Chapter 56: Ambush
Du Qian thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? Do I need the guts to hijack an officer's ship? As far as I can now, if I really encounter such a caravan, my legs will not be so lame.
It's a good idea, but you can't use it yourself.
The imperial court did not give an order, and if he did this, he would be provoking the border.
The court wants to go to war, and he doesn't have a strong relationship, and when he knows, the Rakshasa people will definitely know it, and they will definitely not be fooled.
Why don't you say that there are people in the DPRK who are good officials? It may not be deliberately promoted, as long as you know some news in advance and get some insiders, you can do things that others dare not do.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Follow the wisdom of Li Mu. The Rakshasas must have been fooled. ”
Liu Yu smiled: "I also made it clearer." In this matter, the Rakshasa people have been fooled, so we will do the big ticket. I eat meat, and it's no problem for Ling Lang to drink soup. ”
"The Rakshasa people are not fooled, I am a great ability, and it is impossible to rely on these thousand people to capture the castle of the Rakshasa people without artillery."
"Then if you don't be fooled, then we will go back to our own homes and find our own mothers. The relationship is still there, in the future, Ling Lang really went to Wude Palace, and I will take care of it, it's okay. ”
Du Qian was overjoyed in his heart, but he felt that Liu Yu's words were better than those plasters, and his old legs didn't hurt much.
Gollum struggled to stand up, bowed to Liu Yu and said, "Thank you, Lord Liu." Let's go check the terrain and choose a good location? ”
"Well, without further ado. If there is already a fight elsewhere, it will be too late for us. Master Du has an injury in his leg, so don't go to check the terrain. Ling Lang and I will take people there, and the adults will gather the people of Handori City. ”
"We want credit, and the soldiers want money. If you break the Rakshasa Castle, you and I don't want the money and furs in it, so we will share it all. ”
Du Qian said yes again and again, thinking that if it was really done, then the little fur and silver would be a penny? Have military merits and official positions, but are you afraid that you will not have money in the future?
However, it is rare that this Lord Xiao Liu can think about how the people in the city can contribute.
Without further ado, the two are no longer polite.
Liu Yu came out of the house and called Du Feng, who was waiting for the result outside the door.
Du Feng was overjoyed when he saw his father on crutches, and he couldn't guess that this was the end of the negotiation, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
I didn't know if I was looking forward to negotiating or not.
But now there is only joy left in my heart, and I don't even think about the regret of "how did the negotiation get done". At this time, I realized that what I had been looking forward to in my heart was to talk about this matter.
followed Liu Yu on the horse, and called the steamed buns and a few other good players. rowing a small boat, let the horse follow the boat to swim across, directly across the Songhua River, and directly into the fortress of the Rakshasa people on the bank of the Heilongjiang River.
Lying in the bushes far away from the fortress, Liu Yu took the telescope and observed for a while.
Hannibal, on the other side, was indeed organizing people to repair the fortress and was digging a pit outside.
But there are still a large number of Cossacks who do not work at all, just watching the excitement from the side, and it is estimated that this black man will not be able to control this group of unrestrained Cossacks.
Judging from the state of the other side, it should be unprepared for the start of a war with Shun Russia. Or even if there is a war, more than a thousand miles away, these people may not have received news yet.
This is an opportunity.
Retreating from the fortress, downstream, Liu Yu chose a "cemetery" for the Cossack.
Right next to the river, next to it is a small valley, not far from the castle of the Rakshasas.
If you light a bonfire and cover it with some fresh reeds to smoke it, it will be enough to see it in Stepanovsk upstream.
The nearby woods are dense enough to ambush the troops.
There is only one way to retreat on the road, as long as the back road is cut off, those Cossacks who grew up in the Don River will be water, and their first reaction must be to jump into the water and flee for their lives.
Prepare some small boats and hide them in advance, here is the downstream, swimming against the current, those Cossacks who jumped into the water and fled for their lives could not outrun the birch bark boats.
After carefully inspecting the surrounding environment, Liu Yu decided to choose the location to lure the enemy into an ambush.
After remembering the markers and locations, the group returned to the Acropolis of Hendori along the same route.
A few days later, the people brought by Jiao Lao Butu had also returned, and Liu Yu spent money to buy some food and wine from the government soldiers and military households in the Acropolis, rested for two days, and then started the operation.
With seventy men, he drove the wagon to the valley. The carriages were formed into a car formation, and some tea cakes and rhubarb were deliberately dried outside.
Seventy was chosen because seventy is a good number.
There were too few people, and there were many Cossacks who were not willing to share the money.
If there were only a dozen or so people, so many goods, maybe the Cossacks who were found would have done it with a few good buddies, and the fewer people they were, the more money they shared. That would be pointless.
There were too many people, and the Cossacks also knew that they would want their lives first and then their money.
If hundreds of people relied on the rook formation to defend, with the Cossacks' many years of experience in playing the rook formation, they also knew that they could not attack, they might really "lend a hand, take the initiative to rescue, and ask for some benefits fairly".
The three captured cannons were also arranged for Jiao Lao Butu, so that he should not be in a hurry to fire the cannons, and wait until the Cossacks approached to come in another wave.
Liu Yu lay in ambush in the woods with the remaining musketeers, and once the Cossacks were fooled and attacked the chariot formation of Lau Butu, he surrounded him from both flanks.
