Jiagu Asu can't leave by himself.
If he walked away, those grown-up soldiers would cause a stir and quickly flee the battlefield, making it impossible for him to fight.
But he couldn't just wait here.
So he decided to deploy a relatively capable army of soldiers and horses and bring their own rations to attack quickly.
Try to get out of the situation and make some achievements before he starts again, so that there won't be much difference in time.
After arriving in Tai'an Prefecture, he can use Tai'an Prefecture's food to supplement his food gap.
Well, no matter how you look at it, it’s a very good choice.
Regarding this decision, Jiagu Asu's close confidant Mu Huoli raised objections, which was due to Jiagu Asu's own doubts before.
"Currently we don't know much about the actual strength of the bandit army. Even if the bandit army cannot resist me, as long as we defend the city with strong walls and clear fields, there is nothing we can do. Or perhaps the bandit army is extremely large in number and cannot win completely with only a small number of elites. Commander Please think twice."
This time, Jiagu Asu decisively rejected Mu Huoli's objection.
"Soldiers are very fast. We don't know how long we will have to wait here. The commander of the army has sent a document asking us to march as soon as possible. Is there any other way for us to go?"
Mu Huoli was not unclear about the situation in the army, and with Shu Hu Si Ji's military writing, he quietly retreated without saying anything else.
This decision was quickly adopted, and Jiagu Asu decided to appoint general Wanyan Shengtao to lead an elite attack on Tai'an Prefecture, while he stayed here to deal with the river problem as soon as possible.
Wanyan Shengtao is a descendant of the clan in a broad sense.
Of course, in this broad sense, it almost corresponds to Liu Bei's status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and is relatively distant from the current royal family.
Precisely because of the distance, his family was able to survive the bloodbath after Wan Yanliang came to the throne unscathed to this day.
It's a blessing in misfortune.
At the moment, he is just a mid-level officer in the army, leading a group of people to live their lives, but because of his clan status, he always gets some special treatment.
Jiagu Asu decided to give this good opportunity to Wanyan Shengtao.
Wanyan Shengtao has been following Jiagu Asu for a while and has a close relationship, so Jiagu Asu wants to let him make some achievements, so that he can rise faster through his clan status.
Then it is also good for yourself.
Wanyan Shengtao did not expect that Jiagu Asu would give up this good opportunity to him. He was very grateful to Jiagu Asu for his generosity and immediately went to lead the troops and prepare for war.
Jiagu Asu gathered 1,500 soldiers for Wanyan Shengtao, all female real soldiers, 1,000 more skilled cavalry, and 500 horse infantry who could ride horses.
The mounted infantry is specially prepared for one hundred elites who can serve as heavy cavalry.
The equipment of the heavy cavalry is very heavy, and the armor is very thick. They cannot travel long distances and can only be worn in battle. When the time comes, they will need help to dress and prepare for battle faster, so Jiagu Asu has such preparations.
If you encounter some difficult enemies, you can dispatch armored cavalry to deal with them.
Jiagu Asu was also extremely kind and gave Wanyan Shengtao the greatest support within the scope of what he could prepare.
"Do not disappoint me."
Jiagu Asu looked at Wanyan Shengtao expectantly.
Wanyan Shengtao nodded firmly.
"I will chop off the heads of 3,000 rebels and build a Jingguan to dedicate them to you!"
Then he led his army to attack with great ambition.
Of course, Su Yonglin learned this news soon.
Su Yonglin was of course very happy at first, because the Jin Army actually divided its forces. He did not dare to really imagine that the Jin Army divided its forces and then design this battle according to the pattern of the Jin Army's division of troops.
He was mentally prepared for a head-on confrontation with the main force of the Jin Army.
As a result, the Jin army divided its troops and sent out 1,500 cavalry to attack alone. The main force stopped in the river blockage area, probably hoping to wait for the river to clear before continuing to advance.
Although Su Yonglin was happy, he was a little puzzled.
One thousand and five hundred people dared to separate from the main force and attack alone. How much do these guys despise the Liberation Army?
But I can't control that much right now. If I don't eat the fat meat delivered to my door, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
"Go ahead with the order and be prepared to lure the enemy. The entire army is also ready to attack. Once you hear the order, you must attack immediately. If you are late, military law will be enforced!"
"Here!"
The messenger next to Su Yonglin immediately spread the news to the front-line troops.
The front-line commanders and fighters of the Shengjie Army were also ready to attack.
