After Liu Tai gave Zhao An an order, he also wanted to see if Zhao An could take charge alone, and as for more, he could only rely on time to prove it, compared to Zhao An's vague treatment of the local people, or let it go.

After Liu Tai came to Laiwu, he immediately began to publicize his military history door-to-door.

First of all, it is necessary to publicize the reputation of Gou Xi Tubo, if he occupies Laiwu, he will inevitably use his cruel methods.

His army passed through Laiwu, and Laiwu would inevitably become a ruin, and even the grass would be pulled clean.

Publicize different things for different people, and for the soldiers, the purpose of publicizing Gou Xi's practice of the "Sunflower Art of War" is to make the soldiers not afraid of seeing Gou Xi.

The purpose of publicizing the reputation of Gou Xi Tu Bo to the local people is to enable the local people to share the same hatred and hatred, so that they can exert their subjective initiative, and drive them to lower their management costs.

The ultimate goal of all public opinion policies is, after all, to reduce the cost of management for the people.

Otherwise, if you force the people to work, and the people get tired of doing it, even if they can't resist, won't they still run away!

I have to say that Gou Xi is really not far from Taishan County, and Tu Bo's reputation may not be known in other places, but the people of Laiwu must have heard of it.

Therefore, Liu Tai did not need to be foreshadowed to publicize it, and it went very smoothly.

With the assistance of the local people, about 1,000 local soldiers in Laizhou were arranged to dig ditches outside Laiwuqu, arrange ground thorns, and extend the defense system as far as possible, not just in the city.

He led the army to Gou Chun and seized this opportunity to fight with Gou Chun.

At this time, Gou Chun obviously didn't expect Liu Tai's army to react so quickly, almost hearing that they were sending troops, they could gather soldiers in two days and then reach Laiwu, so this made Gou Xi and Gou Chun's army have a gap.

Normally, it is very normal to have a gap of about a week between the vanguard and the army, even if Qingzhou is quite close to Taishan County, so it is not surprising that there is a three- to five-day march distance between them.

After all, the task of the pioneer is not necessarily to take Laiwu directly, but to build bridges and pave the way, open the way to the village, and let the follow-up main force come over.

It's just that for others, the flaw that is not a flaw allows Liu Tai to seize the opportunity, so that Liu Tai has the opportunity to besiege Gou Chun, but in the final analysis, it is just an opportunity!

Gou Chun led his troops to camp on the hillside, where there was a rather large lake, and the upper reaches had living water veins, but because there had been no rain this year, the lake and river had dried up a lot.

This makes it okay for Gou Chun to occupy the upstream to get water, but it is impossible to attack the water.

As for the top of the mountain, Liu Tai can judge that Gou Xi has definitely arranged people to guard and prevent others from sneaking up from the back of the mountain, but if he attacks head-on, the other party will have a condescending advantage, and he is afraid that he will need to fill it with his life.

To be honest, how strong Gou Chun is, Liu Tai doesn't know.

But he has followed his brother to fight in the north and south for so long, not to mention a few brushes, but at least the quality that he should have as a general will definitely not be lacking.

And unlike Ma Tan, who just led the troops, no matter what whimsy you have, Zhang He uses hard power to eat.

Liu Tai looked at the crowd, "Everyone, is there any way to take the initiative to lure the other party out?" ”

At this moment, Liu Tai asked everyone, and everyone looked at each other, but they didn't pay much attention.

At this time, Chu Yi was in Taishan County, Liu Tai's rear, and he was mainly needed to maintain local stability and transport grain and grass for Liu Tai's army.

"Why don't you set a fire!" Tian Yu reminded with great interest.

"No, no, there is water around here, which may cause chaos, but it's not impossible to burn them!" Ge Xin shook his head when he heard Tian Yu's words.

"Why don't you ask the local people if there are any roads that can be bypassed and attack from behind the mountains!" Zhou Ping asked.

"Gou Chun followed Gou Xi to fight in the south and the north, and he was an experienced general, either he would build a sentry post or arrange manpower.

If you attack from behind, I am afraid that it will be a waste of the lives of my brothers. Liu Ming also shook his head and said.

To be honest, if it was just Gou Chun's vanguard, Liu Tai cut off their grain transportation road, and then slowly besieged it.

But the question is that I don't want to kill the other party before I join Gou Xi.

And Gou Chun obviously knows very well that as long as he guards until Gou Xi arrives, Liu Tai does not want to be attacked from front to back, then he will inevitably retreat to the small city of Laiwu.

