Chapter 047: Guerrilla Strikes
Zhang Yan's return gave Yuan Lang great confidence, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry brought back by Zhang Yan was more than 200 horses, and Yuan Lang discussed with Pan Feng distressedly, hoping that the Jizhou Army and the Yellow Turban Army could be added to the two-one, and one person and half were divided.

The cavalry brought out by Zhang Yan were all subordinates of Pan Feng's vanguard army, if he wanted to eat alone, it would be a bit too much, if he let Han Fu know, I am afraid that Yuan Lang would not be able to explain to such a big leader.
Looking at the smiling Pan Feng, Yuan Lang already knew in his heart that the deal was reached, although he only got more than 100 horses, but this windfall still gave the Yellow Turban Army a big enough boost in combat power.
After the "distribution of the spoils" was completed, Yuan Lang participated in the ceremony of sending out the snow archers, and after adding 500 archers, the already grown archer army now seems to be different from what it used to be.
Yuan Lang's mobilization work was done very well, and the soldiers were excited, and they couldn't wait to put on their wings and rush out to compete with Niu Fujun now.
Yuan Lang didn't say much, because the commander of the archery unit was Cao Hong, and now he divided the more than 900 archers.
More than 900 people were divided into four policies, and a commander was elected in a while.
The commanders of the first and second formations were Cao Hong and Cao Ang, and the commanders of the third formation were told by Zhang Yanhao that he was going to go, Zhang Yan was not tall and very flexible, and it seemed that it was reasonable to let his horse infantry act as an archer.
However, Pan Feng, the commander of the fourth formation, repeatedly emphasized that the arrangement was given to him, but Yuan Lang thought that he was only suitable for fighting on horseback, so he rejected his requests many times and assigned a deputy under Pan Feng to serve as a lieutenant.
At the end of the arrangement, Yuan Lang explained to everyone their task, that is, to invade the Niu Auxiliary Army in the way of guerrilla warfare, to traumatize the enemy and protect themselves with convenient gliding advantages, the strategy is to take turns to fight, fight wheel warfare, the time interval is the dawn of the next day, the purpose is to make the Niu Auxiliary Army unbearable, it is best to give them a certain deterrent and heavy damage.
The first formation was led by Cao Hong, and now that they had been assembled, they were waiting for Yuan Lang's orders.
"Go, I wish you all a triumphant!"
Yuan Lang gave an order, and Cao Hong rushed out with more than 200 snowboard shooters under his command under the cover of night.
Yuan Lang had already asked the scouts to find out the current situation of the Niu Auxiliary Army many times just now, and their location was less than ten miles north of here, and it seemed that they would not dare to stay in such a dangerous place as the pine forest.
Ten miles north of the Jizhou military camp is the only way to Suozao County, where the official road is, Niu Fujun is stationed there because he is afraid that the Jizhou army will run to Sujuo, and secondly, it is also self-protection, because there are mines all around, there will be no avalanches, and the wilderness is very suitable for cavalry combat, so Niu Fu is very confident that the station is there.
Niu Fu's confident choice missed one point, that is, the wilderness is also very suitable for the action of the Jizhou Army's snowboard shooters, it seems that Niu Fu has not realized the pressure brought to him by this new type of troops, and it is difficult to say whether Niu Fu is still so light on the enemy tonight.
Cao Hong's first formation had already left the barracks and slid north, and their swift sorties were silent, approaching the enemy's position step by step.
The transmission of information is very important, and Yuan Lang specially arranged a scout one mile to let them keep the barracks headquarters informed of the battle situation on the front line.
Night has fallen, Yuan Lang's military tent is brightly lit, and there are Pan Feng, Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Yan, Liu Zihui, Cao Ang and other lower-level generals, as well as the annoying Han Fu henchman Lord Lu.
"Lord Lu, this is today's battle report, please submit it to Lord Han!"
Yuan Lang dictated him and handed over the battle report written by Liu Zihui to Lord Lu, which was also the purpose of the trip surnamed Lu.
"General Yuan's achievements today are known to Lord Han, and I will hand over this report to my lords! Leave! ”
The surnamed Lu glanced at the people present with his eyes before leaving, and the contempt made people feel very uncomfortable.
The most uncomfortable thing is Pan Feng, the kind of contempt that others regard for him is precisely because he was almost captured today, this is also the surname Lu came in, and everyone summed it up from his words, that is, Han Fu was very dissatisfied with Pan Feng.
"If a person is not a sage, he can do no wrong, General Pan doesn't have to mind!"
Yuan Lang's words of comfort to Pan Feng were heard by Pan Feng as something else.
I only heard Pan Feng scolding: "How can such a villain be comparable to a sage, I'm sorry, I'm afraid of polluting the mouth of labor and management!" ”
"That's it, I see that next time he comes to show off his might, let's throw him out one by one!"
It's never a big deal to watch the excitement, Zhang Yan is straightforward and fast-talking, and is instigating Pan Feng to make mistakes.
