"These dog thieves!" Looking at the village full of wolves and smoke that had not been extinguished, Luo Jiuhe couldn't help but scold: "How dare you say that the emperor enforces the law for the heavens!" ”

When they came to Tongcheng, they took the mountain road to copy the trail, so they missed it with Huang Wending, but this time they followed the trail, and they saw that they had done a good thing.

Ye Wuya ignored Luo Jiuhe's scolding, he touched the ashes, looked at the corpses of the villagers on the ground, and then trotted to Yu Guozhen.

"The number of thieves is between 1,000 and 2,000, and the time of departure is about two hours."

Yu Guozhen was a soldier in another life, and he was no stranger to reconnaissance, and he also passed on all his experience of reconnaissance to the young guards, among which the second pillar of high school learned the best, followed by Ye Wuya. If he wasn't good at this, Ye Wuya wouldn't have been able to defeat Luo Jiuhe many times in cleaning the battlefield, and the only time he lost was in Tongcheng.

"Anything else?"

"The thieves have no military discipline, but their morale is still high, and after this rest, their strength has been restored."

Yu Guozhen nodded, in Tongcheng, Zhang Ru and Wang Guohua were naturally killed on the spot, so as not to tell the whereabouts of the 120,000 taels of silver, but the rest of the thieves still caught a few. Judging from the results of the interrogation, Huang Wending is different from Zhang Ru and Wang Guohua, both in terms of courage and resourcefulness, he is far better than those two straw bales. Moreover, Huang Wending has more than 100 real thieves around him, all of whom have been trained for about half a year, although the training of thieves is a bit ridiculous, but it is much more difficult to deal with than the chaotic people who came to coerce.

Victory, Yu Guozhen has absolute confidence in this, all he hopes is to win, not only to kill Huang Wending, the thief, but also to reduce his own casualties as much as possible. Like yesterday's raid on Tongcheng, only three people were killed and only six were wounded, adding up to a gang that lost its combat effectiveness, but it broke more than 3,000 thieves and rebels, and killed the thieves Zhang Ru and Wang Guohua, and the ratio of enemy and friend losses was nearly 1 to 15, which was a big victory.

"Rest here for a quarter of an hour." Yu Guozhen ordered.

They were only two hours away from each other, and at the speed of the thieves' march, in two hours, they would go twenty miles at most. In other words, it is possible for both sides to encounter each other at any time, so it is necessary to save up enough energy.

"Jiuhe, Wuya, Lao Niu, come here."

During the break, Yu Guozhen called the three together, and in addition to them, there were also model men in the teaching team, all of whom had experienced several battles and performed well.

"What are the orders of the petty officer?" Luo Jiuhe asked.

Yu Guozhen grabbed a stick and drew a circle on the ground: "We are here now." ”

Then, he took a few steps to the side and drew another circle: "This is Xiang'an." ”

Between the two circles, he drew several circles in succession according to his memory: "Here is Shenggang, here is Jiangwan, Phoenix Mountain, Quantang, and ...... Turn"

After finishing the painting, he looked up at the crowd: "Where do you think it is best to attack the thief?" ”

Only then did everyone understand what he meant, Luo Jiuhe and Ye Wuya glanced at each other, did not speak, but Qi Niu, who had never been silent, hummed and said: "Where the little official said to fight, then where to fight!" ”

Yu Guozhen laughed, raised his foot and kicked him: "I have a lot of things to do, and I may not be free to fight every time in the future, if you can't learn to use your brains, do you want me to go out in person every time?" ”

"Huh?" Only then did the crowd come to their senses.

"Also, the petty officials are around, and the old cow is not enjoyable." Qi Niu thought about it, and felt that it might be better for Yu Guozhen not to be on the battlefield, at least he didn't have to follow him to protect him, but to go to the front to kill.

"How about Phoenix Mountain, in the villain's opinion, we are much faster than the thieves, and we can go around to the Phoenix to ambush the thieves. Although the mountain terrain of Phoenix Mountain is not dangerous, there are several suitable places for ambushes. Ye Wuya said.

"Ambush? Since Huang Wending is cunning, how can he be careless when passing through Phoenix Mountain, we don't have bows and arrows, and there are only a few dozen birds, relying on hand-to-hand combat to ambush, it is better to attack at night. Luo Jiuhe shook his head in disagreement.

"In Tongcheng, dozens of bird guns were seized, but such rotten goods, you dare to use them?" Ye Wuya said dissatisfiedly: "According to your intentions, Huang Wending will prevent ambushes, but will not prevent night attacks?" ”

The two quarreled a few words, but Yu Guozhen did not stop it, this kind of simple tactical argument is a good thing in his opinion.

"Ambush can't work, night attack can't work, so what should we do, fight head-on?"

"Naturally, it's even worse, the petty officials have long said that the number of our guards is small, and each of them is noble, worthy of ten hundred enemies. We must preserve ourselves to the greatest extent and kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent. ”

"Can you pass the news of Tongcheng to the thieves and mess with their army?"

"This plan is very good, the thieves were originally a rabble, and their backbone is one or two hundred people, after learning about Tongcheng, even if these backbones do not waver, the Quartet scoundrels they have recruited will be shaken and scattered, even if they are reluctant to fight, the slightest discord will inevitably collapse!"

