Tang County is located in the southwest of Baoding, at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, close to Damao Mountain, that is, Beiyue Heng Mountain at this time. This place has always been said to be "seven points of mountains, one point of water, two points of land", the county is mostly mountainous, and it is not suitable for cavalry combat. Because of the specialty granite and marble, it is more favored by the Ministry of Industry.

"The location is favorable, and it is obviously impossible for the Mongol Tatars to capture Tang County." Wang Yi stood in front of the improvised map, and pointed at the circled cavalry garrisons and ambush points: "These places immediately send scouts and horses to investigate, especially the garrison points, if necessary, they can directly destroy the water source." ”

The staff officers looked at each other when they heard this, and said secretly: Do you really want to come?

Wang Yi glanced around and said, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

In the staff corps, although the rank of staff officer is the same, the status of operational staff officer is higher. Staff Officer Zhang said: "The night battle of the Tartars is not as good as our army, if we can find out where they are stationed, we can attack and harass them with light troops." ”

This is the data compiled by the General Staff. The rate of night blindness in the Mongol and Manchu armies was much higher than that of the Ming armies, and even higher than that of the Han army. If you take into account the differences in eating habits between different ethnic groups, this data is still very convincing.

Wang Yi nodded and said, "There is." ”

The staff officers stared at the map, wondering what else the chief officer wanted to hear.

Wang Yi waited for a while and asked, "Why do the Mongolian Tatars want to come to Beizhi?" ”

A staff officer's face turned green.

- Isn't it all your imagination!

They shouted in their hearts.

Wang Yi didn't have this consciousness, and said to himself: "I thought that this was the second time that Donglu and Mengtar joined forces. Put it in front of you, just to keep Baoding. So this Mongol Tartar will not come to attack the city, and they don't have that ability. I thought they were out of the mountains. It will inevitably be reduced to zero, and harassing our army's food supply is the goal. ”

In this way, it can not only hit the morale of the Ming army on the front line, but also feed the war with war and plunder wealth. This is in line with the Mongols' war mentality. At that time, Meng Yuan occupied the world, and he did not think about developing cities, but hoped to turn the entire land of China into pastures. This is the result of its national character.

The staff officers nodded slightly, indicating that this was an outrageous design. If it is said that an army of 3 or 5,000 Mengtars came to fight Tang County with siege equipment, this is even more unreliable than the legend of Zhiwei.

"So we not only have to defend Tang County, but more importantly, we don't let them disperse at will, otherwise it will be more difficult to clear the Tartar rebellion in the land of Beizhi in the future." Wang Yi said: "What advice do the gentlemen have on this point?" ”

"Mr. Bai," Staff Officer Zhang couldn't help but say, "There are some problems with this drill setting. The actual combat strength of our army is only 100 or so strong, and it is impossible to face the enemy of 3,500 people head-on in any case. ”

"If the setting is always our army superior. So why do you need to rehearse? Wang Yi looked at him with a strange gaze: "You have all read the book of war. What is the difference between a famous general and a mediocre general? A mediocre general can only win a battle that must be won, but a famous general can play a beautiful victory in a desperate situation! ”

Most of the staff officers are more rational and are unlikely to be conquered by Wang Yi's half-baked theory of famous generals.

"Set off with the whole army and go into the mountains to practice!" Wang Yi said: "Staff Officer Zhang, inform Zhou Xundao to lead the township bravery, patrol inspection, and police to arrange the city defense to prevent the Mengtar from stealing the city." ”

Staff Officer Zhang reluctantly agreed.

Although the staff officers felt that the chief officer was making a bit of a fuss and that the fire that had taken office was in the wrong place, as long as the military discussion was held. Everything is documented, even if it is a drill order, it cannot be disobeyed. The military judge will also supervise the drill. If there is a case of desertion, cowardice, or disobedience to military orders, it will also be dealt with in wartime regulations.

When Wang Yi went out, he glanced at the military judges and found that all the military judges had gloomy faces, did not speak, did not interact with others, and did not establish personal relationships. They are like robots that only know how to obey orders. It is said that this is all due to Wu Changchun's unkind mental training. Let them be proud of restoring the Great Qin system, only recognize military law, and do not know their personal feelings.

In contrast, Wang Yi preferred the army of the Han Dynasty, with Li Guang. There is Huo Quai, galloping across the vast world, that is the world of military generals. Nowadays, this kind of battle in which everyone is lined up to hedge forward is really boring, and it is no surprise that the army with iron discipline and high morale always wins.

Now the Manchus have not yet learned how to list the phalanxes, and they still use horizontal arrays. What if the Manchus also learned the phalanx? What if the Manchus also learned the firecracker? Could it be that when two armies meet, they line up to shoot at each other? How stupid this must be!

- The battle should not be fought like this! I haven't figured out how to fight yet.

Wang Yi thought as he walked, and his thoughts returned to the mandarin duck array. Now the firecracker is mainly allocated to the phalanx soldiers, and the mandarin duck soldiers are still the main killers, only equipped with cold weapons. If the Mandarin Duck Array returns to the configuration of Qi Jiguang's time, with more than half of the firearms, it will be very powerful.

Wang Yi, who has been baptized in actual combat, also knows that if the enemy cannot be defeated with a firearm, then after receiving the enemy, the mandarin duck array will have no ability to protect itself.

