Although Wangjiaji is just a market, in Bujiha's eyes, it is a very valuable goal...
At this time, although the Wangjia Market has been closed due to the tense border situation, the merchants who were originally active in the market have also gone home. Although people have gone home, the goods originally used for trading in the market have Still staying in the warehouse of the market, the Ma family has found out for him that there is a large amount of grain, cloth and silk stored in the warehouse of the market, which are all materials needed by the Luobi people!
In addition, as a market, although Wangjiaji has fortifications, they are not very tight. The Fengwu Army only has about 300 people stationed here, and the rest are local volunteer militiamen. , such a defensive force, the cavalry is naturally enough to deal with ordinary bandits, but it is naturally not enough to deal with the elite Luobi cavalry led by Bujiha.
In Bujiha's view, Wangjiaji, which is rich in materials but lacks defensive capabilities, is a piece of fat delivered to their Luobi mouth. As long as they Luobi people are willing, they can take this piece of fat as their own at any time!
He had already made up his mind to immediately raid Wangjiaji before Fengwu's army knew he had entered the country. Then, before Fengwu's army could react, he immediately packed up the supplies in Wangjiaji and took them away quickly. Return to the grassland and wait for the Fengwu Army to react and gather their troops. They have already fled on the grassland.
In this way, they not only fulfilled their promise to the Ma family and got the benefits promised by the Ma family, but also followed the order of the Great Khan and did not engage in a loud and large-scale war with the Fengwu Army. This time they sent troops against the Fengwu Army. In the name of sanctioning the Ma family and affecting the trade between Youyan and Luo Bei, it is appropriate to raid the commercial center of Wangjiaji...
Third, the Wang family collected abundant supplies, which was enough to greatly enhance Bujiha's reputation among the Luobi people. Thinking of this, Bujiha's rough face couldn't help but reveal a proud smile. According to Zhou people, this should be It's called killing three eagles with one stone, right?
At the same time, the guard troops gathered by the Wang family were in chaos when they saw the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of Luo Bi cavalry. Some of the militia warriors who had just been recruited a short time ago even trembled. Only a few hundred people stationed here A soldier from the Fengwu Army remained calm and closed the gate of the village tightly. Every soldier appeared at his position and watched these prairie barbarians vigilantly.
Seeing that hundreds of Fengwu Army soldiers in the central area of the market seemed to want to resist, Bujiha had a look of disdain in his eyes, and immediately waved his hand with tens of thousands of Luobi cavalry behind him, howling crazily. Zhongzhong launched a charge!
Although the Fengwu army responsible for guarding Wangjiaji was very tenacious and brave, and tried their best to organize the village brave militia in the village, and used their fire guns and tiger squatting cannons to fight back, the huge gap in strength still left them at a loss. In a short time, it was announced that the gate of the village had been lost.
The Fengwu Army and the Xiangyong had no choice but to abandon the supplies in the warehouse and retreat separately. For Bujiha and Luobei Cavalry, their combat goal was not to annihilate the Fengwu Army guarding Wangjiaji. The small force of the armed forces seized the supplies stored in the market warehouse. Therefore, seeing the retreat of the guarding troops, the Luobi people did not kill them all. They just wanted to rush into the warehouse as soon as possible to find the goods they dreamed of... ···········
Seeing that his warriors captured Wangjiaji in just one stick of incense, there was a hint of pride in Bujiha's eyes. They are the warriors of the grassland and the darlings of Changshengtian. They can choose the battlefield at will. There, the only thing those timid and cowardly Zhou people could do in the face of a surprise attack was to hide in their city and tremble!
"Give me the order to move the belongings collected by the Wang family as soon as possible. We will return to the grassland in an hour!" Bujiha said in a deep voice to his subordinates:
"yes!"
In fact, without Bujiha's orders, the Luobei people, who had not done anything good in the Great Zhou Dynasty for a long time, captured Wangjiaji so easily this time, everyone's eyes were red, just waiting to evacuate Wangjiaji for their share of the loot.
After Bujiha gave the order, Ma Hongye suddenly found Bujiha. When he met Bujiha, Ma Hongye, who was suppressing his anger, said:
"General Bujiha, I heard that you gave an order to return to the grassland in an hour?"
