Chapter 177 The end of the road
"what?"

"There are nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers?!"

Yang Feng, the general of the Baibo Army's rear army, stared at Tu Chuan who came to report. He touched the sweat on his cheeks and suspected that he had heard wrong:

"Are you trying to trick me?"

Before Tu Chuan could reply, former army general Li Leze suddenly waved his hand:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Li Le's military advisor Wei Ming also didn't believe it:

"Yes, if there are nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers, then how can they let us leave so easily?"

This was true. Even Tu Chuan couldn't understand how the governor could conjure up such a huge army.

But his mission is very clear:

Yuan Shao was stunned.

That's right, these people don't think they have much chance of winning now.

Li Tong hated the dog-headed military advisor Wei Ming so much that he led them all the way to escape. Now there were more and more dog-headed officers and soldiers, and they were about to finish their game.

Only then did he know why Su Yao went to such trouble to recruit so many troops.

"what?!"

Who knows that he also sent four thousand people away in one go?

"The Montenegrin Army has been contacted. We are saved!"

"Captain Su actually wants to attack the Black Mountain Army?!"

At this moment, Xu Huang suddenly came to report:

"The officers and soldiers left Jinyang City in a mighty manner a few days ago. There is no way they can leave. They will arrive as soon as tomorrow.

"There must be a way."

Hugging the grass and hunting rabbits, I dare to believe that Governor Su is a drunkard and does not care about drinking.

"Young Commander Tu Chuan is right."

Are the tens of thousands of remnants of the Baibo Army just a hook? The real target is the Black Mountain bandits in the Taihang Mountains?
"Start from Jinyang, go through the mountains and enter Shangdang to Hanoi, and then take the Mengjin ferry to Beijing."

Especially Yang Feng, after learning that the one who defeated Li Le was Su Yao who had defeated him, he immediately felt some understanding of Li Le sending five thousand troops at once.

But then, something terrible happened. This terrifying Governor Su actually brought nearly ten thousand troops to conquer them this time? !
What a slap in the face.

Two generals, please make your decision early and don't miss the opportunity to fight. "

"How can this be good?"

Li Le gritted his teeth.

Xiaoshuai Li Tong said bitterly to Wei Ming:
"With such a large army, anyone with eyes can see it. We may be in danger this time!"

Yang Feng was desperate.

Su Yao looked at the endless mountains in the east:
"It can be said that we have been operating under the noses of these Taihang Black Mountain bandits along the way."

"It would be fine if we were just a small amount of baggage escorted by elite soldiers, but our capture, baggage, plus the nearly 20,000 prisoners, it can be said that the journey stretches for more than ten miles."

"With such a long team and such a big movement, how can we not be targeted by those thieves?"

"As the saying goes, you can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but you can't prevent a thief in a thousand days."

"Instead of thinking about how to prevent the Black Mountain bandits from blocking the road and looting afterwards, it is better for us to attack and take advantage of the situation to clear up the potential safety hazards on the road."

Yes, at this point, Su Yao's strategic purpose was truly told to these people.

This was not just a whim. After resolving border conflicts such as Hu Qiang and Xianbei in the northwest, the only shadow on the map of Bingzhou made Su Yao think about the threat of the Black Mountain Army.

Bai Bojun took advantage of the situation to attack, which gave him a logical opportunity.

Driving the Baibo Army here, taking advantage of the opportunity to pursue them, and jointly attacking the Black Mountain Army, this is Su Yao's real purpose.

"But the Black Mountain bandits are not comparable to these white wave bandits who suddenly emerged."

Yuan Shao paused, sweating on his forehead:

"The bandit commander Zhang Yan, a native of Changshan, took advantage of the favorable geographical location in the valleys of Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, and Hanoi to gather bandits to communicate with each other and occupy the Taihang Mountains.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the states, counties and counties north of the Yellow River have been harmed by it. The court could not control it, so it gradually grew in size and now has millions of followers.

Such bandits, as long as they don't mess with us, how can the governor take the initiative to cause trouble! "

Yuan Shao was right, Su Yao also knew the strength of the Black Mountain Army.

These people were powerful enemies who stole Yuan Shao's hometown Yecheng in the future war in the Central Plains. They were finally destroyed under the joint attack of Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.

Considering the excessive impact on the game process, Su Yao was not prepared to destroy this force so early.

The reason is very simple. It wasn't until he finished fighting in the northwest and received the mission to return to Beijing that Su Yao deeply realized what it meant to have a plan that couldn't keep up with changes.

He pushed so fast!
Initially, he wanted to base himself on Bingzhou and take advantage of the situation to gain a foundation after the chaos in the world.

