At dawn, the moon is dim, the weather is the coldest at this time, the peripheral sentinels of Xiaobotou Village retreat to the left and right of the wall, dismount and burn the campfire to keep warm.

Although Nahe Xiongqi was cautious, the following staff leaders and assistant leaders were used to winning battles, and they only wanted to pursue the Jiangdong Left Army that was fleeing to the south and avenge the bloody hatred of the clansmen who were lured and annihilated in Cangnan, and no one thought that the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army dared to hide on the island like Nahe Xiongqi.

The staff leaders and leaders who were forced to stay in Xiaobotou Village were full of resentment, although Nahe Xiongqi told them to be careful to guard the direction of the island, they only put a sentry post on the sea pond on the east side of Xiaobotou Village, and could only monitor the seawall to the narrow area of Xiaobotou Village.

Cangnan people go to the village, not to mention the big girl, even the head of the female dog can't be found, this dog's day.

*********

Twelve or thirteen miles south of Xiaobotou Village, the millet river is like a plain white long belt under the moon, frozen solidly, the river ice is three or four feet thick, it is difficult to smash it with a sledgehammer, only the ice at the edge is more fragile.

Taking advantage of the deep channel at the mouth of the river, the five-masted ship directly arrived at the river ice and moored, and the edge of the river ice crunched on the side of the ship, and the sound of the river ice cracking was unusually clear in the night.

Listening to the sound, Zhao Qingshan was startled, but he couldn't control too much, there were hidden and hidden plays, and there were alarming plays. They can't completely block the area around Xiaobotou Village, that requires too many troops, and their goal is to delay as much as possible the time for the main force of the counterattack to know that Xiaobotou Village has been attacked, and buy more time for the siege of Xiaobotou Village to completely annihilate the defending enemy.

The sailors on the ship handed down the ten-zhang long nail board, firmly grabbed the river ice near the embankment, four plates side by side, sixteen long nail boards, forming four disembarkation channels. Zhao Qingshan made the cavalry of the Liangdu Brigade, who had been on standby on the deck early, lead their horses and disembark, quickly spread out along the Xiaomi River, blocking the channel, and then the first pawn disembarked and boarded the embankment, and lined up along the south embankment of the Xiaomi River to prepare for the sudden return of the main force of the captive cavalry.

After the fourth battalion landed and deployed and sent back the light signal, Zhou Pu and Ning Zechen respectively took a fast paddle boat to carry the third battalion, the fifth battalion, and some of the Gonglu battalions that coordinated the attack on the village, totaling more than 1,400 soldiers to land on the seawall on the north and south sides of Xiaobotou Village, and approached Xiaobotou Village as covertly as possible, so as to prepare for a sudden assault on Xiaobotou Village.

The first battalion was led by Ao Canghai as a reserve, and it would not land until the third and fifth battalions launched an offensive against Xiaobotou Village. Ma Po Monkey and other sentinel generals and commanders are full of opinions, the first battalion deserves to be the most elite combat force of the Jiangdong Left Army, and the storming of Xiaobotou Village is actually used as a reserve, how can they have no opinions? However, in front of Lin Bin, there was no chance for them to be presumptuous, and Ao Canghai also suppressed them to death.

There are certainly advantages and disadvantages to this situation. The advantage is that everyone fights and has high morale, which will greatly make up for the shortcomings of insufficient training and combat experience; The disadvantage is that just like the captive cavalry at this time, the generals below will inevitably compete for victory.

However, the scale of the Jiangdong Left Army was still small, only 3,000 people, Ao Canghai, Zhou Pu, and Cao Ziang were all veterans who had gone through hardships and experienced a hundred battles, and only Ning Zechen and Zhao Qingshan had a slight lack of experience.

If Lin Jian separates an independent army and horses to fight, the first candidate that comes to mind is Cao Ziang, who is scheming and cautious, Ao Canghai and Zhou Pu are the second best candidates, and Ning Zechen and Zhao Qingshan still have to gather around them for exercise.

