Chapter 2422 Double standard
The "evenly matched" battle lasted for a day.
It''s just a rookie pecking at chickens, but it''s also lively.
Arrows go up and down, whizzing back and forth, but basically they are listening to a lively scene. Generally speaking, except for covering shooting, archers basically don’t shoot lightly. They try to shoot as much as possible, because people’s physical strength is always limited. In the end, even if you have a good chance, you may not be able to shoot.
Those young men with knives and guns are similar. Standing crookedly, with trembling legs, some even just hacked and stabbed with their eyes closed. If it wasn''t for Wu Ban who couldn''t see it, he slapped the guy who hacked and stabbed down, and then let him He went to move the stone to beat the wood, maybe there would be an incident of self-defense.
Zhuge Liang kept frowning.
Although it is said that the fighting power of the Di people is indeed not very good, but the current performance is indeed somewhat unexpectedly poor.
Zhuge Liang controlled the pawns and prevented Wu Ban''s pawns from getting too far forward, so the situation shown up and down the city wall was relatively weird.
The whole day ended in such a messy offensive and defensive battle.
Di people also seemed to be tired of singing and dancing, so they withdrew their troops and retreated.
Min Zhuang of Di Di didn''t know how he repelled these Di people, but it didn''t prevent them from cheering, jumping for joy, and celebrating each other.
The magistrate of Di County on the top of the city let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his head, and said, "What a fierce battle!" We will win! This... This naturally all depends on the command of the envoy! 』
Zhuge Liang was a little dumbfounded, so he asked the county magistrate of Jiandi to settle down and comfort Minzhuang, and then called Wu Ban to the front.
Wu Ban, or the Wu family, cautiously maintained a relatively more hussar attitude during the last Sichuan turmoil, which can be regarded as a manifestation of some loyalty, so in the battle against the Di people , Wu Ban, as a relatively good general in Sichuan and Shu, was reactivated to cooperate with Zhuge Liang''s actions.
"General Wu..." Zhuge Liang looked at the direction in which the Di people retreated, "How do you think these Di people... are doing?" 』
Wu Ban was also thinking about it. To be honest, the defensive victory this time was really too easy, and even Wu Ban felt that he didn''t need any reinforcements at all. With the 300 soldiers he led, it was impossible to say that he could kill these Di people to the brim.
"These Di thieves have no rules. They neither set up camp nor formed an array. I''m afraid they don''t even have scout posts..." Wu Ban said slowly, "If it was usual, a certain would want to lead troops at night and raid their camp... 』
Zhuge Liang took a look at Wu Ban, "General Wu has lived in Sichuan and Shu for a long time, so he should know the reality of the Di people... how brave is the fighting power of the Di people?" 』
Wu Ban smiled and said, "Of course it''s a little strange. In the mountains and forests under the distant view, there are shadows swaying, and it is even heard that the red blood soldiers of the Di people can fight tigers and leopards. Now these under the city may be used to lure the enemy. Just like deceiving the lieutenant of Jiandi County, if you want to lure our army out of the city, you can ambush us in the mountain road. 』
If it was an ordinary person, Wu Ban might still hide three points, or keep half of the points, but when facing Zhuge Liang, Wu Ban didn''t dare to do so. On the one hand, Zhuge Liang is smart enough. Playing smart in front of him will only make Zhuge Liang see through and arouse Zhuge Liang''s disgust. On the other hand, Wu Ban has observed that Zhuge Liang has been staring at the distant mountains and forests, so he must have already understood it. problem, so it is better to make it clear and say it.
Zhuge Liangliang nodded and said: "Yuanxiong''s words are not bad... It''s just that these Di people may not necessarily be trying to lure you and me, but to lure follow-up reinforcements..."
『Reinforcements? 』Wu Ban was taken aback for a moment, and then thought for a while.
As Zhuge Liang said, although the Di people showed high spirits on the first day, singing and dancing, rushing without fear of life and death, and seemed extremely brave, but on the second day, they seemed much more demoralized. Yes, after being shot by the city with two rounds of arrows during the siege, he dropped a few corpses and retreated hastily, and then dawdled for a while. He couldn''t attack two or three times for a long time, and even the Di people in the back danced and danced. not moving.
Although the leader of the colorful Di people was furious, and even tied a few retreated guys to the front of the formation to whip, but there was no curative effect. Withdrew.
