The battle to attack Funiu Mountain was simpler and smoother than Luo Zhixue imagined.
After their group arrived at Sanshui Village in Funiu Mountain, they just shot a few waves of arrows at the bandits. After killing six or seven bandits, the bandits collapsed.
What happened next was much simpler. After Sun Chengli commanded his men to pursue and kill more than ten people, some of the remaining thieves had no idea where they had fled, and nearly a hundred others simply knelt and crawled on the ground. Surrender.
This battle lasted only as long as a stick of incense, and most of the time it was actually Sun Chengli and the other cavalry who were searching for the bandits hiding in the village.
During the entire process, Sun Chengli and the others did not suffer any casualties, not even minor injuries.
Luo Zhixue, who was at the rear, witnessed the entire battle, which gave him a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of the rebels in this era.
Not all rebels can be beaten.
On the contrary, there are still a few rebel thieves who can fight, and a very small number at that.
It’s no wonder that Li Tonglin, with a hundred or so rebel cavalry, was able to attract Zuo Liangyu and Chen Zhibang to send elites to encircle and suppress him at the same time, because although Li Tonglin didn’t have many people at the time, they were all elites, and it was not enough to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers. No wonder.
Luo Zhixue once again looked at the cavalry ahead who were still cleaning the battlefield and escorting the surrendered bandits out.
"These cavalry are even rarer and rarer than I expected!"
Luo Zhixue looked at these cavalrymen with a little greed in his eyes!
Yes, it’s greed!
He wanted to get more cavalry like this, and it would be best if he could capture all of these more than sixty elite cavalry.
Luo Zhixue's previous plan was to use Sun Chengli's banner to set up a separate supply camp.
If nothing unexpected happens, the personnel of this transport camp will be recruited from young adults from nearby villages and young refugees, and then they will be trained by themselves.
But, after watching the battle of these cavalrymen crushing young thieves, Luo Zhixue felt that it was unreliable to rely solely on a baggage battalion.
After all, his future supply camp will most likely only be light infantry, and it won't even have much armor.
As for the training methods, he is not a professional military personnel. If he is exhausted, he can only train according to the military training in his previous life, plus some methods he heard from hearsay. Who knows whether these training methods are effective or not suitable for the refugees of this era? army.
When looking at these cavalry, Luo Zhixue couldn't help but imagine that such a group of cavalry mounted their horses and faced off against hundreds of baggage soldiers that he had trained.
What will happen then?
I'm afraid that my future heavy troops will not perform much better than these refugees in front of me!
They may look very impressive when fighting in formation, but there is a high probability that they will be destroyed by a few volleys from these cavalry, let alone resisting the cavalry's rearward charge.
Maybe, in addition to setting up a supply camp, I also have to find a way to get a cavalry.
And the cavalry number 60 or so in front of us is a very suitable target.
It's a pity that these cavalry are like a carrot and a pit, and it is difficult for Luo Zhixue to get involved.
At present, there are a total of seventy-one people in their group. In addition to Luo Zhixue and Lin Yu'er, there are also sixty-nine cavalry. This also includes the big leader Sun Chengli and the three leaders Lin Dongsheng, Wang Dazhuang, and Xu He. .
Among the sixty-nine people, Sun Chengli personally led a pro-army force of twenty people.
Lin Dongsheng, Wang Dazhuang, and Xu He each commanded a left, center, and right army of more than ten people.
The remaining four people belong to Luo Zhixue as personal soldiers.
If Luo Zhixue wants to get more cavalry, he will have to poach people from under the four people in front. This is not an easy task!
Sun Chengli, who was on the side, saw Luo Zhixue's expression slightly wrinkled. He thought he was dissatisfied with the gangsters who had captured so many young women for fun. He immediately said: "Brother Luo, don't take it too seriously. There are too many things like this." go."
Luo Zhixue didn't pay attention to this at first. After hearing Sun Chengcheng's words, he looked forward and saw that his cavalry had found fifty or sixty women from the village. These women were all young. Women, and many of them looked injured or simply tied up.
"It seems that the women and children among the bandits that the sentry heard about are them!" Luo Zhixue just glanced briefly and knew the relationship between the women in front of him and the bandits before.
These women and children are definitely not the family members of those former thieves.
There is a high probability that she was a civilian girl who was robbed by them and went up the mountain to have fun.
Luo Zhixue immediately said: "They are all poor people, and I hope the general will arrange them properly."
Sun Chengli also nodded and said: "These people were robbed by bandits from all over the country, not to mention some of them are from other places, and I'm afraid their family members are already dead."
"Besides, it's noisy outside. Even if we let them go, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive for long."
