Chapter 111 Kill the Prisoner
Since Zu Da Le has been defeated by Xiao Tianjian, his generals have nothing to say. Several generals wanted to rush up and grab Zu Da Le back, but before they rushed to Xiao Tian's fitness, they heard a dense gun, and several generals were blown with blood fog all over their bodies. It fell in front of the two armies.
Seeing that Xing Tian's weapons are so sharp, Zu Da Le has also been captured. These Guan Ning soldiers and auxiliary soldiers under the command of Zu Da Le have lost their fighting spirit. They disared one after another, lost their weapons to the ground, took off their armor, and announced their surrender, which was at the disposal of Xing Tianjun.
In this regard, Zu Dale and Zu Kuan's troops were only a few days away from Ruzhou, and the whole army was not on the Baixing River in Yichuan County, and most of them became prisoners of the Xingtian Army.
After the news spread to Ruzhou, Wang Jiazhen was immediately shocked. He listened to Chen Yongfu's opinion and believed that the main force of Xing Tianjun was still in Ruyang County. As a result, Zu Dale's lonely army went deep and was ambushed by Xing Tianjun, so that Zu Dale's whole army was not in the ambush of Xing Tianjun. In this way, the future of this battle will be miserable. It's faded.
After hearing the news, Chen Yongfu was secretly glad that he did not follow Zu Dale to Yichuan. As a result, he avoided this great disaster. Chen Yongfu did not feel a little apology for his mistakenly sentencing the Heavenly Army this time. Of course, it was not because he did not cooperate with Zu Dale's troops to Yichuan. So much so that Zu Dale felt any apology for falling into the ambush circle of Xing Tianjun!
However, after learning the news of the destruction of Zu Dale's department, Wang Jiazhen immediately ordered Chen Yongfu to enter Ruyang County to take the opportunity of the main force of the Xingtian Army to go to Yichuan to restore Ruyang County. At least he also saved some face for the defeat of the officers and army this time.After Chen Yongfu was ordered, there was no delay. On the same day, he rose up and killed Ruyang County.
After Xiao Tianjian solved the problem of Zu Dale's headquarters, he also received news from Yichuan County that Wang Shaoyu led his troops from the northwest of Yichuan to Yichuan County. At present, Yichuan County's troops are very empty. Only a new battalion is guarding in Yichuan County, and this new battalion has just been set up, and its combat effectiveness is very Worrying.
After learning the news, Xiao Tianjian did not dare to neglect it. He immediately ordered Luo Li to lead two battalions to return to Yichuan County to reinforce reinforcements, while he himself led the remaining two battalions to reorganize the headquarters of Zu Dale, who had just surrendered.
In this battle, in addition to a few escapes, more than 2,000 Guanning troops under the command of Zu Dale and Zu Kuan became prisoners of the Xingtian Army. In addition, more than 1,000 Ruzhou soldiers were unlucky with Zu Dale and became prisoners of the Xingtian Army.
How to deal with these prisoners of war is really a headache. Those soldiers in Ruzhou are all locals, and most of them are soldiers recruited by the government. Many of them used to be ordinary people. Those who lack food and pay are often bullied by officials. Many people don't want to work for the government for a long time, so these people The arrangement is very simple. They draw their strong and honest people directly into the Xingtian Army and become the people of the Xingtian Army. There is no need to worry that they will fight against the water, and the rest of the old and weak will be dismissed and resettled. They are also happy to find a matter of peace and do not have to go to war, so these Ruzhou soldiers are easy to send away, and the Xing Tianjun draws from them. More than 400 strong men were selected to be added to the army, and the rest were given some money, which was demobilized and resettled to the local farm.
But Xiao Tianjian should be much more careful about these two thousand Guanning soldiers. Most of these Guanning soldiers are from Liaodong. After the wild boar skins, they lost their land in Liaodong. Later, they were recruited and became Guanning soldiers. In the past two years, they entered Henan and followed Lu Xiangsheng. Bandits work very hard. It can be said that they are stained with the blood of the rebels, but this is nothing. The cannibal's salary is for the king to eliminate the disaster! The key is that many of these people are veteran ruffians, which is not easy **, and they are very grouped. If they can't handle it well, they may cause a lot of trouble.
For these people, after discussing with Xiao Tianjian and Niu Jin Xing and the generals, they took out the military generals alone for care. First, they took out their backbone, and the rest were scattered and reorganized, so that they could not reunite in a short time.
However, these soldiers of the Guanning Army are, after all, people who have been fighting for a long time, and they all have a strong atmosphere, especially they are mostly cavalry. Many people are quite good at kung fu, which is also the source of soldiers urgently needed by the Xing Tianjun at present. If it is done well, these Guan Ning soldiers can soon be transformed into an elite of the Xing Tian Army. Cavalry.
So in order to stabilize the hearts of these Guan Ning soldiers, Xiao Tianjian personally came forward to appease them among these Guan Ning soldiers and ensure the quality of their food, which made these Guan Ning soldiers somewhat relieved.
