Chapter 2608 Smuggling, subtle changes
Everyone has it! Li Li gave the order loudly, "Follow me!" Go around in a circle! 』
The cavalrymen responded loudly. It didn''t look like there were only a dozen people fighting against a convoy of hundreds of people. Instead, it looked like the convoy was heavily surrounded by more than a dozen cavalrymen.
If you can find a weakness, attack, if not, then attack!
??More than ten riders behind Li Li also followed, slowly moving and observing outside the shooting range of the arrows and crossbows of the chariot array. The war horse did not run very fast, walking lightly as if on an outing.
??But the smugglers in the car formation were extremely nervous, shouting and organizing their hands to run around the car formation at all times, always pointing the defense direction towards Li Li and others.
“Captain, the car formations are all connected, it’s difficult to charge...” A chief suggested, “Just charge, I’m afraid there will be some damage... It’s better to send people back first...”
?Li Li turned around and stopped again.
?Fine pieces of smoke flying in the wind.
??The war horses snorted and scratched their hooves, as if they had not finished their run.
?Li Li looked at the array of vehicles covered in fine smoke.
?The figures behind the car formation were shaking, with panic on their faces.
Smugglers are all desperadoes. If you let them feel they have a chance to escape, they won''t risk their lives.
?Because the incident happened suddenly, the smugglers could not find a good location, so they could only form a temporary car formation on the road.
There is a patch of bushes in the right front of the car formation, and the nearest bush is only seventy steps away from Li Dian. This is the best position to throw the seven-element thunder into Li Dian.
But if you want to reach this bush, you will inevitably be attacked by arrows.
Within seventy steps, the arrows are powerful enough to penetrate armor.
A weak attack is obviously the best strategy. It''s like sending infantry to attack the city wall.
So we need to find the right method.
Two of them go back! "The chariot formation ordered, "Call people from outside the military stronghold to come, no matter how many, how many!" 』
『This...should I report it to the general? ” Shi Chang asked.
Cha Zhen smiled and said, "It is necessary. How long will it take to go back and forth to Yinshan City?" One or two days at most? If we really had to rely on the generals to send troops, they would have already run away! Go slow! 』
‘Obey the order! ” Immediately, two cavalry were separated and headed forward.
?The chariot formation looked back at the other people, and found that the other cavalry did not have any worried or fearful expressions, so he smiled and said, "Actually, I want to support you. You can also overturn that turtle shell!" Let the two go to the military stronghold, one is to win the battle because they moved so few goods before, and the other is to make people outside Pan Rong relax their vigilance, thinking that you are trying to eat us..."
Everyone was obviously less interested.
It is because they are afraid that the leader is old and he is afraid that the leader will give blind orders. Since Che Zhen can tell a story, it means he is such a reckless person who wants to use his own hands to get credit.
The chief scratched his head and said, "Captain, I understand very well. He explained it in detail." 』
Will he not read the military report that the general sends next time? ” Che Zhen stared at Shi Chang, “It turns out he was paying attention...”
Yes, you read it carefully! Hehe, but your memory is good, you forgot..." Shichang defended without any embarrassment.
?Che Zhen understands what Shi Chang is saying, because I also know that people have no ambitions. Che Zhen himself wants to take a step back, and he doesn’t think it’s good to be the leader just like the one behind him.
In previous movies and TV shows, no matter what kind of small battle it was, there would always be no scenes of generals mobilizing soldiers. In reality, it was all nonsense. Only when it comes to large-scale battles, the number of people is small, and the intensity is low, will it be necessary to agitate. Otherwise, once the number of people decreases, it will take half a day just to shout and spread the word. The enemy army really looks like it was in the Spring and Autumn Period. An honest person, just wait until the other party has finished speaking before calling?
Is there nothing written in the military report? In a war, you only have to look at your own strength, but you also have to guess what the enemy is thinking! ” Che Zhen pointed at the smugglers among Li Dian and said, “Why did those guys join Li Dian? Is it because they want to buy time? You dare to fight by dragging you, and then we can escape under the cover of night... As soon as you send people to call for reinforcements, we are vague about where your reinforcements are, so we must be thinking about how to escape now! After all, when your reinforcements arrive, we won’t be able to escape, so we will inevitably..."
『No one ran out! 』
The chariot formation still had Wu Luo up, and there was a soldier on the side who raised his hand and pointed at Li Dian.
