Chapter 084 Xu Huang Goes Out of the City to Attack at Night
Cai Yan was also extremely smart. Although he was worried about Wei Xuan, he did not dare to stay here and delay Wei Xuan's command, so he took Xu'er down to the tower just as Chunqin and the other four girls took him back to the Wei Mansion.
Let’s also say that Mrs. Guo led the bandits to Anyi and were killed by Wei Xuan out of the city. They retreated a few miles to stabilize their position. When they found out that Wei Xuan did not pursue them, they were anxious and angry. They were so anxious that the follow-up troops would not arrive one after another until tomorrow.
Angry, he waited for the four leaders and tens of thousands of people to set up camp, but Wei Xuan led more than a hundred cavalry to defeat them.
Now Mrs. Guo finally understood why Yang Feng was as afraid of Wei Xuan as a tiger. If Yang Feng's 600 people had faced Wei Xuan's 100 people today, I am afraid that Yang Feng would have been wiped out if Wei Xuan even thought about it. No wonder Yang Feng was so honest back then.
Only thirty people were allowed to enter the city, so they really only sent thirty people to kill the Tang family members. They didn't even dare to touch the Xiangling treasury. The difference in strength was too big, so of course they couldn't make any moves.
However, Mrs. Guo is not someone who is so willing to admit defeat, not to mention that he is still quarreling with Yang Feng. The whole army is watching him. Although Wei Xuan's cavalry is powerful, it can be concluded that there are only a hundred in the entire Anyi City.
There are fifty or sixty cavalry! Next, we just need to find a way to mobilize some spearmen. If Wei Xuan dares to come out again, he must keep all these cavalry. If he can capture Wei Xuan personally, everything will be fine.
After calming down for a while, Mrs. Guo ordered the team to camp on the spot, sent people to the direction of Xiangfen to urge the remaining troops to hurry up, and sent scouts to reconnoiter the remaining three gates of Anyi.
Soon good news came. It turned out that more than 10,000 victims who had gathered at the west gate of Anyi were persuaded by the city officials before the city gate was closed. A few heard that the bandits were coming and chose to go south, while a few who were extremely smart chose to go south.
They entered the vicinity of the manors of major families outside the city. But there were still six to seven thousand people lingering. They had been hungry for a day before Guo Tai led the rebels to Anyi. Most of them were now weak.
Guo Taizheng was worried that he did not have enough troops. Wei Xuan killed 1,500 of his 10,000 people in one round. Hearing that the scouts had come to report, Guo Taizheng personally rushed to the west gate with hundreds of followers. After some lobbying, coercion and inducements, he
Selection, selected four thousand people from this group of disaster victims to add to his team.
Mrs. Guo did not let go of the remaining ones who were unwilling to join or were old and frail. She drove them outside her camp. She gave these people a meal that night to regain some of their energy and prepare to drive them away when they attack the city tomorrow.
Charge in front to consume the Anyi defenders.
Wei Xuan in the city heard that Mrs. Guo had taken in the victims outside the city, and he sighed in his heart. After all, he was still missing a trick. If he had known that the prefect's mansion had enough food, he should have put these people into the city. No matter what happened, he would have to put them in.
The young and strong men were completely selected, and now they have an advantage over the thieves.
It was already too late to be upset. Wei Xuan guessed that several thousand people would join the bandits. Coupled with the bandits arriving one after another tomorrow, once the number exceeds 20,000, the bandit's claimed army of 100,000 might come true.
Just at this time, Wang Qiang sent someone to report that four teams came one after another from the direction of Xiangfen. Each team had between 1,000 and 2,000 people. Each team carried a large amount of baggage, which was obviously plundered from Xiangfen City.
property.
Standing on the city tower, Wei Xuan could see from a distance that the bandit soldiers who were slowly coming back were setting up camp. He had not carefully identified them when he left the city for a raid before, but now he found that among the several bandit bandit leaders, he was the only one who had ever dealt with him.
Yang Feng was not outside the city, and the scouts reported that the teams coming from Xiangfen were far apart and numbered four. If Wei Xuan remembered correctly, Guo Tai and others were five leaders, so where was Yang Feng? If so,
Guo Tai and the other four people had a crowd of more than 20,000. If Yang Feng came to Anyi again, wouldn't it increase to 30,000 or more at once? You must know that Yang Feng took away two of the Tang family's manors, and there would definitely be no food.
Take less. According to the fourth leader of Huo Shan, their reward for going to Paiziling in Qingfeng Village is 10,000 shi of grain, so Yang Feng may have more than this number!
In the evening, after training the new recruits, Xu Huang and Bai Shu came to the city tower. Looking at the looming bandit camp in the distance, Xu Huang suggested: "Supervisor, why don't you lead the county soldiers to rob the camp tonight?"
?”
"Guo Taixin suffered a loss before, and he will definitely take precautions tonight. If we can find a way to transfer the victims Guo Taixin has taken away, it will also reduce some of the future defense pressure."
Looking at Xu Huang who was eager to give it a try, Wei Xuan suddenly remembered the information Wang Qiang sent before, then glanced at Xu Huang and said with a smile: "There is really something for you to do tonight..."