And this time, the surrender of Guanning Army allowed Xing Tianjun to capture thousands of good horses, and finally gave Xing Tianjun the opportunity to form a powerful cavalry team. After some appeasement, Xiao Tianjian allowed Situ Liang to select 600 strong soldiers from these Guanning soldiers, and directly with Situ Liang's original cavalry. The brigade was mixed together and directly upgraded to the first battalion of the Xingtian Army Cavalry, so that the cavalry of the Xingtian Army truly became a team with a complete system.
As for the remaining Guanning soldiers, Xiao Tianjian scattered them on the spot and removed the old and weak. There were still more than a thousand people left. These thousands of Guanning soldiers were divided up by the battalions. In this way, they were digested on the spot. He hoped that once they were dispersed and transferred their officers, they wanted to make trouble for the Xing Tianjun again. There is no threat.
Chen Yongfu led 4,000 Kaifeng soldiers from Ruzhou to Ruyang County, but in the area of Wuwan Pass in the east of Ruyang County, he encountered the tenacious resistance of the 6th Battalion of the Xingtian Army led by Zhao Erlu. This time, Zhao Erlu also held his breath and wanted to show his ability in the Xingtian Army.
Therefore, according to Xiao Tianjian's instructions, after Xiao Tianjian left Ruyang County with his troops, he took the troops of the headquarters to the Wuwan Pass to garrison, and constantly sent scouts to explore the movements of the officers and troops in the direction of Ruzhou. At the same time, he also had to pay attention to the direction of Lushan in the southeast. He was quite dedicated to doing things.
As soon as Chen Yongfu led his troops to move in Ruzhou, the scout sent back the news back to Zhao Erlu. Zhao Erlu led his troops to meet them, and the two armies had a great fight in the area of Wuwan Pass.
Chen Yongfu and his Kaifeng soldiers tasted the power of the Xingtian Army for the first time. Although Zhao Erlu's 6th Battalion is just a newly formed war barracks, nearly half of them are veterans of the former third battalions, and most of these veterans are from Yangcheng, Shanxi Province, which can be said to be the backbone of the Xingtian Army. Coupled with nearly half of the strong men supplemented in western Henan, the combat effectiveness is not inferior to the previous one, except that the number of birds is not as high as before.
Although Zhao Er donkey's strength was only one-third of Chen Yongfu's strength was weaker, but once the two armies fought in the Wuwan Pass, the officers and soldiers on Chen Yongfu's side were beaten by Zhao Er's donkey. Chen Yongfu had to take the initiative to retreat twice and reorganize the troops and fight again. After a few days, Chen Yongfu could not take any advantage of Zhao Er Donkey, but also lost hundreds of soldiers and horses, so that later Chen Yongfu had to give up attacking Ruyang County and led his troops back to Ruzhou for rest.
Fortunately, Chen Yongfu withdrew in time this time. If he delays for another two days, when Xiao Tianjian returns to Ruyang, Chen Yongfu can't leave even if he wants to.
At the same time, Luo Li led his troops back to Yichuan County, facing Wang Shaoyu's subordinates who wanted to encircle Yichuan County from behind, and the two armies then launched a war in the north of Yichuan County.
Although Wang Shaoyu made a lot of determination this time, he also took out a lot of money to boost morale and wanted to make contributions in Yichuan County. However, as soon as the officers and soldiers under his command heard the news that Zu Dale's department was annihilated by the Xing Tianjun, they suddenly had no intention to fight. In addition, they met Luo Li, the living king of the world and were fierce to them. After a fierce fight, Wang Shaoyu only persisted in Yichuan County for less than three days, and then was beaten and disintegrated by Luo Li. In the end, he only brought less than a thousand defeated generals and Ma Rutian, who fled back to Yiyang County.
However, this time Wang Shaoyu led his troops to attack Yichuan County, which caused great damage to the people of Yichuan County. What the officers and soldiers said was true. The discipline of the Luoyang army under Wang Shaoyu was extremely corrupt. When Wang Shaoyu led the army to cross the Luohe River and entered the territory of Yichuan County, his soldiers began to go around. It's a disaster.
These Luoyang soldiers are very good at fighting, but when they kill ordinary people, they compete one by one. In order to report to the above, they slaughtered ordinary people and refugees everywhere, cut off their heads and gave them to them for credit.
The place they passed was really like a razor. People dozens of miles were driven away by them. Thousands of ordinary people around Yichuan were killed by them, and their heads became the so-called achievements of Wang Shaoyu's achievements.
When Luo Li led his troops to defeat Wang Shaoyu. On the way to chase Wang Shaoyu, when he saw the tragic elephants where the officers and soldiers in Yichuan County passed, the criminal soldiers and generals were all angry with what Wang Shaoyu did. Wang Shaoyu's officers and soldiers not only killed people and plundered food and money, And they also humiliated women everywhere, even little girls who were less than ten years old. When the scourged ordinary people saw the return of Xing Tianjun, these ordinary people knelt on the side of the road along the way and cried to Luo Li about their tragic experience.
