Chapter 1135
The mistake in this tactical choice is mainly due to lack of experience. Although the Wanjia Army is the most powerful bandit armed force in Dengzhou, its opponents are often the same level or even more amateur civilian armed forces. The number of fights with real professional troops not much.In particular, the Haihan Army is an armed organization with relatively "different" tactics. Gan Qiang has never been in contact with it before. After a big loss, he subconsciously believed that only by keeping the fighting distance apart could he reduce his own losses.

Another reason is that Gan Qiang believes that in the current combat environment, Haihan's cavalry team is already settled, and there is no need to rush to launch a general attack, and the group of people in the temple can be trapped to death by surrounding them outside.Under such circumstances, Gan Qiang was naturally unwilling to let his few men go on a desperate charge, but in this way, Hai Han was given enough time to react, and he lost even the chance to get back his money.

The special warfare battalion lurking in the mountains and forests had already seen the battlefield situation clearly before launching an attack, and they also knew the strength of the opponent, and had a battle plan arranged in advance, but Gan Qiang did not expect that there were already hundreds of people The armed forces are lurking in the mountains not far from the battlefield. What's more terrible is that this time the opponent is a special warfare battalion in the Haihan Army that is good at mountain and jungle warfare. defenseless.

When someone found the enemy attacking from behind, the soldiers of the special warfare battalion had already touched a place less than 20 meters away from the bandits. Before they could react to what happened, a round of musket salvos Suddenly, more than ten people fell down.

Sun Zhen in the temple also heard the gunshots coming from outside, and his mood was relieved at the moment. When he turned his head and saw Gan Sheng still kneeling on the ground and chanting words to the remains of the statue in the main hall, he immediately lifted him up: "Don't worry about it." Cowardly, reinforcements are here!"

After Gan Sheng arrived at this place, he knew that there was going to be a fight between the two sides. Although neither side should attack him, but in the chaos, swords and guns have no eyes, and no one can care about others after the fight. Without strength, he couldn't defend himself at all, so he could only kneel on the ground and pray for the blessing of the gods.

Sun Zhen's duty is also to protect Gan Sheng's personal safety. This is not only to fulfill his promise to Gan Sheng, but also because he needs to identify the identity of the prisoners after the war.Moreover, people like Gan Sheng who have abandoned the dark and turned to the bright can also be used as examples of Haihan's local propaganda policies in the future-if they die, they will be useless at all.

Now that the reinforcements have arrived, the safety of these people in the temple is basically not a problem. Just now the bandits only had time to carry out a wave of sporadic attacks from the outside, but they were repelled by the Haihan soldiers hiding in the hall before they approached. There were no casualties.Only one horse was shot in the body by random arrows shot from the forest outside the main hall. Fortunately, the cavalry had tied up the horse in advance, but it didn't let the startled horse run away and cause more chaos.

This is far better than what Sun Zhen expected before entering the mountain. Considering that the opponent has set up an ambush, their team must undertake the task of attracting firepower, and there is no certainty how long it will take for the reinforcements to arrive on the battlefield after the start of the battle. It is very likely that they will have to face more than ten times the siege of the enemy.Sun Zhen and the others were already prepared for a hard fight, but they didn't expect that the reinforcements would come much faster than expected. They had just tested each other, and the reinforcements had already started behind the enemy.

Most of the bandits who participated in the battle outside Fushan County are now doing hard labor on Zhifu Island. Most of these bandits ambushing in the mountains have never fought against the Haihan Army. There is also a lack of understanding of strength. At the beginning of the battle, they didn't even understand the opponent's fighting style. go down.

During the period, some people also reacted and tried to use shields to defuse the opponent's attack, but the wooden shield and rattan shield in their hands could not block the bullets fired at close range at all, and could not even slow down the opponent's attack.Moreover, these bandits were all temporarily recruited by Gan Qiang from various strongholds, and there was no combat discipline at all. When they saw their accomplices being killed and wounded by their opponents quickly, many of them immediately turned their heads and ran away. Han's offensive is no exaggeration.