"But if we keep them, we will still have to leave in the future. We can't take them with us then!"
Luo Zhixue said: "Of course I can't take them with me when I leave in the future!"
When they broke out of the encirclement before and fled for their lives, they even left the young refugees behind. How could they bring some women and children with them? That was an act seeking death.
Luo Zhixue thought for a moment and then said: "General, do you think this is a good idea? Let them decide whether to stay or go. If they want to leave home, give them some rations to let them leave. If they are willing to stay, let them stay temporarily. Get off!"
"Although they are all women, they can still help us with laundry and cooking. In addition, I plan to build a few checkpoints on the main roads outside the valley to guard against enemy attacks. These people can also help to some extent!"
"Besides, I think our Sanshui Village also has a lot of fertile farmland. We can let them farm it later to replenish the army's rations!"
"As for the future, let's talk about it later!"
But don’t think that women in ancient times had their feet bound and were so delicate when they walked that they couldn’t work. This is just about the women of some wealthy families.
The vast majority of rural women have to work every day. Although their work performance is a little worse than that of young adults, no matter how heavy the work is, there is no shortage of work to do.
Sun Lili said: "That's fine. We are new here. We need to renovate the camp later and need some manpower. These women are easier to control than the surrendered bandits."
"As for the future, let's talk about it later. Who knows how long we will stay here!"
Luo Zhixue said: "What the general said is true."
As he said that, Luo Zhixue glanced to the left and saw nearly a hundred people being guarded. The dejected thieves were squatting in the open space outside the village entrance. He immediately said: "General, what should we do with these thieves?" deal with?"
Sun Chengli said: "They are just some stray thieves, just kill them!"
Luo Zhixue said: "It is not a pity to die for these bandits, but most of these people are just young men who were kidnapped. The real bandits may have escaped long ago, and we have to renovate the camp now, so we might as well Leave them some time to work."
They had just come here, and this Sanshui Village was not very safe in Luo Zhixue's opinion. There was not even a slightly formal village wall or the like, and there were no checkpoints set up at critical locations on the periphery. Once an enemy attacked, they could directly Fight to Sanshui Village.
This is a safety hazard.
And since they want to cultivate their health and accumulate strength here, they naturally cannot be defenseless. It is necessary to repair the necessary walls and checkpoints, and this requires manpower.
Now these refugee prisoners of war can just be used to do these jobs.
Sun Chengli said: "That's fine, that's it. I'll get rid of some of the thorns inside first, and Brother Luo, you can just watch and deal with the rest. Anyway, Brother Luo, I have to bother you with repairing these things in the camp behind." "
Luo Zhixue said: "Don't worry, General. Once the arrangements are made, I will lead the camp starting tomorrow!"
After a brief discussion, Sun Chengli and Luo Zhixue went about their business.
Sun Chengli wanted to arrange for manpower to clean up the entire Sanshui Village to avoid any accidents caused by the bandits who were still hiding. He also wanted to arrange sentinels to continue to explore the surrounding situation.
On the other hand, manpower must be arranged to pursue the escaped Dilong and others. According to a simple inquiry of the prisoners, it was learned that during the defeat, Dilong fled westward with a dozen of his henchmen.
Although the earth-turning dragon escaped, in order to prevent these people from returning, or simply bringing other thieves with them, Sun Lili decided to send people to pursue them. It would be best to catch them all and kill them all. .
As for Luo Zhixue, as the military advisor who manages the camp's baggage, he needs to count the captured grain and baggage one by one and put them in the warehouse, and at the same time arrange the camp.
In addition, according to Sun Chengli's instructions, rewards should be given to the soldiers who made meritorious service in this battle, etc.
Also manage the women, children and prisoners of war.
Things are also very big.
After working hard all afternoon, Luo Zhixue finally arranged the camp affairs.
At this time, Sun Lili also found Luo Zhixue: "I have dealt with those bandits, and there are still seventy-three people left. The remaining people should be the refugees who were kidnapped, but I am not sure. Turn around. Brother Luo, please be more careful when using them to avoid capsizing in the gutter!"
Luo Zhixue said: "I understand."
He didn't ask the other thirty people where the thieves went, because he knew without asking that they must have been hacked by Sun Chengli.
That night, Luo Zhixue finally no longer had to live in a temporary tent with Lin Yu'er, but instead lived in a well-preserved thatched wooden house.
Luo Zhixue and Lin Yu'er lived in one house, while the other two houses were used to store food and baggage, etc., and were guarded by four of Luo Zhixue's soldiers in turns.
Speaking of which, this three-room thatched house can also be seen from Luo Zhixue's current status among this group of rebels.
