Chapter 452: Kill Them
Li Xiang drew another route, this route was far away, and it would take an extra day to travel, but there was no dead place like Huangshayuan for ambush warfare. If you fight on flat ground, the strength of a swarm of bees is not enough to even stuff your teeth.
Zhuo Maolin nodded and remembered it in his heart.
This is the advantage of having an intelligence network, you can know yourself and your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. You can also avoid getting headlong into the enemy's pocket.
He thought that he would stretch out his hand and take out 20,000 taels of silver tickets to him, to buy intelligence, the money was really worth it, and it was not wronged at all, which also showed that he really understood the importance of intelligence.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Maolin smiled, besides, since he is the commander of Jinyiwei, can he not understand the importance of intelligence?
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he immediately asked, "Are you familiar with the terrain around Huangshayuan?" ”
"Familiar, but what's the use of the big dragon head asking for this terrain?" Li Xiang wondered.
Zhuo Maolin suddenly thought that he would never retreat when he saw a hard day, and maybe he would rise to the challenge and fight with a swarm of people.
If this is the case, there is nothing difficult to understand, even if he is the same, he took 10,000 elite soldiers, and was frightened by more than 2,000 rogues to take a detour, so he lost first in terms of momentum.
If you want to counter the enemy and attack the shield with the spear of the son, you naturally need to know all the enemy's tricks, which requires a precise map of the yellow sand.
"Lord Qincha is still good to take a detour, the surrounding area of Huangshayuan is hilly, rugged, not to mention that the cavalry is difficult to pass, even the infantry is also very laborious to walk, Lord Qincha is with such a large convoy, if you take this road, there is no other route except from Huangshayuan. Therefore, it is only possible to take a detour. Li Xiang persuaded.
"I know, but it's the Chincha-sama who has to make the final decision on this matter, not me. So you first draw me the surrounding terrain inside and outside the Yellow Sand Circle, the more detailed the better, the more accurate the better. Zhuo Maolin Road.
Li Xiang sighed, didn't say anything more, just took a pen and drew the terrain of Huangsha and the surrounding terrain, he drew it from memory, of course, the accuracy was greatly reduced, it was impossible to be as accurate as a map that had been accurately measured.
"Okay, you guys keep an eye on the swarm, and contact me as soon as they have any changes." Zhuo Maolin put away the topographic map.
"Also, where is the grass flying, and how are they going to rob it?" Zhuo Maolin asked again.
"The people flying on the grass are very slippery, they don't want to do a lot of work, they just want to take advantage of the captain's convoy to enter the yellow sand, and follow the trend and rob and run. Here's their plan. It takes more than half a day for the convoy to enter Huangshayuan, so that they can bite off the tail of the convoy and run away after a swarm of people attack the convoy. Li Xiang said.
"These bastards have a beautiful idea." Zhuo Maolin laughed.
"This is what this group of miscellaneous people have always done, they will run away when they fight, and if they are against the defenseless people, they will be extremely cruel, even the children will not be spared." Li Xiang said hatefully.
They also hate the people who fly on the grass, but they haven't fought each other, and the people who fly on the grass know that the salt gang is not easy to mess with, so they will never touch the goods of the salt gang, and the salt gang will have no reason to attack them, after all, the salt gang is not a gang that does the right thing for heaven.
"Tomorrow I will find a way to knock out all the people flying on the grass." Zhuo Maolin hates people flying on the grass very much, relatively speaking, people who swarm sometimes still steal and have a way, at least they have the bottom line of acting, not killing innocent people, just robbing things, and the herdsmen of small households are not worth their hands at all.
By now, Zhuo Maolin could basically guess that he would definitely choose to break through from Huangshayuan instead of taking a detour.
In the tent of the Tatar-Chinese military camp in the camp, a commander of a thousand was reporting to Monno who was lying on the bed.
"My lord, a swarm of people has sent news that they are ready to make a move in the yellow sand. What shall we do? ”
Monno can only speak slowly, speak clearly, and his brain can still function normally.
"Tomorrow, you will protect the vehicles of the minister and those officials, and put the vehicles pulling the goods in the back, and if a swarm of people attack the vehicles, you will stand by and say that this is my order, and the minister can come to me to reason."
Jehan summoned a swarm of beeweed and other rogues to prepare to loot the goods, which Monno and several commanders had a part in, after all, this was a military operation, and it was impossible for Jehan to do so without their prior consent.
"Besides, when the minister comes to me tomorrow, you will do this?" Monno spoke slowly against the commander's ear.
"What, to attack His Highness the Chincha? How does this work? The Great Khan's order is to say that the safety of His Highness will be guaranteed with our heads. The commander was taken aback when he heard this.
"What are you panicking about. After doing it, I killed the brothers in my tent together, and then said that it was done by a swarm of bees, and the Great Khan wanted to find someone to settle the account, so he would find a swarm of people. Monno gritted his teeth.
