Chapter 282: Ambush

"The army marched under the banner of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the personnel sent to various places to organize disaster relief still pretended to be the Vietnamese army, and it was better to act cheaply. Zhou Zhou said.

Thinking that victory was in sight, the morale of the sergeants was greatly boosted, but Lei Shaoxuan's mood became heavier and heavier.

The divine thoughts spread out in all directions, everywhere was the vast and endless turbid water, the gray sky was heavy and pressing, the air was filled with a rich fishy smell, the water was exposed from time to time hideous and decadent walls, scattered hills, tree tops, roofs and other high places, countless figures were flashing and wailing, and there were all kinds of corpses floating on the water......

However, you can only see the water vapor in front of you, and a piece of smoke and rain is drenched, just like a painting of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, full of poetry.

β€”β€”Behind the beautiful pictures of the country, there are countless sufferings and corpses......

"After this battle, I will probably die, right? The dam collapse will be a heavy killing, and I will be cursed by the heavens, and my lifespan is not much, where is it enough for God to curse?"

"Die or die!"

Regarding the matter of making up for his life with cultivation, Lei Shaoxuan didn't have much hope.

"In any case, the matter has come to this point, and the task must be successfully completed, maybe it can really leave a mark in history!" Lei Shaoxuan comforted himself, and a little smug rose in his heart, "A death row prisoner, it is not a loss to be able to get to this day." ”

"Report ......" A spy rode a fast horse and came straight to the front of Lei Shaoxuan.

β€œ...... General, fifty miles ahead, a group of 5,000 Vietnamese troops, the lineup is very neat, it is elite, waving the banner of Bai Wu, the commander of the naval division in eastern South Vietnam, is rapidly marching in the direction of our army, and it is expected to meet our army in the evening. ”

"What is the distribution of troops, provisions, weapons, etc.?" Lei Shaoxuan was slightly startled and asked in a deep voice.

"The road was full of water, and it was flooded with trees and grass, so it was impossible to observe it closely, and it was impossible to judge the distribution of troops. However, this team of Vietnamese soldiers are all dressed in the same color of the sailor's clothing, neat armor, and wearing the flag of the white military commander, judging that it is the white military guard and the naval division of the Chinese army directly under the central government. ”

The spies are all elites, and they are very familiar with the South Vietnamese military branches, so they naturally know that the handsome flag can only be played by the commander.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and there was an incredible expression on their faces.

"What is Bai Wu going to do? Several granaries have been destroyed, the base of the naval division has been destroyed, and the signs of our army's elite activities on the south bank of the Heng River have been very obvious, as the commander of the dignified sailor, with only 5,000 men and horses, he dares to go ashore, and he dares to act alone, so he is not afraid of being eaten by our army?" Yang Xiu said in surprise, "If something happens to the commander of the dignified sailor, the South Vietnamese army's heart will not be able to float upside down?"

"Boy, chance!" Ma Shaoteng blurted out, his eyes shining.

Everyone looked at Ma Shaoteng, and it is estimated that only Ma Shaoteng can call Lei Shaoxuan a kid.

Ma Shaoteng looked at everyone and said, "Do you know why Bai Wu dared to go ashore with 5,000 men and horses?"

Lei Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows, nodded, and motioned for Ma Shaoteng to continue.

"The base of the sailor division was completely destroyed, and the sailor had no provisions, so he could only be forced to retreat, but Bai Wu, as the commander of the sailor, had not seen an enemy, had not fought a battle, and had no edict, rashly led the sailor to retreat, which must be regarded by the imperial court as ill-intentioned and suspected of rebellion, therefore, the sailor can retreat, but Bai Wu and Shuai Qi can not retreat, and must stay on the front line of the Henghe River, waiting for the edict or waiting for the situation to change. ”

Ma Shaoteng continued: "Bai Wu dares to lead 5,000 people to go ashore immediately, it is not difficult to judge that these 5,000 Vietnamese troops must be the elite of the sailors. If you want to eat five thousand elites, it is impossible to eat them without several times the number of people and horses, even if you are surrounded by several times the number of people and horses, it is not difficult for the five thousand elites to break through, after all, this is the territory of South Vietnam, and if there is a slight big movement, there will be other South Vietnamese troops to respond, so Bai Wu dares to march with a handsome banner without any scruples. ”

"Playing the handsome flag, it is estimated that it also shows that the sailor is still guarding the Henghe River, which can calm the hearts of the people and the army. Zhou Zhou added, "And it can cover the retreat of the water division, otherwise the people will panic when they know that the water division has retreated." ”

"Eat him?" Lei Shaoxuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ma Shaoteng and asked.

