Chapter 156 God Blocks Killing God, Devil Blocks Killing Devil
In the next battle in Tongzhou City, the Xujiazhuang Muscle Corps achieved its first victory.
After the formation, 4,800 golden cavalrymen were killed, more than a hundred were captured, and more than 3,000 horses were captured. Only a few dozen of them escaped by chance.
The Muscle Corps suffered zero casualties.
That's right! Not a single casualty was lost in battle. Only dozens of people suffered from fatigue, muscle strains, sprains, etc. They could recover after two days of rest and could not be counted as casualties.
This result made Shi Yong quite satisfied. Although the battle ended a bit quickly and the number of enemies was a bit small, many muscular men felt that it was not enough, and they complained that they did not kill enough and did not enjoy enough.
Yang Yan and other Tongzhou locals who had been watching the battle on the city wall were all stunned, staring at what was happening in front of them.
He even rubbed his eyes vigorously, suspecting that it was an illusion.
what happened?
What exactly did they see?
They admit that the Xu Jiajun is powerful, but the Jiannu slaves in Liaodong are even more terrifying. Facing them, the Ming army has not defeated them in a single battle so far. Their claim to be "invincible" is not just a boast, but is supported by real battle cases.
.
Faced with such an army, Xu Jiajun's wisest approach is not to confront them head-on for the time being. He should first defend on the city wall and find a way to feel the strength of the Hou Jin army. After he knows himself and the enemy and has a certain degree of confidence, he can go out to fight.
Later, instead of using infantry to challenge the rear Jin cavalry, they only relied on a few thin barbed wire fences to block them. This was a risky and fatal move, which was ignorant and arrogant.
I'm afraid that the Houjin Cavalry will soon teach Xu Jiajun a lesson and prove that they are not the Modao Team of the Tang Dynasty.
As a result, there was a burst of banging, banging, and slashing, and then it was garbage time to chase down the defeated troops.
In less than half an hour, a total of five thousand Houjin Cavalry were basically wiped out. There were countless broken limbs and arms on the scene. The smell of blood was disgusting. The muscular men covered in flesh and blood,
Like a demon god, it shocked the hearts of countless soldiers and civilians in Tongzhou, and left an unforgettable scene in their minds.
Then the whole city burst into cheers:
"Xu Jiajun won, Xu Jiajun won!"
"A complete victory. The Xu family's army achieved a complete victory. All five thousand Tatars were killed, and not a single one of the Xu's army was killed."
"Strong, too strong. The Tatars are no match at all. The Xu family's army is number one in the world!"
"This is the real strong army! These city defenders we raised are all useless. They don't even have the guts to go out of the city and fight the Tatars. They will just eat and wait to die."
"I want to join the Xu Family Army. This is an army worth joining. Not only must you dare to fight, but you must also be able to win the war! You must be brave and capable. You can easily defeat the cavalry with infantry. No matter where you are, you must dare to go head-to-head with the Tatars.
!”
Yang Yan heard a young man say this with his own ears. In normal times, he might have scolded this young man, or directly dragged him into the Tongzhou Army, but now, he could not say any rebuttal.
The three thousand muscular men of the Xu family army who went out to fight in the city captured the prisoners and war horses, handed them over to the Xujiazhuang caravan personnel, and then returned to Tongzhou City to rest.
Then he was immediately warmly received by the soldiers and civilians of Tongzhou.
Someone helped them take off their plate armor and scrub it.
Someone brought a hot meal for them to enjoy.
There are also parents who send their young sons and ask if they can join the Xu family army as soldiers?
There are also elders who send young and beautiful daughters, saying that they will serve the military master and if they can be adopted as concubines, it will be a blessing for them - you must know that if they face other Ming armies, these young and beautiful girls are all
The most hidden type of people are the ones who are most difficult to find. Today, when facing Xu Jiajun, the parents of these young girls took the initiative to give away their daughters. No one around them thought it was inappropriate, but everyone thought it was a wise investment.
The local Tongzhou Army defenders were so jealous that their eyes were red, but they did not dare to make any sarcastic remarks.
Because this is how the strong are treated!
This is the treatment a victorious army should enjoy!
