Chapter 416: The First Wave of Attacks [Fifth Update]
Zhang Zhun's narration just now was explained in simple terms, and it was told in combination with the battle during the day, and they really understood it. If they sit in a classroom, away from the battlefield, they may not understand. In fact, Zhang Zhun has told so much, and the core is still the sixteen Yu policy of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy stationed and disturbing me, the enemy tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase. In layman's terms, it is to only take advantage and not suffer losses.
"Everyone went their separate ways."
"Remind everyone again, only take advantage and don't suffer losses!"
"No matter what kind of temptation you encounter, you can't do it brutally!"
"From here to Qingzhou City, there are more than two hundred miles, we have the opportunity to eat the enemy bite by bite, if you are too greedy, fall into the hands of the enemy, and lose all my men and horses, military law is ruthless!"
Zhang Zhun said coldly.
Zhang Zhun was never worried about the enthusiasm of his subordinates to seek war. Once in combat mode, these people are all crazy. The only thing he worries about is that these guys are all more than brave, and if they fall into the trap of the other party if they are not cautious, their losses will be great.
This thousand cavalry is his precious egg, and he is still counting on this as the backbone to establish a large cavalry force of the Tiger Ben Army to fight against his godson in the future. If it's damaged here, you can't get it! Therefore, he repeatedly emphasized the words of only taking advantage and not suffering losses, so as to prevent his subordinates from being too impulsive.
"Understood!"
All the officers agreed, and dispersed.
They are of course happy to take advantage of the situation and not suffer losses. It's a pity that the cavalry battalion of officers and soldiers will not be dispatched, and even if they want to grab it, they will not be able to grab more war horses. Since you can't grab the war horse, let's find something else to do.
Zhu Dadian was in a heavy mood, and when he had dinner, he had no appetite at all. His nephew Zhu Han let people heat up a few times, but Zhu Dadian didn't eat it. In the end, Zhu Han asked people to boil a bowl of rice porridge and serve it, and Zhu Dadian barely ate a little. In fact, literati are really not suitable for commanding troops, as soon as his spirit is nervous and his diet is irregular, Zhu Dadian feels that his headache is getting worse and worse. If you don't touch your head unintentionally, it's like exploding, and it's miserable.
This string is really big for people!
originally thought that he would only encounter Zhang Zhun's resistance when he was close to Qingzhou City, but he didn't expect that Gangdan would fall into such a predicament when he left Jinan City. The officers and men had 40 times the strength of Zhang Zhun, but they could not effectively wield it. Such a result is simply crazy. If only there were 4,000 people, it would be 40,000! 40,000 people were overwhelmed by 1,000 people, and it was a great shame to say it.
The two chief military officers, Shao Jinguang and Meng Xiangjun, are also up and down, and they always feel that their eyelids are jumping. I don't know what I'm dancing to, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. The two of them were in Zhu Dadian's tent, following the instructions, and seeing Zhu Dadian's unthinking appearance, the uneasiness in their hearts became even stronger.
The daytime battles, the performance of the officers and soldiers, were really terrible. It's all about parrying, and there's no power to fight back at all! I don't know how the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army was trained, why they are so cunning? In one day's battle, the governor's cavalry lost more than half of his men and horses. That's the treasure of the governor's heart, I don't know how much the governor's heart hurts.
When he was in Fengyang Mansion, Zhu Dadian relied on the strength of the cavalry battalion and the personal army to finally defeat the rebellious army in Shaanxi. The governor at that time was unstoppable! Unexpectedly, after returning to Shandong, Zhang Zhun was given a hard beating. Maybe the governor hasn't fully come to his senses yet.
The daytime battle was still like this, and the more dangerous night came. God knows what kind of actions the Tiger Army will take at night. On the first night after leaving Jinan City, I hope there will be no tragedy! It's just that you can think of it with your heels, how can Zhang Zhun waste an umbrella on such a night?
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, from the northwest side of the camp, a series of gunfire was heard.
The gunfire was very dense and intense, as if an enemy had broken in.
"What's going on?" Zhu Dadian frowned and asked.
"Let's take a look." Meng Xiangjun hurriedly said.
This camp is under the jurisdiction of Meng Xiangjun, and it is also the area where the guards are stationed. For the guards under his command, all the officers were not at ease, and Meng Xiangjun hurriedly brought his own soldiers over to deal with it.
