The Qing army's current drinking water is taken from nearby mountain streams, which is living water. Not to mention the amount of poison required, it also polluted the entire stream.

How many people are this creek the water of life?

While poisoning the Qing army, how many people in the lower reaches of the creek will be affected?

With the benevolence of Huafeng, he will never be so unscrupulous, and he will never hurt the innocent without scruples.

......

Hua Feng's analysis and concerns made Chen Jinnan greatly admired and deeply agreed. Immediately afterwards, he also made a suggestion: use poisonous smoke.

Look at the direction of the wind, release poisonous smoke, and force the "snake" out of the hole.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this method.

The advantages are: the dosage is not high, and the wind blows away, which does not have much impact on the people who are a little farther away.

The disadvantage is that the wind blows away the smoke, and it is scattered in the sky, which is difficult to cause great damage to the Qing army. Whether it can make meritorious contributions is really uncertain.

Chen Jinnan's suggestion made Hua Feng's eyes shine: this method is feasible!

He believed that with Cui Shangren's unpredictable poisoning methods, he would definitely be able to make contributions.

After thinking about it and listening to Hua Feng's analysis, I also felt that this method was very good. is much more clever than his own reckless methods.

The first step is to force the enemy into battle, and the dust is settled!

......

Next, agree on the second step plan – a head-to-head showdown.

The Five Elements Great Array is useless, and people don't take the initiative to join the formation, so what can they do?

You can't capture it alive and throw it into the battle, right?

Wouldn't that be an extra move?

You can't ask people to join the battle with a dead face, right?

How is that different from asking someone to commit suicide?

Since the formation is invalid, let's face it head-on.

But even if it's a head-to-head showdown, there's a lot to be paid attention to.

It can not only be a strong collision of real swords and guns, but also a two-sided pinch, and it can also be surrounded on three sides.

......

The three ways have their own advantages and disadvantages, and Huafeng has made a detailed analysis of this.

Powerful collision.

It reflects the bloody nature and determination, and this method is generally not used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Hit on both sides.

If two iron tongs go hand in hand, the enemy can lose sight of one and the other.

However, both wings must be hard, and one must not be hard and one soft.

Otherwise, it will give the enemy a chance to break through.

Surrounded on three sides.

Because this tactic has repeatedly made achievements in the hands of Hua Feng, it can be said that it is extremely handy, so it is favored by it.

In this operation, Hua Feng is also preparing to adopt a three-sided encirclement strategy.

The art of war cloud "ten rules surround it". Although the Anti-Qing Righteous Army was insufficient, it was more than ten times more powerful in terms of combat power alone.

Therefore, it is entirely possible to adopt the tactic of encirclement on three sides.

......

At that time, the Qing army, which was in a state of encirclement, had almost zero ability to maneuver and detour, and would not be able to exert its due combat power.

Another characteristic of a three-sided encirclement operation is that the less room is given to the enemy to maneuver, the more obvious the disadvantage will be.

Although when the force is not in absolute superiority, encirclement operations often bring about a series of negative effects. Because compared to the enemy forces that break through from a certain point, the besiegers will be at a relative disadvantage in strength at each point.

Although it was possible to attack from the flank and rear of the Qing army, once the encirclement was broken through, the encirclement tactics would be declared a failure.

......

Hua Feng, who is good at summarizing, sorted out the key points of the three-sided encirclement operation into three aspects:

First, the three armies must maintain the same rate of advance, and both protrusions and depressions will give the enemy an opportunity.

Second, the commander-in-chief must strengthen observation and judgment and promptly deploy key defenses in the direction of his possible breakthrough. If necessary, a cutting split can be performed.

Third, they deliberately created the illusion that the enemy's troops were weak at a certain point, and then arranged for the front army, mobile group, cavalry battalion, and assault group to hide behind, and once again ambushed them by means of a three-sided encirclement battle.

That is to say, after the three-sided encirclement, there is also the three-sided encirclement!

Among them, the mobile group and the cavalry battalion were combined to increase the strength.

At the same time, the three armies that had been deliberately broken through before quickly closed up again, thus forming a double siege.

......

After listening to Hua Feng's analysis, Chen Jinnan and Duo thought about the two art of war, and they were all deeply impressed.

At the same time, it is also quite optimistic about its two-sided three-sided encirclement tactics in a row.

Under the strong encirclement of the left, right, and center armies, although the Qing army was overwhelming, it could only choose to break through.

Because under the encirclement, due to the small maneuver space, it is absolutely difficult to play the advantage of a large number of people. Only after breaking through the encirclement and opening up the space can it give full play to its tactical advantages in the crowd of people.

Fighting in a narrow space, where the front is full of corpses and obstacles, how can we "go"? How can we "follow"?

After the big enclosure, there is a small enclosure, and after the small enclosure, there is a large enclosure. Li Chengdong may never think of this.

Once such a situation is formed, it is not impossible to completely annihilate the Qing army.

......

After the three of them discussed the details for several hours, the specific battle plan was finally introduced.

The first step is to force them to fight.

was forced by the "human judge" Cui Shangren with poisonous smoke.

Hua Feng and Meng Qi, two people who are not afraid of poison, Hua Bukai, Tang Huaming, Liu Bufa, Ouyang Yudai and several other toxicologists who are quite knowledgeable will assist from the side.

As for the judgment of wind direction, it is grasped by Chen Jinnan, who knows everything about astronomy and geography.

......

The second step is to enclose on three sides.

The Chinese army was fighting head-on, and the left and right armies were hidden on both sides.

When the Qing army was dazed by the poisonous smoke and came out in disarray, the three armies first broke through with their respective cavalry, and the infantry quickly followed.

As a result, a three-sided encirclement is formed.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the Chinese army became more and more powerless under the strong attack of the Qing army, and had to fight and retreat.

Thus the Qing army was introduced into the small encirclement.

At this time, the Chinese army made a comeback, and the left and right armies attacked and formed a joint encirclement again.

As a result, the unexpected Qing army, under the panic, will inevitably be in chaos.

The siege begins!

The archery battalion, on the other hand, was hidden on both sides of the retreat route back to the camp, and once again carried out a surprise blow to the enemy who was fleeing back in confusion.

......

The reason why the Chinese army was chosen to show weakness was because all the Chinese army was the target of the enemy's main attack.

Because of the principle of "capture the thief and capture the king first", the soldiers all understand.

Of course, when the troops are insufficient, they will avoid them.

Because although it is tempting to capture the commander, the Chinese army is often the most powerful existence.

There is another reason: the Chinese army is the most powerful, and between retreat and advance, it can quickly support the encirclement composed of the front army, assault groups, mobile groups, and cavalry battalions.

If possible, it can also be quickly arranged into a large array of five elements to attack it in a formation.

......

The three members of the decision-making group are indeed not easy to match.

In just one day, preparations for the battle plan, troop deployment, and follow-up strikes were completed.

Objectively speaking, although it is inferior to Hua Feng and Chen Jinnan. But as the commander of the Qing army, he does have some uniqueness.

This can be found from the battle of Niutouling and a series of performances since following Hua Feng.