Of course, Xu Jiajun is a disciplined team. Faced with temptation, most of the muscular men refused:
"Go away, go away, I already have a wife, don't come any closer."
Zhang Hu pushed away several local girls who took the initiative to lean on him and refused rather rudely.
"Master Jun, I am the best at serving people, please accept me~"
"Master Jun, you can let me stay with you as a maid."
"Have mercy on me, Master. I don't want to be sold to a brothel by my parents. I just want to have food to eat." The girl begged with tears in her eyes, playing the bitter card, which made everyone who heard her cry with sadness.
Zhang Hu remained unmoved and refused all temptations with a heart as solid as stone. After all, he already had a happy family and did not want to add unnecessary variables. There are so many miserable people in the world. No matter how kind-hearted you are, no matter how rich your family is,
, can't help, unless you use the knife in your hand to kill enough bad guys and create a peaceful and peaceful environment, then everyone's life will be improved.
This is also the reason and purpose for him to raise the butcher's knife and show no mercy to the Tatars.
…
The next day, Xujiazhuang's Muscle Legion, all 8,000 muscular men, left Tongzhou City and continued to sweep away the surrounding Houjin Tartars.
In order to improve the efficiency of killing enemies, they took the initiative to divide the troops into four teams. Each team has 2,000 muscular men. They keep a close distance from each other and communicate through radio stations. If they encounter an opponent that is difficult to defeat, they will quickly join forces.
But in fact!
In the process of mopping up the surrounding Tartars, the muscular men mostly encountered small groups of enemies, with as few as thirty or fifty people, as many as only two or three hundred people, and at most only more than a thousand people. In terms of number, they were also muscled men.
Dominate.
In addition, in order to improve their mobility, the muscular men did not carry much rations and baggage, and the idea of fighting was actually to support war with war.
Those who only relied on war to support war became the army of the Later Jin Dynasty.
This time the muscular men became the hunters, and the Hou Jin army became the prey.
So in this battle between hunter and prey, how do the muscular men perform?
easy.
Zhang Fugui, who also successfully joined the Muscle Corps, personally feels very relaxed.
Take the first day of mopping up operations as an example.
Zhang Fugui's Third Muscle Brigade encountered four groups of enemies in total.
The first group of only fifty-three Tartars was massacring a village. The muscular men blocked the entrance and exit of the village. Ignoring the threats of the Tartars to take the people as hostages, they went straight in and quickly killed the fifty-three Tartars.
Cut a tartar into minced meat.
At noon, more than 300 Mongolian cavalry were found cooking and venting their desires on hundreds of captured Han women. Zhang Fugui and others immediately killed them and killed every one of these Mongolian cavalry.
In the afternoon, they encountered more than a hundred Jianzhou True Tartars. The two sides engaged in a head-on battle. The result was clear at a glance. All these True Tartars were killed.
In the evening, a logistics camp of the Hou Jin Army was discovered. There were more than 5,000 young and strong Han prisoners (mostly women), more than 3,000 cattle and horses, and hundreds of thousands of stones of food and other supplies. However, there were only 1,000
Many Jianzhou Zhentar and more than a thousand Mongolian soldiers joined the Han army to garrison, with a total force of more than 2,000.
The Third Muscle Brigade decisively launched an attack, but there was a hail of arrows in the camp, and there were many sharp archers, eagle shooters, and gunners who had joined the Han army. Once they opened fire at the same time, they would wear full-body plate armor and anti-stab suits.
Strong muscular men may not be able to resist effectively.
But the biggest threat is always the Jiannu archer. His archery is not only accurate, but also uses a crescent shovel with heavy arrows. The threat is huge at close range. Two muscular men were shot because they rushed too far forward.
At the gap between the eyes, one person was shot blind, and another was shot in the face and had to retreat.
The disadvantage of the Muscle Legion was immediately exposed, that is, its ability to attack difficult situations was slightly insufficient.
However, the camp was quickly captured by the Third Muscle Brigade, and the more than 2,000 defenders inside were wiped out at the cost of thirteen people being injured.
Because they also have high-explosive grenades!
Just bundle more than fifty grenades together, throw them at the camp gate and detonate them together. With a loud bang, the gate will be blown up to the sky.
