Chapter 57 Military Change (2)

But when Fan Tong's personal soldiers saw Xue Bing want to leave, they shouted: "Don't leave the enemy general, and fight with me for a hundred rounds!"

When Xue Bing heard this, she sneered in her heart. When she heard the sound, she hurriedly strangled the horse, turned her head, and reached out. The personal soldier seemed to have never expected Xue Bing to turn around suddenly, and she didn't react for a moment. She paused for a moment. However, just this time, she reached in front of him, grabbed the armor belt in front of him, and then she felt her body lightening, and her whole body seemed to fly up.

Bang!

Xue Bing grabbed the man with one hand, then used his strength to lift him up and threw him to the ground. After the man was thrown, he felt that his body was hurt everywhere, and he could not see the surroundings.

"Tie with me!" After Xue Bing threw the man to the ground, he immediately ordered the left and right guards. At this time, Fan Tong's guard who ran out with the man also came closer and a spear had already stabbed in front of him. Xue Bing's face did not change his expression, and grabbed the spear with his left hand. The man opposite pulled it a few times, but he didn't pull it out at all. He was shocked and was about to abandon the gun, but unexpectedly, as soon as he let go of the spear, Xue Bing immediately held the gun and swept back with one shot. The man was plucking his horse and was about to escape. This sweep just swept the man's waist, and he heard a crisp sound. The man was swept away a long distance from his horse before falling to the ground, and his whole body was twisted strangely, and he saw that he couldn't survive.

Xue Bing held the spear instead, looked at the corpse that was swept out by him, then looked at the strong man who had been tied up by his own personal soldiers, chuckled. He threw the spear and said, "Let's go back!" Then he led everyone to slowly retreat back to the village.

When Fan Tong saw that the thousands of soldiers killed and captured one person when they were underestimated, they were shocked by Xue Bing's courage, and none of them dared to chase him.

Back at the big village, Xue Bing and Yan Yan headed straight to the big tent, and behind him was the guard who had just been captured. After entering the big tent, Xue Bing sat down on the top and Yan Yan turned left. Xue Bing asked the person who had just been captured, "What name do you call him?"

The personal guard saw Yan Yan still sitting next to him, and knew that he had previously guessed that this person was the commander of the army, so he replied: "A certain surname is Lai, and his name is Changyi. The personal guard next to General Fan."

After hearing this, Xue Bing smiled and said, "But Fan Tong, the current princess, is Fan Tong?"

Lai Changyi replied: "Yes!"

When Xue Bing heard this, she smiled and shouted angrily: "Why are you going back?"

After hearing this, Lai Changyi was not afraid at all and said loudly: "The lord is unkind, the superiors are unfair, the labor service increases, and the food and salary decreases. How can we not rebel?"

When Xue Bing heard this, she felt amazement and thought to herself: "Is there really something inside?" Then she asked: "How is the lord unkind? How is the superior official unfair? Let's talk about it in detail!" After that, she ordered the soldiers on both sides to loosen their ties.

Seeing that he was generous to others, Lai Changyi replied: "We have been in the army for many years to protect the country and the people. Even if we have not made any contribution, we have worked hard. Now, although we have not made any contribution, we have not made any mistakes. However, we have cut military pay, increased the number of military farms, and the number of patrols during the day is more frequent. The increase in official duties and the reduction of money and food. What is the reason? Moreover, many veterans were ordered to discharge the army, but they did not give up any land, asking them to live? We wanted to find Shangguan theory, but they always refused to see each other. How could we not rebel like this?"

When Xue Bing heard this, she was sweating profusely and thought to herself, "Why did Ba County do this like this?" She looked at Yan Yan, and saw that he was also shocked and asked anxiously: "Who is the one who presided over the disarmament in Ba County?"

Lai Changyi said: "It is Deng Chuan, deputy general of Lei Tong."

After hearing this, Xue Bing asked Yan Yan: "Who is this? Does General Yan know about it?"

Yan Yan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "When I was in office, I have heard of this person."

At this time, Lai Changyi said, "This person was promoted to his deputy general shortly after General Lei took office. General Lei gave him the position as the main secret, and many things were left to this person."

When Xue Bing heard this, he understood that the key to this matter was this person. This person was probably a spy sent by other forces to disrupt Liu Bei's army, or someone sent by Liu Zhang. However, no matter which one it was, he needed to find this person first and then asked: "Where is this person now?"

Yan Yan said: "After General Lei Tong broke through and returned, there were only dozens of personal guards around him, and there were no deputy generals."

Lai Changyi also said: "After we waited for the incident, we couldn't find this person, but we just said that we escaped with General Lei."

After hearing this, Xue Bing said, "Then it is clear that this matter must be Deng Chuan's secret interference, which has caused the disarmament of Ba County to go on." After saying that, he said to Lai Changyi: "This disarmament strategy is to select elite soldiers to form elite troops, and to remove older and poor health from the army. As for what you said, the increase in labor and the decrease in food and salary, it is a bit untrue."

Lai Changyi has been listening to this for so long, but he still can't hear that there is a big strange thing about this? Then he bowed and said, "We are deceived and made a big mistake. Please punish the general."

