The reinforcements brought by Wang Junlin, excluding the 600 to 700 people lost in today's battle, plus the remaining less than 1,000 defenders in Shifengzhai, the total strength is just over 3,000. After Xue Yantuo's reinforcements and the escaped remnants converged, there were still no less than 30,000 soldiers, and all of them were cavalry.
Three thousand against thirty thousand, when the generals and officers realized that there was still such a disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, the hearts and minds of the big guys quickly calmed down from the excitement of the complete victory. Showed a bit dignified.
"Xue Qiluo's loss in today's battle is really miserable and depressing. Therefore, Xue Qiluo should stay nearby for three to five days in order to collect and rectify the defeated army, and further investigate the reality of our army by the way!" Among them, Xu Jingzong had read the most military books and war strategies, and his mind was the fastest. Following Wang Junlin's topic, he was the first to analyze in a low voice.
"I'm afraid that they will be afraid of the general and dare not attack Shifengzhai anymore, but will go around and plunder the people of the towns and villages." Niu Jinda couldn't help but sighed.
"This..." Xu Jingzong was very suspicious of his statement, but hesitated for a while, and did not continue to refute.
If Xue Qiluo is a smart person, he should know that Wang Junlin is far more important than the wealth of the entire Xifeng County and even Zhangye County. The power of the family came to attack Shifengzhai and took down Wang Junlin.
To this day, even though the first battle was won and the danger of Shifengzhai was resolved, Xu Jingzong still has a grudge against Wang Junlin who failed to dissuade Wang Junlin from coming to support Shifengzhai with 3,000 troops. In his years, people of status such as Wang Junlin should strictly abide by the life motto of "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall".
Wang Junlin led the generals to discuss specific plans for fighting the enemy. With such a huge disparity in numbers, before Wang Junlin made a statement, or came up with clever tricks or miraculous means to create miracles again, everyone still rationally chose to focus on defense, looking for appropriate opportunities and then giving the enemy a few hard blows. But it is difficult to repeat the glory of the previous battle just by sticking to the danger.
"Okay, let's go to rest first! How to defeat the enemy, I have already made up my mind." Just when everyone's expressions became more and more dignified, Wang Junlin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke with a smile. When everyone heard this, they all heaved a sigh of relief, and their confidence returned to their faces again.
After letting everyone leave, Wang Junlin came to the next door to his room, where the worm monster was specially arranged by him.
When Wang Junlin came, there was a Turkic man lying on the floor of the room, his face was distorted, sweat was pouring down, his face was pale, his body was trembling, and he had an expression that life would be worse than death. Wang Junlin saw a blood-colored centipede go into his nostril, come out of his mouth again, and was taken into the black cauldron by the insect demon.
"Kneel down!" the worm demon said sharply.
The Turkic man hurriedly got up and knelt down towards the insect monster, his body trembling. He was a famous warrior in Xue Yantuo's tribe, and even the entire Eastern Turkic Khanate, but in front of this devilish Han man, he lost They violated their dignity and betrayed their beliefs. Because that kind of pain is really too painful, as if acting on the soul.
"Okay, this Turkic savage has been fed some things by the old man. After cleaning up, he is obedient now. He will do what you ask him to do." The insect demon glanced at Wang Junlin, a little proud Said.
Wang Junlin kept his eyes on this Turkic man who was as strong as Yu Zimo, and his expression was a bit complicated. Yesterday he brought 3,000 cavalry to meet the more than 400 Xue Yantuo cavalry led by this man, in order not to let the news of his early arrival Leaked, four hundred people were decisively besieged and killed, and this person was the leading general. He fought with Yu Zimo for more than a dozen moves before he was knocked off the horse. His strength was not weaker than that of the stagnation period. If he didn't surrender, Wang Junlin took a lot of effort to capture him alive in order to find out some news from him.
Unexpectedly, after being repaired and tortured by the insect monster, this Turkic general turned out to be as well-behaved as a cat. Wang Junlin couldn't help thinking that he didn't know if he could bear the worm monster's tricks. He knew that if the worm monster had the opportunity to use his methods behind him, he would definitely do it without hesitation.
This Turkic general is none other than Xue Yantuo's cavalry commander, Carter Xiong, who used to stand alone in front of Shifengzhai and set up a flag, and later led a thousand cavalry to intercept Niu Jinda.
"I see that the more than 8,000 dog thieves you captured are not bad, and you will capture more than 1,000 Turkic warriors later, and I will make up 10,000 strong men for this old man. Of course, this old man will use their blood to raise the insect king, and you will also get one." Ten thousand dead men." Seeing that Wang Junlin was satisfied with Carter Bear, the worm stared into Wang Junlin's eyes and said.
Wang Junlin said with a smile: "I will give you five thousand men for your use first, and I will use some of Xue Yantuo's big tent cavalry and some people from other tribes. But don't worry, in the end ten thousand strong and strong men will always be given to you." You make enough. There is never a shortage of prisoners on the battlefield."
…
…
While Wang Junlin was leading people to discuss how to fight the next battle, in a valley more than forty miles northwest of Shifengzhai, Xue Qiluo also had a gloomy discussion with the commanders and ministries under his command. The topic is naturally how to avenge the shame of today's fiasco.
"Dog day's Carter Xiong didn't hold Niu Jinda back, why hasn't he come back yet?" Xue Qiluo gnashed his teeth and shouted loudly.
After the disastrous defeat by Wang Junlin, his personal prestige was greatly affected, and he always had to find a few people to share the responsibility with him. Carter, who has not yet returned, is undoubtedly one of the most suitable candidates.
Several Xue Qiluo's confidantes understood the meaning of the little chief, and were about to echo a few words, laying the main responsibility for the defeat on Carter, when a burly figure walked into the big tent.
"Carter Xiong, why did you come back now." Xue Qiluo was stunned for a moment, and shouted sharply.
"The humble staff did their best and only held Niu Jinda up for a day and a half, please punish the little chief." Carter Xiong admitted his mistake in a bachelor's way.
"Okay, don't mention the past, I hope you can make up for it!" Xue Qiluo knew that Carter bear had a high prestige among the soldiers, so it was not easy to punish him too much.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the tent. It turned out that a commander who had been captured by the Sui army had returned.
"Wuluoye, it's great that you're not dead, it's great if you can come back alive, we will definitely kill everyone in Shifengzhai, kill the **** and poisonous general Wang Junlin of the Sui Dynasty, and wash away the defeat of our Xueyan warriors shame." The commander who came was Xue Qiluo's confidant, so Xue Qiluo was very happy when he saw the person who came.
