Huang Xinzhong, commander of the first regiment and one battalion, was a company commander under Tang Zhan of the second battalion of the third battalion of the Mengshan Army, and was also a Qing army platoon officer who was captured during the first anti-encirclement and suppression of Baoqian Village. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Later, Xu Lie investigated, only to find out that this guy actually had the identity of a showman, but because he was suppressed by the gentry in his hometown, he had to run to the team to eat food and become a soldier.

After receiving the order to go to Baiyangkou to block the Qing army, after decisively accepting the task, he did not get dizzy, but ordered the troops to advance rapidly, and at the same time took several assistants, company commanders, etc., to study the map repeatedly.

Because this guy is a talent, and after entering the army, he is quite attentive to command operations, so that this guy has also learned to settle accounts in command.

The result of his calculation was that they had more than enough time to rush to Baiyangkou, at least two hours ahead of the Qing army. Two hours, it's impossible to dig trenches and wait for the Qing army to attack, right?

Therefore, Huang Xinzhong immediately found the regiment commander Ren Hang and asked the commander to send a reconnaissance squad to them.

"Huang Xinzhong, what are you going to do?" Huang Xinzhong's request was quickly transferred to Xu Lie.

"Commander, it's like this......" Huang Xinzhong told Xu Lie everything he thought.

"Okay, Huang Xinzhong, this battle is over, you should make a great contribution!" Xu Lie immediately praised.

What idea did Huang Xinzhong have to praise Xu Lie? In fact, what Huang Xinzhong thought was not complicated, that is, he asked to send a reconnaissance squad to assist them, because he wanted to send a small force forward to block the advance of the Qing army, and was ready to kill and wound the Qing army along the way.

Kill and wound the Qing army along the way? Isn't this the deployment of the pursuing troops? Yes, it is indeed an established strategy for a large army to chase and kill in the rear, but it does not mean that when there is spare strength, it cannot be blocked at the front of the Qing army.

Moreover, what Xu Lie praised was not to give the Qing army a blow at the front, but how to hit this stick, if it was just to establish a blocking position to block layer by layer, Xu Lie would definitely not praise it, because in the face of Yuan Shikai's tens of thousands of newly formed army, it is difficult for dozens or hundreds of people to block the effect, and maybe it will bring unnecessary casualties to the blocking troops.

Huang Xinzhong thought of a way to harass, that is, to send a sharp army to advance on horseback, quickly seize the Qing army, take advantage of the favorable terrain, shoot a shot to change places, and constantly harass the Qing army. And Huang Xinzhong wanted a reconnaissance squad to accompany him, because the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion would arrange trick mines, and Huang Xinzhong wanted to bury a few trick mines for Yuan Shikai's new army, so that he could taste the benefits and disadvantages of the Mengshan army.

So, under Xu Lie's attention, Huang Xinzhong took the reconnaissance squad that was coming, and quickly rushed forward on horseback.

Huang Xinzhong's advantage lies in the fact that he calculated the marching speed of the Qing army to death, and he believed that the large army of the Qing army, even the new army trained by Yuan Shikai, could march at most 8 miles per hour, and march 8 hours a day, that is, 64 miles to the sky. In other words, the Qing army could not actually reach Linqu for a day. However, this time is different, because it is estimated that the Qing army only has one day's rations, and the all-out march consumes a relatively large amount of rations, so it is estimated that the speed of the Qing army will be slightly faster than the normal estimate, but considering that the Qing army marches in large forces, the speed cannot be much faster, at most 10 miles per hour.

However, for a regiment and a battalion, their marching speed can reach 10 kilometers per hour, and after every two hours, they can rest in place for half an hour to replenish their physical strength, and then they can have another two hours of rapid marching, that is, a regiment and a battalion can reach a destination 80 miles away in 5 hours, so simply calculated, under the premise that the total distance of the march is 80 miles, a regiment and a battalion can reach the destination 3 hours earlier than the Qing army. Although the Qing army has now set off half an hour early, it does not affect the operational deployment on the whole, and besides, Huang Xinzhong is going to block the small troops of the Qing army's march, not on foot, but on horseback.

Although the number of people in the Mengshan army who can fight in the form of cavalry is extremely limited, there are many people who can ride horses. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, people did not have cars, trains, bicycles, tractors, either on foot or on horseback, riding of course, only horses, mules, donkeys and so on, so there were not too many people who could ride on horses to fight, but there were indeed many people who could ride horses.

Because of this, Xu Lie's order to the main force was to march closely with the large army of the Qing army and launch an attack on the Qing army four hours later.

It was also because of such an order that the march of the large army commanded by Ren Hang changed, that is, those who closely followed the ass of the Qing army, only one battalion was dispatched, and the other troops could walk leisurely in a slow and recuperating manner. A battalion clinging to the buttocks of the Qing army not only has the meaning of monitoring the Qing army, but also has the task of capturing the fallen Qing soldiers.

Falling behind on the march is a problem that no army, including the god-level army of the original time and space, can avoid. There are hundreds of people, and there are thousands of people marching, not to mention tens of thousands of troops marching, there are always people who fall behind due to physical reasons, reasons for twisting their feet, and reasons for eating bad stomachs.

The Mengshan Army's almost fanfare tracking and tailgating naturally could not escape the eyes and ears of the Qing army.

"Report to the general, there are Mengshan bandits following us." Gan Jun's scouts quickly sent the information to Dong Fuxiang.

"How many people, how far apart?" Dong Fuxiang asked. These two questions show that Dong Fuxiang is also a soldier.

"About five or six hundred people, about a mile away from the ranks behind our army." The Detective said.

"Keep a close watch and leave him alone!" Dong Fuxiang thought about it, a battalion of Mengshan Army, Gan Army does not need to be afraid at all. However, Dong Fuxiang still asked people to report the situation to Nie Shicheng, although he was not worried about anything, but what if Nie Dashuai had other ideas? For example, ask Gan Jun to eat this group of bandits? Although Dong Fuxiang didn't have the heart to do much for himself, if there was an order from the peak, Dong Fuxiang didn't care about stopping and eating these hundreds of bandits before leaving.

"Order: Guard Ganjun will defeat the enemy with the tail!" In less than half an hour, Nie Shicheng's warrant came back, along with the warrant, as well as a letter from Nie Shicheng: "Brother Xingwuxian, this time our army is fighting against the Mengyin giant bandits, and we have no experience in frontal field combat. In addition, I suspect that the Mengyin Giant Bandits may have other plans to follow our army closely, and your troops may suddenly turn back and attack, and they can also disrupt the enemy's deployment! ”
