Qiming 1158

Chapter 864 This dagger is poisoned
In this battle, in order to ensure victory, Shao Hongyuan arranged a hundred combat teams to enter Luoxiao Mountain.

He wants to cast a net widely and focus on salvage.

In this way, he tried to find the main force of the peasant army and fight with it, and then started hand-to-hand combat, consuming the living strength of the peasant army, and then winning.

However, everything was not as simple as he imagined.

He quickly reached Zhao Yucheng's ears through the peasant army's front-line reconnaissance team with his tactics of dispersing and dispersing.

Zhao Yucheng learned from the news from the front line that Song Jun appeared in groups in the mountains, which was completely different from the previous appearance of large groups and large groups. It was a small team.

Zhao Yucheng quickly judged that this was Shao Hongyuan's plan to fight the peasant army by increasing the flexibility of the army by fighting in small groups.

The previous experience of large troops being attacked day and night by the peasant army so that they could hardly move an inch made Shao Hongyuan think that the battle in large groups was unreliable, and the battle in small groups was the most reliable.

Zhao Yucheng suddenly laughed.

"I thought Shao Hongyuan had some talent. His army numbered as many as five hundred, but we didn't dare to go forward to fight him rashly, so we could only harass him, but if there are only a few dozen people, what can't he do? Do you think this will defeat us?"

Zhao Yucheng immediately ordered to go down, the soldiers of the first line of defense let go of the first line of defense, lead these scattered small troops into the second line of defense, and then cut off their retreat.

Then concentrate superior forces to destroy the Song army squads one by one.

Let these Song soldiers come in, but can't get out!

In order to deal with the invasion of the Song army, Zhao Yucheng spent several months setting up three lines of defense in Luoxiao Mountain, preparing to use the three lines of defense to block the Song army in case the Song army attacked Luoxiao Mountain with a strong force. Attack, try to delay time and consume the Song army's food and grass.

It now seems that if the attacking Song army is not large, he intends to prevent any Song army who dares to go deep into the Luoxiao Mountains without retreating.

After cutting off their retreat, these Song soldiers faced a dead end.

Either die or surrender.

The situation did not exceed Zhao Yucheng's expectations. This Song Soldier did not have any special mode of action.

Little by little, they carefully touched the mountain. Compared with the last time, they were much more vigilant. Whether it was lighting a fire or resting, they arranged a lot of sentries.

When in action, he will occasionally shoot two arrows around to see if there is an ambush.

But this was useless, because this time the peasant army also changed its tactics. The peasant army did not carry out sneak attacks. The people who carried out sneak attacks were all insects, and real men were only facing the front.

Under Zhao Yucheng's order, the peasant army guarding the main traffic road will fight against it, but it will never be willing to fight. First line of defense, enter the area of ​​the second line of defense.

The fact is also developed in this way, the Song army who fought with the peasant army and "winned" were all overjoyed and chased away, and there was no Song army wandering in the first line of defense and did not go deep.

At the same time, the peasant army also discovered the way that the Song army used the arrows to communicate with each other.

According to Xu Tong, one of the front-line commanding officers, after the sounding arrow was fired, the Song army often gathered several small teams to increase their strength to pursue the peasant army.

Many peasant troops lured the enemy into danger because of this, and they escaped thanks to their familiarity with the mountain roads, while some troops failed to escape and were surrounded by the Song Legion and died heroically.

So Xu Tong made a correct inference and informed Zhao Yucheng of the news. After Zhao Yucheng found out about this method, Zhao Yucheng thought of a good way.

A good way to destroy the living force of the Song army.

"General Zhao asked us to use the sounding arrow to attract a certain number of Song troops into the ambush area prepared in advance. After the Song army arrived, the ambush soldiers rushed out together, killing the Song army by surprise with our superior force."

After receiving Zhao Yucheng's instructions, Xu Tong, a member of the Military Affairs Department of the Jiangnan West Road Revival Branch and the second squadron of the Fifth Brigade of the Peasant Army, immediately understood the main point of this tactic.

So he immediately summoned the officers and instructors of his squadron to discuss and arrange this tactic, and the five hundred soldiers under his command had to fight in this way.

Xu Tong chose a valley and used the Song Army's sound arrow to attract the Song Army into it, attracting two Song Army squads.

The two Song Army teams really rushed into the valley, and then they found nothing inside and looked at each other.

By the time the officers of the two squads realized that something was wrong, it was too late.

The peasant army ambushed around the valley fired thousands of arrows, and under the rain of arrows, the Song army was caught off guard and killed many people.

Then the peasant army rushed out one after another, surrounded and killed the Song army's inferior force with a superior force of 500 people.

The remaining Song army had a good desire to survive, and they fought back and forth with the peasant army for a while.

However, the number of peasant troops was large, and the soldiers of the Song army were immediately surprised to find that the peasant army they imagined was like a beggar with a considerable armor rate, and the weapons in their hands were also very sophisticated.

Is this a rebel ant thief?

Is this the regular army?

Compared with the peasant army, the soldiers of the Song army did not have a high armor rate, and they could not take advantage of the face-to-face fight. Even if their military skills were relatively high, they did not kill the peasant army with one strike, but they were hacked to death by the peasant army. .

How is this played?
The dozens of Song troops who were surrounded quickly lost their fighting spirit. In the end, they were either killed or surrendered on their knees and stopped resisting.

Xu Tong's troops won the first battle, killing 45 Song soldiers and capturing 55, including two officers. Xu Tong was overjoyed, and immediately sent someone back to tell Zhao Yucheng the good news, and he dragged the two Song soldiers to start interrogation .

These two are also bachelors. They know that they will not survive if they cooperate honestly, but they also know everything. It seems that they do not mean to be loyal to Da Song and Shao Hongyuan.

"How many of you are here in total?"

"One hundred teams, a total of 5000 people."

"A team of 50 people?"

"Yes."

"They are connected with each other by the sound of the arrow, right? Once you hear the sound of the arrow, you should move as close as possible to the sound of the arrow, right?"

"You know all this?"

The two Song Army officers looked at Xu Tong with a little surprise.

Xu Tong leaned on the knife, and the old god was watching the two.

"I guessed it. I almost suffered a loss before. Fortunately, I'm smart, but you guys are not bad. It's a pity that we found out about this method. You are the first batch. Next, there will be many people and people. You are companions."

The two Song Army officers immediately understood what Xu Tong meant, and bowed their heads helplessly, admitting their defeat.

"I also ask the general not to kill us. We all have wives, children, and children. If we die, our wives, children, and children will be lost, and they will be very miserable..."

"Don't worry, it's not up to me to kill you or not, and I'm not interested in that either."

Xu Tong shook his head, looking at them like this, his eyes rolled, and he took it to heart.

"Take off your clothes."

"what?"

"If you take it off, take it off, what's so much nonsense! If you don't take it off, be careful and I'll fix you!"

Xu Tong stared and showed off the dagger at his waist. The two Song Army officers shivered, nodded immediately, and began to obey.

In a short time, the clothes of the 55 captured soldiers of the Song Army were all taken off. Xu Tong himself selected fifty capable and familiar soldiers to put on the uniforms of the Song Army. know the mark.

"Report your name, the number of the queue you belong to, and tell us all the important news, or be careful and I will fix you!"

Xu Tong once again showed his dagger to threaten the two Song Army officers: "This is poisoned, as long as you stab a drop of blood, you will all die, you know?"

The two officers were trembling all over, and the desire to survive soon dominated them all.
