Chapter 158: Guerrilla Warfare
The People's Army tossed around in Yuanqu County for three days, rested for two days, and quietly withdrew from the county seat in the middle of the night on the fifth day, without a trace.
The people's army even suffered defeat, did not dare to be careless, sent a lot of eyeliner to keep an eye on the movements of the officers and troops from all walks of life, and after discovering that Sun Chuanting's army had been assembled by the Yellow River, Wang Ziyong and others were taken aback, and they did not dare to stay for one more day, and ran away overnight.
Although the people's army took advantage of the cover of night to quietly evacuate in the middle of the night, making it mysterious, but it was not that no one knew their movements, and after the county lieutenant Zhang Hong of Yuanqu County was defeated and fled out of the city, he sent people to the neighboring counties for help, and he took a small part of the defeated soldiers to hide in the woods near the county seat and closely monitor the movements of the people's army.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Hong took people to keep an eye on the movement of the people's army, they were natives, familiar with the terrain in this area, followed and monitored the path, and avoided the buried soldiers behind the palace of the people's army.
Wang Ziyong was indeed cautious, let the rear army covering the palace ambush halfway, and found that there were no officers and soldiers chasing, so he breathed a sigh of relief, the army lit torches, carried the air death wind lantern in the night march, and only went into the woods to rest in the near dawn, which was indeed a good way to hide the whereabouts of the army, but it was a pity that Zhang Hong was bold and careful, risked tracking behind, and completely mastered every move of the people's army, but the county officials of the nearby counties were taken by the prestige of the people's army, and no one dared to send troops, just to defend their own county seat, and prayed that the people's army would not attack their own county.
Perhaps it was their pious prayer that moved God, the people's army did not attack the city, but just went around the city, rushing in the direction of Taiyuan Mansion, sports warfare, that is, they did not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, they were flexible and mobile, avoided the real and the virtual, waited for the opportunity to annihilate the officers and troops, and slipped away if they could not fight, which really won the essence of guerrilla warfare.
When the people's army raided and captured Taiping County, Sun Chuanting received the holy decree and led the army to cross the Yellow River.
In the era when there was no radio and telephone and other high technology, the drawbacks of serious backwardness in communication were clearly highlighted, and when Sun Chuanting and others sent their songs to the Beijing division at the fastest speed, and the holy decree was sent from the Beijing division and handed over to Sun Chuanting and others at the fastest speed, the daylily was already cold.
This is also Zhu Jian's negligence, so that the fighter plane was delayed, in order to ensure their own safety, the emperors of the past dynasties have extremely strict regulations on the crossing of the border of the provincial government soldiers, no holy decree, no crossing the line, all he can do is to make amends, in the holy decree to Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu specially added a special article, under special circumstances, there is no need to ask for a play, you can directly cross the border to pursue the people's army, it can be regarded as a privilege.
Not only Sun Chuanting, but also Lu Hongniang, Li Xin, and Cao Bianjiao also received such a holy decree, giving them the privilege of acting cheaply, and the local officials must fully cooperate to give food and other supplies of materials.
Sun Chuanting has been sending people to closely monitor the movements in Shanxi, Yuanqu County was attacked and occupied by the people's army, he immediately sent a large number of scouts to closely monitor around the clock, the former Tongcheng City Gate Captain Sun Lianhu is also a local, was ordered to lead a team to sneak to Yuanqu County to spy on the intelligence of the people's army, and soon contacted his brother-in-law Zhang Hong, the two division of labor and cooperation, Zhang Hong is responsible for monitoring, he is responsible for contacting Sun Chuanting, and the information he hears is continuously sent to Sun Chuanting's hands, so that he can always understand the movements of the people's army.
Sun Chuanting's department is still nearly four days away from the people's army, in order to keep his subordinates full of physical strength and ensure combat effectiveness, he did not rush desperately, but marched moderately, and he only needed to hang behind the people's army when he should rest, but the five hundred cavalry battalions of the cavalry battalion would be sent by him to attack and harass the people's army and delay the speed of the people's army's march.
Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu still led their own troops to march in Shaanxi, although they were reminded by Sun Chuanting to prepare for the eastward crossing into Jin, but the distance was relatively long, and they had to wait for the holy decree, which also delayed the warplane.
Of course, when the two of them received the holy decree, they saw the cheap privilege order given by the Son of Heaven in the holy decree, and the two reacted differently at the time, Lu Xiangsheng knelt on the ground and cried, the Son of Heaven treated me like a national soldier, and I could only swear to die in return and die on the battlefield.
Qin Liangyu's eyes were also filled with tears, and he kowtowed respectfully three times in the direction of Jingshi, with mixed feelings in his heart, Qianxian, Qianxian, if you know under the spring, and know the trust and reuse of the Son of Heaven in our Ma family, you should also be blind.
"Sons, follow me into Jin and serve the country in peace!"
There was no need to mobilize and cheer, under Qin Liangyu's order, 5,000 white-pole soldiers marched on the flat official road in great strides, although the military posture was not as uniform as the three new armies, but the morale was high, enough to face any difficulties and challenges.
Compared with the original historical white pole army, whether it is weapons and equipment or food and salary, the current white pole army is much better than the original, and there are fewer local officials' various elbows to make it difficult, there are no pig teammates, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting are good teammates who can be trusted enough, team up to farm monsters, although they dare not say that they have a tacit understanding on the cooperation, but they can definitely rest assured and boldly handed over to the other party for protection behind them, and because of this, coupled with the trust and reuse of the Son of Heaven, Qin Liangyu has the confidence to slap the people's army, if the local defenders are effective, they will defend the city and wait for help. It will be able to block the people's army in Shanxi.
The people's army attacked and seized Taiping County, it was to send people to mix in first, and then the inside and outside should be combined, forcibly open the city gate, and enlarge the army to enter the city, the county order, the county lieutenant and other responsible persons were greedy for life and afraid of death, and as soon as the roar of killing sounded, they immediately ran away, and the newly formed Minzhuang was already a scumbag of combat power, and no one commanded it, so it was naturally a touch of collapse.
The people's army captured the county seat without much effort, and then the old rules liquidated the landlords, old money, profiteers, corrupt officials, etc., cut off their heads and confiscated their homes, and confiscated all the money, food, and girls, and then happily divided the dirt, took a day or two off, recruited troops and horses, and then continued to run away, and played a game of hide and seek with the officials and soldiers.
However, there is a slight difference from the original history is that although the ranks of the people's army are growing like a snowball, they have not shown an explosive surge, and many honest and simple peasant families have not responded to the call and enlisted in the army, but have taken their families to hide in the mountains and old forests, and most of the people who have joined the people's army are people with small calculations in their hearts, or their character is not very reliable, although the number of troops has increased, but military discipline and combat effectiveness have a downward trend, and these inconspicuous problems have basically been neglected by the leaders of the people's army who have made a fortune in a row.
The people's army adopts the tactics of one-hit guerrilla, which can be said to be very successful at the strategic level, at least Sun Chuanting, who has been chasing behind, failed to catch the people's army and beat it, in addition to marching or marching all day long, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Sun Chuanting felt that he was on fire, but there was no way, the local army failed to hold the city, and the people's army was blocked, and Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu, who had entered the Jin Dynasty to cooperate with the battle, were still far behind, and his lone army wanted to block the people's army that avoided the war, and it was really powerless.
After the people's army evacuated Taiping County, it went around a small half circle and raided the county seat of Jizhou, and then suddenly accelerated its march, rushed into Taiyuan Mansion, and raided Xugou County.
