Chapter 156 Rescue Prisoners of War II

After analyzing the information, Xu Sancai summoned all officers above the squad leader, including Wang Hu, the master and his son, and the students from the North Vietnam Academy to discuss the next plan. [26nbsp;] Now, the number of troops recruited more than 300, but there are less than 200 war horses, and experienced regular soldiers only account for more than half. The only advantage is that the officers' personal strength is relatively strong.

Xu Sancai's plan to rescue prisoners of war was supported by everyone. Wang Hu said: "Those people were originally soldiers from Yueshan Kingdom and were enslaved by An Jiguo. If these people could be rescued, it would be a great time to strengthen the team. But we must formulate a complete plan. The mine is only about thirty miles away from Qingtiengcheng. There are thousands of troops in An Jiguo's country in Qingtiengcheng. Once they are alarmed to support them, our staff will be too short."

The prince added: "The transfer issue needs to be considered. After this period of enslavement, the prisoners of war may not be in very small physical condition. We do not have enough cars and horses for those people to quickly transfer, nor do we have enough weapons to quickly arm them. Moreover, many people die in the mines every day, so we cannot continue to delay."

Everyone had no objection to the immediate rescue of prisoners of war. Xu Sancai said: "The enemy is large and we are few. Our way of fighting can only be to attack suddenly with superior forces and eliminate part of the enemy at the fastest speed. However, Qingtiengcheng is now an enemy-occupied area, so how can we mobilize people and horses into the mining area without knowing it is a difficult problem."

A war division student said, "The enemy troops responsible for the garrison are regular troops and will definitely react quickly. We cannot delay time. We can only use well-trained cavalry to expand the results of the battle as much as possible before the enemy gathers. I suggest only bringing cavalry so that if the rescue is not successful, our people can also evacuate quickly and find another opportunity next time."

Xu Sancai said: "There is no next time. If this time fails, it will alarm the enemy and let them know our existence. Not only will the enemy strengthen the garrison in the mining area, but it will also send troops to search and encircle us. We must succeed in one go to have enough strength to confront the occupying army and to regain Qingtioxin."

"As for the transfer, I think Wang Hu and his original resident was close to the mining area, so the prisoners rescued from the mining area could be divided into two parts, and some would be brought back to the base here, and some would be temporarily transferred to Wang Hu and his original resident. It was just necessary to arrange some appropriate ambush. If the enemy troops in Qingticheng pursued, they could just destroy some of the enemy's living forces."

"As for the issue of the participants, I want to fight with experienced cavalry, while others will be led by Gu Yi to rescue, nurse and transfer prisoners of war. Don't worry about the enemy's counterattack. General Gu and I will sneak into the mining area in advance and assassinate the enemy's chief general at the appropriate time. At that time, the enemy will inevitably be in chaos. Moreover, we can quickly arm some of the prisoners of war rescued, so the strength of the troops is not a problem."

"The key to success or failure is to eliminate the vital forces of the guarding enemy as much as possible as possible, which requires the suddenness of the attack and the strength of the first wave of attacks. The guardian soldiers are relatively scattered in the mining area. We must launch attacks from three directions at the same time, and in the shortest time, we will join General Wang Hu. You are responsible for selecting the cavalry troops to attack, and the rest are responsible for rescuing prisoners of war."

"We spent three days to prepare. Wang Youcai was responsible for trying his best to understand the time and distribution of the enemy's garrison troops' meals, and find ways to let General Gu and I mix into the mining area. Chen Dafu was responsible for preparing as many carriages as possible, and the action was set at dinner time in three days. Let's discuss it and see what else needs to be supplemented?"

General Gu was of course referring to the owner of the shop. After listening to Xu Sancai's arrangement, everyone started to discuss fiercely. After a moment, Wang Hu said: "I can guarantee that the cavalry attacking troops will occupy one-third of the mining area within five minutes. The rest depends on the enemy's resistance."

Wang Youcai said: "In three days, I should be able to investigate more detailed information, and at least I can clarify the meal time of the garrison army. The supply in the mining area is transported by the army, and I need to find a way to mix it into the mining area."

Chen Dafu said: "I want to use some money and may have to buy some carriages. At that time, I will need to select some people who can drive carriages from our people. If the hired carriage drivers know the destination, they may run away timidly."

Xu Sancai said: "The carriage and the coachman must be purchased. These are the guarantees of the army's future military logistics. The army must have an independent professional transportation team when going to fight. You can choose from your own people or specially recruit them. Talented, you need to draw as detailed mining maps and enemy distribution maps as possible. There is no other way, so I will sneak in with General Gu. Well, this is your task. If there is no problem, let's take action separately."

Everyone discussed for a while and left their own busy schedule. Xu Sancai called Chen Dafu and handed over the supplies seized from Xu's lieutenant to Fatty, including a water-based god-level martial arts and three combat skills. Chen Dafu began to cultivate more business talents and prepared to open shops in various places in the future to lay the foundation for the prosperity of the future territory.

The courtyard where Xu Sancai is located is with the ancients, and he can practice with confidence here. Now, hundreds of Wangjia Village villagers and the families of the students who have moved here are grateful and support him, and the officers and soldiers in the army have basically expressed obedience to him, which has given him some energy to the Divine Emperor Art, but it is not enough to advance his cultivation level.

Three days passed quickly, and Wang Youcai took out a complete mining area map and an inaccurate distribution map of the enemy guarding; Chen Dafu purchased and hired more than 60 carriages; Wang Hu reorganized the selected cavalry assault troops into three teams, each with sixty people, led by Wang Hu, Zhang Xiong and Zhang Meng, and most of the students served as the assault team leader respectively.

The task was rescheduled. In order to avoid exposure, the troops set off separately. Gu Yi, Wang Youcai and Chen Dafu were responsible for leading the infantry and logistics troops who were dressed in large caravans. Xu Sancai and the shopkeeper arrived at the mining area in advance based on Wang Youcai's map. Wang Youcai prepared miners' clothes for them, and the two needed to wear makeup and mix into the center of the mining area.

The mining area is ten miles long and more than one mile wide. General An Jiguo, who is responsible for managing the mining area, lives in the original mining area management area, and prisoners of war miners live in the original large miner dormitory area. An Jiguo soldiers need to guard the outside of the mining area to prevent prisoners of war from escaping, and soldiers also need to supervise the work, so they are very scattered.
