Chapter 169: Night Attack on Wild Horse Plain
After careful discussion with the leaders, Ye Zheng finally decided that as soon as it was dark in the early morning of tomorrow, he would start to dispatch all the horses to attack the camp of the officers and soldiers. Everyone had no objection to his decision, and within the next half hour, Ye Zheng discussed with them the specific matters of the sneak attack on the officers and soldiers, and then they dispersed and went back to arrange and prepare.
After everyone left, Ye Zheng, accompanied by Niu Tiezhu and Niu Sanyan, looked for a higher mountain peak and looked towards the Wild Horse Plain, ten miles away.
Because it was early in the morning, and the morning fog between the mountains and forests was extremely heavy, they couldn't see the bandit army stationed in the Wild Horse Plains ten miles away in the morning. At this time, Ye Zheng lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother Tiezhu, you should have figured out the terrain around the Mustang Plain in the past few days, right?"
Niu Tiezhu nodded and said, "Alliance Master, my subordinates have indeed explored the terrain in the area of the Wild Horse Plains clearly in the past few days. β
Ye Zheng turned his head to look at him and said, "If the officers and soldiers want to withdraw their troops, will they retreat from that road? Is it the same way they came, or is there another way?"
Niu Tiezhu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "If the officers and soldiers want to retreat, then they must retreat from Wangniupo according to the original way, if they do not retreat according to the original way, then it will be difficult to transport the hundreds of truckloads of grain and grass they bring back and forth, although there are several other roads in the Wild Horse Plain to withdraw the troops, but the subordinates firmly believe that those officers and soldiers who suppress bandits will never choose, and they will definitely withdraw their troops according to the original way." β
Hearing this, Ye Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "What is the terrain of Wangniupo?
At this time, Niu Sanyan, who was standing on the side, interjected: "Alliance leader, the area of Wangniupo is overgrown with artemisia grass, the terrain is open, and there are many people and horses, so it is easy to expose the target, and it is not suitable for us to set up an ambush at all." β
Regarding what Niu Sanyan said, Niu Tiezhu also nodded again and again, expressing deep agreement.
Ye Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "In addition to Wangniupo, where is the road for the retreat of the officers and soldiers suitable for an ambush?"
Niu Tiezhu thought for a while and said, "Alliance leader, although Wangniupo is not suitable for our brothers in the Fire God Hall to ambush, however, after Wangniupo, there is still a place that is more suitable for ambushing. β
"Where is it?" Ye Zheng asked.
"Xiao Songkou!" Niu Tiezhu replied respectfully: "After Wangniu Slope, and then go southeast along the mountain road for about three miles, there will gradually be mountains and forests, and Xiao Songkou is the entrance to the mountain forest, if we choose to set up an ambush there, it should be difficult to be discovered by the officers and soldiers, because although the terrain around Xiao Songkou is not very high, but its terrain is very complicated, and the surrounding woods are dense, as long as the number of people in ambush is not very large, it should not be easily discovered by the enemy." β
Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "If I personally lead five hundred people to ambush, can I hide there?"
Niu Tiezhu nodded and said, "It should be possible!"
Ye Zheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately clapped his hands and said: "Okay, tonight, I will take five hundred men and horses to secretly sneak to Xiaosongkou to set up an ambush, Niu Sanyan, you also lead your snipers, go with me." β
Niu Sanyan has been ambushed in Wushifeng for so many days, but he has not been able to lead his snipers to fight with the officers and soldiers, he and his gang of guys have long been idle birds, and now seeing that Ye Zheng actually wants to take his men and horses to Xiaosongkou to ambush the officers and soldiers, how can he not be ecstatic.
At that moment, he said with excitement on his face: "Obey, alliance leader, I will go down to prepare." β
After speaking, after saluting Ye Zheng, he ran away without a trace.
After seeing Niu Sanyan leave, Ye Zheng said to Niu Tiezhu again: " Brother Tiezhu, after you go back, I will ask your brothers from the Vulcan Hall to rest well during the day, and tonight, take advantage of the night to lurk around the Mustang Plain, and arrange all the mortars, and when the time comes, you will bomb with all your might, creating panic and chaos for the officers and soldiers' camps, and then send out bazooka branches to open the way, and then the other branches of the Vulcan Hall will cooperate with the Liuzhai Lord to attack the camp of the officers and soldiers, in a word, you must toss the big movement as much as possible, so that those officers and soldiers can not figure out the situation and flee in panicγ β
Hearing this, Niu Tiezhu thought deeply and asked respectfully: "Alliance leader, if the officers and soldiers really retreat according to the original route, then should we follow closely behind?"
Ye Zheng shook his head and said: "Don't do this! You just need to blast all the shells over and disrupt the camp where they are stationed, as long as there is chaos in their camp, then their combat effectiveness will definitely drop significantly, as long as they force their army to retreat, it is enough." If you push too tightly and let those officers and soldiers jump over the wall in a hurry, it will be unfavorable for you, because after all, our number is only 3,000 people, and no matter how chaotic the officers and soldiers are, they also have more than 10,000 horses, besides, among the more than 10,000 horses, there are also 5,000 regular troops in the city of 5,000 states, that's naturally the best. Anyway, you just need to drive the officers and soldiers to Xiaosongkou, and I'll take care of the rest. β
"Subordinates obey orders!" Niu Tiezhu bowed.
Ye Zheng waved his hand, signaling him not to be so polite, and after chatting on the top of the mountain for a while, the two went down the mountain together.
After descending the mountain, Ye Zheng personally selected five hundred people, including members of the Fire God Hall, and some elite mountain bandits who had practiced Gangqi, and after selecting the people, he ordered everyone to rest during the day, eat and sleep well, and at night there would be major actions.
Those mountain bandits selected by Ye Zheng were all very excited, they could be personally selected by the alliance leader, and go together to carry out major actions, what a glory at this time, at the moment they patted their chests and promised, saying that they would behave well at night and never disappoint the alliance leader.
Ye Zheng laughed out loud when he heard this.
Finally waited until it was dark, after eating dry food, Ye Zheng and the leaders of the mountain bandits who stayed in the same place explained the matters to be paid attention to, and after making preparations, he personally led the five hundred erlang, carrying nine heavy machine guns, carrying hundreds of boxes of ammunition, taking advantage of the dark night, all the way around the Mustang Plain, and went straight to Xiaosongkou behind Wangniupo to sneak, of course, there was also Deng Sanniang on this trip, and the main task of her trip was to ensure Ye Zheng's safety.
After all, it is impossible to be without a master of gangqi in an army of 15,000 bandits stationed in the Wild Horse Plain.
