Chapter 564 It was too wide

Chapter 564 was also originally wide

"It's about the same size as those two."

He Shouxin raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Baodai River behind him - the two flat-bottomed boats there were provided by Gu Yanwu.

"That's not a big deal."

"Okay, then it's tiring,"

He Shouxin smiled and nodded, and shouted loudly, "Communicator! ”

"Here!" A communicator came in.

"Go to Mingyue Lake to give an order, and the whole army will return to the division!"

"Yes!"

"Company Commander He, that's it...... Town? ”

After seeing the herald go out, Gu Yanwu couldn't help but ask.

"Yes!"

He Shouxin smiled, "However, it will be after the city gate is opened." ”

"Come, please move ......"

He beckoned, then leaned over the small table, pointed at the sketch drawn by Wan Shouqi, and explained the battle plan he had conceived.

"By the way, the guide who is familiar with the secret passage, is it ready?"

Finally, he straightened up and asked—this was important, the key to the whole operation.

"It's ready,"

Gu Yanwu smiled slightly, "However, there is still a question below, I don't know ......"

"You're too polite, Lord Gu,"

He Shouxin grinned, revealing a pair of neat white teeth, "In our begging army, our Hou Ye wants everyone to know everything and say everything, and you don't need to be polite in the future." ”

"Good!"

Gu Yanwu didn't come to the end when he heard it, he directly pointed to a place on the map and said, "Here, there will be a large number of refugees ......."

He Shouxin was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant.

What Gu Yanwu pointed to was the Shugang Pass—that was the rear of Mei Jianyong in the second row.

The Tartars have already taken action to drive the old and weak women and children out of the city, and a large number of refugees are rolling out of the south gate and the east gate, and the south gate does not need to be taken care of by him, and Yang Yuan and Chen Liuyu are in charge, but the east gate is ......

He Shouxin patted his head in annoyance.

Originally, the second platoon was scattered in that area, but he was negligent, and now the whole platoon has to block the north gate, and there is no soldier there.

He stared at the map and couldn't help but ponder.

From a tactical point of view, intercepting refugees is not a good idea.

There are too many refugees, and with a small number of troops to intercept and contain, the thin front will be overwhelmed by the refugees if they are not careful.

If it is more prudent, it seems more appropriate to let go of the battle line and let them find their own ways to survive - those who have been fleeing north are not powerless to stop them and let them go?

However, He Shouxin thought about it instead, if a large number of Tartar soldiers were mixed with the refugees, they knew that Huai'an had "fallen", and they generally did not dare to go north to touch the mold, so there was only one way to escape west.

If that's the case, it's just a matter of running away a few big fish, and if they cross the battle line, come back and forth, and attack the flanks of the troops, it won't be very good......

"It seems that another unit must be arranged there." He thought.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided - to draw a team of fifty people from Zheng's army and hold the mountain pass.

To be on the safe side, he decided to send the only mobile force in his hands, the scout squad with a sniper team, with him.

The strength and firepower are still a bit weak, but fortunately, the soldiers have been in war for a long time, even those Zheng soldiers and soldiers are all veterans who have participated in the Dayuan Campaign, and it is not the first time that they have commanded and sheltered refugees, so there should be no big chaos.

Gu Yanwu agreed with this idea.

It is indeed a bit reluctant to use such a few people to intercept and contain refugees, but he also knows that Company Commander He's troops are very tight, and it is not easy to make this determination.

Fortunately, the black-lit refugees moved slowly and were unlikely to flee in all directions in the paddy fields, and perhaps dozens of soldiers took advantage of the favorable terrain and shouted with torches, and they waited honestly for shelter......

……

In the middle of the night, the city began to fall silent.

In the first half of the night, busy expelling the old and weak women and children, riots broke out frequently in the city, and the flames swirled and fell everywhere.

The more than 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers who stayed in various parts of the city and planned to take advantage of the chaos to plunder, due to the resistance of the "friendly army" Cao Ding and the Minzhuang team, they failed to plunder in many places, and only grabbed some small fish and shrimp on the side of the road.

Therefore, some of the rebels were thinking about how to flee for their lives, while others were not yet dead, muttering that after dawn, they would gather into a large group of people, break down a few of his streets and alleys with oil and water, and make a big ......

In this situation of having their own hearts and minds scattered, the soldiers guarding the south gate are all in danger, and no one knows what to do next.

In order to let the people out of the city, the Minzhuang team dug up the mound that blocked the city gate in the afternoon according to the order of Shangfeng, but after all the people went out in the evening, there was no order to refill it.

The urn city and the two gates at the south gate had been destroyed in yesterday's shelling, and if the city gate was not blocked, the portal would be completely opened.

So, a green camp surnamed Xia who was on duty tonight, took matters into his own hands and ordered the city gate to be blocked again.

I didn't think about it, but the Minzhuang team, who was very active when they dug up, pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't take the order seriously at all.

Xia Qian's liver was so angry that he couldn't wait to draw a knife and slash a few of him.

However, the people who have been working for several days look very angry, and if they are too aggressive, they will have the posture of going straight to work.

In the end, there was no way, Xia Qian had to endure this breath, and ordered his subordinates to hastily plug the gap with some rejection horses and Saimen knife carts.

According to the military order, the people's strong troops were not allowed to go to the city, but could only wait under the city.

On duty at the head of the city, in addition to the less than 200 soldiers under him, there is also a team of more than 100 Cao Ding, led by a general surnamed Liang.

It's a bad job full of dangers!

Because of the fear of the sniping of the thieves and sharpshooters, everyone did not dare to show their heads, except for a few lights, there were no lights or torches everywhere in the city, and it was lifeless.

finally got the third watch, and it was time for the Caoding team to change shifts.

The Liang general scolded and waited left and right, and the boss saw another team of people who came to change shifts go up to the city.

"Mother, Xipi! Even this gang of waste can change shifts, and Lao Tzu is frightened day and night! ”

Xia Qian, who was tired for a day, always scolded hatefully.

He looked down at the city, where it was quiet in the cave, where his superior, the eight hundred "elite soldiers" of the garrison, had probably fallen asleep.

In addition, there are more than 100 "New Army" musketeers stationed below who is surnamed Wang, who is the descendant of the newly appointed South Gate guard, General Meng.

Nominally, Meng Counselor will be the supreme commander guarding the south gate, but in fact, everyone knows that the green battalion of the original deputy general You Heizi does not listen to him, and in an emergency, he can directly command only the "new army" of more than 100 people......

"Mother, Xipi! Everyone is a big official, but Lao Tzu is a hard worker! ”

He cursed resentfully.

He used to be broad, and there were six or seven hundred people under him at most, and he was really damn unlucky, he was defeated all the way, and now there are less than two hundred people who even die and run, so he is always looked down upon, and the dirtiest and most tiring work belongs to him.

In fact, other officers are not much better - there are many high-ranking generals in this team, but there are very few soldiers under each of them.

Everyone knows that in these years, everyone in the green battalion who was demoted to the army is almost the same - the official rank is large, and the strength is small.

High-ranking officials are generous, and high hats are sent everywhere, which is the usual means of Manchurian masters to envelop people......
