  Chapter 977 973【Strategy of senior rogues】

  Weng Yingqi either commanded the Datong Army, or commanded the peasant troops composed of farmers and soldiers.

   Leading a group of miscellaneous soldiers to fight, Weng Yingqi has no experience. Therefore, Weng Yingqi did not report any expectations for the coalition of thousands of nobles, but let them lose the battle.

  The enemy commander was really fooled. After defeating the noble allied forces, he went back to the army with confidence and boldly. The main force and the logistics troops soon separated.

  Weng Yingqi took the opportunity to defeat the enemy, not only captured a large amount of luggage, but also captured thousands of slaves transporting food. These slaves were all Jin people captured by the enemy along the way, and they could also be trained as miscellaneous soldiers to fight. But Weng Yingqi only let them carry away the luggage, and continued to chase with a small amount of food on his donkey.

   And what about Sun Kewang?

  In Sun Kewang's eyes, as long as he is a living person, he can be thrown into the battlefield to fight!

  The goods seized from the border towns were not transported too far, but were only transferred to nearby cities whose walls had been removed, so as not to stay in Taniguchi and be attacked front and back.

  Sun Kewang attacked the grain transport station along the way, burned all the supplies there, and took away all the grain transport slaves. Including the residents of the border cities who did not escape, and the farmers in the surrounding villages, there were more than 30,000 men, women, children and children in total.

  Including the untouchables, there are more than 30,000 people, which is a 30,000 army!

   It's the old routine of rogues.

  The army of more than 30,000 people was divided into four teams by Sun Kewang.

  The first army selects the strongest Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras, and distributes the armor they plundered to form an elite force of about 3,000 people.

  The second army selected relatively thin Vaisyas and Sudras, armed with kitchen knives, wooden sticks and other weapons, and was led by several Kshatriyas with horses. The number was about 7,000.

  The third army selects the old, weak, sick and disabled from Vaishya and Sudra, with only wooden sticks, and the number is about 8,000.

  The fourth army is composed of untouchables, with more than 10,000 people.

  Then, Sun Kewang held a military parade outside the city and personally lectured on the oath. He first said to the first army: "After this battle is over, everyone who survives will be rewarded. Kshatriya who have done meritorious service, the king will give you land, not as before, managing the village land for the king, but you Own your own land!"

   "The meritorious Vaisyas and Sudras, the best one hundred people will all be promoted to your caste. The Vaishyas can be Kshatriyas, and the Sudras can be Vaishyas. The rest of the soldiers will all be given a small piece of land!"

  The translator with the army immediately stepped forward, told the officers, and asked the officers to pass the message to the soldiers.

  Everyone is inexplicably excited, Kshatriya can own private land, and Vaishya and Sudra can raise caste. Such a grand reward is simply unprecedented, and even dilutes their fear of war.

  Then, Sun Kewang ran to the second army: "Among the 7,000 of you, the 30 who perform best will be able to raise their caste and obtain land. The rest will be given a small piece of land!"

   Then went to the third army: "You eight thousand people, the fifteen who performed the best, can raise caste and get land. The rest of the survivors can also get a small piece of land!"

  Finally, go to the ranks of more than 10,000 untouchables: "As long as you make meritorious deeds and survive, you can fix the land for tenant farming, or be permanent slaves to the nobles!"

   As for the untouchables, caste is not given, and land cannot be granted, otherwise other castes will be unhappy.

  But you can get permanent tenancy rights, or be a domestic servant. These two forms of rewards are enough to make the untouchables willing to take risks.

  …

  Da Wodeya led the main force back to the town, and was not attacked on the way.

  He has reached the mouth of the valley, and as long as he passes through the valley, he can return to his own country. But he began to hesitate again. If he returned to the country in such a desperate manner, he would lose his prestige. Not only did he fail to grab the goods, but he also lost more than 6,000 soldiers.

  Da Wodeya has only been king for two years, and he still killed his nephew in a coup d'état. Losing troops will be very detrimental to his own rule.

  Taniguchi piled up so much wealth, the enemy must have not transported it too far, can you find a chance to get it back?

  Anyway, I have already reached Taniguchi, so even if I lose a little, I can escape back to my country at any time.

   Just as Dawdya was hesitating, a team of sentry cavalry came back: "Your Majesty, there are enemy troops in the northeast!"

"how many people?"

   "About twenty to thirty thousand."

   "How is the strength?"

  “The march was messy. The weapons were all farm tools, kitchen knives and wooden sticks. There were even many untouchables who didn’t even have clothes, only a pair of trousers.”

   "Can untouchables also serve as soldiers?"

   "..."

  Northeast, is the border city whose city wall was pulled out by him, Taniguchi's goods must have been transported there.

  Ask to understand what the enemy army looks like, Dawdya showed a greedy look. He has already figured it out now, the king from China must not have brought too many Chinese troops, otherwise he would have fought him head-on.

