Chapter 070 Lure the enemy to move north
While Sun Xiaogang attacked the Tang soldiers escorting Wei Kangshun, Liang Haiming also used another Sky Eye to attack the Tang soldiers stationed in northern Wuzhou.
However, Liang Haiming's attack method was different from that of Sun Xiaogang. According to Cui Jianfeng's request, Liang Haiming first hired more than a dozen temporarily hired knights led by Zhu Guangcai to ride horses and swagger through the side of the Tang Army's cavalry patrol, attracting the Tang Army's cavalry to turn around.
Ma Tou wanted to go and inquire. As a result, as soon as the Tang soldiers entered the archery range of Zhu Guangcai's cavalry, they used a pre-made special repeating gun crossbow (also known as Zhuge crossbow, one crossbow with ten arrows, range: iron arrow 50 meters), because
Just to lure the enemy, they used ordinary arrows (range: 120 meters) and sniped from more than a hundred meters away. Such multiple raids resulted in a large number of Tang Army soldiers being slightly injured.
The result? The generals of the Tang army were furious and immediately mobilized a large number of cavalry from all over Wuzhou to pursue Zhu Guangcai's more than ten knights. They chased and shot arrows on the vast Jianghuai plain, which was very lively.
Liang Haiming used high altitude to monitor these various cavalrymen who were chasing each other. According to Cui Jianfeng's request, the Tang soldiers and Zhu Guangcai's cavalry were always kept at a distance of nearly 100 meters. Once the Tang soldiers broke through the 60-meter distance, he would use
The weak gear of the laser gun knocked down the Tang soldiers who were running at the front, causing huge psychological pressure on the Tang soldiers who followed.
Why did Liang Haiming do this? This was mainly because Cui Jianfeng was a war-tested general. He asked Liang Haiming to monitor various people from the air, and kept more than 60 people between Zhu Guangcai and others who were running ahead and the Tang soldiers chasing behind.
The purpose of the distance was to prevent Tang soldiers from injuring their own men and horses with arrows.
The news of the discovery of the criminal in the north of Wuzhou soon reached Fan Zhendong, the general of Guide (third rank) who was in Jinhua through the Tang army. He originally thought that only the Tang soldiers on the line from Suzhou to Jiangzhou would be mobilized to prevent the rebellion in the Wuzhou area.
It's enough to demean the gods. Unexpectedly, the chaotic cavalry that appeared in the north of Wuzhou first led the officers and soldiers around in the north of Wuzhou for several days, causing the officers and soldiers to fall off their horses and injured more than 40 people. It was so slow.
Slowly moving north, but still unable to catch these troublemakers.
This also angered Fan Zhendong, who finally determined that the territory of these troublemakers was not in Wuzhou, but on Huainan Road. Because the place where the horse team escorting the criminals was robbed happened to be in the middle of Huainan Road.
In this way, he immediately ordered all the Tang soldiers originally transferred to the Wuzhou area to go north, concentrate on the areas where the troublemakers were active, and quickly capture and bring to justice the more than ten troublemakers who were playing hide and seek with the officers and soldiers.
But when a large number of Tang soldiers gathered in the area where more than a dozen elusive cavalry were active, all the Tang soldiers stationed in the original Wuzhou area transferred by Fan Zhendong were brought into the boundaries of Huainan Road.
At this time, the number of injured Tang soldiers also increased to more than 200. Although most of them were slightly injured, these had a huge negative impact on the psychology of the soldiers.
"Why do these gangsters keep wandering around Huainan Road? Although our cavalry often sees them, they can never get close. As soon as they approach more than 70 steps, they inexplicably fall off their horses and get injured." Huang Yuanxing explained the strange phenomenon that occurred during actual combat.
He described it to Fan Zhendong: "These officers and soldiers who fell from their horses had no arrow wounds on their bodies. Most of them just fell from their horses and were not seriously injured."
"That's strange. Should we stop pursuing and return to Wuzhou? Because Huainan Road is not our defense area." Fan Zhendong said thoughtfully. At this time, he also felt that he should withdraw from the war zone as soon as possible and let the Ministry of War take control of it.
This matter was transferred to the Zhechongfu soldiers from Huainan Road to pursue and suppress them.
"But these bandits were discovered and fought by us in the Wuzhou area. Before we caught them, the Ministry of War handed over the bandits they discovered and were chasing to troops who were unfamiliar with the situation, which may not be within the scope of their jurisdiction." Huang Yuanxing looked embarrassed:
"The Ministry of War may not agree, and the generals of Huainan Road Zhechong Prefecture may not be willing to take over, because these bandits came from Wuzhou. Will Huainan Road Zhechong Prefecture accept outside bandits as bandit troubles in the area under its jurisdiction? Where in the world?
Are there any fools who take other people’s mistakes and blame them on themselves?”
"What you said makes sense." Fan Zhendong sighed helplessly: "What do you think we should do with this group of gangsters?"