Du Feng took the light cavalry of the soldiers of Handoliwei and waited behind. Look for an opportunity to attack, or when the Cossacks are fleeing, chase and kill them as much as possible and prevent them from returning to the castle.
Du Qian asked another officer of the Handoliwei, with some Hezhe men, to prepare a birch bark boat and hide it in the reeds upstream.
If you encounter a Cossack jumping into the water and fleeing, row a boat to chase and kill.
The mood was very high and the morale was high. They like this kind of ambush warfare.
Du Qian and Liu Yu jointly said: Capture the Rakshasa Castle, and everyone will share all the skins and silver. They don't smoke half according to the rules.
In addition, in addition to these furs and money, the soldiers were also happy to get some of the population.
Under normal circumstances, if some people are captured, the imperial court will arrange it nearby. Captured people were usually assigned to the government soldiers as tenant farmers. This place is not Guannai, the land is vast and sparsely populated, there is land, and what is lacking is people who farm the land.
The captured expedition ship was on standby at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, hidden in a puddle of water and useful in the future. All captured captives were kept under strict guard and could not escape.
After the arrangement was completed, Liu Yu jumped into the prepared car formation.
"Brother Shu, the pressure on you here is the greatest. Gotta draw them in, I'll have to outflank them. You've got to resist it. If you can't bear it, then the will be a chariot formation for me to lead people to besiege hundreds of Cossacks. ”
"There can't be any more people. If it is more, I am afraid that those Rakshasas will really choose to be a good person to help. ”
Jiao Lao Butu smiled heartily and said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord." These people are not chicks, they have all cut people in the northwest. How many Cossacks can come? It's only three hundred, and the brothers have a number in their hearts, so they naturally have the morale and can bear it. ”
"I'm not afraid that I won't be able to carry it, I'm afraid that the Cossacks won't come. If those Rakshasas really don't come, there really won't be anything about it? ”
Liu Yu thought for a while and nodded cautiously.
"If you don't come, you really can't help it."
I didn't have the ability to rely on this manpower to take down the fortress defended by a general who had studied fortress engineering in France. Give me 3,000 soldiers and 50 heavy artillery, and maybe I'll try. ”
After saying this, he pulled Jiao Lao Butu aside and whispered, "Brother Shu, I have something to tell you." ”
Seeing Liu Yu's mysteriousness, Jiao Lao Butu was a little puzzled. Then Liu Yu's words almost made him jump out of his throat.
"Until now, I won't hide it from you. The Kunlun slave among the Rakshasas...... He is the righteous son of the old king of Rakshasa. You know why I had to do it, right? ”
Mutter......
With a lot of effort, he saved up half a mouthful of saliva, swallowed it vigorously, and moistened his dry throat.
The heartbeat was like the shaking of the earth during the Shaanxi-Gansu earthquake a few years ago, and the rumbling could not be stilled at all. The blood in the blood vessels rushed to his head, and he only felt that his head was full of blood red.
The adopted son of the Rakshasa King?
Oh my God! This...... No wonder, no wonder Lord Liu is determined to do such a vote.
If this is done, Lord Liu will eat a lot of fat meat, and Lao Tzu will not only drink soup with him, maybe he will be lucky enough to eat the flesh.
"it."
After holding it for a long time, I finally held back a sentence.
"Don't worry, sir. I took out all the strength of breastfeeding, and I must resist it. Adults don't need to rush here, they must wait until the Rakshasas are all hooked and the formation is unfolded before outflanking. ”
Liu Yu patted him on the shoulder and nodded vigorously at him.
As soon as Liu Yu left, Jiao Lao Butu knelt by the river.
"Rakshasa Cossacks, please, come."
Knock knock three heads, naturally not for those Cossacks, but for his own great credit.
In the years before the dynasty, the eunuchs and fathers had to judge the seniority and rank of the officials, not to mention such meritorious parents. If you really call your father, you can call it, and Jiao Lao Butu doesn't mind being slapped twice by his father when he comes to the underworld.
After kowtowing and preparing to stop, a bonfire burned by the river.
When the flames rose, all the freshly cut reed leaves pressed against the flames, and yellow smoke was suffocated as if it were a cumulonimbus cloud.
Soaring into the blue sky, there is no wind, even from dozens of miles away.
Liu Yu looked at the rising smoke from a distance, thinking that this should be about the same. Everything that needs to be done has been done, and all that remains is to do your best and obey the destiny of God.
It is said that he has done what he has to do, and this tactic is used on the regular army, but it is useless. It can be used on the Cossacks who are committed to robbery, and it can be regarded as tailor-made.
If you are not fooled, then you can only say "fate is strange".
Knowing that no matter how wide his eyes are, he will not increase the chance of half a point, and it will not increase the possibility of half a point from praying to the Virgin Mary, Liu Yu rolled up a cigarette, took a few puffs, and smoked until his brain was a little dizzy before he calmed down.
The young man who could write a few Russian on the side was writing a few lines according to Liu Yu's order.
In the distance, Cherikov, who had chosen to tie his hair after being captured, was being escorted to Liu Yu's side.
Liu Yu closed his eyes and drove away the dizziness caused by smoking, knowing that this matter could only wait, and it was the right way to calm down and prepare for the next step.
The young man who could write Russian finally stopped his pen, and the deer blood used as paint was smeared with several pieces of skin that had been put together.
The Russian language on it is written very large, and it is only a few simple letters.
"Refuse to pay the toothsak!"