Luo Li is not as good as Xiao Tianjian's to talk. After understanding what Wang Shaoyu's officers and soldiers have done, he immediately ordered to drag out the captured officers and soldiers of Wang Shaoyu. First, he stripped off their clothes in public, tied them to the tree on the edge of the road, and let these ordinary people smoke at will. They were beaten to relieve their anger, and hundreds of captured officers and soldiers were killed by the angry people on the spot.
Luo Li was still puzzled. He led the generals under his command and took these officers and soldiers and prisoners of war under Wang Shaoyu, and chased them to the bottom of Yiyang County. With an order, he pressed the thousands of prisoners of war to the open space outside Yiyang County. He passed the order down and let the new soldiers in the army to stand up and act as executioners in one breath. More than a thousand officers and soldiers under Wang Shaoyu's command were slaughtered under Yiyang County.
The defenders and officials in Yiyang County watched Xing Tianjun outside their city, killing more than a thousand officers and soldiers like killing chickens and dogs. They didn't leave any of them alive. They scared these people in the city. They were a little timid. Even if they were scared to pee their pants, some officials were so scared that they immediately fainted on the wall.
Luo Li was not willing to give up. He rushed to the city and pointed to the people in the city and cursed Wang Shaoyu by name, making Wang Shaoyu go out of the city and die.
Looking at such a fierce Xingtian army and Luo Li, the god of killing, Wang Shaoyu did not dare to fight even if he was ambitious. He sent a team to supervise the battle, closed Yiyang County, and really became a shrinking turtle in Yiyang County.
Luo Li played a lot of prestige outside Yiyang County. Considering that they were not ready to attack Yiyang County this time, they finally withdrew from Yiyang County. However, before leaving, he looted Zhuangzi of the three Fuwangs outside Yiyang County and Zhuangzi of local officials in Yiyang County, making the rich people in Yiyang County one by one. Ye escaped from Yiyang. Some people took refuge in Luoyang City. Some people simply fled to Kaifeng with their families. In short, everyone can see that Yiyang County can't stay any longer. If they don't leave, let alone family money, even their lives may not be safe.
After Xiao Tianjian learned about this, he also shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't say anything about Luo Li doing this. After all, this time Wang Shaoyu suddenly behaved so positively and led his troops to cooperate with Wang Jiazhen to raid Yichuan's back, which was something he did not expect, so that Wang Shaoyu caused such a big disaster in Yichuan County. Luo Li's anger is also an arguable matter. At the same time, Luo Li's doing so can also be said to have shocked the officers and soldiers. Although he killed too many people, he did not do anything wrong, so Xiao Tianjian stopped asking more about this matter.
But for Niu Jinxing, Luo Li did this, which was quite like his appetite. He took the initiative to find Xiao Tianjian and said to Xiao Tianjian, "The general doesn't have to be angry about what General Luo has done. General Luo's move is also caused by anger. After all, this time, Wang Shaoyu led his troops to attack Yichuan and slaughtered many people in Yichuan County. He did this just to avenge the innocent people!
Now that the discipline of the officers and soldiers has collapsed, and the matter of Wang Shaoyu's soldiers slaughtering Yichuan is just one thing. The officers and soldiers in other places are basically the same as them. The people have no hope for the government for a long time! If the marshal acts like this, he will definitely win the hearts of the people in the world. It's better for the marshal to simply put out the banner of suppressing the soldiers and the people, which will definitely make the people of the world return to the marshal!"
Xiao Tianjian's eyes lit up after hearing this. Niu Jinxing was right. It was not a matter of a day or two for the collapse of the officers and soldiers. It can be said that the people were more afraid of the officers and soldiers than the fear of thieves. He had forgotten this matter for so long that he waited until Niu Jinxing mentioned this matter.
He is doing this now. Isn't he just asking for the world? The people's hearts and minds of the people are also the key to his success. In this anger, Luo Li's prisoners under the command of Shaoyu, the king of Tuguang, also bought people's hearts for him, and at the same time deterred the arrogance of the officers and soldiers.
So he immediately nodded and said, "This is a great plan! I'm not angry about what Luo Li did. These officers and soldiers should indeed be killed! Scums out the soldiers and the people! Well said! Just do what you said! Play the banner of suppressing the soldiers and the people, and see who the people in the world will help! Ha ha!"
In this matter, Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered to customize a big flag in the army, and asked Niu Jinxing to write down the four characters of suppressing soldiers and people in person, and embroidered them on the flag with black thread.
Although Xiao Tianjian and Niu Jinxing should have thought of this time, after all, this time the officers and soldiers launched an in-control against the control area of the Xingtian Army in western Henan from several directions.
Xiao Tianjian first led the team to win over Zu Dale's department in Yichuan, and the whole department of Zu Dale's department got a good start. Then Zhao Erli won a small victory against Chen Yongfu in Ruyang County, and then Luo Li defeated Wang Shaoyu's department in Yichuan. Originally, the situation could be said to be very optimistic, but what Xiao Tianjian didn't expect was Lu's side. Liu Yao was caught in a crisis.
