Yang Zhaofeng returned to the headquarters in the evening, and Hao Shaoqi summoned everyone to listen to his report in person.

After he finished his report, everyone present fell into deep thought. Fighting in the mountains is not as good as in the plains, the troops cannot be deployed, the formation cannot be adjusted, and the command of the soldiers is difficult to communicate.

"I don't know how big the open space in front of the village is?" Song Sima twisted his bitter gourd face and asked Yang Zhaofeng.

"Not big. It is about fifty paces long and no more than ten paces wide. ”

Song Sima stroked the sparse short beard under his chin, turned to Hao Shaoqi and said: "Mr. Qian, according to the situation reported by Staff Officer Yang, the official village is located in the mountains, the terrain is rugged, if the black army joins them with cavalry, it will be difficult to exert the effectiveness of cavalry there. His cavalry could only dismount and fight on foot. "The black army is a detachment of Kong Quanbin, with many horses and few steps, and because they are all dressed in black, they are called by Zhao Yingbing. They were separated from Kong Quanbin in Yanting and went south, and Zhao Ying had been staring at him before, but the black army soldiers and horses had lost their traces near Guangshan, and they probably entered the official village.

"If the black army can only fight on foot, what are we afraid of?" Cui Shuqiang said nonchalantly.

Song Sima didn't look at Cui Shuqiang, and continued: "The most tricky thing now is that the space of the official village is narrow, and it is difficult for the large army to fully deploy. ”

Hao Shaoqi nodded in agreement: "Nine times out of ten, the number of thieves is more than ours, if there is no strategy and we are surrounded by thieves, even if we are trained well, we will inevitably fail." ”

Yang Zhaofeng also agreed: "What Mr. Qian said is very true. The subordinates thought that this attack on the official village could adopt the tactics of small construction and warfare. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Yes. The base battalion is established, with a large team of more than 100 people in a squad of 100 people, and when training in peacetime, it is based on the combat structure of the squad for training. Therefore, in view of the special terrain of this attack on the thief village, our army can go out in small teams and be led by the captain. Each squad is coordinated by the brigade and the general manager, and the combat power of our army can also be brought into play. ”

"If you fight separately in small teams, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch the enemy when you face the enemy, and it will be easy to be broken by the officers and soldiers." Song Sima disagreed and spoke out against it.

"This requires the commanders of each brigade to do their best to suppress and restrain their subordinates, and it is necessary to pass down military orders, and no squad is allowed to pursue alone from the brigade when fighting with officers and soldiers. In my opinion, as long as the various squads are closely united in one place, with the combat strength of the officers and soldiers, it will not be so easy to swallow up an entire brigade. Yang Zhaofeng puffed out his chest and looked very confident.

"But ......" Song Sima still didn't approve of it, and stood there with a black face.

"What? Could it be that General Song had no faith in his brothers in his camp? Cui Shuqiang said coldly, his expression was very joking.

"Fart!" Song Sima's face was blue and purple for a while, he was quite embarrassed, and responded sharply, "When has my son in the right camp been afraid?" ”

Cui Shuqiang laughed "hehe" and said, "I'm not afraid that I didn't listen to you." If you are really not afraid, dare to be the front? ”

Song Sima Ping Suri is low-key, but he is not a soft egg that is allowed to be ridden on his head, he glared at Cui Shuqiang at the moment, bowed down and asked for instructions: "Mr. Qian!" I am willing to take the former brother as the striker, and set foot on the thief village for the thousand presidents! ”

Seeing this, Yang Zhaofeng was afraid that Song and Cui would be arrogant, so he stepped forward and pulled Cui Shuqiang, and said to Song Sima with a smile: "Old Song, the brothers in the camp all have a fighting spirit, whether it is the front or not, please decide!" ”

Song Sima looked at Cui Shuqiang and Yang Zhaofeng coldly, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Hao Shaoqi saw that there was some commotion below, and he also stopped it in time: "Fengzi, what you said is reasonable, this battle is to adapt measures to local conditions and adopt the tactics of a small formation. The former division is the elite of our battalion, and this vanguard position was originally indispensable, but in my opinion, it is better to use this battle as a preparation for this battle. After all, the specific number of officers and troops is still unknown, and if the former boss is allowed to go into battle at the beginning of the battle, it is inevitable that he will be tired from the battle for a long time and lose his sharpness. Therefore, I intend to make the rear boss the vanguard, and when the battle with the officers and troops is in full swing, the front boss will kill in time to break the enemy! "After being in Zhao Ying for so long, Hao Shaoqi pays great attention to learning the strengths of his colleagues around him, and now his temper is more stable than before, and his speech is more calm and relaxed.

