Chapter 96 The Way and the Way
(One update, red ticket!)
Xiao Tianjian silently put his hands behind his back, his lips tightened, and his eyes were filled with a trace of guilt and worry. He stood on the campus and listened carefully to the shouts of killing at the mountain gate.
Yan Chongxi stood behind him with a careless face, listening to the movement at the mountain gate, and even with a sneer.
Behind them, more than 400 Xingtian soldiers on the school campus sat neatly on the ground, with their hands on their knees. Although the scorching sun was on them and everyone was wet and sweating, no one dared to move or wiped the sweat on their faces. In the meantime, there will be firemen carrying picks, and there will be a bowl of boiled mung bean water in it for everyone to drink to relieve the summer heat.
The whole cottage was silent, and no one was talking loudly. There were only more than 400 soldiers and recruits who were about to fight. Everyone's weapons were placed on the ground at hand, within reach, and rows of long guns were neatly arranged beside everyone on the school yard.
Everyone quietly pricked up their ears to listen to the sound of gunfire, gunfire, shouting and scolding from the mountain gate. They all looked different, but no one whispered to each other.
In particular, many people look panicked or worried on the faces of the recruits, because they know that they will soon face the first battle in their lives. Whether they can win this battle is related to the lives of almost everyone present, and naturally includes their own lives, although looking at those officers We are very calm, but we haven't been in battle. After all, there is still a feeling in our hearts, so even if we sit on the ground to rest, our muscles seem to be tense, and some people are still trembling slightly.
The soldiers in the corps seemed to be much more relaxed. The muscles sitting on the ground were relaxed and did not waste any strength. Some people even narrowed their eyes and didn't listen and think too much. It seemed that the old monk was settled, waiting for their officers to order to get up.
The weather was really hot, so that after people drank the water, they soon turned into sweat. The big guy had been sitting for nearly two hours, but no one stood up to urinate. They just sat on the ground and waited for their palm plate to give orders.
Xiao Tianjian paced slowly on the edge of the campus leading to the mountain pass with his hands behind his back. He didn't want to think as much as possible, but he still couldn't control it. He turned around and walked to Yan Chongxi and whispered to Yan Chongxi, "Do you think those exiles can escape this disaster?"
Yan Chongxi saw Xiao Tianjian's guilt and replied solemnly, "If you go back to the plate, I don't know! Whether they can live or not depends on their own creation! You don't have to feel so guilty. You don't have a poisonous husband. These people can't live in the first place. It's best to escape. If you can't escape, you will get out of this sea of suffering! You can't save so many people now. When we have the ability one day, you might as well think about it again!"
Xiao Tianjian stared at Yan Chongxi. Today's idea was made by this guy. Since they came to Tianlong Village, there have been some drifters passing through here or defecting to them. Xiao Tianjian was a little kind-hearted and asked Jin Fuzi to take out some food and boil porridge to help some drifters who were about to starve to death outside the mountain. As soon as the news of Tianlongzhai's porridge spread, it actually attracted a large number of exiles to come to Tianlongzhai to beg for food. During this period, hundreds of people gathered outside waiting for porridge every day.
However, Xiao Tianjian's ability is limited at present, and he will no longer recruit more subordinates. He just gives some porridge to the exiles outside and pleases Xing Tianjun some good reputation. In the future, when he has greater strength, if he needs to recruit new soldiers, he hopes to cheer up, there will be a large number of exiles. Come and rely on him.
But this time when he heard that Li Fengtian, the old bastard, had gathered officers and soldiers and many villagers to come here to suppress him, his porridge to the exiles stopped for a while, hoping that those to the exiles could be separated by themselves.
But I didn't think that the rafts seemed to regard Tianlongzhai as the last life-saving straw. Even if they stopped pouring porridge, the savages refused to leave. They spontaneously formed a settlement near Tianlongzhai, waiting for Tianlongzhai to return porridge to them.
Yesterday, after Xiao Tianjian came back with Yan Chongxi and others to explore the situation of the enemy, he suddenly saw these exiles gathered outside Tianlongzhai. Only then did Xiao Tianjian remember that once the war started here, the officers and soldiers, like bandits, would definitely kill the heads of these exiles, so he wanted to inform these exiles and let them hurry up. Leave to avoid disaster.
However, Yan Chongxi's eyes turned, which prevented Xiao Tianjian from telling these exiles about the upcoming war, and said that it was confidential. Once they were informed of the exiles, they were not allowed to report to the officers and soldiers, so that those officers, soldiers and villagers were on guarded in advance.
Xiao Tianjian felt that Yan Chongxi's words were reasonable, so he returned to the cottage and continued to discuss with his men how to fight off the enemy, and finally made a very vicious plan.
The core of the plan is to use these exiles to tell them the truth before the officers and soldiers come, and send Shi Ran and others to take the exiles to escape from Tianlongzhai, use these exiles to escape in panic, attract part of the enemy's strength, and then attract most of the remaining officers and soldiers with a small number of manpower. Continue to attack the cottage.
Then in the end, they will take advantage of the unique terrain of Tianlongzhai to fight against the enemy inside Tianlongzhai.
