The first evil must be done, and the evil must be eliminated!

With an order, more than 30 thieves led by Takami were beheaded together. Zhu Youzhen knows very well that these thieves have accumulated habits in history that are difficult to change, and they have rebelled and are capricious. Expecting them to be "transformed" is pure fantasy!

At this time, all the prisoners of war had been disposed of, and the Qin soldiers counted the loot. One of the biggest gains is the war horse, Gao saw that these 500 people actually have nearly 300 war horses! At this time, Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered 100 cavalry-trained infantry to replace them into cavalry.

In this way, the cavalry in the Qin army reached 200 people, and there were many war horses surplus. Zhu Youzhen also allocated them to the cavalry, and when fighting, the cavalry could change to horses with abundant physical strength, and their combat effectiveness was virtually improved a lot.

Next, Zhu Youzhen ordered Qin Bing to hurry up and have lunch. Taking advantage of this, the generals in the army gathered together again, chewing dry food while discussing the next plan of action.

After topographical survey, everyone found that Meijiaping, where Gao Jie was garrisoned, and Xiaoyang Village, where Li Chengdong was garrisoned, were separated by no more than a mile. No matter which group of thieves the Qin soldiers attacked, the other group of thieves would immediately detect it and lead the army to rescue them. If one is not careful, the Qin soldiers will be flanked. This is the so-called "horn momentum", but it is deeply in line with the art of war.

In contrast, Wu Shengzhao and Li Benshen were stationed a little forward, about five or six miles away from Meijiaping. Therefore, the generals believed that, in line with the principle of "concentrating superior forces and destroying the enemy's living forces," they should attack one of the two divisions first, and then act at the opportunistic opportunity.

Zhu Youzhen also agrees with everyone's ideas. And he knows better than everyone that Gao Jie and Li Chengdong are both famous people in history, and they are definitely two hard bones to gnaw.

Let's talk about Gao Jie first, he was originally Li Zicheng's general, but later because of his illicit affair with Xing, he simply surrendered to the official army. Since then, he has made many meritorious achievements in battles with the peasant army, and his military power has become increasingly powerful.

In addition, the well-known generals of the Ming Dynasty died or surrendered, and when the Qing army entered the customs and the blessed king Zhu Yousong ascended the throne in Nanjing, Gao Jie became one of the "four towns of Jiangbei" in the Southern Ming Dynasty. He commanded 30,000 rulers and 9,000 horses and mules, and was not very constrained by the imperial court, and his military discipline was extremely bad, as if he had become a warlord who dominated the party.

It's a pity that when he fought with the peasant army or with the Ming army, his combat effectiveness was still quite strong. But when you encounter the Jurchen cavalry, you are still at a loss. Not long after, he was booby-trapped by the traitor Xu Dingguo. Although he did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty until his death and maintained the national integrity, he did not play much of a helpful role in fighting against the great cause of the Qing Dynasty.

As for Li Chengdong, he is even more of a traitor, and his shamelessness is comparable to Wu Sangui. He first followed Gao Jie to betray Li Zicheng and surrender to Ming; After Gao Jie's death, he surrendered to the Qing army. Later, he thought that the black gauze hat given by the Qing court was too small, and he erected an anti-Qing banner, which was finally exterminated by the Qing army. is so capricious, and it can be called the "three surname slaves" at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

What's even more outrageous is that the most notorious "Three Massacres of Jiading" is this Li Chengdong's "masterpiece"! He led an army of 5,000 Han people with big pigtails to massacre the people of Jiading, who were also Han Chinese. In just over 20 days, Jiading City was slaughtered by him three times in a row, killing tens of thousands of people and countless women who had raped silver. Jiading, which was prosperous in the past, made him destroy ten rooms and ten emptiness!

Then, he went south to Fujian and Liangguang, shot and killed Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu, and captured Zhu Yuyue, Emperor Shaowu, and made great contributions to the Manchu Dynasty's theft of the Ming Dynasty. Later, no matter what his purpose was to betray the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't change the infamy of the big traitor through the ages!

Of course, now it is another time and space, and Gao Jie and Li Chengdong are still just thieves. But their combat capability should not be weak, so Zhu Youzhen naturally did not dare to underestimate the enemy. It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, so Zhu Youzhen immediately made a decision to hit Wu Shengzhao and Li Benshen first. After these two films, the camera decides to advance and retreat.

But Wu Shengzhao and Li Benshen have similar troops and are stationed very close, which one should be fought first? And if one is hit, the other will be shocked, whether it is running away to send a letter or coming directly to help, it will bring a lot of trouble to the Qin soldiers.

When the generals were hesitating, Zhu Youzhen said: "Let's think about it, if the two of us fight together, is there any certainty of victory?" ”

Several people were stunned, and once again felt the informality of His Royal Highness the King of Qin. But when I think about it, I think this plan is very feasible!

Qi Meifeng pondered for a moment and said, "I think our army can divide into two ways and launch a surprise attack on these two bandits at the same time. In terms of military strength, these two bandits are similar to the Takamibu who had just been annihilated by our army, and their combat effectiveness is probably not much different. On the other hand, after our army doubled its cavalry, its surprise attack ability was also greatly enhanced, and it was completely possible to concoct it in the same way and annihilate two bandits at the same time! ”

The rest of the generals also agreed. Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought that an excellent general must have the character of being brave and resolute and not afraid of strong enemies. When the strength of the army is superior to the opponent, many generals dare to take the initiative; But when the two sides are evenly matched, or even when their own side is at a disadvantage, many people only care about self-protection and dare not fight a decisive battle with the enemy, which is also one of the significant differences between mediocre generals and good generals.

Zhu Youzhen also watched a lot of military-themed TV series in his previous life, most of which were shoddy "divine dramas", only "Bright Sword" can be called a masterpiece. Because this TV series is not confined to those specific battle scenes, but focuses on portraying the "bright sword spirit" of our army's commanders and fighters.

Now it seems that these generals under his command all have the "spirit of bright swords", which makes Zhu Youzhen feel very pleased. However, after all, the Qin soldiers did not have many troops, and this battle not only could not be defeated, but also had to be won to reduce casualties as much as possible. This is almost a harsh requirement, which still makes Zhu Youzhen think about it.

He pondered for a long time before he made up his mind and said slowly: "The generals listen to the order!" ”

"In!"

"Meifeng, Xie Yong, you and this king led a hundred cavalry and three hundred infantry to raid Wu Shengzhao's department in Lijiagou!"

"Obey!"

"Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng, you lead the rest of the men and horses to raid Li Benshen in the Eighteen Fangs! Dingguo, you come to be the main general, you must be bold and careful, and win by surprise! This king awaits your good news! ”

"The last general obeys!"

"Yan Ling, Xie Sheng, you lead all the special combat team members, as a reserve, responsible for liaison between the two armies. If any way is tight, immediately reinforcements, start more ruthlessly, and be fast! ”

"Obey!"

"Good! Let's see if the soldiers have finished eating, and immediately start after eating! ”
