"Now, I'm here to give the battle order!"

As soon as I said this, everyone immediately stood up straight, neatly, and all looked at me, their eyes were bright, and their spirits were very good.

"In this operation, I divided it and did not plan, of course, the plan is dead, the battle situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, we need to use it flexibly. Now, General Ma led 5,000 men and horses directly out of the city, camped twenty miles outside the city, waited for the Qing army to arrive, and ten miles outside your camp there is a moat, you can bury troops there, ambush the Qing army, although you can't destroy it at one time, but can thwart the Qing army's living force, and what we have to do is to destroy their living force, as long as their people are gone, this battle will be lost. ”

"General Li Qing, you allocate 3,000 men and horses from your subordinates General Yu Ma, and then bring 5,000 men and horses to camp ten miles outside the city, ten miles outside the city is a dense forest, you can hide troops here, the mountains on both sides are your barriers, so that you can take advantage of the terrain and the Qing army Zhou Xuan, remember that if you can avoid direct face-to-face combat with the Qing army, then try to avoid it, we use long-range weapons to attack them, such as bows and arrows, bed crossbows, fire guns, etc., with the intention of destroying their living forces. And when General Ma retreats back at that time, you can use it as a cover to meet General Ma, then the Qing army is not a large-scale pursuit and killing, if it is a large-scale pursuit, you suddenly lead the troops to kill, they will suffer a big loss. ”

"And General Ma, you didn't intend to enter the city when you retreated, see, there is a road from here, here is a circle around these two mountains, after you retreat back, go back directly from here, when the Qing army and General Li Qing are fighting, General Li Qing retreats while fighting, leading them to the city, and you go back to surround them."

"As for General Li Qing, if they fight with you, you fight and retreat, and retreat and directly station under the city wall to confront the Qing army, I can guarantee that they will not be able to enter the city three hundred meters below, and then they can only camp outside the city, and at that time I will send a small force to harass, so that they can not rest day and night, and within ten days, they will be exhausted, and then I will use three cannons as well, General Ma, you will lead the troops to watch the battle, and when we and the Qing army are deadlocked, you will rush out and kill, It can definitely annihilate the Qing army in one fell swoop! And this battle was declared a victory. ”

"Okay, general, you fought a very good roundabout battle, like a cage one by one, from thirty miles away to hold a meeting and set up, until the Qing army came in, led them in, and then we collected the cage and put them in the pig cage."

Li Qing applauded, and the other lieutenants also nodded and praised.

"The idea is good, but it depends on how the generals come to play this scene, especially General Ma, you must ambush them in advance on that day, not only so that the Qing army can not find out, but also to clean them up very miserably, so that they lose their minds, like crazy chasing you, and you will fight with them next, as soon as you make contact, you will desperately run back, along the way to ambush the archers, constantly harass their flanks, annihilate their people, this terrain we are familiar with, when the time comes, do not worry about the soldiers scattered, And the Qing army does not dare, they will only chase you, and do not dare to break away from the team, they are afraid that there will be other ambushes. ”

"General, don't worry, I will do my best to do this, but I still have a worry, one is that I am afraid that the Qing army will have other troops to attack the county, and we have not found out, and we dare not bet, so what if the Qing army really divides its forces to bow and arrow our archers who are ambushed on the flank?"

General Ma nodded, this is indeed true, what if the Qing army really attacked? On the battlefield, you must do nothing in case and not take any risks, otherwise, there will be a heavy price waiting for you.

"What General Ma said is extremely true, in this way, along the way, you and Li Qing will ambush the army on the flank, not too much, but they must be the best archers, if the Qing army does not pursue them, then they will always shoot them on the flank, if they send people to pursue, then the pursued people will retreat in this direction, there is a deep valley here, they will lead the pursuing Qing army there, and when the time comes, I will send General Jin to do a good ambush there, as long as they dare to chase over, there will be absolutely no return. And they are chasing, and there are archers behind us who are ambushed on the flanks and shoot them, which does not affect our plans, even if someone comes out to chase and kill, then we will still lead to that canyon, where can we bury them! ”

"General Jin, you lead all the 1,500 people under your command to set off, go to this canyon to do an ambush, if the Qing army comes, leave them here, don't leave me alone, and then we will fight with the main force of the Qing army, or those three cannon shots as well, when General Ma leads the troops to come to the rescue, you will watch the battle, depending on the battle situation, if we have already won, then you will take people to cut off the retreat of the Qing army, and they can't let them have people who retreat, if they are still anxious or we can't be full, Then you will rush in with people, we also used this strategy last time, and this group of Qing troops will not think that we still have a second reinforcement. ”

I believe that in this way, it will be really difficult for the Qing army to be undefeated.

