Chapter 61 This is war
…
Seeing Suo Chao's head in front of him, Cai still didn't know what it felt like.
Suo Chao has always been a Liangshan hero that Cai still likes more.
After coming to this world, Cai still fantasized about the scene when he met Suo Chao.
However, Cai Shen never expected that the first time he met Suo Chao, he saw Suo Chao's head, and Suo Chao's head was cut off by his confidant.
This made Cai still very tired!
However, this is war, a real war, it will not be able to survive just because you like someone.
"Maybe one day, Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, Wang Sheng, Zhang Xiao, Wang De and even my own head may not be cut off."
Thinking of this, Cai still waved his hand and asked someone to take Suo Chao's head down and put it away, preparing to use it to seek merit.
After calming down his mind, Cai still asked: "How many people have you lost?"
Zhang Xianxian said: "This battle is dominated by horse capital. We all followed behind and killed some bandits who refused to surrender, so we did not die, only two minor injuries."
Wang De then said: "The enemy is just a group of farmers who have not experienced much training. We attacked the unprepared ambush again by surprise. We naturally won easily. However, because our horses were not trained enough, six idiots fell off the horses themselves and suffered from falls and tramplings of varying degrees. In addition, sixteen horses were also lost. The seized bad horses can barely make up for the losses of our horses..."
This is also one of the reasons why Cai is still unwilling to develop the horse army. Good cavalry is too difficult to train, and at present, Cai can only recruit soldiers in the Central Plains and cannot recruit soldiers who are good at cavalrying in Yanyun or the northwest.
After listening to Zhang Xian and Wang De's report, Cai still said: "In addition to this ambush, we have fought two battles with the Song Jiang bandit army, one attack and one ambush, and our Jinwu army will all wipe out the rebels."
Seeing that many people showed joy and even pride on their faces, Cai still changed his tone and said, "Although we have won all these two battles, the rebels do not look like strong soldiers, I advise everyone not to take it lightly. You must know that we will not have the chance to attack more or sneak attacks next time, but to confront the rebels' army upright. We may face five times our enemies, or twenty times our enemies."
Speaking of this, Cai Shen's tone began to become heavy, and he continued, "I will not lie to you. Many of you may die in the next battle. If anyone of you is afraid, I will allow you to take off your military uniform and leave, and I guarantee that you will not be investigated. It's just that there is one thing. After you leave, you will never be allowed to be my Jinwu Army."
In the Jinwu Army, I won’t say that everything is best for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Cai still gave the soldiers of the Jinwu Army that they didn’t understand before. In the Jinwu Army, as long as they follow orders and practice hard, they will be respected by others. No one will see what you are from, whether you are a prominent family, and whether you have read books and read.
Moreover, their general Cai Jian would teach them to read and give them the opportunity to change their destiny.
Even many soldiers of the Jinwu Army felt that they had truly become one person after they arrived at the Jinwu Army, rather than the walking corpse before.
Let’s put it this way, the Jinwu Army makes the soldiers of the Jinwu Army feel a sense of belonging.
This is not the idea of one or two people, but the idea of the general idea of the soldiers of the Jinwu Army.
Therefore, how could they be willing to let the soldiers of the Jinwu Army leave the Jinwu Army that they regard as their family?
Therefore, as soon as Cai Jian finished speaking, Wang Sheng said, "I am willing to die for the general!"
"I wish to die for the general!"
"I wish to die for the general!"
“…”
The next morning.
Tabai, whom Cai Jian sent out, came back to report to Cai Jian: The large army of Song Jiang's rebel army is less than ten miles away from Jishan Village. The vanguard alone has one army (two five to three thousand men), and has excellent weapons, and even a horse army.
Cai still knew that the real battle was coming.
really!
Not long after the vanguard of Song Jiang's rebel army arrived, they began to organize the attack on Jishanzhai.
It is not difficult to see how anxious the Song Jiang rebel army is to pass Jishan.
Before this, the soldiers of the Jinwu Army, including Cai Gan, did not respect the combat power of the Song Jiang Yijun.
But this time, Song Jiang's army let Cai Jian and others know why they were able to capture more than a dozen cities in a row, and to fight several ways, leaving a breakthrough in history.
The Song Jiang Rebel Army, the leader of the Song Jiang Rebel Army who commanded this battle, was very good at using terrain to attack. Under his command, they used terrain, rolled or crawled, and slowly advanced to a place seventy or eighty meters away from Jishan Village, and then launched an attack.
Song Jiang's rebel army was very good at using crossbows to suppress them, and they also had two catapults and at least ten bed crossbows.
This caused the Song Jiang Yijun to suppress the Jinwu Army's weapons.
Fortunately, Song Jiang's rebel army was not trained enough, so he was not accurate.
Otherwise, this battle will definitely be more difficult to fight.
The soldiers of the Jinwu Army are essentially new recruits.
In the first two battles, the Jinwu army fought with the best battles. Before they could feel the fear, the battle was over.
Now that the stalemate is in progress, many soldiers of the Jinwu Army are in a panic. The crossbow arrows are not as accurate as before, and after someone around them is caught, they will have a slight commotion.
Seeing this, Cai still asked the capital to gather the people who were shot with the arrows in them, and then handed them over to Niu Gao, who was personally directed by Cai Shen.
