Chapter 77: Encircling and Attacking Thousand Caves (2)

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Yun Tianjia woke up the soldiers of the battalions, ordered them to make a fire and cook, eat a full meal in a real way, and then take a short rest, then set off from the camp, first walking slowly, then running fast, and marching into the Thousand Caves.

In the afternoon, the Tianjia Army was still twenty or thirty kilometers away from the Thousand Caves.

The spy team suddenly came with news, saying that the Long He army appeared at the Broken Dragon Gorge Waterfall early in the morning, and after the whole army jumped off the waterfall, they unfortunately fell into the ambush of the Five Elements Sect, and the two sides started a desperate struggle.

As for the casualties, it is not yet known, because the enemy forces around Sleepy Dragon Bay are densely packed and layered, and it is impossible to get close and observe.

The spies are so far away that even with binoculars, they can't really see the specific situation.

"Sure enough, sure enough!"

Yun Tianjia took a deep breath and urged the battalions to speed up their march, and after half an hour, they came to the foot of Qianguling Mountain.

Xiong Zhuang didn't take a breath, lifted the giant axe, and rushed forward as soon as he took the lead.

Yun Tianjia hurriedly stopped and said, "Our task is to save the Longhe Army, not to fight the Thousand Cave Ridge, so we can't come brutely." ”

Xiong Zhuangzhuang was puzzled and said: "You said that Wei Wei saved Zhao to fight Qianguoling first, and now that you are in the place, you don't let you fight, what do you want, tell me clearly." ”

Yun Tianjia looked up, the faint sunlight penetrated the trees, pulling out a long and oblique mottled shadow, and after a few moments, the sky would be completely dark.

He knew that Long Hejun's side must have reached a critical moment of life and death, but if he wanted to save them, he couldn't rush to save them. There are too many enemy troops, whether the Tianjia Army is fighting the Thousand Caves Ridge or directly attacking the trapped Longtan, they will not let go of the Longhe Army, but will definitely divide a part of the troops, first contain the Tianjia Army, and then go all out to deal with themselves after completely destroying the Longhe Army.

His heart was beating like a drum, he took a breath, broke off the branches, and scratched on the ground: "This is Qiangu Ridge, this is Sleepy Dragon Bay." Between the two places, separated by fourteen miles, there were seven or eight valleys. There are more than 100,000 enemy troops in Sleepy Dragon Bay, and they rush directly, and it is difficult to rush into it in a short time. The enemy army in Qianguoling is about 5,000 soldiers, and there are 20,000 old and weak women and children, which is relatively easy to fight. However, the Five Elements Sect is proud of the large number of people, and if we fight the Thousand Caves Ridge so quietly, the enemy may not be able to save it with all its might, and if the enemy army does not come to save it with all its strength, it will not be able to relieve the siege of the Longhe army. So we had to divide our forces and use some ingenuity. ”

Li Siyun, the chief captain of the auxiliary team, couldn't believe it: "We only have more than 500 people, and we still divide our troops against more than 100,000 people in the Five Elements Sect?"

Yun Tianjia already had a clear plan in his heart at this time, nodded, and continued: "Yes, it's a division of troops. Three teams of the Giant Axe Battalion, one team is responsible for attacking the Thousand Caves, the movement should be loud, the shouts should be loud, but there is no need to really fight, if the enemy chases out, turn around and run, if necessary, you can throw a few grenades to scare them;

A team cut down trees, pulled them to the foot of the mountain, dragged them back and forth, raised dust, and if they still had leisure, whether they were waving flags and shouting, or scolding and flirting, in short, they did everything possible to make the illusion that there were many soldiers and generals.

The remaining team, led by Xiong Zhuangzhuang himself, and the two teams of the Wind Camp went with me to Sleepy Dragon Bay to support Long Yuandong. ”

Zhong Dinghe hurriedly said: "Then what are we doing in the heavy shield battalion? We don't just defend, we can still charge!"

