After successfully intercepting the grain convoy of the Ming army twice, the confidence of a group of bandits in Huangzhushan was greatly increased, and Butcher Chen even shouted that even if he encountered the main force of the Ming army, he could fight a battle.

In this regard, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren are right!

Just say it, if you really meet the main force of the Ming army, you can run as fast as you want, let alone meet the main force of the Ming army of one or two thousand people, even if you meet the regular army of the Ming army of three or four hundred people, they have to turn around and run.

After experiencing two wars of grain interception, especially the previous one of the grain interception battles, even Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren had to admit that their Tang Dynasty Wang Division could only fight the guards army with less than 100 people, although the standing army led by them looked much better than the past on the surface, but the real fight was still the same as before.

The previous crushing defeat of the archers is still fresh in their memories!

At that time, if there were no guards, the archers of the standing army would have been completely defeated, and the entire army would have collapsed.

"Although the officers and men of our army can defeat ten enemies with one enemy, but we are outnumbered, there is no need for our army to waste time and energy to deal with the enemy, just need to attack the puppet grain transport team a few more times, they will inevitably run out of food and grass, and the puppet will definitely mess up at that time!" Liu Bagou touched his goatee and continued:

"The puppet Ming thief army is weak, the morale is low, the soldiers invaded my Tang Dynasty but they were forced to come by the puppet Ming officials, once the grain and grass are not continued, then there is no need for my Tang Dynasty Wang Division to attack, the enemy army must withdraw from the mountain!"

"Lord Liu is right, now we must not be impatient, now we have cut off two batches of grain and grass in the Ming army, they must not have much grain and grass left, as long as we continue to block the grain road, although the puppet Ming thief army is numerous, but I am afraid that there is no intention to fight again. At that time, it will be effortless for our army to win a complete victory," Qian Mengjiu also agreed with Liu Bagou's words.

However, after Butcher Chen heard this, he was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything like he had to go to the Ming army for a decisive battle.

As for Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, they haven't spoken much, it's not that they don't want to speak, but they don't know what to say when they do.

Say hit? Their standing army could not fight, and they said that they would not fight, and they continued to attack the grain transportation team of the Ming army so secretly, as if they were cowardly.

However, Wang Danxu, the commander of the Guards, said at this time: "In the past two days, there have been obviously a lot more spies in the Ming army, and they are looking for us. ”

As he spoke, he said to everyone: "I'm worried that the Ming army will take advantage of these two days to transport grain and grass, so that our first two efforts will be in vain!" ”

"We can't continue to hide like this, we must move, even if they find our traces, but as long as we don't stay in one place for too long, the main force of the puppet Ming army will not be able to catch up with us!"

"And once we move, we can continue to look for opportunities to attack their food convoys!"

As soon as you say a word, and I say a word, they are arguing about how to act in the future.

In the end, the method proposed by Wang Danxu was approved by most of them, that is, to continue to wander and look for opportunities for the Ming army's grain transportation team, or even some small-scale troops to attack!

Early the next morning, the Huangzhushan bandits, who had swelled to more than 800 people, took action again, and among these 800 people, half of them were soldiers and used to fight, and among the remaining half of them, nearly 300 were old and weak bandits, and more than 100 were captured people and county warriors.

It is worth noting that after the bewitchment of Bai Yunqi and others, more than 30 of the more than 100 people captured a few days ago expressed their willingness to join the Tang Dynasty Wang Shi and serve Li Xuan, the holy monarch who came out once in a thousand years, while the remaining 100 people continued to act as people's husbands, carrying the grain and baggage that originally belonged to the Ming army and marched with the army.

However, in the next few days, the Ming army seemed to be much more cautious, and the bandits in Huangzhushan did not find any good opportunity to eat the Ming army's grain transportation team for three consecutive days.

The current Ming army seems to have learned from the wisdom, and the size of the grain transport team has become larger, this scale does not mean that the scale of the people has increased, but the size of the Ming army escorting the grain team has increased.

Huangzhushan's spies finally found a grain team of the Ming army, and found that there were no more than 200 people and county warriors in this grain team, but the number of Ming troops escorted reached 300.

At that time, after Li Xuan and Wang Danxu and other Tang monarchs and ministers discussed, they hesitated for a long time and still didn't dare to start, and in the end, the Ming army, which could only watch it, was once again supplied with food.

However, after the Ming army carried out two large-scale grain transportation operations in a row, it did not find any trace of the bandits in Huangzhushan, and it seems that it has returned to normalcy again.

And this situation made the Tang monarchs and ministers who had been waiting for four or five days happy!

The opportunity has finally come again.

"Your Majesty, the spies of our army have ascertained that there are about 350 people in this puppet grain transportation team, of which more than 200 are people, and the remaining 100 people are Weisuo soldiers and county warriors. It's about the same size as the last time we successfully intercepted the grain delivery team! Fang Dongquan said excitedly:

"We can ambush them like last time, grab this batch of food, and maybe capture another batch of people!"

