Objectively speaking, even if there is a mistake in the first four steps, it will not cause much damage to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Moreover, even the initiative is still firmly in their own hands.

It's just that it will take some time and effort to find the fighter again.

......

As soon as Hua Feng, the new official, took office, he was "fiercely fired" again and again, burning the morale of the whole army and raising their morale.

Although there are many things to do, everything seems to be in order, busy and not chaotic. Moreover, we have made the best use of our talents and materials.

However, in just a few days, Hua Feng's reputation in the Northern Expedition Righteous Army has risen in a straight line, and he has really achieved "the order must be carried out, and the ban must be stopped." ”

Handsome demeanor, unobstructed.

Therefore, Hua Feng's position above the throne is well deserved.

The reason why he was able to do his own work as a commander so handily was that he had been fully prepared in terms of physical and psychological health, ability and quality, and knowledge reserves, and this was precisely the result of accumulation and development.

"If you want to inherit the throne of a king, you must inherit the weight of a crown. ”

There is both the ability of "bearing load" and the opportunity of "bearing", and the upper position has become a matter of course.

......

A day later.

The Northern Expeditionary Army, except for a few people with special tasks, such as scouts, improvised cookstove diggers, etc., the rest of the men and horses have all infiltrated the ambush area.

It really moved like the wind and walked without a trace.

Two days later.

All five steps are ready.

The group of people who are responsible for using the smoke to confuse the enemy and chaos the enemy, and even the firewood has been prepared.

......

Three days later.

The enemy is on the looks.

There was a scout who turned around: "Report to Commander Hua, find the enemy." ”

"Distance?"

"Sixty miles away. ”

"Directions?"

"Before, the Chinese army came from the road. ”

"Amount?"

"About 10,000 people. ”

"Are there cavalry?"

"Yes, about 500 rides. ”

"Is the enemy separated?"

"No, all in one place. ”

"Okay, hard work, explore again!"

"Yes!"

......

After the scout left, Hua Feng did not hesitate at all, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered each group of people to immediately take their positions and start their actions.

The ultimate target: the enemy vanguard!

The plan is delicate and brewing repeatedly.

Be decisive and resolute.

This is the true portrayal of Huafeng's actions this time.

When formulating the battle plan, he discussed it with Luo Zhanjun and Duo Si for a whole day, and everything had to be carefully considered.

Once the plan is made, it is resolutely implemented without hesitation.

This style of acting is a must-have for a generation of famous marshals.

......

Some commanders act recklessly, do not use their brains in making decisions, make decisions quickly, and act quickly.

As everyone knows, its speed is fast, but it is often "a small difference, a thousand miles wrong." ”

Some commanders are cautious in doing things, and even if they have already considered it in advance, they still have to think about it repeatedly when the matter comes.

In this way, there is nothing to say about its stability, but it often delays the fighter. In the end, I had to regret the empty sigh "The opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come again." ”

......

The scout's report, in addition to what is on the surface, reveals three pieces of information.

First, those who come will be the vanguard of the enemy.

The marching strategy adopted was a mixture of infantry and cavalry.

It is not like the army of many thoughts, with pure cavalry as the vanguard.

Second, the enemy army came from Niutouling.

It seems that Hua Feng's previous guess has already been true: this army is here to eliminate the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Third, the enemy forces are extremely cautious.

Although he won three consecutive battles, he was not carried away by the victory.

It is not like the vanguard army that has thought too much, and the lone army that shows off its power is deep.

It can be seen that the leader of this army is extremely stable.

......

After the enemy's three-way army joined forces at Niutouling, there were a total of 60,000 horses. The vanguard army only sent more than 10,000 troops, and the possibility of its temptation was extremely high.

This shows that the enemy army attaches great importance to Hua Feng's "invincible vanguard army".

It stands to reason that this should not be the case.

After all, according to the previous distribution of troops, Hua Feng's first division only had more than 5,000 people.

With 60,000 people, attack 5,000 soldiers, why make such a fuss?

There may be two reasons for this.

One of the reasons was that the rebels who had fled in the previous three wars came to join the "Invincible Vanguard Army".

lest a small amount become a lot.

The second reason, as mentioned above, must have known that although the "Invincible Vanguard Army" is small in number, it is powerful in battle.

Therefore, they dare not despise it.

......

For whatever reason, this army is not easy to deal with.

Not only is it more powerful, but it is also so cautious that it can be said that there are no obvious loopholes.

Hua Feng was thinking about it, and the second batch of scouts came to report.

This batch of scouts is in the same direction and different batches as the first batch of scouts.

......

The time difference between the two batches of scout reports is no more than half an hour at most.

The crowd of 10,000 marched ten miles, and it only took half an hour.

It's coming so fast!

Such a speed can't help but be astonishing.

It can be seen from this that the combat strength of this army is definitely not weak.

......

"Report to Commander Hua, a total of two teams of enemy troops were found. The first team has about 10,000 people, and the second team has about 40,000 people. ”

"How far are the two teams apart, how far are they from here?"

"The two teams were about twenty miles apart. The first team is currently about fifty miles away. ”

"Are there cavalry, how many?"

"The first team had, about five hundred horsemen, and the second team did not find a large group of cavalry, except for a few sporadic horsemen. ”

"Okay, hard work, probe again! ”

"Yes! Thank you, Commander Hua, for your concern. ”

......

Judging from the reports of the two groups of scouts, the situation of the enemy is already very clear.

The previous three-way army has already gathered troops in one place.

The distance between the vanguard army and the main force was only about twenty miles.

The strength composition of the vanguard army, the main force, and the rear army was 10,000, 40,000, and 10,000 respectively.

The distance between the main force and the rear army is guessed to be about twenty miles.

......

The "bait" has been cast, will the "fish" take the bait?

Even those who are as witty as Hua Feng dare not assert.

It can only be "planning things in people, and success in heaven." ”

But then again, "it's man-made". As long as you identify the goal and then work tirelessly for it, there will always be the possibility of success.

......

After the men and horses who performed the first four steps left, Hua Feng immediately began to arrange the fifth step.

At this point, it was noon.

Ambush area.

Hua Feng, commander of the Northern Expedition Righteous Army, Duan Jinchao, the chief general of the "Invincible Vanguard Army", Meng Qi, the chief general of the Left Army, Lei Chongtian, the main general of the Right Army, Luo Zhanjun, the deputy general Fengliu, and Lei Chongxiao, the commander of the rear army, a total of seven people sat in a circle and began to refine the ambush operation.

After some heated discussions, the ambush plan was finally introduced.

......

The "invincible vanguard army" with the strongest combat effectiveness took the lead.

There are two main tasks:

First, lure the enemy into an ambush.

Fight and go, luring the enemy into an ambush circle.

Second, force and drag.

As soon as the enemy enters the ambush circle, he immediately turns his horse's head and attacks him head-on. Efforts were made to hold back most of the enemy's forces and prevent them from escaping.
