Just when Lu Ding didn't know what to say, Xu Gaozhuo answered: "My lord, the student guesses, Lord Lu probably wants to say that since Li Xiangbao is useless, then it is necessary to transfer the surrounding troops to suppress the bandits, and Lord Lu is willing to supervise the battle for the adults, and he will capture the culprit alive and sacrifice it in front of the adults." ”

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Fu looked at Lu Ding and deliberately indulged Xu Gaozhuo's thoughts of covering for Lu Ding.

When Lu Ding saw him like this, he naturally knew that what Xu Gaozhuo said must be in line with Ye Fu's wishes, and even said: "Yes, this is exactly what he meant. ”

"Hmm." Ye Fu nodded, "Then do you think it is better to transfer which department to help?" ”

"This~~" Lu Ding hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "My lord, I think that maybe I should send the garrison of the first brigade under Tang Garrison adjacent to the left side of Phoenix City. First, this is the old team that started as an adult, and it is easier to use. Second, they are also relatively close to each other, which is easier to deploy. Third, Tang Shoubei is an old subordinate of the adults and an old colleague of the lowly position, so it should be more tacit to cooperate. ”

Ye Fu didn't make it difficult for him to do much in this kind of thing, but just responded lightly, "Whatever you want." ”

Immediately after, he waved his hand and let a few people out.

Jin Yichuan entered the house and happened to meet the two of them.

Hurriedly nodding to each other to say hello, Lu Ding chased Xu Gaozhuo outside.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu." Lu Ding caught up with Xu Gaozhuo and accompanied him, "Mr. Xu, just now, did you say the wrong thing?" Adults don't seem to be very happy? ”

Xu Gaozhuo smiled lightly and said, "It's not a mistake, it's just that I didn't make the adults very satisfied." If my expectations are correct, my lord actually wanted to use this group of rogue soldiers to test the sword for the martial arts hall, but I didn't expect that you didn't even mention it. However, Lord Lu, you don't need to worry too much. Adults are not very satisfied, but again, they are not very dissatisfied. The key is how well you fought in this battle. If you play well, everything will be fine. However, if you don't play well~~ Lord Lu, then you have to ask for more blessings. ”

It is now June of the forty-seventh year of Wanli, and more than two months have passed since Ye Fu was officially promoted to the head of the dangerous mountain.

The students of the martial arts hall have gone through a full four months of training since they entered school at the end of February, plus the tempering of the smooth battle that Ye Fu led them to help Xindian in March, at least it seems that it has become quite a climate. It's just that this price is really not small, a full third of the downsizing, there are those who died and were disabled in that battle, and naturally there are also those who fail to pass the monthly assessment and are laid off. There were less than two hundred people left, which made Ye Fu feel pain every time he thought about it.

But Rao is like this, he still doesn't want to miss any opportunity to try the knife.

This time, the bandits were faced with the stray soldiers who were called 'cruel and cunning', and compared with the previous battle, the actual combat significance was obviously much stronger.

It's a pity that Lu Ding didn't understand his intentions at the first time, so he simply dispelled this idea.

~~

On June 14, Xu Gaozhuo and Lu Ding parted ways not far from Phoenix.

The two each brought a team of men, Xu Gaozhuo went to Phoenix City to seize the military power of the incompetent Li Xiangbao, while Lu Ding met Tang Wang, who received the order to come in person, and the soldiers and horses of the two battalions under his command not long after the two separated.

As soon as Lu Ding saw the old man, he couldn't help but count, "Old Tang, I didn't say you!" You soldier, you really don't train very well! ”

Tang Wang's face was gloomy at that time, and after hearing this, he said to Lu Ding: "It's not that my soldiers can't do it, it's really a plain battle, the enemy is all cavalry, there is no trace, there is no trace, and our advantages cannot be brought into play." Otherwise, my two battalions would have flattened their mouths a long time ago! ”

"Don't say that to me!" Lu Ding raised his eyebrows and said to him, "Since my lord was still in Sanyang, he attached great importance to the training of soldiers and horses. Don't you say that against the Tartars, just this little bandit can make you so embarrassed, let the adults see it, and don't you skin you alive? ”

Tang Wang still wanted to emphasize the objective reasons in front of him, but when he thought of Ye Fu, he couldn't speak.

