The conspiracy of the 140th officers and soldiers
When Ye Zheng learned the second news from the spy from the Wind Exploration Hall, his face changed, and the shock in his heart was difficult to describe in words.
It turned out that the slaughter of the god Ge Ren Tu had already quietly led 5,000 elite regular troops ten days before the 15,000 army left the city, dressed lightly and lightly, and secretly took a boat north to the Hengjiang River.
However, Ye Zheng has been the leader of the Cangdesolate Mountain Alliance for so long, and he has discussed with the leaders of the Cangdesolate mountain bandits many times, so he is still relatively clear about some of the environments and place names around the Cangdesolate Mountain Range.
The Hengjiang River is the second longest river in Qingjiang County, it is a tributary of the Qingjiang River, the Hengjiang River runs through most of the land of the entire county from south to west, if you take a boat to the north, then you can come to the upper reaches of Cangliang Mountain, Ansan.
Ansan is a small mountain range near the edge of Cangliang Mountain, as long as you arrive at Anshan, and then walk 30 miles downstream, you will enter the Songfeng Mouth of the Desolate Land Boundary. Songfengkou is located on the back of Cangliang Mountain, only four days away from the Black Dragon Valley, because the jurisdiction of Linjiang City is located in the southeast of the front of Cangliang Mountain, so Ye Zheng and they generally only put the main force of patrolling the mountains and horses in this area, and all of them are placed in this area, for the area behind the back of Cangliang Mountain, the number of people patrolling the mountains and exploring horses is extremely rare, after all, the enemy is in front, who will pay attention to the back?
Because, according to normal thinking, if Linjiang City wants to use troops against Canghuang, the fastest way for them is to send troops from Linjiang, then enter Xuande, enter Dahe County, and then pass through Fengxian County, and pass through the Wild Horse Plain, and they can directly enter Canghuang Mountain.
Like the kind of leading thousands of people and horses, going around Qingjiang County in a small half circle, and interspersing the Hengjiang River to the back of Cangliang Mountain, this kind of thing is something that ordinary leading generals of the imperial court can't think of, and even if they come up with it, they won't implement it at all, because it's too difficult, and the risk is not small.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the daily ration consumption of the 5,000 men and horses, it is a big challenge, like the kind of surprise attack, the simple light riding over the mountains and rivers around the belly and back of the destination, it is definitely impossible to carry too many rations and equipment, as well as those baggage and other things, let alone think about carrying, and the result of this is to increase the distance several times.
Therefore, with Ge Rentu's experience in suppressing bandits for so many years, as well as his analysis and understanding of his opponents, it is very likely that he will use this risky move. Because the idea of killing the god Ge Ren Tu to lead the army to fight is different from ordinary people, and only he will come up with such an unexpected surprise attack.
Originally, if he was dealing with normal mountain bandits, it is estimated that he would not be so bothered, mainly the desolate bandits he faced this time, they have extremely terrifying and terrifying firearms in their hands, to say that according to the normal bandit routine, it is estimated that it is difficult to exterminate them in a short period of time, and the terrain of that place in the Black Dragon Valley is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if he leads 20,000 soldiers and horses to the Black Dragon Ridge, it is estimated that it will be difficult to take it.
Therefore, in response to the tens of thousands of mountain bandits in the Black Dragon Valley, Ge Rentu arranged the marching plan of these two hands to suppress the bandits, the first-hand plan, that is, according to the normal routine, he led the 15,000 army openly, and killed the Cangliang Mountain along the fastest route to attract the attention of the opponent, and led the opponent out to ambush and sneak attack, so as to disperse the defensive force of the opponent's base camp.
The second hand plan is the key, and before the army leaves the city, he secretly arranges for 5,000 elites to go around the enemy's belly and back, and carry out a surprise attack and attack on the enemy, this hand is the deadly ruthless hand.
Thinking of this, Ye Zheng quickly analyzed and calculated in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was this possibility.
