CHAPTER XIV. Ambush 5
"Why is it so wrong?" said Chika Koizumi, puzzled. Zuo Han replied truthfully www.biquge.info "The gang duel in Tianma Mountain has a scale of tens of thousands of people. You and Shangguan Hongyang are now rushing over, but they are just moths to the fire, and they will not help. Why don't you stay with me and help me make a good move. ”
"What second chess?" said Chika Koizumi suspiciously.
Zuo Han patiently explained, "The Southern Department of the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Sea Gang Dongyang Headquarters have joined forces to seize control of the Jiangnan Martial Arts, you know this. They are menacing, determined to win, and their edge is inviolable. Although I have gathered 2,000 men and horses on hand, I am still at a disadvantage in numbers. The original plan was to sneak attack from behind, which can also have some miraculous effect, but whether it can win a big victory, is not at all certain. Fortunately, I had inspected Guyang Garden just now, and when I saw the mountains of grain and grass inside, I suddenly had a plan. I want to use the method of burning Guyang Garden to induce the other party to return to the rescue. ”
Shangguan Hongyang felt that something was wrong, and immediately raised an objection and suggested, "No." In the event of a big counterattack by the other side, what would we do? Originally, we and the Songjiang Headquarters of the Sea Gang were caught between the front and back, and there was still a glimmer of hope for victory. If the coalition forces counterattack, and the Songjiang headquarters does not know the situation on the side of Guyangyuan, it will definitely not be able to hold out. Relying on Gu Yangyuan's people to undertake the all-out attack of the coalition forces alone, I am afraid that in an instant, it will be completely defeated. Or, when the coalition forces knew that there was a loss in the rear, they simply broke the cauldron and attacked Tianma Mountain with all their might, while our 2,000 men were here waiting for the rabbits, didn't this let the opportunity slip away?"
Zuo Han smiled, "You have a lot of sense. But the problem is that the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first. The eating and drinking of tens of thousands of coalition troops is not a small problem. Once they hear that Gu Yangyuan has missed, whether it is Bald Pen Weng or Futian Qingzhi, they will definitely be shocked, and the morale of their subordinates will also be shaken. This is one of them. And Guyang Garden is full of flames, which can prove that there are not many enemies in the rear. Otherwise, who could watch so much grain and grass wealth disappear in an instant? Wouldn't it be better to move away? Considering that Guyang Garden and the sea gang Dongyang headquarters looted along the way, hundreds of beautiful women from good families, worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. In this case, Fukuda Kiyoshi must divide his troops to rescue. This is the second one. When the reinforcements are wiped out, the coalition forces will know how strong the enemy is in the rear, and the original contemptuous attitude will immediately turn into a huge panic. This is the third. At this time, even a straw can crush the camel of the coalition army. We beat the gongs and drums again, and march forward with noise along the way, when we can get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Shangguan Hongyang saw that Zuo Han's words were reasonable, so he nodded and agreed. Although Chika Koizumi was anxious and worried about the safety of her parents and sister, after all, as a guest, it was inconvenient to force Zuo Han to rush in. Seeing that neither of them objected, Zuo Han instructed his lieutenants to invite all the relevant leaders over and prepare to arrange relevant matters. Not long after, Zhang Baihu, Li Baihu, and Master Kangqing, who guarded the Qianhu Office in Songjiang, all came together. Along with Zhang Baihu, there were Zhong Baixian, the owner of Haiyun Village, Pei Liang, a member of Qingfeng Town, and Qin Hanming, the owner of Conch Fort in Luoshi Bay, who were invited by Zhang Baihu and each brought two or three hundred villagers to help. After everyone introduced each other, they all entered a nearby pavilion, and a captain had already brought stools and chairs and invited them to sit down one by one. At this time, the bright moon was shining high, the north wind was blowing, and the sound of shouting and killing could be faintly heard in the distance. Zuo Han saw that Koizumi Qianjia's face was full of anxiety, and hurriedly said, "Tianma Mountain has already handed it over." Without further ado, our side needs to act quickly. Li Baihu, you should take fifty lieutenants and go to the barn to set fire, the bigger the fire, the better. And protect the relevant property, utensils and hostages, pay close attention to the situation around Guyang Park, and strictly prevent people from taking advantage of the fire to rob and make trouble. Li Baihu immediately took the order and left.
"Zhang Baihu, Zhong Zhuang, Pei Yuanwai, the three of you, hurriedly led his subordinates to be brave and set up an ambush in a secluded place five miles to the north official road. When the opponent's reinforcements come, they will all let them go first, and when they hear the three rockets on our side, they will copy the back road of the opponent's reinforcements along the official road, and at the same time be responsible for watching and seeing if the opponent has a second wave of backup. If so, send soldiers to report as soon as possible. After Zhang Baihu, Zhong Zhuang and Pei Yuanwai received the order, they lit up more than 600 people outside Guyang Garden, and did not mention them from the north.
Zuo Han personally left his seat, bowed to Lord Kang, and asked him to set up an ambush on the left and right sides of the official road three miles north of Guyang Garden. Once the artillery signal is heard, you can launch an attack on the enemy. Master Kang arched his hand and said, "Lord Zuo doesn't have to be polite. This is also the old man's business. If you can follow Lord Zuo and pick up a small credit, the old man will be grateful. Zuo Han smiled, "Everyone has credit, but Master Kang can ignore the danger and go to the battlefield in person, which can be regarded as giving Zuo a big face." Zuo thanked me in advance. After the two were polite, Kang Da left with his fists clenched.
Zuo Han finally said, "Brother Hongyang, Miss Qianjia, and the Lord of Qinbao, the three of you will follow me and lead the rest of the people and horses to the hillside two miles north of Guyang Garden, and set up camp to wait for work. ”
