Ding Sheng and others crouched under the grass and waited for an hour and a half. During this period, everyone could not light a fire to cook, so they ate some millet dumplings prepared in advance by the transport camp. However, there is a saying that the millet dumplings were roasted over the fire.
tasty.
Now Jin Quan was chewing millet balls, moved over, and whispered to Ding Sheng:
"Dingtou, are these Mou County soldiers not coming?"
As soon as Jin Quan spoke, Ding Sheng became afraid. This was a person more sinister than him. Ding Sheng hurriedly spat at him and said:
"What are you saying? Hurry back and take your soldiers. The enemy soldiers will be here soon."
Jin Quan didn't understand why Ding Tou was so angry. He asked for trouble and went back.
At this moment, a puff of smoke suddenly rolled up from the south.
Ding Sheng was overjoyed, knowing that troops were coming, and hurriedly called on his troops to cheer up, and after a while he heard the sound of drums and drums to charge.
Yu Jin also saw smoke and dust over there. Like Ding Sheng, waiting for more than an hour clearly made Yu Jin anxious, but unlike Ding Sheng, he was reflecting on the problems of this ambush.
There was obviously a big flaw in their ambush this time. They just waited blindly without knowing how to keep their eyes and ears open. If they had set their eyes and ears outside Mou County from the beginning, they would have been able to get accurate information as soon as the Mou County soldiers left the city.
Sitting idle at the ambush point will waste the opportunity to fight.
In addition, he also found that the choice of the ambush point was not ideal. Although the Quetou Ridge could hide troops, it did not have the environment to block the enemy. The official road in front of the ridge was unimpeded. Even if they suddenly ambush, as long as
This wave of Mou County soldiers running wildly can still stand out.
But Yu Jin also knows that the best time is now, and everything is never ready in advance. He believes that with his brothers, even a hasty ambush can be completed.
But things went wrong in the blink of an eye, and the group of Mou County soldiers coming from the west stopped.
How is this going.
----------------------------------
"Ren Ba, what's wrong with you? Who asked you to stop?"
Zhang He, the magistrate of Mou County who came from behind the team, rushed to the camp general of Mou County angrily. The camp general's name was Ren Ba. It was quite rude for Zhang He to call him by his name directly, but it can also be seen that the general's name was Ren Ba.
Zhang He's anger.
Can Zhang He not be angry?
He discovered that this battalion general named Ren Ba was really as timid as a chicken. Every time he encountered mountains, swamps, and valleys along the way, he would station troops to watch. He said he was afraid of encountering an ambush, but in fact he was just standing still.
Stop and go, half an hour has passed, and I have only arrived here now.
He had urged Ren Ba several times before to speed up the march, but Ren Ba said yes, but he still went his own way. Yes, this time Zhang He came in person to see what else this person had to say.
Ren Ba was not annoyed when he was called by his first name, and said to Zhang He with a smile:
"County Lord, there is nothing wrong with being careful. Think about it, we reinforcements are the easiest to be ambushed. If someone attacks me to save me, as long as they are not stupid, they will probably ambush us. I will also treat my brothers
Be responsible."
Zhang He did not accept this trick at all, he said:
"Don't come here. What you said in several places before made some sense, so I let you search it, but what's the result? Isn't there still no ambush? Then you are looking at this place, just take a look at this short slope.
Looking at the end, what kind of soldiers can be hidden? Look, the Botai Mountain bandits are just a bunch of bandits, they don't know how to fight. Don't bother anymore, and keep walking. If you get there late, Changshaowei really can't hold on.
"
Ren Ba continued to laugh and said:
"Are you paralyzed?"
Unexpectedly, when Zhang He heard this, he replied:
"Are you swearing?"
Then, Zhang He said:
"I don't care what you say, I will order you to withdraw your troops immediately."
Ren Ba stopped laughing. He looked at Zhang He and said:
"You either kill me or I'll still search this mountain."
Then, Ren Ba's throat was cut open. His neck was bleeding, and he couldn't believe that Zhang He dared to kill him with a knife here.
Ren Ba's soldiers were also stunned. Looking at Zhang He holding a knife with blood on his face, they subconsciously drew the knife.
"I wonder who dares to make a move. Ren Ba has already been executed by me for delaying the military plane. I wonder which of you wants to be an accomplice?"
At this moment, Zhang He was ready to risk his life. He drew his sword and pointed it at the soldiers in front of him. He expected that these soldiers would not dare to fight him at all?
Sure enough, the guards who pulled out their swords impulsively looked at each other and lowered their heads. Yes, they did not dare to attack Zhang He.
Just because they are camp soldiers. Their relationship with the general Ren Ba is just that of colleagues. There is no need to provoke the wrath of a 600-stone county magistrate for the sake of a dead person.
This is also the reason why Zhang He attacked Ren Ba. Whenever Ren Ba brought his own tribe soldiers or clan soldiers, Zhang He did not dare to move because those people were too attached to Ren Ba.
Strong. But the Yingbing troops were the administrative divisions of the imperial court raised by Mou County, and they did not dare to attack a 600-ton official.
As soon as Ren Ba died, Zhang He took over the command of Mou County Camp, and then accelerated through the mountains with two troops of 700 soldiers.
At this time, the drums sounded loudly behind the ridge, and then countless enemy soldiers jumped out from the grass beside the road.
Zhang He was startled and hurriedly scolded the generals to prepare their formations. However, these generals had just been killed, and now they did not trust Zhang He at all. Two of the generals did not even think about it at the time, so they retreated with their troops.
