Ambush is a technical work, Zheng Xunrui is not particularly clear, but he knows one thing, that is, the location of the ambush is very important, now it is still in the era of cold weapon warfare supplemented by firearms, the development of firearms is not mature, so the location of the ambush is even more important, generally speaking, in the era of cold weapon combat, ambush must have two advantages, the first is conducive to the charge of cavalry, the slope can not be too steep, the horse must have space to accelerate, the second is that the place of fighting can not be too narrow, Otherwise, it is very likely that you will be trapped in it, and there is no room for turnaround.

Of course, if it is the era of ** warfare, the requirements for the ambush location are completely different, the narrower the place, the better, after all, it is firearms that play the main role, and in narrow places, the other side has no place to hide.

The time of the ambush is also very important, it has entered the winter, if it is an ambush in one place for two to three days, it is impossible, without waiting for the other party to come, it will freeze itself, lose its ability to fight, and attack a fart, I am afraid that I will watch the other party walk over, and I dare not move casually.

With these two points in place, as long as there are no particularly unexpected situations, victory is within reach.

On October 29, 2,600 Zheng Jiajun arrived at Qingjian Bay.

According to the requirements of Zhao Mu's letter, the army led by King Zijin Liang should arrive in Qingjian Bay on the first day of November, and from the analysis of time, Wang Ziyong, who received the letter, will definitely not be delayed, and will immediately lead the army from Yongning Prefecture to the direction of Qingjian County, and Zhao Mu revealed the meaning in the previous letter, ready to resign and return to Li, that is, to prepare to help Wang Ziyi, and will definitely be able to think of a good way to attack the city.

Zheng Xunrui also knows the psychology of Wang Ziyong, what to avenge Zhang Cunmeng who does not touch the mud, it is all a pretext, Zhang Cunmeng once betrayed the Zijin Liang Wang who was the eldest brother for his own use, after Zhang Cunmeng rebelled again, Wang Ziyong did not follow the action, but defected to Wang Jiayin, who was active in Shanxi, from this point of view alone, there is no motive for revenge, Wang Ziyong's eyes are red, it must be the food and horses of Fucheng and other military supplies and so on.

Wang Jiayin's strength has grown unprecedentedly, and the number of rogues has exceeded 20,000, not to mention the combat effectiveness, just the number of people has scared the local government to dare not move, which makes Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong's self-confidence unprecedentedly inflated, the number of rogues has increased, and the problem of insufficient horses and weapons, including the problem of food, will also be exposed, so at this time, what Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong need most is food, weapons, war horses and other materials.

There is also news, which must also be the factor that prompted Wang Ziyong to attack Yan'an Fucheng, that is, the army of the imperial court to exterminate the Liukou will not enter Yan'an Mansion, because the new prefect of Yan'an Mansion has ordered that the Fuzhou County Government will no longer provide food to the imperial army, plus Shen Yikui and Zhang Cunmeng who are not muddy were exterminated by the prefect, so at this time, leading the army to attack Yan'an Fucheng can be caught off guard, and there is no need to worry about the imperial army coming to help.

There is also news that Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong don't know, that is, the imperial court has issued an order to establish the Yan'an Guard, and the Zheng Jiajun has also been officially formed.

This qiē factor came together and prompted Wang Zi to attack the city of Yan'an on a large scale in the name of revenge.

Although the scouts had sketched out the location of the ambush in detail, Zheng Xunrui still inspected it himself.

It was already time to arrive, and it was dark all around, and it was a little inappropriate to inspect the terrain at this time, but Zheng Xunrui still insisted on going to the main battlefield to have a look.

Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui and Hong Xinyu followed Zheng Xunrui to survey the terrain.

Qingjian Bay is actually a valley, with hillsides on both sides, and the official road passes through the middle, which is the best way to enter Qingjian County from Suide Prefecture, of course, it is not that this is the only road, but in other places, there is no formed road, and it is impossible for the army to choose those unformed roads for marching, and it is impossible for cavalry to pass from these places.

The topography of Cheonggwanwan is like a funnel, and the road to the valley is narrow, and when you enter the valley, the terrain becomes open in an instant, and the slopes on both sides of the official road are not very steep, and the road in the direction of the exit is also open.

Setting up an ambush in such a place is the most advantageous for the attacking side, and it can be said that it is a natural ambush location.

The other party sent a scout, and when he entered the valley from the narrow valley pass, he felt the sudden widening of his vision, the relaxation of his mood, and his vigilance was naturally much relaxed.

Observe the surrounding terrain on foot for more than an hour.

Back to the makeshift Chinese military tent, it was already an ugly moment.

The climate is getting colder and colder, but Zheng Xunrui feels that he can still insist, this year is going to leap November, and the really cold time should be after November. Therefore, at this time, the soldiers were still able to persevere.

