Wang Junlin knew that these people were in high spirits and high morale, in addition to having confidence in themselves, there was also one of the biggest reasons - they knew that after Wang Junlin arrived in Zhangye City and took charge of the army, he would inevitably go on a killing spree to cleanse the influence of the Li family and Li Fengyun in the Zhangye army, and a large number of positions would be vacated at that time, as long as they performed well in the next process of following Wang Junlin to fight the Turks, they would have a great chance of promotion.
"Okay, you guys now go back and prepare to withdraw from the camp, and set off in half an hour, Niu Jinda will send scouts to reconnoiter five miles ahead." Wang Junlin gave the final order.
Everyone intervened in their arms, and then left the main tent where Wang Junlin was, and each went to prepare to withdraw from the camp.
Seeing that autumn is coming to an end, the weather is gradually becoming cold, especially in this mountain, there is already a feeling of winter, and the king is in the tent, there is a brazier for the soldiers.
After all the generals at all levels left, Wang Junlin immediately ordered the guards to stay outside the tent and not allow anyone to approach, and then surrounded the brazier with Xu Jingzong, Yu Zimo, and Zhanpeng, unfolded the map, and pondered how to deal with the Turks.
Three thousand people not only had to defeat five thousand Turkic Silver Wolf King Cavalry, but it could not take more than three days, otherwise they would rush out of the Black Wolf Fortress and would probably fall into the encirclement of the army led by Li Fengyun, if that was the case, it would be meaningless.
"Master Hou, if you don't mix some peerless poison, I will take my brothers to sneak into the Turkic camp at night to poison their men and horses." Zhan Peng thought for a moment and said.
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "The Turks must be extremely vigilant when they go deep into our hinterland, and these 5,000 Turks must be lightly armed, without tents, and the grain and grass are all robbed and used all the way. According to the habits of the Turks, men and horses are not separated, and each person brings his own grain, grass and water. How do you poison yourself? β
Zhan Peng sighed depressedly and said, "What Master Hou said is that what he thinks about is too simple. β
Xu Jingzong frowned and pondered, he really wanted to come up with a clever strategy, take advantage of Liu Ziming to pick up the family members of Feihu Village, and take the opportunity to establish the status of the first strategist and even the military advisor around Wang Junlin in one fell swoop, but he couldn't think of a way for a while.
Wang Junlin also frowned and pondered, and couldn't think of a clever plan for a while, but now that he had just subdued these 3,000 people, he couldn't summon all the generals to discuss the matter, so as not to affect their morale, so they could only discuss it privately, and at most call Niu Jinda and Shangguan Hu over.
Just when everyone felt that they were about to rack their brains, Guo'er, who lived in the side tent, found that the fire in the brazier here was getting smaller, so he came in with a bundle of dry firewood to add firewood to the brazier, Yuromo was attracted by Guo'er, and smirked at it, and then looked at the fire in the brazier, his eyes blinked, and suddenly said: "Uncle Shi, you burned tens of thousands of Western Turks to death in Shuiquanguan last year, so it is better to set fire to these Turks again." β
Yu Zimo may just say it casually, but when Wang Junlin heard it, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he smiled: "Zimo is really my lucky general, I have an idea!" β
Since ancient times, famous generals like to attack with fire, the most famous of which is Zhuge Wuhou of the Three Kingdoms, he just came out of the house, and burned Bowangpo. Then there were fires that burned Xinye, burned Chibi, and three fires burned Cao Cao's million-strong army. No matter how it is recorded in the official history, Wang Junlin remembered Zhuge Liang's three fires at this time. He Wang Junlin burned the battle of Shuiquan Pass last year, and he was no weaker than Zhuge Wuhou's three fires, so why not burn a fire now.
"What does Master Hou mean......" Zhan Peng perked up and asked happily.
Xu Jingzong said: "The northwest Yongzhou territory is dry and dry, there has been no rain recently, and in late autumn, the black wolf is full of dry grass, which can be used as a fire-inducing thing...... Does Hou Ye mean to introduce the Turks into the Black Wolf and then burn them inside? β
This Xu Jingzong is really a thoughtful person, and he preemptively said Wang Junlin's idea.
Wang Junlin nodded and said, "It's just that I'm not very familiar with the terrain of the Black Wolf Mountain, and how to set fire to it will only be possible to make a conclusion after further exploring the terrain." β
Zhan Peng immediately said: "Master Hou, the lowly position used to be the leader of the scout team of 100 people, this reconnaissance terrain, looking for the ambush to let go, it is better to hand it over to the lowly position, and the lowly position guarantees the completion of the task." β
Wang Junlin pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, you will now lead ten guards with one person and two horses, take the map and set off in advance, and I will wait for your good news." β
Zhan Peng agreed, immediately went down to select people, and then set off in advance.
Half an hour later, 3,000 men and horses also set out for camp and entered the Black Wolf Fortress.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Two days later, just as Wang Junlin led the army through half of the Black Wolf Fortress, Zhan Peng finally led people back.
"Master Hou, I am fortunate not to be dishonored, and I found a place, which is quite suitable for Lord Hou's strategy of fire attack."
While talking, Zhan Peng took out the map from his arms, quickly unfolded it, pointed to a place, and said: "Master Hou, this is here, this place is called Wild Donkey Ditch!" β
"Wild donkey ditch?"
"Yes, there is a group of wild donkeys here for many years, so it is called the wild donkey ditch, said to be a ditch, in fact, it is a small annular valley, the valley is full of weeds and withered vines, and now it has dried up, but it is the best thing to ignite the fire, after observation, it is found that as long as the ignition is put down in advance in many places, once it is ignited at the same time, it will make the whole valley burn quickly, if you can seal the valley mouth again, there will be no return to the people who are called."
Wang Junlin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Since this is the case, we will choose this place. β
Xu Jingzong frowned slightly, and said, "The place has been chosen, and the plan has been determined, but how to lead the Turks into this wild donkey ditch?" Who is going to do this? If you can't lead the Turks to the valley, it's useless. β
Wang Junlin smiled slightly and said, "It's true that Jingzong is worried, but I already have a way in my heart. As for attracting the Turks, the other party came at me, and naturally I personally went out. When someone came, he ordered the army to rest in place, and all the officers of the hundred or more were over to discuss the matter. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The war horse galloped, and Yu Zimo, who followed behind Wang Jun, looked very comfortable, although there may be five thousand Turkic silver wolf kings riding in front of him, since he met Shen Guo'er, waiting for the days of battle was his happiest time, but once he started fighting, his life would climb to the most intense peak.
The Bloodmaned Horse and the Lynx are also very comfortable these days, and for them, as long as they are not in the city, galloping in the wilderness, they will feel happy.
This is not the capital where there are no horseshoe in the shallow grass, but the grassland on the edge of the Qilian Mountains where the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.
