Chapter 30: Wei Zheng's Huge Appetite

Just as Wei Zheng was deep in thought, the platoon commander of the third platoon of the First Lancer Team walked over with a hot face. He reported excitedly to Wei Zheng.

"General, there are fifty-two Tartars in total, none of them have escaped the net, and all of them have been wiped out by us."

"In addition, we have captured a total of eight pairs of iron armor and 46 pairs of leather armor here, as for the other weapons, because they are too messy, there is no count for the time being......"

Wei Zheng nodded, and asked the question he wanted to know the most with an expressionless face.

"What about our losses, is it big?"

The platoon commander quickly shook his head and replied: "It's not big, six brothers were killed in the battle, and five brothers were wounded, most of them were ......caused by the Tartar archers when we attacked."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng said to himself after slamming his clenched fist on a big tree beside him.

"Archers again......"

"It seems that if we are to have the ability to fight a large army of Tartars, we must develop a long-range attack force that can rival the Tartar archers...... Otherwise, as long as the number of Tartar archers reaches a certain distance, our spear formation will not rush in front of the Tartars, and we will be completely killed by the Tartar archers. ”

The platoon commander standing in front of him looked puzzled and asked, "General, don't we already have a longbow platoon?" In time, I believe that the longbow platoon will be able to suppress the Tartar archers. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head and replied, "Longbow platoon, you underestimate the Tartar troops too much. ”

"You know, the Tartars are veterans of playing bows and arrows, and if we compare bows and arrows with them, our longbow platoon will not be able to catch up with them even if it takes another year of training. Besides, the training cycle required by the archers is too long, and we don't have the time. ”

The puzzled look on the platoon commander's face became even stronger, and he continued to ask, "What about ...... General, it's not like we're out of the way to restrain the Tartar archers ...."

"Musketeer......" Wei Zheng first shook his head, and then said with a firm face, his tone full of desire for muskets.

Seeing the confused expression on the platoon commander's face, Wei Zheng followed up and said, "Okay, let's not discuss this matter for now, after all, at this time, our Tiger and Leopard Army will be in the future." Now our urgency is to do our best to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress our Tartar troops, and to drive them out of the whole mountain. ”

"Ordered the brothers to eat all the barbecue meat of the captured Tartars, but the Tartars are not good for anything else, and the barbecue technology is first-class. In addition, you immediately find a clever brother, preferably a chief, and return to the barracks from this path, and bring the news of our two consecutive victories to Captain Wang, and then bring back the battle situation in the barracks...... Be ...... fast"

After half an hour of anxious waiting, the chief who had been sent out finally stood in front of Wei Zheng out of breath.

After drinking half a cowhide bag of water, he reported excitedly.

"General, Captain Wang asked me to report: The attack of the main force of the Tartars on the main gate of the barracks, for unknown reasons, suddenly stopped half an hour ago. Hundreds of Tartars were all stationed at the gate of the barracks, motionless. ”

"Not only that, but our brothers, who held the barracks, repelled two successive attacks by the Tartars, and eliminated almost twenty-five Tartars."

Relying on the dangerous terrain around the barracks to repel the Tartar attack was something that Wei Zheng expected. However, the Tartars stopped attacking the barracks after only two attacks, which Wei Zheng did not expect.

"Could it be that I am brewing some kind of conspiracy, or maybe the Tartars are afraid of us, knowing that they will not gain anything but death by storming the barracks, so they will suspend the attack..."Wei Zheng muttered to himself.

After listening to Wei Zheng's words, the platoon commander who had been standing beside him said with an arrogant face: "General, I don't think we have anything to worry about...."

"We've killed more than a hundred Tartars, not to mention the remaining more than a hundred Tartars... It's a big deal, let's wrap up all the tartars that entered the mountain, and wipe them all out..."

Saying this, the platoon commander's eyes directly released two fine lights, and continued: "If we can wrap all the Tartars that entered the mountain, then the hundreds of war horses and a large number of ordnance left by the Tartars in Mushroom Valley will all be ours. When the time comes, as long as there are people, our Tiger and Par Army can immediately expand our army and continue to fight the Tartars......"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intentional...

Although hundreds of war horses are not of much use to the current Tiger and Leopard Army, Wei Zheng believes that as the Tiger and Leopard Army continues to develop, these war horses will play a very important role sooner or later.

More importantly, before the single-shot rifle was really invented after the heavy machine gun, the cavalry not only had very strong mobility on the battlefield, but also had a very strong assault ability and combat effectiveness, and could definitely be called the king of land warfare.

In addition, there are only less than 130 Tatars who have entered the mountains at present, while the Haw Par Army under his command has become stronger and stronger because of continuous fighting. Once planned, eliminating them will not be a problem.

So, at this moment, Wei Zheng is tempted....

If you want to completely annihilate all the Tartars entering the mountains, the combat effectiveness and morale of the troops are one thing, and equipment also plays a vital role.

In particular, in many battles, the Tartars were given a destructive blow. As long as the number of guns is sufficient, you can completely annihilate all the Tartars entering the mountain with minimal casualties.

After a short hesitation, he asked the platoon leader of the second spear team: "Platoon Commander Li, how many throwing guns do we have in our hands that can continue to be used......

"Report to the general, there are more than 120 throwing guns that have not yet been used, and there are 80 or 90 that can be reused after just restoration. After averaging to each person in the second pike, you can divide each person into four. ”

More than 200 throwing guns, if used, can bring at least sixty kills to the Tartars.

With this confidence, coupled with the more and more mature more than 100 elites under his command, Wei Zheng immediately showed an unprecedented firm expression on his face, and said to his subordinates in front of him with a proud face: "Since this is the case, then we will swallow all the Tartars who entered the mountain in one bite and kill them all." ”

Just when everyone was suppressed by Wei Zheng's huge appetite, a chief rushed to everyone's location out of breath.

After giving a military salute to several people, he reported loudly: "General, we just caught a Tartar ......"

"When we were on patrol, we noticed a tartar approaching us, and one of our brothers surrounded him. Seeing that he was sneaky, I was worried that there would be a situation, so I didn't stab him to death on the spot, but tied him with a rope to see if I could ask for some information and information that we didn't know. ”

Wei Zheng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered a question that had just risen in his heart.

Why did the Tartars, who had only suffered two setbacks in their attacks, stop their attacks so quickly and stand still at the gate of the barracks.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng seemed to confirm his conjecture in his heart, and asked the chief in front of him with an eager face: "Which direction is this Tartar from......

"To the east, it is estimated that this Tartar does not know that more than fifty Tartars here have been wiped out by us, and they have directly crashed into the encirclement of our patrol." Shi Chang replied in a firm tone.

A sudden expression of realization quickly appeared on Wei Zheng's face, and he said with a self-muttering face: "That's right, the east side is exactly the direction of the gate of our military camp, that is, the direction where the main force of the Tartars is located." ”

"I'm sure that this Tartar must have been sent by their Niu Lu Zhangjing, as for the purpose, I don't know."

At this moment, the platoon commander of the 1st Lancer Team suddenly spoke: "General, we don't know, this Tartar must know." I grew up in the border and speak some Tatar dialect. I'll immediately go and interrogate this tartar and make him spit out all he knows. ”

Wei Zheng nodded approvingly and replied: "It seems that our Tiger and Leopard Army is a Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, since you know how to speak Tartar, then this Tartar will be handed over to you, you must hurry up, the Tartar will not leave us too much time." If the Tartar refuses to confess, I agree with you to torture him, anyway, after this Tartar falls into our hands, we will not be able to escape death in the end. ”

"Yes, General......" The platoon commander said excitedly.