The scouts had been waiting in the tent for a long time, and they had searched out for fifty miles, but found no trace of the army, which showed that Wang Ziyong would not march at night.

"Yang He, order the scouts, expand the scope of the investigation, and extend it to a hundred miles, the scouts must detect the time of the march of the Liukou army, I estimate that the time for the march of the army of Wang Ziyong should be Yinshi, and the brothers still have nearly an hour of preparation time, which is enough."

Yang He was still a little worried, God knows if Wang Ziyong would rest near Suidezhou.

"Young master, my subordinates are still a little worried, if Wang Ziyong chooses to rest near Suidezhou City, won't the brothers have to wait for a long time."

Zheng Xunrui smiled and shook his head.

"The current situation in Yan'an Mansion, Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong are clear, if they expose their whereabouts, wouldn't it be a waste of the opportunity to attack suddenly, it is certain that the speed of their march is very fast, and it is also as secret as possible, what they need to do is to be caught off guard, in addition, they have an internal response, Zhao Mu can help them, which gives them the greatest reliance and confidence, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong will not miss it."

"The most critical point, Zhao Mu's letter is very clear, the time requirement is in the Chenshi, the location of the joint is in Qingjian Bay, Wang Ziyong will definitely arrive according to the time requirements, so that it is impossible for the army under his command to set up camp near Suidezhou City, not afraid of 10,000 in case, the population of Yan'an Mansion has decreased sharply, which is beneficial to Wang Ziyong, and it is also beneficial to us, Zheng Jiajun has been established for more than a month, and many rogues do not know about this matter at all, and set up camp near the official road, It is impossible to be exposed. ”

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Yang He quickly clasped his fists and saluted.

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will arrange it."

Yang He went to arrange, and Zheng Xunrui spoke to Zheng Jinhong beside him.

"Zheng Jinhong, once again emphasize to all the brothers that the military discipline of the Zheng family army is the first, no one is allowed to disobey it, it is necessary to obey the order, and it is never allowed to act without authorization, let alone disturb the people, if someone violates it, it will be killed."

Zheng Jinhong is the commander of the Tongzhi, concurrently serving as Wei Zhenfu, responsible for managing the military discipline of the Zheng family's army, and at the same time responsible for all matters of logistics, including military salaries and rewards, etc., in the Zheng family's army, second only to Zheng Xunrui, is already higher than Yang He, this is also Zheng Xunrui's special arrangement, it should be said that Zheng Xunrui is his absolute confidant, no matter what kind of situation he encounters, he will not rebel, as long as he Zheng Xunrui encounters danger, Zheng Jinhong even if he gives up his life, he must protect him.

Zheng Jinhong nodded and spoke.

"Young master, during the training, the subordinates emphasized military discipline, not only going out to practice, even if they are guarding the yamen, every word and deed must be in accordance with the rules, this part of the sergeants recruited, the overall Su zhì is still good, the subordinates have punished some loose sergeants, all the brothers understand, the military discipline of the Zheng family army is ranked first."

"Very good, Zheng Jinhong, you have to understand, your responsibility is very heavy, military discipline is the soul of the Zheng family, only strict military discipline can have real combat effectiveness, otherwise it is empty talk, I think most of the sergeants have changed a lot, but some people still exude a casual atmosphere, after this battle, go back must be rectified, and there is another point, this battle, we must start to implement appropriate incentives."

Zheng Xunrui looked at Zheng Jinhong and opened his mouth with a stern face.

"With military exploits, it must be rewarded, but there is one thing that must be grasped, the reward can not be too rich, otherwise the sergeant will be addicted to the material, the reward must be combined in two aspects, mainly praise and encouragement, supplemented by material rewards, and at the same time in the battle, find talents, decisive promotion, only in this way, can we truly maintain the combat effectiveness of the army."

"After this battle is over, a law enforcement battalion will be set up when you go back, which will be directly commanded by you, and the law enforcement battalion will not only be responsible for rewards and punishments, but also responsible for the examination of sergeants and the implementation of military discipline and regulations."

"The scale of the Zheng family army is gradually expanding, and it is not very suitable to continue to stay in Fucheng, after this battle, quickly choose a suitable location and establish a military camp, my opinion, stationed outside Fucheng, so that it is also beneficial to the training of the army, as for the garrison yamen of Fucheng, my opinion is to revoke it, strengthen the strength of the inspection department, mainly used to maintain the security of Fucheng, I see that the garrison yamen in other places will also gradually transition, what do you want so many sergeants to do, there is no slightest combat effectiveness, The moment of truth simply does not work. ”……

These words, Zheng Xunrui will only say to Zheng Jinhong, he has already had a plan in his heart, but these plans need to be taken step by step, and he can't be in a hurry, this time he confiscated Zhao Mu's money and food, which is of great help to him, at least in a short time, he doesn't have to worry about the lack of food.
