Huangfu Song ordered Liu Qing to take 2,000 soldiers and horses along the official road to block the Taiping Dao troops with an unknown number, which was another chore. Therefore, Liu Qing just ordered his subordinates to advance cautiously, and when he learned that there were still more than twenty miles away from Taiping Road in front. Liu Qing led his team to turn a corner at a fork in the road - the beautiful name is "to the rebels and bandits".

From the point of view of the direction of this fork in the road, Liu Qing's arrangement is correct, and if you follow the fork in the road, you can indeed go around the back of the Taiping Road. Liu Qing slowly led his subordinates into the army, and the news of the horse exploration came one after another:

"The striker of the traitor has gone through a fork in the road."

"The rebels marched in two groups."

"The back of the traitors is approaching a fork in the road."

"There are a lot of women with baggage in the back of the thieves."

After getting the last news, Liu Qing's eyes lit up. He commanded, "Explore! ”

Soon, Tanma brought back more accurate information: "There are more than 500 people in the rear team of traitors, half of them are women, half of them are teenagers, there are very few rebels in the prime of life, and all the rebels carry a large number of packages. ”

Women, teenagers, parcels. These three keywords made Liu Qing feel very good, and his subordinates also smiled and said to Liu Qing, "Assassin Shi Gong, the traitor is arranged like this, he must not be the old bandit of Taiping Dao, if we can defeat the rebel team, it will be a great achievement." ”

Such a suggestion is completely in line with Liu Qing's idea, women, teenagers, and parcels represent a flock of fat sheep. If you're lucky, it's the result of wealth, sex, and the enemy's head. Even if you are not so lucky, you can have both. The worst outcome is to be able to make a profit.

Afraid that there would be any traps in the middle, Liu Qing sent the probe horse out like a flowing stream, and soon determined again that the strength of the rebel thief was at the front, and the women and children were left in the rear team. At this point, Liu Qing also made up his mind, and he ordered his subordinates to speed up the march and attack this rebel army from behind. Two thousand against five hundred, Liu Qing is still very confident of winning.

After some rushing, Liu Qing finally led his subordinates to start attacking this Taiping Dao force from behind. However, this army of women and teenagers is as difficult to swallow as a hedgehog. Attacked from behind, a small group of young men rushed out of this mixed team, and they actually lined up neatly, forming a three-fold formation of swords, shields, guns, and bows.

The pace of the Han Yong slowed down, they were officers and soldiers, and they knew what the result would be if they collided head-on. As soon as it was delayed, the woman and the boy ran away. This made Liu Qing anxious, and finally had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but the cooked duck showed signs of flying away.

"Queue up and release arrows!" Liu Qing shouted hysterically.

After all, there are a large number of officers and soldiers, and the width and thickness of the team are not comparable to the small group of Taiping Dao opposite. Before the officers and soldiers began to approach, the Taipings began to release arrows. The officers and soldiers were only slightly surprised, but they were not afraid. At this distance, the rain of arrows is not accurate at all.

Next, the team of Taipingdao, who had finished releasing the arrows, turned around and ran. The original momentum of desperate fighting disappeared without a trace.

"Chase!" Looking at his stunned subordinates, Liu Qing shouted.

After the chase went on for more than a mile, the spears thrown by Taiping Dao began to appear on the ground, and after chasing more than a mile, abandoned baggage and straw sandals appeared on the ground. Han Yong excitedly rushed up to pick up the package and opened it, inside was clothes, and then rummaged inside, and found copper coins and scattered silver. At this time, the Han Yong who untied the burden began to snatch each other, and the Han Yong outside the robbery circle began to continue to pursue the boys and girls who fled.

After all, the teenagers had no strength, and some of them couldn't run, so they threw the package they were carrying on their backs on the ground. At the beginning, Han Yong also opened the package to take a look, and each time Han Yong showed clothes and money from it. Now, Han Yong, who has already benefited, wants to get more, and Han Yong, who has not benefited, wants to go up and grab a handful.

The teenagers ran very fast, and every few packages they dropped would lead to Han Yong's robbery. After chasing out for another two or three miles, Han Yong only picked up two or three hundred packages, but he couldn't catch up with the fleeing teenager. Looking at the teenager running behind, panting, the package on his back was jolting up and down. The Han Yongs, who had chased for four or five miles and had not yet been able to pick up a package, were panting and scolding, threatening, and continued to chase like hungry wolves.