For this general who can fight and is good to his subordinates, he Tang Wang is convinced.

As Ye Fu's descendants, it is conceivable that there will be a great future in the future. For example, Lu Ding's current position, can't he Tang Wang sit down?

Of course, all this depends on strength to speak, and this crackdown on bandits is a good opportunity.

Stomping his foot fiercely, Tang Wang said, "Our department has seen several battles with the rogue soldiers before. They are cunning! The arson attacked and disturbed, and at the touch of a button, he was able to fight the troops I accidentally left behind! ”

Lu Ding nodded, "I've heard, it's not easy to deal with, but it's not completely impossible!" ”

He said as he surveyed the terrain around him.

In fact, this time, it was obvious that Ye Fu could directly give Tang Wang an order and let him do it. But he just ordered Lu Ding's general, and, at first, according to Ye Fu's meaning, he didn't want to use Tang Wang's power.

In the final analysis, I still hope to take this opportunity to give Lu Ding a little prestige as a Chinese army and supervising the camp office for Ye Fu.

Therefore, even though he knew that he should not interfere with Tang Wang's command without authorization, when he understood Ye Fu's intentions and could see that Tang Wang could not achieve Ye Fu's strategic intentions well, he should take over Tang Wang's command.

"Old Tang, we can't wait to be beaten so passively. Not to mention that you are two battalions, even if it is ten battalions, it will not take too much time for this bandit to slowly encroach and crush the combat confidence of the entire army. If it goes on like this, it must collapse! ”

Lu Ding looked around with his knife and ordered Tang Wang.

"So, doesn't it mean that this gang of swaggers is crazy? I heard that in the past, they only plundered the people passing by, but now, not to mention that even the army does not let go, and even dares to play the trick of plucking the goose on our heads. That's just right! Let's play with him. Old Tang, you call people to gather all the baggage you brought. Didn't he pluck the feathers of geese? Didn't he break ground on Tai Sui's head? I'd like to see if he really dares to touch it! ”

Tang Wang immediately agreed, and instructed his subordinates to take people to do it immediately.

According to the new establishment, each battalion has a 13-member civilian brigade, which is also a regular establishment of soldiers, but it is not equipped with weapons, but is specially used for transporting combat materials, battlefield ambulance, and so on.

Tang Wang's two civilian teams were targeted, and in the two days since they came into contact, they have suffered extremely heavy losses. Not only did they lose a lot of baggage, but they also lost two-thirds of their soldiers.

Now, only one-third of the manpower, with a pitiful baggage, was concentrated by Tang Wang, and was in the center of the entire encirclement.

Immediately afterwards, under Lu Ding's order, the two battalions under Tang Wang were quickly split.

Among them, the first and second outposts of the Yanwu Department of the Guantai were ambushed on the east side, the first and second outposts of the Yaoguan Department were ambushed on the west side, and the third outpost of the two departments was concentrated on the south side, leaving only the north side.

"Is this a pocket array?" Tang Wang looked at Lu Ding's arrangement, shook his head secretly, and reminded, "The enemy is cunning, such an obvious arrangement, I'm afraid I won't be fooled." ”

"I don't think so." Lu Ding laughed, "It's true that they are cunning, but there are even more people who are not enough to swallow elephants." Our troops are all infantry, and their troops are all cavalry, and we have a disadvantage in the first place. As long as they are fast enough, such an arrangement is not a turtle in an urn, but a self-defeating arrangement. ”

"Then why are you arranging it like this?" Tang Wang was puzzled.

Lu Ding smiled and didn't answer directly, but said, "After all, your two tiger squat cannons have not fired a single shot now, so presumably it won't have much effect in the future, so leave it to me for the time being." ”
