"Withdraw, let's return to Wankou, I have just received information that the troops of a corps of Zuo Minda in Merlot County are plotting to attack Wankou, and we will rush back now and destroy their infantry first." Chu Yan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the big boss"

Liu Er Mazi answered loudly, Wankou is his old nest, where are everyone's families concentrated, although there are more than 3,000 soldiers left, but against nearly 10,000 county soldiers in Haikui County, there is no chance of winning.

"Have the smuggled salt dealers and rich people's homes been copied in Yuncheng?" Chu Yan asked with a frown.

Liu Er Mazi showed an excited look on his face, "The big boss, it's almost, these dogs' families are really rich, this time we made a lot of money."

Chu Yan smiled: "Of course these bastards are rich, but after collecting a lifetime of money, aren't they cheap for us now?" By the way, did our soldiers harass their female dependents, and did they disturb the ordinary people in Yuncheng? ”

Liu Er Mazi hurriedly said: "No, no, big boss, how can this be, last time you beheaded several soldiers who violated the ban in Fangcheng at one time, and now the soldiers are very disciplined, and no one dares to mess around." ”

Chu Yan had a smile on his face, "That's good, we must pay attention to military discipline, although we are called bandits, we ourselves must regard ourselves as a righteous army, a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor." ”

The reason why Chu Yan paid so much attention to military discipline was because before leaving, Su Jun told him that if an army does not have strict military discipline, it will soon be defeated, especially like Chu Yan's operation this time, if most people who were kept in the dark really made themselves bandits, it would be extremely unfavorable for them to return to Taidang County in the future.

Chu Yan's army came like the wind, and after plundering on a large scale, it left Yuncheng like another gust of wind, leaving only a group of Yuncheng gentry who had changed from rich to destitute in an instant, and wanted to cry without tears.

At the mouth of the bay, the soldiers who stayed behind began to prepare before the battle, and when Chu Yan attacked, he left more than 3,000 elite soldiers here, and handed them over to a group of low-level officers who came from Taidang County, and they trained and led this group of rookies.

In the past few months, these more than 3,000 soldiers have been completely reborn after receiving the formal military training of Taidang County, and they have begun to have the atmosphere of soldiers, and the armor and weapons secretly transported by Taidang County have also been assembled.

Chu Yan was able to get so many such good things in a short period of time quietly, which made them more in awe of the big master Feiyanzi, at this critical time, these things are scarce materials, and they need a lot of silver to equip the soldiers, I didn't see the soldiers under the command of Lu Lianggong who came to attack Wankou last time, aren't there still some soldiers who don't have armor?

The appearance of the bay mouth has changed greatly, although the fortress and other fortresses can not be built, but the military officers of Taidang County still strengthened the simple version of the city wall of the bay mouth, separated the two rows of wooden fences by several meters, deeply into the ground, and then filled it with earth and stones, smeared with mud, and the section of the city wall was erected in this way, although it was only less than three meters high, but it was already a lot of peace of mind for the families of the salt workers behind the city wall.

Such a wall is far from enough to deal with the barbarians in the northern Xinjiang, but it is completely sufficient to deal with the county soldiers of Haikui County, an army that has not experienced the test of war for a long time.

The reason why an army is strong is that they can maintain a high fighting spirit and an unyielding heart after experiencing heavy losses, and the reason why the garrison of Taidang County is strong is that they have slowly cultivated in the struggle against the barbarians and will not give up resistance to fight to the last man.

When Chu Yan returned to Wankou, the pre-war preparations here had been arranged in place, and when he saw the strong crossbow installed on the wall, Chu Yan nodded with satisfaction.

"Shi Mingyi, you are responsible for commanding the battle to defend the city, I will take 3,000 people out of the city, go to the back to pocket Zuo Mingda's ass, and stab him to death from behind"

Chu Yan made a gesture, and everyone laughed, and the relaxed atmosphere of these garrison officers in Taidang County made Liu Ermazi and other generals who had grown up from the original salt workers involuntarily relax.

Also, under the leadership of Feiyanzi, they will win every battle in Merlot County, which has given them a strong self-confidence, believing that they can defeat the county soldiers of Haikui County, which originally looked very powerful.

"General......

Shi Mingyi blurted out, but immediately realized his mistake, and continued without changing his face:

"You take all the cavalry out of the city, so that you can move more quickly, we have to end the battle against Zuo Mingda before the Merlot County Xiang Feng arrives, I am afraid that Zuo Mingda will see that the opportunity is not good, and if he is allowed to merge with the new officers and troops from Merlot County, then the next battle will be difficult to fight."

"Divide and strike, break each one, destroy the enemy in motion"

Chu Yan waved his arm and said with a smile: "Don't forget this sentence, Wankou is now a bait, luring the county soldiers of Haikui County to destroy one after another, and when You Junmin finds out that something is wrong, when he wants to gather all the troops, he will find that his county soldiers in Haikui County no longer have enough troops, hahaha, by then, Merlot County will be ours"

Everyone laughed, but everyone's laughter didn't mean the same thing.

Zuo Mingda confidently launched an attack on the mouth of Haikui Bay, and although the destruction of Lu Lianggong made him have a certain vigilance against this group of rioting salt workers, he still thought that with the elite under his command, it should be easy to exterminate them, not to mention that now the person named Feiyan was collecting a large army and wandering around.

The elite cavalry of Merlot County has been chasing their butts, how can the rebel army who has taken most of the main force be their opponents, they are not Lu Lianggong, and their subordinates are not the wrecks under Lu Lianggong, these more than 10,000 people are the absolute main force cultivated by the head of You County with a lot of money.

"General Zuo, there are rebellious ranger sentries on the left and right flanks of our army, will we expel them?"

The sentinel who went out to inquire about the news rushed back to report to Zuo Mingda.

Zuo Mingda thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No need, the other party wants to disturb the hearts of our army, how many people are there in the rebellious army, can they send a large force out of the city?" Pretend to be suspicious, the whole army should ignore these miscellaneous fish, we will go straight to the mouth of the bay, we will go straight to his lair, you don't have to worry, the main force of the flying swallow is here, how can we be afraid of this group of well-equipped good men? Everybody just go full speed ahead. ”。

In the other direction, after Chu Yan heard the report of the scout, he smiled and said to the generals beside him:

"Soldiers, tricks, the virtual is real, the real is virtual, the virtual is real, the virtual and the real are intertwined, its use is wonderful, there is one mind, you have to remember, the more you have the upper hand, the more you must be cautious, because with the odd use of risk, only the weak or about to lose will be used, I hope that the ability to turn the tide will not fall, this kind of strategy, into a defeat can be reversed into victory, but the probability of failure is greater, so I hope I will not use strange strategies and dangerous strategies in my life"
