"What you need to do is to ambush in the jujube trees on the slopes on both sides. You can only get as close to the horse road as possible. In addition to informing the enemy of the speed and distance of reinforcements at any time, you also need to cut down some branches and forks to wait for the enemy's cavalry to reinforce from both sides.
When approaching, they would drag branches in the forest to create noise, as a strategy to suspect the enemy, to delay the approaching speed of the enemy cavalry as much as possible, and to buy more time for the attacking troops and horses to retreat."
Xu Huai took Ling Jian, Han Wende and other generals to the dense forest near Qingquangou to explain the combat tasks undertaken by each department.
"When most of the troops have withdrawn from the enemy camp, you will lead your troops to retreat diagonally into the long ditch in front of the enemy camp, pretending to be an ambush. Remember, you must not break up and flee, which will disrupt the morale of the army. If this does not work,
Do it, wave the big stick of military law, and don't complain that no one will show mercy to you. And the troops who have withdrawn from the enemy camp will form a formation on the south side of the long ditch to meet you. You don't have to worry about being left alone at the end.
A careful plan and a staggered retreat of the various ministries to the south will prevent the soldiers from hastily figuring out our true and false positions, and everyone will be able to stabilize their position, and there will not be too many casualties..."
In this surprise attack, in addition to using five hundred Tongbai Mountain soldiers as the main force, Xu Huai also sent Ling Jian, Han Wende, Yu Gong, Yu Zheng, Zhou Shu, and Chen Jin each to select fifty elite troops, Deng Gui, and Yang Qiye each.
Select one hundred elite members to participate.
Zheng Huaizhong was in Gong County. Due to the truce in heavy fog, he did not move Cao Shili and his elite guards away from the mountains. Xu Huai prepared to launch a strong attack on the enemy camp in Qingquangou, but not everyone in the strong attack was willing to attack them.
In addition to delaying enemy reinforcements and detecting suspicious soldiers on the flanks, arrangements must be made in advance to coordinate troops and horses in the long ditch on the south side of the enemy camp to prevent a failed attack and prevent the captive soldiers from biting their tails when everyone flees south.
To kill at the last moment; before advancing into the enemy's camp and entering the enemy's camp to create chaos and expand the results of the battle, the troops must also be well-organized and supported, and must have a strategy to attack the east and the west.
There was no time to do any drills. Except that Yang Qiye, Ling Jian, Han Wende, Yu Gong, Yu Zheng, Zhou Shu, Chen Jin and other troops were actually cooperating with Tongbai Mountain soldiers for the first time in the field, even if Deng Gui and Xu Huai, Xu
Wujiang and Tangpan are familiar with each other, but their troops are the so-called "elite" troops of the Xiangyang Prefecture. It is not known how well they can fight. The troops and horses led by Yang Qiye were trained a lot by Yang Lin, but they were better than
Ordinary Imperial Guards are a bit stronger.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time before the heavy fog dissipated, Xu Huai led everyone to the nearby areas and explained the battle plan in detail based on the terrain on the left and right.
Looking down the east slope from the woods where they were standing, the enemy camp in Qingquangou was located halfway up the slope.
Tens of thousands of people live together in groups north of Songshan Mountain, forming hundreds of villages of various sizes.
In order to save farmland and protect themselves from floods during the flood season, most of these villages were built on undulating slopes, making the terrain somewhat difficult to defend and difficult to attack.
However, Dai Viet has been at peace for many years, and it is adjacent to the imperial mausoleum. In addition to the strict state and county governance, the mausoleum guarding army still has a deterrent effect on ordinary bandits. Objectively speaking, the villages in the north of Songshan have no urgent need to build high walls and strongholds.
In addition, these villages are adjacent to the only way for officials to lead their clan descendants to visit the mausoleum. The government also restricted the clan from building large docks between Hulao and Gong County to prevent people with evil intentions from using it to cause trouble.
Qingquangou Village is about ten miles away from Gong County. It is also built on the hillside. It is a large village where thousands of people live together. To the north of it is the official road from Hulao Pass to Gong County.
After the attack, the main direction of the Red Husband Cavalry reinforcements.
