Chapter 160: Tail

Qingcheng, the fragile defenders are like a thin window paper, stabbed lightly by the army of the mountain wind, it broke a big hole, the Qingcheng defenders who were ashamed to go out of the city to suppress the bandits ran to the mouse, and returned in embarrassment, the mountain wind was not in a hurry to kill, just like a sheep to drive the scattered Fuzhou army to Qingcheng, the county order of Qingcheng hesitated slightly, the cavalry of the mountain wind blew over like a gust of wind, seized the city gate, Qingcheng was broken, this is the third city since January, the mountain wind broke the third city, The whole of Fuzhou was stunned by this powerful army of salt workers. Xiang Xianhe, who was originally unimpressed, finally realized the seriousness of the problem, if this chaotic army is allowed to flow in Fuzhou, then Fuzhou will fall into a place of no return. He had to send his elite troops to start looking for this force for a decisive battle.

Xiang Hui led 3,000 people into Hailing, waiting for an opportunity to attack the salt field of the rebel army's old nest, where most of the rebel army was the nest, their families were there, if they could take the bay, the other party's army would inevitably be in chaos, and Xiang Hui led the only cavalry battalion of the Fuzhou army, closely following the pace of the rebel army, trying to fight a decisive battle with it.

"Big boss!" Wei Dewu hurriedly ran into the Qingcheng County Office, where was the mountain wind staying, and his subordinates had already moved all the silver in the Qingcheng County official treasury, and boxes of them were stacked in the county government hall. Wei Dewu fought bravely, and he was also smart, he adapted to the training method founded by Li Qing very quickly, and soon stood out from many salt workers, and is now a general under the mountain wind, commanding thousands of foot soldiers.

"What's the matter?" The mountain wind is abusing the fat county order.

"The spies came to report that Fuzhou Xiangfeng's cavalry is less than two hundred miles away from us, and it is only a day's journey, should we fight with him, or run again?" Wei Dewu asked.

The mountain wind smiled, Wei Dewu is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, I don't know that the foot soldiers have to confront the cavalry, one is to have good armor, the other is to be disciplined, and the third is to strike effectively from a distance, that is really to have the consciousness of the foot soldiers who are not afraid of death and dare to die, the mountain wind does not feel that now this group of soldiers who have just been organized by the salt workers and homeless people, and the soldiers who have been trained for more than a month can maintain their tenacious will and combat ability under the strong impact of the cavalry, if they want them to resist the impact of the winning cavalry, they have to lead more than 1,000 cavalry to hedge against the enemy, Break up the opponent's formation first and then let the infantry rush up to fight with him, but in this way, his precious cavalry will have to lose a lot, and now it is just the early stage of disrupting Fuzhou, and he doesn't want to have too many casualties.

"Withdraw, let's return to Wankou, I just received information that a battalion of troops from Fuzhou Xianghui Department is plotting to attack Wankou, let's rush back and fight their infantry." Wind tunnels over the hills.

"Yes, big boss!" Wei Dewu answered the order loudly, Wankou is his old nest, where everyone's families are concentrated, although there are more than a thousand soldiers left there, but against a battalion of Fuzhou army, there is no chance of victory.

"Have you finished raiding the homes of the rich people in Qingcheng?" Ecstasy asked.

Wei Dewu showed an excited look on his face, "The big boss, it's almost over, these dogs are having money in their families, and this time we have made a lot of money!" ”

Guo Shanfeng smiled: "Of course these bastards are rich, but after collecting a lifetime of money, aren't they cheap for us now?" By the way, did our soldiers disturb their female dependents, and did they disturb the ordinary people in Qingcheng? ”

Wei Dewu hurriedly said: "No, no, the big boss, how can this be, the last time you beheaded several soldiers who violated the ban in Fangcheng, now the soldiers are very disciplined, and no one dares to mess around." ”

A smile appeared on Guo Shanfeng's face, "This is good, we must pay attention to military discipline, although we are called bandits, we must regard ourselves as righteous soldiers, heroes who rob the rich and help the poor." ”

The reason why Guo Shanfeng pays so much attention to military discipline is because before leaving, Li Qing told him a thousand times, if an army does not have strict military discipline, it will soon fall, especially in the case of Guo Shanfeng's operation, if most of the people who were kept in the dark really made themselves bandits, it would be extremely unfavorable to them after returning to Dingzhou in the future.

The army that crossed the mountain wind came like the wind, and after plundering, it left Yingcheng like another gust of wind, leaving only a group of Qingcheng gentry who had changed from rich to destitute in an instant, and wanted to cry without tears.

Wankou, the soldiers who stayed behind began to prepare before the battle, when the mountain wind attacked, left more than 1,000 strong here, handed over to a group of low-level officers from Dingzhou, trained by them, led this group of rookies, months passed, these more than 1,000 soldiers in Dingzhou after receiving formal military training, has been completely reborn, began to have a military atmosphere, and the armor secretly transported by Dingzhou, weapons have also been assembled, although the armor is some old goods, but for these previous salt workers, It is still an indispensable thing, and being able to get such a good thing makes them more in awe of the big boss Bantianyun, at this time, these things are scarce materials, and they need a huge amount of silver to equip the soldiers, and they didn't see Yuan Chengying, who came to attack Wankou last time, and some of the soldiers didn't have armor!

