Chapter 192: A Fateful Time (12)
When he led the troops out, he was actually full of confidence, he was the most outstanding young man of the generation of the beggar tribe, even his uncle Qifu Guoren also said in public that he was more suitable to take on the future of the tribe than his own son, although he regarded himself very highly, but he had the corresponding capital, because he was both civil and military, became famous as a young man, and had a high prestige in the tribe.
But? When he walked ten miles forward, but still didn't see a single figure, and even the scouts of the Dunhuang army didn't find one, Begging Blazing felt that something was wrong.
He had no reason, just his intuition, and his intuition felt that there was a problem here, so he immediately gave an order for the beggar mansion to lead two hundred men behind.
The beggar mansion asked puzzled at the time: "Big brother, we are relatively few people in the first place, why are you here!" ”
Begging for Blazing Pan said in a deep voice: "Third child, don't you think something is wrong! ”
"Ahh Something is wrong! "The beggar mansion is relatively slow to react.
"You think, after they took Nan'an, they have made considerable progress, but look at the front, Nan'an City actually has no lights, it's pitch black, isn't there a problem here, even if he Duan Ye is relatively low-key and doesn't like publicity, but it doesn't make sense, Nan'an City is blind!"
Actually, this is just Duan Ye's habit, it is better to control the lights first when he takes a new city, and he doesn't have any consideration, but for a long time, some of the rumors about Duan Ye have become so divine that Begging Blazing Pan is really over-interpreting this time.
For a long time, the Begging Mansion was very convinced of his brother, and since the Begging Mansion said so, the Beggar Mansion began to ponder, there is indeed a problem here! If they capture a city, they will definitely celebrate the first night with a feast of soldiers, and it is not easy to take a city, how can it be done without celebrating.
That period of karma is so calm, there must be something wrong here.
Seeing the beggar mansion nodding, the beggar blazing pan continued: "So, Duan Ye did this, there must be a problem in it, I don't believe he made it dark without looking for trouble, we have to be careful!" ”
The beggar mansion patted his chest and said, "Big brother, you are higher than me, this time when you go out, you have the final say, I will listen to you!" ”
"Good!" Begging and blazing said: "Sometimes, more people are not necessarily safe, less people are not necessarily dangerous, do you understand, and you take 200 people with you, in case I encounter a problem, you can still come to the rescue, um!" ”
The Beggar Mansion understood, but? But he said: "Big brother, you are the most promising person in the beggar department, I will do this dangerous work!" ”
"No, I'm coming, who made me the big brother?" Beggar Blazing Pan said with a smile.
"Big brother!"
"It's an order!" The beggar raised his face.
The beggar mansion was helpless, so he had to nod and agree.
It's just that at this moment, the relationship between the two brothers is very good, but who knows that so many changes will happen between the two in the future?
At the same time, after mobilizing, Duan Ye's people also found a pass outside Nan'an City to ambush, the reason why they chose to do this, instead of sweeping widely, was because they only had a hundred people, and a hundred people let go of the attack, even if they could win, they could only fight a rout, not a war of annihilation.
But Duan Ye is a person, either don't do it, or do it, he not only wants to win, but also to win beautifully, he wants to eliminate all these sixty people, and he won't let go of any of them.
In fact, Duan Ye's scouts also made a serious mistake, when they set out, the begging and begging mansions had already completed the division of troops, in other words, Duan Ye's scouts only found the begging and blazing divisions, because they were relatively high-profile, but they did not notice the headquarters of the begging mansions, because according to the requirements of the begging blazing pans, they were silent and followed.
When Begging Fu Chipan gave such an order, he really didn't think about it that much, but by chance, it really caused Duan Ye to get the wrong information.
The importance of intelligence to war is self-evident, and in intelligence, the most important thing is actually the news of the enemy's strength, but this time, Duan Ye got the news that the other party only had sixty people, and the actual number of people was more than four times this, which was a serious miscalculation.
And Duan Ye attaches too much importance to intelligence work, and his scouts have always performed very well in the past, so Duan Ye gave them extreme trust, and if the trust is excessive, they will lose the opportunity to reflect and check, Duan Ye really should review it, because according to the intelligence of sixty people, Duan Ye only brought out a hundred people, but his hundred people have to face nearly three hundred people.
Duan Ye has been able to win many battles in the past, which looks magnificent, but in fact, there is only one real trick, that is, to concentrate superior forces and strike at relatively weak enemies, no matter what the overall balance of power is? Locally, we must fight more and fight less, strong against weak, so that it is naturally easier to accumulate small victories into big victories.
