Although the official army still despised the Han army, which was no more than 5,000 people, the Han army was very serious about the 20,000 officers and troops.

After discussing for a long time, synthesizing more information, and considering various consequences, the General Staff of the Han Army finally decided to set Tan Hui as the first target of the solution.

The reasons are, first, that Tan Harmonic is now the closest to Dongxiang County, and because Tan Harmoni's headquarters are all cavalry, the marching speed is too fast and has opened a large distance from other officers and soldiers, so it is convenient to calmly block the officers and soldiers from coming to help when ambushing Tan Harmony; The second is that the narrow terrain of Tanjialing, which Tan Huan's department must pass, is not conducive to the cavalry breaking through and annihilating the only cavalry of the official army, which can also greatly defeat the edge of the official army.

It's just that the fly in the ointment is that Tanjialing is far away from Dongxiang County, and it takes two days to gallop on horseback. Moreover, Tan Huo's department is expected to reach Tanjialing in about two days, that is to say, if the Han army wants to ambush Tan Huo's department in Tanjialing, it must arrive within two days, which is impossible for the vast majority of infantry, but for the Han army, it is just a long cross-country training.

"Since this is the case, then now order the first, second, fourth, and fifth standards of the first battalion, the first, third, fourth, and fifth standards of the second battalion, the first, fourth, and fifth standards of the third battalion, the fourth battalion, and the military police brigade directly under it, to quickly assemble in the county seat and reach Tanjialing within one day!

In addition, the third standard of the 1st Battalion defended Xiashan Pass to block Li Zhanchun's headquarters, and the enemy must be blocked for more than 10 days before retreating; Similarly, the second standard of the second battalion can block the enemy at Taiping Pass in Taiping County for more than ten days, and the second standard of the third battalion is stationed at Tieshan Pass, which is also ten days; The third battalion and the third standard are responsible for garrisoning the Hanjia Ordnance Institute and Hanjia Village, which is our rear military and grain and grass supply base. In short, it is necessary to completely annihilate Tan Huan's department within three days, annihilate Li Zhanchun's department in a roundabout way within five days, and defeat Zeng Ying and Zhao Ronggui within two days! ”

After Yang Ming gave the order, he waved his hand: "Let's go down and execute, time waits for no one, our time is only ten days!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone immediately left the county government and went to their respective stations.

On this day, the sky was gloomy, as if hearing that the imperial army was coming, the main streets of Dongxiang County were much deserted, except for the personnel of the guard regiment who stepped up the transfer of materials and the soldiers of the Han Army who were rushing to Dongxiang County, there were basically no other pedestrians, and many shops and gentry houses were closed doors and windows.

Now as long as there is a war, whether it is the official army to suppress the thieves, or the thieves to attack the official army, it is the common people who suffer, so the people have also learned to be obedient, once they know that there is no need for Yang Ming's persuasion to break out into war, they will consciously begin to clear the wilderness and hide.

What's more, tens of thousands of officers and troops will come this time, although the people of Dongxiang County have accepted the rule of the Han army and are unwilling to continue to be ruled by the tyrannical court, but they don't quite believe that only a few thousand Han soldiers can repel tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, so they are even more panicked, worried that the Han army will not win and whether the officials and troops will retaliate if they win.

Of course, there are also some people who have always been loyal to the imperial court, who are even more impatient, secretly looking forward to the arrival of the imperial court.

Yang Ming knew that this time the official army came to suppress himself brought a lot of pressure, not only military pressure, but also moral pressure, the gentry of Dongxiang County, who had been instilled by orthodox ideology for a long time, had an instinctive sense of obedience to the officials and soldiers of the imperial court from beginning to end, although he had enveloped most of the people of Dongxiang County, but in the face of these pressures, all this seemed to have an unstable foundation, and it was very easy to escape into the abyss in an instant.

Yang Ming must win now, and he can't afford to lose, only one victory after another can convince the people of Dongxiang County of the ruling power of his Han army, and only one victory after another can deter some restless people. If Yang Ming loses, then there will be no place for him, and no one will sympathize with him, because his Han army is not a recognized military regime in this era.

