The changeable Zheng Jing once again changed his plan.

After making up his mind to reinforce Bai Wei and completing the pre-war mobilization, Zheng Jing returned to his house with Zheng Zhong and Tian Shubang.

I couldn't sleep, Zheng Jing kept pacing in the room, Tian and Zheng didn't dare to say anything, looking at the owner who kept turning circles on the ground.

"Soldiers, you are fast! Now that you have decided to rescue, you have to hurry! Assemble your team and kill it! The thieves were caught off guard! After twenty turns on the floor of the hall, Zheng Jing made a decision again.

Tian Shubang and Zheng Zhong looked at each other. That's getting faster, isn't it?

"Fuck, go!" Zheng Jing stomped his feet and yelled at the two.

Half an hour later, the disbanded Zhuang Ding team gathered again, Tian Shubang took the lead, Zheng Zhong was postponed, and 400 people left Zhengjiazhuang and went straight to Bai Wei.

Tian Shubang was born with a beard outside the gates, but his hometown is from Shandong. My grandfather's generation drifted from the sea to Yingkou and landed in the eastern part of Jilin, and finally settled in eastern Jilin. Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always adopted the policy of prohibiting Han people from going out of the customs to earn a living, and the Manchus continued to enter the customs, which led to the sparsely populated areas and bandits outside the Guan, especially in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. Walking from Liaoxi to Shenyang, most of the villages named after shacks along the way, Weijia shacks, Li family shacks, their roots are often traces of a certain Shandong old guest breaking into the east of the country, and the village is named after the surname of the first person who settled down. Tian Shubang's grandfather did not settle down in Fengtian, but went all the way east into the more desolate Jilin to settle down. He became a farmer in the field of farming. By his father's generation, the Tian family was already a well-known landlord, and he also opened a large-scale oil mill, and soybean oil extraction brought a lot of money to the Tian family. When Tian Shubang was twenty years old, the village was ransacked by the beard, his father was kidnapped, the family went bankrupt to scrape together money to redeem people, and died of illness less than a month after returning home. The death of his father and the decline of the family led to the change of his life, his nature is adventurous and unwilling to live a step-by-step life, he threw his beard in a horizontal way, and a few years later became the second shopkeeper, with the team to wash the beard of the kidnapping of his father, the result was a bad reputation on the Kanto Road, several big locks threatened to ask for his head, Tian Shubang simply ran back to the Guannei, after several twists and turns, Tian Shubang fell to Lunan, with a martial arts and superb marksmanship became the head coach and deputy captain of the Zheng Jing Zhuang Ding team, and also married his wife in Zhengjiazhuang and settled down.

Talking about this is to tell readers that the biggest difference between Tian Shubang and Zheng Zhong is that his experience is very complicated, this person has seen blood and killed people.

Tian Shubang took the lead with 2 teams and went straight to Bai Wei along the main road. As mentioned earlier, the members of the 2nd team are all outsiders, some mercenaries, these homeless people were taken in by Zhengjiazhuang and acted as village soldiers, showing a more courageous temperament than the people of Benzhuang, they may be out of the psychology of being outsiders, and they are more willing to accept the command of Tian Jiaotou. This time to aid Bai Wei, Tian Shubang naturally used the 2 teams as forwards.

Tian Shubang did not ride a horse, although Zheng Jing equipped him with a war horse. Tian Shubang firmly believed that since Xiangma dared to attack Bai Wei's idea, he would definitely set up an ambush on the avenue to deal with the reinforcements in the direction of Zhengjiazhuang. Then the danger of riding a horse would be too great.

Tian Shubang believed that the thieves who invaded Bai Wei came from holding calves and not from some Mengshan cottage. Three years ago, he suffered a huge loss in Zhengjiazhuang, and according to the character of the bandits, it was impossible not to find the field, and it was difficult for them to endure it for three years. Attacking Bai Wei is a typical strategy to attack the east and west, the thieves have already known that Zhengjiazhuang's soldiers are strong and strong, and they have also suffered the loss of the Sanzhuang Alliance, this time they will go out of the mountain to take revenge, and they will naturally plan properly, called attacking Bai Wei, and actually plotting Zhengjiazhuang, in Tian Shubang's opinion, it is the best strategy.

