The surrender of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others excited Chishiro and Wang Bo. The strength of the Taishan bandits increased greatly, which made the ambitious Wang Bo no longer satisfied with just claiming the throne in Taishan County. He also wanted to occupy the entire Xuzhou and then become the king... and then join forces with other forces to overthrow the Han Dynasty and compete in the world.
Wang Bo had a good idea, and he also had the capital. There are many capable ministers under their command, plus the new recruits Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Chen Youliang, Li Chui and others. Even if their loyalty is not high, judging from the situation, in order to deal with Han generals such as Tao Qian and Qi Jiguang, they still cannot do anything in a short time. He will escape from Taishan Bandit King Bo.
At this time, the bandits of Taishan County in Xuzhou, known as Shilang Wang Bo, entertained Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others at a banquet. During the banquet, they discussed how to deal with Qi Jiguang and Tao Qian's army!
At this time, Li Chui, a poisonous scholar, said that the Han army did not know that Wang Bo and Chen Shengjun had merged. The enemy is clear and we are hidden, we can take the opportunity to ambush...
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the generals present lit up, and their admiring eyes fell on Li Chui. This statement is indeed feasible. Qi Jiguang and others do not even know Taishan County Zhishilang Wangbo!
If Qi Jiguang rashly leads the army into Taishan County, Wang Bo can hide in the dark with his men and use traps, tricks, field battles, etc. to gradually reduce the number of Qi Jiguang's army, and then fall apart and turn into ashes.
"Mr. Li Chui's wonderful idea, I, the king, would like to offer a toast to you."
Wang Bo took a fancy to Li Chui's talent, expressed his respect and admiration, raised the bowl filled with fine wine, and was all smiles!
Li Chui's eyes lit up when he saw Wang Bo's move, and then he suppressed his inner thoughts very well. It would be unkind for Chen Shengjun's current military advisor to abandon Chen Sheng and join Wang Bo.
Even though he was kidnapped by Chen Sheng, he was so kind to me that he was deeply moved. Therefore, I will not turn around and seek refuge with Wang Bo!
Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others were relieved when they saw that Li Chui did not accept Wang Bo's toast. Then, in order to ease the embarrassment, Chen Sheng stood up and expressed his gratitude to Wang Bo.
The banquet had been going on for about half an hour, and the generals in Wang Bo's army had already become acquainted with General Chen Shengjun. Among them, Chen Youliang had good relations with the lieutenant generals of Wang Bo's army: Nao Tianlong, Peng Hu, Guo Zihe, Guo Fangyu, and Bai Yusuo!
All we have to do is offer incense, kneel down, and become brothers...
Chen Youliang was full of scheming, even though he followed Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others to temporarily seek refuge with Wang Bo. But his ambition caused his charm to explode, and he had a close relationship with Wang Bo's generals!
At the end of the banquet, Zhishi Lang Wang Bo already understood the approximate strength of Tao Qianjun and Qi Jiguangjun. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle...
"Report! The Han army has arrived in Taishan County!"
A scout came to report the situation, which made Nachi Shilang and Wang Bo furious. He didn't go to trouble the Han army, but they came to trouble him instead? Since you dare to go to Taishan County, you must show some color to these Han troops!
Wang Bo was furious, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned his two favorite generals, Sun Hua and Zhao Wanhai.
Order the two of them to take 10,000 soldiers with Wu Guang to stop and ambush Qi Jiguang and others! Li Chui's words kept echoing in Wang Bo's mind.
Taishan County has many dense forests and mountainous areas, so it can be hidden in the mountains and forests. With the help of fire attacks or traps, Qi Jiguang and others will not be killed without wasting a single soldier!
"The general will obey his orders"
The second general received the order and immediately called Wu Guang, who was in Chen Sheng's army, and asked him to make suggestions for the army. After all, Wu Guang knows more about the situation of Qi Jiguang and Tao Qianjun...
Having him lead the way or help save Sun Hua and Zhao Wanhai some unnecessary trouble.
As a result, Qi Jiguang and others did not know that there was an ambush and rushed into the trap. I am afraid that heavy casualties are inevitable!
After the second general received the order, he ordered tens of thousands of people to march southward to Fenggao and Liangfu counties on the edge of Taishan County in the south.
Turning to the perspective of Qi Jiguang and others, they headed north to Taishan County, marching cautiously along the way for fear of encountering an ambush by Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others.
After arriving in Taishan County, they sent scouts to inquire about the news. It was better not to inquire, but once they inquired, the traces were exposed!
Zhishilang Wangbo had been domineering in Taishan County for some time, and there were hidden lines everywhere. The scout sent out by Qi Jiguang asked a woodcutter for information. The woodcutter directly understood the scout's idea. After lying about the situation, he quickly Report the situation to the nearby hidden leader.