And Tan Jialing is his first battle against the first encirclement and suppression of the official army, so he must win and win!

Yang Ming looked at the more than 4,000 Han soldiers who had been assembled on the school field very seriously, like Yang Ming, these Han soldiers were also serious and abnormal, and they all knew that this time they would face 20,000 officers and soldiers, not Yu Dahai's 2,000 officers and soldiers. For most of the recruits who are still fighting for the second time, they are still more or less nervous or excited, and vaguely worried, but fortunately, the casualties of the Han army are generous, and these people did not become deserters, and the victory of the last siege and annihilation of Yu Dahai also gave them some confidence.

"I know that your brothers are very worried now, worried that they won't be able to defeat 20,000 court officers and soldiers, but I want to ask, is 20,000 court officers and soldiers really a lot? Spread it evenly, isn't it just a matter of fighting four, everyone has fought with the officers and soldiers, don't you know how many catties and taels those officers and soldiers have, not to mention four, that is, ten, twenty, each of our Hanjia battalion soldiers can also level him, do you say! ”

"Yes!" Although these recruits of the Han army didn't know the difference between fighting and fighting in groups, they also felt that this was the case when they heard Yang Ming say this, isn't it just a fight of four, Lao Tzu had singled out six or seven officers and soldiers. In an instant, many soldiers of the Han family battalion also gained a lot of confidence and hurriedly echoed loudly.

Yang Ming then said: "Moreover, there are 20,000 officers and soldiers in the imperial court, and we have more than 5,000 soldiers, we also have thousands of brothers in the guard regiment, as well as hundreds of thousands of children in the county, as long as we send weapons down, we can pull up an army of 100,000, do you say that we still need to be afraid of the officials and soldiers at that time, the reason why I didn't do it now is because the official feels that there is no need for it, just 20,000 timid officers and soldiers, just with our 5,000 Han family soldiers can completely eliminate them, there is no need to make a big move, do you say!" ”

"Yes!" Yang Ming's brief pre-war mobilization greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Han Army, and they swept away the initial anxiety and clamored to teach the officers and soldiers a lesson, so that they could taste the power of the officers and soldiers, Yang Ming was very satisfied with this, and only after the following quieted down did he say loudly: "Okay, now I will prepare for you for half an hour, and immediately march a hundred miles to Tanjialing after bringing enough dry food and other necessary materials!" ”

Half an hour later, the Han army set off on time, and because it was Yang Ming who personally led the team, these recruits and soldiers did not slack off at all, and their enthusiasm was also very high.

Tan Huan, who led 5,000 cavalry in the direction of Dongxiang County, never imagined that the Han army would come to Tanjialing to set up an ambush at this time. Because he didn't think that there would be an ambush in Tanjialing at all, not to mention that the Han army only had about 5,000 people, not only to defend the county seat but also to garrison everywhere outside the passes, there were not many troops to ambush him, just such a far mountain road, the Han army did not want to rush here in a day or two, even if his Han army was all riding horses, he couldn't do it, even if he relied on 5,000 soldiers to eat his own 5,000 fine horses?

"Lord Garrison, the last general feels that he should be careful, he doesn't have to rush to Dongxiang County to avoid being ambushed, especially in the area of Tanjialing, he should send more scouts to investigate", a thousand general persuaded Tan Hui to be blocked back by Tan Huan: "No need, we are a strange army, what we want is to take it by surprise and break through Dongxiang County with lightning speed, if you slow down the speed of the march but will not achieve the effect of the surprise attack, you will be ordered to go down, you don't have to rest, continue to hurry!" ”

Seeing this, everyone had to grit their teeth and continue to insist on galloping, while the soldiers of the Han army at this time were actively preparing in the area of Tanjialing, in order to tell these officers and soldiers what was really unexpected.

"Childe, listen, there is the sound of horses' hooves!"
