Chapter 165: Set up the bait

Ma Long shook his head and grinned, the wrinkles on his face were piled up, like the bark of an elder full of vicissitudes: "Great, when the last general followed the general army of Qin to resist Zhang Xianzhong a few years ago, the Huguang soldiers were outside Kuimen, and let us ask for help in every possible way, but they did not send a single soldier, and after the thieves shrank to Hanzhong, they flocked into Sichuan to pick up cheap, forcibly occupied the prefectures and counties, called the Ming officers and soldiers, and they were actually the princes of the independent side, which was very hateful." 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】”

Chen Xiang said: "That is, we are actually angry with our silver mine and send troops to attack, where is there still the appearance of the same court officers and soldiers, clearly bandits." ”

Wang Huan raised his eyebrows and snorted: "Since ancient times, soldiers in troubled times have been like bandits, but today's officials and soldiers are more terrible than thieves, so my Kuizhou army went out of the stone pillar and into Sichuan, to eliminate harm for the people, to suppress bandits for the court, and to stand on a moral stand, and it is understandable for the court to ask about it in the future!" ”

Ma Long and Chen Xiang said in unison: "That's right! ”

"But the battle should be fought, and how to fight must be considered." Wang Huan said in a deep voice: "They have a large number of soldiers, and we have few soldiers and few soldiers, so we must be taken by surprise and caught off guard, which is the best policy." ”

Ma Long and Chen glanced at each other, and they both saw a blank in each other's eyes, they would not be timid when talking about fighting Ma Long, and they would not be vague about lurking Chen Xiang, but when it came to sword strategy, the two of them couldn't do it, and they couldn't figure out what to do for a long time, but it didn't matter, experience told them that if they had difficulties finding Wang Huan, this adult would definitely be able to solve their worries.

"Please command, my lordship, I will wait to go to the soup and fight the fire!" The two clasped their fists together and said in unison.

At this time, Zu Bian led a team of people to drag the Fran cannon and climbed the city wall, and when he saw this scene at a glance, he immediately didn't ask what he was talking about, and rushed over like a lively one, standing with Ma Long and Chen Xiang and shouting.

The three of them gathered around Wang Huan and looked at him eagerly.

Wang Huan stared, feeling a little sad in his heart, why are there all reckless men and strategists under my hands who only know how to make G with knives? What about a scheming strategist in the blink of an eye? Can't you find it all these years? He searched in his mind, but he really didn't think that there were famous military advisors and wise generals in Nanming, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chengzong and others had either defected to the Qing Dynasty or died, and there was nothing written in the history books except for these people.

Li Guo is counted as one, but he can't be recruited at this time, and Zhang Xianzhong's several righteous sons can also be counted, but they can be farther away.

That's it, it's better to rely on yourself, Wang Huan suddenly missed Ma Xintian very much, although the taciturn Ma Xintian is silent, he is very logical, and he knows how to use his brain when he does things, unlike these few, he knows how to roar "Follow the orders of adults!" Then he looked at himself.

Touching the remnants of the bricks on the stone city wall, Wang Huan thought about it and said slowly: "There are fewer people and more people, the terrain is very important, the two battles we fought in front of us were all based on the favorable terrain in advance and took advantage of it, otherwise just talking about the combat experience of Yang Zhan and Tan Wen, any one person will throw me a few streets, plus the number of soldiers is several times that of me, we are bound to lose both battles, but the result is that we won, and now this battle is ......"

Zu Bian's mouth was fast, and he immediately said with a smile in excitement: "Do we also want to set up a trap and set up an ambush?" ”

"No!" Wang Huan categorically denied: "It can't be like this anymore." ”

The three of them were stunned, and they all had a look of surprise on their faces.

Wang Huan shook his head and said: "One thing is indispensable, and any strategy will not work when it is old." No matter how stupid Zeng Ying's side is, he will not fall in the same trap three times, I expect that Zeng Ying's army is rolling in, and he will inevitably send countless scouts to turn over the bottom along the way, especially in the narrow places, he will be more careful, although we have laid the illusion that the army has not moved in the city of Chongqing, and we may not be able to hide it from those who have a heart. ”

Zu Bian closed his mouth and was silent for a while, and when he saw that the other two people around him didn't speak, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and shouted: "My lord, what should I do then?" Could it be that he was trapped on the mountain and waited for him to come? ”

Wang Huan smiled slightly: "From the analysis of common sense, we should arrange and deal with it like this, with only a few thousands, even if it is an ambush, it is difficult to eat tens of thousands of troops, and anyone in our position should think so." ”

Ma Long's eyebrows furrowed, and he said loudly: "My lord, I'm afraid I ...... do this."

Wang Huan didn't wait for him to finish, and waved his hand to interrupt him: "Yes, if you do this, the worst result will be that we will be broken by him, and we will all die here; The best result is to confront Zeng Ying, fight for his lack of food and grass, and fight for his lack of soldiers, but for us, it is not a good thing. ”

"The longer the war between us and Zeng Ying drags on, the happier one person becomes, guess who?" Wang Huan looked at the three of them.

Chen Xiang reacted quickly, and after thinking about it, he hurriedly shouted: "Zhang Xianzhong! ”

Wang Huan bowed: "Yes! The situation in Chengdu seems to be critical, but it is only on the surface, with Zhang Xianzhong's ability and military strength, it will not take long to extinguish the rebellion of the landlords and squires, and in less than a month, he will be able to stabilize his foothold and free up his hands to clean up eastern Sichuan. ”

"So there's only one way out." Wang Huan solemnly asserted: "We must kill Zeng Ying in a short period of time, defeat the forces that are against us in Chuandong, completely control Chuandong in our hands, and then use all our energy to deal with the thieves in order to have a few chances of winning." Otherwise, we won't even have the possibility of returning to the pillars. ”

The three of them were even more confused, and they even forgot to look at each other and exchange confused eyes, and just looked at Wang Huan in a daze, and finally Chen Xiang asked: "So, my lord, since we are going to fight a decisive battle with Zeng Ying, what are we still doing on this mountain?" ”

"No other, just bait." Wang Huan said: "I want to firmly attract Zeng Ying's attention to Diaoyu City, use this city to consume his soldiers, consume his lead bullet gunpowder, consume his fighting spirit, wear down the spirit of everyone in his army, kill him in the defense like a wringing machine, and finally, when he is distracted, destroy him in one fell swoop!" ”

"But first of all, as Ma Long said, we must first fight a battle with dignity, extinguish his prestige, stimulate his anger, so that Zeng Ying can't sleep without watching us die in this fishing city, and he will be desperate to besiege the city and fight endlessly. At the same time, we must also let our soldiers know that in addition to playing ambushes under the trap, the Kuizhou soldiers are also invincible when they are placed in the right array. ”

Zu Bian and the other three were stupid, especially Zu Bian and Ma Long, who were almost enthusiastic, but Fan Wufu did not yearn for the face-to-face formation of the army on the battlefield, the tip of the needle against Maimang, and the dignified military formation battle was what the big husband did.

So the two of them were full of excitement, and shouted together: "Follow the orders of the lord!" ”