The secret leader then reported the information to Tomoyo Wang Bo... Less than two days after Qi Jiguang's army entered Taishan County, Wang Bo knew the whereabouts of Qi Jiguang and others.
In addition to sending his confidants Sun Hua and Zhao Wanhai to fight, Wang Bo also asked Chen Sheng, Chen Youliang, Li Chui and others to lead his own soldiers to conduct traps and ambush on the road that Qi Jiguang's army must pass.
Double layout, just waiting for Qi Jiguang and others to sneak in...
Extremely abominable!
Compared with Chen Sheng, this Wang Bo has some brains. In addition, all its layout and planning were based on consultation with the poisonous scholar Li Chui, which resulted in its strategy being continuously improved, with a feasibility rate of up to 80%.
Qi Jiguang and others didn't know Chi Shilang Wang Bo. After hearing the words of the scout who came back to report the situation, Qi Jiguang and others headed north towards Fenggao.
"Ahem! Taishan County is prosperous. It should not have been destroyed by thieves..."
Qi Jiguang led his army along the way, but there was no tragic situation in Taishan County where there were no roosters crowing for thousands of miles and bones were exposed in the wild.
Not to mention being completely wealthy, but it is still achievable with just enough energy! Qi Jiguang praised the magistrate of Taishan County for his wisdom, but little did he know that the magistrate of Taishan County had been ignored by Wang Bo and turned into a puppet.
As the uncrowned king of Taishan County, how could Wang Bo see that the people under his rule were miserable? He also rebelled against the common people, so he knew the dangers of the common people's rebellion. Therefore, after the uprising was successful and the county guard was vacated, he sent his subordinate officials to govern the entire Taishan County.
At the same time, eyeliners and other things are all over every corner of Taishan County...
Qi Jiguang had no idea that his idea was wrong. If he knew that these prosperous scenes were all caused by Wang Bo, the rebel, he didn't know what his expression would be like.
Maybe it’s surprise, maybe it’s surprise, or maybe it’s pity!
"The army marches"
Qi Jiguang was extremely satisfied with Taishan County and thought he was worrying too much. This Taishan County is prosperous, how can there be thieves? Perhaps Zang Ba was overthinking.
Time flies by like a fleeting moment!
Qi Jiguang's army arrived in Fenggao County and was about to enter and rest. But they were blocked outside the city and refused to enter... What was going on?
"General, I feel something is wrong, but I don't know where the problem is. Let's not enter rashly yet!"
Liang Shitai came to Qi Jiguang's side and persuaded him. This is true, it saved the lives of all the generals in Qi Jiguang's army!
When Qi Jiguang arrived outside Fenggao County, he saw that the city gate was not open, so he prepared to lead his troops to approach and shouted. Under the city wall, Sun Hua led five thousand archers on standby at any time, waiting for Qi Jiguang to approach the city stupidly, then poke his head out and fire thousands of arrows!
"What you said is absolutely true! Let's order the scouts to go in and investigate first. We must be extremely cautious when marching and don't be careless in the slightest."
After speaking, Qi Jiguang waved his hand and sent out a scout army of more than ten people. Let them enter the city first and gather information!
If there is an ambush in the city, the army will avoid the pain of losing soldiers and generals. If there is no ambush, then the army will enter the city...
On the battlefield, scouting for information is an indispensable part. After all, unlike in the modern era, there are a lot of tools for exploring intelligence such as drones, thermal sensors, and radars!
This is also an area where Yuan Jun still needs to strengthen. After all, scouts are also soldiers. Every time they arrive at a certain place, they will lose a lot of scouts.
At the end of the battle, the soldiers were killed by the bandits just for serving as scouts...
Then again, the scouts sent out by Qi Jiguang were never heard from again after entering the city. I had promised to come back in a quarter of an hour, but it was almost half an hour now, and none of the dozen or so scouts had come back!
Isn't this clear enough?
"Hey, thanks for the reminder, brother, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses in this battle!"
Qi Jiguang patted Liang Shitai beside him and said gratefully. Then they began to discuss countermeasures on how to eliminate the thieves in the city!
Qi Jiguang and others don't know how many thieves there are in total. The lion fought against the rabbit, but he still tried his best, so Qi Jiguang and other generals did not take it lightly...
"Where is Liang Shitai?"
"The general is here!"
"I order you to be the vanguard, and Yang Zhi to be the deputy general! Lead three thousand soldiers to attack the city, form a shield formation for defense, and break open the city gate."
Qi Jiguang gave this order very well. Liang Shitai was already thirsty for the big hammer in his hand, so he bent over and took the order, then ordered the army to march towards the city wall.
Push the cart, form a circular formation, and carry a large shield. Liang Shitai's army was like a giant steel beast, slowly advancing towards Fenggao City Wall.
The Fenggao city wall was not particularly strong, let alone the city gate. The thieves were ambushing in the city. After Liang Shitai's army entered the shooting range, they leaned out, bent their bows and nocked arrows, and fired thousands of arrows.
