As the saying goes, if you rebel, you won't succeed in three years, but Zhou Ze, an officer who was born as a scholar, is a full man of action, and he has always done what he says.

After he decided that he wanted to retaliate against Zheng Jiajun, he began to consider the feasibility of this matter and the choice of targets. Assignment of combat missions.

Zhou Ze called several battalion commanders under his command and the commander of the reconnaissance squadron together, and then told him what he planned to retaliate against, so that everyone could discuss.

Normally, every army has a different personality, and this character comes from the character of the commander.

The style of the commander determines the overall style of this unit, and under the influence of Zhou Ze, a commander who advocates offense, the battalion commanders below are also supporters of attacking as the best defense.

So after hearing that the regiment commander said that he would retaliate against Zheng Jiajun, he immediately exploded, and they all applauded loudly, and patted their chests as the vanguard.

The first total annihilation of Zheng Sen's 3,000 men allowed the reconnaissance squadron and a regiment and a company to take the lead, and the other troops had opinions.

Originally, everyone thought that this war was basically over and there was nothing to do, but they didn't expect that the more exciting was still to come, so they all got excited again.

In a unit, if the commander in chief fails to seize the main attack task, he will be looked down upon by the soldiers below, and everyone will feel that the commander in charge will have no future if he follows such a thing, because only when there is a battle does it mean that there is a chance to make meritorious contributions. And military merit is the best way for soldiers to move up.

Looking at the generals who were screaming and taking the initiative to ask for battle, Zhou Ze was very relieved, but he scolded: "Give Lao Tzu a little stop, I want to fight more." Since there is a desire for revenge. Then choose a target. But when it comes to the front, it would be a bit too self-sufficient for us to attack Fuzhou, after all, it is also the base camp of others, and this face still has to be given to others. ”

"Liang Song, you go find a few more captives and ask to see if there are any valuable targets near this annex of Jianning Mansion that you can go to."

Liang Song is Lao Liang, the squadron leader of the reconnaissance squadron, and Zhou Ze naturally will not call him Lao Liang.

Liang Song agreed, and happily took a few people with him.

Zhou Ze is not idle here, there are still a few things to deal with before the action, the first is the matter of the prisoners, these prisoners must first find a place to escort and take care of them. At present, it seems that the most suitable place is naturally Wenzhou City.

"Company commander, you take your men to escort these captives to Wenzhou City, and then the wounded brothers are also brought over. The remains of the fallen brothers are also brought along, and I will arrange for two military doctors to go with you. If you are short of manpower, find some Langzhong from Wenzhou to help. ”

The reconnaissance squadron was actually the heaviest casualty among the entire Second Regiment, and it stands to reason that the reconnaissance squadron should be allowed to rest in Wenzhou City and escort the prisoners by the way.

But this attack still requires them to stand in the front and be the top soldiers.

After all, the reconnaissance squadron did this job, so after thinking about it, Zhou Ze decided to let the regiment, which ranked second in the number of battle damage, escort the prisoners to Wenzhou City.

The elder of the first company was reluctant, but after seeing his battalion commander's eyes at him, he had no choice but to take the order and take people to prepare.

After all, they knew that their regiment leader looked elegant and baby-faced, but he was a strong man who did what he said.

If you compete with him, the end will be miserable.

As soon as the company commander left, Zhou Ze sent two more people to immediately rush back to Hangzhou City to report the incident to the army commander Yue Pengju.

Although strictly speaking, his retaliation is a disobedience to military orders and unauthorized actions, but Zhou Ze also understands that their military commander is not the kind of conservative and cautious person, as long as the battle is won and he has made great contributions, he will be scolded at most when he goes back. There wouldn't be much of a consequence, so he dared to do it.

Zhou Ze also instructed the battalion commanders to count the ammunition consumption of his troops.

And ordered them to let the troops seize the time to rest, and at any time they could set off.

When the soldiers below heard that there was still a battle to be fought, and this time they took the initiative to attack the Zheng family's army, they all became excited, and they hurried to rest and eat to recover their strength.

Soon, Liang Song, the lieutenant captain of the reconnaissance squadron, rushed over to report to the regiment commander Zhou Ze about his interrogation of the prisoners.

"Commander, according to the captive, there are three more valuable targets in Jianning Mansion, the first target is the Zheng family's old house in Jianning City, it is said that Zheng Zhilong's old mother lives in the Zheng family's old house, and Zheng Zhilong will regularly go back to the old house to visit his mother.

And I heard that Zheng Zhilong is a dutiful son, if we can control the old mother in politics in our hands, then we..."

Liang Song didn't finish his words, but was interrupted by Zhou Ze waving his hand, "It's too embarrassing to use the old and weak women and children to blackmail the enemy, you can't do it, let's talk about the next one." ”

Liang Song obviously also understood the temper of his regiment leader, so he didn't say much, and continued directly:

"The second valuable target is to have a horse farm for Zheng Jiajun 20 miles east of Jianning Province, which is said to be one of Zheng Jiajun's two horse farms, responsible for raising military horses for Zheng Jiajun. According to the captives, there were at least 5,000 military horses in the stable. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ze's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you know the strength of the troops near the military horse farm?"

Liang Song nodded and said, "It is said that there is a battalion of men and horses guarding. Oh, according to the establishment of Zheng Jiajun, there are about 3,000 people. ”

About 3,000 people?

Hearing this number, Zhou Ze let out a calm sigh and didn't feel too concerned.

After all, just a moment ago, a 3,000-strong army of the Zheng Family's army with pure firearms had just been wiped out by his entire army.

Zhou Ze thought for a moment and asked, "What about the last goal?"

"The last goal is to have a small city in the west of Jianning City, called Fu'an Town. There is a granary of Zheng Jiajun here. According to the captives, the granary was large and the reserves were ominous, and the town of Fu'an was basically built and flourished around this granary. In addition, the Zheng family army stationed in Fu'an Town has a strength of about 5,000 people. ”

After listening to Liang Song, Zhou Ze's eyes lit up completely.

Now the goal is basically to choose between the granary and the military horse farm.

"Map."

Soon the guards put the map they carried in front of Zhou Ze and unfolded it, and Zhou Ze found Fuding Town, where the military horse farm is located, and Fu'an Town, where the granary is located, on the map.

After gesturing his finger on the map for a moment, Zhou Ze pointed his finger heavily on the small town of Fu'an and said loudly: "It's him."
