Chapter 38 Siege of Jiadi

These losses now are just for greater gains in the future!

Yes, in his eyes, the casualties of these natives were losses, a loss for the Xia Kingdom.

He didn't have any pity, he just felt that the current speed was a bit slow, but there was no way, for the safety of these new recruits, he had to let them practice first!

"Speed ​​up! Try to complete the cleaning of the battlefield before dark!"

Zhang Wei saw that the soldiers who had gone through several battles had become an elite force, so he ordered to speed up.

After these few days, everything that needs to be experienced and tempered has been completed. The next step is to complete your mission!

The sky has completely darkened, and the soldiers are resting in the camp that originally belonged to this tribe. After fighting and cleaning the battlefield for most of the day, they are all tired now!

When the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they would patch up the wounded and wounded when they saw them. Those who pretended to be dead or surrendered would be tied up and sent to the rear security office. They would arrange for militiamen to escort these prisoners.

Those who can be escorted to the rear are all 'young and strong', not the old or the weak! The method for dealing with the old and the weak who are left behind and cannot run away is very simple...

Zhang Wei was in the main tent, looking at the information in his hand, which was sent from several other places.

According to the intelligence, the second and third columns are progressing smoothly and have reached the expected combat positions. The encirclement of the light cavalry formation is also shrinking with their attack.

The light cavalry can be said to be very busy to ensure that no fish slips through the net and can escape from their encirclement.

Patrolling all the time, when encountering the fleeing natives, they would go forward to drive them away, and those who could not be driven away would be dealt with on the spot.

Due to time constraints, these cleared indigenous corpses were not taken care of, so as the encirclement narrowed, many remains were left on the wasteland. From now on, this place can be regarded as a paradise for wild beasts!

They advanced all the way, cleaning and driving, and in the end, after encountering a tribe, they had already abandoned their camp and fled before they started attacking!

Even on the ninth day, a large number of empty camps appeared in front of them. Zhang Wei and the others did not need to drive them away, and the other parties consciously fled towards the center of the encirclement!

Day 10! It’s time to launch a general attack!

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Wei was still riding his beloved war horse, standing on a high place, overlooking the battlefield!

At this moment, all the soldiers in the guard camp have surrounded this large camp!

On the outermost edge are 350 light cavalry running around the battlefield to prevent the enemy from escaping from the encirclement!

The infantry were divided into three directions facing the middle formation, the first column to the north, the third column to the southeast, and the third column to the southwest!

They are all ready, just waiting for the moment to launch the attack!

And the large tribe surrounded in the middle was also very turbulent.

Due to being expelled, the current large tribe 'A' is already overcrowded. According to the intelligence collected, it is estimated that there are more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 young and strong natives!

At this time, under the organization of this large tribe, everyone gathered in this camp. It was noisy and there was not much intention to fight!

This is due to Zhang Wei's failure to order an all-out killing, letting the enemy know how terrible he is and damaging the enemy's morale!

Zhang Wei saw that the encirclement had been completed and said to Yu Shu: "Sima, let the people from the Intelligence Bureau persuade you to surrender!"

In order to facilitate communication between the two parties, Yang Song asked Chen Ping to send several intelligence personnel who could speak native languages ​​to support Zhang Wei.

"Yes, my subordinates will go now!" Yu Shu, as the number two figure in the guard camp, has gone through more than ten days of battlefield training, and his face is already full of weather!

Yu Shu was a scholar before he joined the army. Although he joined the army and was reused, his body is still not as strong as these soldiers who have undergone long-term training!

Soon, a horse rushed out from behind, ran to the commotion on the opposite side, and shouted loudly!

The crowd on the opposite side looked at this ‘devil’ who could speak their language! There was another commotion!

After a while, a sturdy native walked out of the crowd on the opposite side, holding a thick stone stick and shouting the same words to this side!

While shouting for communication, before even a few words were exchanged, I saw the sturdy native opposite yelling angrily, turning around and walking into the crowd!

The intelligence officer sent to persuade Zhang Wei to surrender also rode his horse back to Zhang Wei and reported to him.

"Battle Commander Zhang! The other party is unwilling to surrender. They say that they have so many people and we only have so few people who are no match for them. They also say that asking him to surrender would be humiliating him! The other party is about to launch an attack!"

"Haha~ You actually want to take the lead in attacking?" After Zhang Wei heard the report, he laughed and said: "Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest, the next step is our business!"

Zhang Wei originally did not expect the other party to surrender, and it was impossible for the other party to surrender.

If he himself had nearly 3,000 'warriors' and the other party only had a little over 1,000 people, he would not surrender!

However, fighting is not about comparing who has more people. Maybe in this wilderness, the concept that more people means power is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

And he, Zhang Wei, is going to teach these southern barbarians and indigenous people today that having a large number of people sometimes doesn’t mean anything!

"Order! The infantry must speed up to rendezvous with our formation!"

Although the other two columns are not in the same direction as the main column, they are not far away. Because this camp is only so big, they are only a few hundred meters away from the first column!

Zhang Wei saw that the opponent's crowd gradually became quiet after a period of commotion. This was a sign of an imminent attack!

He then ordered: "Order! The light cavalry formation must be assembled in the eastern part of the battlefield and prepare to charge!"

Since the opponent wants to fight him head-on, there is no need for the light cavalry who are preparing to defend and escape to patrol the perimeter!

Soon, the second column and the third column joined him and formed on the left and right sides of the first column.

At this time, the crowd on the opposite side began to attack with sticks, wooden spears, and stone spears amid a burst of shouting!

Although no matter what, he was not vain, but seeing the opponent waiting for him to finish the formation before launching an attack, Zhang Wei almost wanted to laugh!

"Stupid!" Zhang Wei looked at this scene, said something in his mouth, and ordered.

"Order! Beat the war drum~!"

"Defensive formation deployed!"

"The light cavalry formation is ready to charge!"

The leader on the opposite side should be planning to wipe out his guard camp in one fell swoop!

Zhang Wei looked at the impact from the opposite side. The group charge of nearly 3,000 people still looked very spectacular!

"Order the long-distance attack group. Once the enemy comes into range, don't be polite!"

After Zhang Wei's order was issued, the rhythm of the war drums also changed, and the horns also began to make the sound of attack!

Coupled with Ling Qi's command, frontline officers and soldiers will not miss every order he issues!

"Sima, notify me when the light cavalry formation is completed!"

Zhang Wei is now looking at the battlefield in front of him with concentration, he is afraid that he will not notice it!

Yu Shu cupped his fists on the horse and said, "Yes! Battalion Commander!"
Chapter completed!