The gunfire continued for a while, and then suddenly disappeared eerily. The gunshots came and went quickly, giving a very abrupt feeling. It's like playing with a woman when she is playing **, and the woman who suddenly appears is gone. Even Zhu Dadian could feel that behind the gunshots, something bad must have happened.
Sure enough, Meng Xiangjun quickly came back with a gloomy face.
Zhu Dadian said in a deep voice! "What's going on?"
Meng Xiangjun said a little frustratedly: "There is a patrol team that has been ambushed, twenty people, all of them are gone. ”
Zhu Dadian frowned and was silent.
Camping late at night, of course, is inseparable from patrols. For the safety of the camp, the patrol team was to patrol the outside of the camp in order to prevent the enemy from approaching the camp. When arranging for encampment tonight, officers at all levels naturally habitually arranged patrols. Unexpectedly, the patrol team was actually ambushed by the Tiger Army.
Unexpectedly, none of the twenty-person patrol survived. In such a short period of time, how did the Tiger Army do it by annihilating a patrol of twenty people at once? How did they get to the outside of the camp? If a patrol is attacked, there will definitely be troops to meet it, so what's going on?
Meng Xiangjun said helplessly: "The troops who went out to meet in the back were also shot and killed by the Tiger Ben Army, and they also suffered dozens of casualties. They did not dare to go out to meet the patrol, and as a result, the patrol was killed. ”
Since this patrol was completely wiped out, the other patrols did not dare to leave the camp. Tonight's moonlight shines on people's hearts. When the patrol walked outside the camp, it was like a target hanging on the wall, which only attracted the slaughter of the enemy. It is clearly a life to die, of course, no one wants to go, even if it is to disobey military orders.
"All the patrols, don't go out to the camp to patrol."
}]]
"Arrange more sentinels"
Zhu Dadian said with a gloomy face.
The current situation is very obvious, as long as someone leaves the camp, they will inevitably suffer the blow of the Tiger Army. With the help of the moonlight, the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army saw everything in the Ming army camp clearly. As long as someone leaves the camp, it is more than lucky. If the patrol is forcibly ordered to go out, it is very likely to lead the camp to howl.
Zhu Han said a little worriedly: "My lord, if the enemy takes the opportunity to infiltrate"
Without patrols, the enemy has a chance to exploit the loopholes. They will do everything they can to sneak into the barracks. If the Tiger Army is allowed to get into the barracks, the consequences will be very serious. Especially in the second half of the night, the situation is even more dangerous. As long as you are in charge of the army, you know this very well.
Zhu Dadian said slowly: "Try to send more sentinels and guard them tightly." Strict separation measures should be taken between each camp. People who are not in their own camp are strictly prohibited from entering other camps. ”
Meng Xiangjun and Shao Fuguang arranged separately.
The order was delivered, and all the patrols hurriedly withdrew. At the same time, various units began to send a large number of additional sentries to monitor every corner of the barracks. Some units originally had only a dozen or so sentinels at night, but now they have tripled to more than 30 sentinels. For most of them, their bodies are still exposed. However, since it was in the camp, there was no psychological pressure. The cavalry of the Tiger Army must not break into the camp.
At the same time, in the middle of the nine camps, all areas are demarcated as no-pass. In other words, the people of each camp can only move within their own camp, even the senior officers. In the middle of each camp, there were personal guards of the various generals. If you trespass, you will be beheaded on the spot as a spy. As a result of strict separation measures, tension in the barracks was further strengthened.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire in the southwest.
The gunshots came from Shao Jinguang's jurisdiction, and Shao Jinguang hurriedly went to see what was going on.
The gunfire lasted for half an hour before it finally subsided. Soon after, Shao Jinguang sent someone to report that it was the Tiger Ben army that had gathered and attacked the camp of a group of guards. The camp of this guard was attacked by the Tiger Ben Army because it was more prominent. Fortunately, the guards ran fast and only killed more than 30 people.
Because of this attack, the guards were very dissatisfied with their camp arrangement. In the midst of the chaos, they were now in the outermost part of the camp where they guarded the camp. In other words, if the Tiger Army attacked, they would be the first to be attacked. As a result, the guards suddenly stopped.
Due to the abolition of the guard system, the backbone of the guard soldiers basically found their own way out. The rest of those who are still in the guard are either honest and decent, or they are old fritters who are messing around. These people who got up to make trouble are these old fritter soldiers. What they love to do most is to be cheap. Absolutely do not do anything that kills. No, the first instinct of these people is to find a way to escape.
