Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 232
More than four hundred cavalry are not many, but it is the limit that Li Guojian can produce. It is impossible to transfer all the soldiers with horses, and it is also impossible to let people who are not skilled in riding and fighting go to the battlefield.Let people play with a knife!

Each of them is well-equipped, each carrying two quiver, and the mules and horses also carry a lot of arrows and bowstrings, some of them are even equipped with strong crossbows of the imperial army, and there are seven divine arm bows, all of which are stationed in the imperial army The storage in the battle vault is also a little kindness of Shangguanqian. He agreed to change it back after the battle. Who knows if he can change it back!Prepare more consumables such as arrows and bowstrings. Yes, Ma Jun is fighting the consumption of long-range projectile weapons. If you are not prepared enough, can you compete with others?Silly.

Along the way, they avoided the possible path of Song Jiang's army, carefully avoided the opponent's scouts, made a big circle from the north of Teng County, passed the northern foot of Baodu Mountain to the south, came to a cutting radius, and secretly pounced on In Lanling Town, Chengxian County, Yizhou, the actions were cautious but quick.

Song Jiang is divided into three groups, the north route is from Fei County to the east, and the horizontal movement covers the main force. Snipe Pengcheng and possible reinforcements from the Huaiyang Army, but their main supplies are in the east of Lanling Town, Cheng County.

Song Jiang was too cautious. He thought that the Xuzhou and Huaiyang armies might have reinforcements, and the soldiers and horses of other counties and counties on the East and West Roads of Beijing would also reinforce them, so he set up two interceptions and prepared to concentrate the main force to win the Liguojian in one battle. Huaiyang Army.

The ridiculous thing is that due to the obstruction of Wang Fu and Cai You, all the troops in Jingdong stayed on the sidelines, you let me and I let you, everyone's humility together greatly demonstrated the good custom of humility in the state of etiquette.

Cai Gengdao also happened to know that it is difficult for a daughter-in-law to live without rice, so he never had a smile on his face.

As for the Huaiyang army, they kept silent and kept their troops to protect themselves. They hoped that Song Jiang would not come to Xuzhou, and that he would go north to harm others after eating and drinking, and how could he send troops to support him.

"My lord, [-] miles ahead is Lanling Township, which is less than ten miles away from Chengxian County. There are more than a thousand bandits there." An old guide introduced the situation.

Wang Xiu was listening quietly. On the way, they avoided Song Jiang setting up two cottages to attack Zeng Xiaoyun, and also avoided Liangshan Song Army's rangers. It's not that they don't trust the friendly army. At this critical moment, your friendly army sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight. Let others trust?
Let you see, if the news leaks out, it will be a failure!He hoped that there would be no surprises, and the suddenness of tactics must be achieved.

"Sir, it's still early. Let's send people to the county to find out the military situation, and then we will do it at night." Feng Yuan's face was full of dust, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

There was a shortage of troops, and there were very few generals who were in charge alone. He decided to leave Qiu Fu and Shangguan Qian to defend the city to stabilize the overall situation of the country, and brought Feng Yuan, Jing Bo and Qiu Yun out. Qi's boys, stepping into the ranks of men, should undergo a few more trials of blood and fire to make them grow up quickly.

A man, a man in the army, can be called a man without leaving a few pots of blood and scars?
Wang Xiu looked at Feng Yuan with a smile, then turned to look at Jing Bo and Qiu Yun, and said gently, "What do you two think?"

Jing Bo and Qiu Yun looked at each other carefully, and Jing Bo took the lead and said: "I agree with the fourth brother's suggestion. Our army has been on the attack for more than two days, and we have already been exhausted. It is not too late to take a break before fighting."

When Wang Xiu's eyes fell on Qiu Yun, he immediately got nervous and said loudly: "Sir, soldiers are as precious as gods. This battle is to destroy the enemy, not to wipe out the enemy. Before the bandits find out, we should cover up with lightning speed." With the momentum of the ears, immediately return the food and grass after burning."

Feng Yuan's prudence, Jing Bo's fierceness, and Qiu Yun's decisiveness and courage, the three of them have their own characteristics, all of which make Wang Xiu very satisfied.Soldiers who, deception also!There are no rules to follow in tactics, the same problem, all kinds of tactics are reasonable, the key is to grasp the fleeting opportunity, this is the difference between genius and mediocrity.

"What you said makes sense. The fourth brother's suggestion is the safest and most comprehensive, the ninth brother's suggestion is the most agile, and the fifth brother's suggestion is somewhere in between. The key to tactics is not the tactics themselves, but the timing of the tactics. Momentary opportunities are the way of luck, good generals of ancient and modern times are good at capturing the way of luck, you have to remember.” Wang Xiuchun taught that this is all post-modern military theory, and of course it is the law that has not changed for 5000 years, and the art of war of all dynasties has it Explanation, the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Feng Yuan looked eagerly, obviously inspired.

"The journey of a thousand miles collapsed at nine hundred, and we must continue to suffer from it." Wang Xiu turned her head and looked ahead, her gaze gradually became sharper.

"Sir, please assign the deployment." Feng Yuan comprehended Wang Xiu's meaning and asked for orders.

"Okay, the soldiers and horses are divided into four teams. I personally lead the first team to insert between the supply camp and the county seat to monitor the enemy's movement. The fourth brother supervises the second team to attack Dazhai from the front, and the seventh brother supervises the third team to fire rockets and burn food. The fifth brother supervises the fourth team, bluffing along the north to attract the attention of the bandits. Once the fire starts, the three teams will go their own way, and try to burn it for me. Well, if the county sends reinforcements, I will fight. crush."

Wang Xiu's assignment of tasks is very simple. At first glance, his task is very easy, and it seems that he has not fought, but those who have been tested by the flames of war understand that it is he who undertakes the most dangerous and difficult tasks. This is a serious sniper attack. Bear the opponent's crazy counterattack, this is the reason why it is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

"Sir, it's up to me."

"Those who disobey the military order on the battlefield will be killed." Wang Xiu glanced at Qiu Yun, waved his big hand, and said sharply: "Remember, don't abandon any robes."

The county seat of Chengxian County is located at the boundary of Lanling Town. Song Jiang really prepared a lot of time and energy for attacking the Liguojian. He built a large stockade near the county seat in Lanling to supply the follow-up military rations. Every day, there are convoys transporting rations , to ensure the supplies of his army.

Today, I don't know whether it's the good weather or not happy.The northern sky was gloomy, and the sky and the earth were gloomy. Huge dark clouds rolled and undulated on the horizon, as if it was about to pour down a torrent of rain.The sand and stones on the ground are also flying around in the sky under the strong wind, making it difficult to keep your eyes open. This is definitely the best time to fight.

"If God helps us, let's make it rain after the battle!" Wang Xiu rode on a galloping horse, and couldn't help shouting with joy in her heart.
