Chapter 569: Tactics
Belin pondered for a long time, and immediately came up with a new idea.
"Brother Zhang, is that Ankru credible?"
"So far, no flaws have been found."
"If this person is available, things will be easier!"
"Brother Bei, don't sell it, hurry up and talk about it!"
Belin picked up a twig and drew a rough figure on the ground.
"This is Tabriz, the main city of Aries, we are roughly in this position now, according to the original route, we can arrive in three days, but we are here to sneak attack, the biggest problem is that there is a possibility of encountering the army of Aries on the road, in case of early exposure of whereabouts, we can only return in vain, therefore, we go out day and night, and the speed of the march is relatively slow."
"If Ankru is willing to join forces, things will be easy!"
"Didn't he have five thousand men in his hands, and they all gathered together and raised an army to rebel."
Zhang Mao couldn't help but ask: "He only has 5,000 people in his hands, isn't rebellion equivalent to looking for death?" ”
Belin said: "That's what you want, the momentum must be big, and let the upper echelons of the Aries Kingdom know that I have rebelled, and I only have 5,000 people in my hands, come and beat me!" ”
Zhang Mao seemed to have pondered the taste, and said: "The sound of the east and the west, and the tiger is away from the mountain? ”
"Almost, not exactly!"
Belin tapped the ground with the branch in her hand and said: "The Aries Kingdom will never allow rebellion to occur, and we must gather the army to quell the rebellion as soon as possible. ”
The expression on Zhang Mao's face was mixed, with both worry and excitement.
What I'm worried about is that just a few hundred people want to directly end the Aries country?
What is exciting is that there are only a few hundred people, and there is really hope to end the Aries country!
Fuck, it's so exciting!
The next morning, Ankru arrived at the camp and shook his hand in fright when he heard that he had rebelled openly.
Zhang Maoshi was very dissatisfied and said, "Do you still want to save your emir general?" ”
"Of course the general wants to save it, but ...... It's too risky! ”
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger!"
Alejandro, who was in charge of the translation, was a little stunned and asked, "General, do you like tigers?" ”
"Fuck, it's not a tiger, it's a metaphor, it's a metaphor!"
"What analogy?"
"That's it, it's ......"
Belin took over the conversation and said, "It means that if you want to succeed, you must pay a price, if you are not willing to take risks, simply put down the knife and gun in your hand and go home to farm!" ”
Alejandro translated the words, and Ankru suddenly became anxious and said: "We are not cowards, we just don't want to die in vain, there is no point in dying like this!" ”
"Who said you were going to die?"
"However, we only have 5,000 people, and if we rebel now, aren't we sent to death?"
"You just shout slogans, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
"Shout slogans...... What's the use? ”
"I told you too much, you can't understand, in short, just do what General Zhang said, if you don't worry, take a step back and say, if there is really a day when the army is pressing, you can run, run to Tehran, or go west into the Ottomans, I will accept it."
Ancruz thought about it and said, "Are you really sure that you can rescue General Emir?" ”
Belin shook her head and said, "I'm not sure." ”
"I'm not sure what's the use of you saying this?"
Ankru was so anxious that he dared to play tricks on me?
Belin waved at him and said, "We are only responsible for destroying the main army of Aries, and you have to do the rest yourself." ”
"What did you say?"
"As long as you kill the main army of Aries, whether you want to save people or kill people, you can do it yourself!"
"I mean, where is your army? You can't just rely on a few hundred people to confront the main force of Aries head-on, right? You know, in the vicinity of Tabritz, more than 50,000 troops can be assembled in just a few days! ”
"The more the merrier, not afraid of more!"
"What do you mean?"
"You take five hundred men and follow us straight to Tabritz, while the others stay and start a rebellion."
Ankru's face was full of question marks, what is the use of five hundred people, even if five thousand people are killed, they will still be defeated.
Zhang Mao said impatiently: "Do you still want to save people?" If you don't save it, we'll leave today, you think about it! ”
"No, I ......"
Ankru is very helpless, are you all so reckless in war?
Such a few people, just kill them?