This is a very simple question, but Zheng Jing can't see it. It was right to rescue Bai Wei, and Tian Shubang even took the initiative to remind Zheng Jing to consider the consequences of this matter. But Tian Shubang did not approve of going to the aid overnight because it was too dangerous.

He knew that the Zhuang Ding he trained was more than enough to defend the village, but the field battle was insufficient, let alone the night field battle?

But Zheng Jing's order could not be disobeyed, so Tian Shubang led the team to walk seven or eight miles along the main road, and ordered the 2nd team to turn onto a small road in the south. He waited for Zheng Zhong, who had been detained, to come up and explain the reasons for doing so. It is recommended that the brigade abandon the main road and take the small road, and fight the thieves unguarded.

This is the advantage of the locals, although the hills are vertical and horizontal, the mountain roads are rugged, but the roads are familiar, and they are by no means comparable to the foreign thieves.

Halfway through the journey, the gunshots in the direction of Bai Wei could already be heard in the silent night, Zheng Zhong was a little anxious, and disagreed with Tian Shubang's suggestion to take the path to Bai Wei, and at the same time was a little dissatisfied with Tian Shubang's first cut and then played, because the 2nd team had already gone on the path, "Lao Tian, saving people is like fighting fire, our four hundred people have been rushing along the avenue, how many thieves can stop it?" Why bother dividing the troops? ”

"The four teams are huddled together, and they can't show their strength at all, and if the thieves are good at fighting, and there are 100 foreign guns on both sides, we will suffer a great loss. In my opinion, it is better for the brigade to take the trail, leaving one team to pass steadily along the main road, and if it encounters the enemy, it can be foolproof if it occupies the terrain on the spot to resist. ”

Zheng Zhong disagreed, "Since Team 2 has already taken the path, then you can take them on the path." I led three teams to reinforce along the main road, this road that can pass large vehicles, even at night, one and a half hours is enough to run to Zhengjiazhuang, even if there are thieves to intercept, with 300 foreign guns, it is enough to deal with it. With that, the team that had stopped continued to move forward.

Tian Shubang knew that Zheng Zhong was competing with himself. Zheng Jing relied on himself militarily to surpass Zheng Zhong, which had already caused dissatisfaction with this guy, this time he invited the war thieves, Zheng Zhong must have the intention of making a meritorious contribution, because Zheng Zhong is the captain, and the 1st, 3rd, and 4th teams are all the children of Zheng Jiazhuang, and they can't compete with him, and they want him to suffer a little, so the two of them divided their troops, Zheng Zhong took the main force to take the main road, and Tian Shubang took more than 100 people to take the small road.

Tian Shubang walked all the way in front of the team, walking very fast, urging the minions to follow from time to time. He was familiar with the road, and even at night, it was clear which was the ditch and where the slope was. They walked along a ditch that was an extension of the ditch that separates Zhengjiazhuang and Chenjiaya—the mark left on the land by flooding in ancient times. The general direction is to the southeast, the ditch is in the north of them, Tian Shubang's team turned into a small road at the fork in the road with Zheng Zhong's division of troops, crossed the deep ditch and walked to the other side, the current situation is that the township soldiers from Zhengjiazhuang are divided into two teams, and they are advancing towards Bai Wei across a deep ditch. Of course, Zheng Zhong's speed is faster than Tian Shubang, because his team is taking the big road.

Tian Shubang took the small road reinforcements out of a precautionary mentality, and it was based on the premise that the distant Xiangma was not familiar with the terrain. What he didn't expect was that Long Qian and Jiang Yun had been in this area for several days, and this path Long Qian and Jiang Yun had personally explored. Now, Lu Shan's fifth company was lying in ambush on the hillside on the south side of the trail, and by the bright last quarter moon, Lu Shan clearly saw the long line drawn by the villagers.

The task of the fifth company is to get to the bottom of it. He wanted to wait for all the reinforcements to pass through the fork in the road connected to the main road and occupy the fork in the road, block the only way for the reinforcements to return to Zhengjiazhuang, close the floodgates, and achieve Long Qian's goal of annihilating the reinforcements from Zhengjiazhuang.

