Chapter 1135 The task of suppressing bandits is completed

This mistake in tactical choice is mainly due to lack of experience. Although the Wanjia Army is the most powerful bandit armed force in Dengzhou, its combat targets are often civilian armed forces of the same level or even more amateurs. They have fought against real professional armies many times.

Not many. Especially the Haihan Army, an armed organization with relatively "alternative" tactics. Gan Qiang had never had contact with it before. He was extremely uncomfortable with the Haihan Army's combat method of using firecrackers and artillery as its main weapons. In previous battles,

After suffering heavy losses, I subconsciously believe that only by increasing the distance between battles can we reduce our own losses.

Another reason is that Gan Qiang believes that in the current combat environment, Haihan's cavalry has been defeated, and there is no need to rush to launch a general attack. He can also trap the people in the temple to death by surrounding them outside. Here

Under such circumstances, Gan Qiang naturally did not want to let his few men risk their lives in a charge. However, this gave Haihan enough reaction time, and he even lost the chance to recover his capital.

The special operations battalion lurking in the mountains and forests had already seen the battlefield situation clearly before launching the attack, and also knew the strength of the opponent, and had a battle plan arranged in advance. However, Gan Qiang did not expect that there was already a team of hundreds of people.

The armed forces are lurking in the mountains and forests not far from the battlefield. What's even more terrible is that this time the opponent is the special operations battalion of the Haihan Army, which is famous for its expertise in mountain and jungle combat. Even if it is well prepared, it may not be able to defeat it, let alone the enemy.

No more defense.

When someone spotted the enemy attacking from behind, the soldiers of the special operations battalion were already less than 20 meters away from the bandits. Before they could realize what had happened, they were greeted by a round of volleys of musketry.

Shoot, more than ten people fell down immediately.

Sun Zhen in the temple also heard the gunshots coming from outside, and felt relieved at the moment. When he turned around, he saw Gan Sheng still kneeling on the ground, muttering to the remains of the statue in the main hall, and immediately lifted him up: "Don't leave."

I'm scared, reinforcements have arrived!"

After Gan Sheng arrived at this place, he knew that there would be a fight between the two sides. Although neither side should attack him, among the rebels, swords and guns had no eyesight. After the fight, no one could care about the other. He had no way to restrain the chicken.

He was unable to defend himself, so he could only kneel on the ground and pray for God's blessing.

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 prisoners of war after the war. Moreover, people like Gan Sheng who abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side will also be in trouble in the future.

It can be used as an example of Haihan's local propaganda policy - if it dies, it will be of no use at all.

Now that reinforcements have arrived, the safety of these people in the temple is basically not a problem. The bandits just had time to launch a wave of sporadic offensives from the outside. They were repulsed by the Haihan soldiers hidden in the hall before they even got close. There were not many people inside the hall.

There were no casualties. Only one horse was hit by random arrows shot from the forest outside the hall. Fortunately, the cavalry tied the horse in advance, so the frightened horse did not run away and cause greater chaos.

This is much better than what Sun Zhen expected before entering the mountain. Considering that the opponent has set up an ambush, their team must take on the task of attracting firepower, and there is no fixed number of how long it will take for reinforcements to arrive on the battlefield after the war begins.

It is very likely that they will have to face ten times more enemies. Sun Zhen and others were already prepared for a hard fight, but they did not expect reinforcements to arrive much faster than expected. They had just finished testing each other, and reinforcements were already there.

The enemy is attacking from behind.

Most of the bandits who participated in the war outside Fushan County are now doing hard labor on Zhifu Island. Most of the bandits currently ambushing in the mountains have never fought against the Haihan Army. They have no idea about the Haihan Army's fighting methods and

They also lacked understanding of their strength. At the beginning of the battle, they didn't even understand the opponent's fighting method. They were already hit by several waves of musket fire. As the gunfire sounded, the bandits fell neatly like harvested rice.

Go down.

During this period, some people reacted and tried to use shields to neutralize the opponent's attack. However, the wooden and vine shields in their hands could not block the bullets fired at close range, and could not even slow down the opponent's attack. Moreover, these bandits were

It was Gan Qiang who temporarily recruited troops from various strongholds to make up the numbers, and there was no combat discipline at all. As soon as they saw their accomplices being killed and wounded quickly by their opponents, many people immediately turned around and ran away. Even if Haihan's offensive was described as devastating,

No exaggeration.

