Chapter 518: Ying Xiao
Jin Minghu, who was highly motivated after receiving the notice, personally took more than a dozen horse bandits to meet Zhao Kun, the commander of the advance team, with the military advisor Zhao Shisan.
Because it is necessary to cooperate to avoid accidental injury, Zhao Kun, Sang Yu and other generals above the general level must know Jin Minghu and Zhao Shisan and other major figures.
During this period of time, more than 100,000 rogues crossed the border, causing the 800 people of the "winged tiger" to hide in Tibet, which made Jin Minghu very unhappy.
He was inexplicably excited to find that the "Red Flag Army" had finally made a move, and after reporting the general situation of the thieves, the "Winged Tiger" department was given a specific task.
Jin Minghu immediately returned to the mountainous area in the west of Pingshun County to lead the men and horses to set up an ambush on the official road, and at that time, there will definitely be many horse thieves and thieves who will flee west along the official road.
After sending Jin Minghu away, Zhao Kunliu Kou An rejected Hou and quickly reported the general number and equipment of the Liukou and their deployment to the main force, and informed the collective decision of the night raid.
The "Red Banner Army" fought wars in accordance with the regulations and gave full play to the superiority of the collective.
Each commander has five chief officers who perform their own duties, and the military chief officer is one principal officer and two deputy posts, and there are instructors who are responsible for cultural and political and ideological education, and the commanders who are responsible for strictly enforcing military discipline, counting and seizing seizures, and verifying military exploits.
When formulating the action plan, the general manager cannot be decided in a word, and half of the five-member group must be obtained to pass, and the night attack plan formulated by Zhao Kun and Sang Yu and others has been approved by all of them and has legitimacy, so it is only necessary to notify the main force to cooperate immediately.
Huang Han knew that collective wisdom and concerted efforts would affect efficiency, but he still insisted on leading troops in this way, and the main purpose was to guard against the warlordization of the "Red Flag Army" at all times.
Another big advantage of teamwork is that there may not be outstanding generals, but every general has the ability to think independently, so that generals with middle and upper command levels abound.
Huang Han believed that it was enough for the "Red Banner Army" to have his own prophet with the power, demagogy and charm to make a decision, and that it would be great if the other generals could complete the task to the letter.
After receiving the report from the vanguard, he knew that the undisciplined rogues would not be able to bear the night attack of the regular army, and it was inevitable that the camp in the center of the rogues would be drummed down.
There are many advantages to launching a raid at night, at least the old thief who slept in a daze and stared at him fled in a panic, and he did not have time to kill the women who were holding him hostage, nor did he have time to bring much gold and silver treasure with him.
In order to maximize profits, Huang Han left two generals to take care of the supplies, and the rest of the men and horses scattered the general unit to form a large net that spread for more than 20 miles and marched to the battlefield.
Of course, this arrangement is to try to intercept the exiles and exiles who are scattered in this direction to the greatest extent, and to capture the prisoners as much as possible.
The wanderers who have just become thieves are basically starving, and the little food they get is only enough to hang their lives, and the old thieves are completely different, they eat and drink spicy food and play with women, and live happily.
The same is true for Ma Wangye, Chaotianfei, a handful of hairs and other thieves, and the central camp is not only filled with the smell of wine and meat, but also from the moans and pleadings of women.
The reactions of the outcasts and homeless people on the periphery are different, some envy and some hate others, and more people are numb.
The rogue people have basically formed a routine, and they all take the way of stationing henchmen and horses in the central camp, and they must be separated from the outer camp, it may be that the thieves are worried that they will suddenly encounter the camp roar at night and die inexplicably from cannibalism.
There were more than a dozen people of the "Red Banner Army" hiding at the observation point on the hillside, holding up a clairvoyant mirror to observe the movements of the Liukou camp.
Before the operation, Zhao Kun, Yuan Siming and other generals even quietly approached the center of Liukou, and climbed three miles away from the camp to peep.
The men and horses of King Zijin Liang and Wang Jiayin's brother Wang Jiayun ranked high among the rogue men and horses of the 36th battalion, and they were able to fight and defeat more than 2,000 white-pole soldiers.
At present, although the cavalry in the hands of Zhao Kun and Sang Yu is less than half, there are nearly 400 more infantry, and the infantry that is less than 1,100 is more efficient than the cavalry in the case of a night attack.
Minnie's gunslingers, auto-spawners, shieldmen, and pikemen can also reduce casualties when attacking and advancing, and once again defeat these rogues who are not as disciplined as the two kings.
In the middle of the night, the camp gradually quieted down, and those who had shacks went in to sleep, and those who didn't even have a nest on the ground could only sleep with a large family snuggling up to each other, and even the central camp stopped in the middle of the night, only the crackling sound of insects and burning bonfires was heard.
The 1,800 soldiers were full of confidence, and all of them were highly motivated, and it was an established tactic to directly attack the Liukou Chinese army, and speed determined whether they could effectively attack the old camp of the Liukou.
On the day of the fourth watch, the five men and men of the "Red Banner Army" launched an attack on the camp of 60,000 or 70,000 Liukou, and the infantry officers and men refused to entangle with the hungry people on the periphery and rushed directly to the central point to kill.
These rogues are really unbearable, and they don't even have an ambush army, or it may be that the thieves are lax in discipline, and the ambush army and secret sentry are either asleep or leave their posts without permission.
Anyway, the "Red Banner Army" that attacked at night did not find any warning from the enemy, so they successfully broke into the shack area and approached the camp of the Liukou.
The hungry people who had just fallen asleep were woken up by an earth-shattering sound, and what they heard was: "The 'Red Banner Army' kills thieves, the common people don't move, and the 'Red Banner Army' only punishes the evil remnants and is not to blame!" ”
The shouts in Henan and Shanxi accents sounded: "Fathers and villagers who have been coerced by thieves, the 'Red Flag Army' has come to rescue everyone, follow the 'Red Flag Army' to ensure that there is food!" ”
"Folks, kill those animals that have harmed your wives and children and rob your family of food, stop a horse thief 'Red Banner Army' and reward a stone of wheat!"
In these years, the peasants who were ruined and turned into homeless people had no spiritual support, and they had to follow the thieves to plague the place for a bite to eat.
"Guaranteed food" and "a reward of one stone of wheat" were enough to turn against the vast majority of peasants who had not been thieves for a long time.
A scuffle lasted in the middle of the night, and when the sun rose the next day, about 1,000 infantry officers and men of the "Red Banner Army" were so tired that they sat down on the ground and refused to move again.
The outcome of the night battle was good, and most of the thieves died, because the army of this era was oppressed and terrorized, and in the absence of an attack, it was possible that a soldier had a nightmare and screamed and induced a roar.
The discipline of the rogue team has become even more unbearable, the mood of the thieves and homeless people has become more unstable, and the siege battle has been carried out for four consecutive days with thousands of casualties, and they are already facing a mental breakdown.
I don't know how many wounded people were cut off by the old camp thieves because of the loud wailing sound, and I don't know how many wounded people were afraid of being cut off because they were afraid of being cut off their heads, and they endured severe pain and did not dare to make a sound, and bit off the title in their mouths.
