The strategy they agreed on was a five-step process.

The first step is to use cooking smoke to confuse and confuse the enemy.

Four groups of 200 men and horses of the Chinese army, each with 200 men, dug simple cooking stoves and set fire to smoke more than ten miles apart.

The number of simple cooking stoves, of course, the more the better. to create the illusion that an army has just made a fire here to cook.

Of course, not at the same time.

Instead, in the order of south, south, west, and northwest, they are fired every three hours.

After completing the mission, immediately retreat covertly and quietly return to the team.

This method, Zhuge Wuhou also used it to retreat from the enemy.

......

The second step is to use a small force of cavalry to disturb and disrupt the enemy.

This plan was also used by Hua Feng 20 days ago, when he fought with Duosi too Niutouling, and the effect was wonderful.

The difference is that there will be two additional groups of people this time.

Just like the smoke to confuse the enemy and confuse the enemy, it is also divided into four routes, with 100 horsemen on each road, and within dozens of breaths after the smoke rises, galloping back and forth in the dense forest, shouting and killing in the air, creating the illusion that there are soldiers and horses moving.

However, it is farther and longer than building a stove to smoke smoke.

Because, the cavalry retreats quickly, and it can be closer to the enemy.

In this way, the enemy army is unwilling to pursue it, but it is too late to chase it, and it is bound to fall into a dilemma.

In this way, the first two steps of strategy will have the effect of disrupting the morale of the army.

......

The third step is to send elite soldiers to attack the enemy and exhaust the enemy.

This method has been mentioned by Hua Feng at the meeting before.

It was decided to send the other half of the four groups of cavalry, that is, 100 cavalry in each group, led by their respective leaders, to attack and harass the enemy from the south, east, west, and north.

The timing of the attack should be agreed upon by each group, and it is appropriate to wait about half an hour.

The number of sorties, at least two in the same direction.

The direction of the attack is uncertain.

......

Because, after a long interval, the enemy army may be more well equipped and may fall into a heavy encirclement.

The small number of times and the short intervals not only do not achieve the effect of disrupting, but the enemy army can easily determine that the people who attack successively are not the same army.

If the direction of the sneak attack is fixed like the first and second steps, it is very easy to fall into the enemy's encirclement.

Therefore, the enemy army will definitely be prepared: the southeast and southeast directions have been attacked, so will the next step be the northwest?

In this way, the two cavalry that attacked and harassed afterwards are likely to become "sheep in the tiger's mouth".

At an interval of half an hour, a series of two attacks can not only make the enemy unable to react, but also have no time to fortify, so he can only be tired of "fighting fires."

In this way, the "cavalry battalion" not only ensured security, but also made the enemy unpredictable.

Let the enemy not know how many soldiers and horses the rebels have, and what their intentions are.

This further increases the effect of the first two steps.

......

The fourth step is to attack and lead the enemy with an "invincible vanguard army".

It was divided into four waves, each with more than 1,200 people.

Duan Jinchao was on the way, and finally attacked, becoming the main force to lead the enemy.

As for the remaining three batches, their task is to defeat the enemy.

Strike back at a moment's notice, and never stop regardless of the outcome of the battle.

The way to retreat is not to go in a straight line, but to return in circles, so that the enemy has no place to go.

In the direction of retreat, the rebels ambushed the area.

The purpose of these three batches of attacks was to provoke the enemy army and make it "unbearable", so that there was "no need to endure it anymore" for Duan Jinchao, who was the last to attack.

......

The fifth step is to concentrate superior forces to surround and kill the enemy.

The first four steps are not an end, but a means.

They are all laying the foundation and paving the way for the fifth step.

The ultimate goal is to kill the enemy. It is to strike at the enemy's vital forces and weaken the enemy's army.

If the first four steps are successfully completed, then the plan will be more than half successful.

The task that takes on is daunting, but it is extremely simple.

Moreover, although there is a price to pay for completion, it is a sure thing.

After all, even if the enemy army has been concentrated in one place, it is impossible to raise an army to pursue more than a thousand enemies, and the most likely thing is to send forward troops, at most only half of the troops will be divided.

In this way, wouldn't it be easier to win this battle than when it was the first battle of Niutouling?

......

Of course, in order for this plan to be successfully implemented, there is also the most crucial part - the selection of the ambush site.

At this moment, Hua Feng was working with Luo Zhanjun and Duo Si to survey the terrain nearby.

They decided to find suitable terrain as soon as possible and enter the ambush area as soon as possible.

Because, at this time, the enemy army has not yet arrived, and they have ample time to make arrangements.

Otherwise, not only may you fall into passivity, but you may also be exposed.

......

The reason for choosing an ambush point near the station was due to the "geographical advantage".

This place is hilly.

Although the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the vegetation is very large, it is conducive to cavalry attack.

And there are no people living and no passers-by walking, so it is an excellent place for hidden ambushes.

Because, there is no need to worry about the exposure of the movement, and there is no need to worry about the misery of life.

......

Three days later.

After many investigations, repeated research, and careful argumentation, the most important part has finally settled.

No matter how wonderful and brilliant the strategy is, if the execution is not enough, it will be a waste in the end. If you are not careful, you may even be self-defeating and put yourself in a dilemma.

Therefore, Huafeng has always attached great importance to the implementation, personally grasped it, and grasped it to the end.

......

Next, Hua Feng convened a military meeting again,

The meeting was extremely brief, and there was no discussion, just listening to Hua Feng's work.

First, announce the battle plan.

The battle plan and operational steps agreed upon by the previous "decision-making and planning trio", as well as the division of tasks and the composition of forces, were briefly and concisely introduced.

At the same time, the issue of execution was also solemnly emphasized.

Second, send scouts to find out the enemy's situation.

This work is in charge of Duan Jinchao.

All sides must be taken into account, and at least two waves, to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Third, the army marched into the ambush area covertly and properly housed the wounded and sick.

This is personally grasped by Hua Feng, and all kinds of masters will cooperate closely.

Fourth, according to the division of tasks, each group immediately surveyed and selected the route of march and retreat.

After this work is completed, it immediately concentrates on the ambush area and waits for an opportunity to act.

Fifth, be familiar with the main battlefield.

After the meeting, the commanders of each group immediately accompanied the Luo Zhanjun to the ambush area to familiarize themselves with the main combat sites.

After confirming that each group had no practical difficulties in completing the set tasks, Huafeng immediately announced the dismissal of the meeting and quickly started according to the established plan.

At this point, everything is ready, just waiting for the enemy to fight!

......

All these arrangements are mostly from Hua Feng's thoughts.

Luo Zhanjun and the two of them thought about it more, but they made a few additions to the details.

From Hua Feng's mouth, it doesn't seem to be difficult, but if someone who is proficient in the art of war is careful and elegant, it is not trivial.

The whole plan is closely linked one by one, step by step.

Each step is important, but not indispensable;
