Chapter 1178: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (68) A Lonely Throw
Listening to Guo Fu's words, Li Mingjun's heart thumped, yes, now the weather is so cold, and it is the time of the New Year, the two sides have been facing each other for so long, and there has never been a large-scale confrontation. Now as Guo Fu said, he is about to go crazy, and the key is that if he continues like this, his troops will fall apart. said to Guo Fu that there would be a batch of supplies coming over from Jinyang, but in fact, Li Mingjun knew the specific number, and that little bit of stuff was not enough to stuff his teeth.
Li Mingjun also knows Zhao Qi's suffering, the imperial court is already poor enough, and it has to meet the needs of the Qin people, the Qin army stationed in Hangu Pass regards the imperial court as a good money boy who gives and asks, but if he doesn't say a word, the other party's face will be pulled down, and if he doesn't agree, he will tear his face, but now the court can't do without the support of the Qin people, if there is no help from the Qin people, I am afraid that those guys on the opposite side will have already called.
The army on the opposite side of Dongzhao, from the weapons and equipment needed in daily life, made Li Mingjun's eyes red, grab a vote, go to grab a vote, and a voice in his heart kept shouting.
"What did you do to prepare?" Li Mingjun, who was cautious by nature, looked at Guo Fu, who was eager to try, and asked.
Listening to Li Mingjun's tone, Guo Fu was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and pulled over a map, spread it on the table, "General, please see, this is our Pinggu, and here is the target I am going to do this time, Huining County in Dai County." There are about 5,000 Dongzhao troops stationed in Huining County, including 3,000 in the county seat, 1,000 in Oak Bend, and 1,000 in Changqiao, in an inverted character structure, but my target is not these three places, but the countryside under Huining. General, I have sent scouts to investigate carefully, and there are eight villages closest to us, and there are no garrisons in these villages. There are only some township troops, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not worth mentioning, but these villages are now very rich, at least there is no shortage of food. And these eight villages, the closest to Oak Bay and Long Bridge Set, are also thirty miles, which is nothing for the cavalry, but for the infantry. In such weather, thirty miles is more than half a day's journey, which is enough for us to run away. Guo Fudao.
"How many things can you grab from eight villages?" Li Mingjun frowned and said, unlike Guo Fu, he needs to look at the problem from the perspective of the whole army, since he wants to rob it, then he can simply do a big deal, at least to solve the problem of his army spending the winter this year. As for whether it will cause a big war on both sides, that is a matter to be considered, and if there are not enough winter supplies, it is difficult to say whether they can survive this winter. Where else can I take care of.
"General, don't underestimate these eight villages, which side is not richer than ours." Guo Fu licked his lips, "The Han people are in terms of governing people's livelihood. It is indeed a good hand, although these places have suffered years of war, but this year the time is very fast. I heard that their court has some special care for Daijun. ”
Li Mingjun's fingers tapped lightly on the table, "Changqiaoji is a town, and there is a garrison, there should be an enemy military warehouse inside, right?" ”
Guo Fu was taken aback, "In General, there are a thousand enemy garrisons in Changqiaoji, and it is close to the county seat, if you fight here, if you can't beat it for a while, Huining's enemy will come out, and it will be difficult to get out if you stick to us." I have only 3,000 men here, and I will not be able to fight more than 2,500 of them, excluding the old and the weak, and the wounded. ”
"If you really want to do it, then make it big." Staring at the map in Guo Fu's hand, Li Mingjun took a deep breath, "Naturally, I won't just use this little army in your hand, I will transfer more troops over." ”
"General, if you move troops on a large scale, I am afraid that it will arouse the vigilance of the other party, the enemy has a lot of eyes on our side, and they only need to use a bag of grain to buy a common person on our side to report the news for them. If you lose the suddenness, there is no point. Guo Fu shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, I won't use other troops, I'll use my own barracks, and the people in the other garrisons won't move." Li Mingjun pointed to the map and said: "You first hit Tongling Village, here is the closest to Changqiaoji, after the fight, the enemy of Changqiaoji will naturally go to the rescue when they get the news, you sweep all the way along your established route, and let their messengers report to them all the way, I ambush them on the halfway, after defeating them, I immediately pounced on Changqiaoji, and you retreated with what you snatched back." ”
"What if Huining's enemies come out?"
"This is the intention of me to only use my personal guard battalion, my personal guard battalion is all cavalry, although there are less than 2,000 people, but they can advance and retreat freely, and they are not ready to catch the 1,000 enemies in the long bridge set, as long as they rush out to rescue in a hurry, that is the opportunity, I am afraid that they will be cowardly, and they will not dare to come out at all, then I will be blind."
