Chapter 6

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Let's say that the officers and soldiers who wanted to kill everyone in the bandit's lair in one go were defeated after being suddenly attacked by the soldiers of the fortress, and turned around and ran away.

In the process of being chased and killed, many people died. When the follow-up people met and counted the number of people, it was found that more than 50 people had been lost, and more than 20 people were injured.

Of course, these casualties were not all caused by the soldiers of the fortress. Some of them were injured by bumping, falling, or even trampling on their own in the process of escaping.

Seeing the loss of so many troops, looking at the dejected and demoralized troops, the supreme commander of this operation, the prefect of Datong, will be scolded bloody for the Datong garrison who commanded the specific operations.

"Didn't you tell the government that everything is safe? Didn't you tell the government that an internal response has been found and everything has been arranged? Didn't you tell me that this time is definitely a beautiful victory? Then tell me this What's going on? Tell me! Why did such a strong team suddenly appear on the mountain? You can tell me clearly, if you don't know clearly, I will think that you are colluding with the bandits, and you should cooperate with the outside to kill the mansion. Maybe you still A spy bought by the Tartars!"

The magistrate, who has always tried to be gentle and refined in front of people, is obviously really angry this time. He doesn't even call himself the mansion, and the common sayings in the market are all hanging out on his mouth one by one.

All the attendants were silent, their heads were lowered and they dared not speak.

Enjoying the anger of the magistrate, all the saliva splashed on his face, Datong's defense was dripping with cold sweat, and he didn't even dare to fart.

Not to mention that Datong is a border city, the prefect's power is greater than that of ordinary prefectures.Moreover, the status and power of the magistrate itself is much higher than that of a small garrison general like him.

In addition, this incident was planned by him alone, and everything was prepared to be foolproof, but he did not expect that the front was very smooth, and at the end of the final, he suddenly encountered such a blow that he was caught off guard, which made him also confused water.

When the prefect's anger was almost exhausted, the Datong guard carefully raised his head and said: "Master Fu, calm down, the end of this accident is actually unknown, so he is at a loss. According to our previous information, this little The small Hei Niu Mountain is not so powerful at all. And their third leader has already been instigated by us, and they came down the mountain yesterday to meet us. And judging by the behavior of the team just now, it doesn't look like a bandit team at all. It looks more like an elite army with strict drills. So this matter is very strange, my lord, do you think we should discuss it in the long term?"

The guard spoke cautiously, while peeking at the face of the magistrate, for fear of being sprayed accidentally.

What he is most afraid of now is that the magistrate will let him personally lead the troops to charge upwards in anger. If he insists on fighting with this group of unknown people, it will be a tragedy.

Firstly, they don't know the opponent's details, and secondly, they are attacking from the bottom up, and the terrain is very unfavorable to one's own side.Thirdly, the army suffered heavy losses just now, and their morale was severely hit, so it would be inappropriate to attack again.

Think about it, the big guys came to exterminate the bandits in a relaxed and happy mood, and the Shangguan also told everyone that the bandits are vulnerable, and everyone can share some property after they succeed.

But I didn't expect that seventy or eighty brothers were killed or injured before they could share the spoils, and they didn't know the details of the other party. How could this battle be fought?
Just like that classic line: When I woke up in the morning, I passed by and wanted to come in to learn from a teacher. I didn't even brush my teeth, but you told me that you wanted to marry me. This is simply too magical.

Fortunately, the magistrate did not lose his mind in anger at the crown, he didn't say a word after hearing what the guard said, walked back and forth a few times, and then decisively ordered: retreat!

Of course we have to retreat. Although this campaign has encountered some unexpected setbacks, the main goal has been achieved: the bandit leader and all effective bandits have been wiped out, and a lot of property has been looted.

These are enough.

As for the elite troops that suddenly appeared, their origins were strange, and it was very likely that they were a small group of Tartar troops.If you fight easily, you may fall into the conspiracy of the Tartars.

Therefore, retreat has become the best choice.

Officials know how to settle accounts, and each one is better than the other.As the chief officer of the border town, if the prefect of Datong didn't know how to do this, he would have moved his head a long time ago.

So he quickly made a decision:
"Our army has won a complete victory in this campaign to suppress the bandits in Heiniu Mountain. Now that we are working on an expedition, we are short of horses and horses, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time. I will lead the people back to the city first, and you, the garrison officer, will take the people behind to prevent the thieves from attacking from behind. Do you have any objections? ?”

Looking at the cold eyes of the magistrate, Datong defended his face bitterly, but he dared not say a word.

Although he knew that letting him stay was to be cannon fodder, but he knew that if he dared to say no, the man in front of him would be charged with colluding with the Tartars and plotting against the superior. .