Regarding the sharp archers and eagle shooters in the camp, Zhang Fugui came up with a brilliant idea, which was to first keep a distance of more than 30 meters from those sharp archers to reduce the armor-piercing effect of the arrows.
Ability and precision.
Once he finds an archer attacking and locks his position, Zhang Fugui will throw a grenade at him as long as he is within a distance of more than thirty meters.
…
Lai Mubu was the left-behind general in the logistics camp. He was also a very famous heavy arrow archer in the Hou Jin army.
There were not thousands but hundreds of Ming army generals who were shot by him. For example, the famous general Du Song in the Battle of Sarhu died under his arrows, and the Mongolian eagle shooter on the grassland was also killed.
Impressed by his archery skills, he was willing to follow him and serve him.
They just didn't expect that they, who were staying safely in the camp, would be attacked by a strange army today.
powerful.
Judging from the attacker's equipment, physique and fierce fighting style, this is a strong army, a powerful opponent that has never been encountered before.
Lai Mubu felt something was wrong, but more importantly, he was excited and had a strong will to fight. He liked to fight against the strong, and he liked to shoot the strong. Only in this way could he bring a huge sense of accomplishment and prove his own strength.
powerful!
Draw a bow and set an arrow.
He drew the ten-stone heavy bow to a state that was more than half full, aimed at the opponent wrapped in an iron can, and fired the crescent shovel heavy arrow.
Ding!
The heavy arrow hit the chest of the plate armor, but was bounced to the side, unable to break through the defense.
Lai Mubu was startled and shot three more arrows in succession.
Ding ding ding!
Even if it hits the same area, it still cannot break through the defense.
"What kind of armor is this and why is it so hard?"
There was no other way. Lai Mubu could only look for the gap on the face of the armor. Finally, under the darker sky, he shot a heavy arrow that miraculously penetrated the gap as thick as his little finger and hit the opponent's head.
Eye.
But because the gap is too small, the heavy arrow loses most of its kinetic energy, so it only blinds the eye and cannot kill.
At this time, Lai Mubu was very tired and had consumed a lot of physical energy. However, facing the opponent who was about to launch a new wave of attacks, he ignored the soreness in his arm muscles, stretched his bow and nocked an arrow again, and shot the heavy arrow.
Ding!
The light was dim, and this time he failed to hit the gap in the armor's face.
"Why!"
Lai Mubu sighed regretfully.
suddenly~
An iron lump shaped like a stick was thrown about three meters away from him, white smoke sizzling out.
"Haha, this is their sharpshooter. Want to kill me with something like this? But..."
Before the word "ridiculous" could be said, the wooden-handled grenade exploded, instantly producing hundreds of large and small fragments, sputtering in all directions at a speed of more than 100 meters per second. Among them were several fragments, which hit those who did not lie down.
Lai Mubu got into his body, rolling and destroying...
Puff~
Blood gushed out of his body like a sieve, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. He did not expect that his life with arrows would end in an iron knot instead of being killed by an arrow.
…
Zhang Fugui, who was very accurate in throwing grenades, defeated many archers, eagle shooters and fire gunners by throwing grenades, clearing many obstacles for the 3rd Muscle Brigade to break through the camp and reducing the number of enemies.
reduce one's own casualties.
…
September 26th.
In the past three days alone, the Xujiazhuang Muscle Corps launched a mopping-up operation that had annihilated dozens of Houjin troops, breached more than a dozen logistics camps, and killed at least 20,000 Houjin Tatars.
Kill the demon! Leave almost no one alive.
In addition, tens of thousands of young men and women, and tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, and pigs were rescued, and even more innumerable grain, gold, and silver property were seized.
Not good.
At this time, the senior officials of Houjin Army finally realized that something was wrong! It was finally confirmed that there was a powerful and strange army in silver armor, which was preying on them and launched a crazy attack, which had caused them an extremely huge damage that could not be ignored.
The loss is not as simple as being bitten by a mosquito, but a large piece of flesh and blood is torn off by a large mouth, which is equivalent to one-tenth of all flesh and blood!
They had to adjust their strategy, temporarily give up their looting operations, and call together all the scattered Eight Banners soldiers and horses to prioritize how to deal with that powerful and weird silver-armored army.