Yun Tianjia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The greater the movement on this side of Qianguo Ridge, the more unstable it is on the side of Sleepy Dragon Bay. After a long time, troops will inevitably be sent to help. The task of the Heavy Shield Battalion is to go to the valley between the two places, and make use of all favorable terrain and tools to block the enemy's reinforcements in a dignified manner, no matter how fierce the enemy's attack is, at least for half an hour! The more you kill the enemy and the more firmly you defend, the more the enemy believes that we really want to fight the Thousand Caves, and the more enemy reinforcements will be attracted. When you really can't stand it, you must retreat decisively. You have to grasp the proportions of the period. ”

"It's pretty much the same!" Zhong Dinghe straightened his chest and said: "Don't worry, I promise to guard the valley mouth, so that every inch they advance will pay a huge price!"

Li Siyun said: "Our auxiliary team ......"

Yun Tianjia pressed his hand, signaled him not to worry, and said, "Of course, the auxiliary team will also participate in the battle. After the retreat of the heavy shield battalion, the enemy reinforcements will inevitably pursue them. The auxiliaries need to set up an ambush on the way to retreat from the heavy shield camp in advance.

This ambush should give full play to the advantages of muskets, explosives, and grenades of the auxiliary corps, and kill them by surprise. Hand-to-hand combat is not your forte, so try to avoid direct contact with the enemy. When you kill to a certain extent, you should accept it as soon as you see it, and never use up all the ammunition.

After the heavy shield battalion led the enemy into an ambush, it immediately returned to cover the retreat of the auxiliary team, fought and walked, and finally joined up with the two teams of the giant axe battalion that feint to attack the Thousand Caves Ridge, interspersed to the east, selected favorable terrain, gained a firm foothold, and then set off fireworks to guide and meet the breakthrough of my and Longhe army. ”

Gong Luoluo applauded and said: "Encircle the point to send reinforcements, and go straight to the Yellow Dragon." Encirclement is a bluff that makes the enemy unaware of what is going on, and the people are panicked; sending reinforcements is a short-handed encounter, a tough encounter, and a show of the enemy's strength; it can continue to mislead the enemy's judgment, further attract the strength of the enemy troops trapped in Longwan, and reduce the pressure on the Longhe army, and can also lure the king into the urn and take the opportunity to destroy part of the enemy's new force; however, whether it is an encirclement point or a reinforcement, it is only a prelude. The real show is still in our surprise and smashing Huanglong.

This is called the Ming Xiu Plank Road, and the darkness is Chencang. Once we join forces with the Longhe army, we can join forces inside and outside, break through to the east, and jump out of the enemy's encirclement. ”

Yun Tianjia said solemnly: "Everything is easier said than done. The difficulty of this plan lies in the fact that when feints to attack the Thousand Caves Ridge, the enemy must not be allowed to see through the truth and the falsehood, and if it does, it must be improvised and adaptable, not only striving to protect itself, but also continuing to deal with them and making a noise.

When sending reinforcements, the heavy shield battalion must be able to hold on and master the rhythm, and the ambush of the auxiliary corps must be concealed and skillfully so that the enemy cannot detect the clues.

When the two teams of the Heavy Shield Battalion, the Auxiliary Corps, and the Giant Axe Battalion retreated eastward, they had to be quick and not be bitten by the enemy's tail. It's best to be able to explore the path in advance and make some deterioration traps in advance to hinder their pursuit. ”

Li Siyun said worriedly: "It's actually easy to do on our side, and we can make our own decisions about advance and retreat." There are only about 150 of you, and it is not an ordinary difficulty to quietly penetrate into the army of 100,000 without being discovered!"

"It's very difficult! But now, we can only face the difficulties!" Yun Tianjia said in a deep voice: "Do you have any other questions?"

The captain of the first team of the Giant Axe Battalion, Iron Wolf Hong Liang, asked, "Why are we retreating to the east instead of going west? Hanyuan County is on the west side. ”

"To the west to Hanyuan County, not only is the road long, but there are many enemy-occupied areas in between, so it is difficult to get supplies and reinforcements, and it is even less likely to successfully break out of the encirclement. Two hundred and forty kilometers to the east, there are border guards at Nanjin Pass, and they can almost reach it after a day and a night of rapid marching. When we arrive at Nanjin Pass, even if the enemy is all surrounded, we don't have to be afraid. ”

Zhang Linyue, the captain of the first team of the heavy shield battalion, said in confusion: "Since the border guards in Nanjin Pass are so close, why don't they come to help relieve the siege?"
