Although what the strategist said was very reasonable, when everyone found out that it was the strategist who said these words, they couldn't help but said to the strategist, "Shut up!"
However, because of the arrival of this large force, the military advisor's life was saved.
The bandit leader just waved and said, "Everyone, hurry up and hide. We'll talk about it later."
After hearing the bandit leader's words, the thousands of people immediately hid in the mountains and fields on both sides of the official road.
And because they scouted the team relatively early, although there were about a thousand of them at the moment, by the time the large army passed by, most of them had already hid.
In their expectation, they only thought that this large army would not stop too much when passing through here.
But they never expected that when the other party passed by, the military advisor who had suspended execution because of their arrival would suddenly shout for help.
Although the military advisor had just shouted the word for help, a group of them immediately covered each other's lips, and at the same time, they only pressed the military advisor to the ground.
However, this little commotion still attracted the attention of the leader. Therefore, when he passed this corner, the man not only stopped moving forward, but also his eyes only looked at the person who made the noise just now. Between the grass and trees.
Then he just waved his hand and shouted stop, and in an instant the army was on standby.
And the man got off his horse.
But the bandit leader hiding in the grass couldn't help but secretly groan after seeing the team's goshawk logo clearly.
The goshawk symbol is not the symbol of the Yunzhou frontier army.
They were previously frightened by a group of Yunzhou border troops and lost nearly a thousand people. Now that another group came, wouldn't their entire army be destroyed?
However, no matter what the opponent thinks, it is an indisputable fact that this team has stopped moving forward.
At the same time, I saw the leading general suddenly stepping towards the place where the noise was coming from. Then in just a moment, he uncovered three or two bandits hiding among them. These bandits could see clearly. It was the Yunzhou frontier troops who were already frightened. They were like rabbits seeing an eagle. They couldn't even resist at that moment.
Therefore, the general threw the two bandits in his hands directly to the official road in just a few moves.
Then he quickly threw the other two bandits to the official road.
It wasn't until this moment that the bandits realized what they were doing. They immediately stopped pretending and were just scrambling to escape behind the mountain.
However, before they could escape, the group of soldiers immediately joined the battle.
Following a fight, or to be more precise, a one-sided pursuit. Soon they decided the winner.
The thousand or so people, including the bandit leader, were all captured by the Yunzhou frontier army, even though a small group of them managed to escape due to the advantage of the terrain. However, the group of people who escaped could not become a big deal.
After catching these thousands of people, the leading general only said to the bandit leader, "Which village are you from?"
Facing the general's inquiry, the other party just said listlessly, "Black Dragon Village."
"Are you trying to sneak attack our army this time?" The general then asked again.
Facing the general's words, the bandit leader immediately shook his head, "How dare I sneak attack you. If I had known that it was Yunzhou border troops coming, I would have stayed far away."
"Since you don't want to sneak attack us, then why are you here? And why are you hiding here?"
Hearing this, the bandit leader said bitterly, "I don't want to be caught by you here either! But there's nothing I can do about it. We just attacked Leiyang City because we wanted to avenge our allied brothers' village. After Leiyang City, we heard that the border troops were coming for reinforcements. When we heard that the border troops were coming for reinforcements, we didn’t dare to wait any longer, so we just thought about escaping for our lives. But we didn’t expect that we would encounter you before we could escape very far. In order not to rise up head-on. Conflict, we are not allowed to hide."
After hearing what the other party said, and the other party was indeed not near the road or even
Setting up roadblocks anywhere does not look like a sneak attack on you.
Therefore, the general only temporarily believed the other party's words, but he couldn't help but retort to the other party, "We have just arrived. Which frontier army are you talking about coming for reinforcements?"
Hearing the words of the other general, the bandit leader felt his head start to buzz.
After a while, he said to the other party, "You said you didn't come to help? Whose are the two armies outflanking?"
When asked about the soul of the bandit leader, the general who had no idea what was going on naturally had no idea what he was talking about. On the contrary, the bandit strategist who was also captured reacted immediately.
He just said directly, "Your Majesty, we have fallen into a trap!"
"Fell into a trap? What kind of trap did you fall into?" the bandit leader asked displeasedly.