Of course Gan Qiang also noticed something strange, but he was still half a mile away from the battle site. He could only vaguely see the chaos in that place, mixed with neat gunshots and messy massacres.

Shouting. Before he could figure out what was happening, he was also attacked by unknown armed men.

Takahashi Minami knew that it was very difficult to capture an opponent organically in jungle warfare, and if he was not careful, he would pay a high price for it. Therefore, from the time he formulated the combat plan, he had no intention of capturing prisoners alive as one of the combat goals.

, the order issued before the war was to kill all those who resisted. Although he also knew that not all bandits were heinous, but when it was time to deal with the problem ruthlessly, he would never talk about kindness to his opponents.

The action of annihilating the remnants of the Wanjia Army was not only to eradicate the weeds, but also to clear the mountainous areas in the western part of Fushan County to prepare for the subsequent development of copper mines. In the past, Gaoqiao Nan had no news of this level.

The qualifications were known in advance, but Qian Tiandun had already told him the news before setting off this time, which was undoubtedly an increase in his trust.

Gao Qiaonan did not get carried away because Qian Tiandun clearly stated the purpose of doing so, which was to let him understand the necessity of wiping out the remnants of the Wanjia Army for the development of copper mines. Simply defeating these bandits would not be able to completely

In order to improve the security situation in this area, Gao Qiaonan took advantage of the opportunity to come to Cishan to arrest Gan Qiang. He was determined to uproot the remaining members of the Wanjia Army and clear the last obstacle for Haihan to develop the Fushan Copper Mine.

Based on this purpose, Gao Qiaonan's request for the troops is to annihilate as much as possible rather than just defeat these bandits. Enemies who try to resist or escape are priority targets. There are tens of thousands of ready-made laborers in Liaodong Pi Island.

During the period, Zhifu Island was gradually imported, so Haihan's need for labor was not so urgent. Takahashi Minami did not want to take greater risks in order to capture alive prisoners of war, so he issued seemingly cold-blooded combat orders.

As soon as Gan Qiang heard gunshots rang out nearby, he immediately realized that the Haihan soldiers must have been approaching. His own troops had clearly trapped the Haihan cavalry in the deserted temple, so why did a large group of Haihan soldiers appear?

, this immediately raised a lot of big question marks in Gan Qiang's mind. The only possible explanation is that the Haihan people played a trick. The people who entered the mountain were far more than just the people hiding in the deserted temple, but secretly arranged people.

Calculate yourself.

A lot of swear words popped into Gan Qiang's mind at this time. He had clearly arranged for manpower to be on duty at key points on the road into the mountain. Why didn't he even send out the slightest warning? This matter was clearly well planned, so why was there a large sea team?

Han soldiers lurked into the mountains? Apparently Gan Sheng had asked a messenger to report him before, claiming that the plan was progressing smoothly and had gained the full trust of the Haihan people.

Wait! Gan Qiang suddenly reacted. After he decided on the ambush location, he only sent a letter explaining the action plan to Gan Sheng. In order to keep it secret, he even added a fire paint seal. The Haihan people could arrange it quietly.

After a large team of people touched this place, the only person who betrayed him was probably Gan Sheng, the only insider! This damn traitor!

Gan Qiang knew where he had lost because of his calculated calculations, and he had been hastily concentrating his manpower on Cishan in the past few days, hoping to set up an ambush to cause the Haihan people to suffer a little, but he did not expect that after repeated calculations, he finally fell into the ambush

But it’s myself!

However, there was no time for him to hurt Chun Beiqiu at the moment. Haihan soldiers had already gained the advantage on the scene almost the moment they appeared. Gan Qiang's mob had no idea that their opponents would appear nearby like divine soldiers and generals.

After putting up a token resistance, it quickly collapsed under the fire of muskets.

Seeing that the situation was over, Gan Qiang had no intention of fighting to the end with the Haihan Army. He immediately put his life first and headed into the mountain forest to the west. He was quite familiar with the terrain of Cishan and knew that his only way out was to go along the way.

Follow the mountains to the west to evacuate the battlefield, and then retreat southward into the vast mountains between Fushan County and Qixia County. If you want to take revenge on the Haihan people, you must first get out of here alive. Gan Qiang has already lost once

, I really can’t muster the courage to fight Haihan now.

