Chapter 580: Ling Xia's Counterattack
Leading these two group armies are Lu Jianxing and Mo Wanming, this is not a broken army with the number of the group army, but the kind that is fully staffed, in order to organize this counterattack, Ling Xia sent out all the troops, he temporarily organized the troops together, and made up two main group armies, and he led those horsemen to drag branches from the official road to make a feint to attract the attention of the rebels.
At the beginning, after Ling Xia wrote a good report to the imperial court, he asked Lu Jianxing and Mo Wanming to lead the troops from Diwan Province to Shigu County, Shigu County is a neighboring county of Baobei County, the territory is full of barren forests, and the junction of the two counties is divided by a forest farm, from here to the garrison of the two major rebel corps is only more than 80 miles, after leading the troops to sneak into Shigu County, Mo Wanming and they hid the soldiers and horses in the border line forest farm.
Before leaving, Ling Xia told them that if the imperial court agreed to the counterattack plan in the theater, he would make moves from Mohai Province to attract the rebels to deploy defenses, and once they saw that the main force of the rebels was transferred to the front line, it meant that they could act, and then the two of them led a large army to raid the rebel garrison headquarters from the rear, and a day later, the whole army retreated.
Lu Jianxing and Mo Wanming have been staring at the two major corps these days, as soon as there is a change on their side, they received news here, Mo Wanming and the two silently observed the movements of the rebels, until Ying Qiankun and Yu Qianqiong pulled the main force out of the defense area thirty miles away to prepare for battle, Lu Jianxing and the two took action, and the two of them quietly moved the troops to twenty miles away from Baobei County, waiting for the opportunity to prepare for action.
At this time, the sky was already dark, looking at the darker and darker night sky, Lu Jianxing and Mo Wanming waited quietly, and when the sky entered the middle of the night, they quietly moved forward, although after the last Ling Xia raid, the rebel corps obviously increased patrols and guards, but they really didn't expect that the battle guards would make a comeback, so the soldiers on patrol were a little slack.
In order to deal with Ling Xia's attack, Yu Qianqiong and Ying Qiankun transferred all those supplementary generals and elite main forces who could fight well to the front line. According to the calculations of the rebels who stayed behind, the periphery of the defense line was arranged, and the main force was deployed on the front line, so the garrison was definitely safe.
It is precisely because of this kind of paralyzing and slackness mentality, and because the command system of the troops left behind in the garrison has not been completely restored, that when the battle guards rushed forward to a position of 1,000 meters outside the corps, they were discovered by the rebel patrol troops.
It's not that the soldiers on patrol refuse to pass on the information, but they don't know who to pass it on? The previous commanders, generals, corps commanders, division commanders, and commanders were all assassinated, and the generals who had just been promoted were transferred to the front line by the corps commanders before they could see their appearances.
Just because there is no general responsible for dispatching and commanding, the huge four left-behind group armies in the face of the attack of the battle guards, instantly turned into a plate of scattered sand, although a few shrewd people want to organize troops to resist, but the soldiers are in a mess at this time, can not organize at all, just in the panic of the rebel soldiers, the soldiers of the war guards brandished weapons and killed the rebel garrison.