The bandit military advisor immediately explained, "Don't they have more than 300 defenders in the city? The small army led by Guo Shizhang just now didn't look like there were 300 people, so I I wonder if they simply split the team of 300 people into three groups. One group was led by Guo Shizhang, and the other two groups were led by others and sneaked out of the city. Then they used cavalry as cover. We saw We were still frightened when two more teams emerged from the rolling dust. They were attacking in our direction. How could we think of resisting? Moreover, when our morale was completely lost, someone suddenly said that they were Yunzhou frontier troops. How could we possibly think that the other party is a fake!"
After hearing the military advisor's analysis, the bandit leader finally came to his senses.
Looking back carefully, they actually only had a brief battle with Guo Shizhang's team, but the so-called Yunzhou frontier army was defeated without even touching it.
Moreover, at that time, dark clouds covered the sun and smoke billowed, and they did not even see clearly how many Yunzhou frontier troops were invading.
Now that I think about it, maybe all this is really Guo Shizhang's bluff.
Once he understood this, the bandit leader only became more and more angry.
You must know that if they were really defeated at the hands of the Yunzhou border troops, they could only say that they had a bad idea. But now the reality told him that he was not defeated by those border troops. They were actually defeated by those three hundred In the crowd, he felt a sense of shame.
Moreover, a team of 2,000 people would actually lose to a team of 300 people. If word spread, this is not a joke.
However, no matter how angry or ashamed he felt, it was now a foregone conclusion. He had been captured by the real Yunzhou frontier army, so he had no chance to stand up at all.
Of course, all this was just his own turmoil. The military general over there still didn't understand what the two men were talking about. He just waved his hand and said, "Pull them apart!"
Hearing this sound, the military advisor just remembered that he was shouting injustice in order to draw a clear line with this group of people, so he immediately said, "Sir, I was wronged!"
The general also remembered that the reason why he realized something was wrong here was because this man jumped out and shouted for help, so the general only looked at the military advisor and said, "What are you wrong about?"
"Sir, I am not on the same side as them. I was coerced by them!"
Upon hearing this, the general thought that there was really some grievance involved, so he just stopped turning around and said, "Oh? Why are they coercing you?"
When the military advisor heard this, he immediately said excitedly, "We were originally students who set out from Yunzhou to go to the capital to prepare for the exam, but I never thought that we would be robbed by these bandits when we passed by Heilong Village! They are The real robbers not only robbed all my friends one by one, but in the end they said they would let them go after taking the money. However, they thought they had too little money, so they only kidnapped my comrades. Finally, they The families who blackmailed my good colleagues said they would let them go for two to three hundred taels, but later they said they would need four to five hundred taels. Those people's families stopped sending money, so they broke up with them! Do you think they are hateful? "
Hearing what the strategist said, he didn't know whether those robbers were hateful or not, but it was true that the strategist was suspicious enough.
So he just didn't answer and asked, "If they are so vicious, why did you survive alone?"
Facing the general's rhetorical question, the military advisor's eyes were obviously sneaky and suspicious.
The general felt that something was wrong with his expression, and he became more suspicious that there was something fishy, although the other party quickly made up for the suspicious part after that.
"Seeing the fate of my companions, I tried to escape. Didn't I accidentally meet them and get caught by them?"
The military advisor's words were very innocent, but the general heard something unusual from them. So he just said thoughtfully, "It's about three hundred miles from here to Black Dragon Village, so it's quite a coincidence that we can meet here."
After saying this, without waiting for the military advisor to talk nonsense, he just signaled his men to go and capture the bandit leader.
The military advisor obviously heard some unusual meaning in the other party's words.
Therefore, he immediately said to the general, "What do you want to do?"
Facing the military advisor's question, the general only whispered, "I can't believe what you just say."
"Then...you can't come to him. I ruined his business and he hates me now. Can what he said be true? He has to say something to put me down before he can be right with himself?" Then At this moment, the strategist only acted preemptively, but he first gave the opponent a label that might discredit others out of revenge.
What he said was really clever. If this person said anything bad about him, he would be stepping on him. If he didn't say anything bad about him, he would be able to escape punishment. After hearing what he said, the general couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Of course I won't believe it all. I can judge for myself whether what you say is true or false."