And Gou Chun knows better than Liu Tai that Gou Xi's army will inevitably arrive here in three days at most, and even after receiving the task of being besieged, they will come faster.

"Let the soldiers start collecting grass and leaves!" Liu Tai pressed his head, and then said slowly.

"The general is going to use fire to force Gou Chun out?" Tian Yu said excitedly.

Liu Tai shook his head: "As long as the general who has camped once in a serious way, he will not leave such a hidden danger to the army."

Not to mention the trees around their barracks, they are afraid that the grass and trees have been cut down, and the fire will not burn them! ”

"What does the general mean?!" Hearing Liu Tai's words, Tian Yu asked curiously.

"Try it with a cigarette, and ask the local old farmer about the direction of the wind before burning, so that we don't suffer ourselves!" Liu Taidao.

"It's just that if there is smoke, the other party should be able to endure it for a few days!" Ge Xin worried.

Although everyone didn't know when Gou Xi would come, they were sure that they wouldn't give everyone five days at most, which couldn't even consume dry and pure food.

"There's no way, it's always more convenient to defend the camp than to attack." Liu Tai said here and looked around at the crowd,

"However, with the help of this smoke, we don't have a chance, but we only have one chance!"

"Please also make it clear to the general!" Hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone looked at each other and spoke.

"First of all, I need an army with very strong willpower, and then I need to execute a difficult tactic that requires willpower to overcome!" Liu Tai looked at everyone and said quite seriously.

"Please also ask the general to order!" At this time, Liu Ming, Ge Xin, Zhou Ping and Tian Yu all said.

Liu Tai opened his mouth and said, "Listen to me first, and then think carefully about whether the corporal under his command can complete this task!" ”

"First of all, I'm going to collect a lot of grass and trees, some of which I'll burn, but some of which I'll make into decorations on your body to help you hide." Liu Tai said quite seriously.

And when they heard Liu Tai's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but widen, because they vaguely thought of something.

Liu Tai continued, "After the smoke is burned, they need to climb while advancing towards the mountain, using the smoke as a cover to climb the other camp.

Our goal is to burn until the sun goes down in the evening, but your mission has only just begun.

You need to use the night to continue climbing, about a distance of at least 100 meters or so to each other's camp.

Then the army waits, and tomorrow it starts to light, and when we light the smoke again, you will use the smoke to launch a surprise attack.

At the same time, when our army discovers the riot in the other party's camp, it will take advantage of the situation to press.

In other words, this process requires you to capture the gate of the opponent's camp, and then hold the gate of the camp until reinforcements arrive! ”

Liu Tai continued: "The whole plan is to use smoke as a cover, forcing them to go down the mountain for a decisive battle is fake, but in fact, it is to cover your surprise attack.

It is even undeniable that it is really possible for the other party to hold back the smoke and go down the mountain for a decisive battle, and as a result, they will meet you who are not in formation.

Or maybe God doesn't like it, and the rain tonight will have a great impact on you, and even the fire will affect you if it's out of control!

Therefore, if you want to carry out this mission, you need to have the will to survive a night and continue to fight, and you need the tacit cooperation of the entire army.

So this army must be the elite, and the elite of the elite!

It's no joke, so I'll only give a maximum of 500 places, and if it fails, all 500 brothers will die! ”

"I'll go!" "I'll go!" Ge Xin and Zhou Ping hurriedly spoke.

Liu Ming and Tian Yu didn't choose to speak, Liu Ming shut up because he was now Liu Tai's direct chief of guard.

Although his status is quite detached, in fact, he is leading Liu Tai's personal soldiers, so naturally he will not do this.

As for Tian Yu, to be honest, the backbone of Tian Yu's subordinates was part of the original beggar army, although it has gradually been transformed with the integration into Liu Tai's army, but Tian Yu knows that it is almost impossible for his soldiers under his command to carry out this plan.

So Tian Yu chose to give up, but Tian Yu looked at Ge Xin and Zhou Ping with a little surprise in his eyes.

In order to carry out such a plan, how firm the conviction of their subordinates and soldiers they need to be, even if it is 500 people, but how harsh the requirements for the organizational strength of the army are, how can they have the confidence to dare to stand up and carry out this plan.

However, Liu Tai knew that the biggest difference between his army and the army of this era was the construction of the army's ideology.

Really speaking of the combat effectiveness of the army itself, there is actually not much difference between it and the army of this era, but because of the emphasis on the ideological construction of the army, sometimes Liu Tai can try to let them perform some tactics that are unbearable for ordinary troops.