The appearance of the bay mouth has changed greatly, although the fortress and other fortresses can not be built, but the Dingzhou officers still strengthened the simple version of the city wall of the bay mouth, separated the two rows of wooden fences by several meters, driven deep into the ground, and then filled it with earth and stones, smeared with mud, and the section of the city wall was erected in this way, although it was only less than three meters high, but it was already a lot of peace of mind for the families of the salt workers behind the city wall. Such a wall is far from enough to deal with the grassland barbarians, but it is completely sufficient to deal with an army like the Fuzhou Army, which has not experienced the test of war for a long time.

The reason why the Dingzhou army is strong is that they have slowly cultivated in the struggle against the barbarians is the will to fight to the last man and not give up resistance.

When the mountain breeze returned to the bay, the pre-battle preparations here had been arranged in place, and when he saw the strong crossbow installed on the wall, the mountain breeze nodded with satisfaction.

"Huang Yiming, you come to command the defense of the city, I will take two thousand people out of the city, go to Xiang Hui's ass, and stab him to death from behind!" The relaxed atmosphere of these Dingzhou officers made Wei Dewu and other generals who grew up from the original salt workers also involuntarily relaxed, and also, under the leadership of the mountain wind, they will win every battle in Fuzhou, which has given them a strong self-confidence, believing that they can defeat the Fuzhou army that originally looked powerful.

"General..."Huang Yiming blurted out, but immediately realized his mistake, and continued without changing his face: "You take all the cavalry out of the city!" In this way, we will act more quickly, we must end the battle against Xiang Hui before Fuzhou Xiang Feng arrives, I am afraid that Xiang Hui will slip away when he sees a bad opportunity, if he is allowed to merge with Xiang Feng, then the next battle will be difficult to fight. ”

"Divide and strike, break each one, and destroy the enemy in motion!" The mountain wind waved his arm, "Don't forget this sentence, Wankou is now a bait, luring the Fuzhou army to destroy one after another, and when Xiang Xianhe finds out that it is wrong, when he wants to gather all the troops, he will find that his Fuzhou army no longer has enough troops, hahaha, by then, Fuzhou will be ours!" ”

Everyone laughed, but the laughter had a different meaning.

Xiang Hui confidently advanced towards the mouth of the bay, for the destruction of Yuan Chengying, although he had a certain vigilance against this group of rioting salt workers, but he still thought that with the elite under his command, it should be easy to exterminate it, not to mention that now the one called Bantianyun is collecting a large army and wandering around, Xiang Feng's elite cavalry has been embellished with them, how can the chaotic army that has taken most of the main force be his opponent, he is not Yuan Cheng, and his subordinates are not the gang of wrecks under Yuan Cheng, These 3,000 people are the absolute main force raised by the handsome man with a lot of money.

"General Xiang, the left and right flanks have found that there are rebellious army ranger sentry activities, please ask for instructions on whether to expel them?" The Vanguard Sentinel rushed to report.

Xiang Hui thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No need, the other party wants to disturb the hearts of our army, how many people are there in the chaos, can they send a large force out of the city, pretend to be suspicious soldiers, and march straight to the mouth of the bay, we will go straight to his lair, don't worry, it is that the main force of Tianyun is here, what are we afraid of three thousand tiger Benerlang, advance." ”

And in the other direction, after hearing the report of the scout, he smiled and said to the generals around him: "Soldiers, treacherous ways, virtual ones, real ones, virtual and real, their use is wonderful, there is one heart, you must remember, the more you have the upper hand, the more you must be cautious, because with the odd and risky, it will only be used by the weak or the one who is about to lose, and I hope that the ability to turn the tide will not fall, this kind of strategy can turn defeat into victory once, but the possibility of failure is greater." I wish I wouldn't use tricks and tricks for the rest of my life! ”

The horse whip pointed in the direction of Hui's advance, "You see, Xiang Hui now thinks that he has the upper hand and is sure to win, and it is the same in the eyes of many people, but he is not cautious, but arrogant, which lays the groundwork for his defeat, if I command the Fuzhou army, once I find the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry, I will definitely send someone to expel and sweep and find out the situation." In this way, even if you will delay the attack, you will minimize the danger you may have. ”

"Thank you for your teachings!" The generals around him listened with relish, and the Dingzhou officers all knew that several Dingzhou generals such as Guo Shanfeng were personally taught by the marshal Mr. Li Qing, and at this time, they could get on-site guidance from Guo Shanfeng on the battlefield, which was very rare, and Wei Dewu and others had not been exposed to high-level military law at all, and they were even more fascinated by it and firmly remembered it.

"Let's go, get ready to poke Xiang Hui's ass, the scout must pay attention to Xiang Hui's movements, and report the other party's location to me at any time, we must kill Xiang Hui before Xiang Feng arrives, and cut off one of Xiang Xianhe's arms!"

"Yes!" The generals responded with a bang, and one by one left the side of the mountain wind and walked towards their troops.