After all, all strategic and tactical intentions must be carried out and implemented by specific people, and generals with different personalities and abilities have different ability to implement specific strategic and tactical intentions.

Those who are wise and brave and can judge the situation and have a little good luck can be called famous generals. After all, famous generals are scarce animals, and they are hard to find.

After the victory in Cangnan, Lin Jian was also guessing what kind of generals Yezier, the king of Dongyu, would send to counterattack Cangnan.

In the past two days, seeing the caution and vigilance of the main general who counterattacked the Cangnan cavalry from the direction of Dezhou, Lin Jian can know that Ye Zier, the king of the eastern captives, is accurate in his judgment of the direction of Cangnan.

Lin Jian may be far from being qualified to play against Yezier, the king of the Eastern Khan, but Yezier's tactical intentions against Cangnan must also be carried out through the captives he sent, and Lin Jian is confident that he will tease the captives below Yezier.

*************

The sentinels on the periphery of Xiaobotou Village all shrank to the vicinity of the wall, which provided excellent conditions for the third and fifth battalions to sneak in. Ning Zechen led the fifth battalion to attack from the south, and Lin Lian, surrounded by dozens of guards, rushed to the fifth battalion to prepare to advance to the position to see the fifth battalion's preparations for attack.

Ning Zechen was gathering the sentry officers, sentry generals, commanders and flag leaders of the fifth battalion, and more than 20 people squatted in a low depression, surrounding a dim small oil lamp to make tactical arrangements before the attack.

Lin Jian walked over surrounded by guards, and Ning Zechen and the generals greeted him and said, "Please give me instructions......

"I'm just here to watch the battle, I didn't bring my mouth over, I don't interfere with your command, and you don't have to have a psychological burden." Lin Jian said with a smile, found a mound on the side, swept away a pinch of snow, sat down, and asked Ning Zechen and everyone to continue to discuss.

Lin Lian urged the grassroots military attachés of the Fifth Battalion of the Jiangdong Left Army to conduct serious tactical discussions, mobilization, and post-war experience summing up before and after marching, training, and operations, and urged the generals of all battalions to fulfill their demands to the letter. In addition to avoiding unnecessary attrition and losses as much as possible, it is also necessary to quickly train military attachés at the grassroots level in this way and form a complete and reliable command system.

In addition, in this way, the military attaches at the grass-roots level can fully communicate and contact with each other, and the collective life of full exchanges can make them understand each other better and trust each other, and help the middle and low-level military attaches of the entire Jiangdong Left Army form a more cohesive group.

This reason is actually very simple, that is, the Shiwenchen system takes the township party and the same year (the same period as the person or jinshi) as the friend party, and supports each other in the officialdom and advances and retreats together.

Lin Jian has the experience of studying in schools, military academies, and joining the army in later generations, and knows the importance of collective life. Using all means to promote collective life, cultivate a sense of teamwork, and severely suppress the emergence of hometownism and petty collectivism is of the utmost importance to strengthening internal cohesion and greatly enhancing the combat capability of the armed forces.

If there are no such technical means, in order to train the best middle and low-level military attachés, long-term war training and brutal elimination are the only means, and strict requirements will naturally be put forward for the main generals.

The elite of Eastern Fujian led by Li Zhuo has a large number of middle and low-level military attachés with qualified tactical literacy, which is trained and cultivated in this way, which can be called a strong army in the world. The cost and price are the ten-year war between East Fujian, in which both sides paid hundreds of thousands of casualties and tens of millions of taels of silver, and completely crippled the central and northwest parts of East Fujian, the southeast of Jiangxi, and the southern part of Zhejiang.

How could Lin Jian have the cost and time to train such a large number of qualified military attachés? The cost of raising and cultivating through war is staggering, and the middle and low-level military attaches trained will naturally have various defects in their tactical cultivation due to the factor of the commander-in-chief.

