The wheels were rolling, the sound of hooves shook the sky, and the 200,000 army marched slowly on the wasteland, and after five days of departure, the 200,000 army finally left the boundary of Hebei and began to enter the boundary of Tianjin City.

At the current pace of the march, if things go well, it will be possible to reach the outskirts of Tianjin in three days. Tianjin is a coastal city, so most of the wilderness is the Gobi Desert.

Crossing the border of Hebei and entering the boundary of Tianjin City means that there is a threat of attack at any time.

Zhang Zuosheng, Zhang Jiachang, Yan Xisan and Feng Guozhang all unanimously decided to let the army have a good rest for the time being, and then rushed to Tianjin City in one go.

The army of 200,000 is definitely not a small number, and if the growth array is arranged, it will definitely not be seen from the beginning to the end. Fortunately, this is a combination of four forces, and each leading commander has 50,000 subordinates, and there has been no chaos.

And the army of 200,000 is not something that everyone dares to go up, and an army of this size is definitely not available in the surrounding area.

After resting their subordinates, the four commanders gathered together to discuss the next itinerary and how to attack the city of Tianjin.

Yejiabao's spies often haunt the army, and the four marshals already know this, and they have no way to hide the traces of the army, so they simply don't care, just bury their heads and hurry.

Of course, when the four marshals were in a hurry, they would naturally send spies to find out the reaction of Tianjin City. Although there were many dead and injured spies, news still came one after another.

The four of them learned that Ye Shaolong had actually gathered an army of 100,000 to prepare to defend the city, which was indeed beyond the expectations of the four of them. But when there were only 100,000, and they didn't know how much water was in it, the four of them didn't worry about anything.

On the contrary, he is even more confident in his 200,000 army, and it seems that the upcoming victory is within reach!

Zhang Zuosheng pointed to the Tianjin city on the map, and said with a cruel smile: "It is simply whimsical that a city of Tianjin that has been baptized by war also wants to resist the advance of our 200,000 army. ”

Zhang Jiachang agreed with the eldest brother Zhang Zuosheng's opinion, nodded and agreed: "The eldest brother is right, Ye Shaolong's 100,000 army still doesn't know how much water there is. In my opinion, after we arrive at Tianjin City, we don't need to be afraid of anything at all, and we will directly press the whole army to attack the city, and we will definitely be able to achieve success and take Tianjin City as quickly as possible. ”

These two were quite disdainful of Ye Shaolong in their words, and their tone just now was already visible!

Yan Xisan and Feng Guozhang glanced at each other, and each saw worry in each other's eyes. Feng Guozhang couldn't help but persuade: "It's better for the two marshals to be careful." The so-called fame is not a vanity, Ye Shaolong was besieged by foreigners twice, and finally survived unharmed. And the attacking foreigners didn't suffer a big loss and retreat in disgrace. ”

Yan Xisan also had to stand up and support Feng Guozhang at this time: "What Brother Feng said is true, Ye Shaolong can beat foreigners, whether he is lucky or really has such strength, we should not underestimate him." ”

A trace of disdain flashed in Zhang Zuosheng's eyes, but he hid it well, and said with a smile: "What the two of you said is good, but the two armies are fighting, and they will chill before they fight, which is also a taboo for soldiers." The two of them are right to be worried, but they can't grow the morale of others and destroy their own morale. ”

Zhang Zuosheng's words obviously didn't seem to have any problems, but if you think about it deeply, it is not difficult to hear that he still has a contempt for Ye Shaolong.

Feng Guozhang knew that this would be very dangerous, but he couldn't persuade him anymore, after all, everyone should still be united and harmonious now!

While the four of them were discussing, suddenly there was a commotion outside the big tent, and the four looked at each other in amazement, and then hurriedly walked out of the big tent.

I saw that all the soldiers in the battalion were nervous and vigilant, this was Zhang Zuosheng's camp, and only his soldiers were seen outside, and nothing happened.

Just when the four of them were puzzled, a cavalryman rushed over and said to Yan Xisan: "Marshal Qiyu, our army's camp was suddenly attacked by a group of cavalry, and more than 200 people were killed and wounded. ”

Yan Xisan was suddenly shocked and asked, "Have you ever caught them?" ”

The cavalry shook his head and said, "That group of cavalry is about 10,000 men, and after a surprise attack, they will withdraw." We simply don't have time to hunt down! ”

"Bastard!" Yan Xisan was so angry that he directly kicked the cavalry to the ground, and then hurriedly said goodbye to the other three and went back to his military camp first.

Hearing that there was a sudden attack by cavalry, the other three did not dare to slack off, and they walked and left, and everyone went back to the camp to arrange defense.

Three miles away from the garrison of the Hebei Coalition Army, Lin Biao and Tie Ta looked at each other and laughed. Just now, they quietly went around behind the butts of the 200,000 army, and then quickly attacked, killing more than 3300 of Yan Xi's subordinates, and then retreated wildly.

The first sneak attack was successful, Lin Biao was very relieved, the tower was also killed happily just now, if it weren't for the fear that the enemy would react and surround after a long time, he would definitely be able to kill a lot of enemy troops. Maybe it's not impossible to break up Yan Xisan's entire military camp.

Lin Biao remembered the lesson of the last time and said that he was not willing to take too much risk, so he fled after the hurried attack.

After Tie Ta laughed, he complained to Lin Biao with disdain: "You are too timid, you rushed and killed smoothly just now, and the enemy army did not have any vigilance at all." We should have killed him a few more, it would have been a waste to flee in such a hurry. ”

In the first attack, the opponent must be the most defenseless, and it is the best time to kill more enemies.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Lin Biao's face, he couldn't explain to Tie Ta, in fact, there was still a shadow in his heart, and he didn't dare to be so reckless.

Waving his hand, Lin Biao said: "That's enough, our purpose is just to constantly harass them, and as for killing the enemy, it won't be our turn to do it at all." ”

", what are we doing here if we don't kill the enemy. Is it necessary for us to travel all the way like this, as you said? The tower raised the bar with Lin Biao on the spot.

Lin Biao was very helpless, but he didn't continue to discuss this issue with him. There were still three or four days before the Hebei coalition forces arrived in Tianjin, during which time they had every chance to launch no less than three attacks.

Even if he can only kill three or four hundred enemies at a time, he can kill more than 2,000 enemy soldiers in a few times, and under the condition of ensuring the safety of the cavalry battalion, with such an achievement, he Lin Biao has nothing to regret.

"Okay, let's put that aside for now, let's study how to sneak attack next time!" Lin Biao had to change the subject.
