Chapter 249 (1/2)

After the preparation of the left Shence army, he took 10000 prisoners straight north. Because there was enough food and grass, he didn't embarrass the prisoners on the way, but regarded them as a logistics team.

After screening, some of the prisoners who committed minor crimes were promoted as leaders. Li Chengye also promised them that, regardless of the seriousness of the crime, if they can make war achievements, those who commit serious crimes can reduce the punishment, and those who commit minor crimes will have the opportunity to join the Zuo Shence army.

The treatment of the Shence army is well known all over the world. If it were not for the financial restrictions of the imperial court, the Tang royal family could even directly use money to buy all the dental soldiers of all the vassal towns into the Shence army.

This promise greatly increased the enthusiasm of the 10000 prisoners, and they did their best to deal with all kinds of sundries all the way, with high efficiency. This also makes the March more efficient.

When he set out, Wei Ran's injury had healed, and everyone in the army was smacking his tongue. Now everyone in the army looks respectful when they see Wei Ran. When they meet, they salute on their own initiative and say that they are less general.

The young general is no longer the respect he used to see in his father's face, but from his heart. Even if he is just a seven grade Zhiguo school captain and a new officer, no one dares to doubt that the height he can reach in the future is likely to be comparable to Li Chengye.

His exploits were real, and the Jedi's plan to fight back was well known. He had both wisdom and courage, but he was only rewarded by the imperial court for his military exploits.

Wei Ran led the scouts to reconnoitre in the first 50 li of the army. When they approached Xingyang, they met the fugitive anti thieves. After capturing several waves of people, I knew that these people had escaped from Xuzhou.

They reported the news of Wang Xianzhi's death to the leaders of the bandits. The leaders of the bandits were shocked and didn't believe it, and executed many defeated soldiers who escaped from Xuzhou. The group felt they couldn't stay any longer, so they looked for a chance to escape.

When Wei Ran thought of this, he discussed with Li Chengye, took Wang Xianzhi's big flag and bugle flag among the cavalry, and then hung Wang Xianzhi's armor head on the flagpole.

Then he led the cavalry to charge the invaders who besieged Wulang pass. In fact, the lethality was not great, and only broke through the army of 20000 people. But the impact was like a nuclear bomb explosion, which broke out in the anti thief camp that night.

Many thieves and generals have seen Wang Xianzhi's two flags and his own head armor, which can't be fake anyway.

In addition, the combat effectiveness and morale shown by the elite cavalry of the Zuo Shence army let the thieves know that the official Army really returned after victory, otherwise the defeated army could not maintain such morale.

So that night, the anti thief camp was in a mess. Inside, many people took photos of the reputation of the left Shence army and began to flee from the camp in groups. Even some bandit leaders could not make up their minds and could not stop the actions of the soldiers at the bottom. Finally, they had to lead their own soldiers to flee to Hebei road.

Of course, some thieves will want to avenge Wang Xianzhi and suppress the fleeing soldiers with bloody means, resulting in a mutiny and a riot in the camp.

Li Chengye had been staring at the situation here for a long time. That night, he sent steps and horses to attack together. In addition, the Shence border army transferred from Fan Yang to wulaoguan also saw the opportunity and launched a counterattack at the same time.

Overnight, 300000 thief camps immediately collapsed, and the siege of wulaoguan collapsed.

At least 100000 prisoners were captured. Of course, many thieves fled. After Li Chengye contacted the Shence border army in wulaoguan and took over the command, he ordered to continue to pursue exile and drive north without giving the thief army a chance to develop.

At the same time, the township brave regiments in Henan Road and Hebei road were called on to work together to besiege the fleeing bandits, so as not to give them a chance to breathe.

Instead of following Li Chengye in pursuit of the remnant bandits, Wei Ran stayed in wulaoguan to guard the gateway of the eastern capital. At the same time, he supervised 100000 thief Army prisoners and waited for the instructions of the imperial court. Li Guangsi continued to pursue exile with his father and continued to learn the art of war in actual combat.

The Jianghu people in the army, including Bu Lanshan, saw that the overall situation had been decided, so they left one after another, and Li Chengye didn't stay much. When Bu Lanshan left, he invited Wei Ran to visit Qixia sword sect if he had time to enter Shu.
