Chapter 103: Countermeasures

"It is true that those old and weak are their dependence and their weakness! We should divide it. Wen Scandal said, his eyes flickered a few times, and then he spoke.

Then he analyzed: "In addition, the defeat of this battle is also to underestimate the ruthlessness of the thief. If we can give them a glimmer of life, it will definitely cause the thieves' defense to collapse, and even drive the old and weak to our use! ”

"Yes, this defeat is nothing more than a large number of people on the bandit camp, and too few of our personnel have boarded it! This has caused the phenomenon of excessive disparity in the number of people! It's a matter of retreating! Otherwise, it would have entered its village long ago!" Dong Jiang nodded and said.

The others also nodded yes, and that was exactly what they said.

"Well, now that the thief is clear, I think everyone has some ways to deal with it! Let's hear it! Wen Chen glanced at the people in the tent and concluded.

"If we talk about the method of controlling the enemy and defeating the thief, the first thing is the method of dividing the old and the weak of the thief, and now the thief and the turtle are shrinking into the camp, how can we divide it?" Tie Qian's eyebrows tightened, and he was the first to ask.

"Exactly, now that the information is not available, I can't wait to get close to the thief camp! It's a tough deal! A Gaoyi County officer said.

For a while, everyone thought about the solution and the countermeasure.

"Well, I don't know how many literate people these thieves have? If we shoot the letter of surrender into the village with a bow and arrow! Can it go viral? Jiang Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Oh, Sima has also thought about this method, but as soon as we get a little closer to the camp of the thieves, we will inevitably be attacked by the thieves' arrows! The second is to be able to shoot the letter of persuasion into the village with a bow and arrow, and it will not be too far, so it will be intercepted by the elite of the thieves! Will they have no way to deal with it? Tie Qian frowned and said what his worries were.

"Well, what Brother Tie Qian said is true, and this is also where my worries lie!" Dong Jiang echoed.

"This matter really needs to be thought through!" When Wen Chou saw the first question, everyone was a little troubled! Words.

After thinking for a moment, he continued: "The five hundred captives in the camp can be used within a safe range!" ”

The people in the tent looked at each other and pondered.

In the end, it was the military Sima Jiang who declared: "If these prisoners come forward in person, it will naturally be more advantageous!" We only need to create opportunities for these captives to meet the old and weak, and to lure them with advantage and emotion, and we will surely make the old and weak of the thieves and the weak of our use! Then big things can be expected. ”

"In this case, how many more times do you have to attack the camp, so that some of the captives can take advantage of the chaos to get in? Okay, should we meet inside and outside? Dong Jiang frowned and said.

"This method is also possible, but I am afraid that these thieves will turn against us again, and they will be in a nest with the thieves and snakes and rats in the camp!" Shuzuo Chen Ning said worriedly.

"What Ming Zhi said is also reasonable, it seems that it is necessary to find a prisoner who is really willing to naturalize as a prisoner of Qi Min, so that Sima and Dong Jun's strategy can be implemented!" Wen Chou frowned. This really embarrassed him, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, how did he know that the captive wanted to return to Han sincerely?

"If it is difficult to determine the candidate, you can also make the prisoners assist in the general attack, appear at the right time, and persuade the thieves to be old and weak outside the camp! It's just that in this way, the effect will be much worse than the previous strategy! Jiang Xuan saw that Wen Chou was in trouble, and said something again.

Wen Scandal lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "Although this method is stable, the effect must be very small," and then a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said decisively: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger?!" Just select some of the captives and come together inside and outside! It's really not good, you can also build ladders and wooden shields, and bloom in many directions during the general attack, so that the thieves can take care of the head and the tail! ”

"Exactly, if there are enough ladders and wooden shields, maybe we have already captured the broken stockade!" Yan Liang said. The ladder they prepared was only the number of five or six thousand defenders! How could he have thought that the thieves would act like this, and nearly 20,000 old and weak people rushed to guard the village?

"Yes, we can make two preparations, one is to look forward to the captives rebelling against the thieves in the camp who want to survive, the old and the weak, and come to the inside and outside; Second, prepare for the whole army to attack and annihilate all the thieves! Jiang Xuan agreed.

"Well, this matter is decided, who else has any good suggestions to add?" Wen Chou glanced at the words of everyone in the tent.

Everyone in the camp thought for a long time, and there was no better advice, so they were silent.

Seeing this, Wen Chou said: "In this way, let's arrange a specific division of labor!" This battle has been a protracted battle, and please make all arrangements and preparations! ”

The generals in the tent agreed in unison.

Wen Chou said to the subordinate officials of Gaoyi County and Tie Qian: "Cutting down wood to build ladders, wooden shields, etc., is the key to this attack on thieves!" Please also arrange for your subordinates to be strong and do their best! ”

"I will not dishonor the king's life!" Tie Qian was the first to stand up and answer. Seeing this, other Gaoyi County officers also stood up and promised.

"During the stationing period, there must be no slack in defense, and Dong Jun needs to lead 500 elite cavalry soldiers to protect him!" Wen Chou said.

