Chapter 203: Take the initiative to attack

This time is different from the past, in order to defeat the official army as soon as possible and leave enough time for the safe evacuation of the Red Turban Army, Wu Kai is determined to go out of the city to meet the enemy and fight the official army in the field!

Because he had long expected that the official army of Dongping Mansion might raid Zhujiazhuang, Wu Kai didn't know how many plans he had made these days, and after making up his mind at this time, the order was promulgated like a stream. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The generals were ordered to act, and after a while, the entire Zhujiazhuang was boiling.

In the end, only Wu Kai, Wu Song, and Hu Sanniang were left in the hall, and seeing that his brother was still frowning, Wu Erlang smiled indifferently: "Brother, it's just a group of thieves with an army, do you think they can resist the power of firearms?" ”

"Hey~"

Wu Kai sighed and said depressedly: "I'm worried about our future in the future - if I can, I don't want to have a conflict with the officers and soldiers now!" Now that hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered in Hebei, if we make a big fuss in Shandong, it will be much more convenient for the imperial court to transfer troops from Hebei than to send troops to the south. ”

"What are you sending troops to the south?"

Wu Erlang was a little silent when he heard this, but he didn't dwell on this problem, but said nonchalantly: "If you transfer troops, you will transfer troops, it's a big deal, let's kill one by one, and kill a pair of pairs!" ”

For his kind of rhetoric, Wu Kai can only 'hehe', most of the strength of the Red Turban Army is now based on firearms, and firearms are much more dependent on logistics than cold weapons.

Once surrounded and suppressed by the officials and soldiers, the gunpowder cannot be replenished in time, and the big lifting rod and tiger squat cannon are not much stronger than the burning stick!

Special mother's!

How did you catch up with this battle of Liao?!

Otherwise, the hundreds of officers and soldiers in Dongping Mansion alone would not dare to fight their own ideas, and when they annexed Liangshan and created a group of elite naval troops and merchant ships, even if they were surrounded and suppressed by the army, they would not have to worry about supply.

But it's useless to think about these things now, so let's look at the present!

Let Hu Sanniang call Pang Chunmei to the front hall, Wu Kai hurried and explained: "When the army leaves the city, I will leave Cao Yang and Song Xiong in the city, and then you will let them gather everything that can be taken away - if you can't take it away and don't want to leave it to others, you will burn it directly!" ”

Pang Chunmei is the only one of the few insiders in this house, and naturally knows that the situation is urgent and cannot be delayed, so she nodded busily, but turned her face and hesitated, and said: "Master, where is Madame, but I am a little uncomfortable these days, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to move, otherwise it will alarm the fetal gas......"

Wu Kai frowned and groaned for a while, but he could only say helplessly: "Try to spread a few more layers of mattresses in the carriage, in this situation, Zhujiazhuang really can't wait!" ”

In the current situation, I can only take care of the adults first.

――Dividing Line――

But said that more than an hour later, two thousand red turban troops came out of Zhujiazhuang, all of them were gearing up and excited, obviously not knowing that this time they were not facing thieves, but the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

Wu Kai sat in a carriage in the center, Hu Sanniang and Yuan Lang were guarding on the left and right, Wu Song and Shi Qian led the cavalry, Lin Dengwan and Ma Lin pressed the infantry army, and Ou Peng, Bao Xu, and Jiao Zhen ran with the four fields of the horse camp!

Although he fought several battles, but he was so magnificent, Wu Kai was still the first time to experience it, seeing the front and back swords and guns like a forest, the people on the left and right neighing and screaming, and a pride was also rushing into the sky, and the sorrow in his stomach was temporarily suppressed, just thinking about commanding the tiger and wolf, and leveling the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers.

"Report!"

I was really thinking about something, and as soon as I walked less than ten miles out of the city, I heard the report of the horse, saying that on the hillside five miles away in front of the left, a group of cavalry had been found, the number was about five hundred, and it seemed that they were officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

Wu Kai gave an order, and the team slowly stopped.

He also instructed the coachman to drive the car to the dirt slope next to him, stood on the wheel of the car and overlooked the crowd, and said loudly: "Soldiers, the day before yesterday, I got the news by chance, that Liangshan Song Jiang was unwilling to sit still, and actually contacted several gangs of thieves, a total of nearly 10,000 people, all dressed as court officers and soldiers, to sneak attack our Zhujiazhuang!" ”

This is the strategy that Wu Kai came up with early on.

The bandits and wanted leaders around him are also okay, but many soldiers are quite in awe of the imperial court, if it is true that the official army is coming, the Red Turban Army, which has only been in the army for a few months, is afraid that the army will be unstable.

But if it is said that thieves pretend to be officers and soldiers, it will not be so much of a deterrent.

First, the Red Turban Army easily defeated the sneak attack of nearly 4,000 men and horses in Liangshan, and its own losses were few, but now that its strength has increased greatly, it will not be afraid of nearly 10,000 thieves.

Second, there is a precedent for Sun Li pretending to be an officer and soldier in Dengzhou, and all the officers and men will have preconceived ideas and will believe it -- although there will still be a few smart people who will notice the abnormality, it will not cause much turmoil.

And once the officers and soldiers are defeated head-on, the Red Turban Army will completely break with the imperial court, and it will not be possible to fall into the grass.

Of course, this strategy is not only beneficial, when it is later discovered that the enemy is really an official army, and he has to be forced to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, I am afraid that many people will have resentment - but now under such urgency, Wu Kai can't care about this.

Let's not talk about it later.

But he said that after listening to Wu Kai's words at this time, there was a sudden shouting and scolding around him, and the 'thief' was scolded to the end, and many people shouted that they wanted to teach the cunning thieves a bloody lesson.

Seeing that the army's heart was available, Wu Kai immediately said loudly again: "Now there are five hundred horses in front of him, which is the vanguard of the thief!" Thieves like to bully more and less, but our Red Turban Army disdains it - Lin Dengwan, you immediately select 500 infantry troops to destroy those thieves for me! ”

The arrogance he said was actually to put it bluntly, but he was afraid that leading a large army over would scare away the horse team of the officers and soldiers -- a single horse team was nothing in the face of firearms, but if the horse team suddenly attacked from the flank and rear when the war was in full swing, it would be a big trouble.

Therefore, Wu Kai wanted to use the same number of infantry to lure the enemy to attack, even if he couldn't be completely annihilated, at least he had to fight the other party first, and he would be terrified!

Seeing that Wu Kai was so proud, he didn't take those thieves who pretended to be officers and soldiers in his eyes at all, and the morale of the Red Turban Army rose a lot, and they rolled up their sleeves one by one, for fear that Lin Dengwan would not choose him.

Lin Dengwan knew that this battle was the most crucial, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and first selected the elite of the 300 firearms battalion, and then selected the 'veterans' of the 200 sword and shield battalions, and then went straight to the officers and soldiers in front of the left!

Wu Kai saw that he only chose soldiers, but he did not choose a few fierce generals to suppress the formation, so he hurriedly asked Yuan Lang on the side to chase after him, and was specifically responsible for guarding Lin Dengwan's side, so as not to have any accidents in the chaotic army.
