on. At this time, the gunshots came, and it must have been the attack of Baoding Prefecture. These gunshots were obviously caused by the Leopard Cavalry troops guarding the city. Judging from the density of the gunshots, there should be a large number of thieves coming to Baoding Prefecture. At least there were hundreds of people. Because, if it were just sporadic thieves, it would be impossible for the leopard Cavalry's muskets to fire continuously.
However, it is impossible to say that there are many thieves. Baoding Prefecture has all the personnel of the Leopard Cavalry, part of the Wolf Cavalry, and all hunting cavalry. There are more than 10,000 troops. Even if Lin Danhan came out in full swing, there would be no chance. If the thieves in Northern Zhili had exceeded 10,000 people, they would have been wiped out by Mao Shisan and others. They are not stupid melons, how could they allow so many thieves to continue to exist?
Why did this thief come? This is what Xu Xingxia cares about the most. He believes that there is absolutely no leader in this world who is really stupid. Unless they are pretending to be stupid, because stupid melons cannot be the boss of others. Especially the bandit leader, he is definitely not stupid melons. He must have a purpose.
As long as it is a normal person, it is impossible to launch an attack on Baoding Prefecture. Hundreds of thieves want to attack Baoding Prefecture, which has tens of thousands of musketeers. This is not a fool, but a brainless person. Unless the thieves want to commit suicide, then, are the thieves going to commit suicide? It seems impossible. Even ant is alive, who doesn't care about their lives?
"Sir, look..." Mao Shisan said with a little nervousness.
There were actually thieves who dared to attack Baoding Prefecture at this time. Mao Shisan really had the intention to fuck him. There were no thieves around Baoding Prefecture, which is certain. These thieves coming must be from the Taihang Mountains in the west. He had already obtained information before that there were bandits active in the Dahang Mountains and were planning how to clean them up. Unexpectedly, before he took the initiative to kill them, these bandits came.
Moreover, the bandits did not come early or late, but Xu Xingxia rushed over fiercely when she passed by Baoding Prefecture. Isn’t this intentional way to get along with him, Mao Shisan? Mao Shisan wanted to tear the other party apart. He secretly swore that he must find a way to flatten the bandits’ nests in Taihang Mountain.
He couldn't understand why Xu Xingxia didn't let him go out to deploy the battle himself. The number of bandits in attack could not be large, and only a few hundred people were killed. As long as the entire Leopard Cavalry Army was dispatched, none of these thieves could go back and all died around Baoding Mansion. He would definitely not forgive the other party if he dared to give him face in front of Xu Xingxia.
"Sir, I'll go and have a look!" Liu Chuang said anxiously.
As the commander of Xu Xingxia's guard force, when the gunshots sounded, Liu Chuang immediately felt as if he was injected with chicken blood, and was eager to try. There was no way, Xu Xingxia was here, so how could they dare to be careless? Besides, as the guard force, the hunting cavalry rarely had the opportunity to fight. Now that he just happened to catch an opportunity, how could he be willing to let it go?
Unfortunately, his plea was not approved by Xu Xingxia. Xu Xingxia said calmly and lightly: "It's just a sporadic thief, so naturally there are people below to be responsible for the removal. You are already senior generals, why are you doing so nervous? You have to deal with all the big things yourself. What are the officers below doing? You have to give them a chance to exercise, otherwise, how can they grow up?"
Mao Shisan, Zhang Feng, Liu Chuang and others had to sit back helplessly. From Xu Xingxia's perspective, he was naturally right. Sporadic thieves did not need to be commanded by them personally. Just a person at the level of a brigade of squadrons was enough to deal with all the horse thieves. A brigade of cavalry in the White Army had 1,500 people, which was many times more than the number of thieves. As long as they encountered banned bandits, they could definitely kill the other party.
"Report to all, you guys, you found three or four hundred thieves in the west. They tried to attack Baoding City and were repelled by the defenders." Soon, the scout captain sent the latest news. At this time, sporadic gunshots gradually left. In a vague way, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. It was probably because the Leopard Cavalry troops were dispatched to pursue them.
However, strangely, those sporadic horse thieves did not seem to have escaped. Because sporadic gunshots have always existed. Judging from the strength of the gunshots, they should be about five or six miles away from Baoding Mansion. This is simply not consistent with common sense.
