Chapter 33 Target County

"Report! Tang Yan was fifteen miles away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Tang Yan's march was not fast, and the ranks were neat and orderly.

The team of more than 1,000 people before the departure turned out to be more than 2,000 people in the afternoon, and it turned out that he not only transferred the militia groups in Zizhou, but also collected the defeated troops of Tang Guan.

The whole mountain is full of camp tents, and there are people everywhere, Tang Yan is not in a hurry to attack the mountain, but forms a company camp, and first blocks the road down the mountain from the Eagle Village.

The most typical tactics of the Hunan army against the Taiping army is to encircle, and one of the most important ones is to understand the host and the guest.

Defense-oriented, offense-oriented; Send heavy troops to surround the people, and then dig deep trenches, that is, do not attack or retreat, and use their strengths and avoid weaknesses to let the enemy attack them.

In the end, it will cost money and food, and the potential of both parties.

Therefore, if you look at the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the middle and late periods, you will find that they were not defeated by the military level, but were consumed by the fragile economic potential, so the later they went, the more they fought economic wars.

Of course, it was another thing for Britain, France, and Western countries to support the Qing court in fighting a civil war.

After the Taiping Army established the capital, it lost its early mobility ability, and was slowly defeated by its own concept of territorialization, which is probably what Mao Taizu said about saving land and losing people.

After Tang Yan learned that Tang Guan had been captured, he already had a new understanding of the bandits in Eagle Mountain, re-evaluated this force, and wanted to fight quickly, which was basically impossible.

So I had to pick up the tactics of the Hunan army and learn them in a decent way.

Although this method of battle is a bit obscene, it is practical, but before that, he still wanted to wipe the combat power on the mountain and witness the strange fighting style of the bandits on the mountain.

A hundred or so people, dressed in miscellaneous militia groups, holding knives and carrying guns, carefully touched up, Yang Dongfang looked at the camp under Tang Yibu under the mountain, his brows twisted, and secretly said What does the old guy mean, he is planning to stay in Erdaowan, it is a tree camp, and it is digging a ditch.

"Boss, the thief surnamed Tang, has begun to tempt, do you want to beat them down?"

"No, don't worry about anything, just arrange a small squad to guard it, don't let the arrows go, let them touch the thunder."

If you want to wipe me, then let you wipe it, Yang Dongfang has already seen that Tang Yan doesn't want to attack at all, or doesn't want to today, it's not good.

Sure enough, after paying more than a dozen casualties in this militia group and being hit by two mines, Tang Yan asked people to retreat, and he understood the mines, and with his cognition, he couldn't solve this headache.

So the attack is futile, and he can't break through Eagle Mountain at all, even if he is willing to attack at any cost, those regimental trainers are unwilling.

The two regiments who followed Tang Guan had already cried about yesterday's tragedy and strongly demanded that the people under them be rescued.

With his own headquarters battalion, it is better to cut his own flesh, and recruit the Black Eagle again to ask for a question, and understand the terrain conditions of the Eagle Village and Black Mountain Tsui, Tang Yan not only shook his head, it is not easy to do.

"My lord, are you going to attack Black Mountain Tsui?"

Black Eagle asked cautiously, and Tang Yi smiled: "Eagle Village hasn't been taken yet, what kind of Black Mountain Tsui to fight, didn't you say that the terrain of Black Mountain Tsui is ten times more dangerous than here?" Besides, it's a long way to go, so it's hard to walk. ”

Seeing this, Black Eagle rolled his eyes and thought for a while: "But my lord, this new people's army has newly acquired Black Mountain Tsui, and its foothold is not hidden, and Black Mountain Tsui is bound to be underdefended, as long as we attack, it will definitely be defeated with one blow." ”

"Guan'er just didn't inherit the essence of my Tang family, so he thought so too, and now he has become someone else's captive."

Tang Yan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his face became serious and cold: "Let me ask you again, do you know the specific details of the group of people who took your cottage, how many of them are there?" How many muskets are there? What is it that they step on and explode? What about the sound of the attack on the camp last night? ”

Black Eagle was sweating profusely and nervous, he didn't know anything about what Tang Yan asked, and he fell to the ground in fear and didn't dare to respond.

"I don't know if you don't know, then you said that if the Black Mountain Tsui also buried the thing that would explode if you stepped on it, how could you fight it quickly, and defeat it with one blow."

Tang Yan snorted coldly, if he didn't think that Black Eagle was familiar with Eagle Mountain, it would be a bit useful, he really wanted to kill the sacrificial flag, improve morale, and finally send him to be a general and let him go to the back mountain to guard, in case the bandits here escaped.

Then consume it! This time it's going to be cheaper Liu Yuezhao's husband, Tang Yan looked south, and thought of it again with great unwillingness.

Also unwilling is Yang Dongfang, Tang Yan wiped it and finished the work, and continued to let people dig a ditch under the mountain, with a posture that consumes you, but not what he hoped.

Killing and injuring the enemy is the most effective way to fight, and fighting resources is the best strategy, which is very unfavorable to your own side, you must know that Black Mountain Tsui has just been defeated, as Black Hawk expected, it is not stable.

The main force of the New People's Army is in Eagle Mountain, and there are only 4 classes in Heishanzui, plus Lang Xuewu's supervision team, and the combat strength of 50 people is too weak.