He didn't hate besides, but coveted the silver ticket of one million taels on his body. No matter how hard you dig out, you have to find a way to grab it, and if you can take advantage of the chaos tomorrow to realize this wish, this life is enough.
Of course, it would take a big risk, but he felt that any risk was worth it compared to a million taels of silver tickets.
After that, the king of Altan will not behead them all, after all, they are one of the four Praetorian Guards of the king of Alta, and they are the elite of the elite around the king of Alta.
"But ......" the commander still felt that it was too risky, and the wrath of the king of Altan was not so easy to bear.
"It's nothing, you just do it, and then I will ask the Great Khan for guilt, and you don't have the slightest responsibility." Monno gritted his teeth.
"Okay." This commander had no choice but to obey.
Jehan was still unconscious, and although Monno was lying paralyzed in bed, he was still the most powerful person after all.
Besides, he was meditating when he suddenly heard the footsteps of Zhuo Maolin patrolling outside the tent.
"Come in, I didn't sleep." Besides, he stretched out his legs and walked a few steps on the ground to move the blood from his legs.
"It's a bit urgent, otherwise I won't bother you." Zhuo Mao Lin Road.
When he came back, he felt that it was better to tell this information immediately, and it would be a little late to get up in the morning and study it again.
Ji Chang was guarding outside the tent, and seeing that it was not easy for him to stop him, the two were in a dilemma, and they spoke.
Zhuo Maolin didn't say much, and directly said the news he had obtained.
"What do you want to do? Is it to rush over the yellow sand or to take a detour? Zhuo Maolin asked.
"Take a detour? We were scared by more than 2,000 rogues and took a detour? What do you think, Ji Chang. Besides, he laughed.
"Kill them." Ji Chang's words were concise and to the point.
"yes, just do it, kill them. Not only this time, but also in the future, and all those who come to the door to provoke will be killed, and they will not be merciful. Besides, he slapped the table.
"Okay, that's what I estimated." Zhuo Maolin smiled.
So he took out the piece of paper, spread it on the table, and said with a smile: "This is the terrain inside the Yellow Sand Garden, as well as the surrounding terrain, if you want to kill a swarm of bees, you must first know the terrain there." ”
Besides, he smiled: "I knew you would be prepared." ”
"Don't thank me, I bought the information with your money." Zhuo Maolin said with a smile.
"Well, this picture is worth a thousand gold, even if you use your people to collect intelligence, how much silver do you need to find me, you don't need to save money in this regard." Besides, domineering.
"Don't worry, you don't have to think about the silver, the silver to sell your treasure map is almost enough."
The three of them looked at the map and were silent.
"Call Sun Hu here, and leave this messenger to him tomorrow." Besides, he said suddenly.
Ji Chang went out and soon brought Sun Hu in.
Sun Hu just fell asleep, but he didn't take off his clothes, from now on, they really have to wait for the day, if they want to take off their clothes and sleep well, don't think about it.
Besides, he explained the situation for a while, and then said: "This is a topographic map, you study it carefully, how many people you need to bring, how to fight this battle, this is our first battle, we must show our momentum and prestige, so that those rogue horse bandits on the grassland can restrain a little, and it is best to run away when we see us in the future." ”
Sun Hu looked at the topographic map for a long time, and then said, "Give me 3,000 men and horses, and promise to kill them all." ”
"No, I'll give you 6,000 people, but this time I can only arrange it, two teams of 3,000 people are lined up in two long snake formations, outflanking from here and here, not a single rogue is allowed to go, whoever lets people go will come to see them." Besides, he was murderous.
"Don't worry, three thousand people are enough." Sun Hu said with a smile.
"No, strategically despise the enemy, tactically we still have to pay attention to the enemy, we don't need to fight hard with the rogues, we have to give full play to our advantages, crush them, and strive to eat this gang of rogues with zero casualties." Besides.
"Zero casualties?" Sun Hu smiled bitterly.
It is not difficult to win this battle, but it is difficult to achieve zero casualties, fighting a war is the same as doing business, as the saying goes, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, no one can guarantee that they will only make money and not lose money.
Sun Hu carefully studied the topographic map, although both sides are hilly, the terrain is high and low, rugged, but there are enough advantages to hide the body, so that you can unconsciously outflank a swarm of people, and then crush them with the power of a long snake formation, and it is not impossible to achieve zero casualties.
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll let my brothers be careful." Sun Hu said cautiously.
Besides, he was not worried about winning or losing this battle, but he was a little worried that the people and horses brought by Sun Hu would be overly excited, and they forgot to protect themselves when they killed the enemy.
Besides, the idea is to fight steadily, step by step, first stabilize yourself, and then trap the enemy step by step.
"You stay at the end tomorrow and take care of the grass flying guys." Besides, he turned to Ji Changdao.
"Don't worry, my lord, tomorrow I will let the grass fly into dead insects on the grass." Ji Chang said with a smile.
"There are also zero casualties, which is a must." Besides.
Besides, the most concerned thing is to try to preserve the strength, now it is just out of the customs, if there are major casualties, the road in the future will not be able to go on.
