Chapter 121 Cannon Fodder

Seeing the thief army on the opposite side suddenly start, and the whole team pushed towards them like a mountain, Niu Tai suddenly became shocked.

When he led his troops over, he only thought about how to arrange the next step. He thought that the other party wanted to wait for him to lead the army to kill, so after stopping, he did not arrange the array in time and prepare for defense, but he did not think that the thief army did not give him time to consider and arrange at all. They Not long after he stopped marching, the thief army greeted them first. This time, Niu Tai was a little confused, and then began to arrange the array.

And Niu Tai is not a very stupid person, otherwise it is impossible for him to climb to the guerrilla position in the army, and he can now see that under such a situation, the court has begun to gradually pay attention to these generals. The status of generals has increased a lot compared with before. At this time, who has Soldiers, the court will easily not touch anyone. On the contrary, the civil servants' life is not easy now. If they are not careful, they will be arrested by the current emperor. Either they will either go to the border or cut off the abandoned market. It finally makes the generals feel better now. After all, the emperor wants to sit in the world. At present, he has to rely on these generals, so Niu Tai knows a deep understanding of war. This is the one that preserves strength.

He fixed his eyes and looked at the thief's army advancing head-on. Obviously, it was better to attack him first and caught him off guard. Then he looked at the opponent's lineup and pushed forward like a mountain. Even on the way, the other party's array was not chaotic at all. Such a solemn military appearance was really the only thing he had seen in his life, which made him panicked even more. Come on, just looking at the situation of the other side, this thief army will not be easy to deal with.

And now he has just led his troops here. Before he had time to arrange troops, the thieves rushed over. If he fights suddenly, he will definitely suffer a big loss. If he loses all his men, then he doesn't have to think about it again after going back, so his first reaction is to keep him first. The strength of his subordinates, let those Xiang Yong organized by the Zezhou side stand in the front first.

So he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to withdraw the whole team and let Xiang Yong line up to face the enemy, which is called to buy time for his main force.

After giving the order, his officers and soldiers immediately retreated in a hurry, but the people among the villagers were in an uproar and immediately cursed. No one was blind, and everyone saw that the opposite group of thieves was not easy to provoke. Their officers and soldiers not only did not go up to resist them first, but also let them go forward. Stop it, how can this matter? So many villagers immediately scolded and said that they did not want to die in the front.

And the person responsible for leading Xiang Yong was a patrol in Zezhou. As soon as he heard that Niu Tai wanted Xiang Yong to go to the front, he did not do it and immediately asked Niu Tai to argue.

Niu Tai saw that many people on Xiang Yong's side seemed to want to resist the order, and immediately shouted, "Shao Patrol, this is before the two armies. The reason why I did this is to buy time. As for you act according to the order, it's good! You'd better go down quickly and urge the villagers to line up! Don't disobey the military order before the battle! Otherwise, Lord Wang is also here. I know you, but my knife doesn't know you!

If you give me another order, if anyone dares not to obey, don't blame my ruthless military law! Come on! The knife and axe are in front of the front. If anyone dares not order to escape without authorization, he will be killed without mercy!"

The inspector surnamed Shao's face is all blue, but now his surname is Niu's final say. How can he disobey his order with a small patrol! If he doesn't obey, as long as he loses this battle, the cow will blame him. With his small patrol, even nine heads are not enough for the court to cut! Seeing that Niu Tai had made up his mind, he did not dare to say anything more, and he saw a few of Niu Tai's own soldiers staring at him, and his hands were pressed on the handle of the knife around his waist. It seemed that as long as he dared to say no again, he would come up and chop him.

This Shao Patrol had to grit his teeth and retreat. As he walked, he cursed and greeted his villagers to line up. At the same time, he passed on Niu Tai's words intact. Then a team of more than 200 officers and soldiers blocked behind them, pulling out their bright waist knives one by one to drive these villagers. Front line up to fight against the enemy.

Among the villagers, there were several thorns. They cursed but refused to move forward. As a result, the supervisors did not talk to them. They rushed up and cut these thorns to the ground, and the blades scattered them on the spot.

The braves in the countryside were afraid and did not dare to scold and disobey, so they had to be driven by the supervisor team sent by Niu Tai to line up in front of the two armies, waiting for the Xingtian army that was coming straight to the battle. Niu Tai quickly arranged his men to line up 200 steps behind Xiang Yong to prepare for the thieves, but the exam Considering that the fighting power of Xiang Yong is not strong, he may be scattered by the thief army face to face, so he was generous and sent a few cannons brought by him to the front of the battle to support Xiang Yong. At least he can calm the heart of Xiang Yong more or less. At least it can make them hold on for a while and consume some thief army.

Niu Tai's wishful thinking can be said to be quite good. He saw the extraordinaryness of this thief army at a glance. He knew that he had met a strong enemy today. If he arranged his men in front, he would rush over with the aggressive momentum of the thief army. He felt that if the other party maintained the formation was not chaotic, it would be difficult for him to He led his troops to stop them. Once he couldn't stop the attack of the thief army, he didn't expect Xiang Yong to help him in the back, and then the whole army would be defeated.

So he arranged for Xiang Yong to come forward for a while, and he put the main force behind Xiang Yong, which has many benefits. First, he can use the Xiang Yong of Zezhou to consume the thief army, and second, he can use his main officers and soldiers as a supervision team to force the township soldiers to fight. In addition, he hopes that the villagers are with this thief army. After the fight, it is better to have a scuffle. As long as the formation of the thief army is in chaos, even if the villagers are defeated, he will have the opportunity to lead the chaos to win. Therefore, in his eyes, the villagers in Zezhou are actually the cannon fodder of his officers and soldiers, which is a kind of thing that can be consumed, and he will not be responsible for it.

Wang Jianjun couldn't see Niu Tai's painstaking efforts in this arrangement. At this moment, he was only nervous, so he quickly asked Niu Tai why he wanted to arrange it like this. How could he stop such a tough thief army alone?

Niu Tai then hurriedly explained to the Wang Jianjun why he arranged it. The eunuch Wang did not know anything about the military. After hearing it, he felt reasonable, so he nodded repeatedly and ran to stay behind. He also knew that there were only disadvantages and no good for him to dictate at this time, and the rest of the matter was left to Niu Tai. It is.
