Chapter 31: Let the Tartars take the initiative to die
Wei Zheng is not wrong, although the Tiger and Par Army has not reached the point of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are still some talents.
Although this platoon commander named Zhou Chenguang does not have too high martial arts, his talent in interrogation and torture is unique.
If you carefully investigate his ancestors, you will find that this great-grandfather of Zhou Chenguang used to be a member of the Jinyi Guard, and was specially responsible for all kinds of interrogations and punishments of prisoners in the Jinyi Guard's Imperial Prison.
Because there are too many people who usually offend, plus I suddenly collapsed in the background.
Zhou Chenguang's great-grandfather was not only killed by his opponents, but also became a wanted criminal in the imperial court. In order to keep his family alive, his great-grandfather had to move with his family to the border to escape the pursuit of his enemies.
As time went by, although the Zhou family became more and more depressed, they even became a bandit under Wei Zheng. However, the ability to interrogate and torture has been passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, Wei Zheng is not clear about these things.
The reason why he agreed to Zhou Chenguang's request was that on the one hand, he didn't want to hit the enthusiasm of his subordinates, and on the other hand, he also had the idea of killing a mouse by a blind cat.
However, the scene that was about to happen in front of him surprised Wei Zheng.
In less than a stick of incense, Zhou Chenguang walked over with blood all over his body. As for Zhou Chenguang's body, the two Ming soldiers who were dragging their bloody tartars were pale with a pale face.
Just when Wei Zheng's face showed a trace of puzzlement, the dying Tartar was directly dragged in front of Wei Zheng under Zhou Chenguang's order and thrown to the ground.
At this moment, the tartar lying on the ground can no longer be called a complete person. Because, his ears and nose were all cut off, and large streams of blood were pouring out of the wounds. Not only that, but there were also several slender bamboo sticks stuck in the Tartar's several trembling fingers, and the slightest trace of blood was flowing out along the bamboo sticks, which was particularly miserable.
Seeing this, if Wei Zheng didn't have the bearing psychology of the special forces of later generations, he would definitely not help but shudder.
However, who let Wei Zheng's soul come from the afterlife, after shifting his gaze from the tartar to Zhou Chenguang in front of him expressionlessly, Wei Zheng's gaze at Zhou Chenguang had already invisibly changed from calm to interested.
asked Zhou Chenguang: "Platoon Commander Zhou, if you really have you, you will still be like this, it seems that I have really discovered talents." Not surprisingly, eight generations of the ancestors of this Tartar have been asked by you. Let's pick up the key points of the report first, and after that, tell me where you learned all the torture methods you used to extract confessions......
"Yes, General......" Zhou Chenguang replied calmly as if he had not experienced the interrogation just now.
"According to the Tatars' confession, he was indeed sent by their Niu Lu Zhangjing. In addition to him, there were two Tartars who went to the other two roundabout troops. ”
"As for his task, it is to bring back the latest situation of the detour troops. In terms of specific reasons, because he is only a small soldier, he does not know ......"
Wei Zheng nodded, and the brows that had been stretched out slowly wrinkled, and said in a heavy tone: "Tartar Niu Lu Zhang Jing sent liaison troops to the three roundabout troops respectively, no accident, at the latest, at the latest, Tartar Niu Lu Zhang Jing will learn that the two roundabout troops under his command were completely annihilated by us." ”
"Not only that, but the Tartars, who know that they have lost more than half of their troops, will definitely choose to retreat, leave the mountains in the shortest possible time, ask for help from their banner owners, and launch a larger-scale encirclement and suppression of us."
The encirclement and suppression of more than 200 Tartars caused heavy losses to the Haw Par Army, not to mention a larger-scale encirclement and suppression.
The faces of several platoon commanders around Wei Zheng quickly showed an unprecedented solemnity.
At this moment, Wei Zheng's words suddenly turned, and he said confidently: "Brothers, don't worry too much, for now, we don't want to annihilate all the Tartars in the mountain, but have to annihilate all the Tartars in the Golden Mountain." Only by annihilating them all, can our Haw Par Army hide in the mountains for a longer time and accumulate more powerful self-protection strength......"