The county magistrate of Jiandi jumped up and down excitedly, just like those sand sculpture netizens in later generations who think they understand everything after watching a video. The meritorious service of the envoy", but leaned back, patted this shoulder, held that arm, opened his mouth to say something, and closed his mouth to say something about the military law, just like watching Zheng Boke''s paragraphs. The word is that I feel impatient all over, and I feel that I am already a person who understands everything...
In the middle of the night the next day, the Di people launched another funny night attack, and then attacked indiscriminately, then retreated again.
When the sun rose on the third day, the number of Di people seemed to be even smaller than on the second day. Even those who were arrayed in place were crooked, and looked completely different from those on the first day. people. The siege is even more like the ink stain for a long time without moving, one step forward and two steps back, as soon as the arrow hits the top of the city, it will scatter with a bang and run back.
Throughout the morning, there was not even a decent offensive.
Xiandi County Magistrate was even more excited, standing on the edge of the battlements, gesticulating, yelling, and even didn''t even bother to look at Zhuge Liang.
The follow-up evolution was almost within Zhuge Liang’s expectation. When reinforcements from Sichuan and Shu appeared, the Di people fled in panic, and the county magistrate of Di was as if beaten with chicken blood, screaming to go out of the city to pursue!
『Our reinforcements have arrived! 』
『Everyone has defended the village and the homeland, but is that enough? 』
『Today the bandits are discouraged, and our army is full of energy, so we should chase them down! 』
The magistrate of Diandi raised his arms and shouted, his expression extremely excited, or hyperactive.
『The poor don’t chase after them. ’Zhuge Liang said unhurriedly.
The county magistrate of Jiandi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at those Di people who had started to retreat into the mountains and forests because they learned of the arrival of the Han reinforcements, and suddenly shouted unwillingly, "The Di thieves destroyed my fields and destroyed my village." , Burn my house, kill my people, all these things, how can I not avenge my hatred? ! 』
『A good boy, how can you be timid and timid to avoid battle? ! Di''s father and fellow folks, if you have blood and bravery, you should follow someone to make contributions and drive out the Di thieves! 』
Zhuge Liang persuaded again, "If you chase so rashly, you are afraid of ambush." 』
『Such a rebel army has no rules and no warriors. How can they ambush? The magistrate of Jiandi laughed and said, "If there is an ambush, it''s just a child leading a knife and hurting himself a lot, so why worry about it?" ! 』
Zhuge Liang advised three times, "The reinforcements have traveled a long way and are physically exhausted. If they pursue them, it may be difficult to do so. It is better to stop here and wait for the follow-up to plan slowly." 』
Di laughed loudly, "I only know that our army is exhausted, so why not Di thief?" If the envoy is unwilling to send an army, he can divide his troops to a certain number of five hundred, and he will definitely smash the thief, behead his head in front of the battle, comfort the wounded old people in Chu, and pay homage to the spirit of the innocent people in heaven! 』
Zhuge Liang looked at the county magistrate Jiandi and sighed.
『Five hundred soldiers! The county magistrate Jiandi stared, stretched out a palm, and dangled it in the air, as if if Zhuge Liang dared not agree, he would slap Zhuge Liang in the face.
Zhuge Liang could only agree. The county magistrate of Jiandi ordered his soldiers triumphantly, and led the army to open the city gate, chasing the fleeing Di people...
Wu Ban stood behind Zhuge Liang, looked at the county magistrate of Di who was chasing northward excitedly, and said in a low voice, "Since he is going to ask for death, why bother to persuade Zhuge to do it?" What''s more, if it doesn''t fall into the trap, wouldn''t it be more difficult to lure Di people out of the mountain? 』
Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, then said: "I just feel sorry for these soldiers..."
Wu Ban squinted at Zhuge Liang, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, apparently a little slanderous, but he didn''t know whether he was talking about "benevolence of a woman" or "pretending to be" and so on.
Xiandi County Magistrate didn''t realize at all that what he was striving to pursue was not merit, but death. He also did not expect that the Di people could retreat so fast. These Di people were barefoot and obviously did not wear shoes, but they ran faster than the Han people who wore shoes.
Di people have lived in the mountains and forests since they were young, and they are familiar with where they can walk and where they can''t. However, the five hundred soldiers led by the county magistrate of Jiandi came from other places, and they are not familiar with the mountain roads here. After chasing, I found that the chasing seemed to be getting farther and farther. I could still see some Di people before, but after that, I couldn''t even see the shadows of these Di people.