This is easy to say, but in fact, it is an extremely profound military thought, fortunately, Duan Ye got the ideas he refined after countless actual battles from the military strategist surnamed Mao, and applied them to the actual situation now, and the effect is good, which makes Duan Ye even more confident, at least now, Duan Ye and Cui Hao are squatting behind the same big stone, their expressions are quite relaxed?
And the heart of the begging blazing pan now, in fact, is still very nervous, in order to open the distance, he led these sixty loyal warriors to rush forward, his younger brother begging the mansion, and he is already some distance from himself, if something happens, if you want to help, in fact, it will take a considerable amount of time.
In front, the outline of Nan'an City can already be faintly seen, and in the night, Nan'an City in the distance is lying there, without lights, without sound, and it looks like a dead city.
Originally, he led the army here to defend Nan'an City and give those guys in Dunhuang who don't know whether to live or die a little color.
However, since his uncle, the wise and martial uncle, had given the order, he had no choice but to let the army return to Fort Warriors as a sign of obedience.
But the matter is not over, I am a man and a soldier, I can't tolerate not fighting, so I abandon the city, Nan'an City, I have my own countless efforts, and I must protect it.
Along the way, it has always been flat land, but near the city of Nan'an, there are some small hills, after the hills, it is a smooth road, the horse gallops for a while, you can get to the city.
There are few people on their own, and it is of course impossible to recapture Nan'an City, but at least you can harass them and make them not live so comfortably and proudly.
Moreover, Duan Ye's gang has engaged in light control, and the reality of the city, presumably they don't know it, their own safety is basically guaranteed, and they even thought about it, if it doesn't work, they will divide their sixty people into multiple groups and take turns to make trouble in the city, which will definitely have a good effect.
At the beginning, Duan Ye was able to take Jiuquan City in a bloody battle, and this move worked very well, if at this moment, Duan Ye learned that this begging blazing rock actually had such an idea, I don't know what he would say.
It's just that suddenly, Beggar Blazing felt that something was wrong ahead, everything here looked normal, even a stone on the side of the road that he often saw, it was still in the same position as before.
But because of this, Begging Blazing felt that something was wrong, he didn't believe that all this was still the same after going through so much, and if it was the same, it could only be that people wanted him to think so.
In order to keep his whereabouts secret, Begging Blazing Pan ordered that the whole army was not allowed to use torches, so in fact, they were discrediting the march, and it was only because they were more familiar with this piece that Begging Blazing Rock would be so bold.
But his long-standing instinct told him that there must be something wrong here, so he exclaimed, "Stop:"
It's just that he shouted a little late.
Almost at the same time, Duan Ye shouted, "Volley!" ”
This time, Duan Ye arranged 40 crossbowmen twice in the pass, they almost didn't bring other weapons, only the Divine Arm Bow, and these people have been training since the Divine Arm Bow was made, repeated training, training with no upper limit of intensity, this operation, Duan Ye brought them out, just to test the power of their actual combat.
No matter how well they perform in training and exercises, in the face of actual combat, there will always be a question mark.
At the same time as Duan Ye shouted, Cui Hao released three hidden arrows at the same time, and the fierce whistle sound resounded through the sky, and at the same time, a purple light rushed into the sky.
Undoubtedly, this is a flare, Duan Ye is not a gentle and frugal person, and he does not feel that the traverser must tie his hands and feet, and he can't do this, as long as he can serve his own great cause, Duan Ye can do everything, what is the big iron and steel industrial revolution, Duan Ye doesn't want to do it, it really can't be done, on the one hand, it is these knowledge, Duan Ye does not have it, he can't draw drawings, he can't make manuals, he can't make samples, in addition, it is really a lack of craftsmanship, some things, such as steam engines, Even if Duan Ye can know the principle and draw the drawings, the current method will not be able to achieve the effect.
However, Duan Ye can't do these big killers, there are some small things, within the scope of technology, of course Duan Ye will not hesitate to do them, such as the extremely important flare in the night battle.
This is not only a signal for the general attack, but also a signal to report to the city, Duan Ye still has a little mind, Duan Ping in the city was ordered to be on standby at any time, and when he saw the purple signal, he began to prepare, if Duan Ye did not send another signal, it means that everything is going well, otherwise, if Duan Ye sends another signal, it means that the situation is critical, Duan Ping will quickly bring people to support according to the place where the fierce battle began.
Facts have proved that it was this decision that saved Duan Ye's life.