As a death row prisoner and a sergeant of the forward battalion, Lei Shaoxuan is no stranger to field battles, but Lei Shaoxuan is still unfamiliar with commanding troops in field battles, of course, Lei Shaoxuan is not lacking in strategy, but at the pre-war command level, he is still inexperienced and needs Ma Shaoteng's assistance.

Ma Shaoteng hesitated for a moment and said: "If we fight head-on with it, our army's military strength will be completely exposed, and then it will attract the attention of the South Vietnamese Imperial Court, and the troops on the south bank of the Heng River will be encircled and suppressed, and our army will be in danger of falling into a heavy encirclement." Why don't you avoid them first, monitor them instead, and wait for the southern expeditionary troops to completely cross the river, and our army has reserve reinforcements, and then encircle and annihilate them together?"

The south bank of the Heng River is the front line, and in addition to the naval division, there are still a large number of South Vietnamese troops stationed on the front line, and the combat strength of these troops is naturally not weak.

Lei Shaoxuan pondered for a moment and looked at everyone. Everyone looked at themselves, with apprehension, worry, calmness, and excitement in their eyes......

"Although the 5,000 enemy troops boast of being elite, they are all sailors, and their land combat strength is doubtful, and our army is all carefully selected 10,000 people, twice the military strength, are you afraid of them?"

Lei Shaoxuan said word by word: "The fighter plane is fleeting, if you don't seize it, when will there be a chance to capture the commander with twice the military strength?"

Yes, when was the commander of an army not heavily protected, and most of them were in the depths of the barracks, or even behind enemy lines? Since ancient times, there have been only a handful of combat cases in which the commander of the enemy army has had the opportunity to surround the commander of the enemy's army, and almost all of them are in the late stage of the war, or even when the country is on the verge of annihilation.

"In this case, it is advisable for our army to rush quickly and drown the other side as quickly as a flood with lightning speed. Ma Shaoteng's face was slightly red, and he was a little moved, having the opportunity to win the enemy coach is of great significance, and it is worth taking a little risk.

Only twice the strength of the enemy, used to encircle the enemy, the strength is slightly insufficient, the enemy can easily break through, and used for frontal raids, undoubtedly can give full play to the advantage of two times the strength, can quickly defeat the enemy army head-on, and when the enemy army breaks and flees, it can closely adhere to the pursuit, so Ma Shaoteng's suggestion is very accurate.

There is no doubt that Ma Shaoteng's on-the-spot combat command ability is strong, otherwise he would not have been selected by King Wei as Lei Shaoxuan's deputy to assist Lei Shaoxuan.

"No! Lei Shaoxuan shook his head and said, "The main purpose of this battle is to capture or kill Bai Wu, although the frontal impact can quickly crush the enemy army, it is not easy to capture Bai Wu." ”

"My lord, this place is close to the Heng River, and there are silted plains and hills within a radius of dozens of miles, with a wide field of vision, gentle terrain, and it is not easy to set up ambushes. Yang Xiu said urgently.

"The troops don't need to be well hidden, simple hills are enough to ambush the troops. Lei Shaoxuan's eyes were sharp, staring at the spies standing on the side, and said, "We create an illusion of rapid action, so that the enemy spies dare not spend too much time on careful investigation, and the field of vision here is wide, and the enemy spies cannot get close to our army to investigate carefully, and create a false impression to induce the enemy army to quickly enter the encirclement of our army." ”

Everyone was silent, and they all looked at Lei Shaoxuan.

