Chapter 210 guerrilla tactics

Zhang Yang walked in the front with his three hundred-person cavalry, two Tianque team and one spear team. The advantage of being a cavalry suddenly appeared. Along the way, they were the first to arrive in Taizhou as the vanguard of various armies.

At this time, there is still one day before the launch of the general attack. What they need to do is to hide in the woods ten miles north of Taizhou, which is far away from the road. Wait for the other teams to arrive on time.

Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong also followed Zhang Yang's team. Li Shanchang stayed and guarded the salt farm.

The sky is gradually dawning, and clear dewdrops are constantly dripping in the woods. The bird has also woken up and chattered on the branches. No one paid attention to these things. They all leaned against the trunk and were ready to sleep.

Suddenly, outside the woods, there was a rustling sound, and someone came in!

The sentry immediately clenched the sky in his hand. In the dense forest, the range of the sky could not be effectively used. On the contrary, the sound of the fire would also expose the target. If Taizhou found the hidden team here, it would lose the value of the surprise attack. Therefore, the ruler is short and the inch is long. At this time, the spear is better to use than the sky.

The spear soldiers quietly followed the way and greeted them.

Wrapped in a white towel on the head, wearing a short cloth, dressed as a shop clerk, followed by a few people, dressed as a hawker, and they sneaked into the woods.

The captain clenched the spear in his hand. If the other party approached again, he would stab out of the cracks in the woods next to him and pierce these reckless ghosts. In order not to reveal the target, this is the only way.

One of the vendors took off his hat and wiped his sweat. The eyebrows became clearer and clearer, but the captain was stunned: Isn't this the centurion?

Shixin went to the Tuxun camp and found that they seemed to be mobilizing. The whole car of arrow pots were pulled over from the military weapon bureau. He thought that the news was going to attack the city had been leaked. When he met the two brothers who sneaked into the drunken phoenix tower, he knew that the tars actually wanted to take the initiative to attack the salt field!

They are all in a hurry. Now, the eldest brother has sent out most of the soldiers and horses, and the rear is empty. If they are attacked by the tars, the people in the east of Xinghua will suffer. The tars' favorite thing to do is to slaughter the people. The situation that the eldest brother has just established with hard work will all disappear.

Early in the morning, as soon as the gate opened, they came out, found the woods ten miles away, and went to report to the eldest brother. What they were afraid of was that once the eldest brother had not arrived, the tars had already been dispatched. With several of them, they could not stop the tars' army.

That's 10,000 people! The tars really look up to the big brother.

The captain put down the spear in his hand and greeted him.

"Your excellency is back. Can you find any news this time?" Before the captain finished asking, he saw Shi Xin rushing up like crazy and shook his arm: "Where is the big brother? Take me to see my eldest brother!"

In the cold wind in the morning, a sweat came out of Shi Xin's head.

"It's in there. Your excellency will come with me." The captain touched the pinched arm and said. But I was wondering, what's the matter, so anxious?

Under a tall poplar tree, he bit the petiole of a poplar leaf with his mouth and enjoyed the silence before the war. Shi Nai'an leaned against the big tree next to him and closed his eyes.

"Big brother, big brother." Shi Xin ran to Zhang Yang and was out of breath.

"What's wrong? Shixin, didn't you ask you to inquire about the situation in Taizhou City? Why did you come back so soon?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Brother, it's not a good thing. A saved official came to Taizhou City and mobilized the soldiers and horses in Taizhou to prepare to go out of the city to attack our salt farm." Shi Xin said.

A senior official in the province? Attack the salt field? Zhang Yang flashed countless ideas in his mind in an instant.

"Don't worry, speak slowly, what's going on?" Shi Nai'an also opened his eyes, stood up, shook his broken feather fan, and asked.

"Last night, we sneaked into the city to inquire about the news and found that there were many celebrities in Taizhou waiting for someone in front of the largest drunken phoenix tower. After waiting for about half an hour, we saw a very big man entering the drunken phoenix tower. Even Zhou Yin of Taizhou followed the man. I sent two people to make up. The clerk fooled in, and then found out that it turned out to be a senior official sent by the province, saying what it was about participating in politics.

"Is it to participate in political affairs, Zhao Lian is here?" Shi Nai'an said to himself.

"Yes, it seems that this person is still there to appease the landlords in Taizhou, saying that he sent 10,000 defenders to Taizhou to Xinghua and take back our territory." Shi Xin said. Moreover, I went outside the battalion to check secretly and found that there were signs of army mobilization. Countless arrows were transferred from the Military Bureau to the battalion. It seemed that they were about to leave.

"Look at your promising, why are you panicking?" Zhang Yang said, "Isn't it just the tartars coming out? What is there to be afraid of? We have defeated so many tartars. Are we still afraid of this little tartars?

When Zhang Yang said this, a few people stabilized their mood. Yes, under the leadership of the eldest brother, he has won so many battles, and he is afraid of the tars!

"You go back to spy on the news and see when the ten thousand defenders of the Tutars will be dispatched and return in time." Zhang Yang ordered.

"Yes, big brother."

