Cao Bianjiao waved his hand and laughed: "Come at the right time, inform everyone to prepare for battle." ”

Next to this river valley path, the students of the Army Martial Arts Hall, who had already occupied a favorable terrain position, quickly began to pack up the camp and remove all traces that might reveal that someone had come here in advance.

Fortunately, it had not snowed yet, and it was relatively easy to remove, so the students of the Army Martial Arts Hall began to dismantle the camp tents and dismantle the fire pit that was being built.

Cao Bianjiao, Zhu Tiema, Jixiang and others took advantage of this time to make arrangements for the battle as soon as possible, and they must defeat this Jin merchant horse gang with as many as 300 people without casualties.

For the students of the Army's Martial Arts Lecture Hall, combat is a systematic project, and it is necessary to set up a wartime staff department to accurately control the war from seven aspects.

The first is the quality of individual soldiers, including the will to fight, physical fitness, hand-to-hand combat ability, marksmanship accuracy, etc., whether it is a cold weapon encounter, or a firearm encounter, the will to fight is always in the first place.

During the war, the General Staff Department was not worried about the will to fight, and the students of the Army's Martial Arts Hall had long been preached by Lu Daqi, the director of the Propaganda Department, and had become loyal men who could only serve the Ming Dynasty with enthusiasm.

The fighting will of the students of the Army's martial arts hall is extremely tenacious, and the average border army can achieve 40 percent of the battle deaths and still maintain effective combat effectiveness, which is already the elite of the elite.

The students of the Army Martial Arts Hall can fight to the last soldier until they all die in battle.

Zhu Tie and Cao Bianjiao, the generals who retired from Liaodong, had a hatred for the Jin merchants that ordinary people could not imagine, and Zhu Tie, who was not very talkative, couldn't help but speak murderously: "Since the Jin merchants have formed a group to send them to death, we will send them on the road." ”

The other army martial arts students didn't understand what it meant, but Cao Bianjiao was very clear, and couldn't help laughing: "Squad Leader Zhu said well, today we will send these Jin merchants who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country on the road." ”

"In this encounter, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, the Jin Shang Horse Gang obviously has an advantage in hand-to-hand combat ability, after all, the other party is a middle-aged man who wanders around the border all the year round, and our students are basically teenagers who have not yet reached the crown."

"But this encounter is not hand-to-hand combat, it is a firearms ambush battle, the role of hand-to-hand combat ability is minimized, and the accuracy of marksmanship is mentioned to the highest, obviously we have an advantage."

After analyzing the quality of individual soldiers, the next thing is the weapons and equipment of both sides, all of them are equipped with doumi-style rifles, of which ten people are equipped with 2.5 times mirror rifled guns, and only a small number of people on the other side are holding firearms, or bird guns, and the advantage occupied by the students of the army martial arts hall is extremely obvious.

After a cup of tea, the students of the Army Lecture Hall packed up the camp, and the wartime staff had already completed discussions on a series of operational system projects, such as terrain selection, logistical supply, tactical arrangement, strategic arrangement, and battlefield command.

More than a mile to the north, all the staff chose a flat area that was not suitable for ambushes, and prepared to ambush this Jin merchant horse gang here.

Distance.

A large group of horses slowly approached.

There are two people in the Jin Shang Horse Gang who speak the most, one is the big shopkeeper of the Ma Gang, and the other is the steward of the Ma Gang.

This housekeeper is not good at stubble, in the past, he used to be a brave horse bandit with vertical and horizontal sidelines, and later as he reached middle age, he wanted to find a stable nest to continue the incense.

The first thing that the housekeeper thinks of is the Jin merchant who is the nest family, and it just so happens that this Jin merchant lacks a group of fierce family members as guards, and the two sides hit it off, and they twisted into a rope in embarrassment.

The Jin merchant horse gang slowly walked along the valley road next to the small river, and everything was fine.

Just when he was about to be in a flat area of the river valley not far away, the middle-aged bandit suddenly frowned, raised his palm, and ordered the horse gang to prepare to stop.

This is a gang of more than 100 mules and horses, and it is not easy to get all the mules and horses to stop, and it is even more time-consuming and laborious to start again.

The big shopkeeper sitting on a mule-horse cart in the middle heard the report of a gangster's family, jumped out of the mule cart and ran to the middle-aged gangster himself.

This is also what makes the big shopkeeper feel very uncomfortable all the time, the big shopkeeper of other caravans is a character in the caravan, and if he says a word, the housekeeper has to run over.

It's good for him, every time he has to run over in person, not to say, the other party is still sitting condescendingly on the Liaodong horse, thinking that the other party is a murderous bandit who doesn't blink an eye, he can only smile and arch his hand: "Brother Xu, what happened, why did you let the horse gang stop." ”

The middle-aged bandit pointed to the flat area of the river valley not far away with a horsewhip in his hand and said: "I smell a fishy smell unique to the Liaodong war horses, there should be a group of Liaodong war horses with a large number nearby. ”

"There are not many cottages that can have so many Liaodong horses, and there are not many bandits in this area, and there may be an ambush of a guard near the flat river."

Ambush?

Although the big shopkeeper has never fought, he has also watched a lot of interpretations of princes and generals, observed the terrain of the river not far away, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Xu said that it is a rare flat area on this trade route, and it is not a canyon, where there will be ambushes." ”

"The closest woods to the river are two hundred paces, and they are already beyond the range of the firearms, how can there be officers and soldiers ambushed there, if you want to ambush, you must be ambushed in the two mountain passes ten miles away."

The big shopkeeper has been going back and forth for more than 20 years, and he is extremely familiar with this secret trade route, and he has analyzed it with all his might, and gradually dispelled the concerns of the middle-aged bandits.

It's right to think about it, the middle-aged bandits who used to play ambushes are very aware of the importance of terrain for ambushes, and the area in front of them is really not suitable for ambushes.

Now it is a north wind, and the fishy smell of Liaodong Malaysia should come from the two mountain passes further north.

But he was still a little uneasy, and glanced at the small river on his right, which had fallen into a dry period, worried that someone was lying in ambush on the edge of the riverbank, and called out to a dozen brothers in the caravan: "You patrol along the vicinity of the river to see if there is any trace of the enemy." ”

The cautious habits that the middle-aged bandits have developed over the years have both good and bad, and the lookouts of the two special combat teams soon discovered the leader of the caravan guards.

Through the clairvoyant mirror, it can be clearly seen that more than a dozen horse gang guards on horseback gathered next to an unattractive guard, and soon dispersed again.

The man was undoubtedly one of the caravan guards, and two lookouts on both sides of the river told the other special operators about the situation.

Moment.

Eight 2.5x rifled guns were aimed at the middle-aged bandit.