"Hei Shuai, if you don't hurry up and rest and prepare for the war, you're still talking nonsense here and that!"
Zhang Yan is his subordinate, and Yuan Lang has reason to talk about him.
"Labor and management are night owls, they don't need to sleep, I can watch those soldiers go to sleep, I'll be free!"
When Zhang Yan said this, Yuan Lang looked at his bloodshot eyes, this black thing was not sleepy, but he was so excited that he didn't want to sleep anymore.
Because it is a guerrilla harassment tactic, after all, it is not a real hand-to-hand combat, so Yuan Lang doesn't care whether Zhang Yan sleeps or not, and Yuan Lang doesn't have the energy to care about other things now, because it stands to reason that the news of Cao Hong's first battle should have come back, but at this time, there is no scout coming back to report, so it can't be that something happened.
Also worried is Cao Ang, Cao Hong is his uncle, this is the first time they are fighting separately, it is inevitable that they are a little worried.
Everyone sat and chatted for a while, and although Yuan Lang was talking, his eyes never took off the door of the military tent for a moment.
Yuan Lang's waiting finally came to fruition, only to see that the curtain of the military tent was lifted, and it was one of the scouts that Yuan Lang was looking forward to walking in from outside.
"Tell me quickly, does General Cao Hong have any news back?"
When the scout entered the tent, everyone fell silent all of a sudden, and Yuan Lang, as the commander, naturally asked him.
"Back to Huang Shuai's words, General Cao Hong has found Niu Auxiliary Army, and launched a guerrilla war according to the previous instructions, as of the news just now, Niu Auxiliary Army is very unsuitable for our army's tactics, and has suffered countless casualties!"
Most of the scout's reply was exaggerated, he said that "countless casualties" was definitely to invite credit, but at least Yuan Lang knew that Cao Hong had already started a war with Niu Fujun, and the results should still be very good.
"Keep exploring!"
"Yes!"
After the scout left, Yuan Lang's heart was finally steady, according to the gliding advantage of the snowboard archers, our army could beat the enemy, and the enemy army could not touch us, coupled with the guerrilla tactics specially formulated by Yuan Lang, the enemy advanced and I retreated, the enemy retreated and I advanced, and shot an arrow to change a place, the combination of the two, it seems that the Niu auxiliary army must not take much advantage.
What Yuan Lang has to do now is to bite the Niu Auxiliary Army and attack its shortcomings with the strengths of our army, as the so-called ten thousand ants can also erode the elephant, he wants to see how long he Niu Fu can hold out in the long run.
Seeing that more than half of the hour had passed, Yuan Lang knew that it was time to send out a second formation, so he ordered Cao Ang, who had been waiting impatiently, for a long time: "General Cao, you will replace your uncle next!" ”
"The Last General's Order!"
Cao Ang bowed, then picked up his bow and arrows, and rushed out of the military tent with his retinue to replace Cao Hong.
Coincidentally, Pan Feng shouted internal urgency and walked out of the military tent together, so that except for Liu Zihui, all the generals of Yuan Lang's account were the generals of his Yellow Turban Army.
"Nowadays, it is not uncommon for the second generation of officials like this!"
Yuan Lang said this casually, I don't know if it was a compliment to Cao Ang, or a cynicism to the children of today's scholars.
"The second generation of officials?" Liu Zihui's ears were sharp, he actually heard Yuan Lang's exclamation, so he said: "It's such a novel vocabulary, you can always learn a lot of strange things with Brother Yuan, it's really beneficial!" ”
Yuan Lang quipped: "Mr. Liu and I are like toads looking at mung beans, right eyes!" I don't know if I will be lucky enough to have Mr. in this life? ”
Liu Zihui was stunned for a moment, Yuan Lang had already made it clear in and out of his words, this was blatantly wooing him to join the gang, but Liu Zihui had his own hardships, and only listened to him apologetically said: "I am a native of the countryside, and I have to be given up by Hanzhou Shepherd, and I am engaged in governance, and this kindness has not been repaid, and I dare not think about it!" ”
"Haha, I'm also saying it, don't mind, sir!" Yuan Lang turned to the right color and said: "But the situation is changing, the world is unpredictable, in case Jizhou changes one day, I hope Mr. Liu will think about it first!" ”
Liu Zihui was taken aback, he didn't seem to be joking when he saw Yuan Lang, but what did he mean by "changing the sky"?
The accounts are all his own people now, which is why Yuan Lang dared to talk to Liu Zihui so blatantly.
But Liu Zihui's position is firm, although Han Fu is a little mediocre, but Liu Zihui, who has to be taken care of by him, still wants to follow him with all his heart, it seems that the loyalty of the ancient scholars is unquestionable.
Yuan Lang looked down on these people a little too much, especially Liu Zihui, who was very close to him, he thought that he would win it with one move, but the result was not as easy as he thought.
