Chapter 43: Conquering the Boundary Field (2)
Yang Dongfang nodded and said: "In this way, let's go to the periphery of the boundary field first to take a look at the planning, it is impossible to attack, we try to outwit it, you can think about it a lot, and you can put forward any good ideas."

After speaking, Yang Dongfang said to Hong Ming: "Please also ask Brother Hong to collect more information about the boundary field, and the information on Jiazhou (Leshan) is also very important." β
After confessing, Hong Ming reported his fist and left, and then Zeng Shihe walked out: "Yang Shuai is really going to fight the boundary field, will he anger Luo Bingzhang, the old horseman." β
Yang Dongbai really wanted to roll his eyes.
You were the one who moved yourself to the boundary field at the beginning, and now you are embarrassed to say such things.
However, Yang Dongfang sat down and replied slowly: "Even if we don't move the boundary field, as long as Luo Bingzhang kills Wang Huzi, I'm afraid he won't let us go, and the 100,000 troops he mobilized will surround Tieshan District, and we will still fight him at that time." β
The difference is only that whoever makes the first move takes the initiative.
Zeng Moumou understood this, so he wanted Yang Dongfang to move the boundary field.
"Although we are not strong yet, we don't want to expose ourselves and fight with him, but at that time, it was not up to us to have the final say." Then Yang Dongfang continued:
"As the boss said, the weather is getting cold now, and it will be late October to capture the Lianjie field, and it will be freezing, and it will not be so easy for Luo Bingzhang to deal with us at that time."
"Your sister, when did I say such a thing?" Zeng Moumou was even more depressed, although he had reminded Yang Dongfang to pay attention to the boundary field, implying that there was such a meaning, but I didn't open my mouth to say it!
However, in order to show that he was prescient, Zeng Moumou said: "It's not just the weather, our strength has increased dramatically at that time, Luo Bingzhang needs to spend more troops if he wants to encircle and suppress us, and we can also use the time before the year to train the new army, and we are fighting with him in the spring." β
Yang Dongfang nodded, his eyes were also suspicious: "So! The king's beard is still very important to us. β
The two looked at each other and smiled, very funny.
Although he hated Wang Huzi, he had to shake his head and sigh, if Wang Huzi could last a little longer, it would be best to attract the main force of the Qing army.
It's strange to love and hate him now.
ββββI'm the dividing lineββββ
Yang Dongfang was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary peasant and led people to a certain piece of thorns near the Lianjiechang.
Looking at the past from here, sure enough, as Hong Ming said, the Qing army here is extremely vigilant, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, the gate of entry and exit is often closed, and only a small door is opened for people to enter and exit, even so it is strictly checked and carried.
Jumping to look at the patchwork buildings on the Lianjie Field, Yang Dongfang suddenly put Cheng Bazi into a camera window with both hands, pulled the entire Lianjie Field into sight, and smiled after looking at it for a while: "The Lianjie Field is actually not big." β
The person sent by Hong Ming to contact is called Hong Xing, who is not tall and stocky, and he doesn't know why, so he said honestly: "Lianjiechang is several times larger than the ordinary town. β
"Is it as big as a county seat?"
Hong Xing shook his head and scratched his head, but he wondered in his heart, if there is a big county, is it still called Lianjiechang? You asked knowingly, and secretly rolled your eyes.
"Therefore, only smelting is in the boundary field, and other ores are mined in other mountains and transported in." Yang Dongfang had already seen the gate of the Lianjiechang open, and a cart of ore was sent in under the supervision of the militia group, and then the gate was closing.
"Where are the nearby mines, far from here?"
"Some are far away, some are not far away, and most of the iron ore mines are on the ridge of Lianjiechang, but these mines outside are guarded by vigilante groups, and there is a mutual insurance agreement between them." Hong Xing finally knew what Yang Dongfang wanted to do, so he simply told the situation, which seemed to mean that it was not easy for you to fight these mines.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that they won't protect each other and won't save each other, so it's so boring to fight."
Soon Yang Dongfang explored these mines again, and found that sure enough, there were hundreds of militia groups stationed in each place, or Qing soldiers guarding them.