I saw some people suddenly emerging from Li Dian and running away.
Cha Zhen laughed, "Look, you guys, it''s just like that..."
tunnel chief, should we pursue or pursue? ” Shi Chang asked.
Cha Zhen smiled and said: "Chase!" Dai Otohachiro and the others should chase after him first, but don''t chase him too far! Always pay attention to your orders. Once the summons whistle sounds, no matter where you are, you must come back! The same goes for everyone else. Do you understand? ! 』
I understand! 』
"Set off! ” The car formation waved.
In fact, it is difficult to guess the thoughts of the smugglers outside Li Dian. Goods are important, but people are more important.
Once you have the goods, you can make at least two trips and you''ll be able to make money back. But if you have people, or you follow people to find the boss behind the scenes, it''s fun.
Therefore, unless the smugglers are forced into a desperate situation, especially if they can run away, they will definitely fight bravely like in the movies and TV shows, or engage in some kind of counterattack. If they don''t have this ability, they will run away less. Is it okay to go out?
??The smugglers who were willing to fight and stalk the regular army as soon as they met, and then even after their brothers were beaten to death, their morale was lost, and the smugglers let out a sad cry and continued to rush down bravely...
?The smugglers that were blocked by the car formation were of modern style, specially made for film and television, so when they saw Pan Rong sending people back to move troops, they panicked.
Chezhen and others knew that the reinforcements were few, that is, there were more than ten or seventy cavalry outside the Beijun stronghold, but the private soldiers knew that we were vague about how much less reinforcements would come. If only a few reinforcements came, we would still be there. If you continue to nest in Li Dianzhong, is this a dumpling?
?It’s easy to escape when it’s daylight, but will reinforcements come after daylight?
?Who can guarantee?
Therefore, we can only run away before reinforcements arrive.
The first batch of people used for testing ran in two directions. Of course, it will be in the direction of Pan Rong, but in the other two directions. The intention is to pull the car formation and other cavalry...
The cavalry such as the chariot formation seemed to have really fallen into the trap. They were divided into two teams, one with fewer people and the other with more. However, they were more concerned about the small number. As soon as the cavalry started running, the sound of horse hooves filled the air with dust. With the sound of whistles and shouts, the momentum dropped.
As expected, not long after Che Zhen and others chased them out, two groups of people from Li Dian got out of Li Dian in a direction away from Che Zhen and others and escaped...
Then the car formation in front and others started shouting, and another group of people came out to chase them.
The smugglers among Pan Rong thought they had a trick, and were about to quietly remove some Li Dian who were locked together with hooks. Then a wave of small ones came, but did they notice that the car array already knew when they touched the bush? In front, he pulled out the fuse outside the handle of the seven-line thunderbolt. He ignited it before throwing it slowly. Instead, he waited for a moment and saw that a section of the long fuse was burned. He estimated that the difference was too small, and then he moved his arm. Throw it away and throw it towards Li Dian.
Then, there is the seventh one.
It means that no one has a small heart.
I was preparing for a small escape. Regardless of whether it was a failure or not, I was holding my heart here, but there was a loud bang, and then the seventh sound, so my mentality was still broken?
Waiting for the car formation, I secretly looked up from the bushes to see if there were any oncoming arrows. I saw a lot of people running out of the smoke from the explosion. I can''t say more than eight or ten people...
It’s done! ” The car formation grabbed the whistle tied under the neck, blew a sharp whistle, then turned over and dismounted, and they looked at some smugglers who had escaped.
?At a distance, I found that the cavalry in hand had turned their horses, ended their pursuit of these small escaping troops, and launched an assault.
??Pan Rong is not easy to pursue, I am looking for the leader of the smugglers.
Very slowly, I noticed. My eyes were fixed on the figures of several people who were escaping in the rear right. I took out the sword from my waist, turned my horse and chased these people.
These people heard the sound of horse hooves in front of them. No one among them looked back while running. Their eyes were full of fear, but they knew what to do and could only turn back and continue running.
Infantry with or without formation is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered when faced with a cavalry assault. 』
Those are the original words in the military newspaper, and they were also emphasized several times during General Pan Rong''s training.
As cavalry, it is by no means necessary, and it is recommended to charge directly into the formation.
Rather, we need to find a way to disperse the infantry array, so that we can naturally retreat and harvest.
