Ninety-seven, do the opposite
"New Delhi has determined that there is a heavy ambush," Li Man said, "if they take the initiative to attack, we will make a detour to attack them halfway, this method is possible, but it needs to be based on the information we know very well to fight, and Dhaka, the distance is even farther, even if we rush over, we only have 3,000 men, the strength is far inferior to the first class, they can't fight down, we definitely can't fight down, these two places, I think, don't have to go, we can't go." ”
Jin Ning nodded, "They have the troops, and it is true that they can't go to these two places." ”
Xue Pan asked Lu Lianshan, "Is the food in the city all distributed?" ”
"Except for what is prepared for our own use, the rest is all gone," said Lu Lianshan, who admired it very much, "Everyone in the city is grateful." ”
"How many days will our grain and grass last?"
"In about half a month, there is no need to worry, but under normal circumstances, if the enemy attacks, you can't say that you have to lose some heavy ones, and it will be difficult to say when the time comes."
Xue Pan nodded, "That's good, since there is still half a month," Xue Pan pondered, "Let's go to New Delhi and have a look!" ”
"What?"
"Isn't this going to New Delhi to death?" Li Shaopu said eagerly, "Class A is such a powerful army, but also lost in the hands of the reinforcements sent by the Governor of New Delhi, I heard Li Man say, said that this Governor Marbury in New Delhi, calm temperament, steady action, he dares to send reinforcements, I am afraid that there are more cavalry and musketeers waiting for us in New Delhi, let's just order the men, squad leader, can not be rash, go to the egg to touch the stone." ”
Li Shaopu gushed, "This time in Cobb City, everywhere I went, everyone was rushing to greet each other, thanks to the clever calculation of the head of the class, the people in this city have become our friends, there was originally an Englishman who sneaked into a rich man's house, and today they also pulled it out and dedicated it to us, in my shallow opinion, as long as we continue to use this method, there is no need to face off with the British, and in a few days, I am afraid that we will really come and go freely in this Tianzhu." At that time, no matter how arrogant the British are, he will be afraid that we will continue to make trouble, and he will inevitably force them to hand over Madrid Sihan. ”
Some people may not be liked from the beginning, Xue Pan is this kind of person, originally Li Shaopu hated Xue Pan's teeth itching, but after entering Tianzhu, seeing Xue Pan acting like this, he really gradually admired, and this time he began to be anxious with Xue Pan, "Even if the British are unwilling to hand over Madrid Sihan, but as long as we are not defeated by the British, grinding to the end, it must be our B class winning, they have already suffered defeat, is it difficult to compete with us for the crown?" ”
Cao Cheng said with a smile, "Commissioner Li actually attaches so much importance to the big competition between the two classes? ”
"Why not?" Li Shaopu rolled his eyes, "Let's come to this Tianzhu thousands of miles away, isn't it just to win the big competition?" Although the final way to win is a little shameless, but in my opinion, it is still the method of sneaking around and stirring up trouble like this is the most headache for the British. ”
"What Brother Shaopu said is very true," Xue Pan nodded, "We people are indeed not enough, and I can't bear to suffer a slight loss." ”
"But," Xue Pan looked around at everyone, "If we don't try how much pressure there is on New Delhi, even if we run around in the future, we may not have exact preparations to deal with them, as the saying goes, it's a donkey or a horse, and we have to go for a walk, if we don't give it a try, I don't know how powerful they are." ”
When everyone saw Xue Pan say this, they were all a little surprised, didn't they say that they were going to take advantage of the battle in a roundabout way? Why is this going to break through head-on again?
"This morale is to be cultivated step by step," Xue Pan said slowly, "If we have been hiding from the British army, then although there is nothing special on the surface, but inside, we will feel that the British army cannot be confronted head-on, doesn't that mean?" ”
Everyone was shocked to realize that this was indeed the case, although they did not say it explicitly, but the big guys knew that Britain was the first power in the world in their hearts, so the British army naturally had no way to break through head-on, so after fearing the enemy for a long time, how could it be possible to win the future war?
As soon as he said this, the big guys understood, and Jin Ning also understood this reason, so he wanted to ask for battle, Li Man said, "If it is an attack, I am afraid that our plan will have to be changed." ”
"You don't need to change it yet," Xue Pan said with a smile, "We don't want to fight the British head-on, Commissar Jin, you take five hundred people and run overnight to find out how the British are doing?" ”
"You don't need to get close to New Delhi, just go and find out what gifts they have prepared for us, and try how effective their firepower is. Xue Pan gave the order, "I have already said, I don't want to be with the British, but at least I want to know how they can be, since they want to make trouble, then don't be afraid of small things, now rest immediately, and set off again at dusk, and the brothers on the rivers and lakes will be guided by the front and rear guards!" ”
"Yes!"
Such a quick sneak attack, the need is the most convenient transportation, naturally at this time do not bring any heavy food materials or anything, everyone has some horses, although not a lot, but from the Gurkha and various places have been purchased, plus the city of Cobb has been seized, there are also a lot, all the horses can not be ridden, but can help transport muskets, ammunition, knives, etc., enough for this group of people to drive, reduce the hardship on the road.
The young general of the Sichuan army also enthusiastically participated in the battle, although he was not tall, but he was in a strong posture, and he didn't seem to be the master of mixed food, so Xue Pan ordered him to go with him, just to listen to the orders and not to act indiscriminately.
"Daguan, don't worry, where am I the one who will mess around, as long as the big official commands, the fire comes to the water, and if the eyebrows are wrinkled, I am not a good Erlang in Shu, but the turtle son of your big official!"
Xue Pan touched his nose, "There is no need for a turtle son, if you are a turtle son, how can I be better." ”
The expedition is imminent, Xue Pan is a little indebted to Jin Ning, "Among our class B, those who know a little bit of martial arts, that is, Brother Jin, you are alone, if you don't send you there, I'm afraid that this matter will not be done well, just send you to go, others are okay, you lead the brothers to fight, be careful in everything, if there is anything wrong, I have no shame to go back to see Uncle Jinmian." ”
"What's this," Jin Ning disagreed, "I'm really like a fish in water when I come to Tianzhu, and the head of the squad can give me the opportunity to fight, it's really happy!" ”
