Chapter 1315 The Money's Going to Run Away
Unfortunately, the Wei army refused.
The soldiers panicked and shouted, "They've escaped! Our spoils are getting away! Commander Jiang, please give the order to pursue them immediately!"
Good heavens! Are these enemy troops? This is money, our money! The money is running away, we have to chase after it!
From the high slope, Jiang Dalang surveyed the latest battle situation of the enemy and ordered: "Wave the flags to inform all battalions to slow down the pursuit of the enemy. When they regroup, launch a long-range attack and inflict heavy casualties on the enemy with minimal weaponry. Then, the vanguard of each battalion led by Commander Deng will charge forward. The Zhengtong Wei army led by Commander Dai will follow in second place. General Alan and the mountain soldiers led by the various village chiefs will flank the enemy from both sides, encircling and killing them from all directions. We must win this battle quickly and annihilate the Beiqi brothers' forces and the newly reinforced enemy troops."
He added, "Please have Vice General Lang stay close to General Liang to prevent any enemy troops from sneaking out and posing a threat to him!"
Dongmo might be born in the year of the rat, as he is very good at digging holes. Along the way, they not only encountered light cavalry pursuing them, but also encountered small groups of enemy troops that suddenly appeared.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that this battle is a diversionary tactic by the enemy, and we must protect General Liang.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The three groups of scouts received their orders, took the latest military orders written by the officers and stamped with Jiang Dalang's fingerprint and design, and headed towards the various camps below the high slope.
A group of warhorses were waiting at the bottom of the slope. After the scouts went down the slope, they mounted their horses and continued galloping. Soon they rushed to the vicinity of the Wei army commanders in all directions.
"Report! Commander Jiang has ordered all officers and soldiers to slow down their pursuit of the enemy..."
"Report!"
"Report!"
After listening, Commander Deng nodded in satisfaction and shouted, "The vanguard troops, hastily assembled from various battalions, listen to my command..."
Vanguards: Let's not add the prefix, it sounds too much like a no-name brand, making us seem unprofessional.
The other commanders also gave orders, leading their soldiers to pursue the enemy slowly, in accordance with Jiang Dalang's military command.
"The cavalry will lead the way; the first battalion of shield bearers and archers will follow, jointly supporting Commander Bai's supply battalion..."
The supply battalion led by Bai Baihu was at the forefront, with soldiers and a large number of mountain people pushing various long-range supply trains with a slurping and groaning sound.
At the same time, at least 30,000 people pushed forward, turning the desolate wilderness on both sides of the main road, which was about a mile long, into a new road.
Following the cavalry, the first battalion of shield infantry, archers, supply troops, and the vanguard were regular Wei infantry, including shield infantry and archers, but mostly soldiers carrying swords, spears, and long lances.
Behind the Wei infantry were the less capable mountain warriors... The capable ones had all gone to serve as the left and right flank soldiers for General Alan and the fourth, eighth, and twelfth chieftains.
They could only follow behind the Third Chief, doing things like finishing off wounded soldiers, carrying the wounded, and retrieving weapons.
That's right, the Third Chieftain is still alive; he's not dead.
Some hot-blooded mountain folk didn't want to do these menial tasks of carrying and picking up weapons, and wanted to go to the front to charge. The Third Chieftain advised them: "Hey, you can't be so impulsive. You have to realize that you're not up to the task. Just do your jobs of finishing off the wounded, carrying the wounded, and picking up weapons."
Don't look down on these jobs; if you're lucky, you might find gold and silver treasures.
The mountain people were prevented from charging forward and could only curse the Third Chieftain in their hearts: "You cowardly old fool!"
The third chieftain cursed them inwardly: "Fools who don't know how to enjoy life! It would be so much better to hide in the back and reap the benefits, but you don't appreciate them at all. You're so stupid!"
In short, the mountain people disliked the three village chiefs, and the three village chiefs disliked them in return; they disliked each other...
Thump thump thump!