   Organize the untouchables into an army, the king of China has played all his cards, he can completely defeat the enemy, and take the goods there and return to the country.

  The more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and he even showed a disdainful smile. What kind of ghostly battle can the untouchable army fight? If you charge by yourself, all those untouchables will be defeated.

   This guy is hooked. He has an army of 16,000, and he has already reached Taniguchi. If he wants to withdraw, no one can stop him. Sun Kewang can only watch him leave.

   But now, the king decided to go to war and **** countless goods back!

The wages of avarice is death.

  Dada Wodeya prepared his army and headed northeast.

  After the two armies met, Dawdya almost died laughing. There were nearly 30,000 troops on the opposite side, except for 6,000 to 7,000 people who looked like an army, the other 20,000 people were like refugees fleeing famine.

   "Attack the main force in the middle of the enemy army with all your strength, defeat those enemies, and the rest of the enemy army will be defeated!"

  The two sides lined up close together, and the team temporarily organized by Sun Kewang showed signs of collapse before the battle. Especially those untouchables who were ready to flee at any time, the reward promised by Sun Kewang could no longer offset the fear at this moment.

"shoot!"

  Mysore archers shot in one round, only killed and wounded two or three hundred people, and the team hit by the arrow collapsed.

   Another round of projectiles, thousands of soldiers turned and fled. No promotion of caste, no reward of land, it is better to live, I only hate that my parents don't have two legs.

   "The whole army charges!"

  Dada Wardja made a decisive decision and let the infantry and cavalry all press up, leaving only the king's personal guard and the capital garrison unmoved.

  As the entire army of Mysore pressed forward, more than 20,000 miscellaneous troops fled across the board in an instant. Those by the river ran along the river, those in the middle ran back, and those on the outside fled in all directions.

  Where are the princes and nobles of Mysore who are in command of the army willing to let go of the opportunity to make meritorious deeds?

   Miscellaneous soldiers who were slow to escape continued to be killed, more and more broken soldiers jumped into the river, and more continued to flee along the river bank.

   One side fled and was defeated, and the other side lost its formation after chasing.

  Da Da Wodeya saw that the situation had been settled, and asked the elite of the Chinese army to take off their armor and carry them to the small town where the other party's goods were carried by livestock. In this scorching hot weather, normal people would not march in full armor.

  The Mysore soldiers who participated in the battle chased and killed them for several miles, and they had already killed red eyes.

  Killing people is like chopping melons and vegetables. Some soldiers even stopped, wanting to rummage through corpses to find trophies. It's a pity that they are all poor ghosts who have been robbed once, and there is nothing valuable after searching the whole body.

  This place belongs to the remaining range of mountains at the junction of the two countries. There are no high mountains, but many rolling hills.

  Suddenly, Sun Kewang rushed out from behind the hill with more than 400 cavalry. Three hundred Han Chinese cavalry and more than a hundred local aristocratic cavalry rushed obliquely towards the Mysore pursuers who had no formation.

   Peshra hid behind another hill, and he had three thousand elites under his command.

  The so-called elites are composed of the strongest Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras, all of which were captured by Sun Kewang by attacking small towns and grain depots.

   Peshra, a Kshatriya nobleman, was a little scared at first, with the mentality of running away at any time. At this time, seeing the situation of the enemy chasing soldiers, there is a lump in the east and a lump in the west, why don't you know what to do?

  Sun Kewang led more than 400 cavalry to fight out. The chaotic Mysore army had long lost its organization and could not even find where its officers were. Seeing the cavalry rushing, these pursuers turned and fled, leaving their backs for the enemy cavalry to use as targets.

   "Kill, kill, we win!"

   Peshra was inexplicably excited. Although he was robbed of his property, the city wall was torn down, and his family was missing, the victory now can dilute everything.

  Three thousand "elites" were encouraged, and under the leadership of Peshra, they bypassed their own rout and chased them from the edge of the battlefield.

   After the two sides broke away completely, Sun Kewang could finally let go. He didn't blindly chase and kill them, but divided more than 400 cavalry into two teams to kill those relatively dense enemy troops. Anyway, the enemy army cannot be gathered together, where there are more people rushing, all the enemy troops in front of them will be scattered.

   Stretching for several miles, there are corpses everywhere by the river, and some corpses are floating in the river. Most of these corpses were left by the defeated soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, but the corpses of countless Mysore soldiers will soon be added.

  Among the defeated troops in Mysore, the only cavalry soldiers quickly fled the battlefield and went back to report.

  Dada Wodeya led the King's Guard and the capital's garrison, and was speeding up his march to receive the goods. Halfway through the journey, he heard the news of the defeat.

   "Hurry up and line up!"