Unfortunately, he had already been prepared. The feathered arrows were like raindrops, falling on the 'steel beast', causing zero damage to Liang Shitai's army.
Liang Shitai's army slowly moved to the city gate and advanced with their chariots. The city gate made a loud roar and creaking noise. There were even many soldiers under the shields, pushing hard against the city gate!
In about a quarter of an hour, the city gate had reached the edge of collapse, but it was still a little short of it.
"Get out of the way, this general is here."
Seeing that the city gate had not fallen down, Liang Shitai roared angrily, swung two big hammers in his hands, and hit the city gate with all his strength, only two hammers came down.
The huge wooden city gate collapsed, and the city gate opened!
"Soldiers, kill!"
When Qi Jiguang saw the city gate open, he led the remaining generals to attack and file into the city. At this time, the bandit army was confused. He did not expect that the city gate would be knocked down by Liang Shitai's two hammers.
(The reason why the city gate collapsed was mainly due to the hard work of the soldiers before, which made the city gate close to falling. Liang Shitai hit the key point with two hammers, causing the city gate to collapse.)
In normal times, even a hundred hammer blows might not be able to knock down the city gate!
The thieves in the city were shocked when they saw the Han army filing in. Sun Hua, the leader of the bandit army, organized the army to continue the counterattack, and ordered the soldiers to put down their bows and arrows, take out their swords from their waists, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Han army...
Speaking of which, I have to mention Yuan Jun’s armor configuration. Yuan Shu had the system mall and so many summoning points, but he didn't know how to use his skills on the blade. He only knew how to summon talents, but he didn't know how to redeem some refined weapon making drawings or hard armor making drawings.
This hand-to-hand battle highlights the seriousness of the problem. There is not much difference in strength between the two armies. In terms of equipment, Yuan Jun may be better, but only a little bit better...
In hand-to-hand combat, Liang Shitai and Yang Zhi showed their prowess. However, the number of soldiers under his command was less than the number of rebels, so the vanguard suffered heavy casualties!
If Yuan Jun's soldiers were all equipped with steel knives and strong armor, making the thieves invulnerable, then the situation in this battle might be different.
The battle between the two armies is coming to an end, and the addition of Qi Jiguang and others is like the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Seeing that this was not good, Sun Hua fled with more than a thousand soldiers under his command and ran towards the place where Zhao Wanhai was hiding.
"General, I am willing to pursue and kill the thief."
Liang Shitai and Yang Zhi said in unison, they saw that Sun Hua's defeated troops were fleeing, the flags were crooked and broken, the soldiers were panicking, their baggage and weapons were dropped on the ground, and even the shoes of the thieves were gone...
Seeing this, Qi Jiguang laughed, and then agreed with Liang Shitai and Yang Zhi to pursue the bandits.
This thief has committed a serious crime! As the saying goes, don't chase after a poor enemy. Yang Zhi and Liang Shitai fell into an ambush by thieves on this trip, and the sheep fell into the tiger's mouth!
Although Sun Hua was defeated and fled, he already knew the outcome. After all, Wu Guang once said that Qi Jiguang was brave and resourceful, not just an ordinary person... He should always be vigilant when dealing with such a powerful opponent.
His defeat and escape were also part of the plan. It was his defeat and the loss of the army that attracted the Han army to pursue him. When the Han generals arrived at the ambush area, they were doomed!
The reason why it was said to be a dead end was precisely because Zhao Wanhai had placed a lot of flammable materials and kerosene in the ambush, and the weather was dry and windy.
Once a spark rises, it will start a prairie fire, and Liang Shitai and others are at the center of the storm. As long as the fire breaks out, Liang Shitai and other Yuan Jun soldiers who come to pursue him will be killed in the sea of fire!
How to defeat such a vicious plot?
Liang Shitai and other generals pursued him non-stop. When they saw the thief entering the dense forest, they wanted to follow him and rush into the dense forest.
"Ding! Yuan Shu's skill 'Emperor's Fate' is activated to bless the luck of Liang Shitai and other generals during the Battle of Xuzhou."
"Wait!"
Just when the army was about to enter an ambush, Yang Zhi quickly raised his hand and ordered the entire army to stop. This puzzled Liang Shitai, so he put his head around and asked why!
"General Liang Shitai, have you forgotten how the two generals Liu Tang and Chao Gai died?"
As soon as these words came out, Liang Shitai was stunned, his face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. Looking at the thieves hiding in the dense forest, Liang Shitai had a complicated expression!
Fire attacks were involved in the deaths of Chao Gai and Liu Tang. Take a closer look at the environment here. There were a lot of withered yellow leaves and dry grass on the ground, and there was a strong wind blowing towards me.
If a thief starts the fire, the sea of fire will spread, and you and others will not escape death!
