Chapter 129 Raid and harassment war
Alitai sat leisurely in his tent. It was cold outside, but the house was as warm as spring. While tasting the wine in the glass, he gently tapped the table with his fingers and issued a string of rhythmic drum beats, which was the most popular tune in the metropolitan city recently.
However, there was no one else in the entire military camp who could appreciate it except him, which made him very dissatisfied with this. It was not like the Han generals before. They could not only appreciate it with him, but also stand up and sing a song or two. In this wilderness, what else can I do besides this?
Unfortunately, Zhang Heng turned against the enemy in the last battle, which also led to A Shu no longer trusting the entire Han army. He directly arrested all the Han generals who followed Alitai and interrogated them one by one, and finally basically killed them. The rest were either sent to the exile or sent back to the majority of the people for trial. The soldiers of the Han army were also sent to other places for temporary care. A Shu really didn't want to see another rebellious general appearing next to Alitai.
Now all around him are Mongols, and the Semu mercenary who lost more than 400 people were also arranged here, but these people are all standard Qiu Ba, and they all obey orders when they fight without any problems. However, the literary and artistic activities really have nothing to do with them, which makes Alitai angry when he sees them, so he would rather lock himself in his tent than meet these people.
Just as he was singing happily, he closed his eyes and remembered the charming scenery on Zuiyue Tower in the city, he suddenly heard a noise outside, "I want to see the general, I want to see the general, I want to report something urgent!"
He immediately lost all his interest and couldn't help but frown and looked outside, "Who is making noise outside? Call me out!"
The guards outside were all the masters of the Qiexue Army. They were about to pull out the shouting person, and the man was also anxious, "What happened to the general, and what happened to the general!"
Alitai finally couldn't sit still. He walked to the door of his camp with a gloomy face, lifted the curtain, and immediately a cold wind blew towards him, "What's wrong? If you lied to me, I'll drop you kid at the door and make it into air-dried meat!" His voice was very cold and his face looked even more ugly.
The man immediately knelt on the ground when he saw Alitai, "General, something really happened. Our scout discovered this morning that a team of 100 people was attacked by the enemy, less than thirty miles away from us."
"Are you all dead?" Alitai suddenly asked coldly.
The man was stunned for a moment and replied to the truth, "Everyone was dead! Everyone was cut off their heads. It seemed that they did this on purpose to anger us. Their clothes were stripped naked, and the weapons, bows and arrows used for food were gone, and the remains of more than ten war horses were still there, but the most meaty part on them was taken away by Song Gou. It seemed that they had no food."
"They have no food for a long time!" Alitai snorted dissatisfiedly, "not only does there be no food, no salt and cold clothes, but how many times have they robbed them in the past twenty days? How many of us have attacked? Have you calculated it? I have calculated it. The things they snatched back have been enough for a while."
"So will we chase it right away?" the general asked immediately.
Alitai looked at him, his eyes as if he was looking at another monster. "If you want to go, go, you will also bring a team of 100 people, match enough food and salt, and go and send them something."
The general immediately swallowed the following words back into his stomach when he first entered the mountainous area. If they had a warlike heart, they would have lost all their thoughts now, and they were just thinking about how to get out alive.
Those despicable dogs are simply not humans. They use all kinds of disgusting tricks to deal with their own people, and use them to shoot arrows and sticks in every way. As long as a small army is alone, they will definitely become their targets for attack. But the most outrageous thing is that they fight during the day and don’t sleep by themselves at night, or they beat gongs and drums to make people panic. As long as they wait one by one, they will suddenly rush out from somewhere and kill them. Many troops are nervous, staring at pandas, let alone fighting, and they can fall asleep even while standing.
At the beginning, A Shu only sent three or four teams to the mountain to encircle and suppress, but soon found that these teams were not Zhang Shun's opponents at all, and the vastness of this mountain area was completely beyond his imagination, so he had to continue to increase his troops. The number of soldiers in this mountain area exceeded 50,000. However, facing opponents who were elusive and were completely uneasy in playing cards, they were still helpless. Apart from constantly consuming, they were hitting walls everywhere.
Three days ago, Zhang Shun seemed to have become tired of this kind of cat-catching mice. He began to close the net in a planned manner. He actually killed three thousand-man teams in a row, fighting the Yuan army at the beginning so frightened that they were all soldiers. No one knew when the enemy would suddenly rush out from where and send them to the Heaven of Eternity. This kind of life was simply torment. It was really better to attack the enemy directly. It would be better to die and live as much as you would be more worried than to be so nervous every day.
But there is an exception here, that is, Alitai's troops. This 15,000-man troops have always maintained a complete system and have not suffered much damage so far. Only a few hundred-man teams have been killed, but there is no problem with the large army.
At the beginning, many generals were puzzled. Later, they learned that Alitai had always refused to be proposed by his subordinates to divide the troops. They just stayed here in a group. So many people made Zhang Shun dare not speak, so everyone else learned this trick and went back to practice. But strangely, they were still harassed by Zhang Shun, but Alitai was very quiet.
Of course, this kind of quietness has a price, but few people know this price, at least no one in the upper class knows it. Although some people in this team know it, what can they do if their coach takes it seriously?
After the first time he encountered Zhang Shun harassing at night, Alitai immediately ordered the entire army to retreat five miles and leave all the tents. Not only that, he also left a lot of food, salt and clothes. Zhang Shun, who had collected the things, rarely harassed them.
