Chapter 055: New Strategy
"Nearly 1,000 knights in our battalion broke through, and Yixian and Fanyang counties are still under the control of the rebels." I said with some shame.
"That'...... The Battle of Gwangjong is not over yet? Han Fu asked anxiously, with a disappointed look on his face.
"It's not over yet."
"Then why did the captain go deep alone this time, could it be that he came to save us?"
This Han Fu also thinks of himself too much. There is no need to talk about saving him, it is still worth saving the frustrated students first. I thought so in my heart, but my mouth had to say something nice.
"We received information that Han and Fu were reluctant to abandon the city and go with the people of the city, and finally fell into the hands of the rebels because of lack of help. This captain is here to save him. By the way, add a little chaos to the rebels and turn their big rear into the big front of our army. I replied with a smile.
Han Fu listened to me and laughed again and again. It seems that well-intentioned panic has a significant effect.
"It was a good ploy to break through the blockade and turn the rear of the enemy army into a front line. The captain is strategic. He gave a thumbs up.
"I'm ashamed to say that this strategy was not conceived by the captain, but by Mr. Tian Feng's big hand."
"Tian Feng?" Frustrated.
"You mean to take over Tanaka? Isn't he home? How do you give advice to the captain? Han Fu asked in disbelief.
He was the only one in the world who could come up with such a bold plan. It is really a wise and courageous move that an adult can lead a thousand horsemen deep into the enemy area. Han Fu praised. I thanked him in return.
"Do you know Tian Feng?" I asked, turning to Frustration.
"When I was young, I was in a private school. Dare to ask Brother Tian what is the second half of this plan? ”
"There is no second half of this plan." I replied in amazement.
"My lord, don't you believe the lower officials?" Frustrated asked.
"Lord Frustration misunderstood. When Mr. Hida offered me this strange plan, I didn't listen, and he left angrily. ”
"Brother Tian is still so impatient, seeing that the adults didn't understand for a while, he left alone, and the rest of the plan was rotten in his stomach." Frustrated with a smile.
"How does Brother Frustration know that there is a second half of this plan?" Han Fu interjected and asked.
"The captain led the light cavalry into the rear of the rebels, which was a ploy to die and survive. Now that the adults have plunged themselves into the encirclement of the rebels, it can be said that they have been put to death, but there is no way to 'live'. ”
"What the county order said is reasonable, please also advise our army on the way to live." I took a long snort.
"This life is not another. Don't mention it. "Frustrated with the way of pretending to be B. All talented literati are like this. You have to ask again and again before you say it.
At the moment, I am messing around in the rebel-ruled area, and I may not be able to toss for a few days before the reinforcements from the rebels rush over to pack up the same.
"Please teach me. Don't wait for us, but also for the sake of the overall situation of the Han counterinsurgency. "I said. This is the first time I've done it, and I can't imagine that I didn't give it to the pig, but I gave it to the frustration, which is not bad.
"Good. The lower official said it directly, but it was up to the adults to decide whether to do it or not. ”
"I will do it."
"This is the northern part of Jizhou, and Guangzong is in the middle of Jizhou. When the two armies of the Han and bandits fought in formation, the captain could take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and sneak attack the camp commanded by the bandits. Then the rebels are bound to be in chaos, and our Han army can wave their troops to cover up. In one fell swoop, the bandit army was routed. ”
"Let's not talk about whether we can sneak attack. If I sneak attack, can the Han army on the front line know? ”
"The two armies are fighting each other, if General Lu can't even tell whether the other party's command camp has been attacked, then he can't be this general." Frustrated replied with a wave of his sleeve.
"Then our army will immediately move south and go straight to Guangzong."
"Captain, no. The lieutenant had already broken through, and it was impossible for the enemy not to report Zhang Jiao. Since Zhang Jiao already knew this, he must have made preparations to prevent crimes. ”
"Wouldn't that be a sneak attack?"