Song Sima was still obedient to him, and arched his hand and said: "Mr. Qian is thoughtful, and we must obey our orders." ”

By the time Yang Zhaofeng returned to his tent, it was already dark. His tent also housed one of his own soldiers, and because he was a "staff officer" with a superior position in the battalion, his dwelling was much more spacious than the other tents.

The soldier who had sent the woman back was already sitting in the tent. Yang Zhaofeng opened the door of the tent, walked in and asked, "Have you finished all the things you have explained?" ”

The soldier said, "It's done." I carried the woman back to the camp and was taken over by the doctor to recuperate. And the two bags of belongings were also delivered directly to the army. ”

"Well, that's fine." Yang Zhaofeng said, touching his bunk and lying on his back with his hands behind his head. Somehow, although he completed this task relatively successfully, his heart always felt empty, and there was an indescribable discomfort.

"Hey, what's wrong, tired?" Several of his own soldiers were nominally his hands, but in fact they were no different from his brothers. At this moment, night has fallen, the whole camp is under martial law, and there is no light in the tent, and those personal soldiers can't see Yang Zhaofeng's face clearly at this moment. But from the time he entered the account, he only said one sentence, and they obviously felt that their boss must have something on his mind.

"It's fine!" Yang Zhaofeng said impatiently. Looking at the empty darkness in front of him, his mind suddenly came to mind the woman who was rescued by himself from the murderous hands of the mountain bandits during the day.

"How could I miss her!" Yang Zhaofeng questioned himself and tried to divert his thoughts to other aspects. But the human mind is so magical, the more you run away from something, the more it haunts and lingers in your mind like a mischief.

"Alas!" Yang Zhaofeng couldn't help but sigh heavily when he was upset.

The brother who was lying next to him said half-jokingly: "Our staff officer shouldn't be thinking about the little lady in the forest, right?" ”

An unintentional joke hit Yang Zhaofeng's heart. Yang Zhaofeng was still young after all, so he couldn't bear it, and scolded: "Fuck you!" ”

When everyone saw that he reacted so much, they all coaxed one after another, but fortunately, it was dark in the tent, and everyone couldn't see Yang Zhaofeng's already hot cheeks at the moment.

The sergeant on night patrol outside passed by Yang Zhaofeng's camp tent, heard the commotion, and said sharply: "What are you calling at night?" There will be a sound again, and one by one it will be dragged out for military treatment! "The legislation in the army is quite harsh, everyone is equal in front of military discipline, and Yang Zhaofeng, who is a staff officer, has no special treatment.

After being warned by the sergeant on patrol, peace was restored to the tent.

As the night deepened, the robes around him fell asleep one after another, and snoring sounded one after another beside Yang Zhaofeng. Yang Zhaofeng thought about the woman's face, and couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

She's so beautiful. Even if he was treated roughly by the mountain bandits and described as quite withered, he still couldn't hide his delicate face and moving temperament. Where is she from? I heard that his family is a big family...... Is a poor boy himself a toad who wants to eat swan meat? How is she now? Is the doctor treating her well......

A series of questions and ideas kept sprouting in Yang Zhaofeng's mind. Even Yang Zhaofeng himself was taken aback by these strange thoughts. He tried to persuade himself to go to bed and stop thinking nonsense. But how could his turbulent mood calm down at this time? On this day, Yang Zhaofeng experienced the first all-night insomnia in his life.

At midnight the next day, Zhao Ying first asked the right battalion of the army to have a full meal and prepared to set off. In order to motivate the sergeants, Hao Shaoqi ordered the removal of dry food that everyone was only allowed to bring one meal at noon, and he had the posture of vowing not to return to the army without breaking the official village.

Yang Zhaofeng led a group of soldiers armed with mountain swords to open the way in front, the main force of the rear division was in the center, and the front division was postponed. Before the middle of the day, it drove not far from the official village.

