"A thousand? A thousand? A thousand? Zhang Renfu read it three times in a row, but he still didn't think through the truth, for Mao 1,000 people, he dared to grab food from the mouths of 10,000 people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The most amazing thing is that the grain and grass at the mill where it is stacked is not tens of thousands of catties, but millions of catties, and any thousand people or a thousand mules and horses can be easily transported away in just half an hour?

"General, what should I do?" The adjutant asked.

"What to do? What can we do now? Calm the soldiers first, and wait until dawn. Zhang Renfu really wanted to send a telegram to Nie Dashuai to explain the looting of grain and grass, but his army did not have a telegraph, and the telegram he had revealed before was sent by Zhang Qiu by a 500-mile fast horse.

This is also the reason for the low combat efficiency of the Qing army at this time, at this time of the night, only to stick to the camp, not even dare to walk at night, completely beaten.

Not to mention the trouble encountered by Zhang Renfu, only to say that after Xu Lie and his party withdrew from Maoya Town, he arranged for two companies to slowly drive a thousand mules and horses back to Yanghe, while he himself took the remaining four companies to make a rapid march again, and rushed back to the Yanghe front line at ten o'clock in the morning the next day.

At this time, there was still about a day before Nie Shicheng ran out of food.

And after Xu Lie robbed the Qing army of grain and grass again, Nie Shicheng had to wait at least seven days to get food, and if he wanted to get ammunition supplies, it would take at least half a month.

Xu Lie decided to wait another day, wait until Nie Shicheng ran out of food, and then attack the Qing army. At that time, the enemy's morale will be lost, and I can take as many prisoners as I can.

However, Xu Lie was willing to wait, but Nie Shicheng would not sit still.

After two days of trial and thinking after losing food, Xu Lie found that the Mengyin bandits were not in a hurry to annihilate them at all, but mainly aimed at blocking or trapping them, thinking that the battle situation in Qinghuo Gorge was not going well, Nie Shicheng immediately decided to turn to the east and move in the direction of Linqu, as long as they arrived in Linqu, the whole army of 40,000 people would be able to get food and other supplies, and then mobilize ammunition from other places, but after turning in this direction, it would take at least a hundred miles to reach Mengyin.

However, compared with the life and death of the whole army, walking more than 100 miles is nothing.

"Order: The new army is the vanguard, the Wu Yi army is the middle army, and the Gan army is the rearguard, immediately set off to Linqu!" When Xu Lie had just returned to Yanghe with the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion and the guard battalion, Nie Shicheng made the decision to march the army.

"Report to the commander: Tens of thousands of Qing troops are heading east!" After a while, Xu Lie got the scout's report.

"What's going on?" When Xu Lie heard it, Mao, isn't this a cooked duck about to fly away?

When Du Ning and the others picked up the map and looked at it, everyone immediately understood that Nie Shicheng's move was really a stroke of genius! Ben came to Laiwu, and now he suddenly turned eastward, so that he immediately avoided the shortcomings of his lack of food, and Nie Shicheng obviously regarded the heavy supplies that might arrive this afternoon as unreachable, that is, Nie Shicheng did not pin his last chance on the grain and grass that might be robbed again.

"Commander, what should I do?" The enemy situation was clear, and everyone looked at Xu Lie again to make up his mind.

"Dunin, what do you say to do? In this way, the next battle will be jointly commanded by you, Ren Hang, and Hu Wenhui! In the face of the new situation, Xu Lie certainly had a way, but he felt that he had ideas everywhere, which seemed to be more detrimental to the growth of his subordinates, so he had an idea and kicked the ball back.

The three of them heard Xu Lie say this, and their expressions were different. Du Ning's face was embarrassed, meaning Commander, aren't you embarrassed for me? Ren Hang remained silent after hearing this, and kept studying the map, while Hu Wenhui looked a little eager to try.

"I'll give you a quarter of an hour to come up with a rough plan." Although no matter which way is taken, the time is very short, Xu Lie is still willing to take the time to let his subordinates practice and practice.

Because, Nie Shicheng's sudden change of method made Xu Lie suddenly feel that the number of troops is already quite a lot, and if he doesn't let go and let his subordinates learn to command, then it will be really difficult for his subordinates to grow up. For example, in the internal battle, they were not present, but Yuan Yong and Wang Ye still fought well, maybe their operations were more conservative, maybe they commanded the combat casualties may be greater, but for the growth of a force, these are nothing, only by learning the war from the war, can finally control the war, so as to finally win the war.

"Commander, we have two plans: one is to send light troops, forcibly march for a hundred miles, rush to Baiyangkou to block the Qing army, and then chase after the large army behind, consuming the physical strength of the Qing army, and finally when the Qing army arrives at Baiyangkou, its physical strength and supplies will definitely be exhausted; The second is that the whole army launched an attack directly behind the Qing army, using mortars to disperse the Qing army clusters, and then the infantry captured prisoners in squads and platoons, but this method is afraid that it is easy to provoke the Qing army to take advantage of the favorable terrain to resist. In less than a quarter of an hour, Dunin reported.

"Which solution did you decide to use?" Xu Lie asked.

"We're leaning towards the first." Du Ding said.

"The two programs are combined. send a light army to Baiyangkou to establish a blocking position; At the same time, the Qing army was chasing behind! This was Xu Lie's initial idea.

"Commander, if this is the case, if the enemy forces scatter and escape, it will be difficult for our army to capture all the prisoners!" Dunin voiced concern.

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the strategy of capturing prisoners that was formulated before is obviously incomplete, and it should change with the progress of the campaign. However, when encountering Yuan Shikai's new army, it is still necessary to capture as many prisoners as possible. ”

"Yes, Commander!" Seeing that Xu Lie basically adopted the plan discussed by himself and others, Du Ning and the two regiment leaders were still very excited.

As a result, the Mengshan army also divided its troops an hour after the Qing army left the camp. More than 600 soldiers of the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion, under the leadership of the battalion commander Huang Xinzhong, drove dozens of pack horses to take the path and quickly covered up Baiyangkou. The remaining two regiments, as well as more than 5,000 soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion and the guard battalion, hung tightly behind the buttocks of the Qing army and rushed towards Linqu.

Why doesn't Mao attack immediately? Because at this time, the Qing army had only eaten breakfast for a short time, and he still had strength. It would be much better to wait until midday, when you are hungry and unable to walk, to attack.

In fact, Xu Lie didn't expect that Nie Shicheng's escape made Xu Lie realize the tactics of "annihilating the enemy in motion", that is, movement warfare.

Although the theory of sports warfare, Xu Lie has learned. But Xu Lie didn't think deeply about this theory, let alone use it, he commanded a special operations detachment in the original time and space, and there were only more than 100 people, how could it be talked about sports warfare.

As soon as he entered the state of sports warfare, Xu Lie knew how effective the training methods he had insisted on in the Mengshan Army before, and it was also this sports pursuit that made the Mengshan Army more conscious of the training methods such as weight-bearing cross-country training.