  The king was so terrified that he rode forward himself and ordered the soldiers to line up in armor.

  Then, the overwhelmed one's own routs fled back, and the king ordered the musketeers to shoot immediately, and the archers also shot towards the front of the formation, lest the formation be overwhelmed by one's rout.

  The first wave of rout soldiers, facing the bullets and arrows, really fled to both sides in a panic. But the second and third waves of rout soldiers didn't care about them. Sun Kewang chased them too fast, and they rushed directly towards the formation while their own army was filling the strings.

  Mysore's melee units stepped forward, firing their knives and guns, aiming at the defeated soldiers indiscriminately.

  After killing some rout soldiers, the rest of the rout soldiers finally knew how to dodge and fled around the formation to both sides. This back and forth not only blocked the line of sight of the Mysore army, but also disrupted the formation of the Mysore army.

  The cavalry led by Sun Kewang, hiding behind the third wave of rout troops, quickly rushed to the mixed formation of the enemy's sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, and archers.

  The Mysore army, which had been panicking for a long time, charged directly in front of the cavalry. The front row was so frightened that it turned around and wanted to flee, and collided with the friendly troops in the back row. There was no formation to speak of, and the enemy army quickly disintegrated, and the team of more than 1,000 people was pierced by more than 400 cavalry.

   Immediately afterwards, Sun Kewang didn't rush to kill the king's guard, but circled back to attack the enemy formation on the side.

  The enemy army was attacked by Sun Kewang on the side and rear, and the front and side were broken again. They also broke down in panic, dropped their weapons and flags and ran away.

   The speed of the rout was too fast, and Dawdya didn't even have time to change. He rushed into the reserve team in a panic, and Sun Kewang had already broken through the flanks and came back, turning around and rushing towards a group of musketeers panickingly reloading.

  Hundreds of musketeers were smashed through, and even fled with the spearmen and sword shieldmen next to them.

   Seeing this situation, the reserve team disregarded the order of the king, and the Kshatriya officer fled first.

   "Your Majesty, let's go!"

  Dada Wodeya was urged to flee by the generals, and he had to leave. The three thousand "elites" led by Pesra had entered their sight in a mess.

   More than 400 cavalry can no longer deal with it, not to mention the enemy has 3,000 infantry reinforcements.

  The king and nobles fled, and the precarious formation finally collapsed. Mysore soldiers rushed to flee, and were chased and killed by Sun Kewang's cavalry until they reached the small town of Taniguchi. These rout soldiers fled all over the mountains and plains.

  As for the king Dawdya, he fled quickly on horseback with the royal family and nobles. Sun Kewang's cavalry was blocked by the rout, and they couldn't catch up for a while.

   Chasing all the way into the valley, Sun Kewang ordered to stop advancing, turned around and continued to kill those rout soldiers.

  Peschra brought three thousand "elites" to fight there, and all he faced were routs. This guy killed everyone he saw, even those who knelt down and begged for mercy.

   "Your Majesty, the enemy is not chasing you!"

  In the valley, Dodo Wodeya looked around on horseback. He led an army of 20,000 to the expedition, and there were only a few dozen nobles left.

Doda Wodeya said to his son: "You go back on horseback, negotiate peace with the Chinese, and agree to whatever compensation you want first. Also, say that Mysore is willing to form an alliance with them, and I will marry your sister to the Chinese king I will rush back to Mysore City immediately to recruit soldiers, otherwise the news of the defeat will come back, and those remnants of the royal family and nobles will rebel!"

  This great victory wiped out the Mysore army.

  The battle is over, and the rebel nobles in the north are still halfway, slowly heading towards Taiwu City.

  Zhao Kuangtang sent people to various villages to spread the news, saying that the Han army wiped out 50,000 Madurai troops in World War I, forcing the Sultan of Madurai to sign an alliance under the city. The second battle wiped out another 100,000 troops from Mysore, and the King of Mysore was forced to pay compensation and make peace.

   Now, His Royal Highness King Jin's troops already numbered 200,000 people, and they were on their way to Beijing to suppress the rebellion.

  His Royal Highness King Jin is merciful, and only punishes the chief villain, and those who are forced to rebel can be forgiven.

  The local nobles who were held hostage by the rebels were frightened by a series of news. Before the Han army approached, the rebel army split up. The local nobles joined forces to attack the princes of Canmei City, and finally sent the heads of several rebel princes.

  After this campaign, the western and northern parts of the Jin Kingdom were devastated, and cities and villages were severely damaged.

  But with the prestigious name of the King of Jin, the surrounding countries all knew that the Chinese army was not easy to mess with, so they sent envoys to get closer to each other.

  Zhao Kuangtang also had three more concubines, one from Jinji Kingdom, one from Mysore, and one from Madurai, all of whom were married princesses.

  Finally, we can develop our internal affairs with peace of mind.
