The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, although Wang Teng made up his mind to take the initiative to attack, but the grain and straw accompanying the army were not missing at all.

According to the calculation of 1,600 catties per day for 800 soldiers, Wang Teng had to bring at least ten days of grain for this attack, and for ten days, this is 1,600 catties, which is 10,000 catties, and when converted into stones, it is one hundred and five stones.

There is a backlog of grain in Lingqiu County, but the transfer of this batch of grain requires the consent of the Lingqiu County Order.

The fighter plane was fleeting, and Wang Teng hurriedly visited Lingqiu County.

After roughly telling the reason, the county commander Jiang Bingzhi was surprised, "Send troops to fight the bandits? Ulju is safe and sound, where did the bandits come from? ”

Wang Teng was anxious, but he could only patiently explain, "I have received definite news that a group of 3,000 rogues is coming from Taiyuan Mansion."

Jiang Bingzhi frowned, "Didn't Wang Shoubei hear it wrong?" Lingqiu and Taiyuan Mansion are separated by Taihang Mountain, can Liukou come over the mountains and mountains? ”

The eyes and ears of various places were built by Wang Teng at a great cost, and the news they reported would never be wrong, and Wang Teng had strong confidence in this, "Lord Jiang, the news of Taiyuan Mansion will not be wrong, there is really a group of rogues coming across the border."

Wang Teng's words were conclusive, Jiang Bingzhi no longer dared to ignore it, after all, Wang Teng had brilliant results, such a character has a great future, there is really no need to lie, but why did the Liukou from Taiyuan come to Ulzhou?

Jiang Bingzhi asked the doubts in his heart.

Wang Teng had already prepared, "Lingqiu produces iron, and more than 10,000 displaced people have been settled, maybe in the hearts of the Liukou, Lingqiu is relatively rich, they are desperate, not for food?" ”

Jiang Bingzhi was a little convinced, "Okay, Wang Shoubei is good at military affairs, I won't be wrong if I think about it, I won't be a villain, how much grain do you want to call this time?" ”

Wang Teng stretched out a finger.

Jiang Bingzhi was puzzled: "Ten stones? ”

Wang Teng shook his head, "One hundred stones!" ”

Jiang Bingzhi took a breath of cold air, but still agreed, "Okay, a hundred stones is a hundred stones, but if the Guangling Army leaves, how should the displaced people of this Lingqiu be settled?" ”

Wang Teng smiled slightly, "Lord Jiang is relieved, I have already sent two thousand young people from the camp camp to help them resist the enemy."

Jiang Bingzhi felt incredulous, "Can the homeless people believe it?" ”

"No one wants to be a lifelong homeless person, they also want to settle down, and this time is a good opportunity"

Jiang Bingzhi felt that there was some truth, "It's extraordinary to go into battle to kill the enemy, can these homeless people kill people?" ”

Wang Teng Zhengse said, "The families of the displaced people are here, I'm not afraid that they won't work hard!" ”

Good guy, this is the seven inches that hold the homeless, don't be afraid that they won't sell their lives!

Thinking of this, Jiang Bingzhi was faintly convinced, and only a character like Wang Teng could be regarded as a pearl, if it was him, most of them would not work, "By the way, the homeless people and the homeless are all from Taiyuan Mansion, will there be a connection between them?" ”

Wang Teng took a good time, "It's okay, I have already told all the homeless people the news of the attack of the rogues, and I can't hide it anyway."

Jiang Bingzhi felt that Wang Teng was crazy, "How can this be? What if the news of the army's attack leaks out? ”

Of course, Wang Teng will not do stupid things, "My lord is relieved, I have already passed down the order, the camp is allowed to enter and not leave in the past few days, as long as the camp is strictly guarded, even if there are spies in the camp, it will be difficult to spread the news."

Hearing that Wang Teng was so thoughtful, Jiang Bingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But I can't think about it!" ”

Wang Teng discussed the details with Jiang Bingzhi again, and then took his leave and left.

took Jiang Bingzhi's paperwork, and Wang Teng successfully took away the grain.

Things are going so smoothly, which is closely related to Wang Teng's preliminary work.

After Wang Teng seized Tie's iron factory, he would give a part of the profits to Jiang Bingzhi every month.

After going back and forth, Jiang Bingzhi was completely inseparable from Wang Teng, if it weren't for that, how could the other party risk angering Wei Yuan to allocate grain?

You must know that the grain of Lingqiu County is the ration of the displaced people, and after Wang Teng's allocation, there will inevitably be a shortage of the rations of the displaced people, and once it is not properly disposed of, Wang Teng's preliminary work may even be in vain.

