Chapter 336: Dividing Troops and Dispatching Generals

Xiao Ding communicated with Song Yinzi and the generals in the county hall and learned some news from the scouts. So he tried to try to lead the enemy into the valley of the Great Yuling and set up an ambush to annihilate him.

However, the general idea is already there, but the specifics need to be worked out slowly. So Xiao Ding decided to check the terrain in person and then make specific arrangements.

A soldier helped Xiao Ding bring breakfast, and Xiao Ding ate it quickly. Then he picked up the arrow and began to divide the troops.

At present, in Qianling County, in addition to the 10,000 forbidden troops and 10,000 Xiang troops brought by Xiao Ding and others, the 5,000 soldiers in Jishui County have been assigned to Bin County and Qu County to defend the city, and at the same time, there are as many as seven or eight thousand troops in Bin County and Qu County.

At the same time, Lu Changping was also sent to return to Jishui County with 2,000 troops to incorporate the troops into the garrison of Jishui County, and then asked Lu Changping to lead 2,000 defenders of Jishui County to escort some supplies to Qianling County.

At present, Bin County and Qu County each left 5,000 soldiers to defend the city, which was used to monitor the more than 10,000 enemy troops in Yongcheng County. Xiao Ding of Qianling County arranged for Lu Changping to lead 2,000 defenders and 1,000 troops from Jishui County to defend the city.

For the remaining 20,000 troops, Xiao Ding sent the Han brothers and the Yang family sisters and brothers to lead them out of the city and advance to Shaoxian County on the south side of the Dayu Mountains.

For the safety of Song Yinzi, Xiao Ding asked Song Yinzi to stay in Qianling County on this expedition, but Song Yinzi did not insist on following this time. Because he had just witnessed the tragic scene of the attack on Qianling County in the past few days, he had also experienced the dangers on the battlefield. So after listening to Xiao Ding's arrangement, he honestly stayed in Qianling County.

After Xiao Ding followed the army into the valley of Da Yuling, he found that the route connecting Qianling County and Shao County was not wide, and there were many trees and weeds on the slopes on both sides of the road. Indeed, as Lu Changping said, it is more suitable for ambush. Just lay in ambush among the grass and trees on the hillsides on both sides of the road. As for whether to set arrows or set fire, in fact, it is okay, as long as you can kill the enemy.

The main thing is how to attract the enemy army is the biggest problem. It is impossible to lure the enemy army over, and setting up an ambush is equivalent to not setting up.

When the army came to the outside of Shaoxian, it was already night. Although the distance between the two counties is not too far, the mountain road is difficult to travel, which affects the speed of the march.

Xiao Ding ordered to set up camp ten miles outside Shaoxian. It is not advisable to attack the city at night, but after dinner, Xiao Ding still plans to arrange the ambush in advance.

So, Xiao Ding first told the generals about his combat strategy, and then picked up the arrow and ordered: "The two brothers Han Qi and Han Qi listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Han Qi and Han Qi stood up and saluted.

"I order you two to lead five thousand forbidden troops, take the beaded crossbow, and go to the narrow part of the valley to ambush them. Bring enough dry food and drinking water, you can rest in place tonight, and wait for tomorrow when our army lures the enemy over, and you will lead people to use Lianzhu crossbows to ambush! Xiao Ding said.

"The last general will obey the order!" After Han Qi and Han Qi took the arrow, they left the big tent and prepared to go.

Xiao Ding then picked up the second arrow and said, "Gao Hongxiu, Luo Sikou listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Gao Hongxiu and Luo Sikou got up and hugged their fists in response.

"I order you two to lead five thousand forbidden troops, with weapons such as crossbows and bows and arrows, and ambush at the mouth of the valley at this end of Shaoxian, when the enemy army is introduced into the valley, don't move first, and when the enemy army is ambushed by our army, when the defeat returns, you block the valley mouth and intercept it!" Xiao Ding commanded.

"The last general commands!" Gao Hongxiu and Luo Sikou both took the arrow and turned around to leave the account.

"Yang Yueling listens to orders!" Xiao Ding picked up an arrow again and shouted.

"Cockroach crawling deputy marshal, the last will be!" Yang Yueling came out of the list and said.

"General Yang, I order you to lead the three commanders and the 5,000 Xiang army, bring siege equipment, and take advantage of the night tonight to secretly ambush in the mountain col west of Shao County, and wait for tomorrow, after the enemy army goes out of the city and enters the valley, you lead the men and horses to take advantage of the emptiness in Shao County to attack the city."

"The last general understands!" Yang Yueling took the order.

Xiao Ding raised the arrow again and shouted: "Yang Jingtian, Yang Jingze listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Yang Jingtian and Yang Jingze replied.

"I order you two to lead the remaining 5,000 van troops, carry all the supplies that our army has carried, and go to attack Shaoxian early tomorrow morning. I guess Song Yinbei must have already learned the news that our army's 20,000 troops have come to the city, you go to the city tomorrow to call for battle, if Song Yinbei dares to go out of the city to meet the battle, he will definitely bring out all the defenders in the city. Therefore, when the two of you go to battle, you will only be defeated, not won. And when you are defeated, you must retreat into the valley, and at the same time throw the supplies you bring on the road while retreating. When the enemy sees that there is a large amount of military supplies to pick up, they will inevitably follow closely. Until you lure the enemy to our ambush, you organize your troops to turn around and stop the enemy. When the time comes, the enemy army will be surrounded in the valley, just like fish on the anvil, only for the sake of our army's annihilation! ”

"The last general commands!" Yang Jingtian and Yang Jingze hugged their fists and took the arrow, and then went out.

After some arrangement, Xiao Ding's heart finally had a little confidence in victory, and said in his heart that this battle depends on whether Song Yinbei dares to go out of the city tomorrow to face the battle. If he didn't dare to go out of the city to face the battle, then his arrangements tonight would be in vain.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, only Yue Yurou is now left sitting next to Xiao Ding. After seeing Xiao Ding's arrangement, she admired it in her heart, and said to Xiao Ding with a smile: "Brother Xiao Ding, it's not early, why don't you go back to the tent to rest?" ”

"After a while, I went out of the camp to inspect the circle, and then went back to rest." Xiao Ding replied.

"Brother Ding, you have arranged all the generals and soldiers out, then, tomorrow, which way of soldiers and horses will you follow?" Yue Yurou said questioningly.

"This, I should be with the team of the Yang brothers, if Song Yinzi does not dare to go out of the city when the battle is called, I will have to find a way to let them out of the city temporarily." Xiao Ding is most worried about this problem. If the enemy does not dare to go out of the city, or does not dare to pursue, then this strategic plan of his own will be completely defeated.

"If Song Yinbei really doesn't dare to go out of the city to face the battle tomorrow, Brother Ding, do you have any way to let them out of the city?" Yue Yurou asked.

"This ......" Xiao Ding Xin said, he really didn't think of any way to let Song Yinbei lead his troops out of the city for the time being, if this is the case, then what should he do tomorrow?