This plan was put forward by Yan Chongxi. After Xiao Tianjian's analysis, he thought it was completely feasible and had a great chance of winning, but the only thing that made him a little unacceptable was to take the exiles gathered outside Tianlongzhai as bait to attract the enemy to chase them.
The exiles have no combat effectiveness. Once this plan is successful, it will definitely attract the cavalry in the enemy to pursue lightly. Under the pursuit of the enemy, the exiles can basically say that there is no hope of escape.
Xiao Tianjian was originally a little resistant to this practice in his heart, but later his subordinates agreed to the plan put forward by Yan Chongxi. Xiao Tianjian also figured out this matter. Those who knew that great things had to be unscure and have no husbands. This plan did have too much power for him, and he felt excited when he thought about it. So Xiao Tianjian finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth to make this plan.
Early this morning, Shi Ran's scouts passed back the enemy's distance. Just after the enemy approached Tianlongzhai, Xiao Tianjian ordered to inform the exiles outside the stockade and gather them together. Everyone sent them a cake prepared in advance and told them that the officers would come to attack Tianlongzhai. Let them leave this place quickly with Shi Ran and others, so as not to be harmed by the officers and soldiers.
At this time, the drifters panicked, and no one thought much about it. They took the cake and followed Shi Ran and others to the north. People all had the mentality of following the crowd. A large group of people gathered together and always felt that it would be safer. As a result, hundreds of people were wrapped in a ball like this. Panic He fled to the north in a panic, but few people left the team and fled scatteredly.
As expected, the enemy also sent sent sent outposts. They happened to see the escaped team, so they mistakenly thought that it was the pole of Tianlongzhai. After hearing about their arrival, they fled from Tianlongzhai and ran back to report it to the leader Ding Baoquan.
And Ding Bao didn't know whether it was a trick. He really sent troops and horses to chase the group of exiles. Then Li Shuanzhu led his men and pretended to have no time to escape, and attracted the remaining officers and soldiers and Xiang Yong to Tianlongzhai.
From the current point of view, their plan can be said to be very smooth. The enemy did not expect that the main force of Xing Tianjun did not leave Tianlongzhai at all, and all of them were still hidden in the cottage. When the enemy broke through the mountain gate and rushed into the village, they would give them a head-on attack.
The reason why they want to make such a plan is because of the quality of their equipment. Although Xiao Tianjian is now confident that he can defeat these enemies face to face in the wild, after all, their equipment is much different from that of officers and soldiers. Especially in terms of firearms, they only have more than a dozen all kinds of muskets, one If the tiger squat gun is short of ammunition, if they set up a battle array outside, they will have to withstand the long-range firepower of the enemy in the early stage.
And he has just trained so many hundreds of men, most of whom are new recruits who have not really seen blood in battle. He may be able to control them and the enemy's short soldiers when they are in battle, but he can't guarantee it at all. If they stand there, they will get a shot of enemy artillery, muskets and bows and arrows. Will the new recruits disperse on the spot? Once such a situation occurs, the result can be imagined.
So he doesn't dare to take this risk, so he has to catch his opponent off guard, and try his best not to let the opponent have the opportunity to use their artillery and those long-range anti-personnelt weapons such as bee rockets, so only by raiding the enemy can he have a chance to win.
But the problem is that he is seriously short of cavalry at present, and he has less than 20 people on hand. He can't play the role of attacking the enemy at all. Although it is also a gully outside Tianlongzhai, some places are still more suitable for Tibetan soldiers, but he can't guarantee that the enemy must be pig's head and will not be sent. Outposts explore around. Once the enemy knows that he has an ambush, he still can't avoid the end of being bombarded by the opponent with artillery.
As a result, everyone thought about it, and only by using Tianlongzhai itself to set an ambush for the opponent, in the end, Yan Chongxi came up with such a damaging trick.
Xiao Tianjian also adopted this plan against his conscience, but when he thought of the exiles who were chased and killed by the officers and soldiers and villagers outside, Xiao Tianjian was still quite uneasy and felt that he did not take the lives of those exiles for their lives.
"No poison, no husband, this world is like grass, not to mention that I didn't kill those exiles! It can only be blamed on the old bastard surnamed Li for being inciable! After this battle, after my strength grew, I took people to break the bastard Zhuangzi surnamed Li, and slaughtered the old guy to avenge these exiles!" After listening to Yan Chongxi's words, Xiao Tianjian comforted himself in his heart.
Then he became relaxed, listened to the voice at the mountain gate and smiled, "It seems that Li Shuanzhu has done better than we expected. It has been such a long time!"
Yan Chongxi also nodded with a smile and sighed, "Brother Li is really brave. I can't compare!"
"Falge or true or false, which makes Li Shuanzhu make such a fuss. It is expected that the officers and soldiers outside and those villagers are even more dizzy! Send someone to tell Li Shuanzhu, tell him not to hold on for too long, fight quickly, and let them come in quickly! It's not good for brothers to bask in the sun all the time! Ha ha!" After being relieved, Xiao Tianjian was much more cheerful and ordered with a smile.
"Yes! ......”