As long as all the Tartars entering the mountain are wiped out, the Haw Par Army can survive this possible crisis. This is the meaning revealed to you in Wei Zheng's analysis.
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope slowly appeared on everyone's solemn faces.
Zhou Chenguang, who was covered in Tartar blood, shouted arrogantly: "General, you can give the order...... There are less than one hundred and thirty Tartars left, and there is absolutely no problem in destroying them..."
Seeing that several people gathered their eyes on him together, Wei Zheng gestured for everyone to sit on the ground, and analyzed in a calm tone: "There are two Tartars now, one with more than eighty people and one with fifty people. Knowing that the other two roundabout troops were wiped out by us, for the sake of safety, he would definitely order the last roundabout troops to quickly move closer to the main force. ”
"The two armies joined forces and retreated together in the direction of Mushroom Valley..."
Platoon Commander Li of the Second Spear Brigade suddenly spoke: "General, can we ambush the last Tartar detour troops halfway." If we can completely annihilate these fifty Tartars in one step, the remaining main force of the Tartars will not be worried..."
Before Wei Zheng could speak, Zhou Chenguang had already shaken his head one step ahead and denied.
"Platoon Commander Li, although this idea is good, there is basically no possibility of realization...."
"First of all, we don't know which way the Tartars will go, so we rushed to the gate of the barracks to meet them Niu Lu Zhangjing... Secondly, even if we know which way the Tartars are going, we will not be able to catch up in time ...."
As he spoke, Zhou Chenguang had already picked up a branch and drew a circle on the ground, and then placed four stones around the circle.
Then he spoke again and analyzed: "You see, this circle represents our military camp, this is us, and directly opposite us is the last detour of the Tartars....if we want to ambush the last detour troops of the Tartars, we must bypass most of the military camps to achieve it." ”
"Judging from the distance that the enemy and us need to walk, by the time we reach our destination, the Tartar roundabout troops have already joined their main forces and begun to retreat beyond the mountains......"
After looking at all the subordinates' series of expressions, Wei Zheng, who was satisfied, decisively interrupted.
"You're all right, the idea of ambushing the Tartar Third Route Detour Force is not suitable for the time being...."
"Not only that, but we can't stop the trend of the two Tartar armies uniting together. Therefore, what everyone really needs to think about now is: how to destroy the two Tartar armies in the mountains after they join forces..."
Zhou Chenguang's brows furrowed, and he spoke first with a solemn face: "General, after the Tartars join forces, their total strength will be more than one hundred and thirty people. What's more, among these hundred and thirty Tartars, there are at least thirty Tartar archers..."
"As you just said, until we have the means to suppress the Tartar archers, to take the initiative to attack the Tartars with thirty archers is to send them to death......so a head-to-head battle with the Tartars will never work."
The other two platoon commanders agreed separately and then kept silent because there was no solution.
After confirming that none of the three platoon commanders had good ideas, Wei Zheng had to open his mouth to remind: "You are right, we can't attack the Tartars without solving the Tartar archers....However, you can think about it from another angle, if you want to completely annihilate the more than 100 Tartars who have entered the mountain, we don't have to take the initiative to attack..."
"We can defend passively, let the Tartars attack us, and wipe out more than a hundred Tartars in the way of the attack..."
Seeing his thoughtful subordinates, Wei Zheng no longer hesitated, and continued to speak: "My idea is: immediately rush to the only way for the Tartars to withdraw from the mountain, choose a suitable terrain, build a defensive line, and block the Tartars' retreat..."
"As long as we choose the right terrain and build a good enough temporary defensive line, the Tartar archers will not be able to threaten our safety. However, the more than 200 throwing spears in our hands can deal a fatal blow to the Tartars at a critical moment...."
"Not only that, but when the Tartars retreat, we can also order the troops holding the camp to follow and pursue, forcing the Tartars to attack the defensive line we have built. Otherwise, he will be surrounded by us. When the time comes, just by starvation, you can crush these Tartars..."
Zhou Chenguang, who had seen Wei Zheng's series of hunting methods, followed up and added: "We can also set traps in the dense forest around the defense line to prevent the Tartars from escaping into the dense forest when they are cornered and have no way out...
"Well said, that's it..."Wei Zheng ordered in a firm tone......