When the soldiers in the camp who originally wanted to resist saw Pao Ze running away, they followed him with a crash. Zhang He was in a panic there, but it was useless. He came to the Mou County camp alone, and there were no soldiers to act as a law enforcement team. He could rely on him alone to fight back.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't save it.
Seeing that the battle was unwinnable, Zhang He had no choice but to retreat in order to save his life. He also made a move on his side and followed the flow of the defeated troops to retreat.
But he didn't know that just when he turned the horse's head and left its back to Ren Ba's guards, several of the guards looked at each other, and then in tacit agreement, they raised their swords and cut off the horse's legs.
The horse under Zhang He's crotch hit the ground directly, but Zhang He was unprepared, and half of his body was directly crushed by the horse. Zhang He panicked, and immediately wailed for the camp soldiers to come and pull him.
But the soldiers turned a deaf ear and just followed the flow of people and ran over Zhang He. Countless straw sandals stepped on Zhang He, and no one paid attention to the screams and wails under their feet until finally there was no sound anymore.
The magistrate Mou County, who came from the Anding Zhang family, was trampled to death by his own people in Quetou Ridge.
Over there, Ding Sheng and Yu Jin panicked as they watched the Mou County soldiers swarm in defeat. Of course they knew that Qu Kui asked them to ambush the Mou County soldiers with the intention of annihilating rather than defeating them. Although they have defeated the Mou County soldiers now, these
However, the soldiers fled and fled all the way back to Mou County, but they still failed to achieve the goal of annihilating the active forces in Mou County.
At this moment, Taishan soldiers were running like crazy, shouting all the way:
"Kneel down and surrender, no killing."
But no one cares about me. Who can escape will surrender!
The soldiers withdrew first, but the Mou County soldiers behind them did not move because the county magistrate Zhang He had gone to the front. They were leaderless and had no idea what was going on, so they did not move.
As a result, when the camp soldiers retreated halfway, they found that the road in front was blocked. The defeated soldiers behind did not know that the road was blocked in front, so they pushed forward one after another, and for a while, they were rubbing shoulders one after another, and the blockage was tight.
Ding Sheng's troops charged the most bravely. They showed no mercy to the enemies who had their backs left to them. They hammered, chopped, chopped, and stabbed, and slaughtered these defeated soldiers to their heart's content.
Some of the angry soldiers among the defeated troops on the periphery saw that they could not run away, so they turned around and shouted to their subordinates:
"Gentlemen, let us die here. I would rather die with my chest than my back."
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow hit his neck and killed him. The person who fired the arrow was none other than Ding Sheng's general Zhao Rong.
But the officer's words finally aroused the resistance of the soldiers in the camp.
To be honest, the structure of the Mou County camp is intact, and the military officers at all levels are not injured. At first, they were just unwilling to work for Mou County magistrate, so they had no intention of fighting. But at this moment, they are seeking survival for themselves.
, so under the command of military officials at all levels, they gradually formed several small formations and struggled to resist the Taishan soldiers.
Jin Quan, who was making arrows at the front, keenly felt the changes in the battlefield situation. At this moment, he held the spear in his left hand and swung the Huanshou sword with his right hand, constantly stabbing the defeated soldiers in front. Originally, he only had to face the back of the front and stab in like this.
Pull it out again, dig it in again, and kill the enemy like chopping wood.
But something was wrong now. Four or five battalion soldiers, under the command of their respective corps commanders, attacked Jin Quan and others. Seeing that his men were beginning to suffer casualties, Jin Quan decisively selected a general and asked him to lead a hundred people from a small roadside village.
Walk through the ditch to flank the Mou County soldiers in front.
To be honest, judging from Jin Quan's response, he has really gained it through experience. This kind of battle formation awareness may not be found in a general, not to mention that Jin Quan is just a general leading 200 people.
This is also due to the cultivation of Zhang Chong. In this era of scarcity, what is lacking is not only material but also spiritual. When materials are scarce, it is even more delusional to breed a brilliant knowledge society.
The development of society has always been that the more deprived it is, the more it will cherish itself and treat the little bit of knowledge as a symbol of status. For example, are the military books and strategies circulated in this world useful? Of course they are useful. Because those generals and disciples want to live in peace.
In addition to the words and deeds of elders who have been through the war, the only way to master the awareness of military formations in the past is through these military books.
But the military books are not that useful, because war is a practice after all. Compared with experiencing the war in person, the words on the slips are too thin. And because of the text carrier, the words in the military books are too subtle and important.
It often makes some people who are already famous generals not sure that they can understand the art of war.
What Zhang Chong brought from later generations was his immense knowledge and his truly instructive attitude. Famous generals in this world would only carefully train the children of their families, but what about Zhang Chong? This is how he trained military generals.
Before each battle, Zhang Chong would outline the military strategy, and then after each battle, he would talk about the gains and losses of the battle. He would also let the generals listen to the participating generals' personal reflections, and then ask the generals to record their own gains and losses in writing, and also practice
Writing can also improve tactical literacy.
It can be said that the combination of actual combat and military training has resulted in the emergence of excellent tactical talents in the Taishan Army.
Just like Jin Quan, the bypass tactic he subconsciously used at the moment was the first tactical point he recorded in his notes:
"All infantrymen are most afraid of being stabbed in the waist, oh, and there are also buttocks."
But the situation on the battlefield changed too quickly. As soon as Jinquan gave his orders, a new situation appeared over there.
