Facing the several division commanders who were arguing in front of him, Wei Zheng finally spoke. Facing Wang Feng, he asked directly, "Commander Wang, what do you think?" ”

Wang Feng, who was in a hurry to take revenge in the hands of the Houjin Tartars, replied without thinking about it: "Dashuai, you must not just let go of these Houjin Tartars...... My idea was to send troops at once, and then follow behind the Jin army, and pursue the Tartars, forcing them to fight a decisive battle with us. However, in the course of the pursuit, we must not divide our forces to avoid being broken by the Tartars individually, and in the process of pursuit, we will be bitten back by the Houjin Tartars......"

Seeing Wei Zheng nodding with an approving face, Wang Feng continued: "Of course, even if the Houjin army does not fight a decisive battle with us from beginning to end, then we will take the people of the Houjin country out of anger. In the Houjin Kingdom, there was also a burning, killing and looting to make up for the huge losses in Liaodong. ”

Before he knew the true purpose of Huang Taiji, Wang Feng's idea was undoubtedly the best and the safest.

Therefore, after only a short period of contemplation, Wei Zheng gave the order to send troops in pursuit.

Tens of thousands of tigers and leopards rode on foot, under the personal command of Wei Zheng, like a red dragon that could not be seen at a glance, following closely behind the Tartars, and plunged straight into the golden hinterland, putting on a posture of smashing the yellow dragon.

As for the retreating Houjin army, it was as if they didn't see the Tiger and Leopard Army behind them, and they retreated straight to the Houjin hinterland. I am not worried at all that after the Tiger and Leopard Army enters Houjin, they will burn and loot in Houjin and take revenge on what they have done in Liaodong.

In this way, the two armies, one in front and one behind, only took five days. It went deeper into the hinterland of Houjin for more than 200 miles.

And at this very moment. The scouts have been strengthened to the scouts of twenty miles around the army. finally sent Wei Zheng a shocking and suddenly enlightened news.

"On the grasslands within a few dozen miles of the army, there is not a single Tartar tribe to be seen. As for some of the towns that passed along the way, they were also empty, and there was not a single Houjin Tartar in sight. ”

"Without Tartars, there will be no cattle, sheep and horses, and the Tiger and Leopard Army, which has tens of thousands of soldiers, will have no object to burn and loot. In this case. Wang Feng wanted to pursue and loot through guò to make up for the losses of Liaodong, but there was no way to achieve it. ”

In the face of this result, an idea, like lightning, appeared directly in Wei Zheng's mind, that is: "Solid wall clears the wilderness......"

As for the words behind the fortified wall and clear the field, needless to say, everyone knows that it is to lure the enemy deep and attack the logistics of the tiger and leopard army. The Haw Par Army, which could not get logistical supplies, was dragged down in the territory of the Houjin Kingdom. forced the Haw Par Army to withdraw.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but gasp, and at the same time, a heartfelt shocked expression also appeared on Wei Zheng's face. "Could it be that Huang Taiji is really so powerful, he can even think of the essence of the Red Army's guerrilla warfare in later generations, and he will directly use it for me......" Wei Zheng, who was shocked, couldn't help but muttered to himself.

Faced with the ever-changing expression on Wei Zheng's face, Wang Feng hurriedly asked, "What is the guerrilla warfare of the Marshal Red Army...... Isn't it that there are no Tartars around the army? The Admiral thinks this is normal. ”

"As long as you are a person, you will know that wherever the army goes, there will be no chickens and dogs. The last general thought that the surrounding Tartars must have gotten the news in advance and fled directly......"

Wei Zheng replied thoughtfully: "If this is the case, Ben Shuai will not have so many worries. Now, what Ben Shuai is worried about is that the Tartars on our entire march have been deliberately relocated by Huang Taiji. ”

"If that's the case, then our Tiger and Leopard Army will encounter opponents and trouble this time."

In the face of the incomprehension and puzzled expressions that quickly appeared on everyone's faces, Wei Zheng did not hesitate, and directly transferred the essence of guerrilla warfare in later generations, and the powerful power that guerrilla warfare can burst out on the battlefield...... It was said in as much detail as possible.

After it was over, except for a few division commanders who still hadn't figured it out, who were still discussing something with doubts on their faces, several other people, including Wang Feng, without exception, all fell into contemplation with solemnity.

Facing the increasingly solemn atmosphere around him, Wei Zheng hurriedly opened his mouth to relieve the siege and said: "Of course, don't worry too much, this is just a speculation by Ben Shuai, not necessarily true." You must know that Houjin is so big, and it relies on grazing. If they do clear us of the wall, it means that the Tartars will have to give up more than sixty percent of the grasslands and pastures. Without pastures and grasslands, cattle, sheep and horses have nothing to eat. In this case, the cattle and sheep in the hands of the Tartars are bound to suffer heavy losses in this battle. Therefore, the strong wall Qingye is also very deadly for the Houjin Tartars. “

"If he wants to make this decision, he must be determined enough, and even give up his sweat position......