Moreover, he also found that the miners in the mines guarded by the militia stayed in the mines day and night, while in the mines guarded by the Qing soldiers, the miners were all escorted out of the company boundary field in the early morning by the Qing soldiers, and then sent back at sunset, and most of these people wore iron shackles.
Asked about Hong Xing, this kid said: "These people are the scattered generals of Li Lan's great victory in the past, and after being captured or surrendered, they were assigned to the company boundary field as a dead worker, and there were more than 200 pioneer banners who surrendered in Longkong War, more than 2,000 strong rebels, more than 2,400 wounded soldiers and more than 700 old and weak women, and more than 10,000 other seven, seven and eight successively. β
"What pit killed more than 10,000 people." Yang Dongfang took a deep breath, and his hands were grabbed and inserted between the sand and stones very unnaturally, it was really a fucking era.
Vicious! There are 10,000 people, which is 5 times more than the number of people who were killed in the Dadu River at the beginning, which is appalling and terrifying, if his plan had not succeeded, he would have turned into a pile of ashes.
"Of course, Brother Hong saw it with his own eyes back then, at that time he was mixed in the Qing Demon's grain transportation team, otherwise you think he can sit in the hall master now, it was later that he went to tell the families of those who were killed in the pit, and got their support, so he sent our branch to Yang Guang...
Listening to the information revealed by Hong Xing, Yang Dongfang immediately wanted to strangle Hong Ming again, Heaven and Earth would have left a hand for himself, and he didn't tell him such important information, otherwise he would have done it here a long time ago.
Hong Ming is indeed selfish, in his plan, no matter whether Yang Dongfang's new people's army can break through the Lianjie field or not, these workers of the victorious country will be rescued by the Heaven and Earth Society as much as possible, at that time, these people are the people of the Heaven and Earth Society, and they can pull out a decent army by relying on these people, so that the Heaven and Earth Society will have the initiative.
For Yang Dongfang's refusal to pull the flag and rebel, the Heaven and Earth Society also had concerns, for fear that Yang Dongfang's new people's army would be recruited by the Manchus after it became powerful.
You must know that there was a saying in ancient times, to be an official to kill people and set fire to the gold belt, the more people killed, the greater the power, and the greater the recruitment of security officials, who knows whether Yang Dongfang had the idea of fighting, in order to get enough capital to negotiate with the Qing court, so he had to guard against it.
Yang Dongfang didn't care about Hong Ming's careful thoughts, and soon had an idea and returned to Heishanzui.
On the second day, he pulled the soldiers of Heishan Tsui down the mountain, and the first target was set at the mine nearest to the Lianjiechang, and the time was between the time of the hour and the time of Shen, which was about half past three in the afternoon.
Almost everyone was puzzled by Yang Dongfang's decision: "Boss, shouldn't these mines be far and then near, easy first and then difficult?" Strike first at mines where it is difficult to get support, and gradually clear and disintegrate the militia forces. β
"That's right, boss, isn't it more appropriate to fight a sneak attack at night?"
According to the practice of the New People's Army in the past, most of them attacked in the early hours of the morning when the enemy was most vulnerable, and this time how could they go the other way, and how did they think that this plan was a stupid decision.
Yang Dongfang was not stupid, he just smiled and asked:
"If we hit the far mines, will the Qing soldiers of the boundary field dare to come out to support? If they fight at night, will they dare to come out again?
It's daytime, it's close, and you have not seen the map I drawn, this is the most central location of all the mines and the boundary field, so that the militia can dare to come to support together.
Otherwise, even if they have a mutual insurance agreement, I don't think they dare to come out and fight in the field. β
The prestige of the New People's Army has already become famous, Wangjiabao is broken, Tang Guan is captured, Tang Yan is defeated, the county town is also broken, and there are still 100 muskets, who dares to take the initiative to provoke.
Only if the militia and the Qing army feel that the new people's army is dying, will they attack without scruples, otherwise they will hide in the company boundary field, Yang Dongfang really has no way to take them, and they will attack, although there are flying thunders, but it is not enough, the troops are too small and cannot afford to be injured.
The battle began on time, and the attacked mines were quickly dispatched to call for help.
