"Listen to what I have to say first," Yuan Su continued with a calm face and a confident look on his face, "If the rebels enter the city, the second and third teams of soldiers ambushing on both sides of the street will be the first to attack, and
Reinforcements with a loud shout of 80 goals have entered the city. When the enemy's momentum weakens slightly, the first team led by Zhao team will throw grenades in the rear to cut off the follow-up troops of the rebels. www "
"Master Yuan, it's not that I'm self-righteous, it's just that the rebels are all our own people in the 79th Biao. How could they not know that the 80th Biao is far away in Zunhua? How could they come to Luanzhou so quickly? If you think about it carefully, you will know that we
We're cheating. Since we want to delay the enemy, we should deploy frontal defenses and prevent them from entering the city as much as possible." Zhao Shanhe objected sternly. He never expected that Yuan Su would suddenly change his mind.
Take the strategy of ambushing the enemy.
"Captain Zhao, how can we defeat the enemy with a small number of people without a surprise attack? Moreover, once there is a battle, how many people will have the mind to distinguish the true from the false in the chaos of the battle! Don't forget, these people are now
They were defeated and fled, and their morale and morale were already in chaos. My purpose in doing this was to further damage the morale of the rebels and try to scare them out in the first round to buy us more time." Yuan Suyi
He said sternly, with a hint of reprimand in his tone.
"I, Zhao Shanhe, am a rough man. I can't compare to those of you who have studied these principles. But you trainee officers don't know what actual combat is. What you just said was all just talk." Zhao Shanhe was anxious for a moment and couldn't help it.
His emotions burst out and he directly contradicted Yuan Su.
"Zhao Shanhe, do you know how much damage will be caused to us once the enemy launches an attack if we deploy a frontal defense? The elite guards only have such a small number of troops. Even if you don't think about the overall situation, you still have to think about these brothers.
Think about it, they have been with you for so many years, can you bear to let your brothers risk their lives to block the city gate? Can you afford to take the responsibility when the time comes and you pay casualties but still can't hold the front?" Yuan Su deliberately raised his voice and shouted angrily,
So that the surrounding soldiers can hear what he said.
Nowadays, being a soldier is just to earn a living. No one wants to make fun of their own lives. Even if everyone has been under Zhao Shanhe for many years, as long as they have a higher chance of survival, they would rather go to Yuan Su's arrangement. Although these big-headed soldiers
They were not highly educated and did not understand the advanced strategies of marching and formation, but they still knew very well which method was safer: concealment and ambush or frontal combat. Standing in the light was definitely easier to take bullets than hiding in the dark.
For a moment, the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but whisper, and soon there was a slight commotion.
Zhao Shanhe was angry and anxious. He had led troops for so many years, and he knew best that the layout of war should be simplified as much as possible. The simpler the tactics, the more effective the execution. After all, the quality of soldiers was limited, and if it was slightly more complex, it would be full of loopholes.
Although there are currently less than a hundred people in the police force, Yuan Su's ambush method is too complicated, and the troops are divided into three groups, and it is both virtual and real. Even if there are only a hundred people, they will not be able to execute it efficiently.
He also found a lot of things wrong with Yuan Su's explanation, but he was clumsy and didn't know how to refute it for a while. He could only hold back his breath and put on a look of anger on his face.
After a pause, Yuan Su softened his tone and said to Zhao Shanhe seriously: "Zhao Duizheng, I know you are not thinking about the overall situation, but the current situation is special, and we can only choose a more comprehensive approach to deal with it.
Even if the rebels are allowed to rush through our ambush circle, as long as we still have strength, we can continue to deal with it. On the other hand, if the frontal defense suffers heavy casualties and reinforcements cannot arrive in time, what should we do then?"
Adjutant Chen on the side was still hesitant before, but after hearing what Yuan Su said, he finally made up his mind and said: "Fu Zhen, since Master Biaotong has appointed Master Yuan to command without warning, you and I will naturally obey the order. Furthermore,
Although those thieves are coming towards Xiaomazhuang, they may not be returning to Luanzhou City, so why do you need to worry so much?"
Zhao Shanhe was left even more speechless by Yuan Su's "first scolding and then caressing". Now that even Adjutant Chen was on the other side's side, what else could he do? But after calming down and thinking carefully, he also felt that Yuan Su
He was indeed taking all aspects into consideration, rather than just trying to hold off the enemy. He sighed heavily, his expression gradually softened, and he secretly hoped that the rebels would not counterattack Luanzhou City, otherwise...