What Lin Jian can do is to integrate the military ideas and methods of later generations with the practice of governing the army in the current world. It's just a pity that he can't directly open a military attache school, although it will be more convenient, but if he really does, it will undoubtedly declare secession or rebellion.

With Li Zhuo's personal outstanding talent and prestige, if all the elites of Eastern Fujian were in his hands, with the strength of the Eastern Fujian army, he should be able to quickly drive out the Eastern cavalry that broke through the border and entered the Koukou.

It is embarrassing that the elite of Eastern Fujian has long been torn apart in the party struggle in the center, that is, Li Zhuo himself will be confined to Jiangning, and the Eastern Fujian army is no longer a complete and powerful whole.

*************

The tactics developed by Ning Zechen were simple but effective.

Silent until dawn, more than ten cavalry took advantage of the cover of the dark night to gallop straight from the left flank of the starting position to the south gate of Xiaobotou Village. The cavalry sentry post under the wall could not see the clothes and armor of the comer clearly in the dim moonlight, and only regarded it as the messenger cavalry from the south, although they got up and looked around, but did not pay enough attention. It wasn't until a hundred paces closer that he saw that the dozen riders had no intention of slowing down, so he shouted and questioned in barbarian language.

More than a dozen riders are all strong, the speed of the horse increases the fastest, and the impact of more than 100 steps is only a few blinks of an eye. The cavalry sentry post only had time to blow the whistle, but it was too late to take the bow and pull the string, the two groups of five people in a group of two groups of Nanzhai gate sentry posts to the dozen horsemen to swing the knife and trample over, the horse's hooves stepped on the campfire, kicked the sparks in all directions, a group of captives guarding the gate hesitated whether to close the gate to block the dozens of enemy cavalry or rush out to kill the retreat cavalry, a dozen healthy cavalry rushed in to break it down, and captured the gate of the village.

When the whistle was blown at the cavalry sentry post, the cavalry of the Sandu Brigade in the starting position of the fifth battalion quickly rode out and galloped to the front of the gate at the fastest speed. The cavalry of the first team dismounted and joined the dozen Jianrui who were the first to seize the gate, and firmly controlled the Zhaimen area. The cavalry of the first army scattered to pursue the cavalry outposts on the periphery of the wall. Taking advantage of the confusion of the captives, the cavalry of the First Brigade quickly passed through the gate of the village and penetrated directly in the direction of the threshing floor in the center of the stockade, killing and wounding the chaotic enemy as much as possible. Considering that most of the veterans with strong individual quality of captives and cavalry, after the enemy defending the village can organize an orderly counterattack, the cavalry that rushed through the cavalry quickly returned to Nanzhai Gate to induce the captives to seize Nanzhai Gate, and used a strict and well-equipped armor formation to kill and injure the captives and cavalry as much as possible in the relatively open Nanzhai Gate area to avoid more difficult street battles in the future.

After Ning Zechen was firmly under control of Nanzhai Gate, he led the main force of the Fifth Battalion, a total of seven capital troops, to hold 16 flying vehicles, and pounced on Nanzhai Gate from the starting position.

Due to the inability to achieve absolute synchronization between the north and south sides, and previously confirmed that Ning Zechen would lead the attack, when the south gate whistle sounded, Zhou Pu led his troops to seize the north gate again, and closed the gate in time for the guards and cavalry, and only had time to eliminate the sentry post outside the north gate.

Zhou Pu directly blocked the Beizhai Gate with an iron nail plate, an iron thistle, a flying contradictory car and an array of Sandu team guards to prevent the captives from suddenly rushing out of the gate with superior cavalry; The main force of the 3rd Battalion looked for openings from elsewhere.

The wall of Xiaobotou Village was originally thin, and the Jiangdong Left Army abandoned the village to go to sea, and had already done some tricks and feet on the foundation of the wall in some places that were not conducive to the departure of the cavalry.
