Waiting for Bai Zhonghai to leave, Zheng Jing's breathing became short, "Hmm, you guys, what should I do?" ”

"Rescue will not be done until dawn." After coming to Zhengjiazhuang for a few years, he is still a mouthful of Northeast flavor Tian Shubang with a big waist and a round waist, and his face is full of meat, as if he has practiced the Thirteen Taibao horizontal exercises, "The enemy situation is unknown, we send troops at night, and it is easy to encounter ambushes." ”

"First of all, which one might they be?" Zheng Jing was very worried that it was the Mengshan thief that his son said, but he always suspected in his heart that he was holding a calf to take revenge.

"Master, it doesn't matter which fucking share, let's be as immobile as a mountain! With more than 600 fast guns in our hands, as many thieves come and die! As long as our Zhengjiazhuang is safe and sound. "Captain Zhuang Ding, Zheng Jing's cousin Zheng Zhong has a different attitude.

"However, if the thief breaks Bai Wei and takes a handful of it and leaves, it will be very detrimental to the reputation of the master." Tian Shubang is already Zheng Jing's henchman, and he knows Zheng Jing's thoughts.

Zheng Jing gasped and took turns looking at the two. If it is really as Tian Shubang said, the thief broke Bai Wei, it would indeed be a big blow to his reputation. However, he was worried that he would be ambushed at night, so he struggled very much in his heart, and finally made a decision, first gathered the team, and when it was dawn, he immediately dispatched three teams led by Tian Jiaotou to reinforce Baiwei Town.

This decision was not told to Bai Zhonghai, who came to ask for help. Zheng Jing ordered the messenger of Bai Wei who was waiting outside to be called, and said to him with a straight face, The situation of the thief is unknown, and my township soldiers cannot come out lightly. Who made you Xiao Zhuang refuse to join forces with me? Since he refuses to join forces with me, then Lord Xiao Zhuang naturally has a strategy for self-preservation.

This decision naturally disappointed Bai Zhonghai, who asked for help, this person was loyal, and seeing that he couldn't impress Zheng Jing, he left Zhengjiazhuang crying and went back to Baiwei Town to resume his life.

Zheng Jing watched indifferently as Bai Zhonghai walked out of the courtyard. The wind was blowing at night, and the lanterns hanging at the entrance of the courtyard kept shaking. He was not afraid of offending Xiao Guanyu, and when his reinforcements appeared in Bai Wei tomorrow morning, Xiao Guanyu would be too late to thank him. What if Bai Wei is beaten down by thieves tonight? I can't blame myself for that. If Xiao Guanyu died at the hands of thieves, it would be even more beneficial and harmless to Zheng Jing's unification of Sanzhuang.

The reason why he lied to Bai Zhonghai was that Zheng Jing had another layer of consideration. Although he didn't have much military experience, he still expected another possibility, that is, if this person fell into the hands of the thieves in the village, not only would he not recruit the real plan of Zhengjiazhuang, but he would also deceive the thieves.

"The master is clever." Tian Shubang praised, "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, and we happened to be surprised." Just in case Bai Wei can't hold __"

"Hmph, which temple doesn't have a ghost who died in it? Anyway, he Xiao Guanyu also has 300 villages, and it shouldn't be a problem to rely on the wall to guard the middle of the night. If I can't hold it, I don't need such an incompetent alliance. Zheng Jing's face looked eerie under the light of the candles.

The people who sent Bai Wei away, Zheng Jing thought of another layer, that is, to send someone to interrogate Chen Jiaya. Bai Wei was too far away from here to hear the movement at all, if there was a gunshot in Zhengjiazhuang, there was no need to send someone to deliver the letter, Chen Jiaya would definitely be able to hear it.

Chen Jiaya has more than 100 village soldiers, and the weapons are also poor, if it is against Mengshanzhai or the team holding the calf, there is really not much to expect. Although he can't look down on Chen Chao's hypocrisy and hypocrisy, Chen Jiaya under his nose can't make any mistakes, which makes Mrs. Zheng lose face.

As for the government, the nearest prefecture and county are also a hundred miles away, and except for Lord Yuan's new army, those green battalions don't dare to fight against the big Xiangma at all, so they can't be counted on.

Zheng Jing issued an order, the gong of the alarm sounded "Dangdang", and the sleeping township soldiers came out of their respective homes in a mess and gathered in front of the Zheng family ancestral hall. The township soldiers in Zhengjiazhuang were still organized, and they were divided into five teams, each with 100 people. According to the meaning of Mrs. Zheng, Zheng Zhong ordered the 1st~3rd teams to prepare for reinforcements, and the remaining two teams stayed in Zhuangzi.

The three teams with the top three numbers were sent to help because these three teams took a long time to form. The combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the 4th and 5th teams. Among them, the second team is not the aborigines of Zhengjiazhuang, but the refugees who have been displaced here in recent years, and the combat effectiveness is the strongest.