Xue Bing said: "You are not wrong, you will be exempted from punishment! I will let you go back now, and you will explain in detail to the soldiers in the army. Disarmament is to form elite troops and eliminate those who are insufficient in combat power. In addition, those who are excluded from the army are not those who are abandoned by the lord. We will distribute farmland and farm tools to them, so that they can have the capital to live. In addition, although there is a matter of reducing food and salary, it is because the labor time of the local corps increases, the training time decreases, and you do not have to be responsible for the security of the city..." Xue Bing said these things in detail, and explained them item by item, before letting them go.

Seeing him leaving, Yan Yan said to Xue Bing: "Why would you call me and my party? With my prestige, I think these people will be more likely to listen to it."

Xue Bing said: "Let's ask this person to go back and talk, instead of listening, let's find out how his reaction is! I always feel that this matter will not be solved so simply."

Yan Yan said: "General Xue is worried that there are still people in the city who have strange intentions."

Xue Bing said: "That's right, General Yan remembers that when these people raised an army, they wanted to take Liu Zhang and Liu Jiyu into Sichuan?"

Yan Yan looked a little embarrassed when she heard this, and then said, "Can General Xue think he is from Liu Zhang's sect?"

Xue Bing pretended not to see it and continued, "No, this may be just a statement from the man to divert our attention. They just wanted us to fall into chaos. It might be sent by Cao Cao or Sun Quan."

Yan Yan said: "If this is true, I am afraid that there will be a battle tomorrow!"

Xue Bing just nodded without saying anything.

At this moment, the left and right came to report, saying, "Lai Changyi returned to the city of Ba County for a long time, but Fan Tong of Ba County had no intention of surrendering."

Xue Bing said to Yan Yan: "I think there are others in the city who control this army. We will definitely fight tomorrow! General Yan, please rest first, and fight with me tomorrow."

After hearing this, Yan Yan sighed inwardly, said goodbye to Xue Bing, and left the tent.

The next day, the sun shone brightly, and Xue Bing set up a 5,000 army outside the city. He wore armor and halberds, stood in front of the formation, and attacked the city walls of Wangba County from afar.

After a while, the gate of Bajun opened wide, and a group of people rushed out. When they saw that there were about 10,000 people, all of them were black. This was also a formation, facing Xue Bing's army far away.

Both sides looked away for a moment, Yan Yan took the lead in the battle and shouted: "Lai Changyi was released yesterday, and asked him to explain the disarmament. Since you know that someone was interfering with it, why did you still lead the army to resist? Why didn't you put down your weapons early and surrender and apologize?"

At this time, a general came out of the army opposite. It was Fan Tong, the head of the army. He was wearing a chain mail and carrying a pair of sled hammers. He looked a bit like a general. He said to Yan Yan from afar: "I respect General Yan, but it does not mean that I am afraid of you. You said a few words and wanted me to surrender. Will you be dragged out to behead him?" Then he said to the left and right: "Brothers, don't listen to the words of this old man. He is ruling us. If we rebel today, he will definitely not spare us. If we surrender, it is like dying. Think about it, we have never made any mistakes in the guarding place, and they will detain our food and salary. Now we rebel, how can we be innocent? Let's repel this man first, and then ask Liu Yizhou to return to Sichuan and regain the power of Shu." The soldiers on both sides felt even more and more ignorant of what to do when they heard this, so they had to stand behind Fan Tong with weapons.

Yan Yan heard this from a distance, and was so angry that his beard trembled. He wanted to rush forward with a knife and kill this nonsense man to death.

Xue Bing looked around and said to Yan Yan: "Don't be angry at the old general. It seems that this person is also a spy from the enemy. I'm afraid that a big battle will inevitably occur today.

Yan Yan said angrily: "This shameless person has caused tens of thousands of soldiers in Ba County! I will tear this person away!" Then he said to Xue Bing: "General Xue, I ask for a fight!"

Xue Bing said, "Even if the old general wants to fight, the man on the other side dares not!" After saying that, he pointed to the distance. Yan Yan looked back and saw that Fan Tong retreated early, and countless elite soldiers around him protected him in the middle. Then he commanded the soldiers around him to frequently mobilize and slowly approach Xue Bing's army.

Xue Bing saw it clearly from afar and ordered to the left and right: "Come on the crossbowman!"

After ordering it, five thousand people immediately moved. The infantry that was standing in front dodged to the side, and a thousand bow-holders stood up first.

"Cheat up!"

A thousand archers faced the bow and arrow towards the sky. When the commander said, a thousand feather arrows flew high, and then drew an arc in the air and fell into the opposite army.

After a while, the sound of jingling was endless, and some soldiers without armor and shield protection were killed by this rain of arrows. However, these people had little impact on the army of tens of thousands and could not stop the advance of this army.

Xue Bing looked in front of the formation for a moment, and saw that it was getting closer, so he ordered: "Shoot!"

When the archer heard the order, he immediately adjusted his target and no longer aimed at the blue sky, but aimed at the enemy troops gradually approaching him.

At this time, Xue Bing ordered again: "Order the crossbowmen on both sides to prepare!"