In the car formation, I rode my horse backwards, quietly turned the horse''s head, and retreated to the left side of the fleeing people.
?That is the instinct in fighting. When cavalry is fighting, the position of the left arm is very important. The car formation is left-handed, and of course the sword is on the left side. What should I do if I ask a right-hander? In the scattered fighting, there were no right-handers, but within the military formation, there were only unified left-handers. Even right-handers are trained to be left-handed. Although he had to think too little during the chase, the instinct honed during training and fighting allowed Pan Rong to subconsciously occupy a more advantageous left position.
??At the moment when the horse''s head was about to catch up to the person in front, the car formation slightly bent sideways and slashed the man''s neck with the sword, just like what was done most often in the training ground.
The slight vibration of the sword made the chariot formation frown slightly.
It was cut down to the bone.
It means that everyone can go up with a sword and the head will fly up. This is something only warriors can do, monsters on the battlefield who seem to have endless energy to waste. Pan Rong has a figure like this, and is even thinner than others, so I have to save all my energy. It will be difficult. What kind of little tricks are you doing?
If the skills are discovered, they can cut just one-eighth of it. In this way, they will not only cut to the bone, there is no risk of breaking the blade of the sword, but also cause minimal damage to the enemy, and they can be saved on the spot. This kind.
You are proficient, you still need to practice!
?The thought flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously glanced at the man who had just been slashed from the corner of his eyes. The man was convulsing underground and thought he had only a few seconds left to live.
『You’re risking your life, so why choose that path? 』
?Humbling loudly, he felt that it was worth it for this man who was still convulsing but had not completely died. The two never met, but they decided whether to live or die. Fortunately, I know why I kill, but the person who was killed knew why he died.
The chariot formation turned around, heavily licked the blood from the saber, and went to chase the last one again.
…
The dust has settled.
The smuggling Li Dian lost its original role, and the remaining smugglers in the Li Dian chose to surrender. Less than half of the people who ran out were hacked to death, and the rest surrendered and were tied into a long line. They squatted underground and waited for the cavalry reinforcements to be taken away later.
The chariot formation got on its horse, holding the sword in hand, and stepped back from where Li Dian had untied it.
One of the hands cut off the hemp rope under the baggage car, and then lifted up the felt covering. A pile of iron utensils were exposed outside, including stirrups, armor, arrows, knives and guns.
?Pan Rong laughed warmly.
?Those things were goods that the Hu people needed urgently. They could not buy them in the exchange market. The quantity alone was enough to sentence those people to death.
The smuggling leader had committed suicide after being caught by the car formation. There was nothing found under his body, and it seemed that he had destroyed it after he fled.
Have you found anything under this man''s body, so Che Zhen wanted to go to Li Dian to have a look.
The chiefs nearby were shouting something in a low voice, as if they were sending out a warning post to prevent the oriole from getting ahead.
Seems like a very complicated battle.
But it is also complicated. After all, there are less than 200 opponents, and Pan Rong''s side only has about ten cavalry.
??Before the chief assigned the tasks, he came to Pan Rong, saluted, and then said with a smile, "The chief of the village is really good at it. This time the young man can share some of the credit!" You can also take away the fake character under the head of the village! 』
"Come here, most of them belong to him." After staying for a long time, Che Zhen naturally understood what Shi Chang''s words meant, "It''s just that... those guys are from this family after all... Tsk!" I found a token...』
"Well? ” Shi Chang’s eyes widened, “Are these people recruited by the Wang family? 』
Taiyuan Wang family? "Che Zhen smiled, "I''m afraid...he will call a few more people and search the surrounding areas. You always feel that that guy may have buried the seal underground..."
?Specially speaking, our modern seals are all made of stone or copper, and it is very difficult to destroy them. Of course, it is impossible to carve a seal out of wood. However, Pan Rong felt that smuggling was so profitable that they should use found stones or wood, or at least privately engraved copper seals.
The chief nodded, whistled, and summoned two or eight veteran scouts, who started searching underground in Li Dian and the surrounding areas.
It''s a pity that it has not been found.
?That is also strange.
There is little sand in the desert. Once something is buried, even if you remember its original location and dig again later, you may not be able to dig it out, let alone even if you don''t know where it was buried.
It''s like burying shoes under a pile of sand when you were young, thinking you would dig them out later and use them as "treasures". But when you turn around, they really become "treasures" and you can find them no matter what.