"Children," Zheng Jing carried out his battle mobilization with a civilized stick, "The thieves who came out of nowhere surrounded Bai Wei, his grandmother's, I really don't know whether to live or die!" If you don't give them a good look, the ringing horses around you don't know that the prince of the horse has three eyes on his head! I decide! If you want to do it, do it ruthlessly! Go for four teams instead of three! Kill all the thieves in one go! Tomorrow, the third watch will eat, and the fourth watch will set off, and he will be caught off guard. This time to rescue Bai Wei, all the reward from the government belongs to you, and I don't want any money, master. If you win, I have another reward! A first-level reward of five taels of silver, come back and cash out! ”

Zheng Zhong and Tian Shubang exchanged a look that they could understand each other, how could they say that they would change immediately? Zheng Zhong leaned over and whispered in the ear of the old lady Zheng Jing, "Isn't it a little too little to leave only one team?" In case __"

"Where are so many whatevers?" Zheng Jing disagreed, "At the beginning, the township Yongfu was able to defeat more than a thousand bandits holding calves, and the strength of today's township soldiers is extraordinary, a hundred guns are guarding the wall, where can the thieves come in?" What's more, if you exterminate the thieves who have fallen into the attack, Zhengjiazhuang will naturally be a rock. It is enough to leave a team. ”

In Zhengjiazhuang, the words of Zheng Jing are holy decrees. So it was decided to send 1~4 teams to rescue Baiwei Town, leaving the 5th team to guard Zhuangzi.

Zheng Jing's consideration is not unreasonable, since the thief is in Baiwei, and the enemy situation is unknown, it is natural to send more people to take the lead.

At this moment, it was still early, and the four township soldiers who were preparing to go out were disbanded and rested, all the weapons and ammunition were distributed, and the fifth team went to the wall. There was nothing to say for a night, and in the early hours of the morning, Zheng Zhong and Tian Shubang quietly left Zhengjiazhuang with four township soldiers, and followed the road to Bai Wei.

﹍﹍

The siege of Baiwei Town was naturally the Mengshan Army. The core of Long Qian's plan to attack Zhengjiazhuang was to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and transfer the well-equipped villagers of Zhengjiazhuang to eliminate them in the wild. Relying on his own 300 elite soldiers may be able to open the soil enclosure of Zhengjiazhuang, but the casualties will not be small, these 300 strictly trained elite soldiers are the capital of their own career, and they cannot be injured in the first battle out of the mountain.

Which point is around? It can only be Bai Wei and not Chen Jiaya. Because Chenjiaya is too close to Zhengjiazhuang, it is impossible to arrange the battlefield. In fact, when Long Qian and Jiang Yun reconnoitred Sanzhuang on the spot, the overall plan was formed. Bai Wei and Zhengjiazhuang are twenty-five miles apart, and the hills are undulating during this period, which is enough to ambush the army. Long Qian believed that as long as Zheng Jing's township soldiers came out and fought in the field, he had no intention of calculating or not, and relying on three companies was enough to defeat him.

Long Qian calculated that it was impossible for Zheng Jing to send all the people out, at most four teams, and even more likely three. Therefore, Long Qian's arrangement was to surround Bai Wei with Wang Mingyuan's second company and Feng Lun's third company, bluffing. After alarming Zhengjiazhuang, the second company arranged on the west side of Bai Wei was quietly withdrawn to join the ambush circle, leaving only Feng Lun's third company to monitor Bai Wei Town. As for Chen Jiaya, Long Qian only sent Chi Chunxian's cavalry team to monitor it, Long Qian estimated that Chen Jiaya would not rush to the rescue, and that side could not be considered for the time being, and when Zheng Jiazhuang was finished, Chen Jiaya would go down immediately, and there was no need to compromise each other's manpower, and it would be good to meet Chen Chao and Chen Yuezhi who had a lot of conversations in the future.

The main battlefield was set up on a gentle slope five miles away from Bai Wei, and there were woods on both sides to ambush the troops, and Ye Yanbing's first company, Lushan's fifth company and Wang Mingyuan's second company were ambushed on both sides of the avenue, in order to defeat Zhengjiazhuang's reinforcements in one fell swoop. The fourth company (one squad owed) that controls the feudal pillar is the general reserve, and will undertake the task of intercepting the defeated soldiers returning to the village. If the battle goes well, he will lead four companies to raid Zhengjiazhuang as a defeated soldier and take advantage of the situation to take Zhuangzi.

The core of the plan is to destroy the enemy in the field and never attack the wall. At present, the Mengshan army lacks weapons to attack fortified positions, and its training in this area is also not in place.

