Chapter 210: Wolf Tactics
This snowy night was much more difficult than Wang Zezhi expected, but no matter how difficult it was, he couldn't show it.
Whenever there was a storm on the grassland, and the heavy snow with goose feathers hit everyone's armor and faces, a group of people would look at Wang Zezhi.
Wang Zezhi rode on the horse, he raised his head and chest, his face did not change, and he walked forward firmly in the face of the wind and snow.
When the sergeants saw Wang Zezhi's appearance, they put away their careful thoughts one by one and continued to move forward with the large army.
Walking on this grassland, you can slowly see some traces of battle, which seems to be the place where Xiao Liuzi attacked the Ombu sentinel a few days ago.
From time to time, more than a dozen corpses lay on the ground, many of the dry and hard corpses had been gnawed by wild wolves, and the internal organs were dragged all over the ground, as well as crimson blood marks on the east and west.
Wang Zezhi carefully observed their clothes, and could see that these were all the clothes of the herdsmen on the grassland, not the clothes of his army.
With a smile on his face, he nodded at the sentinels on either side of the group.
The sentries were even more excited when they saw Wang Zezhi smiling at them.
The sergeants in the team also noticed the situation on the side of the road, muttering quietly and pointing at the corpses on the side of the road.
The generals at all levels in the team, from squad to company, began to spontaneously stop their respective soldiers and horses.
"There must be no noise during the march, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law."
Immediately, the whole army quieted down again, and everyone walked quietly towards Huang Fuchuan.
The procession remained quiet until midnight, when things changed dramatically.
"Whew~"
A wolf howl resounded through the heavens and the earth, followed by one wolf howl after another.
Wang Zezhi raised his eyebrows when he heard the wolf's howl, he almost forgot about it, he originally planned to issue a reward to kill the wolf, and forgot about the wave after wave of things.
"Order a thousand steel-armored heavy horsemen to chase them out and kill the wolves."
The current steel armor heavy riding is that the horse's belly is covered with leather armor, not to mention the attack of the wolf, even the knife and arrow can't hurt, the only thing that can hurt is the horse's leg.
However, during the run, he did not believe that the wolf could bite the horse's leg so accurately.
The herald took the order and gave the order to the steel-armored heavy cavalry at the front of the line.
A thousand steel-armored heavy horsemen marched out of the ranks, and a thousand light horsemen took their place, continuing to watch over the captives and advance.
The steel armor rode up in array and rushed out towards the field that lit up with green light.
It was the green glow of the wolf's eyes.
Just a few breaths, the screams of wild wolves came from the grassland.
No matter how fierce the wolf is, it is powerless to parry in the face of a thousand steel armored heavy horses.
A quarter of an hour later, the Steel-Armored Heavy Rider followed the group with a bloody aura and a wolf corpse wrapped around a rope.
Wang Zezhi glanced at the wolf corpse, which was quite a pity.
The wolf's fur was cut by the long knife of the steel-armored heavy rider, and the wolves had to eat the meat, otherwise a whole piece of wolf skin could still be sold for a good price.
Wang Zezhi thought that with the deterrence of the steel armor heavy horse, the wild wolves on the grassland would restrain themselves.
He didn't expect that the wild wolf was far more daring than he thought.
The wolves no longer howled, but peeked into the surroundings as if they were far away.
Whenever a sentinel broke away from the group, the wolves would rush up and force the sentinel back.
Wang Zezhi's brows tightened, he felt that this was not a solution.
The sentinels could not disperse, which was not good for the march.
So he ordered the Steel-Armored Heavy Rider to attack again, but this time to his surprise, the Steel-Armored Heavy Cavalry did not catch a single wolf.
It seems that the wolves know the power of the steel armor heavy horse, and as soon as they see the steel armored heavy horse attacking, they scatter in a hurry and disappear without a trace.
When the Steel-Armored Heavy rode back into the group, the wolves began to hang far away again, and when they saw that a sentry was scattered, they pounced again, and one of the sentry spouts had their toes bitten off by the wolf.
