Chapter 398: Luring the Wolf into the Urn
"The Mongols have one man and two horses, come and go freely, if they want to eat them, it is not possible to put an array of troops to meet them head-on, these Mongolian Tartars are the most cunning, seeing that there are many of us, they will turn around and leave, and they will never stay for half a moment." Li Tingyu shook his head and said, feeling that it was difficult to do.
Ma Xintian felt the same way, and said slowly: "If this is the case, it is better to set up an ambush." ”
Li Dingguo agreed: "Yes, set up a trap, wait for him to drill, and then close the door and beat the dog, so that they can't get out if they come in." ”
"It's not so easy, the cavalry is good at maneuvering, once something is wrong, it can be easily withdrawn, we have a majority of foot soldiers, we can't surround and can't catch up, I'm afraid that if we eat some of it, the rest will run away, this set is not easy to set." Li Tingyu touched his beard and said worriedly, the best way to deal with cavalry is to use cavalry to control cavalry and use more ferocious cavalry to restrain the enemy cavalry, but whether it is Ding Guodong's Gansu Town or Wang Huan's Kuizhou cavalry, compared with the Mongolian cavalry who grew up on horseback since childhood, whether it is riding skills or horse kung fu, it is still much worse.
The surrounding soldiers were resting on the ground, talking and laughing softly, eating dry food and drinking boiled water, very comfortable. Their superiors gathered together, thinking hard about how to wipe out the Qing soldiers who had left Taiyuan.
Wang Huan listened to the discussion, and also felt that it was difficult to find an idea, it was indeed difficult to completely defeat a good cavalry in the field battle, but if this enemy army was not destroyed, the rebel army would besiege Taiyuan in the future, but there was such a force harassing on the periphery, it was difficult to say whether the people's army that had not gone through the baptism of blood and fire would collapse and cowardice.
Once these people can't trap Taiyuan, then in the future, the Kuizhou army will fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy in front and back, and the encirclement and reinforcement will become a foolish act of setting up their own cages.
"No matter what, these thousands of people must be eliminated!" Wang Huan said categorically: "Otherwise, there will be endless troubles, this is the premise, otherwise the matter of surrounding Taiyuan will not be mentioned." ”
Li Tingyu raised his head and said worriedly: "The truth is this reason, but what should be done?" ”
Zubian interjected: "Yes, these Mongolians rely on their horses to be fast, wandering around, comparable to thieves, a county town and a county town to fight grass valleys, we don't know where they will go next, they can't catch up, they can't chase, two legs are faster than four legs, what should I do?" ”
Hit the grass valley? A county town and a county town to beat the grass valley?
Wang Huan's eyes suddenly lit up, and Zu Bian's words made a light bulb suddenly light up in his head, and it exploded.
He happily patted his ancestor on the shoulder and laughed, "Not bad! The Mongols are greedy for money and profit, and their nature of looting is stronger than their ability to fight, so why don't we take advantage of it? ”
Seeing him laughing, everyone around him was confused, looking at him in confusion, and several leaders of the rebel army such as Han Zhaoxuan and Yu Yin who were standing on the periphery were even more startled, and they didn't know why.
Only Li Dingguo, his eyes were shining, the essence of his eyes was flashing, as if he had an epiphany, and he smiled with Wang Huan.
"Dingguo has a plan? Tell me about it! Wang Huan looked at him and said with a smile.
Li Dingguo knew that this was to show his face and build his prestige, he deeply bowed his hand to Wang Huan and agreed, and then raised his head and slowly said to the group of people who were staring at him: "Everyone, what does the Hou Ye mean is that since the Mongols like to loot, we will let them loot, they avoid war, and we will not compete with them, there are many counties in Taiyuan Prefecture, so what does it matter if you rob them with another one?" As long as you can trap them in the city, it will be much easier to clean them up. ”
There are those who are transparent, and they understand it when they hear it at this moment, and they all make a sudden realization, and they can't stop nodding, and some are dull, they look around anxiously, and they are embarrassed to ask, so as to appear that they are stupider than others.
Fortunately, Wang Huan resolved their confusion in time, and he continued: "Yes, General Li said that it is the second to eat this cavalry, let's not chase it, let them go into the jar by themselves, and catch turtles in an urn, wouldn't it be happy?" Ha ha! ”
At this time, everyone understood that this was to use the city as a temptation, connived at the Mongols to plunder, and then gathered troops outside to besiege them, and consumed the cavalry who were good at maneuvering in the city.
Wang Huan turned his head to look at Han Zhaoxuan and the others who were standing on the periphery, and said with a smile: "This method still needs your cooperation and assistance before it can be done." ”
Han Zhaoxuan and the others shook their bodies, and felt that although they were standing outside the generals of the Kuizhou army, they were as glorious as Wang Huan's cronies, and hurriedly hugged their fists and said: "But according to the orders of the Hou Ye, we have nothing to say!" ”
……
On the vast land of the Taiyuan Basin, a long dragon team under the cover of rolling dust, is slowly marching along the official road, look closely, this team is very peculiar, walking in front, is thousands of cavalry with bows and knives, these cavalry are wearing leather armor, wearing leather helmets, fierce and brave, at a glance is a well-tempered knight.
And the tail followed them, stumbling like a flock of sheep, bound by a long rope and leading into a string of people, both men and women, all of them with a sad look and a languid appearance, stumbling by the cavalry who passed by them from time to time, shouting and whipping with leather whips, barely following behind the horses.
Kuruk and Darhan were smiling all over their faces, and they marched in the middle of the procession, smiling with smug smiles on their faces, indicating that they had gained a lot from this trip.
"Hahaha! What do you think? Am I right? Kuruk talked and laughed unbridledly, and his rough voice was like a wolf howling on the grassland: "Follow the nobles of Jianzhou to fight to the death, and exchange the military exploits with human heads, it is better to go on your own trip like this, and the harvest is enough to enjoy a few years of happiness!" ”
"Pole to pole!" Darhan replied in a loud voice, and his words were full of satisfaction that his desire was released: "It's still the eldest brother who thinks thoughtfully, if you had come out earlier, we would have sent it a long time ago!" ”
"It's not too late, there are still a lot of counties near Taiyuan, enough for us to loot!" Kuruk's voice was full of joy: "I just grabbed two, and there are many waiting for us!" ”
Darhan got the benefit, and his eyes were even more slender with a smile, and they matched his broad face, like a slit: "Listen to you, where are we going next?" ”
"Huh? Let me see. Kuruk took out a picture from the sheepskin pouch around his waist and looked at it carefully: "It's time to go to Taigu County, this county is close to us and more convenient." ”
Darhan poked his head over, glanced at the map, and reminded, "Are there many thieves nearby?" Where is the Shaanxi Ming Army now? Don't run into it, we're not afraid, but it's a pity to lose these slaves. ”
Kuruk smiled calmly, a treacherous expression appeared on his big face, and said: "Don't worry, my warriors have been released fifty miles away these days, and the Ming army is still in the Jiaocheng area, and there is no large group of rebels near Taigu County, with our troops, it is enough to deal with it." ”