"How can I be blind, at least I robbed eight villages here." Guo Fudao.
"I immediately transferred my personal guard battalion to come over secretly, and two days later, I started to operate." Li Mingjun slapped the table. "Don't tell anyone until then, your camp isn't necessarily clean, until the last moment of the operation, when we explain our goal downward."
"Understood."
Two days later, the sky had just darkened, and the soldiers in Guo Fu's army were surprised to find that the camp was actually brightly lit today, and the smoke of the cooking stove rose, and the tempting aroma drifted from the wind, and the soldiers in the barracks walked out one by one, looking in that direction with doubts, you know, it has been a long time, they don't fire at night, two meals a day, a thin meal in the morning, pickles, an hour after noon, will open lunch again, after eating this meal, you have to point to the next day, it is precisely because of the lack of food, The army has even canceled all routine drills, which require strength, and naturally they are hungry quickly.
"It smells like meat." A soldier wrapped in tattered cotton wool sniffled vigorously and said.
"You kid want to eat meat, don't you?" A veteran beside him sneered.
"It really smells of meat, you smell it." The soldier sniffed again, affirmatively.
As he spoke, several soldiers had already walked from the other end of the room, carrying baskets and vats in their hands, walked up to them, and put their things heavily in front of everyone, and the officer at the head of the group shouted loudly: "One bowl of broth for each person." ”
The crowd shouted loudly, turned and ran to the tent, took their bowls and rushed out again.
"Get in line, line up." The whip in the officer's hand fell headlessly, "Otherwise, you won't have to eat." ”
Finally lined up the line, and the men and soldiers began to distribute them, and a veteran soldier held a bowl and a bun, looked at the officer and said, "Suo Touer, don't go to war." ”
"Just you old boy is shrewd." The officer surnamed Suo said: "When you are full of food and drink, you will naturally go to work, but don't worry, this time we are not going to fight the enemy's army, but to rob their village, and if we don't get something back, how will we survive this winter?" They all have to freeze to death. ”
"The ...... on the other side of the enemy" As an old guy who has fought a lot of battles, the veteran has some lingering palpitations.
"Don't worry, it's been found out above, those Dongzhao troops are busy with the New Year, and they are not prepared at all, this time we will attack suddenly, hit and run, your kid's kung fu running is first-class, don't worry about anything, we can't beat the Han army, can't even the Dongzhao army be cleaned up?" The officer lowered his voice and laughed.
When it was completely dark, Guo Fu summoned a group of officers under him, looked at everyone, and said excitedly: "Everyone, you have already made clear the goal of our action this time, what we have to do is to rob these eight villages, you know what the situation is in our army, if you don't get something back, sooner or later you will become a light pole, and the soldiers under your command must run out, so this time, we must grab it thoroughly, as long as we need it, we will get it back." ”
"General Guo, what should we do if the enemy's reinforcements come? It's easy to grab, but when we come back, we must have brought a lot of stuff with us, and the action is bound to be slow. ”
"Don't worry, this operation is not only us, the general's personal guard battalion will also follow us to act together, and the reinforcements will be handed over to the general, we just need to rob it." Guo Fu said with a smile.
Hearing Guo Fu's words, everyone was relieved at once, the general's personal guard battalion was the strongest combat force in the whole army, and all of them were cavalry, if the general also personally led the team to act, then the possibility of the success of this sudden attack was greatly increased.
"Fuck it, I'm crazy poor." A tooth general roared.
"We can't count on the imperial court, we still have to rely on ourselves. Damn, no matter how powerful his Han army is, now Lao Tzu is out of the way, stretching out his head and stabbing his head, shrinking his head with a knife, Lao Tzu is willing to have a good time. ”
"If the court is like this, what should we do, we can't go back and rob it, this time, what will we do in the future?" There were different voices ringing out.
"Damn, what do you do so much, let's talk about it after a while, this year, living a day is a day, there is wine today and drunk today." Someone shouted.
Listening to the shouts of his subordinates, Guo Fu's excitement was like being poured a scoop of cold water on his head, yes, even if he grabbed it this time, what should he do when he goes back, this kind of thing can not be repeated, it is impossible to succeed every time.
"Prepare to go, you listen to me, if you want to succeed, the speed of the march is crucial, today, your soldiers are full of food and drink, run for me with all your strength, the faster the soldiers, the faster we are, the higher the probability of our success. Whether you can have a good year depends on this action. Guo Fu shouted loudly. (To be continued......)
