Chapter 319: The Tiger Down the Mountain

War is not a child's play.

It's not just a duel in terms of strength.

If the one with more troops and stronger horses can win, then there won't be so many battles in history where a small number can win a large number.

The Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Feishui.

The more troops there are, the more complicated the deployment will be, and the more likely there will be flaws.

Just as Wang Gui said, Jinhuan Mountain is now attacking Beishan Fort, causing heavy casualties. Wu Nian can take advantage of this opportunity and attack at night to capture the camp of a thousand-man captain in Jinhuan Mountain.

The situation will change.

It was no longer possible for Jin Huanshan to devote all his troops to the attack on Beishan Fort.

Wu Nian could lead two thousand-household troops to fight guerrilla warfare between Yingqing Prefecture and Guangyang Prefecture.

"Jin Ruiyun and Wan Yanxian attacked Beishan Fort from Guangyang Mansion. The food road is very long. They sent strong men to transport food. This is an opportunity. We can pretend to be bandits, intercept their food, and lure the Mongolian Yuan Qian Captain to attack and take advantage of the opportunity.

Lay an ambush."

Zhang Sheng said.

Harassment, harassment, and denying the enemy a moment of peace are the essence of guerrilla warfare.

An ambush would be even better.

Zhang Sheng and Wang Gui's methods are different, but the purpose is the same. To eat some of the Meng Yuan people's troops, to break the surface, and to muddy the water.

Wu Nian lowered his head, pinched his chin and thought for a moment. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "I want both."

"Huh?!!" Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, was slightly startled, showing a look of surprise. Want both? Is this possible?

"We will first use publicity to eliminate the troops of a thousand commanders under Jin Ruiyun or Wan Yanxian. Then, without any baggage or food, we will rush to Beishan Fort without stopping, launch a night attack, and defeat a camp in Jinhuan Mountain."

"Three thousand households, thirty thousand captains of troops. So even with the simplest strength calculation, we can eliminate nearly one-tenth of their troops."

Wu Nian narrowed his eyes with a smile on his face. Summer is still different from winter. They don't need to bring a tent, they just need to bring enough food rations for each person.

We are all Han people from Liaodong. We can walk over mountains and ridges as if we were walking on flat ground. We can march very fast and hit wherever we point.

Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng thought for a moment and thought it was feasible, so they couldn't help but nodded in unison.

"I want both. Then should we choose Wan Yanxian or Jin Ruiyun?" Wang Gui nodded first, then showed hesitation.

Wu Nian said without any hesitation: "I once attacked Wan Yanxian's ambush, and his captain may be wary. We choose Jin Ruiyun."

Having said this, Wu Nian showed a sneer on his face and said: "I haven't played with him yet. We have no enmity, but he joined the team attacking Beishan Fort."

"It really makes me unhappy, so I'll give him a slap in the face first."

"Let the spies keep an eye on the movements of Jin Ruiyun's troops and seize the opportunity."

At the end of the sentence, Wu Nian looked up at Wang Gui and spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes." They both responded in unison, stood up with fists clasped, turned around and walked out.

On the fourth day, Wu Nian received the news and ordered the entire army to recharge their batteries. Early the next morning, Wu Nian set off.

"I wish the general a victory." At the gate of the village, Liu Minda was ill yesterday and was swaying. With the support of his son, he clasped his hands and saluted Wu Nian.

His other son brought the good wine that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Wu Nian. Wu Nian quickly took the wine bowl and drank the rice wine cleanly.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu." Wu Nian clasped his fists, then clung to the saddle, got on his horse, led Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and two thousand troops down the mountain, and soon disappeared from the sight of everyone in Liujia Village.

Inside.

"General Wu is truly a hero. If there were more heroes like General Wu among the generals of Liaodong, how could these great rivers and mountains be taken over by the Mongolians?"

Liu Minda not only admired Wu Nian, but also hated Liaodong generals.

"Let alone a few more generals Wu, even if there are a few more generals Wei Changqing, Liaodong can't be lost." Liu Minda's son sighed and shook his head.

After the father and son exchanged some words, they followed Liu Minda back to the village.

............

The broad road is lined with rolling mountain peaks. The mountains are lush with vegetation and green vines like dragons.

Jia Zheng rode a horse and led more than 500 strong men to escort the grain and grass to Jin Ruiyun.

He is thirty-five years old this year. He comes from a wealthy family. He is handsome and tall. He can gallop a horse and is good at swordsmanship. He is somewhat capable.

However, he did not join the Han family, but became an official in the county.

War is a high-risk matter. Whether you are a centurion or a thousand-day captain, it is normal to die. Being an official is different, it is safer.

Of course, escorting grain and grass transportation is quite risky. But this time it's not a big problem.

Beishan Fort was besieged by three thousand households. Wu Nianni Bodhisattva could not protect himself when he crossed the river. Could he still send troops and horses to rob food?

In this way, escorting grain and grass became a good job.

There is no risk and you can still achieve military success.

For this task of escorting grain and grass, Jia Zheng also spent money up and down to get what he wanted.

With such thoughts and feelings, Jia Zheng's vigilance is not only zero, but it is infinitely close to zero.

"Hey." Jia Zheng was riding on a tall war horse, covering his mouth with his hand, yawned, and looked around boredly.

"Although transporting grain and grass can be a military achievement. If it works again, maybe I can be a county magistrate or prefect. But sleeping in the open air on the road is not comfortable. I really miss the gentle countryside."

Jia Zheng thought of the graceful figure of his concubine Arou, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

At this moment, a rough voice sounded from the left side of the mountain road.

"My sons, the Meng Yuan people's food is right in front of you. Grab it and we will distribute it. Follow me up."

"Kill!!!!" Immediately afterwards, a loud roar of murder rang out. The murderous intent soaring into the sky caused the birds sitting on the big trees to flutter their wings and flee in panic.

Jia Zheng's face turned green.

With such a large military force of the Mongolian people, why are there still bandits entrenched in the mountains? Moreover, these bandits are so bold that they dare to rob the Mongolian people of their food?

If the food is lost, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. While Jia Zheng's expression changed greatly, he turned around and shouted to the five hundred men: "Brothers, they are just a group of bandits. We fought hard to keep the food. Meng Yuan

People must be richly rewarded."

But no one listened to him.

These strong Han men who had been recruited had neither the courage nor the weapons to fight against the bandits. Without seeing anyone, these strong Han men scattered in a hurry and fled in all directions.

For a time, there were only a dozen loyal slaves left around Jia Zheng.

And just then.

Wang Gui wore a helmet on his head and a tattered leather armor on his body. He led a mess of soldiers pretending to be bandits and killed them from the mountain.

There are more than a hundred people.

When Jia Zheng saw this scene, he suddenly felt like he was dead. He reined up his horse and ran away with his soldiers.

Don't worry about food for now, save your life later.

Besides, the captain of General Jin Ruiyun's command is nearby. They are just bandits. I will send reinforcements to destroy them.

Oh shit.

A mere bandit actually dared to rob the Mongolian people of their food.

How audacious.

court death!
