Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 42 The Secret Passage (I)

"This... Baihu, if you don't stay, where are you going to take us? An elderly woman asked tremblingly.

"Go to Manggu Mountain, where there is the camp of our Ming army." Jiang Yu replied, "There will be some soldiers left behind in the camp to ensure your safety." ”

Manggu Mountain is a mountain range that extends from the southwest of Mengyang City to the southwest, and the river valley between the mountains is dotted with large and small cottages. The camp of the Ming army was built on the most northeastern part of the entire mountain range, the most dangerous mountain, and controlled the road to Mengyang City.

This time to take over the affairs of Nansangzhai, Jiang Yuyan left three small flags with a total of 30 people to guard, and the remaining seven small flags all crossed the mountain path and came to Nansangzhai.

In the area of Manggu Mountain, according to the information obtained from reconnaissance, there are still more than 1,000 Luchuan soldiers in total, and there are more than 200 people who can be counted as militia members left behind in Nansangzhai. If the Luchuan army is dispatched, then this battle will not be easy.

………………

"So how do you deal with the situation at hand?" After Jiang Yuyan gathered all the officers and intelligence department personnel in one place, everyone began to discuss.

"Right now, our manpower is ten times that of before, and it is not a problem to deal with the Luchuan soldiers." Li Xiaoqi is quite optimistic.

"But let's face it up to the reality - although these people in the stockade have some hunting methods, they are better than inexperienced recruits in battle, but after all, they are different from the trained Ming army." Wang Xiaoqi expressed his concerns.

Jiang Yuyan nodded: "So, we still need to defeat the strong with the weak." ”

Ah Tian carefully studied the topographical map around Nansang Village one by one: "In fact, the main breakthrough point of Nansang Village lies in the walled gate, if the walled gate can be locked, it will be difficult for the enemy to break through the village." ”

"But then we can't get out of it." Chen Ziyu reminded.

"Prime Minister Chen is right, in this way, the Luchuan soldiers only need to surround us, and our situation in the stockade will become extremely dangerous." Wang Xiaoqi nodded.

"But if they want to surround the stockade, they'll be at a disadvantage." Ah Tian asked back.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Jiang Yu's eyes lit up, and he realized the problem.

Ah Tian's slender jade refers to a little on the topographic map of Nansangzhai. This is the latest topographic map drawn by the Ministry of Intelligence, which has been greatly improved from the level of a few months ago, whether it is the variety of colors, the use of signs or the fineness of the brushstrokes, it has a craft-like texture.

The outer wall of Nansang Village is connected to the mountain cliff, and a considerable area is enclosed as a whole, and the terrain of this circle of walls and mountain cliffs is particularly dangerous, so if you want to completely surround the village, you need a considerable number of manpower, and this will inevitably bring about the dispersion of troops.

"If they were to surround us, they would be in a dangerous situation." Ah Tian and Jiang Yuyan said this sentence almost at the same time. Ah Tian was embarrassed because of this accident, and his cheeks were quite embarrassed.

is worthy of being the daughter of the Duke of Qianguo, and her sensitive sense of smell to war is like being born. Jiang Yu glanced at Ah Tian approvingly, and randomly pointed out the plan of the entire battle: "We are here, we have to exchange our passivity for the enemy's passivity, and then grasp the initiative." ”

"That is, we will first build the fortifications of the walled gate, lead the Luchuan army to surround the village, and then send troops to break these Luchuan soldiers who surrounded the village." Li Xiaoqi nodded with a clear look.

"You leave a team of the most elite small flags, and I, them, and the militia in the village are responsible for guarding the village and bringing the Luchuan soldiers over." Jiang Yugang began to make arrangements.

"Li Zongqi, Wang Zongqi, the two of you each have three small flags, responsible for hiding in the cracks in the mountains outside Nansang Village to observe the situation, once the Luchuan army completes the encirclement network, you will lead the army to attack."

Chen Ziyu drew a circle on the map with a serious expression: "But Baihu, there are a few loopholes in the fortifications of this Nansang Village, these connections with the mountain cliffs are all places that can be forcibly attacked but difficult to defend, what if they gather superior forces to attack a little bit and break the village?" ”

“…… Then put them in the stockade. Jiang Yu thought for a long time: "Once the village is broken, it is impossible for this Nansang village to be defended, it is better to turn this place into a trap and use the village to trap the Luchuan soldiers." ”

"If that's the case, it's a ploy, but how?" Chen Ziyu was curious.

"Come with me." Jiang Yuyan stood up: "Show you something." ”

………………

Walking out of the bamboo building of the owner of the village to discuss things, there are villagers coming and going outside. Since the first owner of Nansang Village, the owner of the bamboo building has been living for the family of various generations of the owner of the village, until a few months ago, the invasion of the Luchuan soldiers, the family of the owner of the village was killed.

As the new successor to power, Mang Ge naturally did not have the courage to live in this bamboo building, after all, the people here were the symbols of the highest power in the village, and this was not allowed to exist in the Luchuan army - they were the masters of the village. Therefore, the main bamboo building of this village has been empty for a few months.

After Jiang Yugang issued the declaration of the anti-Japanese war between Nansangzhai and the Luchuan Army, he took the personnel and officers of the Intelligence Department into this bamboo building. It's really magnificent, it's spacious, and it's perfect for meetings and stuff like that.

Walking on the path of Nansangzhai, Jiang Yuyan looked at the busy villagers, and his heart was also quite emotional. This may be the largest migration in the history of Nansangzhai, and many of the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, many of them are moving from home, and the carts dragged by ponies are piled up with all kinds of household devices.

"In the end, the villagers still have to leave the village." Ah Tian said regretfully: "Sure enough, there is still no way." ”

"Ah Tian, what you said is not right," An Bai said with a smile: "Their departure now is only temporary, and when we defeat the Luchuan soldiers, they can come back." ”

"But......" Ah Tian looked at the surrounding villagers, and after making sure they weren't paying attention to him, he lowered his voice and said, "We may have to completely destroy the village!" ”

"What's this? It's also the only option. An Bai disagreed: "When the time comes, we can help them build a better stockade together, and if we win the battle, we can ask for more people from the commander of Meng Yangcheng to help on the side of Manggu Mountain." ”

"Okay..."Ah Tian was still a little apprehensive. Jiang Yugang told her before that the strategy was too vicious, not only for the Luchuan soldiers, but also for the villagers of Nansangzhai.

However, after all, they are the weak side, and they are obviously less than the Luchuan army in terms of manpower, and they are not qualified to fight head-on, so they can only make this strange move. She thought, sighed softly, shook her head, and followed Jiang Yugang to the depths of the cottage.