Belin said: "There are not many soldiers in the elite, why don't you have black sheep, I think you should have heard of it, right?" ”
Ankru suddenly woke up to the fact that the Black Sheep was the first to take the initiative to invade Tehran, and now it is gone.
At the beginning, the three-way army of black sheep, white sheep, and Timur pressed the border, and finally retreated, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the people is far beyond their imagination, and it is not impossible for hundreds of people to raid Tabriz.
"Okay, I'm done!"
Zhang Mao finally showed a smile on his face, patted Ankru on the shoulder, and said, "That's right!" ”
The next day, Ankru led people to attack local officials, opened warehouses to release grain, and relieved the people.
This move caused an immediate uproar, and the news reached Tabriz, where King Uzunhesai immediately ordered a counterinsurgency.
Aries had already signed a new covenant with Timur, and at this juncture, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
The army quickly assembled and poured towards the city of Tabriz from all directions.
In such an environment, the presence of troops on the road has become commonplace, and it seems that it is strange to have no army.
So, the five hundred cavalry that Zhang Mao brought out of Constantinople, the two hundred men that Belin brought out of Tehran, and the five hundred elites selected by Ankru, a total of 1,200 men, also galloped towards Tabriz.
All the Ming troops changed into the clothes of the Aries, and it is difficult to see the abnormality without looking closely.
Even when you meet other troops on the way, you can talk a few words together.
Three days later, the party came to the vicinity of the city of Tabriz and hid in the darkness of the night.
Ankru was familiar with the local area, and found a relatively remote jungle, about two miles from the city of Tabriz.
Belin looked around and nodded, "It's good here, it's all shrubs, and it doesn't affect takeoff." ”
Ancro pulled Alessandro and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Alejandro's original words were relayed, and Ankru was even more confused: "Take off, who wants to take off?" ”
Zhang Mao stepped forward and said, "Ankru, you take people to guard the perimeter." ”
Ankru asked, "Didn't you go to rescue General Emir?" ”
"It's not time yet."
"How long will it take?"
"Don't worry, soon!"
Ankru had a lot of questions, but found that he didn't know where to start.
The various behaviors of the Oriental people are so strange that people are completely confused.
At this point, be vigilant.
It's all here, what else?
According to the cordon drawn by Zhang Mao, Ankru divided the people into 20 groups, each group was responsible for a small area, and they could take care of each other, and any enemy situation could be transmitted in time.
"Colonel Ankru, look!"
Ankru looked up, then was stunned.
In the night sky, a bright lamp rises and then floats in the air with the wind.
Immediately after that, one, two, and three more were raised......
The lights were so big that I could vaguely see a figure inside.
Ankru thought he was dreaming, reached out and patted his cheek, closed his eyes, and opened them again......
It's not a dream, it's just a headlight, big enough to fit a person.
"You guys are here to watch, I'll take a look!"
Ankru couldn't hold back any longer and hurried to the center of the camp.
I saw a thick rope wrapped around the bushes, and at the end of the rope was the big lamp I had just seen, floating in the air like a kite.
At this time, most of the people were busy, but Alejandro was watching the excitement from the sidelines, so Ankru stepped forward and asked, "What is this?" ”
Alejandro said: "It's a new weapon of the Ming Dynasty, called the Kong Ming lantern. ”
"Kong Ming lantern...... What is it? ”
"I don't know, anyway, it's very powerful."
Ankru couldn't help but ask, "How do you know it's powerful?" ”
Alessandro gave him a blank look and said, "Do you know Constantinople?" ”
"Of course you know, the holy city of the Mediterranean is invincible!"
"How do you think of Tabliz compared to Constantinople?"
"That's incomparable, the gap is too big."
Alessandro said lightly: "Constantinople was breached by this weapon!" ”
Ankru didn't speak again after listening, but the look of shock on his face almost overflowed.
About half an hour later, four Kong Ming lanterns slowly descended.
Belin immediately summoned people to the front for a pre-war discussion of the four pieces of data.
When Ankru saw the recorder coming out of the Kong Ming lantern, his whole person was not good.
This thing is really carrying people!
I thought I heard it wrong just now, but it turns out that people really know how to fly!