- I don't know how Lu Dao uses a fast gun.

Wang Yi remembered a weapon that was not favored by the soldiers of the Ming army. The quick snatch resembles a spear, with a hollow belly filled with gunpowder and lead. When the gunpowder is finished, the head of the spear is reloaded, and it becomes a spear. It is a good weapon from far and near.

It's just that this kind of fast gun is mostly made of bamboo, easy to blow up, and has a short range, so no one likes to use it. I don't know if the current firearm factory can make a fast gun with a metal body.

Wang Yi walked outside, looked at the sky that was getting darker, and once again retracted his thoughts on the invading Mongol Tartars. If this battle can only protect Tang County, then what is the difference between himself and ordinary generals? Only by pressing it in the mountains and not putting it into the plains can we show the role of our department.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Yi's heart became heavy again, for fear that those Mongols had rushed into the Beizhi Plain.

Just when Wang Yi was suffering from gains and losses, Tanma finally found the garrison of the Mongolian cavalry.

Indeed, as Wang Yi analyzed, these Mongols intended to cross the Taihang Mountains and attack the rear of the Ming army, not even from the same tribe, but several groups of people and horses gathered together.

Just wait for tonight, and tomorrow out of the Taitaixing Mountain, everyone will be divided into different teams according to the tribe.

"Night Attack!"

Wang Yi, who knew the exact location of the cantonment, still did not clarify to anyone that this was a real battle. It was only when the Molotov cocktails filled with fierce fire oil were handed out to the soldiers that the staff officers began to wonder whether the fictitious "Mongol horses" really existed.

……

Zhang Li saw the dotted torches in the ravine in front of him, and the whole person was stunned.

After marching in the field in the middle of the night, this newly formed team actually encountered the Mongol Tartar cavalry in the west ditch. Is this the new Bai Zongfu who has a great life and great creation, or is he too unlucky? Zhang Li secretly looked at Wang Yi's slightly excited face in the firelight, and said secretly: He actually knew the Tao for a long time, right? It's really calm!

"God's gift." Wang Yi lowered his voice and said to the staff officers who were following him: "Let the Tanma touch it and kill the ambushers." The first flag team stopped at the east entrance and dug and built temporary horse blocking fortifications. The second and third flag teams brought me fierce fire oil and touched it from the side, ready to set fire to the camp! ”

Zhang Li pressed Wang Yi's arm and said in a low voice: "Mr. Bai, how many people are on the other side?" ”

"Thousands." Wang Yi glanced at it: "But in this kind of valley, they can't rush up, and they can't please them." ”

"We're only a hundred!" Zhang Li's hands were straining, almost squeezing out from between his teeth.

"I know it." Wang Yi stared at the Mengtar camp in front of him: "But they don't know what to do." What would you do if you were kicked in the camp at night, and you didn't know how many people you were talking to? ”

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment and said: "Of course, it is to assemble on the spot, obey the command of senior officers, consolidate the area, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack." ”

Wang Yi shook his head and said, "This is what you said is us!" Meng Tartar did not practice according to His Highness's "Drill Code". You see in this west ditch, the east entrance is to the lost town, and the west is to return to Lingshan Town. The road to the west is easy to walk, and the road to the east exit is narrower; The west is the way they came, the familiar way they have walked; To the east is the road that has not been walked, and eighty percent of them are ambushes...... If you have a choice, where do you go? ”

Zhang Li blurted out: "Naturally, it is to turn around and assemble." ”

"That's right!" Wang Yi said: "Let's force them to go back tonight, and then lock the way out of the mountain, and after the army comes, the Mengtar can't take a step out of the mountain, which is our credit." ”

Zhang Li's mind instantly became clear, and he said: "I understand, Mr. Bai is reasonable!" Mr. Wang Bai, do you already know that this group of people has passed the barrier? ”

Wang Yi was noncommittal, only to see a terrible whistle coming from the front, knowing that his horse had alarmed the Mongols' secret sentry or ambush soldiers, and immediately said loudly: "Fight!" Bureau's team, kill me! "After that, he has rushed forward with the bureau team. Zhang Li didn't care about asking questions, and in accordance with the regulations of the discipline, according to the flag of the guard, he temporarily commanded the overall situation.

The herald immediately blew the horn of the general attack, and the three red Sky Piercing Monkeys screamed and broke through the night.

The two flag teams, which had been carefully maneuvering, abandoned concealment, rushed into the Montatar camp as fast as they could, and threw bottles of fierce fire oil at the felt-covered tents. Felt is originally easier to burn than cotton, and once it falls on the body, it cannot be extinguished. Most of the Mongols were still resting in their tents, panicked by the sudden fire.

A small number of vigilant Mengtars also hurriedly looked for horses, and it was difficult to resist after encountering the Ming army's mandarin duck formations with a squad as the formation.

Two flag teams and six squads soon infiltrated the Mongol camp, scurrying between the various tents, like a wandering fire dragon. All the captains knew each other to avoid engaging the Montars, and only used fierce oil bottles and torches to stop them. The rattan player broke through the tent at the slightest moment of necessity and carved a different path, which soon turned the entire Monttar camp upside down. (To be continued......)
