Chapter 1167 Suppressing Bandits
Chapter 1167: Suppressing bandits
Tongshan is not big and not a dangerous place. Ji Rong had no choice but to be intercepted halfway and forced to hide here in helplessness.
At present, the five thousand Qin troops have surrounded this place and can launch a strong attack at any time. Wang He is also discussing something with several thousand men.
Someone said: "According to our army's information, there are probably slaves, women and children among the bandits, which is a troublesome."
"Yeah..." Wang He pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, send an envoy first to negotiate with the other party and see what their attitude is."
Just as he was talking, a spy ran over quickly.
"Report~~~~~"
"Report to the General, the highest order."
As he spoke, the spy also knelt on one knee and held a small bamboo tube high with both hands.
Wang He took it, took out the note inside, and after reading it, he immediately said, "Forget it, don't have to talk to them."
"The general means..." a commander couldn't help asking.
"The King and King Order, don't have any scruples, quickly eliminate Ji Rong." Wang He said concisely, and after saying that, he directly drew out the battle sword and began to point to the map and said:
"The Tongshan Mountain is open and acts as an attacking two teams."
"First Fortress, break into the left wing."
"The second line, heading from the middle line."
"The other departments should control the encirclement and not let anyone go!"
"Have you heard it clearly?"
"I understand!" Five thousand men and women responded.
Wang He looked around for a week and issued a military order: "Go down and prepare immediately! Start an attack before the time comes!"
"promise!"
At the same time, Tongshan and Jirong gathering place.
This is a wilderness, and because he was suddenly intercepted, Ji Rong didn't have time to station.
When one of the backbones learned that the Qin army had surrounded Tongshan, he said with concern: "I didn't expect that the Qin army was so fast that it would not give us time to move at all. The situation was not good."
"Yes, the Qin army has many strong bows and crossbows, long halberds and heavy shields, and brave and good at fighting. Even Bai Rong is not an opponent. How can we fight..."
Hearing these words, someone felt panic and became somewhat unruly. He shouted in a trembling voice: "I really shouldn't have killed that Qin official, what should I do now..."
"Why are you panic?" The leader of Ji Rong was furious and grabbed the man's neck and glared and shouted: "You will only die faster if you lose your order!"
"But, but..." The man was pulled close and stuttered.
The leader of Ji Rong pushed him away again and looked around and said, "There are not many people in this group of Qin soldiers! If you want to survive, you will fight with them!"
Hearing this, everyone slid their Adam's apple and swallowed secretly.
In the past, they just plundered villages, swept away herders, and bullied the people. Now, facing the long-standing regular army, how could they say they were not afraid?
After a week of scanning, the leader of Ji Rong continued, "Now we are stopped here. Only by defeating these Qin troops and breaking out of the siege can we continue to move. As long as we survive this time, it will not be so easy for the government to find our traces!"
"Then, how is the leader ready to act?" someone asked with courage.
"The Qin army will definitely attack. At that time, we will find a way to repel them, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue them and tear a hole!" The leader of Ji Rong said directly.
The backbones looked at each other and swallowed again, without any confidence.
But now that things have come to this point, they have no choice.
After lunch, the Qin army finished resting and deploying, and began to attack Tongshan.
With the order, the central line troops were the first to advance. If they were left alone, it would not take long before these Qin troops would collide head-on with Ji Rong.
In order to prevent the invasion, the leader of Jirong immediately decided to order the cavalry to rush into the battlefield from the flanks in a small and half arc.
The battle is about to break out.
Half an hour later, the front battlefield.
"Report~~~~~"
A Snow Spy hurried over and knelt on one knee and said, "Report to General, the enemy cavalry found on the right wing and are coming towards our army."
"I understand." The commander of the Qianwei, who was in charge of the center line, did not panic at all, and immediately shouted: "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Under the banner, the Qin army soldiers turned their heads together, and a large number of crossbowmen began to run forward. The front row was half-squatted, and the strong crossbows were at the same time. The scene was full of the sound of armor rubbing.
Soon, the deafening sound of horse hooves came, and a large group of cavalry appeared on the right, galloping at lightning.
The cavalry was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was narrowed.
The commander of the thousand-man decisively ordered: "Shoot the arrow!"
Wave the flag.
The soldiers in the front row pulled the trigger instantly, and the crossbow arrow shot straight out.
The crossbowmen in the back two rows had already pulled the hard bows full, and the bowstrings were stretched out together.
This is a large-scale direct shooting. Under a strong bow and crossbow, sharp arrows are connected into one piece and hit the face.
In just a moment, a howl and the neighing of the horse sounded. I don’t know how many people were shot to the ground while charging, and fell off the horse.
After one round of arrows, the Qin army was well-trained, and the front and back rows immediately stepped forward. The soldiers behind had already put the crossbow arrows on and squatted quickly, and another round!
There were not many cavalry in Jirong, only about two or three hundred. In this situation, it is conceivable that most of the losses had been lost before they rushed to the front.
After getting closer at equal distances, the crossbowmen on the Qin army had already retreated. What greeted them was heavy shields in front and long halberds in the back.
The war horses galloped over, some plunged into the shield formation, and some were stabbed by long halberds on the spot.
The cavalry fell off his horse. Before he could get up, several long halberds were nailed to his body, and they were pulled directly into the formation and let out a shrill howl.
Blood was everywhere and war horses were neighing. Although it was just a small battle, it fully demonstrated the cruelty of the cold weapon battlefield.
Ji Rong originally thought that relying on these cavalry, in the open area, would surely create a sweeping momentum, and then take advantage of the situation to counter-press the Qin army in one fell swoop.
But if you don’t fight, you won’t know. Once you fight, these three hundred cavalrymen are all here to send them off.
Facing the Qin Crossbow and the Iron Armored Square Formation, it was simply vulnerable.
It can be said that the battle had just happened and it was approaching the end not long after, until the three hundred cavalry were wiped out.
At this time, the leader of Jirong was still making the final pre-war mobilization.
"Our cavalry has attacked the flanks of the Qin army. To cooperate with the front, we will surely defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"
"Warriors! The Qin army has nothing to fear! Facing us, they can only retreat in a hurry!"
He shouted loudly, but none of Jirong and others were heartbroken, and many of them had sweat on their foreheads, pale faces, and calves were trembling.
These people are not regular troops, and when it comes to combat power, they are nothing more than a group of mobs who like to sweep away the people.
It's like the bandits are about to face the suppression of the army, and the minions are already on the verge of scattered flight.
