When more than a dozen people killed the general, Shang Guo's court was furious. This was a vicious incident.
In the eyes of these soldiers, they were just forced to do things. Even if they were forced to this extent, they were just seeking fairness.
But in the eyes of those in power, good guy, do you want to challenge the existing class system? Seeking death is a complete challenge to the entire scholar-bureaucrat class in Shangguo.
Fu Yan immediately sent generals to lead troops to quell the rebellion, because he knew that there were only a dozen people, so the army only had hundreds of people and hundreds of cavalry. If he wanted to kill more than a dozen people, it would be impossible to catch snails with three fingers.
But what they didn't know was that the strong man had a war horse and immediately used simple things to reproduce the unique stirrups of Yuntong County.
He has lived in Yuntong County for two years. There is a big difference between having this thing and not having it. It's just that ordinary people are too lazy to think about these things.
This is also one of the reasons why the cavalry under Wu'an Jun is so powerful.
You know, is this era still dominated by infantry, archers, chariots, and cavalry? Those are just auxiliary soldiers.
After these people mounted their horses with stirrups, they moved very quickly and took their horses to villages and even small towns to meet some of the former Pao Ze who were also in Yuntong.
Not all of these people live a miserable life, it's just that most of them can't stand the gap in life between the two sides. There are also a small group of people who rely on their savings to do some small business and live a comfortable life.
After the strong man told them what had happened, only a few people joined.
But when the news spread that the counter-rebellion army was massacring soldiers returning from Xia Kingdom without restraint, the entire Shang Kingdom was about to explode.
Shangguo itself is the smallest land area among the vassal states in the Central Plains. It is divided into more than 12,000 people, and many people live together.
Coupled with the messages passed by some caring people, these people soon gathered together. There was no way~~~If they didn't gather together, they would be killed.
After everyone was gathered together, the number of the strong man's men immediately increased to five to six thousand.
As the saying goes, the general is the courage of the soldiers, and the soldiers are the power of the general. The more men you have, the more courage you will have.
Fortunately, these people have not lost their humanity and used their savings to buy war horses, bows and arrows, weapons and the like with some common people.
You can only protect yourself if you have something handy.
But this is not the solution. After all, people eat what horses chew every day. The strong man understands that if there is no inflow of funds in another month, these people will probably become bandits.
On this day, the weather was gloomy. After convincing everyone, the strong man took a detour to the vicinity of Fuyan. He planned to send someone to slip into Fuyan City and get in touch with Wang Shushu.
If you can leave, it's best to leave immediately. After all, this is by no means a place to stay for a long time.
But when he came to a remote place, the strong man was shocked.
A total of five thousand troops were waiting for them in formation.
The gloomy sky seemed to indicate the solemn appearance of the God of Death. Neither party spoke because there was no need to speak.
As long as it falls into each other's hands, it will never end well. If you can kill it with a knife, you will be lucky.
The strong man also understood that if he and others were caught, everyone would not end well.
"Everyone, hurry up and retreat to a low-lying area. The chariots and soldiers there can't be used. Let's use bows and arrows to ambush them."
Before the officers and soldiers could launch an attack, the strong man immediately asked everyone to retreat to the terrain standing on his side.
Although they have cavalry, there are not many horses, and the quality of the horses varies.
What's on the other side? All chariots, infantry, archers, frontal hard steel? Save it, it's better to hang yourself faster.
Although there are five or six thousand people here, there are more people than the other party, but in fact, on the plains, the other party only needs to charge, and he waits for others, and he is basically in the cold.
The two charges were directly annihilated by the formation, and there was no place to run.
Regardless of anything else, the strong man led the soldiers in a swift retreat.
Not long after, we came to a low-lying area. This area was not only low-lying, but also had many trees, swamps, and complex terrain.
"Sir, we are probably no match for the opponent's five thousand troops. Besides, is it too late to set up traps or something like that?"
The strong man waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, just make preparations, they won't be able to get through in an hour or two."
"Okay, No!"
When there are more people, there will naturally be a hierarchy, because they were all soldiers in the past, and they would call each other directly by their military titles, but they could still manage to command.
Shangguo officers and soldiers.
"General, why don't we take the opportunity to cover up and kill them before they form a military formation? Wouldn't everything be fine?"
A trace of contempt flashed in the general's eyes. Since ancient times, I have heard of princes treason and scholar-bureaucrats overthrowing vassal states, but I have never heard of soldiers or tenant farmers being able to overthrow a dynasty.
These people are completely ignorant of life and death. Even though they only have 5,000 troops, their strength is not at the same level.