Today, it has been six days since he led the Fire God Hall out to ambush the officers and soldiers, according to the calculation of the schedule, the five thousand regular troops secretly arranged by Ge Rentu at this moment should have entered the Desolate Realm now, if the speed is faster, maybe the army will already attack the Black Dragon Ridge at this moment.
Thinking that he went out of the mountain this time and took away all the members of the Fire God Hall, as well as hundreds of elite masters in the cottage, this move will definitely weaken the strength of the cottage and increase the defensive pressure of the brothers guarding the village, besides, the five thousand elite regular army of Ge Rentu are all warriors above the first-level samurai, and there are not many martial arts masters above the rank of captain, so he must rush back as soon as possible, because with the strength of the cottage alone, without the assistance of arms and equipment, it is difficult to resist the attack of thousands of regular army elites.
Thinking of this, Ye Zheng was so anxious that he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly back to Black Dragon Valley, his face sank at the moment, and he gathered all the horses he brought this time, all of them together, ready to inform them to cancel the action plan to ambush and suppress the bandit army, and rush back to Black Dragon Valley in advance.
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt very surprised, especially the brothers in the Fire God Hall, their faces were full of loss and frustration, thinking that they had been training firearms in the Fire God Hall for so long, in order to be able to use firearms and the officers and soldiers to have a good experience of the amazing power of these magical firearms.
However, before they had a chance to perform, their alliance leader had to choose to retreat, which was undoubtedly a big blow to the morale and fighting spirit of these people. However, Ye Zheng chose to retreat at this time, and there was no way to do it, because the 15,000 bandit army stationed in Yemayuan guessed that they would come to ambush, so he deliberately delayed.
Nowadays, the army of bandits in the imperial court can be delayed, but they are not only consumed like this.
After Ye Zheng's order to retreat, although everyone was not very reluctant, they also knew how powerful it was.
At this time, Niu Tiezhu suddenly said: "Alliance leader, there is no need to retreat this time, let all the brothers of our Fire God Hall go, in fact, we can leave some brothers here to continue to ambush." ”
Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say this?"
Niu Tiezhu said: " The alliance leader retreats this time, he must want to rush back to Heilongling as soon as possible, the faster the better, but if all the people and horses retreat with you, this will undoubtedly reduce the speed of everyone rushing back, because after all, there are many brothers who carry a lot of firearms and ammunition, especially those mortars, if you rush with them, it will affect the speed, besides, the alliance leader will bring back all the brothers in the mortar branch, in our place in the Black Dragon Valley, in fact, it will not play a big role, why not just leave them here to ambush the officers and soldiers, after all, if the fifteen thousand bandit army really kills the Black Dragon Ridge, the pressure on our cottage is also quite big。 ”
When Ye Zheng heard this, he felt that what he said was quite reasonable, so he nodded and agreed. "Okay, according to what you said, all the brothers of the mortar branch of the Vulcan Hall will stay and continue to wait here for the ambush officers and soldiers, and the brothers of the other branches, I will take some of them. ”
Hearing this, Niu Tiezhu nodded and didn't say anything more.
After making the decision to retreat, Ye Zheng felt that it was not too late, and the sooner he rushed back, the better, otherwise, it would change later!
Therefore, on the spot, he ordered Niu Tiezhu to transfer some of his men and horses, except for the mortar branch that was not taken away, Niu Tiezhu transferred half of the personnel of the other five branches to Ye Zheng one by one.
So after the personnel were ready to stop, in the afternoon of the same day, Ye Zheng led some people and horses to rush back to Heilongling.
This time, the people Ye Zheng brought back were ten members of the Sniper Rifle Branch of the Vulcan Hall, thirty members of the AK47 Branch, ten members of the Bazooka Branch, sixty members of the Shotgun Branch and one hundred and fifty members of the Pistol Branch, a total of two hundred and sixty members of the Vulcan Hall.
In addition, he also left half of the three hundred elite mountain bandit masters, and finally took a total of 400 people and horses when he went on the road to meet the Black Dragon Ridge.
After saying goodbye to Niu Tiezhu and others who were staying in place to ambush the officers and soldiers, the group rushed back to Heilongling.