Facing Ma Hongye's question, Bujiha said coldly:
"I gave this order, do you have any questions?"
Listening to Bujiha's answer, Ma Hongye laughed angrily and said:
"General Bujiha, our Ma family gave you so much money to let you march straight to the city of Yijing to show the bitch-like Ye Mingsheng some color. Now you just robbed a market with your tail between your legs. He ran away in despair, what did he have to do with those bandit caravans..."
Before Ma Hongye finished speaking, Bujiha suddenly whipped out a horsewhip and hit Ma Hongye hard on the face. Ma Hongye was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a scream. Looking at Ma Hongye who was in pain with blood all over his face, Bujiha laughed ferociously and cursed fiercely:
"You damn two-legged sheep, how dare you teach me a lesson even though you are nothing? If it weren't for your usual filial piety, I would have cut off your head and used it as a chamber pot right now!"
"Hahaha!" "Hahaha!"
The Luobei people on the side burst into laughter when they heard Bujiha humiliating Ma Hongye, and their eyes looking at Ma Hongye were full of teasing and ridicule.
Ma Hongye had never received such humiliation before. He subconsciously wanted to stand up and fight Bujiha, but he was stopped by the entourage who kept calm on the side and told him to endure the calm for a while, take a step back and think about how he was still being controlled. The mediator is Ma Hongde, who is in prison. At this time, you are working hard with Bujiha, who is outside to support Ma Hongde's activities.
When he thought of his fourth brother, Ma Hongye regained his composure. A flash of humiliation flashed in his eyes. He covered the blood on his face and left in embarrassment amidst the ridicule and laughter of the Luo Bei people. After dealing with Ma Hongye's matter, he Something unexpected happened to Bujiha. A Luobi soldier hurriedly walked over to him and reported:
"Master General, General Gerina and General Zabu are fighting..."
As soon as these words came out, Bujiha was shocked and immediately asked:
"what happened?"
Under Bugiha's cannibalistic gaze, the Luobi soldier slowly told what happened. It turned out that Wangjiaji's warehouse was not filled with grain and silk cloth as described in the intelligence, but only leftovers. A small number of warehouses store grain and silk cloth, while more warehouses store more valuable gold and silver. Dozens and hundreds of boxes filled with silver and gold are just placed in the warehouses.
Although the Ma family's intelligence was wrong, for the Luobi people, it is undoubtedly a better thing to replace the food and cloth with silver and gold. The dazzling light of gold and silver flashes in their eyes. There is no doubt that so much gold and silver appeared, the Luobi people also began to become more fanatical.
Unlike the Fengwu Army, which is a professional soldier who is paid as a soldier, the Luobi people are nomadic people. They are organized into tribes and are both soldiers and civilians. They usually graze, hunt and engage in production at home, but when the superiors decide to go to war, they They will prepare their own weapons and armor and go to the front line. Although this organizational model does not have the burden of military pay, it also means that after the Luobi people win the war, they can all get a share of the spoils.
Therefore, when so much gold and silver was placed in front of them, the Luobi people naturally wanted to follow the traditions passed down by their ancestors. Driven by greed, they grabbed a lot of gold and silver and put it in their pockets. , and at this time, internal disputes among the Luobi people arose. Some generals thought that they had contributed greatly in this war, but they had received less gold and silver, and wanted others to spit out some for themselves... ·············
The other party naturally refused to show weakness, saying that he would never spit out a tael of silver. In addition, the nomadic people were martial, and they had conflicts over the competition for water sources and pastures. Now with these gold and silver as the trigger, the two sides started to fight. After a long dispute, the anger grew and the roommates started fighting. In this way, the conflict continued to escalate, forming a large-scale armed fight.
After listening to the soldiers' report, Bujiha didn't hesitate at all, and went directly to suppress it. Now we are in the territory of Dazhou, not on the grassland. The Fengwu Army may appear at any time. Isn't the internal fighting now looking for death?
Just when Bujiha was anxious to solve the internal affairs, on a hillside outside Wangjiaji, more than a dozen red cannons removed their camouflage, revealing their dark muzzles. At the same time, tens of thousands of people from the Third Division The officers and soldiers also arrived at the predetermined location quietly.