After the enemy rushed forward, Cai still commanded these sharpshooters to shoot the leaders and the most fierce bandits.
In this way, the attack of Song Jiang's rebel army could not help but stagnate.
This undoubtedly stabilized the morale of the Jinwu Army.
Song Jiang's righteous army tried to rush again.
As a result, Erdu and Sidu, led by Cai Shen, were resolutely repelled.
Cai Shen asked Niu Gao and Zhang Xiao to count the casualties, and then learned that this feint attack alone caused 17 people to be killed and injured.
Cai still felt blood in his heart. These are the seeds he cultivated carefully. Most of them will become officers in the future. They are the hopes of the Han people!
But Cai still knew clearly that they could not grow into qualified officers without the baptism of this blood, nor could they become the hope of the Han people.
Therefore, Cai still tried not to think about casualties, but just wanted to win this battle.
After Song Jiang's rebel army retreated, Cai still went to the left side of Zhang Xian and Yidu.
After personally checking the fortifications on the left, Cai still instructed Zhang Xian: "You should pay attention to the flanks. The rebels on the opposite side are much more powerful than we thought before, and there must be a commander on the opposite side who understands the soldiers. Therefore, if the front is not good, they will definitely go to the flanks and backing the mountain. Wang Sheng can also provide cover. The failure to attack on the mountain just now means that Wang Sheng is still calm and does a good job. If the mountain on your side cannot be used, you will also provide cover for the rebels. Therefore, you should be careful that the rebels may come along the mountainside. Don't think that there is time to arrange the open space. The battle is fierce and you can't take care of it."
Cai still explained again: "And you must be mindful of the other party's crossbow..."
Speaking of bed crossbows, Cai still hates this. It would be fine if the imperial guards threw the city away, but why did Song Jiang and his gang seize the bed crossbows?
But the Jinwu Army marched in a hurry and did not bring heavy weapons like crossbows.
There were originally four crossbows in Jishan Village, but because they were disrepaired and no one was in good condition, all of these four crossbows could not be used.
The two were discussing, "?!", "swish!", "swish!" Suddenly, more than ten iron spears shot up!
Cai Shen's senses were too sharp. At the first moment, he judged that it was a crossbow, and he judged that one of them should be shot at them.
Cai Shen kicked Zhang Xian away with one kick, and then shot to the corner of the wall to avoid it!
"Puchi!"
“Buzz buzz…”
An iron spear hits the place where Cai and Zhang Xian were standing!
The battle started again, and Song Jiang's rebel army, as Cai Shan had guessed before, turned around from the left, and then suddenly launched an attack through the obstruction of the rock wall.
Zhang Xian quickly got up and immediately organized defense.
This time, Song Jiang's rebel army seemed to have moved seriously.
All the people who rushed up were extremely fierce and fearless, especially the two leading ones.
One of the two men was black and strong like a black bear. The two axes in his hand danced like a whirlwind. Most of the sharp arrows shot by the Jinwu army were blocked by the two axes in his hand. Occasionally, one or two could hit him, but he was seriously injured because his armor was good.
The other man had a long upper body and short lower body, which looked a bit funny, but his skills were not funny at all. He was as quick as a rabbit. The dense arrows of the Jinwu Army could not even hit him with one arrow. He held two ring-headed swords in his hand, and screamed while rushing!
Under the leadership of these two people, Song Jiang's rebel army rushed up!
At the same time, the sound of Song Jiang's rebel army rushing out from the front and right sides.
Seeing this, Cai still rushed to Zhang Xian and said, "You lead the first bet here to defend, and the second bet goes with me and prepare to fight back."
Zhang Xian stopped Cai Jian and said, "General, let me lead someone to fight back!"
Cai still didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "Abide by the order!"
Seeing that Cai Jian could not stop him, Zhang Xian quickly asked his deputy head to Yuzheng: "Lao Yu, you must take good care of the general. If you dare to let the general suffer any injury, I will take your life!"
Yu Zheng said: "Don't worry, if the general is injured, I will definitely come to see you!"
Cai still ignored Zhang Xian and Yu Zheng at all, and directly took Er to take him down the village wall.
Seeing this, Yuzheng quickly followed.
Cai Jian and others had just prepared in front of the side door, and two or three hundred Song Jiang's rebels appeared behind the rock wall.
In this way, the situation has been clear, and the left side is the direction of the enemy's main attack.
Led by the strong black man and the short-legged man, the vanguard of the Song Jiang army quickly rushed to the village and could immediately climb up the village wall along the pedal arrow shot from the crossbow.
Cai still found the right time and ordered decisively: "Open the door!"
"Crack!"
The four sides are open wide.
Cai still said again: "Blow the charge horn and follow me!"
"Ka ticking!"
Accompanied by the loud charge, Cai Shen personally led the second-hand soldiers to rush out!
Cai still doesn't want to fight head-on with the enemy from the bottom of his heart, because the enemy is at least ten times that of his own. If he fights head-on, his own side will definitely suffer great casualties.
However--
At this time, it is no longer time to feel distressed and fear of death!
If you don’t fight hard, you may die!
So, Cai still rushed out with the overlord gun...
Chapter completed!