It was not without reason that Wanyan Shengtao was admired by Jiagu Asu. He did not send out sentries to search for the enemy first, but sent a team of more than 20 cavalrymen to act as vanguards and conduct inspections far ahead. Condition.
It has no practical effect at all.
Of course, it's not that Wanyan Shengtao seems to have no effect.
Wanyan Shengtao thinks it is still very effective.
Because after marching for half a day, his vanguards discovered a group of baggage troops heading east under the banner of the Liberation Army about ten miles ahead.
There were piles of large and small boxes in the convoy of the Liberation Army, which were transported by mules and horses. It was not known what they were transporting, but based on preliminary judgment, they should be good things.
Wanyan Shengtao rubbed his chin and thought for a while, feeling that there was something wrong.
Why is there a supply force here?
It's a scam!
"How many people are accompanying you to protect you?"
he asked.
"There are cavalry and infantry. There are not many, two to three hundred people."
There are escorts accompanying you.
Um.
Then it seems there should be no problem.
Wanyan Shengtao felt that an army with such low quality as the Liberation Army would definitely not play tricks.
As for this team...
what is it then?
oh!
The Liberation Army attacked cities everywhere and killed corrupt officials. It should have scraped a lot of oil and water from them. The contents of those boxes should be the oil and water from those corrupt officials who were killed.
"God help me."
Wanyan Shengtao dispelled his doubts, his eyes shone brightly, and he immediately led his troops to accelerate forward, and then suddenly attacked the Liberation Army's baggage convoy with 300 cavalry.
As Wanyan Shengtao expected, this Liberation Army was no different from the ones he had seen before. Seeing Wanyan Shengtao leading his troops to fight, they were shocked and had no intention of fighting.
The cavalry immediately fled on horseback, and the infantry immediately fled. They didn't want their chariots, horses, or boxes, and they were going to die.
The escape was also clumsy, knocking the boxes on the car around, and the copper coins, gold and silver, silk, pearls, jade and other valuables inside were immediately scattered all over the floor.
Under the sun, these belongings reflected a dazzling light.
These two hundred boxes are all filled with gold and silver treasures? !
The eyes of the three hundred cavalrymen who attacked were straightened. They instantly forgot that they were on the battlefield and did not care about the pursuit. They dismounted and started looting.
Good guy, gold, silver and jewelry!
Not to mention their eyes were straightened, the eyes of Wanyan Shengtao behind him were also straightened, and the eyes of the cavalry following him were also straightened one or two.
I don’t know who was the first to rush over. Anyway, with the first one taking the lead, the cavalry behind them couldn’t restrain their desires.
The one at the front took advantage of the distance and rushed forward, dismounted and started to grab, very fiercely.
Those at the back didn't understand what was going on, so they all came to the front to take a look. At first glance, they felt great regret and regretted why they were not in the front line. Then they pushed forward one after another, with horses squeezing horses and people pushing others. The scene was chaotic. .
Those who rushed forward fought fiercely.
You grab a piece of jade and I grab a string of pearls. You grab a handful of copper coins and I grab a piece of cloth. It doesn’t matter how much you can hold on your body. If you grab it in your hand, it is yours. With red eyes, you will grab the property on the ground into your arms. If you touch it, If someone tries to grab something from him, he will also kick him away.
"Don't grab it from me!"
"That'smine!"
"Go pick it up yourself!"
The scene became chaotic.
As the commander-in-chief, Wanyan Shengtao was very dissatisfied with this.
He stepped forward decisively, pulled out his sword and placed it across the neck of a red-eyed soldier. The red-eyed soldier felt the cold blade and was immediately frightened.
"General, I...I didn't..."
"What are you trying to rob? What's there to rob?"
He waved his hand, and the guards around him stepped forward and snatched everything from the soldier's arms.
The soldier was still a little confused and unwilling to let go.
"This is mine! Mine!"
"fart!"
Wanyan Shengtao raised his leg and kicked the soldier to the ground. He instructed his guards to grab all his things, then left the soldier and continued to grab other things.
He was very unhappy because these big-headed soldiers were snatching money faster than he was. If he hadn't been able to control his personal guards, he felt like he would definitely lose blood today.
These insatiable white-eyed wolves!
Dare to fight with the superior?
Wanyan Shengtao was so angry that he had no time to think about how strange this situation was. He just ordered his guards to team up with him to grab things, completely ignoring the current environment.
Su Yonglin, the chief general of the Shengjie Army, was watching the group of Jin Army cavalry who were robbing property from the top of a hill not far away.