『County respect! Something is wrong, why not withdraw the troops first! 』
Xiandi County Magistrate was panting heavily, his eyes still fixed on the distance and unwilling to retract, "No! Keep chasing! We must catch up, we must be close, and catching up is victory! 』
The head of the village felt a little uneasy. He came from a nearby county and was not familiar with the terrain here. However, the high mountains and dense forests here make it look like a place where an ambush is easy to follow. Is it okay?
『Order! The county magistrate of Jiandi stared at the head of the village viciously, "Continue to pursue!" Otherwise... military law disposal! 』
Diandi county magistrate really doesn''t know the danger? Obviously not. But just like many people know that certain events are dangerous and still do them, at this moment the luck psychology has the upper hand, greed presses the reason under the body and rubs at will, even though the reason makes some small voices, It will also be ignored as a moan of enjoyment.
The current Xiandi County Magistrate believes that his previous cowardice is a shame. Especially for the Di people who performed so poorly at the beginning, they were afraid at the beginning, it was embarrassing! If he knew that Di Ren was in such a situation, why did he have to be afraid, shirk responsibility, and let Zhuge Liang take charge of the overall situation?
It’s all right now, everyone knows that when the Di people attacked, he was bewildered, timid and afraid of fighting...
If you want to change this situation, you can only get meritorious service!
Only the blood of Di people can wash away those stupid practices.
What''s more, during these three days of fighting, the magistrate of Di County also "visited the front line" and fought hard. It can be said that he "experienced" the fighting power of the Di people, and also had a higher evaluation of his "martial courage".
With such an enemy, such an opponent, even if there is an ambush, so what?
Under the vicious and strict order of the county magistrate of Jiandi, the head of the village couldn''t help being a little stunned, and immediately he could only order helplessly to let the soldiers continue to pursue.
The county magistrate of Diandi felt that his morale was low, so he pulled his neck and shouted: "The military law of the great Han, those who are afraid of the battle, beheaded!" Now the military exploits are in front of our eyes, and making contributions is now! If you are cowardly and do not fight, the military law is ruthless! 』Well, now he has forgotten his previous cowardly behavior, and began to hate the cowardice of others.
In fact, it is not only the magistrate of Xiandi who is like this, but also most of the double-standard people.
One body with two sides, one body with double standards.
Under such circumstances, the head of the village can only arrange as safely as possible, let fifty soldiers form the front line, forming a front line, clearing the way in front, and the other soldiers are slightly behind, and continue to chase forward.
Mountain mist blows past, swaying the treetops, making a small sound.
The head of the village seemed to feel that there was something unusual. He raised his fist to express the alert of the whole army, and then looked around to check the situation.
But before the head of the village could see something, the county magistrate of Jiandi shouted impatiently: "What are you doing?" ! Do not continue to chase forward! quick! Faster! Move, move! 』
The county magistrate of Jiandi believes that it is getting late, and it will be almost dark in about two hours, and the Di people will definitely need to rest, cook, and adjust, so at this time, chase them up. Doesn''t it coincide with the time when the Di people are the weakest and most defenseless?
The county magistrate of Jiandi even imagined what a wonderful scene it was. He was about to laugh, but when he saw the pawns stop, it was like waking up from a dream of winning 10 million yuan before receiving the prize. He hated it so much The roots of the teeth were itchy, "Damn, what are you doing?" ! 』
Before the county magistrate''s words fell, a palpitating sound suddenly came from the mountains and forests!
『Whoosh! 』
The next moment, a lot of figures appeared on both sides of the mountain road, and they all pointed their bows at the county magistrate and his party!
The dense rain of arrows roared, and the few Han soldiers in the front didn''t even have time to raise their shields to block, and they were shot by the arrows. Without even a snort, they were shot like hedgehogs and fell to the sky.
The soldiers of the Han army behind were also in chaos. Even the sword and shield fighters with shields didn''t know which side to block for a while. It seemed that there were arrows everywhere and Di people everywhere.
The spearmen and archers without shields were even more at a loss. Those who were hit by the arrow screamed and fell to the ground, while those who were not hit by the arrow didn''t know whether to rush forward or run back.
With every whistling in the air, soldiers of the Han army fell down.