Liu Qing is still relatively sober, after chasing along the way, the 2,000 Han soldiers and townsmen he led out have already run like sheep. The whole team has become a long line, and the officers cannot find the soldiers, and the soldiers cannot find the officers.

"Collect the troops! Collect the troops! Liu Qing shouted loudly, hoping to gather the troops.

"The Han army is starting to close?" Bian Xi soon received information from the reconnaissance unit.

Regarding Liu Qing's astuteness, Lan Wei, the deputy chief of staff on the side, smiled happily: "Liu Qing still understands!" However, it was too late! ”

After a pause, Lan Wei praised: "Those little dolls did a good job!" Ring the arrow and start the next battle! ”

.........

"The battle is not over yet! Don't pick on it, everyone! Zhang Luo shouted at the boys and girls.

This army of recruits has completed its task of luring the enemy brilliantly, and it is really a poor man's child who has long been in charge, and this army has marched more than ten miles back and forth, and the speed is not slower than that of the Han army composed of adults. But Zhang Luo couldn't let them rest like this, they had to put themselves into the next battle.

There are at most 1,200 young and strong people in Zhang Luo's troops, about 800 men and women, and about 500 are old and weak women and children who cannot be pulled into the battlefield at all. In the face of Liu Qing's army of the Han army, Zhang Luo's strength did not have an overwhelming advantage.

At the operational meeting of the officer corps, everyone unanimously agreed that Liu Qing, such a pesky guy as a dogskin plaster, must be completely annihilated. Zhang Luo has always pursued the combat idea of "it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers", and although other Han army units have their own characteristics and advantages, they still cannot get rid of the essence of the feudal army in this era, and they are all disposable armies.

Liu Qing's department, which was able to tenaciously appear in front of Zhang Luo after several small defeats, was an outlier even in the Han army. His tenacity, as well as his accurate judgment of the outcome of the war, are enough to prove that Liu Qing is either a very lucky person or a very smart person. These two kinds of people are the last things Zhang Luo wants to deal with on the battlefield.

A mixed force of more than 500 boys and girls began to be mobilized under Zhang Luo's orders. The strategy formulated by the officer corps, after being tacticalized by the General Staff, is a rather simple and straightforward operational process.

After Zhang Luo led his troops to lure Liu Qing into the encirclement, Taiping Dao would attack from the flank and rear. Relying on the military quality and the level of the will to fight, Liu Qing's troops were pushed in the direction of the defeat and retreat of Zhang Luo's troops. What Zhang Luo had to do was to make his troops the final anvil, and the attacking troops behind him would form a hammer and smash Liu Qing's troops in the middle.

The army that once walked in the forefront of nearly a thousand troops was a large army disguised by old and weak women and children and a small number of young and strong, Liu Qing's cunning became his fatal wound at this time, seeing the huge number of enemies, Liu Qing and Liu Qing's subordinates were avoided. Naturally, the intensity of the investigation was greatly reduced, and the truth was not seen through.

By this time, the force had turned back and joined up with Zhang Luo's forces. The individual strength of the Chinese army, which is more than 1,500 people, is weak, and the overall strength has exceeded Liu Qing's strength. On a relatively open flat field, Zhang Luo began to change formation.

Naturally, the elderly, weak, women and children who were unable to take part in the battle were arranged to be in safe places to shout and make noise, and were escorted by recruits who were also lacking in combat effectiveness. At this time, the superiority of having a combat training department or not is fully manifested. With a unified standard for the combat evaluation of troops, it is still impossible to judge who is stronger, but it is possible to effectively judge who does not meet the combat level and who is weaker.

After arranging the "cheerleading team", Zhang Luo discharged the remaining troops in his hands into a simple formation. In the team of 900 people, two female tuns who could fight, a total of 200 people, lined up in the center of the array. A male unit was placed on the left and right. Both of these units are elite units in the front, and junior units in the rear.

After these arrangements were made, the troops had just gasped for breath on the position, and the Han army "retreated" along the road. This direction was originally the offensive direction of the Han army, but Liu Qing was indeed clever enough, and when he felt that something was wrong, he tried to return the same way. However, the staff has been preparing for so long, how can it be possible for Liu Qing to get out easily.