"I think we can do more and send people to inform the villages and towns in all directions, if the people of all villages and towns gather to guard the roads, although they can't break the enemy, they can always capture and kill the thieves who have been defeated and frightened."

As the discussion deepened, more and more teenagers joined in, and gradually reached a consensus that how to lay out and how to design it was all appropriate. But on the question of whether it was the Phoenix Mountain or Quantang attack, the two sides quarreled again.

In the end, both of them looked at Yu Guozhen and waited for Yu Guozhen's decision.

Yu Guozhen didn't rush to say anything, he turned to Qi Niu, who had not spoken: "Old Niu, you have been holding it for a long time, even if it is a baby, you should hold it out, right?" ”

Everyone laughed, they were a little nervous when they were facing a big battle, but Yu Guozhen's words made them feel that the petty officials were all in their chests, and even used the command of this battle to train Luo Jiuhe, Ye Wuya and others, obviously because they felt that this battle was not difficult.

"Petty officials...... Lao Niu remembered that the little official said that there are two things to do when attacking thieves, one is to disperse the thieves as much as possible, and the other is to gather himself as much as possible, concentrate his own strength, and attack the scattered enemy, which is the way to win. In that case, why don't you notify Brother Dazhu, who stayed in the other courtyard, and ask him to bring someone to join us and attack the thieves back and forth? ”

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the people around him looked at Qi Niu.

This is not a strange scheme, but Qi Niu is probably the most silly of all, but this is the most silly one who thinks of the problem that everyone ignores!

"What's wrong...... Am I wrong? Qi Niu scratched his head and looked at the silent people.

"Pretend, you can pretend!" Ye Wuya hated the authentic way.

Luo Jiuhe also nodded: "Now I finally understand, why does the little official say that he is wise and foolish...... He had already thought about it, and he would make up for it when we finished speaking, so that he would be smart! ”

Yu Guozhen laughed, at this time, these teenagers' minds are still very simple, although there is jealousy and competition between each other, but they are all kind, maybe in the future, as they grow older, they will gradually drift apart.

But as long as we can unite in the big picture.

"Since everyone thinks that Lao Niu has replenished well, then it is decided, Lao Niu, you send someone to take a detour to Xiang'an to inform Dazhu and let him prepare." Yu Guozhen said: "As for the battlefield, I decided to set it here!" ”

He pressed his foot a little harder on a circle on the ground, and everyone looked at the place with a look of surprise on their faces.

"Why here?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

More are lost in thought.

As night fell, Huang Wending felt even more uneasy in his heart, he squinted and looked ahead, his brows locked into the word "Sichuan".

At this time, he was somewhat annoyed in his heart: after all, he had no experience in actually leading troops into battle, and he expected that the enemy had made mistakes.

The biggest mistake was to overestimate the marching speed of his rabble, originally according to his plan, he should have arrived in Xiang'an yesterday, but until now, it is still more than ten miles away from Xiang'an!

Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Huang Wending stretched out his hand to greet a cronie: "Lao Liang, you take two people to the front to see if there is any change in the left and right villages, remember, Hugh must bring weapons, no matter what news you find, come back to report to me immediately." ”

"Yes...... But Brother Wending, you are too cautious. The cronie answered, and laughed.

"Go, go!" Huang Wending now has the heart to kill people.

"Brother Wending, we really don't need to be so cautious, we now have 1,000 people, but that Yu Youhu only has about 300 people, we have no intentions, but he is unprepared." Another cronie said on the side: "Besides, Brother Wending is resourceful, now if we wait for the sky to attack each other at night, we will win, and we will definitely kill Yu Youhu into a sick cat!" ”

"Yes, yes, he was originally a sick cat, and he has never met a hero like Brother Wending, so he became famous. From the beginning, I felt that this guy had no ability, and there were only 300 people in his hands, so Brother Wending didn't need to pay so much attention to it. ”

Hearing the sound of relief around him, Huang Wending smiled bitterly.

What he was worried about was indeed not the 300 people under Yu Guozhen, but the organization and command skills that Yu Guozhen had demonstrated. At this time, as long as Yu Guozhen has a little brain, ascends to the heights, and plays the banner of "protecting the territory and the people", there will be countless people and strong people to obey him, after all, he has the name of righteousness and the support of the government!

Don't look at them in Tongcheng overnight, they have pulled up a team of more than 4,000 people, but as long as Yu Guozhen is willing, it is not easy to pull out tens of thousands of people west of Nanjing!

As for the tens of thousands of people who may be just a rabble, Huang Wending can't laugh at all: Aren't his subordinates also a rabble?

By plundering the two Zhuangzi, they arrived here with high morale, and only after breaking through the two Zhuangzi without danger and without walls, they became arrogant and arrogant one by one!

Such a subordinate, he alone, has the ability to reach the sky, how far can he go?

"Let's do this first, as long as Yu Guozhen is defeated, no one around will dare to gather flags to fight against me, that is, I will be ruthless and rectify, and pull out an old battalion that can fight and fight......" He thought to himself.

When night finally fell completely, their team was less than ten miles away from Xiang'an, and at this time, Lao Liang, whom he had sent out, finally ran back.
