Chapter 27 The Second Military Conference
"Your leader Anton is dead!! Surrender quickly!!" Alan raised the spear in his hand, with a human head on it, and blood dripped from the head at the tip of the spear. The head's eyes were wide open, and there was still a touch of surprise and fear in the eyes.
The elite guards around Anton were also killed by the cavalry behind Alan. Seeing that Alan had successfully cut off the head of the enemy leader, the cavalry shouted in unison: "Your leader Anton has died!" Die!! Surrender quickly!!"
Hundreds of cavalry roared in unison, the sound was so loud that the whole valley trembled. Immediately afterwards, the rest of the infantry and archers who heard the news also shouted: "The leader Anton is dead!!"
On the mountainside, Deng Jiaer, who was following Su Cheng, saw Alan successfully beheading the enemy leader, and shook Su Cheng's arm excitedly.
"Sir! Alan made it! We won!"
Su Cheng smiled and nodded, his eyes were full of joy.
"Well, I saw it. It's really amazing. Alan is only 14 years old. Why is his force value so high? It's like entering the land of no one when rushing into thousands of troops."
The soldiers of the rebel army who were closest to Alan and his party stared dumbfounded.
I don't know who started it, and shouted: "Chief Anton is dead! Run away!"
Then, there was a knock-on effect.
More and more people shouted, turned and fled.
Before the start of the war, Su Cheng ordered that when the enemy soldiers flee, let them flee, let them drive more people to flee, and accelerate the collapse of the army, only kill those who are still hesitating, I don’t know why War is a soldier who flees.
Therefore, the soldiers of Su Cheng's army let the soldiers who put down their weapons and fled escape, and specially went to kill those who were still hesitating or did not understand the situation.
Some people threw away their weapons and fled, and some people threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender. As more and more people fled and surrendered, the chain effect continued to expand. The number of people who fled and surrendered was geometrically multiple increased.
The chain effect also extended to the front and rear troops that were not attacked by Su Cheng's army, and the soldiers of the two parts of the troops that were intact also began to flee and surrender. No matter how the officers howled and how they hacked and killed the fleeing soldiers, there was no way to stop the collapse of the army.
After all, they are a group of farmers who have just put down their farm tools and picked up their knives and guns. After losing the leader, they will immediately lose their morale and will to fight, and become a vulnerable mob.
Soon, the 15,000-strong army collapsed. Many people didn't know what happened, but they threw away their weapons and fled with others.
Now only Su Cheng's troops are left in the valley, the soldiers who have knelt on the ground and surrendered.
Su Cheng clumsily drove the horse down from the mountainside, then raised his fist above his head and shouted:
"we won!!!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!"
The surrounding soldiers burst into loud cheers.
They all knew that their commander-in-chief was a guy who wasn't even a soldier, so they were all prepared to leave forever, but they didn't expect that their commander-in-chief would lead them to fight the first battle with only 5,000 troops. It directly defeated the main force of 15,000 rebels, reducing the number of 30,000 rebels by half.
big win! Hearty victory!
Amidst the cheers one after another, the morale of the army soared.
Su Cheng ordered the army to withdraw from the valley first, and then make repairs. As for the soldiers who knelt on the ground and surrendered, Su Cheng ordered them to go, as long as they handed over their weapons, and let them go back wherever they came from. where to go.
After the army withdrew from the valley, they sat on the ground to rest, drank some water and ate something to restore their strength, and asked the military doctors accompanying the army to treat the injured.
And Su Cheng and others,
In the newly erected general camp, the number of casualties is counted, and the next stage of combat tasks is determined.
"Boss, according to statistics, a total of 97 people died in this battle, 178 were injured, and 21 of the injured were seriously injured." A captain of the thousand-man team reported to Su Chenghui.
Su Cheng nodded.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. It seems that we suffered 275 casualties in this battle."
In the battle just now, none of the five thousand captains died, but two of them were injured, but fortunately, they were all minor injuries. All five of them are now important officers of Su Cheng. Without five of them, It will be more difficult for Su Cheng to command. In the big victory just now, the excellent on-site command of the five captains of the thousand-man team played a big role.
And Alan, who fought the most bravely and rushed to the front, didn't have any injuries on his body, but was spattered with a lot of enemy blood.
"Then, let's start the second round of the military meeting now to discuss the next battle."
"yes!"
The five captains of the thousand-man team responded loudly, Su Cheng's prestige in their hearts has risen sharply, and no one is unwilling to obey Su Cheng's orders.
Su Cheng looked at the map spread out in front of him, and said:
"Now we have defeated the 15,000 central army of the rebel army. Now the rebel army also has a left army and a right army, a total of 15,000. Although they have reduced their numbers by half, we still cannot underestimate the enemy. We must continue Be cautious."
Su Cheng pursed his lips, then suddenly said:
"Deng Jiaer, what do you think we should do next?"
"Huh? Sir, did you call me?" Deng Jiaer, who was standing behind Su Cheng, pointed to himself.
"That's right, it's you. Is there anyone named Deng Jiaer here besides you?"
"This...isn't that good, I am now your knight servant, how can I do what the coach should do?"
"Believe in yourself." Su Cheng looked at Deng Jiaer with a smile, "Last time, didn't you come up with the same general strategy as me of 'concentrate your forces and defeat them one by one'? At that time, the combat deployment you came up with was the same as what I came up with, so I want to hear your opinions and ideas."
Deng Jiaer raised his head and looked at the five captains of the thousand-man team and Alan. The captains of the thousand-man team all looked at her with dubious eyes, while Alan gave Deng Jiaer an encouraging look.
"Then... let me tell you what I think."
Deng Jiaer took a few steps forward, bringing himself closer to the map, with his hands resting on the wooden table, his eyes fixed on the battle map.
Deng Jiaer stared at the map for an unknown amount of time, and she was still muttering while looking at the map, but her voice was so low that everyone present could not hear what Deng Jiaer was saying.
Su Cheng was not in a hurry, he folded his arms and waited quietly for Deng Jiaer to finish thinking. The 5 thousand captains and Alan could only stand aside and wait quietly.
After a while, Deng Jiaer finally raised his head.
"Sir, my idea is that now that the central army of the rebel army has been defeated by us, it will be more difficult for the remaining left army and right army to support and cooperate with each other. They still don't know the reason for the defeat of the central army. News, still rushing to Cordoba."
"So, I think we should attack here next."
Deng Jiaer pointed to the pawn marked as the left army.
"The current position of our army is very favorable to us, because we have already opened a hole in the middle of their three-way army. We can use a roundabout method to go around to the back of a certain army, and if we want to go around If you go to the back of the right army, the terrain is more difficult to walk, but if you go around to the back of the left army, the road will be much easier, so I suggest to go around behind the 10,000 people of the left army and surprise them from behind. Catch them off guard!"
Su Cheng listened carefully while nodding his head.
"Well, good! Then this is the next battle plan! Do the five captains have any doubts or ideas? If you have any doubts or ideas, tell them now. If you don't, after the army is repaired, you will set off to make a detour." Go behind the left army!"
"Huh?" Deng Jiaer was taken aback, "Do you want to adopt my strategy? Sir, you haven't expressed your thoughts on the next battle plan yet."
Su Cheng smiled.
"My thoughts are exactly the same as yours."
