Chapter 43: Victory
"Charge!" Sun Yu shook the reins, and the horse rushed out like an arrow. The cavalry behind them speeded up to catch up.
The guards at the entrance of the camp were just about to pick up their weapons to fight the enemy when they were knocked out by the charging cavalry. The attack by two hundred cavalry caused great psychological pressure on the entire camp. The soldiers who came out of the tent heard the sound
, in the panic, there was no time to wear armor, so he could only pick up weapons to meet the enemy.
"Don't stop, get close to me and keep charging!" Sun Yu picked on three people in a row and shouted loudly, and the entire cavalry team continued to charge faster.
Bai Yong, who had just left the tent, was a little desperate. Although these cavalry were immature, there were many people and horses, but they were fast. No matter where his side tried to gather men, the other side's cavalry would rush up and scatter the entire formation.
"Come closer to me, hurry, hurry!" Bai Yong shouted loudly. If this continues, the entire camp will be destroyed.
Sun Yu saw Bai Yong gathering his soldiers. Dozens of personal guards were surrounding him, and more and more soldiers were gathering around him. If he was allowed to continue and he wanted to defeat them again, he would have to pay a huge price.
"Charge with me!" Sun Yu turned his horse's head and led the cavalry battalion to charge in the direction of Bai Yong.
"Set up your shields and spears for me, and hold on!" Bai Yong knew that he couldn't withstand this wave, and he might be doomed here. If he could withstand it and gather his men, he might not be able to fight.
The two sides were getting closer and closer, and Sun Yu could already see the red tassel on the spear swinging in the wind, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the horse spear in his hand.
Sun Yu pulled the reins, and fire shot up from under his seat. Sun Yu blocked the spear and flew directly over the shield.
"Bang" a huge and dull impact sound came, and the cavalry behind him followed Sun Yu and hit him mercilessly. The protective wall composed of shields was instantly shattered.
Relying on the huge inertia, Sun Yu led the cavalry team to instantly disperse the hundreds of soldiers that Bai Yong had finally gathered. The horse was fiercely inserted into the chest of one of Bai Yong's soldiers, lifted up high, and fell to the ground behind him.
The spears in the hands of the cavalry relied on the huge impact of the horses to take away the lives of the enemy soldiers one by one.
"Shoot!" Under Sun Yu's order, a group of cavalrymen raised their crossbows and fired at the surroundings.
The leader of the hall, Bai Yong, survived the attack under the protection of his own soldiers and prepared to break away from the cavalry and organize another resistance.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
It was the Guards battalion led by Cheng Zhenbei and Chen Qiba who arrived. Facing the unorganized enemy army, the well-equipped Guardsmen cut through the enemy camp like melons and vegetables.
Nor could it organize an effective counterattack.
When the Sword and Shield Battalion and the Spear Battalion entered the battlefield, most of the enemy troops gave up resistance, dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
As for Sun Yu, he led the cavalry to surround Bai Yong and dozens of soldiers.
"Surrender, don't make unnecessary resistance!" Sun Yu raised his horse and pointed at Bai Yong. He didn't want to cause more killings. He had repeatedly emphasized to each battalion before that surrendering without killing should be given to those who are not heinous.
Chance.
"Who are you?" Bai Yong looked at Sun Yu with a look of reluctance. Yesterday he was the boss of thousands of brothers, and today he is a prisoner. This feeling is really uncomfortable.
"My lord is Lord Sun, the new governor and defense envoy of Jianzhou. Don't be stubborn!" General Han Zai pointed his spear at Bai Yong. What time was it?
"Put down your weapons, sin
People, surrender!" Bai Yong glanced at the camp and saw that the battle was over. He threw the long knife in his hand to the ground, knelt down and surrendered. What was the point of stubbornly resisting? It was just letting these brothers of his own die in vain.
"These people should be kept in good custody and not tortured!" Sun Yu ordered Lao Cheng and started patrolling the camp. As for the deserters, the cavalry chased them. There is no way two legs can outrun a war horse.
After each battalion cleaned the battlefield, the battle losses were quickly reported. In this battle, the Jianzhou Army killed 23 people, seriously injured 15 people, and injured dozens more lightly. They killed more than 200 enemies and captured more than 900 people.
"Brothers who died in the battle will be burned on the spot, and all their ashes will be sent back to their hometowns. Pensions will be paid immediately. Brothers who were seriously injured will be sent back to Jian'ou, and the Su family will arrange for them to return to their hometown in Jiangning. The Duke's government will arrange for them to be dispatched. They cannot be wronged. Minor injuries will be treated with all our strength.
, there must be no mistakes!" When the logistics team arrived, Sun Yu explained the matters clearly to Xu Yi one by one.
"How to deal with this prisoner of war?" Things on your side are easy to deal with, but the prisoners of war are in trouble. You can't keep them in vain.
"Put the leaders at all levels and their personal guards in separate custody. The ordinary soldiers will be selected and replenished by each battalion. As for the rest, they will be organized into the auxiliary battalions. San Dao, you go to each battalion to pick a few people and make arrangements yourself."
Entering the boundary of Jianzhou, the supply camp should also be put on the agenda.
Ordinary soldiers are just paid as soldiers. Since we are short of men anyway, we recruit them directly. Those leaders and personal guards have to be carefully screened.
"Daqiu, go and bring me the boss. I have something to ask." Sun Yu thought, since the boss has been taken down, the territory should also be taken. Talk to him first, if you can
By asking him to surrender, he can speed up the progress.