10,000 displaced people!

Don't look at their honest work and receive food, who dares to guarantee that they will become jackals after they have no food to eat?

In fact, it was really helpless for Wang Teng to come and call for grain, and if there was a better choice, he would not be like this.

However, Wang Teng has already spent a lot of money to collect grain from all over the country, as long as he can survive the crisis, it is worth spending some more silver!

After transporting the grain to the army, Wang Teng, Huang Hu, Zhou Yuji, and Tong Cheng led the army out.

Eight hundred soldiers and three hundred auxiliaries, this is the power that Wang Teng has called.

When the army opened, there was no need to kill prisoners and sacrifice flags, and there was no need to boost morale, the soldiers were highly motivated, idle for several months, in addition to training or training every day, the soldiers had already panicked, this time they finally got the opportunity, they were a little gearing up, eager to try.

People die for money, birds die for food, in the rich reward inspired, Guangling soldiers are proud of killing the enemy, in their eyes, the vicious thieves are just money that can run and jump, as long as they cooperate properly, slaughter the thieves, two hundred big money will fall into the bag, such a reward, Wang Teng has never been in arrears.

The soldiers' desire to fight is growing, and the generals are even more anxious like ants on a hot pot.

He has not fought for a long time, whether it is Huang Hu or Zhou Yuji, he is a little eager to try, especially Huang Hu, all along, he stayed in Guangling, never got the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy, seeing Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji's soldiers and horses have made one merit after another, but the soldiers under his command can only stay in Guangling, not an inch of merit, although Wang Teng also gave a lot of rewards, but, meeting and chatting with other battalion generals, Huang Hu always felt inferior.

For ordinary soldiers, the other soldiers have already changed into new iron badges with great force, while they can only wear the lowest level of wooden badges, such a day is too tormenting. Many people are thinking about when they can change to a deck of iron cards.

How to exchange for iron medals and go into battle to kill the enemy!

Now, after waiting for several months, the opportunity has finally come, and the soldiers are looking forward to it.

The army left Lingqiu and headed south, and every other hour there would be a report from the visiting horses.

In order to discover the thief army in advance, Wang Teng expanded the range of the horse sentry to ten miles.

Approaching the Taihang Mountains, there were no people around, and the army marched for half an hour, but did not meet a single villager along the way.

Occasionally, I see an abandoned village, but it is empty.

The barren fields, the dilapidated houses, and the things that are discarded everywhere are shocking.

There is no doubt that the villagers here have either fled the desert or have been coerced into exiles.

In history, why did Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong suppress but not destroy?

Isn't it because of the despicable methods of the rogues?

Everywhere he went, he first seized the grain, then the goods, and finally forced the empty-handed people to go on the road together.

If they encounter officials and soldiers, the coerced villagers can be used as cannon fodder to delay the opponent's offensive.

The infamy of the rogues comes from this, but after all the thieves cross the border, they will be full of white bones, and ten rooms and nine empty rooms.

This kind of tragic situation has not been seen by the Guangling soldiers for a long time.

No one frolicked loudly, laughed, everyone didn't say a word, when they were in Guangling, they had gradually become accustomed to that kind of stable life, and even some commonplace, but now, after entering Beiloukou and witnessing the desolate and decadent scene again, the soldiers began to understand that the reason why they were able to live a peaceful life was not because of the mercy of the thieves, but because Wang Teng led them to fight in the north and south, killed the mud, and defeated the Jiannu, otherwise, maybe they would have been homeless!

Whether it is Guangling or Ulzhou, their peace is built on the corpse of the thief.

Similarly, if you can't kill the thieves this time and let the rogues pour into Lingqiu, then the home of the soldiers will immediately be another Beiloukou!

An inexplicable sense of crisis came to their hearts, and the soldiers subconsciously clenched their weapons, and they wanted to use the knives and guns in their hands to protect the peace of their homeland.

Zhou Yuji's eyes widened with anger, he had long heard that the rogues had exterminated humanity, and everywhere he went was like a plague of locusts, but when he witnessed such a scene, an unspeakable indignation still surged into his heart.

The villagers are innocent, why should they bear the pain of being separated from their wives and their homes shattered?

The husband should be a thief on the battlefield, so that the radiant life can live up to this martial arts!

There are 300 cavalry troops under Zhou Yuji's command, of which 200 are Chahar people, and on horseback, they are natural warriors, which is why Zhou Yuji is ashamed of himself.

This time in battle, it was also the first time that the Chahar people fought for the Ming Dynasty.