Seeing that all arrangements had been completed according to plan, Cui Desheng came to Guo Zhiping and reported:
"Sir, everything is ready! You can fire at any time!"
Guo Zhiping nodded and said:
"let's start!"
"yes!"
As Guo Zhiping's order was issued, the messengers from the headquarters immediately conveyed the order to fire to the artillery position through semaphores. Bujiha, who was unaware of anything at this time, was sending his two generals Grina and Zabu He yelled and yelled at the person next to him.
Bujiha, who has been a general of Luo Bei for many years, has seen this kind of internal fighting caused by uneven distribution of spoils many times, and his solution to this is to have both sides play fifty pieces. After all, Behind these nonsense, many of them are old things from the past, which I can’t understand at all...
Looking at the two tall Luobi men in front of him, Bujiha said with a serious expression:
"Gerzina and Zabu, you two bastards will take 10% less of the spoils of war this time. If something like this happens next time, don't blame me for cutting off your heads!"
After listening to Bujiha's words, both Gezina and Zabu seemed to be a little dissatisfied. Just when the two of them wanted to defend themselves, they suddenly heard a roaring sound coming from outside, and the next second they could only see everything in all directions. They were all explosions caused by falling cannonballs. The Luobi people, who were still chattering about fighting for the spoils, did not expect to be attacked. For a while, there were heavy casualties and wailing everywhere.
Bugiha was lucky. His soldiers were quite loyal. When they saw the bombardment, they immediately protected him with their own bodies. However, his two subordinates, Grina and Zabu, were not so lucky. , Grzyna was killed on the spot, Zabu lost an arm and a thigh, and was wailing in pain on the ground.
Looking at the tragic situation in front of him, Bu Jiha was filled with rage. He understood that everything in front of him was a despicable conspiracy of the Fengwu Army. They had already calculated that they would attack Wangjiaji, and then use the gold and silver to relax himself and others. Be alert, and finally annihilate them on the spot when heavy troops are assembled!
Thinking of this, Bujiha roared loudly:
"Assemble all those who can stand up, the Fengwu Army will rush forward soon..."
On the hillside outside Wangjiaji, he used telescopes to observe the countless explosions taking place in Wangjiaji. Guo Zhiping nodded with satisfaction. What he wanted was the best effect. Ever since he got the news from the Coordination Office, Luo Bei's army might attack Wangjiaji. Later, he personally surveyed the terrain of Wangjiaji, and soon the plan gradually took shape in his mind. For this purpose, he specifically applied to Ye Mingsheng for two hundred thousand taels of silver and hundreds of gold bars.
He used the gold and silver as bait, placed it in Wangjiaji's warehouse, and then buried explosives in a hidden part of the warehouse, waiting for the Luobi people to take the bait. However, things would develop as he imagined. The Luobi people had poor military discipline. , under the temptation of so much gold and silver, he immediately relaxed his alertness and was completely unaware of all the changes around him.
As the bombardment ended in about a cup of tea, Guo Zhiping drew his sword and swung it hard. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Third Division behind him immediately roared and charged towards Wangjiaji. They had only one belief: to annihilate the Luobi people. In Wangjiaji, let the enemies who dare to invade pay the price with blood!
Looking in the direction of Wangjiaji, Lieutenant General Cui Desheng said with some regret:
"That's two hundred thousand taels of silver and more than a hundred gold bars. They all exploded like this!"
Listening to Cui Desheng's emotion, Guo Zhiping smiled and said to Cui Desheng:
"Your structure is too small. After this battle, the Luobei people will not dare to violate the territory again. The new policy reforms implemented by Your Majesty in Youyan will also be without resistance from now on. This is not more valuable than a mere two hundred thousand taels of silver. If you put it Put these ten thousand Luobei cavalry back, they make trouble on the border every year, even if they don't come over, we still have to arrange a large number of troops to garrison, how important is the manpower and material resources involved?"
"Although some of the gold and silver will definitely be lost, since the gold and silver was blown away, we can collect some of it back, but we won't lose too much,"
Cui Desheng nodded and said:
"My lord, what you said is true. I just hope that after this battle, the Luobi people can have a longer memory and keep the border safe for a few years..." "
