When Lin Ziran spoke, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Among them, Luo Mazi listened very carefully, only listening to Lin Ziran finish the first sentence, he just took the opportunity of Lin Ziran to pause and breathe, and said very quickly: "The adults are wise, flexible and changeable, which is really everyone's demeanor!" ”

Lin Ziran once again ignored Luo Mazi's words, but continued along the train of thought: "Lord Shaoqing is chasing after the rear of the Guang'an rebels, so we just need to drag the enemy!" ”

"Although the Guang'an rebels are fierce, but we don't have to fight with them, this is not our task, our task is just to drag them down, and when the main cavalry led by Lord Shaoqing comes up, our task will be completed!"

At this time, Wu Dajiang showed doubts: "But my lord, how can we hold them back?" ”

Lin Ziran said: "Ambush, small but frequent ambushes!" ”

"Most of the places in Fenglan Town are hilly, which is not suitable for the rapid march of the large-scale regular army of the Guang'an rebels, and many of the places they pass through are suitable for ambushes.

As long as we are well prepared and take advantage of the range of our muskets, we will be able to shoot from a distance, even if we can't kill or injure a few of them, but we can delay their march! ”

"It doesn't matter if they find out about our ambush in advance, once they find out about our ambush, they will definitely have to deal with it, whether it is a detour or preparing for a strong attack, it will take time!"

As he spoke, Lin Ziran stood up directly and walked to the military map near Fenglan Town on the wall: "Look here, this place is very suitable for ambushes, and the ambush is well arranged, and it can even shoot more than 300 meters away from the enemy's marching column!" ”

"And this area is surrounded by jungle, we can also disperse and hide in it, and then shoot quietly, as long as we shoot, they have to be forced to form a battle formation, if they chase us we will retreat immediately, if they don't chase us, we will shoot far away!"

"There are many places like this, as long as we come a few more times, we can delay them for more than half a day or even a day, and with this half a day, it is enough for the main force behind to catch up!"

Lin Ziran thought about it for a long time, and finally completely gave up on fighting the Guang'an rebels and chose to intercept the operation in a dangerous place, which was too dangerous.

The ghost knows if the hundreds of people under his command will collapse during the interception operation.

Therefore, he still adopted the most secure combat plan: shoot from a distance, and don't get close!

Lin Ziran said, Luo Mazi stood up, his expression was quite serious: "My lord is worthy of being a unique military master in the world, and I have come up with such a peerless combat plan in a moment, I Luo Mazi has been going south and north for more than ten years, and no one is convinced, so I will serve you, my lord!" ”

Wu Dajiang glanced at Luo Mazi, and finally showed an expression of admiration for Lin Ziran: "If this is the case, we don't have to engage those Guang'an rebels at close range, and we can still give full play to our rifled gun advantage!" ”

Wu Dajiang, as a member of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, in addition to Luo Mazi and Scar, the two small bandit leaders, the first peasant officer to be promoted by Lin Ziran, his tactical literacy is naturally not good.

But if you eat too much pork, you can imagine how a pig runs, it's nothing more than running on four legs, or at most five legs, how difficult can it be?

After a few months in the army, he can also see the strengths and weaknesses of his own people, the advantage is that the rifled muskets in their hands, the effective range of three or four hundred meters has become their greatest advantage.

The disadvantage is naturally that the overall quality is not good.

This time, Lin Ziran's combat method is completely different from regular combat in the traditional sense, and if it is replaced by any officer who has received traditional military education, I am afraid that Lin Ziran's tactics will be refuted as worthless.

Because Lin Ziran's tactics mean that the line formation is completely abandoned, but it becomes a loose straggler formation, and this loose formation is casually rushed by the enemy, then it will be finished.

In the era of smoothbore guns, few armies used skirmishers on a large scale, which meant that the firepower was not dense enough, and the troops were not dense enough to resist the onslaught of the enemy in dense formations.

That is, a handful of hunters have done this in the last two or three decades.

But there is a reason why there are few hunters in a skirmish formation, although contemporary hunters use front-loading rifled guns, but their front-loading rifled guns are very difficult to load, and it often takes several minutes to be able to reload once, and they can only play a small-scale sneak attack, shoot and run, and do not have much tactical value, so although there are such a class of hunters in the regular armies of various countries, the number is very small.

However, the front-loading rifled gun used by the Qingshan Town Patrol Battalion under Lin Ziran is not an old-style front-loading rifled gun, but a Mini rifle, because of the existence of Mini bullets, the rate of fire of the Mini rifle is roughly the same as that of a smoothbore gun.

And the accuracy at long distances is much stronger than that of conventional front-loading rifled guns.

This also allows Lin Ziran's Qingshan Patrol Battalion to use this tactic of long-distance skirmisher shooting.

After finalizing the general plan, Lin Ziran did not rush to attack with his troops immediately, but sent the cavalry out to spy on the military situation, while he himself took three companies of musketeers outside the town for emergency adaptation training.

There aren't many things to train in, mainly two major items.

The first is to approach quietly, and then camouflage an ambush, so as not to be discovered by the enemy a few hundred meters away.

The second is more important, if not the most important: retreat!

Because the predetermined tactic is to shoot from a distance, and the enemy will run as soon as he comes up, the ability to retreat becomes very important.

To this end, he carried out targeted training on tactical retreat, and gathered all squad leaders and above to give lectures.

The purpose of the lecture is one: to make them more decisive and resolute when they retreat, but they must not be chaotic.

Lin Ziran didn't want to fight when the time came, and when the enemy launched a counterattack from a few hundred meters away, and then his own side retreated, the tactical retreat would collapse.

It is not easy to achieve this, and the requirements for the organizational ability of the troops are still relatively high.

Fortunately, Lin Ziran has already implemented the company platoon system, and in an infantry company, in addition to the main officer such as the company commander, there is also a deputy company commander.

Then there are three platoons, each with a platoon leader and a deputy platoon commander.

There are three classes under the platoon, and there are squad leaders.

The command and management ability of the grassroots units is still relatively good.

But in the process of emergency adaptation training in the past two days, Lin Ziran still felt that it was too reluctant to rely on a squad leader to command fourteen people.