However, when he started pushing, he realized that only three months had passed since the fight was over, and the Han Dynasty was still breathing heavily!
His personal progress is fast, but the world's progress is still slow, which creates this misalignment. In the early days, before the collapse of the Central Court of the Han Dynasty, the official system was still operating normally. Su Yao himself didn't know where he would be assigned.

Although he quickly adjusted his goal and hoped to join the Central Xiyuan Army, Xiyuan Army was just a captain in the final analysis, and he had not yet found controllable promotion conditions.

If you really push your battle achievements too hard at this time, you will skip this level all of a sudden and become a governor in some poor place.
So by going all the way to eliminate the Black Mountains, wouldn't it mean that he was taking advantage of Yuan Shao next to him and eliminating a potential opponent for him?
Thinking about future considerations, Su Yao's answer to Yuan Shao was a little perfunctory:
"Just teach them a lesson, let them recognize the reality, and don't think about going against us."

"Could it be that easy?"

Yuan Shao helped:

"How can it be such a child's play when we have a dispute? Everything goes according to your wishes?"

"Let's talk about it after finishing the fight."

After finishing speaking, Su Yao urged his horse forward, away from the chattering Yuan Shao.

Yes, at least for now, Su Yao, who thinks from a game perspective, does have the purpose of fighting a disciplinary war.

Punitive war.

It is different from conventional wars that are based on border friction, seizing territory, or unifying the world.

The characteristic of disciplinary war is that it does not target one city or one place, but mainly punishes and humiliates the enemy.

Decrease its prestige, weaken its strength, enhance your own prestige while plundering its property and population, forcing it to bow its head, suspend hostilities, hand over the right of passage, etc.

As for whether there will be other developments in the future, let’s wait until later.

As for now, for these white wave thieves
"Let's go, follow me!"

"Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick!"

"We will be safe once we enter the mountain!"

“Haha, it’s really hard to find a way out, but there’s always a bright future ahead of you!”

"Xu Huang, good job, you did a good job!"

That evening, the sun sets in the west.

The 16,000-strong army of the Baibo Army Yang Feng and Li Le's coalition forces have marched to the plains at the foot of Hongya Mountain.

The iconic red clay cliffs can be seen visually.

This place is located in the southeast of Yangyi and is the intersection of Taiyue and Taihang Mountains.

Going south along the road in the canyon at the foot of the mountain is Shangdang Nie County. If you go east at the intersection of the mountain road, you will enter the control area of ​​the Taihang Black Mountain Army.

It was here that the Black Mountain Army competed with the Han Army for control of the mountain roads in Nie County.

It can be said that as long as they can enter this mountain, they can escape, go all the way east, join the Black Mountain Department, use the mountain roads to ambush, and severely injure these officers and soldiers who come unexpectedly.

However, at this moment
"Report!"

"Officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are here!"

In fact, there is no need to spy. Coming from the northeast, the billowing dust and smoke bathed in the golden twilight can be clearly seen as long as their eyes are not blind.

"Are there more than two thousand riders?" Li Le swallowed hard.

"Red Robe. It's Governor Su who's here." Yang Feng's face turned pale.

You can't say you didn't expect it, then it would be reasonable for Governor Su to leave his infantry and come with all his troops to arrive today.

But why is it now, the most critical moment, they are just a little bit close!

"Go up the mountain, go up the mountain quickly!" Yang Feng shouted in panic.

——"can't"

Military advisor Wei Ming said hurriedly

"The mountain road is narrow. Once chaos breaks out and we are pursued one after another, our army may be wiped out in one fell swoop!

In this critical situation, we can only have a glimmer of hope by sending a general to suppress the rear troops and buy time for us. "

"General." Li Le and Yang Feng looked at each other and saw the hesitation in the other's eyes.

"I'll do it!" Li Tong shouted.

He stood up not only because his enemies were extremely jealous when they met, but also because of time constraints, the team he led was already at the end of the team.

After Li Tong came out, Tu Chuan also stood up and said that he would protect the army together with him.

"Then I'll leave it to you two."

Yang Fengdao:
"I hand over all the crossbowmen in the army to you. We must stop these bastards!"

"Order!"

So, amidst the sound of drums, the Baibo Army quickly adjusted in place, changed the rear formation into the front formation, and established their positions.

However, as soon as he stood still, he saw arrows raining down from the sky.

"The arrow passes through the solid stone, and the three armies are strong!"

Just before the rain of arrows fell, Su Yao fired three consecutive arrows with all his strength, the last one coming first, causing a wail!