"The situation of the thief and the enemy must be known, and Wen Ba can lead a hundred horsemen to observe it closely!" Wen Chou said in the face of Wen Ba.

"Subordinates take orders!" Wen Ba got up and bowed down and took the order.

"Do not give the thief a respite and harass him from time to time. It can also cover us for the construction of the ladder! This requires Sima and I to draw 3,000 strong, 700 elite, and 800 archers to help! Are you all right? Wen Chou glanced at the generals in the hall and said.

"Full-screen Wen Jun|Wen Xiaowei arrangement!" The people answered.

"Okay, then, without further ado, let's go down and make arrangements! In the cold winter, please do your best! to be able to return home as soon as possible. Wen Chou finally admonished.

So the people dispersed and prepared for themselves, and it was no problem!

However, after a day's rest, Wen Chou led 3,000 strong, 700 elite, 800 archers, and 300 captives selected yesterday to march towards the camp of thieves. This is a plan to be carried out so that the captives will be mixed into the camp of the thieves and the thieves will fight against the old and weak of the thieves!

Of course, in yesterday's selection work, the people selected are usually people who are more yearning for the life of Shahe Township, and promise that as long as this success is achieved, the day they return to Shahe Township will be the time to restore the body of Qi Min! And there are houses for them to live in, and there are dozens of acres of fertile land. As for ordinary thieves, the period of one-year labor reform remains unchanged, and when the deadline is up, their own houses and fertile land will be given away!

Wen Chou made a good promise for this. If these captives are unmoved, then it is no wonder that he will be overwhelmed by the army!

The battle was not fierce, because neither side had the heart to accomplish their work and the idea of dying. And those thieves, the old and weak, saw that the army of Wen Chou did not kill them, and they were happy to only contribute to them, and waved their swords forward one after another. It is also a further confirmation of Wen Chou, the desire of these old and weak thieves and their current dilemma. I have a better grasp of being able to turn them against him.

Wen Chou just mixed those captives in the strong, and tried his best to cover up and kill for a while, so that the captives took advantage of the chaos to blend into the thief camp, so he pretended to see that the thieves were powerful and took advantage of the situation to retreat. If Wen Chou wants to take advantage of the situation to kill the thief camp, he will not be able to last, because the number of people who kill the thief camp is still too small.

In this way, everything is left to wait, the choice of these thieves and prisoners, and the general attack of the Japanese army after everything is ready.

Wen Chou gradually retreated with the 'remnants of the defeated army', and Liu Min and his generals in the thief camp knew that this attack must have been a small test and harassment battle of the Wen Chou army, but they were also glad that they had repelled the Wen Chou army so smoothly.

Liu Min was also overjoyed, and he was also a little proud of being able to easily repel Wen Chou's army. I thought to myself: "Although the Wen Chou Army is strong, there are not enough people, the strongest is only a thousand, and the other thousands of people are not as good as the elite of our department!" I think that I have a base camp with a population of nearly 30,000 people, regardless of casualties, but in fact, what can a timid person like their officers and soldiers break through? It seems that I was overthinking before. ”

"Congratulations to Qu Shuai, once again repel Wen Chou's guy!" The face of the general under his account bowed his hand to Liu Min and congratulated.

"Congratulations to Qu Shuai, Qu Shuai is heroic!" A long-faced general echoed the words.

"Qu Shuai is heroic!" The other generals also complimented. But it's not as good as a person dressed as a scholar. I saw him say: "Qu Shuai is wise, even more than Li Shuai!" If Qu Shuai had already taken the lead, he would have destroyed those Xu Judges outside! Even now is not too late, our department will be able to once again prestige between the two counties and three counties under the leadership of Qu Shuai! ”

The generals' expressions became excited, as if they would be able to show off their might outside the county tomorrow. Even though Liu Min knew that this was impossible, he was also smiling, who doesn't like to listen to praise and praise? But then he waved his hand again and again: "This is not my own work, but your credit!" Without your assistance, how could I be where Liu Min is today? ”

The other generals, seeing Liu Min say this, were very happy, and they all pushed the credit to Liu Min, but it was a sign of harmony. Seeing this, Liu Min promised: "After repelling the thief this time, he will definitely be a hero!" Don't let you lose! ”

The generals under his tent shouted "wise" and "divine martial arts".

Wen Chou led the army back to the camp, and after arranging the wounded, he led everyone to the logging place, where the wood was cut to build ladders, wooden shields and other siege equipment! After all, it was well prepared and launched a general attack as early as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night, which made the prisoners who mixed into the camp feel hopeless, and after shaking their hearts to return to Shahe Township.

At this point, the Wen Chou Army officially entered a state of high-speed combat readiness. The whole army hurried to work day and night, and took turns to harass the thieves and the camp, so that they would not be suspicious. Just wait for the final battle to come.

In this way, it is ten years. Thousands of ladders, wooden shields, etc., were made by Wen Choujun, although the workmanship is simple, they are often scrapped after only one or two uses! But for the Wen Chou army who only need to board the camp of thieves, it is also enough!
