Chapter 814: Seize the Opportunity

When the two regiments of the 1st Cavalry Division returned to Qingchuan County in victory, the entire Qingchuan County was boiling.

Because, the two regiments that went out not only returned on their own, but also brought back prisoners with a total number of more than three thousand.

In the face of this result, the happiest person was Luo Jingshan, the commander of the First Cavalry Division.

The initiative of the two regiments not only destroyed a large and strong enemy among all the enemies, but also allowed themselves to have at least three thousand more troops.

You know, these more than 3,000 cavalry are not comparable to those garrisons outside the city. After a year of training, as long as they are reorganized and equipped with officers, they will become an elite iron cavalry with combat effectiveness that cannot be underestimated.

At the same time, the on-site mutiny of more than 3,000 soldiers of the two cavalry regiments also made Luo Jingshan clearly see that Zhou Shuyuan was not well prepared in this rebellion.

For Zhou Shuyuan, if he wants to achieve his goal of breaking away from the Tiger and Leopard Army and becoming self-reliant, the most important and deadly thing is to control the army. Only by controlling the army and standing on one's own feet can we have a chance to extricate ourselves from the dangerous situation in front of us.

And the situation in front of him directly told him that Zhou Shuyuan only mastered the senior generals in the army at most, and as for the ordinary soldiers, they were no longer in his control at all. Otherwise, the cavalry of the two regiments of 4,000 people would not have mutinied and surrendered directly on the battlefield with more than 3,000 people.

Since Zhou Shuyuan has not mastered the ordinary soldiers in the army, can he take this defect that belongs to Zhou Shuyuan to make a good fuss and defend Qingchuan County at the lowest cost......

Luo Jingshan had just said his thoughts, and he had just returned to Qingchuan County, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath as the chief of staff. directly took out a secret letter and said, "Commander." This is what we found in the commander of the cavalry division of the Fifth Army. It was a letter written by Zhou Shuyuan to the commander of the secret army that he had privately formed......"

"The letter asked the division commander to immediately send troops to cooperate with the cavalry and the new army of the imperial court in Sichuan to flank the county town of Qingchuan where we are located. Now, the cavalry of the three enemy forces has been wiped out by us, and there is still a division secretly trained by the new army of the imperial court and Zhou Shuyuan......"

"I think we should treat these two forces separately...... The new army of the imperial court was mainly fighting, and Zhou Shuyuan secretly trained a division. After all, many of them used to be part of my Tiger and Par Army......"

Luo Jingshan's eyes lit up, and he replied very affirmatively: "Very good, tell me your specific thoughts......

The chief of staff did not hesitate and continued to speak: "I won't say much about fighting the new army of the imperial court...... I have some thoughts about the division secretly formed by Zhou Shuyuan...... "From the perspective of fighting the enemy's cavalry, the low-level soldiers in the army. didn't know that he had betrayed the Haw Par Army and followed Zhou Shuyuan to stand on his own...... Even if this division is Zhou Shuyuan's secret formation of the henchman. It is also impossible to completely control the thousands of soldiers of this division in such a short period of time......"

"So, I'm sure ...... Among the thousands of officers and men of this division, at least half of them are still in a state of being deceived...... If we can find a way to get into this division, let everyone know that they have betrayed the Haw Par Army and are preparing to attack the Haw Par Army......"

"I can't guarantee anything else, but the morale of this division will definitely be greatly damaged...... Coupled with the fact that our people have some shareholders for them, this division secretly formed by Zhou Shuyuan may not have reached the outside of Qingchuan County, and it will collapse directly because of the mutiny of the soldiers......"

"Good way...... However, how can we bring our own people into this division, so that all the soldiers of this division know the real situation, know that they have been deceived, and encourage them to mutini directly on the battlefield......" After showing an expression of appreciation on the face of the division commander, Luo Jingshan asked......

"You must know that in this division secretly formed by Zhou Shuyuan, he personally nodded and accepted his fate by officers at and above the company level. His control over this division is definitely far greater than that of other units......"

"In this way, if there is no good timing and plan, there is no way for our own people to break into this division! Even if it is entered, it will be a self-defeating net, and the soldiers in this division who are loyal to Zhou Shuyuan will kill people and destroy their mouths......"

After seeing Luo Jingshan's worries, the chief of staff didn't let him wait too long before answering: "Division commander, the opportunity is right in front of you......

"We have just eaten their two cavalry regiments on the battlefield, and even if the commander of this division receives the news, it is impossible to know the specific results......

"The fight of thousands of cavalry, running with so many hundreds, is definitely very normal......"

"We can find an officer among the captives who is still loyal to our Haw Par Army and cooperate with our operation......"

"Let this officer lead the team, take hundreds of soldiers, pretend to be a defeated soldier, and join this division......"

"When the time comes, even if the division commander has some suspicions, there will be no evidence that this officer has returned to the Haw Par Army. After all, as a division commander, it is impossible for him to know a company commander in the cavalry division......"

Hearing this, Luo Jingshan had already agreed with the chief of staff from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, Luo Jingshan nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Luo Jingshan shifted his energy to the 20,000 new imperial army that could attack Qingchuan County at any time, thinking about how to fight, so that he could give the 20,000 imperial army the greatest blow at the lowest cost......

After receiving Zhou Shuyuan's request for help, the 20,000 new troops of the imperial court almost did not hesitate, and chose to follow the document, together with the 10,000-foot cavalry elite who Zhou Shuyuan knelt down, to flank the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army of less than 6,000 people in Qingchuan County.

In the eyes of the commander of the new army of the imperial court, six thousand defenders, excluding the thousands of people who defended the attack of Zhou Shuyuan's frontal department, could be used against himself, and it would be good to have three thousand.

The 3,000 cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, no matter how powerful the combat power is, it is impossible to threaten the entire 20,000 elites under his command.

Therefore, on the entire march, the 20,000 new imperial army was defenseless.

Just when they thought that they would definitely be able to wipe out the six thousand Tiger and Leopard Army cavalry in the city of Qingchuan County.

They didn't expect that Luo Jingshan, who already had 12,000 soldiers, would leave 2,000 garrisons to continue to defend the county town and guard against a possible attack by Zhou Shuyuan's secret army. The remaining 10,000 cavalry were all transferred out of the county by Luo Jingshan, ready to give the new army of the imperial court a vivid field battle outside the city......

On the field battlefield, the advantage of the cavalry's quick rush to kill was used, so that the artillery advantage of the new army of the imperial court could not be brought into play. Thus being divided and surrounded by fast and mobile cavalry, and finally being wiped out cleanly. (To be continued......)
