"Du He, how's the situation?"

Zhang Zongyu asked.

Du He said in a deep voice: "King Liang, I'm afraid this operation will not be so smooth......"

"How?"

Du He continued: "According to the report of the cavalry scout, the Qing army's defense is very tight, and there are cavalry guards in front and behind the Qing army......

Zhang Zongyu frowned and replied: "Since you are here, you can't go back empty-handed, otherwise the reputation of our Twist Army cavalry will be ruined, and even a sneak attack will not be good, which one will be willing to follow the Twist Army to fight the world in the future?" ”

Du He nodded and replied: "King Liang, now is not the time to be in a hurry, we need to stabilize our minds, anyway, there is still a considerable distance from Xinxiang Mansion here, we are waiting for the opportunity to move, as long as we find a flaw, we will rush up, there is no flaw, we are hanging far away in the distance, hunters hunt, always have to be patient......"

Zhang Zongyu nodded and asked, "Du He, do you have any other good ways?" ”

Du He groaned: "We only rely on sabers and bows and arrows now, but it is too difficult to sneak attack the Qing army, after all, these weapons are too bad compared to foreign guns and foreign cannons, we can't match our opponents at all, the only way is to take advantage of the situation!" ”

"Excuse me?"

Zhang Zongyu was stunned for a moment and asked, "How to take advantage of the situation?" ”

"The so-called borrowing is to take advantage of the time, location, and people, and now it is the ninth weather, the weather is cold and dry, and it is the most convenient for fire attack; The location is advantageous, now we are located in an open plain, which is most conducive to the assault of the cavalry, and all the surrounding terrain and landforms may help us; Harmony, we must unite as one, the battle is to advance, defeat is to retreat, the order is unified, this is the way to win, now our most likely strategy, is to attack, take precautions, can mobilize all our rockets, although the number is limited, but if it is played well, it can still play a huge role. ”

Zhang Zongyu was overjoyed, patted Du He's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, Du He, you are worthy of being my little Zhuge ah, let you say this, I am more confident, whether it is the other party's baggage or the other party's artillery, we must do a big vote before we withdraw the troops, otherwise, if we go back, we will not have the face to see King Zun!" ”

The so-called wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, any wise man has a time when he can't think about it, this time, Guo Ye miscalculated, he only knew that Zhang Zongyu was difficult to deal with, Lai Wenguang was calm, but he didn't expect that a Du He was more terrible than Lai Wenguang and Zhang Zongyu. The most terrible thing is that the soldiers of Baoding Town, at this critical time, actually made a mistake themselves!

It was late at night, and the entire town of Baoding was stationed and rested on the spot.

Zhang Hexiang ran over from behind and said in a low voice: "Ming Shuai, the army has been arranged, there are no omissions, you should rest early." ”

Guo Ye nodded and asked, "What about the baggage battalion behind, where are they?" ”

Zhang Hexiang bowed down and said: "Marshal Ming, now the baggage battalion is sixteen miles away, and Commander He has already assigned two battalions of cavalry to garrison it, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"Oh."

Guo Ye agreed softly, and suddenly Guo Ye's face changed, sixteen miles away, isn't it a pine forest sixteen miles away?

"Crane Xiang! Isn't there a large pine forest sixteen miles away? ”

Zhang Hexiang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it is a pine forest, such as today's cold and freezing, the soldiers are suffering from wind and frost, and our baggage battalion is stationed in the pine forest in order to avoid the wind and cold......

"Bastard!"

Guo Ye suddenly jumped up and roared angrily: "Did Guo Lian's brain let the donkey kick?" How can he station the baggage battalion in the woods, he is a stinky ****, has he forgotten that it is said in the art of war, 'Don't enter the forest'! Damn it! Hexiang immediately sent fast horses and told the baggage battalion to move out of the pine forest immediately, ******, even if Lao Tzu was frozen into ice, he must not enter the pine forest! ”

Guo Ye is really angry, he has never had such a big temper, now it is the cold winter wax moon, the weather is dry, the pine tree is the most flammable tree, a torch, you can burn the entire forest, if it is really to let the Taiping army attack and sneak attack, then the baggage camp will be miserable, I am afraid that even the two cavalry will be affected!

Guo Ye sent a fast horse to give an order, but he was still not at ease, and roared angrily: "Tengjiao, Tengjiao, roll over to Lao Tzu!" ”

He Tengjiao, who was not far away, had just laid down, and he heard the roar of the eldest brother, and he didn't know what was going on, and when he heard the eldest brother calling himself, he hurriedly ran over and said urgently: "Big brother, what happened?" ”

Guo Ye's face turned pale, and he shouted angrily: "Quick, immediately gather all the cavalry, ready to fight at any time!" The third and fourth battalions remained around the artillery battalion and were on strict alert, and all the rest of the cavalry battalions immediately moved closer in the direction of the baggage battalion, quick! Burn the wind! ”

He Tengjiao was stunned when he boarded, what happened to make the eldest brother anxious like this!

Seeing that He Tengjiao was still standing in place, Guo Ye kicked over fiercely and scolded angrily: "Dog, you are so stupid, don't hurry up and assemble the team, no matter how late it is, you will wait to collect the corpses of the people in the baggage camp!" ”

Only then did He Tengjiao come to his senses, and hurriedly turned around and roared: "Order, all the cavalry assemble immediately!" Get ready for battle! ”

As soon as He Tengjiao's words fell, the cavalry battalion had not had time to complete the assembly, only to see the northern flames rising into the sky, illuminating the night as if it were day!

Guo Ye punched himself in the head hard, ******, damn Guo Lian, damn it, you killed the brothers!"

If at this time, He Tengjiao no longer understands what is going on, then he will really become a fool, the fire is rising to the sky, it is the direction of the baggage camp, it is a large amount of grain, grass and ammunition, if a fire is burned out, this fun will be great!

"The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth battalions of the cavalry immediately galloped in the direction of the pine forest! Quick, ******, run for Lao Tzu! ”

He Tengjiao roared hysterically, took the lead, and ran down in the direction of the pine forest.

It's still a step late, Du He is right, the so-called time and place are favorable, if you want to win a game in Baoding Town, you must occupy the right time, place and people!

If it is dry today, the time is occupied, and it is most suitable for arson; The baggage battalion lives in a pine forest, this pine forest, a radius of six or seven miles, the area is huge, once the fire boils, it is hell on earth, no matter how many soldiers are in it, it will become a roast duck! He was the one who was harmonious, and the unlucky Guo Lian was that person, and his brain was sick and greedy for temporary comfort, and he sent four hundred brothers from the heavy battalion into the fire pit!
