After the plan was decided, the action began very quickly -- after resting for several days, on October 4, that is, the twenty-first day of the eighth lunar month, Xie Xi, Pang Yu, Ao Sayan, Ma Qianshan, and others led the whole army of 2,000 soldiers out of Dengzhou Prefecture and marched towards Huangxian in the southwest.

In line with the principle of resolutely not dividing troops and absolutely not weakening their own strength, they pulled out all the army units. Who will stay here in Dengzhou - Ling Ning's navy. The latter had only more than 900 men under his command, and after deducting the indispensable shipwrights and sailors and the ship's escorts, there were no more than 300 marines who could be drawn ashore, which was a rather weak number.

However, for Ling Ning, the human resources he could call on were actually quite sufficient—the more than 10,000 troops were under his control. As long as this group of people does not make trouble and does not rebel, it is not very difficult to rely on these more than 10,000 people to control the capital city of Dengzhou. Moreover, the navy has long been instructed: in case of any accidents, the marines only need to control the water city. If you can't hold it, you can get on the boat and retreat, and you don't have to stick to the capital city of Dengzhou - "It's good that we haven't been here"

It may sound a bit irresponsible, but compared to the poison that Dengzhou Mansion has suffered in history, the current situation has greatly improved, as long as you think of this, there is no burden in the hearts of the people.

In addition to more than 300 short-haired troops, there are also thousands of Zheng Zhihu's subordinates stationed in Shuicheng, although the second master of the python himself actually wants to continue to go deep into the inland melee feats, but he knows his own family affairs - Zheng Jiajun is invincible at sea, but on land they are all soft-footed shrimp. Even if Boss Xie is willing to cover him, when the time comes, thousands of troops will clash, and the short-haired army itself will only have more than 2,000 people, so I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of it. Zheng Zhihu calls himself "Python Er", but his temperament is not reckless, he still stays at the beach, and it is safer to get on the boat and enter the sea at any time.

For the initiative of the Qiong Navy, those Ming envoys raised their hands in favor, but they were quite suspicious of the short hair leaving only the navy and the Zheng family army to defend Dengzhou City, and it was even more difficult to accept the bold use of surrendered troops here. Compared with the indifferent attitude of the short hair, these Ming Dynasty officials all attached great importance to the political significance of taking the lead in seizing the city, as the first officials of the Ming Dynasty to step into the nest of the rebels, they did not want to give up this great feat.

So before sending troops, that Sun Hao and Sun Taichu came to find the two of them, and talked nonsense with them for a long time, and finally revealed their intentions - this guy actually wanted the Qiongzhou army to leave him with a thousand soldiers and horses to garrison Dengzhou, saying that he could guard the back road for your army.

"If a thousand is too much, eight hundred...... Seven hundred is fine, at least not less than six hundred. This official has calculated precisely, as long as your army is willing to lend me 600 elites, this official will definitely be able to defend this Dengzhou Mansion as firmly as Mount Tai."

Looking at Sun Hao's excited face, Xie Xi Pang Yu looked at each other - this scholar of the Ming Dynasty really felt good about himself, as if it was a matter of course for them to control the army. The result of not being in the right position until now can be imagined - if it weren't for Pang Yu's desperate pull, the angry dismissal would have slapped him in the face, and finally Sun Hao crawled out of the barracks tent.

So when the Qiongzhou Army left Dengzhou and marched towards Huangxian in the southwest, only three Ming envoys continued to accompany the army - Zhou Sheng, Liao Yong, and Zhao Yi. Sun Hao fulfilled part of his wish - he was very depressed and was left to "guard the state capital" for the Ming Dynasty, although he did not have a single soldier except for a few household servants, and the short hair did not even send him a team to surrender the army.

Huang County is very close to Dengzhou Capital, only sixty or seventy miles, if you rush to march, you can reach it in one day. It was also the last large county town occupied by the Shandong rebels, and it would be difficult for the rebels to find a stronghold with a walled city as long as they captured it.

However, this time the march of the Qiong navy was very slow, because the roads here were too poor, and they had too many artillery with them this time. The five infantry companies were actually equipped with three artillery batteries, which was much higher than the normal troops. In addition, this time there was no logistical supply line, and all the ammunition, food, and supplies were carried out with the army, and hundreds of carts lined up in a long column, and they couldn't get up quickly if they wanted to.

Zhou Sheng was surprised that Shorthair actually adopted such a clumsy way of marching, and in his opinion, with the marching ability of the Qiongzhou army, it was completely possible to divide the army into two parts, and draw out an elite force to advance lightly, and it only took one day to reach the city of Huangxian to attack. With the elite and invincible firearms here, even if they can't take the county seat, the enemy army can't threaten them.

"As long as your army has four or five hundred people in a circle, even if the thief army is tens of thousands, why be so cautious?"

Faced with Zhou Sheng's question, Staff Officer Pang Yu asked rhetorically:

"For no reason, why should we send four or five hundred people into the encirclement of the enemy?"