Who made this operation planned by himself a big mess?
"At the end of the day, I will obey the order of the Lord, and I will definitely fulfill my duties and fulfill my duties as the queen!" The guard clasped his fists loudly and said generously, but he was scolding his mother in his heart.

"Okay, when you come back smoothly, the government will forget the past." The magistrate patted him on the shoulder, left a sentence, patted his buttocks and left.

Looking at the backs of the brigade leaving, Datong's defense really wants to cry but has no tears.let bygones be bygonesIf I die here, then this scapegoat is even more determined, each of these bastards is darker than the other...

Turning around and looking at the hundred and ten people behind him, they all had the same mournful faces as him.

Given a choice, no one wants to be cannon fodder.

"Don't be such a motherfucker, let me move." The guard ruthlessly scolded the bearded eighteenth-generation ancestor of the third bandit family in his heart, and then shouted and cursed loudly.

..............................

Jiang Chuan didn't know anything about the movements of the officers and soldiers, and he had already officially entered the role of the lord.

The most urgent task at the moment is of course to prepare for the officers and soldiers below to attack again.

Jiang Chuan sent people to build three temporary defense lines on the mountain road at the entrance of the small courtyard with various waste wood and sundries. Each defense line will leave a passage for two people to pass side by side.

The distance between each line of defense is about 20 meters, and behind each line of defense are ten spearmen and five archers.

Jiang Chuan led two armored swordsmen to command behind the second line of defense.

That's right, he just wants to fight positional warfare.

In the era of cold weapons, it is actually very rare to come up with such a rudimentary small defense position in depth.

Anyone who knows a little bit about soldiers will think that this thing is neither fish nor fowl, because they have never seen such things when the two armies are at war.

Of course, this is the era of hot weapons, or the most common positional fortifications during World War I and World War II.

But Jiang Chuan is not from a major, and he doesn't have any rules in his head. For him, he only thinks that he can win is a good way.

Taking advantage of the narrow terrain in front of you, resisting one by one, and then retreating alternately, gradually destroying the enemy's vitality and draining the morale of the enemy, this is a very normal way of thinking.

Jiang Chuan didn't believe that after the round of fighting just now, these officers and soldiers dared to attack rashly without knowing their details.

Even if they don't want to die, it depends on how much casualties they can bear before they collapse.

He did a little statistics, and there were 80 to [-] officers and soldiers who were killed and wounded by his own troops just now.

And the total strength of this army of officers and soldiers to suppress bandits should not exceed 1000, and some supply troops must also be counted.

As a result, the officers and soldiers suffered almost [-]% of the damage in the previous battle.

Not many armies could bear this kind of battle damage in the era of cold weapons, let alone an army of officers and soldiers who were only used to suppress bandits.

It's just that despite such a guess, wars are never shifted according to someone's will. If you encounter a general who has a hole in his head and insists on fighting with him, then there is no way.

Of course, the ancients didn't think so.

The woman in white watched attentively as Jiang Chuan, who had changed into a silver armor and had a long sword hanging from his waist, was directing his men to build temporary fortifications in front of him. Her brows were furrowed, not knowing what she was thinking.

On the contrary, the little girl, Xiaowen, looked curiously at those fortress soldiers who seemed to be about the same height, with calm and serious faces.

As for the survivors, they gathered quietly in twos and threes, quietly watching these silent soldiers bustle around.

Among these people, there is one person who is particularly eye-catching. This is a middle-aged man dressed in blue straight hair, with a thin appearance, a long and thin figure, and a long beard under his jaw.The most striking thing is that this person's eyes are piercing, as if there are flames flickering in them.

At this moment, he stood alone in a corner like a stand out from the flock, squinting his eyes and looking at the silent and calm army in front of him, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, not knowing what he was fussing about.

In particular, his eyes fell on Jiang Chuan who was in military uniform for a long time, as if he wanted to see some secrets from him.

Of course, unless Jiang Chuan's secret is revealed by himself, even the most imaginative person in the world cannot think of it.

Because that was an extremely incredible thing, and there were too many things in it that people in this world could not understand.

Of course, Jiang Chuan didn't have time to take into account all these scrutinizing eyes at this time. His only idea now was to completely defeat this army, so that they would retreat in spite of difficulties and temporarily escape this first crisis.

The line of defense was set up for a long time, but no one was found on the mountain road.

Jiang Chuan lost his temper a little bit, and said to an armored swordsman beside him: "The enemy has not moved for a long time, send someone to investigate."

"No! My lord, I will go myself!"

The armored swordsman begged for his life without hesitation.

Jiang Chuan glanced at him and nodded in agreement.

Among all the current soldiers, only these two armored swordsmen have armor, and they are also armored for full body protection.

And in the past game experience, these armored swordsmen are the soldiers with the best fighting skills and the best defense besides the lords and knights.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for him to go.

Under everyone's gaze, the armored swordsman quietly approached the officers and soldiers with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.