Looking at several spies leaving again, Zhang Yang frowned. He really didn't expect that Taizhou, as an important town, could send 10,000 defenders to encircle and suppress his salt farm. From here to the salt farm, the cavalry was fast, and the time would come in a day. Do you want to go back to defend the salt farm now? Forget it, the arrow is already on the string, and I can't allow myself to discuss it again.

"Mr. Shi, what do you think of this question?" Zhang Yang looked at Shi Nai'an, who was shaking the fan, and asked.

"Lord, this is an opportunity." Shi Naian said, "Our tactic is a surprise attack on Taizhou. Now, most of the defenders of Taizhou have been dispatched, which will reduce a lot of resistance for us to attack Taizhou."

"So, what about the salt farm?"

"Taizhou is a strong city, which coincides with the emptiness of Taizhou's troops. Don't miss the opportunity. It will never come again, Lord."

The meaning of Shi Nai'an is obvious. Now we must seize this opportunity. Having a strong city is very important for a reckless hero.

"We have taken down Taizhou, and these defenders will definitely panic and return to Taizhou. We are waiting for work in Taizhou City and destroy all this 10,000 people under the city wall. Before that, we can send a small group of suspected soldiers to attack the defenders who are rushing to the salt field and delay their actions.

Now the Taizhou garrison is divided into two, capturing Taizhou, destroying the internal enemy, and then destroying the remaining garrison at the top of the city. Otherwise, there will be thousands of people. Even if they attack into Taizhou City, this 10,000 garrison will cause excessive casualties to themselves. Now it is the most appropriate to act.

Disturbing the other party? An idea flashed in Zhang Yang's mind.

The enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and fights, the enemy retreats and chases, and there is a chance to win in guerrilla warfare; stride forward and retreat, lure the enemy to go deep, concentrate troops, break through each other, and annihronize the enemy in the sports war. This is the experience summed up by a generation of great men. Whether it is for the arduous eight years of resistance or local wars under high-tech conditions in modern times, the backward side always likes to adopt such guerrilla tactics.

"Call Shi Wenshan to come here." Zhang Yang said.

Shi Wenbing was originally assigned to the second battalion. Later, when the base camp expanded, he transferred Shi Wenbing to be the centurion of the second team of the base camp. Now, his men are also full of staff.

"Mr. Shi, our original plan was to send Wen Bing's second team to support Ximen to prevent reinforcements from Yangzhou. However, now that the situation is urgent, we have to transfer the soldiers of the second team to the task of the delayed Tutars and support Ximen. Let's give it to the third team of the base camp in the reserve team." Zhang Yang and Shi Nai'an said that the third team has been equipped with more than 20 Tianque buns, which is also a team that can handle.

"Well, the master is still considerate." Shi Nai'an said.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Soon, Shi Wenbing of the second team rushed from the woods behind and asked.

"Wen Bing, I originally asked you to lead the team to support the west gate, but now the situation has changed, and you have to send something more important to do." Zhang Yang said.

"Big brother, give the order. The second team can complete any task." Shi Wenbing said.

"The Tartars in Taizhou are about to send troops to attack our salt field, so I need to send you back." Zhang Yang said.

"Yes, brother, I will lead the team back immediately to guard the salt field." Shi Wenbing said.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Zhang Yang looked at Shi Wenbing, who was about to leave, and he also knew that the situation was urgent. The tars sent 10,000 cavalry this time. Even if you rush back, are you sure to guard the salt field?

The salt farm now has a hundred guards, plus his hundred cavalry, only 200 people. Even with the powerful firepower of Tianque, it is still very mysterious for these 200 people to fight against 10,000 people.

"Why did the eldest brother send me back?" Shi Wenbing asked.

"Even if the Tartar cavalry is fast, it will take a day. The task given to you is to delay the action of the Tartar cavalry, so that they should take a day's road for two or three days. In this way, after Taizhou falls into our hands, do you think the Tartars will continue to attack the salt field? Or come back to help Taizhou? Shi Nai'an said next to him.

"Yes, Wen Bing understands." Shi Wenbing replied.

"Your men are all cavalry and all firemen, so it is most appropriate to leave this task to you. What you need to do is that after the Tartars go 20 miles out of Taizhou City, you can follow up and blow up the Tartars**."

"Brother, what is the ** of the tartars?" Shi Wenbing asked, he was really honest and cute.

"Oh, I mean, you lead the team and follow the tars. After entering the range, give him a bullet rain. If the tars turn the horse's head to chase it, you will run away. If there are more people chasing, you will escape far away. If there are fewer people chasing, you will lead them away from the big army and then turn the horse's head to kill them. If the tars don't chase, you will follow the buttocks of the tars and shoot. How many tars to kill are secondary. The important thing is to delay the action of the tars. This time, you must choose those who are skilled in your team. You are not required to shoot while riding. As long as the horse stops and you can shoot on the horse. He can only ride a horse and will not run fast. Stay, otherwise it will be killed in vain. The bow and arrow of the tar is not a vegetarian. You must attack outside the range of the bow and arrow of the tar. If the tars chase, he will immediately turn the horse's head and run away. Zhang Yang said.