Of course, Gan Qiang also noticed the strange situation, but he was still half a mile away from the battle site, and he could only vaguely see that the place was in a mess, mixed with neat gunshots and messy tragic scenes. cry.Before he could figure out what happened, his side was also attacked by unknown armed men.

Takahashi Minami is well aware that it is very difficult to capture the opponent systematically in jungle warfare, and that if one is not careful, he will pay a high price for it. Therefore, from the beginning of the formulation of the battle plan, he did not intend to take the captives alive as one of the combat goals. , what was issued before the war was the order that all resisters should be killed.Although he also knew that not all the bandits were heinous, but when it was time to deal with the problem with ruthlessness, he would never show kindness to his opponent.

The action of killing the remnant party of the Wanjia Army was not only for cutting the weeds, but also for clearing the mountainous area in the west of Fushan County to prepare for the next development of copper mines.In the past, Gao Qiaonan was not qualified to know such level of news in advance, but Qian Tiandun had already told him the news before the departure this time, which was undoubtedly an increase in his trust.

Gao Qiaonan didn't get carried away because of this, because Qian Tiandun clearly stated the purpose of doing so, which is to let him understand the necessity of the action of eliminating the remnants of the Wanjia Army for the development of copper mines.Just defeating these bandits cannot completely improve the law and order situation in this area, so taking this opportunity to come to Cishan to arrest Gan Qiang, Gao Qiaonan is determined to uproot the remnants of the Wanjia Army and develop Fushan Copper for Haihan. Mine cleared the last hurdle.

Based on this purpose, Gao Qiaonan's requirement for the troops is to annihilate these bandits as much as possible instead of just defeating these bandits. The enemies who try to resist and escape are the priority targets.There are tens of thousands of ready-made laborers in Phi Island, Liaodong, which will be imported to Zhifu Island in the coming time, so Haihan’s demand for labor is not so urgent, and Takahashi Nan does not want to take greater risks in order to capture living prisoners of war. , so a seemingly cold-blooded combat order was issued.

As soon as Gan Qiang heard the sound of gunshots nearby, he immediately realized that the Haihan people must have come close.Obviously his own troops had already trapped the Haihan cavalry team in the deserted temple, why did there still be a brigade of Haihan soldiers appearing, which immediately made a lot of big question marks pop up in Gan Qiang's mind.The only possible explanation is that the Haihan people played tricks, far more than just those people who hid in the deserted temple entered the mountain, but secretly arranged people to plot against them.

At this time, Gan Qiang had a lot of foul words in his mind, obviously he had arranged for manpower to be on duty at all the key points on the road into the mountain, why didn't even the slightest warning signal be issued?Obviously this matter was well planned, why would there be a large group of Haihan soldiers lurking into the mountain?Obviously, Gan Sheng asked the messenger to report himself before, claiming that the plan is progressing smoothly and has gained the full trust of the Haihan people.

wait!Gan Qiang suddenly came to his senses, and after he had decided on the ambush location, he only sent a letter explaining the action plan to Gan Sheng, and sealed it with wax to keep it secret.If the Haihan people can arrange a large group of people to touch this place without making a fuss, then the only person who betrayed him is probably Gan Sheng, the only insider!The damn mole!
With mental calculations and no intentions, Gan Qiang already understood where he lost. He hastily gathered his hands to Cishan these days, trying to set up an ambush to give the Haihan people a little bit of trouble, but he didn't expect to calculate and calculate, and finally fell into the ambush It's me!

But right now there is no time for him to hurt the spring and the autumn. The Haihan soldiers have already gained the upper hand in the scene almost at the moment of appearance. After a symbolic resistance, it quickly collapsed under the fire of muskets.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Gan Qiang had no intention of fighting the Haihan army to the end, so he put his life first, so he headed into the forest to the west.He was quite familiar with the terrain of Cishan, and he knew that his only escape route was to follow the mountain to the west and leave the battlefield, and then retreat southward into the vast mountains between Fushan County and Qixia County.If he wanted to take revenge on the Haihan people, he had to leave here alive first. Gan Qiang had already lost once, and now he really didn't have the courage to fight Haihan.