"If most of the thieves are still in Laiwu, with the sharpness of your army, a group of 500 elite soldiers is enough to take Huangxian. At that time, there will be a county town in hand, even if you face the enemy brigade, no matter how you defend the battle, you will be in charge of me, wouldn't you be calm? If things are not harmonious, the main force of the thieves has been returned, and the 500 men of your army are in front, it will be enough to prevent the enemy from taking a step beyond the thunder pool in a day or two. When the reinforcements in the rear arrive, they can break the enemy with one drum. ”

Zhou Sheng's analysis can't be said to be unreasonable, but Pang Yu just shook his head again and again after hearing it:

"You are still in the era of cold weapons, and the tactics with the core goal of capturing the city and occupying land are not in line with our combat methods."

"Oh? What are the tactics commonly used by your army? ”

Zhou Sheng raised his eyebrows a little unconvinced, and Pang Yu smiled:

"It's very simple -- concentrate superior forces to fight a war of annihilation, and never divide troops unless necessary."

"So the hedgehogs are in a mess like this?"

Zhou Sheng looked around and shook his head slightly:

"In this way, the combat power can be guaranteed, but the action is too slow, and the goal is too obvious. If the leader of the traitors was cunning enough to avoid the sharpness of our army, and divided his forces to attack my weak points in many ways, wouldn't he be very passive? ”

Before Pang Yu could answer, Xie Xie, who heard their conversation in front of him, turned around and laughed:

"Huh, avoid Sharp? To put it lightly - we are going to Huang County, can they move the county seat? As for the weakness, this time there was no supply line at all, and all the transport convoys went with the army, where did the weakness come from - Dengzhou Capital City? If Kong Youde let his troops go around in a big circle to avoid our 2,000 people, and climb from the field to attack Dengzhou Mansion, I think his big leader will also be unstable. ”

"As far as the lower officials know, the thief army should be headed by Li Jiu, and Kong Youde is just a second-in-command."

Zhou Sheng was dumbfounded, and Liao Yong next to him wanted to find an old man to solve a small flaw to regain some face, but Xie Xi ignored it and still concluded:

"Therefore, the ability to fight head-on is fundamental, like the Ming army has repeatedly suffered losses in Liaodong, but it is not possible to fight head-on"

Zhou Sheng and the others had no choice but to laugh at this, indeed, the Qiongzhou army was extremely powerful, and more than 2,000 people were enough to defeat the main force of the rebels, and he was convinced of this now, but the rebels would not believe it. Even if there were a report from the remnants of the Dengzhou Mansion, the leaders of the bandit army would not have believed it until they had seen it with their own eyes, just as they had done in the first place as Ming officials. You will only know how powerful you will know if you have experienced it yourself, but by then you will have no time to regret it.

Therefore, the two thousand Qiongzhou troops did not collide with their heads in unison, and the most direct and most likely response from the other side was to meet them head-on. The rebels are no better than the official army, and the prestige of the leader is very important. If he is frightened by 2,000 people and abandons the city or takes a detour, then this leader will indeed not last long.

In fact, Zhou Liao and the others, as military attachés, are different from Sun Hao and other people who talk on paper, and they don't know that short-haired tactics are the most standard positive attack method. Plainly pull the troops over to fight the enemy army, and simply solve the problem...... For this terrifying army, it really doesn't make sense to storm the city, otherwise they wouldn't have to come out of Dengzhou Mansion at all. It is safest to guard that big city with peace of mind.

It's just that the hearty victory of the Qiongzhou army before brought them too much reverie - the force of this army is so strong, why is there any need to be so cautious? Even Sun Hao, a literati, dared to claim that as long as he gave him 600 short-haired troops, he could defend Dengzhou as impregnable, and martial artists like Zhou Sheng naturally had only more eagerness in their hearts.

However, they are not as confident as Sun Hao, and they dare to go directly to Shorthair. They just tried their best to persuade from the side, trying to make these generals of the short-haired army more active and flexible, and not to be so conservative. Liao Yong even said that even if only one or two hundred people were assigned to roam around to cover the perimeter, with his help and reminder, he would have enough confidence to block the enemy army and make it impossible for him to bypass from the side.

It's a pity that the Xie Pang Yu and others are very concerned about military power, and they hate any Jian Yiyi who tries to disperse their own forces. No matter how Zhou Sheng persuaded them, repeatedly pointed out that such a rigid way of marching in a group would bring a lot of convenience to the enemy's various strategies, and the shorthairs resolutely refused to let go. Turning it over and over again, it's just one sentence:

"No matter how subtle the tactics are, everything that can't be fought in the field is fake. Let him have a thousand clever plans, and I will push all the way"

…………

No matter how bad the roads are and how cumbersome the equipment is, on this Shandong Plain, the Qiong Navy will have no problem ensuring a marching speed of twenty or thirty miles a day. At noon, I asked the guide, and I expect to arrive in Huang County tomorrow.

In the afternoon of the same day, the whole army joined up with the Beiwei reconnaissance brigade, which had already gone out here to observe the enemy's movements.