Seeing that everyone's solemn faces were full of relaxation, Wei Zheng's words changed and continued: "Of course, we can't be unguarded against this problem. ”

"If the Tartars really intend to clear us of the wall, then the biggest problem we will face in the next battle will be the burden of food and grass. Because, after the Tartar wall is cleared, it means that we will not be able to get any supplies from Houjin. Therefore, we must ensure that the logistical supplies from Liaodong and the energy continue to be sent to us. ”

"As long as we have enough grain and grass in our hands, the so-called strong walls and clear fields of the Tartars will be useless. In this case, we can directly go deep into the hinterland of Houjin, fight all the way to the last lair of the Houjin Tartars, drive them into the mountains again, sweep the entire Houjin country, and force Huang Taiji to fight a decisive battle with us. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng's face was directly covered by Yan Sù, and he commanded with a majestic face.

"In order to ensure the safety of the transportation of heavy grain and grass, this commander has decided that the guard troops escorting grain and grass will be increased from one regiment to one division, and the commander of the third division, Qin, will be responsible for protecting and transporting the heavy grain and grass of the whole army from now on."

"The task given to you by Ben Shuai is both simple and arduous, that is, to send the grain and grass from Liaodong here safely."

"Commander Wang Feng, continue to send scouts. Scout's detection range. from twenty to forty miles. As long as the Tartar tribe is found. Contact the cavalry immediately, destroy them, bring back their cattle, sheep and war horses, replenish our grain and grass, and reduce the pressure on logistics and transportation......"

The 3rd Division of the Haw Par Army, under the cover of night, left the barracks at the same time, which was twice as large as the Houjin Army barracks. 10,000 iron horsemen with yellow flags, also with a special mission, left the barracks and disappeared into the vast night.

After a continuous and rapid march, the 6,000 musketeers of the 3rd Division, which took two full days, finally received the baggage troops of the Tiger and Par Army, which had penetrated hundreds of miles into Houjin.

When the division commander Qin Yong learned from the head of the baggage regiment that since the baggage regiment entered Houjin, there was news that the Tartar cavalry had been constantly haunting. On Qin Yong's forehead, beads of sweat directly appeared.

Qin Yong, who knew the purpose of his trip, his first reaction was. The baggage regiment in front of him has been targeted by the Tartars. If you come a day late, or even half a day. The baggage regiment, which did not have much combat effectiveness, may have been completely wiped out under the attack of the Tartars. As for the grain and grass that the main force of the Haw Par Army urgently needed, it all fell into the hands of the Tartars.

However, now that it is good, the baggage regiment and all the grain and grass baggage have been received safely.

Thinking of this, Qin Yong, who couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Cavalry Scout Company, set off immediately, reconnoiter all the enemy situations within ten miles of the surrounding area, and report immediately if there is news......

"One battalion of the tenth regiment, the vanguard of the whole army, three battalions of the twelfth regiment, the rear guard of the whole army, set off immediately. The other troops, in battalion units, marched on a cordon around the baggage regiment......"

After adding 6,000 guards, the confidence of the baggage regiment has also become much more sufficient. Not only that, but the Tartar cavalry, who looked like flies around them, may have been afraid of the sudden appearance of the tiger and leopard army, and disappeared without a trace.

Of course, this disappearance is not a real disappearance, but a hidden place where the Haw Par Army cannot see, continuing to monitor.

At the same time, the news that the number of Haw Par troops escorting the baggage had increased from more than 1,000 to more than 7,000 was also sent to the Tartar generals who commanded 10,000 elite Tartar generals with yellow flags as soon as possible.

In the face of this sudden increase in the number of fierce enemies, the main general did not dare to have the slightest contempt, and directly summoned the generals in the army to discuss ways to deal with the enemy.

Looking at the subordinates with different expressions in front of him, the main general directly reminded: "Generals, according to the speed of the Haw Par Army's march, in three days at most, these grains and grass can be sent to the Haw Par Army barracks. ”

"Everyone has seen the quantity of this batch of grain and grass. It can be said that as long as these burdens fall into the hands of the Haw Par Army, the Haw Par Army, which has penetrated deep into the hinterland of our Houjin, can hold out for another half a month. Let's think about it, in half a month, how much grassland and pasture land can the Tiger and Leopard Army occupy in our Houjin Kingdom, and how many of our cattle, sheep, and horses will be starved to death. ”

"So, for the future of the Houjin country, for the sake of everyone's families who have migrated to the hinterland of Houjin. Whatever you say, we can't afford to fall into the hands of the Haw Par Army......"

Under the threat of the main general's demagogy, the facial expressions on everyone's faces that were still hesitant just now were directly covered by stern sù and murderous aura.

One of the Tartar generals directly opened his mouth and shouted: "General, we all understand what you say, you say, how should we fight." For the sake of the Houjin Kingdom, I will die in battle today, and I will also destroy these baggage and kill all these tiger and leopard troops. ”

"Yes, kill them all and rob them of their heavy grain and grass...... "The other generals, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, shouted one after another.

This result is obviously what the Tartar Lord wants to see.

Just after everyone's eyes were all focused on him, the main general, with a satisfied face, directly spread out a sheepskin map, and told the information sent back by the scout in as much detail as possible.

Then, he said in a firm tone: "With so many Haw Par troops, coupled with their sophisticated firearms, if they are allowed to form a military formation, with the sabers and bows we are equipped with, there is absolutely no way to destroy them without artillery support." ”

"Therefore, throughout the battle, we must not allow the Haw Par Army to come together and form a musket formation that poses the greatest threat to us." (To be continued......)