The Beiqi brothers led their decimated light cavalry, galloping towards the arriving reinforcements. After galloping for two miles, feeling safe, they turned back to mock the Wei army: "You worthless, lowly bastards! You were so arrogant! You could have killed us quickly, but you missed your chance and let us escape, hahaha!"
"Wait, we'll be back with reinforcements soon and devour you grain-producing Wei..."
Boom boom boom boom boom!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
The flint struck, startling the warhorses and sending more than a dozen Eastern Desert cavalrymen flying.
The Beiqi brothers were startled and dared not utter another word. They hurriedly spurred their horses and fled, with the rest of the Eastern Desert cavalry following behind.
There was no camaraderie in the Eastern Desert, so the dozen or so Eastern Desert soldiers who had lost their horses could only run wildly on their own two feet behind them.
"Xiao Bai, who told you to stop throwing flint? You're wasting weapons and increasing our losses, you know that?!" Commander Deng yelled from behind, "Flint is hard to transport, use it sparingly!"
Bai Baihu said, “Chief, we didn’t lose out. We’ve gained more than a dozen warhorses!”
"It's even, nothing to show for it. Continue pursuing the enemy, catch them all together and kill them. Don't waste any more flints!" Commander Deng was also annoyed by the Beiqi brothers' nagging and wanted to smash them with flints.
Unfortunately, he's a commander of a thousand, so he has to consider battle losses... Frustrating!
"Forward, all troops! Pursue the enemy! Catch them all and slaughter them!" the centurions shouted, and the soldiers roared.
Well, when you have a lot of people and power, you become fearless.
"Damn those Wei bastards, just you wait!" The Beiqi brothers were furious at the Wei army's relentless pursuit and sped off towards the direction of the new reinforcements.
After running for about two miles, they saw the royal army flag being carried by the newly arrived reinforcements.
Three royal banners, one for the north, one for the west, and one for the east.
They were all royal generals who led their troops, each with 10,000 soldiers, totaling 30,000 troops.
When the newly arrived reinforcements saw the endless Wei army behind the Beiqi brothers, they wanted to turn around and run for their lives.
However, they had come to save face for their tribe. If they turned and ran away without fighting, they would not only become a laughing stock, but also become sacrifices.
Because in places unseen by them, there are royal messengers overseeing the battle.
"The royal families of Beiqidel and Beiqidel, may I ask how many troops Liang Wei actually has?!" asked Xichi'er from the west (yes, the brother of Xihe'er).
Besides west Chi'er, west Duo's son west Jin'er also came.
The two younger brothers, Bei Qi and Bei Qi Dewei, didn't even glance at them. Instead, they asked their other brother, Bei Qi Dewei, "Are there any reinforcements from the Eastern Desert coming?"
Bei Qidewei shook his head: "It's over. Only we can save you... What happened to you? How did you end up like this after being chased by Liang Wei? Did Liang Wei use poison?"
The Beiqi brothers shook their heads and then nodded: "That bastard Jiang Dalang stole our poison, mixed it up and used it to harm us. The divine physician couldn't detoxify such a mixed poison, which is why we suffered a small loss."
No, this is a small loss? You've all been almost completely wiped out.
Bei Qide glared at Dong Mangfu's eldest son: "Dongmie City, do you Eastern Kingdoms intend to betray us and return to the Great Wei? You only brought 10,000 cavalry to help us. Do you think that if we die, your Eastern Kingdoms will be given important positions?"
Bah! Absolutely not! Because you are not even of our Eastern Desert race!
You are nothing more than the final fate of the mountain people, so no matter how loyal you are, you are still our enemies.
Upon hearing this, Dong Miecheng trembled with fear. He hurriedly dismounted, knelt down, crawled forward on his knees, and prostrated himself before Bei Qide La, saying, "The Northern True Royal Family, please calm your anger. This servant is guilty and will repent. I beg the Northern True Royal Family for forgiveness!"
After saying that, he kowtowed repeatedly.
Then, do it again...
Why is he acting so crazy?
This is because that's the rule in the Eastern Desert: people from the East must keep apologizing until they receive a personal apology from the true royal family.