"If you still have any opinions, quickly digest them, if you don't understand, and any better strategies can be boldly proposed, this time we must unite as one, otherwise it will be a catastrophe."

As soon as I said this, everyone nodded, indicating that there was no problem, but Ma Ling stood up: "General, then we really don't ask for reinforcements?" What if only 20,000 Qing troops came? I think if there are only 20,000 people, we can ask reinforcements to come to the rescue, so that the odds can be greater, and we can also reduce our casualties. ”

"Please rest assured at this point, I have already sent people to General Wang Qi and General Wenxian Damo, I will repair the book to them, and the letter makes it very clear that if there is no other Qing army, they will bring troops to rescue. However, we can't expect reinforcements to come to the rescue, we have to rely on ourselves so that we can fight this battle better! ”

At this time, everyone nodded, seeing that they had nothing to say, I said: "In this case, everyone immediately go to order troops and generals, I will lead 13,000 people to stay in the county seat, and answer you at any time, the generals can rest assured that they will carry out the order, I can keep you speechless, and when the Qing army arrives in this city, I will let them have no return!" ”

Everyone received the order, walked out of the county office with the military warrant, and watched General Ma and Li Qing walk in the back, and I stopped the two of them again.

"Two generals, whether they can defeat the Qing army this time, and whether they can take the bait depends on whether you can bring them in!"

I hugged my fists and bowed, I don't know what kind of person the other party is, what kind of fighters it has, the combat effectiveness of the army, etc., and this kind of war is the most bottomless.

Although it was very well arranged and rigorous, there was still a faint uneasiness in my heart.

"General, don't worry, this time I will definitely let the Qing army get into the cage without knowing, General Ma will go to my barracks to extract three thousand men and horses in a while, we believe that as long as they come, they will definitely not be able to go back."

Li Qing's words made my heart boil, in fact, I asked him to stay because I wanted to tell him about letting him allocate 3,000 men and horses to General Ma, General Ma only had 2,000 men, and he needed to be there to do it.

Now that he has directly mentioned it, it also shows that Li Qing is very broad-minded, and at this time, he really can't care about one gain or one loss.

"General, please rest assured, I will definitely bring back these 3,000 men and horses of General Ma intact, we are all brothers, and his soldiers are also my own brothers, I will definitely protect them on the battlefield."

General Ma's words also moved me a lot, as long as he has such a heart, and the two of them have such a heart, then it is strange that this battle cannot be won!

"General Ma, I believe in you, General Li and I also believe in you, both of you are my good brothers, all the soldiers here are my good brothers, what I want to see is that everyone you go out can come back intact, not a certain person, this time I will ask you!"

As I spoke, I gave them another fist, and the two of them returned the salute and walked out of the county office with me.

Ordering troops and generals, Li Qing sent 3,000 elite men and horses to General Ma, and he also selected 5,000 people, as well as nearly 2,000 people from Jin Erfat, a total of more than 12,000 people, each of whom received grain and grass and went out of the city to prepare for war.

When General Ma was leaving, he came to me and asked me why he gave him 3,000 men because his 2,000 men were relatively strong in combat, and I should have left those 2,000 men to defend the city, and allocated 5,000 men to him.

For this, I smiled and said to him: "Your two thousand men and horses are treasures, but there is a sharp sword on the battlefield, they charge and kill on the battlefield, that is unstoppable, as for defending the city, Li Qing's people are familiar with the county seat, and it is okay, and it doesn't hurt that the people defending the city have poor combat effectiveness, but they can rush and kill on the battlefield, if the combat effectiveness is poor, then it is very likely to lose their lives, so I sent your people to go, and you are going to bring them back to rescue, so it can't be too bad!" ”

Hearing me say this, General Ma nodded and led his army out of the city.

In fact, his 2,000 people play no less role on the battlefield than the 5,000 ordinary soldiers, but they are all elite divisions.