Wang Zezhi sneered when he saw this, these tricks of the wild wolf had been thoroughly understood by Wang Zezhi.
Even he came up with a set of tactics, which is called the wolf tactic, and Xiao Liuzi learned Wang Zezhi's tactics.
Wang Zezhi called the sentries back and called two old gunners from the artillery battalion.
"That direction and the direction over there, do you see?"
"See."
"See." Cool text
The two veteran gunners saw the glow from the eyes of the wild wolf in the distance.
"Two shots." Wang Zezhi said.
"Obey."
The two gunners took the order, set up the guns, aimed, estimated the distance, loaded the ammunition, and ignited.
"Bang Bang~"
After two cannon shots, he heard the sound of the wild wolf whimpering, and Wang Zezhi knew that the wild wolf was scared away.
After the sentinel went to investigate in those two directions, he brought back two wolf corpses.
The artillery not only killed the wolves, but the huge sound of the cannon scared the wolves away.
After solving the wolf plague on the road, the team continued to march.
As the hour passed, the snow in the sky began to grow smaller.
By the time they reached Huangfu River, five miles away, the snow had basically stopped.
There were more and more sentries in this area, and they said that Xiao Liuzi was two miles outside the Ombu camp.
Xiao Liuzi is like an old and spicy hunter, and in the area he controls, no Tartar sentry can escape.
Wang Zezhi immediately ordered the army to start a rapid march towards the Omubu camp.
In the second year of Chongzhen, on the twenty-first day of the first month, the sky was still very dark.
In winter on the steppe, the day dawns late.
Three miles away from the camp of Omubu, some stars appeared one after another, just a few breaths, and these stars became more and more.
Wang Zezhi's army arrived.
After Wang Zezhi arrived, he first found Xiao Liuzi and asked for some news.
Wang Zezhi first asked if the wolf tactics were good.
This set of tactics was realized after dealing with wild wolves.
After he came up with this set of tactics, he taught Xiao Liuzi as soon as possible, and this battle was the time for Xiao Liuzi to use it in actual combat.
He wanted to know how it would work.
Harassment, seduction, surprise attack.
When the number of people is not dominant, surprise attacks can often have unexpected effects.
The sentries were scattered around the camp and harassed frequently, and when the Ombu could no longer bear it, they dispersed in a hurry.
So repeatedly, when they are upset, they will rush out desperately.
Then the sentinels lured them into a pre-arranged trap, and then attacked them by surprise, attacking them at the head and tail, leaving most of the men and horses in between.
Those who remained did not know the situation, only that the front and rear armies were scattered, and they instinctively panicked, and in panic they would collapse.
Xiao Liuzi described the whole process in detail, and Wang Zezhi was quite satisfied.
Then Wang Zezhi carefully inquired about the troop layout of the Omubu battalion.
According to Xiao Liuzi, the eastern part of the Russian army has the largest number of troops and the least west, and the north and south are balanced.
All their food and grass were concentrated on the west.
The most important point is that the sentinels of Ombu cannot get out of the camp at all, and even if they leave the camp, they can't find out the intelligence two miles away.
The sentinels led by Xiao Liuzi blocked the sentinels of Omubu.
In other words, so far, Omubu doesn't know that Wang Zezhi has led a large army to attack him.
Wang Zezhi was not stingy with Xiao Liuzi, praised him in public, and rewarded him and the sentry camp.
After Wang Zezhi got the detailed information of Xiao Liuzi, he immediately called a meeting of the generals.
"Pass the order, bury the pot and make rice, and launch a general attack after half an hour.
The whole army was called by artillery, and the artillery sounded out of the army.
Each battalion is spearheaded by steel-armored heavy cavalry, and light cavalry is the central army, interspersed with them when the enemy is engaged, and the infantry is the rear army.
The foot soldiers charged into battle with Tartar captives, telling them that if they killed one person, they would be rewarded with a tael of silver, and if they killed five, they would be freed and let them stay. ”
"Order."
All the generals took orders in unison and went down to set up.