Gao Qiaonan quickly discovered the main enemy force that was retreating hastily from the chaos. The white flag with black characters on the Gan character was too conspicuous in the forest. It was a clearly visible road sign. Gao Qiaonan

The main target of this mountain battle was Gan Qiang. Naturally, he would not let him go and immediately ordered his troops to pursue him one after another.

Gan Qiang led his team and ran for as long as a stick of incense. When he turned around, he saw that his own soldiers were still holding flags, and the enemy troops were chasing after them from a distance visible to the naked eye. He immediately kicked him

He walked over and said: "Are you stupid? Throw the flag away quickly! I'm afraid that the Haihan people can't find me!"

Gan Qiang found that the Haihan Army was in hot pursuit, and countermeasures were not useless. He organized two volleys on the way, but the results were both collapse at first sight. The bandits with weak fighting will simply did not have the determination to fight their opponents. This kind of

Intercepting and even delaying time are very limited. If they were not familiar with the terrain and escaped quickly enough, Gan Qiang and his men would not even have a chance to escape Cishan.

Two hours later, the bandits finally escaped from Cishan from the southern foot. To the south was a plain terrain of about twenty miles, and then they entered the mountainous area covering hundreds of square kilometers that Gan Qiang was counting on.

After several days of hard work to assemble the manpower, only about a hundred people escaped from Cishan with Gan Qiang. In the brief confrontation with the Haihan Army, more than half of the manpower was lost, and some people were still on the run.

He collapsed midway due to lack of physical strength. These men were already the few remaining members of the Wanjia Army. Unexpectedly, they were all lost in just one morning. It would take at least several months to recruit another group of men.

time - this can only be achieved if Haihan no longer gets in the way.

When Gan Qiang thought that he had been patient for several years and finally waited for the opportunity to take over the Wanjia Army, but he did not expect that the Haihan people would crush Huang Liang's dream in one fell swoop. At that moment, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Gan Qiang secretly swore in his heart,

When he comes back one day, he must catch the traitor Gan Sheng and cut him into pieces in public to vent his anger.

However, if he wanted to retaliate against Gan Sheng, he had to get rid of the chasing troops behind him first. Gan Qiang originally thought that the Haihan soldiers would be like the last time they fought in Fushan County. After winning, they would symbolically pursue for a while and then retreat.

, but the situation this time is obviously a little different. They have already left Cishan, and the pursuers behind are still following at a steady speed, only half a mile away. It seems that they are not close.

I don't intend to let myself go just yet.

Gan Qiang asked himself that he had never had any trouble with Haihan in the past. Seeing his opponent chasing him so relentlessly, he became even more angry. The physical conditions of the bandits under him were uneven, and they almost lost people while running away.

After a person's physical strength is exhausted, he falls to the ground while running and cannot get up, which in turn causes greater psychological panic to other accomplices.

Gan Qiang now regrets that he did not arrange some horses outside Cishan. Otherwise, it might be easier to escape by galloping at this time. Now he is running on his own two legs and does not dare to stop to rest. He only feels that two

The legs are getting heavier and heavier, and all the weight on the body has been thrown away. If I want to continue to reduce the burden, I can only take off my clothes and take off my pants.

"Gujia Village is ahead. Let's take shelter in the village first!" Gan Qiang knew that if he continued to escape, he would soon run out of energy like everyone else. At the moment, he could only choose to hide in a nearby village for a while until his energy recovered.

After one o'clock, we can continue our escape.

This Gujia Village used to be a village under the control of the Wanjia Army. There were only thirty or forty households in the village. After Gan Qiang and his group rushed into the village, it was inevitable that there would be another uproar.

"We're entering the village!" Gao Qiaonan quickly caught up here. He didn't rashly direct the soldiers to chase in. He first used a telescope to observe the situation in the village. It was basically certain that this place could not have been set up by Gan Qiang in advance.

Another ambush.

"Guard the road in and out of the village, don't let anyone go!" Gao Qiaonan ordered: "Use the squad as a unit, from north to south, search house by house. No matter life or death, we must catch Gan Qiang!"

There were two platoons following Gao Qiaonan all the way here. The first platoon was on guard outside the village, guarding the southeast, northwest and entrance gates outside the village. The other platoon, led by Gao Qiaonan, entered the village to hunt for bandits.