The early operations of the second and third companies were carried out according to the plan, but the third company encountered a small group of village soldiers patrolling the village when they entered the high ground on the northeast side of Baiwei Town, and the battle broke out in an instant, and the patrol team composed of five people was killed three of them in one face, and the remaining two fled back to Zhuangzi, and the three companies did not suffer any casualties. The three companies took advantage of the situation to enter the outer trench of the Bai Wei wall, and suppressed the township soldiers who had been on the wall with rifles across the trench that was more than one person deep, and the township soldiers in the dark could not figure out how many people and horses there were, and sure enough, as predicted in advance, the township soldiers of Bai Wei did not dare to rush out of the village, and could only rely on the wall to shoot indiscriminately. After firing for a while, the villagers kept being shot, and only one of the three companies was injured - in the shoulder, and there was no fear for life. The second company was unscathed.

It was Feng Lun, not Wang Mingyuan, who was in charge of besieging Bai Wei. The second company was on the other side, Feng Lun took a platoon to the second company to replace Wang Mingyuan after settling the east, the two met, Wang Mingyuan told Feng Lun that two people had slipped out of the village and went west, probably to Zhengjiazhuang to report the news - everything was expected by the commander.

At this time, Feng Lun put forward an opinion, "Bai Wei is not beaten!" The wall on the east side is not high, and the ditch is dry, so it is easy to pass! We can totally climb up! As long as the sharpshooters hold them down! ”

The sharpshooter team dialed four to follow Feng Lun, so Feng Lun said this.

"Beat Bai Wei?" Wang Mingyuan also noticed that Bai Wei's resistance was very weak, not like there were three hundred guns, "The commander's order is to besiege rather than attack, in case Zhengjiazhuang learns that Bai Wei has been defeated, they will not come to the rescue." ”

"You sent the letter just now. We have blocked the road, how does he know the way? Feng Lun was excited by the plan to open Bai Wei, "We already have few troops, once we open Bai Wei, we can free up all our forces to deal with Zhengjiazhuang, isn't it great?" ”

Sounds good. Wang Mingyuan immediately agreed with this plan. When Commander Long taught his group of officers, he repeatedly talked about improvisation: On the premise of carrying out the overall strategic task, it is necessary to flexibly apply tactics according to the situation on the battlefield and the progress of the battle. Don't be rigid in carrying out tasks pre-assigned by superiors without knowing how to do so.

The situation in front of him seems to prove that Feng Lun's idea is right: Bai Wei's walled wall is not high, and in the first situation, the township soldiers' will to fight is very poor, hiding on the walled wall and indiscriminately placing guns, basically posing no threat to the troops__Commander Long's order is to besiege Bai Wei, alarm Zhengjiazhuang, and then leave the third company, and bring the second company to join the main battlefield__At present, it seems that the first step of the task has been achieved. However, there are also potential dangers, there are only 60 people in the third company, and it is impossible to surround such a large village, so you can only bluff to seal the walled gate, Bai Wei has three walled gates, and Commander Long is very accurate in reconnaissance, if there are 20 people on each walled gate, the troops will be too weak, and the enemy will easily break through the blockade as long as he concentrates his forces, whether it is to Zhengjiazhuang or Chenjiaya, it will bring serious consequences. However, if Bai Wei is solved immediately, the situation will be completely different__

Wang Mingyuan thought for a few minutes and then made a decision, "It's done!" He had already observed the wall at dusk, and it was possible to climb it by a human ladder, and he had found two places that were more suitable for climbing, "Do it!" You go back and organize a feint. He and Feng Lun already fully understood the meaning of this word, Commander Long said it well, fighting depends on strength, but deception runs throughout, and those who don't know how to use stratagem to deceive their opponents will never be a good general, "I will fight the main attack and enter from here." When my side succeeds, you will also enter the village. We have to move fiercely, we can't afford time, and we still have to support the main battlefield. ”

Feng Lun didn't think so, because he found a flaw in the defense in the east - the second and third companies entered the battlefield at dusk, the first thing was of course to observe, and the two company commanders found the defensive weaknesses in their respective areas of responsibility, "Old Feng, don't fight, it's a matter of priority." Go back quickly, and make a siege of the city. ”

"Okay." Feng Lun turned around and left. Although he and Wang Mingyuan are at the same level, no one knows Long Qian's importance to Wang Mingyuan, there was originally Lu Shan, but Lu Shan made a detour and was demoted, and only recently returned to the position of company commander, Feng Lun was unwilling to compete with Wang Mingyuan, and was willing to be a "green leaf".

Long Qian's arrangement for the first battle of the Mengshan army out of the mountain was problematic, that is, he did not determine the chief officer in the direction of Bai Wei, which did not seem to blame him, because his plan was to alarm the enemy, and the second company was immediately transferred away, but Feng Lun's temporary change brought great variables to this battle with fewer blows and more blows.