Xu Huang lowered his head to listen, nodded frequently, and finally said with his eyes widened: "If Huang takes all the cavalry out, what should happen if the rebels attack Anyi?"
Wei Xuan had previously discussed with the Wei family that in the event that the city of Anyi was breached, a hundred cavalry would lead the core members of the Wei family to flee Anyi. Xu Huang also knew this because his parents and younger siblings were all arranged among the hundred people.
Wei Xuan looked at Xu Huang seriously and said: "Whether Guo Tai and others will attack Anyi in a short time depends on your raid tonight and the harassment in the next few days. Take the time to prepare, remember that everyone at least
Bring three days of dry food, try to hide your whereabouts, and send more scouts along the way. If things go wrong, hide in Wenxi County."
Xu Huang then quietly led the two hundred cavalry assembled by Wei Xuan out of the west gate of Anyi, took a detour to hear the news, and headed towards Xiangfen. It was already the third watch when they encountered the first band of thieves. When the scouts came to report
There was a bandit camp five miles ahead. Xu Huang immediately sent a few scouts to keep an eye on the bandits, while he rested where he was. For about half an hour, the two hundred men remounted their horses and marched slowly to the bandit camp for about a mile.
In addition, everyone was surprised to find that this group of thieves numbered about two thousand, but no scouts were arranged to be on duty at night, so Xu Huang no longer hesitated and ordered everyone to light torches and kill this group of thieves.
Different from the regular army marching, these bandit soldiers not only had no scouts, but also no temporary fences in the camp. Because they brought a large amount of food and grass from Xiangfen, most of the bandit soldiers were sleeping and sleeping in their clothes, lying staggering next to the cart.
Many people even slept directly under the cart. When more than 200 torches were thrown at the food and grass from all directions, most of the soldiers did not wake up, and the few who woke up were so scared that they died because of the
Huo Guang, Xu Huang and others began to kill, especially Xu Huang. One strike of the forty-pound ax often split open the cart and the people on it.
Hundreds of the two thousand thieves died in their sleep. Many who were awakened were killed by the cavalry's kind-hearted swords before they could find their weapons. Some clever ones saw the raging fire in the camp and immediately
Escape.
However, those thieves who tried to escape to Xiangfen were quickly strangled by the scouts hidden in the dark.
There are also those who are not afraid of death. They use the space between the two vehicles to cleverly avoid the cavalry. They slowly gather dozens of people and then fight out together, unable to withstand the heat of the fire, trying to escape.
Of course, what awaits them is ruthless killing. If they choose to camp in the mountains and forests, they may be able to escape partially with the protection of the trees. Now they are in the open wilderness, how can they outrun the horses on foot?
The blood was waiting for the fire to dance in the cold night of early spring. As the fire light danced, more and more people were suffocated by the fire. The few who took out had no resistance at all and were directly killed by the cavalry's sword. The whole
The same scene played out everywhere in the camp.
Soon the battlefield became quiet, and only the roar of war horses and the sound of fire burning food and grass were left. Three to four hundred of the two thousand thieves were directly killed in the flames, and another five to six hundred were killed by the cavalry when they tried to escape.
On the ground, only two or three hundred people fell in the actual frontal confrontation with the cavalry, and the remaining six or seven hundred people were all taken prisoner. They were improvised and had no clear target in Wuhe. Now they see
Such a fierce cavalry basically has no other ideas.
It's just that these prisoners didn't know that Xu Huang's mission tonight was not just to eliminate this small group of supplies, so when these thieves had their weapons confiscated and tied up, Xu Huang ordered them to be driven to a place close to the fire source, and then without hesitation
Ordered all the prisoners to be massacred. Some supervisors did not agree and clashed with the goods yard. The result was the same miserable end.
Soon the baggage carried by Lian Tong, a baggage team of 2,000 people, was completely destroyed.
Afterwards, everyone rested on the spot for half an hour and then continued towards the northeast.
Han Lei is the brother-in-law of General Guo Tai of the Baibo Army. He followed Mrs. Guo and rushed into Xiangfen City immediately. After Mrs. Guo robbed the Wang family, she went to the county government office to wait for everyone. However, Han Lei continued with his men.
After searching the city, they not only found a large amount of money, but also found many young women. The most beautiful ones were naturally given to Mrs. Guo. He also kept two for himself and distributed the others to his subordinates for comfort. He originally did not want to leave
After decades of poverty in Xiangfen, he turned around and now lives in a big house in Xiangfen County and is served by beautiful women. However, Mrs. Guo had strict orders before leaving, so he waited until Yang Feng led his team to leave for Xiangfen.
After leaving the mausoleum, I had no choice but to take the people on their way to Anyi.
In order to vent his anger, he looted several villages along the way and set many houses on fire. He was very excited when he saw the ordinary people crying with their arms in their arms, and even personally chopped down several unarmed poor people.
.
In this way, his team was pulled down by the team in front, but he remembered that there were other leaders' men stranded before he left the city. So he was not worried about being blamed by Guo Tai in the end, and he robbed it again today.
I picked up a few young women and planned to play with them myself in the evening before giving them to my brother-in-law.