Yuan Su saw the change in Zhao Shanhe's expression, so he said: "Anyway, let's do what I want first. I am a man who dares to act bravely. If anything goes wrong, I will bear the responsibility. I arranged for people to move the war horses to the north and hide them, and ordered
Brothers, we have arranged the obstacles properly, and there are roadblocks at the city gates and streets. When the time comes, we will adapt accordingly. If it doesn't work, we will use the roadblocks on the street as a cover to conduct a frontal attack."
Hearing this, Zhao Shanhe had no room for refutation. He nodded solemnly and said meticulously: "I understand, I will arrange it now."
The soldiers collected quite a few obstacles, including some dilapidated door panels, some medium-sized rocks and earth, and two wooden carts with missing wheels. Zhao Shanhe was not sloppy at all in his work, and he quickly
The streets and city gates were arranged in a stylish manner. Two wooden carts were overturned to block the city gate, and the back was reinforced with wood and stones. As for the street, it was built with door panels and bricks and tiles from broken houses.
Nine roadblocks.
Afterwards, Yuan Su and Zhao Shanhe respectively commanded soldiers to ambush. Except for Zhao Shanhe who hid on the city wall with twenty people, the other soldiers climbed to the roof as much as possible. It was naturally safer to be at a high altitude.
Yuan Su and Adjutant Chen did not rush to climb to the roof. They took a few soldiers to guard near the city gate to respond to the sentries outside the city.
After waiting for a while, Adjutant Chen on the side was exhaling and rubbing his hands. He couldn't help but said to Yuan Su: "Master Yuan, the sentry hasn't come back yet. Maybe those revolutionaries really don't dare to come back to the city."
Yuan Su had no expression on his face and just stared at the gap between the wooden carts. He said: "It's hard to say. I also hope that these people will not go back to Luanzhou. However, after all, they still have more than 400 people. It is possible for them to break up and escape like this."
Not big."
It is still more than ten miles away from Xiaomazhuang to Luannan County. It will definitely take some time for the rebels to advance on foot.
Adjutant Chen hesitated for a while, and then said tentatively: "Master Yuan, our war horses are all in the north, so I'm afraid there will be something wrong if I send two people to watch the horses."
Only then did Yuan Su look back at Adjutant Chen. He secretly smiled and said: He is really a greedy person who is afraid of death. He ignored Adjutant Chen's worries and said directly: "Sir Chen, if the battle is unfavorable, it will be up to you later."
Rush back to the bidding department in person to inform you."
Adjutant Chen originally planned to retreat directly to the rear to avoid being exposed to the hail of bullets, but after hearing what Yuan Su said, he was too embarrassed to say anything more and could only nod his head and said: "It's clear, it's clear."
At this moment, Zhao Shanhe's voice suddenly came from the city tower: "There are fires outside the city, they are coming."
Yuan Su took a deep breath, tensed up his nerves, and felt vaguely excited in his heart: We are finally here, I was afraid you wouldn't come! Immediately, he ordered a soldier to quickly notify both sides of the street of ambushes.
of people, let everyone be prepared.
Not long after, several figures hurriedly ran outside the city gate. They were the sentries who had been sent to investigate outside the city.
Yuan Su, Adjutant Chen and several other soldiers stepped forward and moved the wooden cart blocking the city gate, allowing the sentries to slip in through the gap one after another.
"How long will it take to get here?" Yuan Su asked a sentry.
"Sir, judging from the firelight distance, we can arrive in half an hour at the latest." The sentry replied breathlessly.
"There are quite a few people there, there are thirty or forty torches alone." Another sentry added.
"Don't be nervous. These people have already fought in Guye County before, so they probably don't have much ammunition. You guys should follow me now." Yuan Su said calmly.
Since the failure of Luanzhou's military remonstrance, the Qing government has become increasingly strict on the arms control of the troops stationed in the Zhili area. During the uprising, not even 2,000 rounds of bullets were distributed. Calculated, each person only received two or three bullets. The uprising.
The army had fired shots and exchanged fire in Guye County, and there was certainly not much ammunition left. It was even very possible that most of the rebel soldiers had run out of ammunition.
Yuan Su led everyone quickly out of the city gate and came to the back of the house on the left side of the street.
At this time, there were soldiers lying on many rooftops on both sides of the street. After receiving the latest news, these soldiers did not dare to take it lightly. Everyone stared at the city gate attentively. Yuan Su
He and Adjutant Chen stepped on a broken wall and climbed up to a house in the middle of the street. Several sentries from before also climbed up.
In winter weather, there is a layer of ice on the roof, which makes it really uncomfortable to lie on it.
Ten minutes later, people's voices gradually came from outside the city wall, and a faint light of fire could be seen across the city.