"The wind direction is stable, the wind is on the strong side, it is not easy to control, I don't know if it will come down in the second half of the night."
"I don't think the altitude is enough, if you use cluster bombs, the flight altitude can be adjusted upward, and the wind direction and wind force will definitely change."
"No matter how high it is, it is dangerous, and besides, the rope has reached its limit and cannot be put anymore."
"It can be used together, and in short, we must have the parameters suitable for dropping cluster bombs."
Hearing everyone's discussion, Belin thought for a long time, and then said: "After the time, make two of the four ropes, and put two high-altitude observation posts up, this height is the first time we have tried it, you should be prepared......"
"I'll go!"
"I'll go!"
Before the words fell, some people were already rushing to heaven.
Others lost the opportunity and were embarrassed to grab it again.
Belin nodded and said, "After you two go up, you must pay attention to your physical condition at all times, and if you find something wrong, send a signal immediately." ”
Everyone got ready again, and when it was midnight, they released two observation lights again, pulled by two extended ropes, and slowly flew into the night sky.
Ankru watched the whole process of the take-off in amazement, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he did not stand on the opposite side of the Orientals, otherwise, he would not know how to die.
The two lights flew farther and farther away, leaving only two small dots, like the stars in the sky.
The Ming army was no longer surprised, but the Aries people knelt down and prayed as if they had seen the true God.
Belin looked at the hourglass, and after the two lamps rose into the air, they only stayed for a quarter of an hour before ordering someone to take them back.
It took a lot of effort for the rope to pull back because it flew too high, and finally, the two lights landed again.
"Big, big, big...... Adult ......"
In the middle of the bamboo basket, the recorder walked down tremblingly and took out a piece of paper.
In the bamboo basket of the other lamp, the recorder was in a similar situation, trembling all over, snot and tears, and there were white ice crystals on his eyebrows, which were slowly melting after being roasted by the fire.
Belin was just worried that she would fly too high and the temperature plummet, so she only stayed for a quarter of an hour.
It seems that this decision is really wise, if it is delayed, the two of them will have to be disabled even if they don't freeze to death.
According to the records of the two men, the wind direction and force at midnight were very stable and suitable for bombing.
To be on the safe side, observation lights are released on the ground once a day, and they are equipped with cotton clothes and quilts.
Ankru whispered, "When will the attack begin?" ”
Alejandro replied: "Don't worry, the wind may change at any time, at least for one night." ”
"Wait any longer, General Emir will die."
"It's useless if you're in a hurry, this is already the fastest way."
Zhang Mao walked over and said, "Tomorrow, you send some people into the city to find out the news in the city, and the emir, where he is being held, you must find out in advance, and when the time comes, you can take someone to save you, don't get lost!" ”
Alejandro translated truthfully, and Ancrou nodded yes again and again.
On the second day, the two teams changed into civilian clothes and entered the city from the north and south, and at night, they successfully mixed up again.
"The city of Tabriz has gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses, mainly stationed in the area of Dajiaochang in the south of the city, and the king of Uzunhesai has released a message that the rebellion in the south was provoked by the emir general, and tomorrow at noon, the general will be beheaded to give the rebels a warning."
Ankru was anxious, pulled Zhang Mao and said, "You promised me that you must rescue General Emir!" ”
"I didn't say I wouldn't save it!"
Zhang Mao pushed him away and said, "You listen to my brother, don't be impatient!" ”
Ankru came up to Belin again and said, "Please, we don't have time!" ”
Belin said disapprovingly: "Didn't you say that you won't do it until noon tomorrow, what are you anxious about?" ”
Ankru was speechless, isn't it urgent enough to be in a hurry at noon tomorrow?
Belin continued: "Gather your troops and act tonight! ”
Ankru was overjoyed and asked, "Do it tonight?" ”
"Haven't you been urging me?"
"Yes, but ......"
"Okay, don't do it!"
Belin waved her hand and said, "Now gather your men and horses, take advantage of the night to lurk outside the city, wait for us to launch an air attack, and then you are willing to save people or kill people, whatever you want." ”
Ankru hurriedly saluted, "Obey the order!" ”