"Can we report to the Ministry of War to exaggerate the power of these bandits, increase our losses, and expand the bandit's activity area?" Huang Yuanxing said with a knowing wink and a smile.
"What will the Minister of War think if you do this?" Fan Zhendong did not laugh, but showed a lack of confidence in this.
"It doesn't matter what he thinks. Just let him have the illusion that the banditry is huge and the scope is very wide." Huang Yuanxing said with a mysterious smile.
"I know you have many tricks up your sleeve, but it's unlikely that those Zhechong mansions on Huainan Road will take us out of this kind of trouble."
"Yes, we want to get away as soon as possible, and they will not take over easily. Therefore, we should not rush to withdraw. We should pretend that we are unable to deal with these bandits unilaterally and ask the Minister of War to send someone to inspect our battlefield.
Huang Yuanxing said with great interest.
"Our losses are not big, they are all minor injuries. Even if the Minister of War sent someone to see them, they would not believe our words." Fan Zhendong shook his head, expressing little hope.
"I mean, why don't we just pretend?"
"What outfit?"
"Find all the soldiers who were slightly injured, explain the reasons, and let them play the role of being seriously injured. Just apply red potion on their injured areas and wrap them with cloth strips to pretend to be seriously injured."
"You have a lot of clever ideas." Fan Zhendong laughed dumbly. But he also felt that this was not a bad idea. He pretended to be unilateral and tried to find a way to get everyone in Huainan Road to send troops to reinforce. After a while, they would get deeper and deeper into trouble.
The deeper we go, the more wounded we will report, and we will gradually withdraw all combatants as wounded.
"This is the only thing we can do. It's not worth it to evacuate the battlefield quickly and lose troops and generals on other people's territory." Huang Yuanxing said.
"Okay, okay." Fan Zhendong smiled: "Go and prepare immediately, gather the injured cavalry, and invite some pharmacists (the name of doctors in the Tang Dynasty, originally medicine doctors, later called pharmacists. And the doctor and the doctor
The title of doctor began in the Song Dynasty) Build a battlefield hospital (the hospital was called a hospital in the Tang Dynasty), dress the injured personnel as if they were seriously injured, regardless of the severity of the injury. Then ask the Minister of War to send someone to inspect it. "
"Isn't this okay?" Fan Zhendong's personal captain, who was standing aside, shook his head and said worriedly: "What if the Minister of War sends a pharmacist to help treat the injury, wouldn't it be exposed?"
"Oh." Huang Yuanxing nodded and thought for a while before saying, "You mentioned it very well. I almost forgot about it."
"What should I do?" Fan Zhendong felt that doing so was risky. If the Minister of War reported it to the emperor, he would be dismissed from his post and exiled.
"I have my own solution, you don't have to worry." Huang Yuanxing smiled knowingly.
"You have to tell me the specific plan first, otherwise I don't dare to write a random letter to the Minister of War. This is no joke." Fan Zhendong slapped Huang Yuanxing several times not long ago because Huang Yuanxing shot and injured Cui Jianfeng. Regarding this, he
I felt very guilty afterwards.
In Fan Zhendong's view, Huang Yuanxing was his resourceful military advisor. Although he had a low official rank, many difficult things had to be solved thanks to him finding ways to solve them.
"This." Huang Yuanxing looked at the captain and hesitated to speak.
"You guys go out for a moment." Fan Zhendong saw what Huang Yuanxing meant, turned around and waved to the people standing in his inspection room.
"You tell me." After the entourage exited, Fan Zhendong winked at Huang Yuanxing.
"I want to screen out some of the seriously injured people in our various prefectures, and then find some of the seriously injured people in the local area who need medical treatment to come to our field hospital, and then bring the inspectors sent by the Ministry of War to see them."
"High, high." Fan Zhendong smiled and raised his thumb: "You still have more clever ideas."
"There is no other way." Huang Yuanxing did not laugh: "Think about it, is it okay for us to fight on other people's territory for a long time?"
"Of course not." Fan Zhendong said: "You are not familiar with the place, and suffering losses for other people's territory is a fool's errand."
"Things are not that simple." Huang Yuanxing shook his head.
"That's right. Anyway, we can't let this matter drag on like this."
"That's not what I mean." Huang Yuanxing shook his head again: "What I'm worried about is that if we continue to fight like this in this area, the generals in Zhechong Mansion will have wrong ideas and put forward various demands to us.
We make extra money out of ourselves. If we don't agree, they will falsely accuse us. In this way, aren't we asking for trouble?"
"You still have foresight, why didn't I think of it?" Fan Zhendong nodded excitedly: "You go and make preparations first, I will write a letter to the Minister of War immediately."
"Okay." Huang Yuanxing looked serious. He knew that he was fighting on someone else's territory. Under the circumstances at that time, the risks were very high.
"Brother." Fan Zhendong looked at Huang Yuanxing affectionately: "After the matter is completed, I will find a way to improve your official rank."