Under normal circumstances, if the horse thief does not succeed, they will definitely escape immediately and it is impossible for them to stay here. Unless they want to die, this horse thief is really weird.
Xu Xingxia suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Let's go! Let's go and have a look!"
If it was a normal team of horse thieves, Xu Xingxia would not care about it at all. The White Army has just controlled Beizhili and other places, and has no chance or energy to clear out scattered horse thieves from all over the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are sporadic horse thieves in various places. Eat one bite at a time, and things need to be done step by step. Some things are unhurried. At present, land reform is the key point.
As the situation gradually stabilizes, the white-clothed army will slowly draw people to fight against these sporadic bandits. It is no problem to eliminate them. The most fundamental principle of eliminating bandits is to completely, cleanly, and thoroughly cut off the connection between them and ordinary people. As long as the bandits do not get the support of the people, it is easy for the military team to eliminate them. The rootless duckweed will not require any effort to solve it.
However, the horse thief in front of him did attract Xu Xingxia's interest. He was sure that the horse thief came to Baoding Mansion not to show his "muscles", nor to attack Mao Shisan and others, nor to ask him to know that there was such a horse thief in Taihang Mountains. Because doing so would not be of any benefit to them.
If it weren't for Xu Xingxia's stop, the Leopard Cavalry and Wolf Cavalry would have been dispatched to carry out a full-scale clearance of all the horse thieves in Taihang Mountains. Mao Shisan and others were furious and probably wouldn't have left any grass in Taihang Mountains. However, what is the purpose of the horse thieves? Xu Xingxia could not guess.
Xu Xingxia and others came to the city of Zhending Mansion, raised their telescopes, and carefully observed the fields outside. At this time, it was still midnight before, and there was no moonlight or starlight. The fields outside were almost pitch black. In addition to the torches lit by the cavalry of the white-clothed army, and the flames generated by the fires fired by the Sun and Moon guns, there was no other light source. The farther the distance was, the fewer the number of fires and the darker it was.
It is precisely because of the cover of darkness that those sporadic horse thieves have the opportunity to fight against the White-clothed cavalry. They don’t know where they are hiding, and they secretly deal with the White-clothed cavalry. In the dark night when they are out of their hands, the Sun and Moon guns equipped by the White-clothed cavalry are not easy to exert their power. If the musket cannot be aimed effectively, it is a tragedy. It is better to use fire sticks. If it is during the day, no matter how many horse thieves are, they will be killed by the muskets.
Mao Shisan whispered: "Sir, these bandits are so cunning."
Zhang Feng also said angrily: "These guys don't dare to come during the day, and they just make trouble at night. They are really a bunch of garbage. If you have any, we will set up a battle during the day. I don't believe that they can make a fortune."
His words attracted many people's feelings, and they nodded in a sympathy to show their agreement. The current equipment of the White Army is indeed not suitable for night battles. The lethality of the musket team in the dark must be reduced by several levels. There is no way, it is impossible to aim effectively in the darkness. No matter how powerful the Minnie bomb is, it is useless. In addition, reloading the bullet medicine in the dark is also a relatively troublesome thing.
In the past, the opponents of the White Army were Tatars or Mongols. Their cavalry and shooting were not available in the dark. If they could not see the target, no matter how sharp the arrow was, it would be useless. Therefore, neither the White Army nor the Tatars or Mongols had the habit of night battles. As a result, when suddenly encountering sporadic bandits fighting at night, the White Army cavalry was indeed a bit unacceptable. The troops leaving the city obviously had no results.
"Tell them all to retreat!" Xu Xingxia said casually.
"Sir..." Mao Shisan was a little unwilling to accept it. The number of thieves was not large, with only a few hundred people at most. The Leopard Cavalry was strong and had thousands of musketmen. Even in the dark, it was not conducive to the combat of the White-Clothed Cavalry, and it was impossible to eliminate the horse-Clothed Cavalry in time. However, with the combat effectiveness of the White-Clothed Cavalry, the thieves would not take any advantage. As long as you find a way to persevere until dawn, the thieves will inevitably suffer the losses in the end.
"Liu Chuang, let your squadron go up." Xu Xingxia continued.