"How far can the enemy spies probe for how far?" asked Lei Shaoxuan.

"Thirty miles!" said the spy, adding, "our army is fifty miles." ”

The Stinger troops went deep behind enemy lines alone, stretching the detection distance very far, which is also a natural meaning.

Lei Shaoxuan nodded and said: "Yang Xiu led 2,000 people, when he noticed the enemy spies, he changed to retreat, pretending to act quickly, misleading the enemy, so that our army thought that our army was going to retreat; Ma Tao and Xue Ding led 2,000 men and horses, ambushed behind the nearby hills, sent elite secret sentry posts, pretended to be spies, patrolled around the hills, and were not afraid that the enemy would find these vigilant secret posts of our army, but never let the enemy spies get close to the ambush team after discovering the hills......"

Everyone suddenly realized that in fact, the ambush does not have to be concealed by some deep grass or steep terrain, as long as the enemy spies are not allowed to approach and discover, even if they find their own spies, what does it matter? As long as they do not find the large group of people.

β€œ...... The remaining 4,000 men and horses, divided into four teams, all armed with bows and arrows and spears, and when the enemy enters the encirclement of our army, the moment they come into contact with our army, they will fire a volley of bows and arrows, and throw spears in unison, so as to be sure to stun and cripple the enemy in one fell swoop......"

Hearing this, everyone gasped in their hearts, the enemy army only had 5,000 people, and they were fired by 4,000 bows and arrows and spears, and the tragic situation can be imagined.

Everyone looked at Lei Shaoxuan's eyes slightly, their faces changed slightly, since they followed Lei Shaoxuan behind the enemy, almost every battle has been brilliant, but none of them is not very vicious and cruel.

is worthy of being a death row prisoner, Lei Shaoxuan's ideas are very vicious and decisive, and everyone feels faintly happy and excited in addition to palpitations. As a sergeant, how much wildness is uncontrollable in everyone's hearts, they all have a cruel side, and they faintly need to vent, who doesn't want to kill the enemy happily? Follow Lei Shaoxuan, and be able to vent the wildness in their hearts heartily, which is exactly what everyone wants!

"Kill!" the crowd shouted.

The roar of the fire shook the four wildernesses, driving away the depression and desolation caused by the desolate and miserable conditions that they had seen on the march for several days.

At this moment, Bai Wu had a gloomy face and rode on his horse.

Since leading 5,000 men to the shore, all the way to Bahu Lake, the situation is unbearable, all the way to the careful investigation, but also verified a worrying news, there is indeed a Wei army of about 3,000 people on the south bank of the Heng River. Bai Wu had already concluded in his heart that it must be this team, either pretending to be the Taiping Army or colluding with the Taiping Army, to destroy the two granary bases of Nalan and Pingjiang.

Bai Wu vaguely felt that the dam failure of Bahu Lake must be inseparable from this Wei army.

The sergeant guarded the country, and it was the dereliction of duty of the sailor that allowed the Wei army to cross the Heng River, and then unscrupulously crisscrossed the south bank of the Heng River, causing such huge damage.

As the team got closer and closer to Bahu, Bai Wu's heart became more and more anxious, and his face became more and more cold.

In the afternoon, when the team approached an undulating hill, a fast horse galloped head-on, and came straight to Bai Wu's front to a sharp stop, the war horse neighed and raised its front hooves, Bai Wu couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and his heart was pinched - big thing!

Thirty miles ahead, we found a group of about 3,000 Wei troops, coming from the direction of Bahu Lake, and were marching towards our army. ”

"Who is the general, what is the purpose, and how is the equipment ......," Bai Wu asked eagerly.

"This is a lone army, there is no banner, it is impossible to see who is the general, only the equipment with it, because it cannot be approached, and its purpose cannot be ascertained. The spy gasped.

"Probe again!" Bai Wu frowned, but his gaze was raised again, looking towards the front of the group. At this time, a tall farmer-like man, holding a token, ran towards Bai Wu, shouting in his mouth: "Urgent report!"