An army of 2,000 men marched through the woods and soon attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers. Hao Shaoqi seized the opportunity and led the army to advance rapidly in the final stage, successfully catching the officers and soldiers off guard. There was a commotion in the front village of the official army, and no one expected that Zhao Ying would actually kill at this time.

This official village is a 1,000-household office that has recently been opened up separately, and there are more than 800 soldiers in it, and a thousand households are in charge. These thousand households are considered to have some talents, and it has only been two months since the establishment of the village, and the stick thieves and mountain bandits from all directions have basically fled, and the chaos in the north of Suining has been suppressed because of him. And two days ago, Kong Quanbin's remnants also came to the village to hide, and he discussed with the general Bai who commanded the black army, preparing to go to the north after a while, or to find Zhang Lingbu, or to find Kong Quanbin, anyway, the purpose is to block Zhao Ying.

However, the time he wanted was definitely not at this time.

Zhao Ying's soldiers suddenly arrived, which really frightened the thousand households, and he mobilized the whole village in a panic to prepare to resist the enemy. However, before his men and horses could be gathered, the front of Zhao Ying's camp had already rushed from the high slope to the open space in front of the walled gate.

"Senho-sama! At this time, it is still important to defend against the enemy, so you can let one brother kill first and hinder the action of the thief, and the brothers behind will prepare slowly! A general banner shouted in the midst of the noisy crowd to the thousand households.

The thousand households adopted the advice of the general banner, sent people to gather a force of about 200 people, and went out of the village to meet the battle in a chaotic manner.

The general flag said: "There is a small road next to the village, which is connected to the back village, and the thieves must not know." It can allow other brothers to go back in time and plunder the back of the thieves, which can have the effect of a surprise attack! ”

Seeing that the officials and troops in Qianzhai were in chaos, the black army knew that if their own people went immediately, most of them would be cannon fodder in the melee. So he asked the thousand households for his life: "My lord, I am willing to take my brother to copy the thief!" ”

Although the thousand households are calm on weekdays, but after all, they have not gone through a big storm and have a mess in their minds at the moment, and the six gods have no owner, hearing the suggestion is like grabbing a life-saving straw, how can they think about it? The black army was agreed, and quickly moved to the back of the village with his own soldiers and horses.

All this was seen by Hao Shaoqi, who was stationed at a high place, and he pointed to the group of soldiers and horses of the black army and asked Yang Zhaofeng: "Is that the rest of Kong Quanbin?" ”

Yang Zhaofeng raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and replied: "Exactly, all black soldiers wear black armor and black robes, and their subordinates will not admit their mistakes even if they are blind." ”

"Why did they suddenly lead their troops away?" Hao Shaoqi saw that the officers and troops in Qianzhai were gathering more and more, but the black army was uncharacteristically rushing towards Houzhai with their own men and horses.

Yang Zhaofeng frowned tightly and said: "There must be something strange about this, you can teach the front division to divide the troops and deal with the rear division, in case you have a back road for the thieves." You see, the south of the official village is a tall grass, which spreads to the high mountains behind, in which the geographical situation of our army is not clear, if there is a small road in the meantime, the official army may copy the back of the rear division from the small road. If the officers and soldiers succeed in one blow, even if the former boss comes forward to support, I am afraid it will be too late. ”

Hao shook his head and said: "This statement is reasonable, and we should take precautions against it as soon as possible." Therefore, he called Song Sima and said: "You take the former Si Erlang to prepare for the war now, and at the same time divide people to guard over there." If there are officers and soldiers who stand out, don't let them attack the brothers in the back! ”

Song Sima received the order, he was already gearing up, and his spirit was uplifted: "Mr. Qian is at ease!" There are subordinates guarding there, even the heavenly soldiers and generals also call him to come and go! After speaking, he did not hesitate to call his subordinates to action.

The arrangements were made over there, Hao Shaoqi was slightly relieved, and looked back at the front village of the officers and soldiers down the slope. I saw that at this time, the front men and horses of the rear division had already been killed with the officers and soldiers who went out of the village to fight. The group of officers and soldiers was obviously unprepared, and even though they tried their best to resist, they were still beaten back by Zhao Ying's soldiers.
