The same surname is Chu, father and son from the same family, the gap is not too big.
Xiao Chu fought with recklessness, luck, and weapons and equipment. After such a long time since his debut, a regular battle was fought in a serious formation, just once, a night attack on the first day of the year.
When Lao Chu fought, he relied on recklessness, secondly, and thirdly, he was really reckless.
Old Chu's recklessness was based on strategies. Chu Wensheng's strategies could be described as the eighty-year-old Secretary of State wearing a bra, one after another.
At Beibianguan, Xunyang Road, Anzhou City, 15,000 border troops surrounded nearly 40,000 Liangrong rangers in the city.
Qin Lie was riding on a war horse, his bright red cloak rustling.
Hanging out with Chu Wensheng is just exciting.
Fifteen thousand people besieged the city, and 40,000 people were besieged. No one with a brain would do such a thing.
But Qin Lie did it anyway, and he did it very well.
Because the Liangrong rangers in Anzhou City were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.
This is also one of Chu Wensheng's tactics.
He surrounded the city one by one. There were 20,000 people in this city, so he sent 40,000 people to surround it. After the few grains in the city were eaten up and the Liang people began to starve, until they had no fighting power at all, the four Withdraw half or more than half of the 10,000 people and move on to the next house, leaving only 10,000 people to continue to surround them. That is enough.
The nomads who were about to fight had to go to the hilly areas to capture the city, but they also had to defend the city. How could they not be surrounded by a city with no food or even water sources? If they came out, they would kill each one.
Originally they had food and grass, but they were robbed. The Rangers' forward troops were very happy. They occupied the city in front and could capture one in two or three days. After rushing in, the unfortunate family who defended the city slaughtered them all, and the old mother. Like a chicken laying eggs, they would lay eggs after walking for a while. If they occupied one area, they would drop some troops to defend it. The deeper they fought, the farther they occupied, and the Liangrong army's front line and supply line became longer and longer.
As everyone knows, all of this happened to fall into Lao Chu's trap.
When all the Liang Rong troops entered the pass, Lao Chu began to play tricks. He first cut off supplies from the rear, and then closed the door and beat the dogs.
The thieves in Anzhou City knew that they had fallen into a trap and wanted to break out. Unfortunately, this kind of behavior was to risk death. To break out of the encirclement was just like a fly with a feather on its head. What a bird.
Outside the pass, I dare not say it on the endless grassland, but inside the pass, especially in the terrain of Anzhou City, the war horses cannot escape at all. And this is the home ground of the frontier infantry. There are six camps of the frontier army, four of which are large. The battalions have all changed their equipment, and the archers are all using divine arm crossbows. The city gate is so big that even twenty knights cannot run out side by side. Most of the Liangrong rangers have been hungry for several days, so how can they fight.
In addition, Chu Wensheng's arrangement was to cover the area with points. The major battalions did not fight together, but they were very close. Once there was a loss in one place, they could quickly support them, look at each other from head to tail, and fight steadily.
The Liangrong Rangers are just the opposite. Let alone him, his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather didn't even attack the pass, let alone capture the city. They thought that occupying a city would give Liangrong an extra piece of land, even if they couldn't see it. The common people also let the joy of victory go to their heads one by one. They were more idiots than Chu Wensheng thought.
Qin Lie kept in mind Chu Wensheng's instructions: If he doesn't attack the city, he will trap it. If he comes out, he will kill him. If he doesn't come out, he will wait.
"Hahahaha, it feels good, it feels so good." Qin Liezhi, who was riding on the horse, said with great satisfaction, "Fighting with Shi Bo, just one word, it feels so damn good!"
The same situation also occurs in different places.
Xu Tianchen, who was only twenty-six years old, led an army of 30,000 people, including 10,000 old soldiers, 8,000 new soldiers, and 12,000 government soldiers, and surrounded Jiangcheng.
Inside the military tent, Xu Tianchen propped his head and smiled.
"For my great contribution this time, the imperial court will give me a promotion to the fifth rank."
Mu Hua looked a little absent-minded, and said with a forced smile: "Don't forget that you were promoted by Mr. Chu to become an official and a general. Whether you are a member of the imperial court or the emperor, how could you be awarded only a mere fifth rank? It is not impossible to be from the fourth rank. If you are lucky and capture some noble leaders in Jiangcheng, even the fourth rank can do it."
"That's right." Xu Tianchen was even more proud: "I am following the Chu family and his son. Hahaha, if this is true, maybe I, Xu Tianchen, will become the youngest fourth-grade grandmaster since the founding of the Dachang Dynasty. General."
After being silly for a while, Xu Tianchen noticed something was wrong with Mu Hua's expression, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Why do I always see you depressed since I came back from the fight?"