Gao Qiaonan quickly discovered the main force of the enemy army that was retreating in a panic from the chaos. The black-and-white Ganzi flag was too conspicuous in the forest, and it was completely a clearly visible signpost.The main target of Gao Qiaonan's battle into the mountain this time was Gan Qiang, so he naturally wouldn't let him go, and immediately commanded the troops to pursue him from tail to tail.

Gan Qiang led the team to run for a long time, and when he turned around, he saw that his own soldiers were still holding up the flag, and the enemy army was chasing him at a distance visible to the naked eye. Passed over: "Are you stupid, throw the flag away quickly! I'm afraid the Haihan people won't find me!"

Gan Qiang found that the Haihan army was chasing after him closely, and it wasn't that all countermeasures were useless. He organized two interceptions on the way, but they were all defeated at the first touch. Even volleys have limited effect on delaying time.If it weren't for being familiar with the terrain and escaping quickly enough, Gan Qiang and his men probably wouldn't even have the chance to escape from Cishan.

Two hours later, the bandits finally escaped from Cishan Mountain from the southern foot, to the south about [-] miles of plain terrain, and then entered the mountainous area that Gan Qiang was counting on, covering an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers.

It took a few days to finally assemble the manpower. Only a hundred people escaped Cishan with Gan Qiang. In the short confrontation with the Haihan army, more than half of the manpower was lost, and some people were fleeing. On the way, he fell down due to lack of energy.These manpower are already one of the few combat strengths of the Wanjia Army. Unexpectedly, the time in the morning has been lost. It will take at least several months to recruit another group of manpower—this will have to be done in Haihan. It can only be realized under the premise of not getting in the way.

Gan Qiang was so angry that he was about to vomit blood when he thought that he had endured for several years and finally waited for the opportunity to take over the Wanjia army, but he didn't expect that his dream of Huangliang would be smashed by the Haihan people.Gan Qiang secretly vowed in his heart that one day when he makes a comeback, he must catch Gan Sheng, a traitor, and chop him up in public to vent his anger.

But if he wanted to take revenge on Gan Sheng, he had to get rid of the pursuers first.Gan Qiang originally thought that the Haihan soldiers would retreat after a symbolic chase for a certain distance after winning the battle like the last time they fought in Fushan County, but the situation this time is obviously a little different. The pursuers still followed at a constant speed, only half a mile away, and it seemed that they didn't intend to let him go.

Gan Qiang asked himself that he had never had any problems with Hai Han before, and he was even more resentful when he saw his opponent relentlessly chasing and killing him.And the physical strength of these bandits under him is uneven, they are almost dropping people while running away. After many people are exhausted, they fall to the ground and cannot get up after running, which in turn caused damage to other accomplices Greater psychological panic.

Gan Qiang now regrets that he didn't arrange some horses outside Cishan, otherwise it might be easier to escape by riding the horses at this time.Now I run on my own two legs, and I dare not stop to rest. I just feel that my legs are getting heavier and heavier, and the weight on my body has been thrown away. If I want to continue to reduce the burden, I can only take off my clothes and strip my pants.

"The front is Gujia Village, advanced village to avoid!" Gan Qiang knew that if he continued to escape, he would soon exhaust his energy like the others, so he could only choose to hide in the nearest village for a while until his energy recovered. Continue fleeing after one o'clock.

This Gujia Village used to be a village under the control of the Wanjia Army. There were no more than thirty or forty families in the village.

"Entered the village!" Gao Qiaonan quickly chased here, did not rashly order the soldiers to chase in, first observed the situation of the village with binoculars, and was basically sure that this place should not have been set up by Gan Qiang in advance Another ambush.

"Keep the entrance and exit roads at the entrance of the village, and don't let anyone escape!" Gao Qiaonan ordered: "Use the squad as a unit, from north to south, search house by house, regardless of life or death, we must catch Gan Qiang!"

Following Gao Qiaonan all the way to this place, there are still two platoons. The next platoon is on guard at the periphery, guarding the gates outside the village, and the other platoon, under the leadership of Gao Qiaonan, enters the village to hunt down bandits. .
