Chapter Eighty-Six: Not Simple
Beguru led the 6,000-foot army to return to the flank of the Texas army by the order of the commander of Yan Xianye, and cooperated with the frontal attack army to attack the defenders of the Hundred Wolf Valley and open the way. But there are many steep mountains and ravines here, and the guide who led the way dizzed himself, walked for a day, wandered around for a night and did not find the way to the Valley of the Hundred Wolves, so angry that he split the guide with a knife and sent someone to explore the way.
"Tell the rest!" Beguru sat down under a tree and shouted weakly, his legs were about to break, and his horse was not only unmountable, but a burden.
'Bang' suddenly came a loud sound, Begooru was so frightened that he quickly hid behind a tree, this sound was too familiar to him, it was a firearm in the Texas army, they have suffered a lot these days, but some people did not react as fast as him, looking around to find the location of the attacker.
'Bang...' There were a few more explosions, and several of his own soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and one of them screamed loudly that he was not dead.
"The enemy is there, release the arrows!" Someone saw the smoke rising after the shooting, pointed and shouted loudly, the Jin army is well-trained, and immediately an officer stood up and ordered his men to fire arrows at the attacker, and there was no movement after a rain of arrows. But the matter didn't end there, just stopped here, and remembered the gun again, and the two leaders who died this time were Meng'an.
Officers and soldiers were constantly shot, Begokulu was very angry, and sent troops to search for the attackers, but the mountains were high and dense, and the attackers were shot from a distance, and when they arrived, they couldn't even find a single hair, and there were even far away from the search team and there was no return, but they were annihilated by the attackers...
Beguru took great difficulty to drive the attackers away, ate hastily, and hit the road again. If he misses the appointed time, his life will be lost. But the attackers didn't seem to want to let them go. Soon after departure, they stuck up again, and they specialized in shooting officers or vanguards. After a while, they turned to the rear of their brigade and attacked the rear team, causing the team to stop again and again to search for and pursue the attackers.
What's even more annoying is that these people don't fight to the death at this time, but specifically greet them on their legs, this mountain march relies on two legs, of course they can't walk if they are injured, and the horses can't be ridden, so they can only be carried. But everyone wore armor and carried blades. You have to bring food and drink, the weight is not small, and then you can carry a person where you can still walk, there is no way for everyone to go together, four to lift one, slowly! It's okay to say this one or two, but there are more and more wounded, and if you give up the wounded, it will definitely affect morale. And everyone didn't dare, according to military regulations, abandon the comrades-in-arms of their accomplices, that would be to sit together.
Everyone knew at a glance that this was Zhao Ta's ghost. It used the 'sparrow tactic' to deal with the Japanese devils, firing a shot to change places and disrupt the enemy's march. Delay the pace of their march. In his previous life, as the elite of the special forces, Zhao Tan naturally had to undergo harsh guerrilla warfare training. We know the tricks. But most people don't know that this simple tactic is not carried out at all. It also has very strict tactical implementation requirements, and good tactics are not so simple.
The application of battlefield tactics behind enemy lines is only achieved through practice and reflection again and again that 'the subtlety of the application is kept in one mind,' but later generations often imagine the battlefields behind enemy lines with ordinary experience, and it is inevitable that they will think that guerrilla tactics are simple and casual because they cannot grasp their essence. As a matter of fact, the guerrilla tactical system is also complete and profound, and not every unit can do it, and the special combat team that he personally trained will not fail to hand over this hand to them, so he handed over the task of dragging the Jin Army's infantry to the 20 special combat members and his own guards accompanying him.
The task of holding back more than 6,000 enemies with a force of 100 men is an impossible task for others, but it is not difficult in the hands of the well-trained guards, which is their job. Unlike other troops, which are divided into assault groups, fire groups, and cover groups, they do not have the goal of delaying the enemy's advance and disrupting the marching troops.
The Jin army was attacked again and again, Beguru as a member of the Xiao general suffered a few losses and also saw a little way, so that the officers changed their clothes and mingled with the soldiers, the handsome flag, the flag was rolled up and stuffed into the package, and the search team was sent to occupy the surrounding commanding heights when marching, and after confirming the safety, the team followed again, although it was slow, but finally moved forward.
The 'boom' troops walked into a flat valley, the attackers seemed to have disappeared, the march was fast, Beguru just got on his horse and breathed a sigh of relief, there was a loud noise in front of him, before he could understand what was going on, the horse under his ass was gone, and the man stood up and flipped the master to the ground, and vented his dissatisfaction in a circle, which was too scary, and he didn't say hello when he fired the cannon, which scared me this jump!
"Report, the scout who explored the path was struck by lightning, three were killed and two were injured!" Begokulu got up in disbelief and found that the march had stopped again, and the former army sent someone to report.
