Section 53: Initiative
"Zhang Xiong captured the county seat? What about casualties? ”
The previous three troops, according to Wang Luo's orders, continued eastward after Bai Erjin's division was wiped out. They left the nearby hilly terrain and moved into a more populated area.
Since then, the connection has not been broken. Several units were sending back news at any time, bringing back a small number of peasants who were willing to join the army, and demanding more food from the big operation.
The captured county town was not large, and there were not many Han troops. The news of the division of land and discipline of the revolutionary army seems to have spread, and there was no mass exodus. After a short, not fierce battle, Zhang Xiongbu had entered the county seat and immediately began to divide the land.
"Commander Tie and Commander Lao Zhang have not encountered resistance along the way. According to the general's order, after relieving the victims wherever he went, many victims rushed one after another, and there was not much food left. The general is also requested to transfer it as soon as possible. ”
After the scouts finished reporting, Wang Luo was silent for a while.
The purpose of this dispatch is to lure the enemy out and solve it.
If Charles is a spy, then there is a good chance that he will hold a grudge and will get the message out; If there were other spies in the camp, a similar situation would well occur. Either way, the troops were indeed separated. For those enemies, it is already suitable for attack.
The emptiness of the camp is also intentional. Deliberately selling flaws, leaving weaknesses. He gathered the scout cavalry and ambushed two more elite troops near the main camp, waiting for the enemy to move.
As a result, three days after the dispatch of troops, the enemy did not attack again---- despite the deliberate dispersion of several units and even deliberately left alone.
There was no trace of the enemy in the camp. The news from Zhou Yingxiong was obviously deliberately relaxed the guard, and there was no sign of the enemy attacking.
A small number of scouts, and no more attacks. The team that had broken through himself with more than 1,000 people before seemed to have disappeared from this battlefield.
On the contrary, the several troops that marched eastward were progressing smoothly. The people in this area seem to have become accustomed to the presence of the "revolutionary army" and are not afraid of them.
If it weren't for the fact that the contractor couldn't leave this battlefield, Wang Luo really wanted to lead the team to the east. There was no main force of the Han army there, so it was possible to take advantage of the Han army and the Yellow Turban to train soldiers, train officials, propagate ideas, accumulate strength, and expand the ranks..... Fight steadily and steadily, and wait until you have the advantage of strength, and then march to the whole country.
However, it is not as ideal as the development. Even the county seat captured by Zhang Xiong, Wang Luo, and other contractors couldn't go.
Forget it, don't toss. Maybe the enemy saw through their ambush, or maybe they had other plans.... It doesn't matter what.
"The grain has been shipped and will be delivered soon."
"Pass my orders: after that, the big battalion will send people to preside over the division of land and the recruitment of troops. Tell Zhang Shi and Tiezhu's subordinates not to advance eastward again, and bring most of the main forces to rush back as soon as possible. Let them leave a small number of soldiers in the villages where they have been divided, and let them be responsible for garrisoning and recruiting new soldiers. Zhang Xiong's subordinates were ordered to continue to advance, and everywhere they went, they still divided land, recruited troops, and publicized policies. ”
"Whoa!" Several scouts were ordered to leave.
"Someone!" After they left, Wang Luo gave the order again. "Inform the troops everywhere, leave a small number of soldiers in the village area, and all the rest go back to the camp!"
"Whoa!"
The soldiers were ordered to go. Wang Luo sat on the chair and didn't move.
Although the plan was made by himself and the order was given by himself, recalling the news still gave Wang Luo some unreal feelings that changed history.
Can't leave. It is not possible to directly preside over the division of land in the newly occupied villages. I wonder what they're doing? Could something go wrong? What disputes arise?
There is no time! There may be an occasional genius who learns to speak in an instant, but cultivating qualified propagandists is not something that can be done in a few days. Not to mention the peasants outside, even those who shouted slogans in their own ranks, they may not necessarily understand the meaning of those slogans--- they just shouted loudly enough.
No... Don't worry about that, don't waste your energy on trivial things.
Wang Luo shook his head and shook the previous thought out of his mind. Otherwise, wasting energy is a trivial matter, and it is really bad to be led astray in thinking.
What's the most critical thing right now? Fight! This is a battlefield, what else can it be but a battle?
In the past few days, the small Han troops around have either fled or been cleared. All that's left is .... Capture the Han army camp at the ferry?
But what if reinforcements from the Han army came during the attack? Yang Wentian said that after defeating one side's main force too early, there is a high chance that reinforcements will appear, which is equivalent to a double increase in difficulty and rewards. But... When will it appear?
Capture the ferry camp, rendezvous with the main Yellow Turbans, swallow it, and adapt it. Grasp the initiative of the whole game, get the maximum harvest, and achieve the goal. However, the enemy is not weak, and the knowledge of their capabilities is far from enough.
If they used any props, once our army began to attack the ferry, the Han reinforcements would immediately enter the battlefield, plus that strange rain of blood.... It may lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
Even if there is such a danger, it is the most appropriate and proactive approach.
----
The camp of the Revolutionary Army, Charles's tent.
"They're back." A gloating voice said.
"yes." A listless voice echoed.
"It seems that not only the enemy, but even your regimental commander doesn't believe you anymore, haha."
Charles sat there silently.
Ranke looked at Charles in the room. In the past few days, the former deputy head of Wuzhou no longer has the previous scenery, and his expression is like a frosted eggplant.
The Yellow Turbans... Before the Revolutionary Army set out, the enemy leader (who, in Rank's case, the man who had ruined his allies and hopes, so he remembered it well) reprimanded Charles, which still made Ranke laugh.
There is no good person in Wuzhou. Even if his brother died, he would die on the battlefield, and Ranke would definitely take revenge if he had the chance, but when it came to hatred, there wasn't much. And the fact that Charles surrendered and kept passing information to the Wuzhou team (what Gettini told him) made Ranke very disdainful.
A villain is a villain, two-faced, treacherous, and never understands what honor is.
Unlike himself, even if he was defeated and captured, he maintained his pride.
The enemy this time was not harsh. After surrendering, you can still complete all kinds of simple tasks, and then exchange points from other captives. You can also ask them to help exchange for some food, medicine, and equipment.
Ranke thought so, looking at his task of "educating the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army to know at least 3,000 Chinese characters."
This kind of task is taught one batch at a time when the soldiers are resting; Textbooks are also specified. Using (Mao Zedong's Selected Works) to teach people to read? This doesn't fit perfectly, does it?
It is possible to find an object with sufficient time to complete it
Yes, the families of the soldiers, the women, they have time.