"Yes." After thinking about it, he replied categorically.
"The adults first swept the northern part of Jizhou several times, and made the next posture of not going south. After a long time, Zhang Jiao will naturally relax his guard, and then suddenly go south. It can have the effect of taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared. However, this is ......"
"Thank you, sir, for your advice." I interrupted him because I understood what he was going to say.
The enemy commanded a large battalion to be attacked, and the surrounding rebels were bound to come to the rescue. In this way, my thousand horsemen are in danger no matter what. These words must not be heard by others, otherwise the morale of the army will inevitably be affected.
Frustrated gave me a look and nodded to understand my concern.
"In that case, we parted. There will be a period later! I said goodbye.
"Wait, how can you not take me with you?" Frustrated, he said urgently.
I leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Sir, let's serve the country with a useful body." After speaking, I turned to Fan Yang and laughed, "I'm sorry everyone. There are no extra horses in the army, so you can do it yourself. ”
After speaking, without waiting for them to react, he raised his whip and led the army away. I believe that they can take care of themselves, otherwise they are not worthy of being officials of the big man.
Of course, the matter of sending to death is done by our martial arts. They are literati, how can they do this.
In the afternoon, we successively "swept" several cities and towns in Gao County, including Gaocheng. He didn't do anything, just kill all the officials appointed by the Yellow Turban. Then they opened a warehouse to release grain and help the refugees in the city. In the end, we replenished the grain in the warehouse of the town yamen for two days.
Unexpectedly, the 120,000 army formed by Zhang Liang wiped out all the soldiers defending the city here, so that my cavalry to attack the city was so simple that I didn't have to waste any effort. The east gate enters, the west gate exits, the north gate enters, and the south gate exits. It's really indescribably chic.
The day after tomorrow, our army entered Bohai County, and when passing by a forest, it was pouring rain all day, and we had no choice but to hide in the woods to avoid the rain. The trees inside are lush, and most of the places are not rainy. But we ran out of food in the evening, and the whole army was looking forward to going to the rebel yamen in the city to get some food the next day. Unexpectedly, the heavy rain continued the next day. We tried to ride horses outside the woods, but the roads were muddy and we couldn't do it.
In desperation, I had to look for wild fruits in the woods, and what was infuriating was that there was not even a single fruit tree in the huge forest.
A small village could be seen three miles east of the woods, and we all swallowed our saliva and silently looked at the curling smoke from the chimney, and none of us paid any attention. No one went to ask for some food. Because everyone knows that with more than 900 people, it is impossible for such a small village to provide the first half of the meal. To be full together, to be hungry, and of course to be hungry together.
So, we were hungry all day. By the next day, they couldn't take it anymore, so some knights tried to eat weeds and bark. Those things are not poisonous, but they are bitter and hard to swallow, and it is really hard to vomit in the stomach. Looking at their uncomfortable expressions as they chewed grass, I was even more reluctant to touch them.
On the third day, it was as if God was working against us, and the rain did not stop for half an hour. I was too hungry to do anything, and I was lured by the monkeys to eat dried tree bark. The taste is too bitter, worse than the rancid water eaten by pigs.
I'm hungry. No way, after chewing the bark of a small tree, my stomach finally stopped growling. And my teeth hurt so much.
The most painful days have not yet passed, and it has been raining heavily for four days and it has not ended. On the morning of the fourth day, the monkeys came to report that more than 100 people had come to the south of the forest to take shelter from the rain, all of them with not hoes but sticks, and they looked like homeless people.
The whole forest is long and narrow, stretching for miles. We were gathered in the north, so they didn't notice us at all. After listening to the monkey's intelligence, several of us immediately touched it. Hide nearby and eavesdrop on their conversations. From what they heard, they were thieves here, who had just ransacked a large landlord's mansion and fled here to escape the limelight. He also raped all the women in the yard, and one of the older men laughed lewdly that the little girl was the most secretive.