The opponent doesn't even have a few pieces of armor, even though he has cavalry? But the cavalry is not the main combat unit, so pulling up such a team would make him laugh out loud.
"It's okay, just wait. Our military formation cannot be in chaos. If the military formation is in chaos, if they charge back, although they won't hurt many of us, they will scatter our military formation and injure their own people. Our own people.”
"We will advance directly and steadily. They don't have many cavalry, so they can't go anywhere. We have all the food and fodder ready, and we can wear them to death even if we use them up."
The general has strong self-confidence. He has fought with Xia Guo several times before, and he has been able to take advantage every time.
Several years have passed since the last war with Xia Kingdom, and the prestige accumulated at that time has been almost exhausted.
That's why I took on this mission this time, so that Fu Yan and the new king in the future could see that although he was not young, he was still a fierce general.
Not only him, but almost all the generals present did not take this group of rebels seriously. Their weapons were fully equipped, and they were mostly made of leather armor.
There are some bows and arrows, which look like hunting bows from a distance, and there are no heavy crossbows. This is a rare crushing battle, much easier to fight than Xia Kingdom.
I don't know if it was the general's temper that caused the scouts to react, but they just ran around and returned hastily.
The rebels who were hiding from the scouts came out of the woods one after another. They were all from the army, so they naturally had their own scouts.
After the enemy scouts returned, everyone began to work overtime again. The gap in combat effectiveness between the two groups was at least a large canyon apart. The only way to make up for it was to try to make up for it and pray for the blessings of God and ancestors.
It didn't take long for the opponent's military formation to crush them, and a large number of ferocious chariots also appeared at the edge.
Don't think that chariots can only crash on the plains. They are also good at going downhill. It's just that when the slope is too steep, some chariots will fly out directly.
Having learned from the past, everyone got out of the car and started running down.
Before the military formation could be set up, the opponent started shooting arrows.
"Swish swish~~~~!"
The bows and arrows were sparse, but they hit a few people. Unfortunately, the power of the bows and arrows was too small, and it was not enough to cause fatal damage to the soldiers wearing armor hundreds of meters away.
But this annoyed the regular army. The depression was very large, but there was a lot of water, making it difficult to march.
"Everyone, shoot an arrow for me and kill these idiots."
The regular army began to fight back, with bows, arrows, and heavy crossbows. Suddenly, the rebels suffered casualties.
If the rebels' long-range strike capability is 100, the regular army's is at least 2,000, which is not of the same magnitude at all.
After leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the rebels began to retreat.
The general rode on his war horse, drew his sword, and roared.
"The cavalry is in the vanguard, the crossbowmen are in the center and are on the side, and I will kill the others!!!"
"kill!"
Just after they entered a wet land, the situation took a turn for the worse.
“Whoosh whoosh!!!!”
"Pfft!"
"Bata!"
"Ah, my feet!"
"You bastard, these thieves have actually set up a trap. Brothers, rush with me and kill them all!"
The regular army set out their traps as soon as they entered the swamp, and started designing some small crossbows. There were simple traps everywhere under the mud.
Often when walking into a place, the soles of the feet will be pierced by something sharp or something similar to a clamp, causing injuries on both sides of the soles of the feet.
Although these are small gadgets that cannot kill people, once their feet bleed, these soldiers will be temporarily disabled.
It also affects the opponent's military morale to a certain extent.
It may be that during this period, it didn't rain much, although there were swamps that regular troops could step on.
The strong man in the forest had an anxious face, his hands clenched into fists, and his face turned pale.
You must know that his final move is the swamp. Not to mention killing five thousand soldiers, but it is also a good thing to leave hundreds of people behind. Once the opponent is scared to death, he and others can run away!
But contrary to expectations, not many people sank at all, and even the cavalry could come over!
The rebels next to them have completely lost their military morale. Come on, five thousand fully armed troops are not comparable to them who don't have all the weapons and equipment.
Once a close encounter occurs, it will be a massacre.
"Heavy crossbowmen, aim upward at 45°!"
"Archers, aim at the front cavalry!"
"Everyone, attack me!"
"promise!"
"Whoosh whoosh!!!!"
At this time, the sky suddenly darkened, and thousands of arrows poured down like a downpour.
"ah!!!"
"I was hit by an arrow."
"This, this time the heavy crossbow, they have the heavy crossbow, we fell into the trap!"
Originally it was only slightly damaged, but when a wave of arrows rained down, hundreds of lives were taken away.
The general was dumbfounded. At this time, the loss had reached almost 500 people. No more people could be killed. If more people were killed, the morale of the army would inevitably collapse, and they would inevitably flee.
"Wind up~~~Cum!"
The yaksha-like voice just now sounded again.