The march was dozens of miles a day, and when it was getting late and the sun was setting, the army chose a place near the water to set up.

Although it was a temporary camp, and the thieves were dozens of miles away, Wang Teng did not dare to be careless.

Wang Teng had done many night attacks on the enemy camp, and he didn't want to encounter the same situation.

Ma Wu of the baggage battalion rushed around inside and outside the barracks, and he kept shouting and shouting, this new battalion commander was in charge of logistics, and he had a hundred stone of grain in his hands, and he could not afford to lose.

Wang Teng's big tent was in the middle, with Zhou Yuji's military camp on the left, Tong Cheng's soldiers and horses on the right, and the baggage battalion stationed in the rear army, which was relatively least vulnerable to enemy attacks.

After more than half an hour of labor, a simple military camp was erected.

Wang Teng personally inspected it and was very satisfied.

The periphery is a simple antlers and trench, and the inner side is the wooden cart and plank of the baggage battalion, with a post in five steps and a sentry in ten steps.

Be careful, Wang Teng doesn't want to be defeated because of any mistake.

The dignified Ulzhou garrison, if it is defeated in the hands of an unknown surname, I am afraid that it will laugh off its big teeth.

We must plan well, and there must be no mistakes.

After dinner, Wang Teng summoned the commanders of the four battalions, including Ma Wu, and began to deploy the next battle plan.

Where the thieves go, where they fight the thieves, whether to set up an ambush, or to fight head-on, all need to be planned in advance.

In a war, the battle may only take a few hours, but his preparation and planning time may be long.

After the number of people arrived, Wang Teng got straight to the point and said, "I plan to set up an ambush on the south bank of the Hunyuan River thirty miles away to kill the thieves, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Halfway through, this is a matter decided by Wang Teng and Zhou Yuji after discussion, and the reason why he asked the battalion officer for advice again was to check and fill in the gaps to see if there were any negligence.

Huang Hu went to cross the Jufu River, where the river was turbulent, and there were few places for the army to cross the river, as long as the movement of the thief army was determined in advance, and an ambush was set up to kill, it was undoubtedly an excellent combat plan.

"As far as I know, the thief is greedy for money and lustful, and if you want to deal with him, you have to take the right medicine!"

Wang Teng's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Huang Hu to have an amazing remark, "Oh? How to prescribe the right medicine? ”

"It can make people disguise themselves as big families and caravanserais, and the thieves will definitely chase after them when they hear about it, and when the time comes, he will be the fish on the chopping board, let me take care of it."

Wang Teng was overjoyed, "Haha, good, good plan, it's so decided, what do you think?" ”

Everyone clasped their fists and said, "We have no objection."

Wang Teng took the case, "Well, tomorrow Zhou Yuji will pretend to be a big family, escort 300 people, 20 carriages and horses, once the thieves are found, you can appropriately discard some carriages and horses to lure the thieves to take the bait."

"Whoa!"

"Yellow Tiger"

"In"

"You led your headquarters to ambush on the south bank of the Hunyuan River!"

"Whoa!"

"Ma Wu"

"In"

"You lead the heavy battalion to press the formation, and you can't attack on your own without my order."

"Whoa!"

"Okay, let's all disperse, tomorrow is another big battle"

"Oh, I'll say goodbye!"

The carts and horses were ready-made, and the grain carts in the baggage camp could be used as bait.

That night, the report came that the Liukou had set up camp thirty miles away.

Wang Teng breathed a sigh of relief, the Liukou were not officials and soldiers after all, they had no intention of crossing at night, so as long as they acted according to the plan tomorrow, it would be difficult for the Liukou to think of a plan.

Early the next morning, the army set off, and Zhou Yuji led 300 men and horses to escort 20 carts to the north.

In order to hide people's eyes, the soldiers put on ordinary people's clothes over their armor and disguised themselves as guards.

The size of the three hundred guards is just right, so that they will not scare away the thieves because they are too many, and they will not arouse the suspicion of the thieves because they are too few.

Taiyuan Mansion and Datong Mansion are close to the border gates, and it is most normal for there to be hundreds of guards in the caravan.

The imperial court declined, the local wealthy families rose together, and a few caravans that licked blood at the head of knives all the year round ventured through the state capital, but it did not seem abrupt.

Three hours later, the convoy reached the south of the Hunyuan River, where the army lurked on either side of a valley, according to the map markings.

In addition to the 300 guards who were used as bait, Wang Teng divided his men and horses into two parts, one led by Tong Cheng and ambushed in the valley with Wang Teng, and the other led by Huang Hu, whose mission was to copy the back road of the thief army.