After Fang Dongquan finished speaking, Wang Danxu on the side said worriedly: "Your Majesty, it has been raining for the past two days, which has had a great impact on the battle of our musketeers, and now the musketeers can't fight!" ”

Huang Xueren also said: "Not only will your muskets not be used when it rains, but the bows and arrows of our standing army will also be greatly affected!" ”

Wet and rainy days can have a huge impact on muskets and bows and arrows!

Although there are few musketeers in the Guards today, they have played an indispensable role in the last two battles.

Now when they heard Wang Danxu say that due to the influence of the weather, the musketeer's musket may not be usable, several people frowned.

At this time, Fang Dongquan said: "Our muskets and bows and arrows can't be used, but the pseudo-Ming bows and arrows can't be used either, and we have more troops than them, we have two hundred spearmen and nearly a hundred sword and shield hands, which is enough to leave this grain transportation team behind!" ”

His words made the others reflect in time, yes, due to the influence of the weather, their archers and musketeers could not play an effective role, but the archers of the relative Ming army could not play an effective role either.

When the time comes, if the two sides fight hand-to-hand, the odds of victory on Huangzhushan's side are still very great, after all, their forces far exceed the escorted Ming army.

At this time, Li Xuan also made a decision: "Since this is the case, then let's prepare for war!" ”

Since there is an opportunity, it is natural that you can't just let it go, and if it drags on like this, the food crisis of the Ming army will be alleviated, so that your first two grain interception actions will be in vain.

Half a day later, in a Ming army team a few miles away, several military attaches of the Ming army were exchanging heads!

"Lord Qianhu, do you think Mr. Wu's strategy is useful? Will those pseudo-Tang thieves be fooled? A hundred households came to Diao Leixun's side and said.

Diao Leixun said: "It's hard to say, those pseudo-Tang thieves are very slippery, otherwise we wouldn't have found them for so long, but they are sure that they are nearby, and it is impossible for us to hide our whereabouts from them!" ”

"If they knew that those people were all disguised by our people, and the baskets they were carrying had no food at all, but swords and weapons, they would naturally not come, but if they didn't see it, hum!"

When Diao Leixun spoke, he looked at the middle-aged scribe in a green robe in front of him, this Mr. Wu is the confidant master of the Fuzun Lord, and he personally brought dozens of people back from the front line to assist him Diao Leixun in guarding the grain road a few days ago.

At the beginning, Diao Leixun personally escorted a batch of grain into the mountain with a large group of men and horses, which alleviated the food crisis of nearly 2,000 Ming troops in the mountain.

Subsequently, Mr. Wu proposed a design to lure the puppet Tang thief army to attack, and severely damaged or even annihilated the main force of the puppet Tang thief army in one fell swoop.

After listening to his detailed plan, Diao Leixun couldn't help but sigh, these scholars are really bad enough, they all have bad stomachs, and they actually let these guards disguise themselves as civil husbands and sing a trick of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

Diao Leixun could almost imagine that when the puppet Tang thief army came to attack his 'grain transport team', he found that his grain transport team was all guard soldiers, and he didn't know how he would feel!

It's just that those pseudo-Tang thieves will be fooled into attacking them?

Diao Leixun didn't know, and the hundreds of households under him, and the officers such as the general banner also didn't know.

After thinking about it, Diao Leixun took two steps forward and walked to Mr. Wu's side: "Mr. Wu, you said they would come?" ”

Mr. Wu glanced sideways at Diao Leixun, and his face was still the same as usual: "General Diao, don't be impatient, if Wu's expectations are correct, the pseudo-Tang thief army will definitely come, but it's just a day late and a day late!" ”

Seeing Diao Leixun's puzzled expression, Mr. Wu immediately said a few more words: "Why did the puppet Tang thief army attack our army's food team?" ”

Diao Leixun said: "Why else, naturally they are here to rob our food!" ”

Mr. Wu smiled at this time, revealing a look of 'you are still too young', and then said: "The reason why the puppet Tang thief army robbed our grain team was not only to rob our grain, they wanted our army to have insufficient supply of food and grass, so that they were forced to withdraw from the mountain!" ”

"But in the past few days, Diao Qianhu, you have personally escorted the grain into the mountain, if there are smart people in the pseudo-Tang thief army, then they will definitely know that our food crisis is about to ease, if they still want to force us out of the mountain, they must take action to continue to cut off our grain channel, otherwise they will lose their efforts."

"At this time, if they find a grain team that can be used, do you think they will do it?"

Diao Leixun listened: "A few days ago, our grain transportation team was so large, but now it has become smaller, won't they guess that there is fraud here?"

Mr. Wu said: "It doesn't matter if they don't be fooled, since they don't dare to fight, we will transport grain in the future!" ”

While the two were talking, suddenly several Ming troops in front of them suddenly stopped their pace, and then quickly ran backwards, shouting at the same time: "Enemy attack!" ”

Mr. Wu smiled at this time and said to Diao Leixun: "Isn't this just coming!" ”
