Chapter 334 Encirclement and Counter-Encirclement
Faced with the order from the top, Babutai had no choice but to bite the bullet and get ready to work!
How to do it?
Of course, we can pull as many soldiers as we want and take as many weapons as we want, even if we can't do it when the time comes...
We will use numbers to suppress them and fill the gap with lives!
No matter what, this Qin army that rashly ran here must be crushed to death.
It is conceivable that Babutai was terrified of the Qin army to such an extent that he was completely traumatized by them and became autistic.
pitiful!
You have to know that the Qin army that came to rescue the Liangshan heroes this time consisted of only two thousand people.
In ancient times, a group of a thousand people should be called a "zu", which means that the person leading the army should be a "zu chief".
And who is Babutai on the opposite side?
He's a general! He's on the same level as Li Jize, the King of Qin.
Although he was beaten to a pulp by Li Jize on the battlefield in Qingzhou, it was truly a dimensionality reduction attack in this place.
Not only did he mobilize 10,000 troops from the Erqi Army to suppress the bandits, he also incorporated all the local troops that could be mobilized nearby, even including the yamen runners.
then……
Twenty thousand people were forcibly pulled out!
Twenty thousand people fought against two thousand people, and they had muskets and the most powerful red cannons in their hands.
Lean north on me!
The captain of the Qin army should be more accurately called the "regiment commander", because Li Jize's Qin army was organized according to the organization of later generations.
Although it is different from this era, the regiment commander Zhang Tashan still likes the title of "Soldier Chief" because he used to be a soldier of the Great Qi!
As for why he followed Li Jize, the answer was very simple...
He was originally from Qingzhou, a local army of the Great Qi. Later, when the rebels came, his army was no match for them.
Finally, the commander wanted to take them to surrender. Zhang Tashan looked down on this behavior of "selling out for fame and fortune", so he took advantage of the time when the leader was taking everyone to surrender and ran away halfway.
He ran straight back to his hometown, became a farmer, and started farming with peace of mind.
Who would have thought that Li Zhenbei was such a loser! After he destroyed Da Qi, he couldn't hold on for a few days before he collapsed.
Barbarian...
Take control of China!
Zhang Tashan was originally from the Qi army, but he had no hatred for the rebels because he was not loyal to the former court.
But now, the barbarians have actually broken in.
Whether this world belongs to the Great Qi or to rebels, it is ultimately Shenzhou's own business.
But now the barbarians have come, and they want to seize the kingdom of their ancestors and bring disaster to them, the people of Qi.
Zhang Tashan said, "I'll be the first one to disagree!"
He immediately threw away his hoe, picked up his old sword, and led a group of villagers to resist the barbarians.
But the truth is, passion is not enough to make a living. You can’t win! You absolutely can’t win!
In the end, the villagers were massacred, and the young and strong men who resisted hid in the mountains with a "blood feud" on their shoulders.
It was not until the Qin army led by King Qin Li Jize appeared and captured Qingzhou in a large-scale attack that they raised the slogan "The land is not divided by north and south, and people are not divided by old and young."
Zhang Tashan was stunned!
The King of Qin's ideas are actually the same as mine, and they are also fighting barbarians, so what else do they want?
Just like that, he came out of the mountains and joined the Qin army with his own team!
Because he brought more than a hundred people with him, once he joined the team, he was a small official. In addition, in the subsequent "Qingzhou Campaign", the second half of Qingzhou was captured. On the one hand, the army was expanded again, and on the other hand, his performance was excellent.
This is not...
Zhang Tashan is already the commander of the 12th Regiment of the 3rd Division under the Qin Army!
This time, the King of Qin even issued an order, asking him and the 12th Regiment to go here to pick up the "Heroes of Liangshan" and bring back all the heroes on the mountain and their families.
Why let Zhang Tashan and his troops do this task?
It's because he used to be a "bandit" and actually went to the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare.
As a result, Zhang Tashan ran to Liangshan with full confidence, only to see corpses all over the mountain.
Judging from the situation around, a fierce battle must have taken place here. Who would attack the heroes of Liangshan?
This is the barbarian's territory, who else could it be? Of course it's these two barbarians!
Zhang Tashan was very angry!
If it were any other team leader, he might have gone back honestly and reported the situation truthfully.
But he is different! He can't suffer any loss!
Damn it, it was all a wasted trip!
If we just go back like this, how will we report to the King of Qin? This fleet has come so far, shouldn't it be paid for its travel expenses?
With so many people here, doesn’t it cost money to feed them?
and also……
So many people in Liangshan lost their lives just like that, don’t they want revenge?
After Zhang Tashan and his brothers discussed it, they decided to follow the example of the barbarians. Since they were already here, why not rob some of the area and take back some gold, silver, and jewelry?
"It's okay to rob foreigners, but these people are all from the Great Qi. If we rob them, won't that ruin our reputation? Will we be punished by the King of Qin when we return?"
"Fool! Let's rob the barbarians and the Second Qi army. If that doesn't work, let's rob the rich! We have no shortage of food. Take away the gold, silver, jewelry and antiques, and then open the cabins to provide relief to the people. They will thank us soon."
Ok?
You know what, what Captain Zhang said really makes a lot of sense!
It is indeed a good thing to capture the city, rush into the county government office, kill the corrupt officials who work for the barbarians, and then open the granaries to provide disaster relief.
The key point is that they did come so far and originally thought they would have to fight a fierce battle.
I never thought I would be so late! Now that I'm here, it would be a bit unreasonable not to bring something back.
So, after everyone discussed it, everyone agreed.
Eat the best food, wear the best clothes, and have fun destroying the county government!
As it turned out, the city they chose was, by coincidence, the nearest one!
The main thing is that they cannot leave Tianjiang too far, otherwise if something unexpected happens and their retreat is cut off, they will not have time to escape with the help of water conservancy.
And then...
A strange misunderstanding took place in this city!
In Ji'an County, Li Cunzhi brought his team and mobilized the yamen runners and guards of Ji'an County to arrest Wang Yuanya and others.
The city is blocked, where can you go if you want to run?
Finally, they were surrounded in the land temple where they had taken refuge before. Just when Li Cunzhi sent people to persuade them to surrender, a guard came hurriedly from outside the city and said that a Qin army had surrounded the county town and they were going to attack it.
As a result, Zhang Tashan had made arrangements and was ready to attack the city.
The scouts stationed on the periphery came to report again that the enemy army, numbering about tens of thousands, was counterattacking this side.
My Dharma!
Surround, counter-surround, counter-surround again, and counter-surround again, right?