"Ge Xin, your martial arts are stronger, so I'll leave this matter to you!" Liu Tai said and said to Zhou Ping, "Zhou Ping, you are better at frontal command, and tomorrow you will be the vanguard to support Ge Xin!" ”

"No!" Ge Xin glanced at Zhou Ping proudly when he heard this, and Zhou Ping only nodded silently.

Soon, after Liu Tai's army surrounded Gou Chun, the army began to collect the surrounding grass and branches.

It's summer now, and it's actually not difficult to collect these things, but it's rare how to quickly make these things into decorations on the soldiers' clothes, so as to hide the soldiers' figures.

Even if Liu Tai has a medical battalion, so there is no shortage of tools for sewing and mending, but in such a short time, it is quite troublesome to sew so many flowers and plants onto military uniforms.

The whole medical battalion, or the whole army, knew how to sew and mend, and it was only after they could barely make 500 simple cloaks covered by grass and trees.

When it comes to battle, as long as the cloak is taken off, these plants and trees will not affect the soldiers.

At this time, Gou Chun also carefully stared at Liu Tai's army under the mountain.

After Liu Tai's army surrounded him and the others, he didn't make any moves, which couldn't help but make Gou Chun feel puzzled.

In other words, in Gou Chun's opinion, since Liu Tai went out of the city to surround him, he obviously wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that he had not yet joined the main force of the army to eat himself, but now, ...... Why didn't they call?

It was because they didn't call that Gou Chun was very uneasy!

But at this moment, a sentry immediately came over and said, "The general's puppet Han army has moved!" ”

"Oh?!" When Gou Chun heard this, he was immediately surprised, but he said, "The pseudo-Han is preparing to attack?" ”

"It seems that the puppet Han army has piled up grass and trees under the mountain, ready to burn it!" The sentry said worriedly.

"Nothing!" Gou Chun said calmly, "The trees around the mountains and forests have been cut down to make houses, and there is no grass and trees around our barracks, even if the other party sets fires, they can't burn us."

However, send soldiers to the mountain spring to get water and prepare, if the other party really sets fire, we can deal with it! ”

Soon, as Liu Tai's army began to burn the moist leaves, bursts of smoke poured towards the mountain!

I have to say that Liu Tai did not set fire to the burns, but chose to smoke continuously, which Gou Chun did not expect.

Gou Chun could only shout despicable at this moment, and then asked the soldiers to cover their mouths and noses with wet wipes, endure the burning pain of their eyes, and still maintain order in the barracks with military discipline.

At the same time, Gou Chun also began to send people to constantly tell the soldiers, I will wait for the main army to come over in three days.

We have food and water here, even if we are smoked by the smoke, as long as we guard the camp tent, there will be no danger to our lives, and when Commander Gou Xi leads the army to come, he will destroy the puppet Han army under the mountain in one go.

Hearing the encouragement of Gou Chun's soldiers, although they were quite painful from the smoke, the army under Gou Chun's command still honestly guarded their posts, because they also felt that Gou Chun was reasonable.

At least he won't die if he is smoked, and when Gou Xi comes, he will kill Liu Tai under the mountain!

Just as Gou Chun was preparing for Liu Tai's smoky tactics, Liu Tai's eyes were on Ge Xin and his commander. Military history, as well as the soldiers, this military history is also to be on.

Liu Tai opened his mouth and said, "Gentlemen, are you ready!?"

It's still too late to quit, I will pardon you in the name of Liu Tai, but if you get into the smoke, you must not allow mistakes, because it is not only you who will die at that time, but also your comrades-in-arms.

If you feel that you can't complete the task, it's not a shame to quit at this moment, but it's a shame to involve your comrades! ”

"General, we have the ambition of Xinghan, what is the danger in front of us!" Ge Xin said.

Liu Tai did not answer, but looked at everyone, and saw that these people may be hesitating, but in the end, no one came out.

Liu Tai said slowly, "In the past, I asked you to read the Book of Han and fight according to the examples recorded in the Book of Han.

But I tell you that today's tactics have never appeared in the Book of Han, and that you are no longer imitators of war, but creators of war.

The success of this trip will create a new military history, and your achievements will be flaunted in history! ”

Hearing Liu Tai's words, the soldiers who had been imperceptibly cultivated by Liu Tai and admired history suddenly became even more excited.

Liu Tai didn't say much, just raised his fist and clenched it hard, and said loudly, "The army of tigers, block five with one!" ”

"The army of tigers, one block five!" But the crowd answered in unison!

"The whole army will set off after a small release!" Liu Tai ordered.