After Zhang Yang's explanation, Shi Wenbing immediately understood that the eldest brother's move was powerful, and the tars were fooled every time, and this time was no exception. He seemed to have seen that 10,000 Tartar cavalry were completely out of temper by his small army of 100 people.

"Go back to rectify the team and wait for my order to leave." Zhang Yang said.

"Yes, big brother." Shi Wenbing walked back excitedly, walking while thinking about how to better improve the eldest brother's method.

At noon, Shi Xin finally came back. He brought the latest news this time. The Tutars were all cavalry. Looking at the scale, there were really about 10,000 people. Some were purebred Mongolian Tutars, some were Tanma Red Army, and most of them were new annexed forces. The team was led by Daluhua from Taizhou. Behind them, they also pulled more than a dozen supply carriages. All the way out of Taizhou from the east gate, turned north and went straight to the salt field.

Shixin is very anxious. The salt farm is the big brother's base camp. If the salt farm is taken down by the tars, I'm afraid that these soldiers will be floating.

Zhang Yang was not in a hurry and said to the messenger behind him, "Notify the second team and let's go!"

The second team was ordered to fish out from another inconspicuous place in the woods, first to the north, then to the east, and straight to the official road.

"Drive, drive." Shi Wenbing rushed to the front with a whip.

The second team was originally full of 100 soldiers, but ten people had just learned to ride horses, so Shi Wenbing left them in the woods and waited for the deployment of the eldest brother. These 90 people were all skilled in riding, and several of them were even able to shoot in the middle of the march.

After running for half an hour, a winding and rugged cavalry appeared on the official road ahead. They were arranged in a word array that was easy to march and were moving forward.

Although it feels cool, it is limited to charging. In case of emergency, the horse's physical strength is limited after all, and it is impossible to sprint for a long time. When marching, it is swaying slowly.

Shi Wen's face showed a ferocious smile and began. The place where the battle began was not Taizhou City, not a salt farm, but himself in the wilderness.

"Ready to attack!"

90 cavalry attacked 10,000 people, a bit like ants attacking elephants, but they ran over without fear.

Guarding the rear team is Ren Zhankui, a centurion of the new attached army. His team is responsible for transporting the food and fodder of more than a dozen carriages in the back. Although it can reach Xinghua in a day, it also needs to rest halfway. Horses have to eat grass and people have to eat. Therefore, the food and fod of these more than a dozen carriages is just enough for two days of the brigade. Food.

There must be no suspense in attacking the salt field this time. Ten thousand menate officers and soldiers will fight a group of rioters. What else can happen? Most people are thinking about how to plunder after the war.

However, this opportunity has nothing to do with Ren Zhankui. He is guarding the food and fodder. How can he go? It's a big crime to lose food and fodder.

I was in mourning, and the sound of horses' hoofs came from behind.

"Report to the centurion, there are cavalry chasing behind." A soldier with sharp ears had seen the cavalry behind him, and said to Ren Zhankui.

"It's up to him. It must be for Lord Dalu Huachi. It has nothing to do with us." Ren Zhankui said.

There is no suspense. In this broad daylight, on the boundary of Taizhou, a large group of cavalry must be his own people. He never thought that there would be rioters who dared to come here to be wild.

It's needless to say that it must be the city of Taizhou who sent information to the adults, although there seemed to be a lot of cavalry delivering the letter.

Shi Wenjin's team has approached the tail behind, the eldest brother's order, the tar's **!

"Your Excellency, it's not the tars behind, it's the new attached army."

"Then blow up their **." Shi Wenbing said that he had reached 200 steps, and the people behind him were actually defenseless against themselves? Shi Wenshan had some doubts. For the first time to test the attack of the surname, it would be better to go a little farther away.

"Stop moving forward and get ready to shoot!" Shi Wenshan said.

The soldiers tightened the horse's head, quickly took the sky from behind, quickly loaded the bullet, and prepared to shoot.

I stopped by myself, but the other party was still walking, so if I didn't move faster, I could reach 300 steps in the blink of an eye.

Although the well-trained soldiers quickly completed the task of loading bullets on the horse, because this action is really too simple. They only need to pull the lever and turn the wheel to automatically complete the task of loading bullets.

They all aimed at the target.

"Shoot!"

"Ban, bang, bang." The sound of ninety shots in the sky is also deafening.

"Report to the centurion, the cavalry behind stopped." The soldier reported to Ren Zhankui again.

"It's up to them, let's go." Ren Zhankui didn't take it seriously at all.

It was not until he saw that those people were holding fire that he was a little surprised.

"Enemy attack!" As soon as the two words came out, I saw a black smoke coming out of the other party's camp, and then I heard the deafening voice.

The

** war horse suddenly raised its front hoof and was shocked.

"Ban, bang." This loud voice also shocked other soldiers who were on the march.

What's going on? I didn't look back, but the queue was too long to see the situation behind.

"Quick, go to the back and have a look. What's going on?" He shouted to a guard.

The guard picked up the horse's belly, turned the horse's head, and ran back.
