Chapter 328 Ge Dani and Hei Niu
“Simon’s army is down 40,000 to 50,000 men, but there are still over 100,000 left.
According to their route, they will first link up with Qumu's troops, then surround these three prefectures and counties, and annihilate our army in one fell swoop."
Bai Li was in the conference room, analyzing the war trends with several generals.
"Marshal Bai, since ambushes are so effective, let's use them a few more times. We can wipe out his 200,000-strong army without even fighting!"
A deputy general was dazzled by the easy victory and thought that he could return to the court with just a few more efforts.
“No, setting an ambush requires time. Simon’s army is not far from here, it’s too late.
Another factor is the location. There is no favorable terrain for an ambush in the direction of the army's advance. Setting up an ambush will only increase casualties and be ineffective."
"Oh, I didn't expect there were so many details involved in setting an ambush. I'm just being stupid!"
"It's okay. If you have anything to say, feel free to speak up. Let's discuss it with everyone."
Bai Li doesn't want to be the only one who has the final say. She hopes that all the soldiers and generals under her can express their opinions, and then brainstorm together to select the best plan and win the greatest victory with the least effort.
"We can't set an ambush now, so we can only confront them head-on. We can use our advantage in weapons.
For example, the crossbow and the Eight Ox Crossbow have a long range and great power, which they cannot match."
"Well, that's true. So, their numbers aren't that scary anymore!"
"Everyone should still take it seriously and never underestimate the enemy. You have to know that they are like ants trying to shake a tree. Their numbers are nearly ten times ours. We cannot underestimate them."
Although Bai Li was confident, she didn't want her soldiers to be careless because of their arrogance. The battlefield changes rapidly and any mistake could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
She wanted to bring back all the people she brought out and didn't want to leave them in a foreign country.
"Marshal Bai is right. We all listen to him."
Well, although I don’t have any good advice, soldiers who are obedient and absolutely follow orders are easy to lead.
Great Zhou.
When Zhou Yu learned that Simon had sent an army of 200,000 to besiege Baili, he immediately sent 50,000 troops to support them.
After the 50,000 soldiers were sent out, more than 10,000 people were sent to Simon to transport supplies.
In this team of more than 10,000 people, half are new recruits, both male and female. Bai Yue and Shangguan Ying are among them.
"Oh my god, how many days can you keep walking dozens of miles a day just by your own legs?"
Bai Yue supported her knees with her hands, gasping for breath, and felt like she was about to die.
"Hurry up, none of you can afford to be blamed for wasting time."
The leading small chief waved his whip and drove them away, even more ferociously than the yamen runners who escorted them during the exile.
"Humph! You're just a small sergeant, why are you so arrogant? You're just relying on the power of others!"
Shangguan Ying snorted lightly, venting her dissatisfaction with the young sergeant.
Her legs were almost broken from walking. Marching like this was even more tiring than when she first started practicing martial arts.
"We can't be so careless about human life even if we're in a hurry, right? If we don't rest now, our legs will break!"
"It's just that you female soldiers are too delicate. If you can't endure hardship, why don't you sign up for military service?"
The young sergeant glared at Shangguan Ying. Among these female soldiers, only these two were causing trouble. If it weren't for military rules and discipline, he would have driven them away long ago.
"Listen, isn't this discrimination against us female soldiers?
What do you mean we can't sign up for military service? The country needs us female soldiers. The emperor has issued an imperial decree, and you, a small sergeant, are you going to disobey it?!"
"you……!"
The young sergeant was so angry that he almost fell over. "I can't control you, but there's always someone who can control you. Just wait!"
The sergeant turned and left angrily, apparently going to complain to the team leader Nangong Zhao.
The Great Zhou sent more than 100,000 troops to attack Simon. The country was seriously short of troops, so all the newly recruited soldiers and reserve troops were used.
In order to help the Great Zhou conquer Simon, all the major families came to serve the country, some contributed money, and some contributed manpower.
The Nangong family still had some troops, so they sent 5,000 people with 5,000 new recruits, plus officials and soldiers who were escorting supplies, a total of 15,000 people formed an escort team.
Zhou Yu appointed Nangong Zhao as the commander of Pingxi, and he was in charge of this team. He was the highest-ranking general here.
Nangong Zhao is one year younger than Nangong Min. He has been learning martial arts and literacy since childhood and has extraordinary skills.
The sergeant found him and reported to him that the female soldiers under him were disobedient.
Nangong Zhaoying has handsome eyebrows and three-dimensional facial features, inheriting the beauty of the Nangong family.
I saw that his handsome brows were slightly furrowed and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
"That Ge Dani and Hei Niu again?"
“Yes, it was the two of them, complaining that they were tired from walking and wanted to rest.
But we are not even halfway through today’s journey…”
"It's almost noon. Let's find a forest to eat, drink some water and rest for half an hour."
"yes."
When the sergeant passed down the order, all the female soldiers who had been holding on with their teeth relaxed and wanted to sit down immediately.
"See, even a general has to be considerate of his subordinates. What if the sergeant complained? Captain Nangong wouldn't listen to him."
Shangguan Ying knew the human relationships and social customs in the barracks best. After saying this, he glanced proudly at the sergeant not far away.
Sergeant...
This dark and strong Ge Dani really makes people angry and hateful. According to her household registration, she is from a peasant family. I don’t know where she gets the confidence from, and she always wants to suppress him.
"Ge Dani, take a few people to collect firewood so we can light a fire and cook later."
We can't touch her openly, but she will have to endure many hardships.
"Why? Everyone else is resting, why should I go?"
Of course Shangguan Ying would not be obedient. When she was the team leader, he didn't even know where to get his milk!
"Everyone takes turns, don't you know? The Big Red team cooked yesterday, and today it's your team's turn."
The female soldiers were divided into groups of 100, and they took turns cooking for everyone on the way.
"you!"
"Let's go, Ge Dani!"
Bai Yue deliberately disgusted Shangguan Ying. Who told her to pick such a replacement name? It was so tacky!
"Hmph, I'm going to collect firewood. Hei Niu, Dayan, Xiao Hua, all of you follow me!"
Bai Yue, who was named Hei Nu...
Hei Niu, such a disgusting name, has now become her code name.
"Hei Niu, let's go!"
Bai Yue...
I wanted to say no, but Xiaohua held my arm and I couldn't help but move forward because of her.
Bai Yue wanted to go crazy and shout: Don’t call me Hei Niu!
At this time, Bai Li in Simon's territory and Simon's army were engaged in a fierce battle.
There are no more strategies or tactics for the two sides to fight against each other, they can only fight head-on!
Bai Li was afraid that the three counties would be cut off and captured separately by the enemy, so she took the initiative to launch an offensive without waiting for Simon's army to issue a declaration of war. She organized her troops into guerrilla warfare, assisting, feint attack, and main attack. She adopted a swift and fierce fighting style, using the powerful Eight Ox Crossbow that could defeat hundreds or thousands of enemies at once, and crossbows with a range of several thousand meters. She beat Simon's army without any chance of fighting back and forced them to retreat step by step.