When he was studying and formulating a plan to capture Sanzhuang in Mengshan, Long Qian repeatedly told the company commanders about the terrain of the planned battlefield. Long Qian judged that the reinforcements should be 300 people, that is, the three teams of Zhengjiazhuang Zhuang Ding, although he had not seen Zheng Jing, but judging from Zheng Jing's experience and age, Zheng Jing would leave 200 people to guard the village. The Mengshan army was put into battle with four companies, which sounded like a lot, but the large number was less than two hundred and fifty people, but if it fought on the selected battlefield, the terrain would increase the strength of the Mengshan army, and with the trust in the elite soldiers he had trained single-handedly, Long Qian was determined to annihilate the main force of Zhengjiazhuang in one battle. Lay the foundation for the smooth opening of Zhengjiazhuang.

Long Qian's plan was to use Ye Yanbing's company as a frontal blocker, the position was carefully chosen, Long Qian personally arranged Ye Yanbing's blocking position, using a big bend in the avenue, ambushed the company on the northwest slope of the avenue, this hillside has woods to cover, most of the people of Xu Gongzhi's sharpshooter team are assigned to the first company, Long Qian believes that with Ye Yanbing and Xu Gongzhi, it is enough to block Zhengjiazhuang's reinforcements at the front of the position, and Wang Mingyuan's second company will follow another road after withdrawing from Bai Wei, That is, now Tian Shubang led the township soldiers to reinforce Bai Wei's path, and went around to the flank of the township soldier brigade that was blocked on the main road to attack. Wang Mingyuan and Lushan formed the south and west sides of the encirclement of the township soldiers. Long Qian still has the fourth company of the sealing pillar in his hand, the position of this company is two miles west of Ye Yanbing, the fourth company will quietly let go of the township soldier brigade, and wait for the first company to start the blockade, and slam it from the northern slope to form the north of the encirclement.

Long Qian calculated the way and speed of the township soldiers' march, and according to the width of the main road, Long Qian believed that the township soldiers would advance in two columns, and three hundred people would pull out a column of one to one and a half miles. For specific tactics, Long Qian also made specific regulations, that is, after three to five rounds of firing from the platoon gun, immediately launch a white-knuckle charge and use melee to solve the opponent.

This is also something that cannot be helped, because the Mengshan army has very little ammunition.

Long Qian judged that when the villagers suffered heavy casualties from the platoon guns and found themselves surrounded on all sides, the will to fight would quickly collapse, and the entire ambush battle would end in half an hour. Due to the annihilation of the main force of the township soldiers and the appearance of a large number of prisoners. Next, he planned to use the captives to break the will of the guards of Zhengjiazhuang, so as to achieve the goal of taking Zhengjiazhuang without attacking the city.

Of course, Long Qian stressed in the end that all companies must make decisions that are most in line with the battlefield situation in light of the actual situation, and must not stubbornly adhere to orders without knowing how to change them. But it was this exhortation that made the first battle of the Mengshan army out of the mountain completely different from the scheduled battle plan.

Now the situation seems to be out of control. First, the feint attack on Bai Wei Town turned into a real attack, not only did the second company not enter the ambush position as planned, but even the fourth company was dragged into Bai Wei. If Bai Wei cannot be solved quickly, the worst will happen, and nine times out of ten, the Mengshan army will manage to break through. If that happens, the well-trained and reorganized team of ringing horses is likely to collapse. Therefore, as soon as Long Qian heard that the second and third companies had launched a real attack on Bai Wei, he was very anxious, and immediately led the fourth company to run into the battlefield.

Fortunately, there was no worst Although Bai Wei was taken, the big stone that pressed on Long Qian's heart did not move away, what he was most worried about was that the reinforcements of Zhengjiazhuang retracted to Zhuangzi after hearing that Bai Wei had fallen, and the Mengshan army, which lacked heavy firepower, was unable to open Zhengjiazhuang with a deep ditch and high base, and the actual situation was that the bullets of the Mengshan army were already very few, which was the helplessness of Long Qian having to design a field ambush.

Long Qian was dissatisfied with Wang Mingyuan and Feng Lun's unauthorized change of plans, but this was not the time to blame and criticize, and fortunately, Bai Wei was opened, and the ammunition and grain would be replenished. However, the key to attacking Zhengjiazhuang and other three villages is Zhengjiazhuang, if Zhengjiazhuang cannot be taken, Bai Wei will not be able to defend it, and it is not possible for the Mengshan army to return to Mengshan, and the ammunition will be exhausted and cannot be replenished, and the government will be alarmed, how to deal with it?

Therefore, Long Qian's heart tightened again when he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the ambush position in the west, and he had to control the changing situation in the most desired state.