"Fart, where did the thunder come from on this sunny day!" Beguru roared with his horsewhip pointing at the blue sky with a few white clouds.
'Boom' As soon as his words fell, there was a loud bang, and Beguru was so frightened that he also shrank his neck, and suddenly remembered that there was also a 'drought and thunder', and it must have been his horsewhip pointing at the sky just now, and his mouth was foul language, which made the gods angry and gave him some color.
"Lord Baomouke, our commander stepped forward to check the situation, and he was also killed by thunder!" Before Begokulu's prayer was finished, an adjutant general of the former army ran over and said with a crying voice.
Beguru was so alarmed that he ordered the army to stand by and went to check it himself, only to see a pit on the ground with a diameter of two or three feet and more than two feet deep, and around the pit lay a few sergeants with blurred flesh and blood, and they saw that they were not alive. The tragic scene in front of him made Begokuru's scalp tingle, which was a little different from the people he usually saw killed by lightning, and when he looked at the pit in front of him, he knew that he had been calculated by those attackers again, and it must have been their fault, although he didn't know what was going on.
Seeing that the sun has moved to the west again, and his time is running out, if he can't catch up with the Hundred Wolf Valley before dark today and complete the outflanking of the defenders, the marshal will have to skin himself alive. Chilling to think about the consequences, Begokulu gave the order to set off again, but he didn't go far before there was a loud noise, and the group had to stop again. At this time, the fools all understood, whoever walked in front was struck by lightning, and for a while the sergeants flinched.
"Draw lots!" Beguru looked at his men with fear on their faces, gritted his teeth and said, the lottery is the way to select the dead in the Jin army whenever they encounter a dangerous mission, and the person who wins the lottery must go to the task, knowing that they will not back down...
Sparrow warfare and mine warfare are the best pairs, and Zhao Ta certainly will not forget to tell everyone that although there is no concept of 'landmine' in this era, it does not prevent it from bringing fear and trouble to the enemy. The Jin army that was outflanked by these prefectures suffered losses again and again, and they no longer dared to march in great strides, and every time they took a step, they had to look around to see if there was anything abnormal, and the speed was naturally comparable to the speed of a turtle!
.....
When Begokulu finally walked this interspersed road of less than 100 miles after a lot of hardships and returned to the side of the defenders of the Hundred Wolf Valley, it was already dawn the next day, although he was tired from top to bottom at the moment, but he did not dare to slack off, Begokulu immediately led the whole army to lead the dead soldiers to attack. They were a day late, this is a delay in the fighter, according to the law, Begokuru now has only two ways to go, or desperately capture the high ground on both sides of the Hundred Wolf Valley, and the merit will be reversed; Either your own head falls to the ground and the whole family is enslaved!
Beguru climbed to the top of the mountain from a cliff with the determination to die, but he felt very strange, it was too quiet here, not only did it not have the tension of the big war, but there was not even a figure to be seen, could there be an ambush here? At this time, the sky was already bright, Begokulu looked over the mountain to the valley full of suspicion, and couldn't help but gasp, not only the defending Texas army was gone, but even their gold army was gone.
Although Beguru was suspicious, he easily occupied the Hundred Wolf Valley, and he still breathed a sigh of relief, and while ordering people to search for the remnants of the enemy, he transferred a large army up the mountain.
"What? Not a single person can be found, not the living, but the dead! Beguru asked in confusion, he had already checked the battlefield, there were clothes and armor, blades, and banners abandoned by the Texan army everywhere, and even found uncooked meals in the pot on the stove, all kinds of signs indicated that the Texan army was retreating in a hurry and panic, and it was impossible to leave no wounded and corpses.
"There is not a single dead person, but there is a new grave behind the mountain, and it is estimated that the dead are buried there!" One of his subordinates pointed to the valley and said.
"You immediately contact Du Shuai, just say that we have occupied the Hundred Wolf Valley, I'll go over there and have a look!" Beguru also wondered, his own flags were erected, and it was supposed that they should be able to see it over there, so why didn't they even send a person? Since you are not coming, I will send someone to find you.
"These people are not simple, during the hasty evacuation, they can also bury all the dead sergeants and leave markers!" Beguru looked at the neatly arranged graves and pulled up a wooden sign in front of the grave, which stated the name and origin of the deceased, and couldn't help but sigh.
"My lord, the commander has an order, order your troops to march quickly after they arrive, and meet the troops under the city of Texas!" Just as he was sighing with emotion, his own soldiers brought someone to preach.
"What's the matter, Du Shuai has already arrived in Texas City?" Begokulu was frightened too much today, but he was still shocked by the order. (To be continued.) )
