When it was agreed yesterday to annihilate Xiao Heda, everyone thought that the Xia army had been hit by the loyal and brave army many times, and had become a frightened bird, and they had been avoiding the war, and it was not easy to catch them, and if they wanted to gather and annihilate, they could only be 'golden hooks and bait to catch big fish', and in this Western Expeditionary Army, the weakest combat effectiveness was the baggage team, and only their 'third-rate' troops could arouse the interest of the Xia army, so they set the tactic of 'luring the enemy deep and flowering in the center'.

The strategy of this battle is to use the baggage team as bait to lure the Xia army to attack, and then the baggage team relies on the car formation to hold on, attracting more Xia troops, and then the ambush of the loyal and brave army on the periphery implements counter-encirclement, wrapping the Xia army in it, and the two sides make efforts to solve the Xia army. And the key to the success of this tactic is the baggage team, if the GIs protect, the Xia army found that the bones were too hard, so they did not dare to shoot; If Taimian did not wait for the Song army on the periphery to make a move, the Xia army here had already completed the task, and after killing people and grabbing things, it was not possible to rely on the protection of the Hedong army alone, and as soon as the loyal army brigade moved, the Xia army would find that this was a trap, and the most reluctant decision was made by the baggage battalion with the weakest 'combat effectiveness' as the main defensive force to attract the Xia army to take the bait, and Zhao Zhi became the main general.

Zhao Zhi didn't think it was a big deal at the time, the baggage battalion was his direct subordinate unit, although it was a logistics unit, but from the commander to the general driver and groom, they had undergone strict military training, equipped with fewer heavy weapons, and the weapons in their hands were old, but they were all water guns, and there was an advantage that other troops did not have, that is, there was plenty of ammunition, who let them do this? In order to make up for Zhao Zhi's shortcomings in command and combat experience. They helped him develop a detailed battle plan. The combat operation that the prince jokingly called 'temptation' began...

This is the case with a lot of things in the world, and 'looking' and 'doing' are two completely different things – easier said than done. Because of the actual operation, I found that there are many life-and-death details that have not been taken into account. Therefore, there are some things, only after you have really tasted them, you will know that the road is salty, and the real battlefield does not want to be as planned in the battle plan, everything is chaotic.

Zhao Zhi also quickly found out why the prince called that plan 'temptation', the perfect design in it not only tempted the enemy but also tempted himself, but now he regretted it like those charging Xia Jun, and it was too late, so he could only bite the bullet!

The soldiers hurriedly connected the carts into a formation, but they forgot about the horses that had been unsaddled. They all scooped their guns and 'crackled' at the enemy, leaving their horses to roam in the formation. Those people are even more worried, running around without a head and a brain, looking for a hidden place. If there is no car formation to stop it, it is estimated that some people can run against the hooves of the Xia army, the rain of arrows, and the materials scattered everywhere... The scene was a mess.

"Fucking these unlucky bunch scoop me as bait, if there's a mistake today, I'll have to fight them when I go back!" Zhao Zhi's face seemed to be calm, but he was still a little flustered when he looked at the Xia Jun who suddenly swarmed in, he had been fighting on the logistics front since the expansion of the loyal and brave army, and he had not been to the forefront in several major battles, so he naturally lacked some experience in facing the enemy, but now this task was given to him by the brothers after discussion. It is said that it is most appropriate for him to command the battle, not only has enough status, but also has enough experience, and is completely competent.

According to the plan, the resistance of the baggage battalion should be limited, not to fight too hard, so that the enemy army can flee, and not to allow the Xia army to break through the car formation, causing a large number of casualties and material losses, but to attract the enemy here, surround and gather annihilation. This heat is not easy to grasp, but the chaotic situation in front of him has helped Zhao Zhi, no one looks like he is pretending to be chaotic, this is a true reproduction of the original!

'Roar...' roared from the mouth of the Xia army's rider, and the galloping horses quickly surrounded him from both directions. When you get closer, you immediately release arrows into the formation of the rook formation to prevent the formation of the rook formation. The soldiers who did not have time to hide were shot and fell to the ground. …,

Although the Xia army was a little surprised that the Song army had rushed to the chariot formation, they were still very excited about the success of the ambush, and the fortifications surrounded by the chariot battle were not completely closed, only some soldiers used shields and spears to form a horse rejection array, and the arrows shot by the archers in a panic did not know where they flew away!

"General, the Xia army has 3,000 cavalry, killing from the southeast and northwest intersections, forming an encirclement of us, and now our army's vehicle formation is basically completed, please instruct the next move!" Song Gang, commander of the baggage battalion, reported.

"Keeping the enemy out of the car formation, we must not let them break through the defensive circle!" Zhao Zhi looked at the prototype car formation and ordered, but he was also sweating in his heart.

The Xia army still uses the old tactics, keeps riding around the formation, and shoots a rain of arrows after approaching, if there is a loophole in the Song army's formation, immediately accelerate the rush to the formation, the ninth general is Zhang Lan Zhidao This situation is the most critical, the big array has not yet been consolidated, the soldiers are still in a panic, once a place is broken through by the Xia army, it will not be able to clean up, so he personally stepped forward to supervise the battle, while ordering the archers to scatter to prevent the Xia army from approaching, and at the same time ordering the foot soldiers to form a formation in front of the formation, first stop the Xia army's attack.