"Untie him!" Sun Yu looked at the tightly tied Bai Yong and decided to be polite first and then fight. No! We have already sent troops, so let's fight first and then be polite. Anyway, it is better than being rude.
"Sir..." Zhang Daqiu was in trouble. He was the leader of the enemy army, so he had to loosen his bonds.
"You can let me go if I ask you to. I've never been afraid of anyone in a duel?" Sun Yu touched the Tianshu Sword. Not to mention that the other party was unarmed, even if he had a weapon in his hand, he was not afraid of him.
"Thank you, sir!" After untying the rope, Bai Yong finally felt better and bowed his hands.
"Sit down, have a drink of water, and tell me why you did this?" Sun Yu extended his hand to signal.
"Well, the criminals were temporarily blinded by lard and wanted to attack the army at the ferry. Seeing that your army was in good order and there was no chance of victory, they thought of going back first." Bai Yong picked up the tea and drank it all. So far this morning,
I didn't eat a bite of food and didn't drink any water.
"If it's not this, why do you want to rebel?" Sun Yu was very curious as to why Bai Yong would take this path.
Bai Yong slowly said: The Bai family was originally the leading wealthy family in Fusha, but the government was weak and incompetent. Sha County and Youxi were occupied by the Tiannv Cult and the Minxi Gang, and could not collect taxes. The people of Fusha were
Unfortunately, he was overwhelmed by the endless taxes. After discussing with several other big families, Bai Yong simply organized his own armed forces, drove away the county officials, and established self-government.
"Then why are you targeting the northern village?" If you weren't targeting the north, why would you have stationed all the elites here and be blamed for it all?
"Well, I'm already overwhelmed by those two families. If they take me to the north again, my life will be even more miserable, so I also want to come here to occupy some territory and expand my strength." Bai Yong didn't lie.
The Tiannv Cult and the Western Fujian Gang divided the territories in the north where they formed strongholds to protect themselves. Next,
The unlucky one must be himself.
"Why are you spying on our army?" Sun Yu nodded. Bai Yong did have some discernment.
"Sir, if your lowly position is as expected, you will be the first to attack me after you come here. Therefore, the guilty people want to strike first." Bai Yong licked his lips and replied after a slight hesitation.
"Oh, why?" Bai Yong actually knew his plan.
"Your Excellency, on behalf of the imperial court, must have reached a tacit understanding with the Zhongyi Army in Jian'ou. I am the weakest here, so naturally I will be attacked first to boost the army's power." Bai Yong sighed. He is weak and cannot run away after being beaten.
"Yes, you have some strategies, but you don't want to take refuge with me?" Sun Yu smiled slightly, but Bai Yong could see the situation clearly.
"The first is that I am unwilling to give in, and the second is that I don't know how much ability you have. I have finally accumulated this little wealth, and I don't want to give it to others."
"You are very honest. I will give you a chance to convince your subordinates to surrender to me. I will put past the blame. You can choose to continue to be your rich man, or you can stay and work for me." This man is smart, frank, Sun Yu
I have a bit of love for talents, but if I want to be under my command, this certificate is indispensable.
"Sir, are you serious about what you say? The guilty people will surely be able to convince their subordinates to surrender. From now on, they are willing to work hard in front of you." After Bai Yong finished speaking, he knelt down directly on the ground. The people left behind in Fusha County are all members of his own family.
, surrender is not a problem. As for going back to be a rich man, go to hell, if you are content with being a small landowner, why do you want to recruit people and raise troops by yourself?
"Okay, I will send a thousand troops to go with you to take over the defense of Fusha. If everything goes well and Fusha is settled, you can come to me with your bodyguards and I will have my own arrangements." Sun Yu thought and asked the old man
Cheng went to take a trip and occupy Fusha first. It is definitely not appropriate to put Bai Yong in Fusha. After all, the Bai family has deep roots in Fusha, so it is better to follow him first.
"Sir, it's okay for me to go away for a while, Old Cheng, but I can't stay in Fusha forever, right?" Old Cheng had nothing to say when he fought and killed the enemy. The management of this place was completely blind. When Sun Yu found Cheng Zhenbei and finished speaking, he suddenly
A headache.
"To govern this shitty place, go and subdue all the local guards, deploy some of your own people, and then transfer some to the Guards Battalion. We will ensure that we have control over Fusha, but we cannot reduce the combat effectiveness of the Guards Battalion, you know?
As for government affairs, find a local scholar with some reputation and let him do it for three months. If he does well, he will stay, and if he doesn't, he will be replaced. We just need to ensure absolute control of the army, you know?" Now this will happen
, there is no time to take care of the mess, leave it to professionals.
"Then I can choose whoever I like?" That's the county magistrate. It must feel good to let him choose people. Sun Yu only needs to ensure that he has control over the army. Fusha's existing army must be dispersed and reorganized.
Reorganize.
"We must be able to do things, and we must not delay farming or cause public anger. Lao Cheng, we are doing big things, so we have to have a long-term vision!" Sun Yu was worried that Lao Cheng would not be able to control himself and do something like selling his official position.
"Don't worry, young master, I won't have to worry about it, Old Cheng." Cheng Zhenbei knew what Sun Yu meant because he was both rough and subtle.
"Then let's hit the road, I'll leave that Bai Yong to you." Although we won a complete victory in this battle, we must not let up at all. After all, there are still Tiannv Cult and the Minxi Gang. Take over the entire Jianzhou as soon as possible.
Only then can we fully develop.
Chapter completed!