There was no word all night, and the two armies confronted each other peacefully.

After dawn, Tang Yan did not make any other moves, continued to dig deeper, continued to consolidate the camp, and looked shameless to the end.

It doesn't matter if it's a white cat or a black cat, you're a good cat.

The essence must be carried forward, so Tang Yan also sent someone to the city to summon the little beauty of last night, thinking that the spring breeze and rain in Wushan at night would be repeated.

If you can't attack this mountain, can't you attack that mountain yet?

"Don't you want to consume? There's a kind of you don't go. After thinking about it all night, Yang Dongfang didn't want to suffer from the kind of wretched spirit of the Taiping Army, Tang Yan wanted to consume, and he didn't want to be disrespectful to the old, so he didn't play with him.

With an idea, I found the two of them to discuss it, and the mountain began to be busy during the day, and everyone was looking for ropes, the more the better, and if it was not enough, take off your clothes and tear it into a braided hemp rope.

On the other hand, the three shifts take turns to rest and sleep to recuperate.

During the day, Tang Yan still did not attack the mountain, and after nightfall, Eagle Mountain became even busier, and those prisoners who were not honest on the surface were stuffed with rags in their mouths one by one, and a rope was tied from between their teeth to the back of their heads with their mouths open, and their hands were also reversed and tied behind them, and the back of their heads were tied together with ropes between their hands.

In this way, he can neither speak nor move his hands, this trap is Li He's masterpiece, he said that this is how the family used to kill pigs, and seeing the first finished product couldn't help but make Yang Dongfang miss a certain island country with hundreds of g.

"The fat man remembers, he must leave the Eagle Village before dawn, Tang Yan likes it so much, then this cottage will be given to him, and those captives will be returned to him." Before leaving, Yang Dongfang still confessed:

"After leaving, go back to Heishanzui directly, or prevent this old thing from sneaking attack, and you will be handed over to you to preside over the overall situation, just guard the cottage before we come back."

After speaking, Yang Dongfang took a small class of Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 to the back mountain, leaving Li He with a trace of resentment.

————I'm the dividing line————

"Report! Adults, bandits, bandits ran away from the back mountains. ”

"What!" Tang Yan asked urgently: "Tell me about the specific situation." ”

Black Eagle said: "My lord, the bandits tied up the brothers who were captured before, and then drove them to break through the defense from the back mountain, and we couldn't see the situation clearly when it was dark, but the bandits wanted to break through, so they shot with arrows, killed a lot, and the brothers were killed, and then the bandits and the kidnapped brothers scattered and fled, so, so. . We'll chase it, and finally. ”

"In the end, the bandits didn't catch any of them, and your own brothers were captured by you, right?"

After listening to this, Tang Yan smiled bitterly, and the black eagle replied yes, and changed his words to say that he didn't catch a few people, because most of them were killed before, and later they learned that they were their own brothers, and attributed the reason to those people who were gagged and couldn't make a sound, otherwise they would definitely not be injured by mistake.

"How many bandits have fled, you can know whether they are the main force on the mountain." Tang Yan doesn't care much about manslaughter now, and if he dies, he dies, it's all mud legs, which is to spend more money on settling-in, but if he can make meritorious service and atone for his crimes, it is not indispensable to go around lightly.

This time, Black Eagle learned to be obedient, and he didn't dare to say that he didn't know anything, and he didn't know how many people from the New People's Army had broken through, but he replied with great certainty: "There are more than 100 people." ”

Tang Yan didn't bother with the authenticity, and asked again: "I'm afraid that there are only a small half of the bandits in the mountains." ”

"It should be!" Black Eagle breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly pinched his sweat for his lies, but when he turned around, Tang Yan kicked over and scolded angrily: "Waste, what an incompetent waste, you actually let the bandits go, you should be punished with death, what use do I want you, pull it out and cut it." ”

"Your Excellency has wronged, your adult has helped." The Black Eagle was so frightened that he shouted for mercy and kowtowed.

"Okay, I am going to attack the mountain immediately, so I will spare you for the death penalty, go down first to get the five army sticks, I want you to take a few brave strong men up the mountain, if you can't take the Eagle Mountain, come to see you."

At this time, Black Hawk knew that he had reaped the consequences, and he would have reported a little less.

I even understand that the old boy Tang Yang didn't take him, the old man of the old Eagle Village, the five masters of Black Mountain Tsui, in his eyes, and at the same time understood why the general of Tang Yang in the back mountain sent him to report the news, and the feelings were also to be used as scapegoats.

Tang Yan has a temperament, his subordinates are very clear, on the surface he is a Confucian general, gentle and elegant, he is a sinister and ruthless person in his heart, and he is an executioner who does not blink an eye when he kills people.

At this time, he secretly regretted it, he had known what Tang Yan was doing with his mother, and when he came down from the Black Mountain, it was not good to find a place to be merry and happy, this desperate job was not his purpose?

While paying attention to not planting thunder under his feet, he scolded Tang Yan again: "Old boy, don't let your master live, otherwise. . . Hum. ”

Just when Black Eagle was worried about his life, it was Hou, and Yang Yang Fang was gathering the team ten miles away.

"Report that the company commander's squad 1 is all here, and the two of them are not seriously injured."

"Boss, we are all in class 2."

"Hmmm! Then run forward and target the county seat. ”