Mu Hua sighed, and after being silent for a long time, her tone was full of sadness: "Master Chu came to the grassland last year, causing our tribe in the grassland to have endless civil strife. After Master Chu left, General Chu came again, and our tribe in the grassland... There is no hope of recovery.”
When the young ones come, there will be civil strife, and when the old ones come, they are basically only one step away from national subjugation and extinction.
Xu Tianchen opened his mouth, not knowing how to comfort Mu Hua for a moment. After all, they were not from the same clan. Mu Hua hated the Golden Wolf King, not her clansmen.
Everything went as Chu Wensheng expected. When Liang Rong heard that Chu Wensheng had rebelled, he immediately came over to take advantage. Then he entered the pass stupidly. The battle line was stretched and the supply line was also stretched. He thought it was a fisherman's gain. Little did he know that I was asking you to enter the urn, kill the scapegoat family members who were guarding the city, and then occupy the city, and then, within two days of being happy, they started to be surrounded.
Seventy-eight out of ten of the rangers that the Golden Wolf King could mobilize had entered the customs. The remaining ones were those escorting grain and grass. They had been stopped and strangled outside the customs. The rangers who had entered the customs were trapped and died in various cities. Surrender is a matter of time.
Once this battle is over, Liang Rong will be completely boneless.
When all the dust settles, just as Mu Hua said, Liangrong is completely finished, and the grassland will be the pasture of Dachang Dynasty, and everyone can take it.
"Mr. Xu." Mu Hua stepped forward and hugged Xu Tianchen's neck, with a bit of pleading on her face: "After this battle, General Chu will be the commander-in-chief of the border. At that time, can you beg for mercy from General Chu? , leave more bones and blood for our clan, and don’t kill innocent people indiscriminately. Those old and weak, women, and children, can you let them go?"
Xu Tianchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Who do you think General Chu is? Don't worry, General Chu is not killing innocent people indiscriminately."
Mu Hua hesitated for a moment, there were some words that she couldn't say.
Xu Tianchen comforted him: "You don't know General Chu, don't you know Master Chu? You have been together for so long, but you still can't tell that he is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, and he is very kind and soft-hearted. Master Chu was raised by General Chu." Yes, what is your son like, what is your father like, as long as you are not riding on a war horse and facing my Dachang army with swords, General Chu will definitely not kill them all."
Mu Hua sighed silently.
As for looking at people, she felt that Xu Tianchen had never spotted them correctly.
Not to mention, Mu Hua's way of looking at people is that the player who won the first place in darts in Xiaoli was extremely accurate.
At this time, on the border city wall, Lao Chu was squatting on the ground, looking at the two copper coins with a look of hesitation on his face.
Niu Ren squatted beside him and looked at Lao Chu carefully.
Lao Niu had just finished off the last Liangrong team transporting grain and grass outside the pass. He charged too hard and was stabbed in the arm. It was not a big deal.
The grasslands outside the pass and the Xunyang Road inside the pass were all in flames of war, but Chu Wensheng did not surround any city and did not swing a single sword.
Go for a walk outside the grassland to see the snow scene. After the Liang Rong troops enter the pass, he gives the order to cut off the Liang Rong army. Then he takes back the city gate, closes the gate and beats the dogs. After taking Wangyuan City and other city gates back, Lao Chu has had enough of the snow scene. I came back and didn’t go anywhere. I slept on the city wall all day long.
In Lao Chu's words, he had been leading troops for so many years and had never fought such a rich battle. There were so many people fighting in battle to kill the enemy. It was so stupid that he could just use his words.
"This copper coin..." Lao Chu said hesitantly: "It means that after the weather warms up, the army will come out and sweep across the grassland, killing everyone on sight, regardless of the old, weak, women and children."
Niu Ren swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Lao Chu pointed to another copper coin: "This one means leaving some bones and blood for Liang Rong and letting the old, weak, women and children go."
Niu Ren tremblingly grabbed two copper coins and exchanged them in his palms, his heart in his throat.
Because now the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Liangrong on the grassland are in his hands.
"If I wasn't afraid that Qing'er would get a bad name, I wouldn't have worried about it for so long. Why, Qing'er has a good reputation. If he has a murderous father, others will laugh at him."
Niu Ren glanced at Chu Wensheng with a complicated expression.
Brother, do you have any fundamental misunderstanding about your son's reputation?
Chu Wensheng, who was cursing, said angrily: "Open the left one in your hand and see if Liang Rong is dead or alive."
Niu Ren spread his palms, and Chu Wensheng stood up. Gu Ying felt sorry for himself: "From now on, you can call me the Living Bodhisattva. Hey, who told me that Chu Wensheng has been so kind-hearted since I was a child? I'm just lucky. "
Staring at the copper coin in his hand, Niu Ren felt that all the Liang people on the grassland should set up a memorial tablet for him. It was he who saved the lives of at least hundreds of thousands of people in Liang Rong from the hands of the Demon King of Chu.