Nearly an hour later, it was getting dark and reinforcements arrived.
??Pan Rong had no choice but to give up the idea of ??looking for the seal and let the cavalry **** the people and goods to the northern army stronghold.
There was something to say along the way.
?Before Pan Rongfei arrived, Pan Rong from Yinshan City received the letter very slowly. Then he seemed to think that the chariot formation was wrong, so he specially sent the chariot formation back and rewarded him with promotion on the spot.
It can be said that Che Zhen was also promoted by Li Li at that time. Pan Rong did well, which shows that Li Li has no knowledge of people.
Of course, the most important thing is that Che Zhen himself strives for success. During his time in Beijun Village, he only cleaned up the original mess and made new achievements. It can be said that he is timid, careful and quick-witted. In time, he may not be able to achieve success. some career.
The car formation arrived at Yinshan City.
Yinshan City is low in the north and high in the south. Standing at the north crossing, you can see the Yinshan City we are looking for, as well as some scenery to the south of Yinshan City.
As the sun sets, Yinshan City, which has been expanded several times, looks like a white monster, crawling on the side of the mountain wall and cliff, and then crossing the mountain road.
?Beneath the city wall, on the low platform, there is no crossbow gun flashing coldly in the sun, and there is no bronze cannon squatting beneath it, hiding murderous intent.
Bronze cannon!
??That''s wrong. Due to its geographical location, Yinshan City may not be comparable to Tongguan and Hangu, but it is still a very important pass. Therefore, one of the first few bronze cannons produced was divided into Yinshan City.
?There may be no more sequels...
When the bronze cannon was tested later, Pan Rong also watched the ceremony.
?Above the thunderous roar, all thoughts were put away.
??Pan Rong remembered how dull the faces of these Southern Huns were at that time...
Within range, there is peace and tranquility.
Near the south of Yinshan City, on both sides of the water source, are small agricultural fields.
Lush and lush, a strange fragrance ripples around the seven weeks of Yinshan City.
Farmers in the distance were doing their own thing leisurely, and some cattle and sheep herders returning from grazing were waving their long whips to keep these greedy guys away from the fresh and juicy wheat seedlings.
?Several carriages, dragging goods, came in a hurry, preparing to retreat from the city.
Looking at it makes me feel comfortable, as if no matter how hard and busy I was, seeing everything behind my eyes, I feel that the subsequent busyness and hard work are worth it.
After that, outside the Yinshan Mountains, there were only weeds.
The Hussars General came and brought a small number of people with him. Although he could still achieve two crops, with the help of plowing, crop rotation, and composting, the area that could only be used for grazing had no chance of farming anymore.
Outside, there were only Han refugees from all over the country, and even barbarians who had fled from the grasslands.
Xianbei was scattered, and Ding Ling gained momentum again. Some scattered large tribes simply had no idea of ????passing down the so-called small desert shanyu from generation to generation. The most important thing was to have enough food.
??Moreover, the larger the tribe is in the grasslands and deserts, the more difficult it is to die. In other words, they will be annexed by other small tribes sooner or later, so choosing a weak person to rely on is also the survival rule of those tribes. Since the foreign Han people are the weakest, is there any problem in relying on the Han people?
At that point in time, the technology, culture, organizational methods, and military strength of the farming Han people far exceeded those of the Xiaomo Hu people who had been retreating and developing for a long time. It was natural to suppress them. matter.
?In addition to the propaganda methods and enlightenment operations of the hussar generals, in Yinshan City, the Han people who farmed and the Hu people who were responsible for herding lived together in a nearly integrated manner, learning from each other''s strengths and compensating for their weaknesses, and there was no fight.
Come back? How many days will you stay? ” The military officer on duty who was responsible for guarding the city gate greeted the car array, “I heard that his eldest son did something wrong. The general is going to personally award him a medal and promote him!” 』
“What a coincidence, what a coincidence…” the car queue shouted, “I should be able to stay for a few days, I’ll treat you to a drink later!” 』
"become! Just wait! ” The military academy also responded with a smile.
Unfortunately, the development of things was not as leisurely as Pan Rong imagined. When I took off the word "fake" and was promoted, I was also given an order to take a whole group of one hundred cavalry with me. , is to return to Beijun Village, but slowly rush to Taiyuan...