『Get out! ’ The head of the village shouted, ‘backwards! breakout! 』
The county magistrate of Diandi grabbed the head of the village, "No! Kill to both sides! 』
Although he was in the middle, the thoughts of the county magistrate of Di have not yet changed. He believes that this is just a small wave of Di people who are in charge of breaking the rear. As long as these Di people are defeated, it means that the chrysanthemums of the Di people''s large army will be exposed. …
But the commander who has more battlefield experience knows that if he has time to arrange archers on both sides, doesn''t he have time to arrange more traps? Could it be that the Di people only have archers and no melee soldiers? The head of the village doesn''t know if charging to both sides can really kill, but he knows that it will definitely cause great damage, and even wipe out the entire army.
The head of the village tried to shake off the hand of the county magistrate, but he didn''t expect that the county magistrate would grab him tightly, and he couldn''t shake him off for a while!
『Fuck! 』
The head of the village was angry, but he didn''t expect that the county magistrate of Jiandi would come to chop him with a knife!
The head of the village quickly held the sword of the county magistrate of Jiandi, "Are you crazy?" ! 』
County magistrate Diandi''s red eyes were howling like a beast that had lost its mind.
People with double standards often have another additional attribute that is given away for free, "Horizontal in the Nest".
Because the head of the village and the county magistrate of Jiandi couldn''t hold back, the surrounding soldiers couldn''t help but stagnate for a while, and under such a stalemate, they were shot one after another and fell to the ground!
The head of the village resisted the urge to stab the county magistrate to death, and slapped the county magistrate to the ground with a slap. He got rid of his entanglement, and ordered again loudly, "Raise the shield!" Backwards, rush out! 』Although the head of the village was very angry because of the behavior of the county magistrate of Jiandi, it is still a very serious matter to kill the boss before the battle, even if the boss is an idiot. The magistrate of Di County can die in the hands of Di people, but he cannot be contaminated by his sword.
The remaining knife and shield hands raised their shields and used the shields to block the vital points in front of them. They leaned forward, almost trying their best to huddle all the vital points behind the shields, and broke through backwards.
However, during the time when the head of Tun Cai and the county magistrate of Jiandi were arguing, the Di people had already realized the siege. The Di people, dressed in colorful clothes and with disheveled hair, held long spears and iron forks, and even wooden sticks and bamboo spears. The retreat of the Han army was blocked tightly!
Every step forward, Han soldiers have to bear attacks from many sides.
This is a mountain road stained red with blood...
Yang Wanwan, standing on the top of the mountain, looked at the Han army who was besieged on the mountain road, and laughed loudly, "The Han people are nothing more than that!" Who said Han people are scary? In front of me, you can fight as you want, and kill as you want! Ah ha ha ha ha...」
The Di people around Yang Wanwan were also very excited, raising their arms and shouting.
Of course they seem to have forgotten that they are ambushing the Han soldiers in the mountain road with a number several times that of the Han army...
Never mind him, he won the battle anyway, didn''t he?
Victory is what matters. This is the most important point for both Di Ren and Yang Wanwan.
The besieged Han soldiers finally failed to rush out, and the county magistrate of Jiandi was also caught by the Di people. Interestingly, the county magistrate of Jiandi, who was so fierce that he wanted to use a knife with his own people, cried at this moment as if A child, almost kowtow on the ground begging for mercy.
Diren wanted to kill the county magistrate of Jiandi, but was stopped by Yang Wanwan, "Keep him, it''s useful!" 』
Yang Wanwan stood on the rock on the hillside with his hands on his hips, looking extraordinary.
『Long live the king! 』
『Long live! 』
The sound was a bit messy at first, but it soon became tidy.
An uncontrollable smile appeared on Yang Wanwan''s face. He enjoyed this kind of cheering very much, and liked this moment very much, but he also knew that this was not the final result, and it was not yet the time to celebrate. He stroked his chest and greeted the cheering Entering the group bowed slightly, like an actor taking a curtain call. Then stand up straight, raise your arms, and press down hard.
The shouting of the crowd stopped, and everyone''s eyes focused on him eagerly.
Yang Wanwan took a deep breath, and then raised his voice: "Everyone! 』
Di people are holding their breath, listening to his every word, every word.
『Three-colored Han people say they rule the world with cavalry, and they have no rivals! But today, here, you have seen with your own eyes, you have done it with your own hands, the Han people are not invincible! 』
『On flat land, we may not be able to defeat the Han people, but in the mountains and forests, we are the kings of the mountains and forests! 』
『What are the Han people? ! The same is the defeat of our men! 』
『Order! Rise up! attack! 』