The baffle of the carriage was opened one by one, and then everyone found that it was not filled with grain and grass materials, but hidden heavily armed soldiers, these people looked at the armbands and knew that the road was the personal guard of the dragon general and the leopard general, it turned out that Zhao Zhi also left a hand, and the baggage battalion was originally only more than 500 people, in order to prevent accidents, he asked half of the guards of Gao Pet and Zhao Yan to come over as 'thugs', and those two were also willing to help, and they immediately came in handy at this time...

'Bang bang...' A burst of gunfire rang out, and the Xia army riders fell down several times, which frightened them a lot, and immediately hit their horses backwards, although they did not retreat, but the circle was enlarged a lot? p>?p>

"Rush, don't stop, the Loyal Brigade is far away, and there are not many people here!" Xiao Heda was stunned for a moment, and he had already found that although the Song army in the car formation had firearms, there were not many of them, and they were not enough to pose a big threat to them, so he immediately urged the army to continue the attack.

Xiao Heda took the lead and rode his horse towards the chariot array, and the Xia army heard the order and quickly launched again to surround the Song army in the center of the battlefield, and then launched an attack from all angles, intending to encircle and annihilate the Song army. The two sides entered a melee at once, the distance was too close, although the Song army relied on the cart to shoot, but in the absence of machine guns and artillery, their firepower was much weaker, and it was difficult to form an absolute advantage over the crazy attack of the Xia army.

After paying a certain amount of casualties, Xia Jun rushed to the front of the car formation with his horse, and the situation suddenly became tense. The height of the cart could reach seven feet, and the horses could not jump over it under any circumstances, and the Xia army riders rushed to the front and stood on the saddle, and at the moment they hit the carriage, they threw themselves on the roof of the carriage and jumped into the formation, and the carriage was also skewed by the out-of-control horses; The Xia soldiers, who rushed to the gap in the carriage, simply urged the seat to dismount, trying to jump over the low horse blocking pile, although the success rate was not high, most of them were stabbed to death by spears, but someone still managed to break through, knocked the horse rejection formation away, and also rushed in.

"I'm still fucking afraid of scaring Xia Jun away, if it goes on like this, Lao Tzu will see the king of Hades first!" Zhao Zhi was so angry in his heart, how could he faint and relieve such a drudgery, "Ma Liu, you immediately lead people to plug the gap, Yang Qing reinforces the southeast car formation, Commander Zhang makes you lead your troops to expel the Xia army who entered the car formation, and the king is Bo You choose the young and strong to use the grain bags and the wooden stakes to strengthen the car formation!" Zhao Zhi couldn't care less, so he pressed all the reserves in his hand, and after a fierce battle, he withstood the first wave of attacks by the Xia army.

"My lord, although the thief army has retreated, but our reinforcements will have to wait for a while, if the thief army attacks with fire, we are all flammable, once the fire starts, it will be a catastrophe, and we must prepare early!" Zhao Zhi just breathed a sigh of relief, ordered people to strengthen the vigilance, renovate the fortifications, and prepare to fight again, he made up his mind next time, but he could not let the enemy approach the car formation, at least control the distance to fifty steps away, otherwise it would be too dangerous, at this time an old man came over and said to him. …,

"Uncle, how did you know that there would be reinforcements in Ludao, who told you that?" Zhao Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked up and down at the old man in front of him and said, I saw that this person was of medium height, although the clothes on his body were old, but they were neat and clean, and his feet were not like other people who were barefoot or barefoot, but wore a pair of old official boots, and he was in his fifties, slightly old, but he could also see that he was a beautiful man when he was young.

"Hehe, my lord, when you suddenly arrived in the morning, I found out that there was something wrong, and when the Xia army came, I knew that this was an adult's strategy, using the baggage as bait to lure the enemy to attack, and no one told the old man!" The old man still saluted, but his words were neither humble nor arrogant.

"Lord Wang, who is this person?" Zhao Zhi was taken aback when he heard this, this old man only knew his intentions through his own observations, and his insight was by no means something ordinary people could have, so he hurriedly asked the king on the side.

"General, this person is a civilian man who was recruited from Fenyang, and the lower official saw that he could read and write and write, so he asked him to temporarily serve as the secretary and assist the lower official on business!" Wang Yi, the chief bookkeeper of the Jinning Army, hurriedly replied.

"Oh, I didn't expect that there are also capable people in this countryside, my husband knows about it, remember not to spread it!" Zhao Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Then what does the old man think about the Xia army's attack?" ”

"Don't dare, we are surrounded in the valley, far away from the water source, can't extinguish it, it's a big disaster, now you can prepare sandbags of soil, cover the grain and grass with sand, you can set fire, even once the fire starts, you can also use sandbags to bury it, even if there is a fire, it is difficult to cause a catastrophe!" The old man replied.

"Well, it's a good idea, do you have any other suggestions?" Zhao Zhi listened to his reasonableness, immediately arranged for someone to do it, asked the old man to sit down and asked.

"The army expedition, thousands of miles of food, in fact, is a move to work the people and hurt money, in fact, adults can have a variety of ways to solve, now the autumn harvest is imminent, we can let the army carry silver money to buy grain on the spot, you can also use grain on the spot to replace taxes, local grain collection; If there is a shortage of grain in front, but the city of Yanzhou is about to be broken, and green and white salt is produced there, you can use salt money as a guide to let the caravan transport grain for salt, and its cost will be lower than that of requisitioning and dispatching people to transport grain; In addition, there are many rivers here, the water is gentle, and we can use a boat to transport grain, which is better than picking horses and packs! The old man was not polite, and told Zhao Zhi eloquently... (To be continued.)