Since there are other enemy camps four or five miles to the left and right, if they do not set up suspicious troops in the woods on the slopes on both wings, the enemy cavalry on both wings may only need one or two sticks of incense to go from gathering to Qingquan Gouzhai after hearing the news.
.
And this little time is probably not enough for them to break into the enemy camp, let alone cause chaos, kill, and injure.
A large number of enemy soldiers increased the victory.
Of course, after the attack was launched, the soldiers in the northern part of Gong County might misunderstand that this was a conspiracy to attack the east and west, and chose to stay put. Xu Huai directly arranged for Zhou to report, and Yu Gong and his two men led their elite troops to ambush in the dense forest on the slope hillock on the east side.
In the middle, as a suspicious soldier, the main purpose is to delay the reinforcement speed of the enemy cavalry on the east flank.
There is a village gate in the north and south of Qingquangou Village, which is connected to the official road in the north. There is a ramp on the south side leading south to the northern slope of Songshan Mountain. Several fork roads are also branched into the bottom of the ditch, so that villagers can usually cultivate the ditch dam fields or go into the mountain to collect.
Mountain products, felling firewood.
After the fall of Qingquangou Village, all the young and strong villagers were driven to the north of Gong County to build forts, trench walls and other fortifications. The less beautiful women were used as camp prostitutes for the soldiers to vent their anger, and other women, children, old and weak were driven into hard labor.
Among the prisoners captured by Xu Huai and others were the prisoners of Qingquangou Village, and they had already understood the terrain inside and outside the village and the layout of the houses.
However, Cao Shili failed to attack Gong County for several days and suffered heavy casualties. He retreated to Qingquangou Village to rest and replenish his troops. However, considering that the north and south gates of the village were still heavily fortified, even if he wanted to attack by force, he would not have enough time. Deng Gui decided to
, Yang Qiye and his two men led their troops to pretend to attack the north and south gates of the village.
The real focus of the attack on the stronghold was the west side wall of Qingquangou.
…………
…………
The wall on the west side of Qingquangou Village is an earthen wall.
When the earthen wall was built, it was more than a foot high and was sufficiently thick. However, over time, a large amount of soil washed away with the rain and accumulated layer by layer at the foot of the wall, leaving only four or five feet high on the outside of the earthen wall.
There are several war tents built with bamboo and covered with thatch on the wall of the village. During the hour, several patrols are making jokes under the war tents and bragging about the past. There are only piles of embers from the bonfires that keep watch, and the war tents are not covered.
The cold morning wind blew on my face, making it feel cold.
The morning fog is getting thinner, but there is still white mist rolling around the edges of the woods.
"The little girls from the Gu family are very pretty. According to the rules, they are to be presented to the royal court. It is said that they have been sent to the Fangouling camp. But the third prince said that we had made great achievements in attacking Zhengzhou but failed to plunder a lot. We attacked Gong County and suffered heavy losses.
After suffering a big loss, he specially rewarded the little girl from the Gu family to our second general. This little girl didn't want to think about our second general's wife. All the concubines were killed by Chu Shanhu, and there was no one who was considerate around her. If she
If I serve Xiaoyi like this and give birth to one or two young masters, I might as well get a royal title from the royal court, but I don’t want her to secretly hide a pair of scissors and assassinate the second general when he’s not prepared..."
"How is the second general? Is he injured?"
"Who is our second general? How could he hurt a helpless woman? However, this is not the point. Don't interrupt. The point is that the second general was angry and pulled all the serving ladies.
I went out and beheaded me, and then I made that little bitch miserable all night long, and then I threw her into the brothel for my brothers to enjoy together. I just thought, don’t let the little bitches of the Gu family be crippled when it’s our brothers’ turn!”
"The second general is marching thousands of households, and there are more than a dozen generals of hundreds of households below. The generals of hundreds of households have played it once, and the captain of ten, the flag head, has played it again to try it out. It's your turn to be the black old charcoal head, and you will get the year of the donkey.
Go Ma Yue? When playing with women, you don’t have to pick young ones. You have to pick those MILFs. Not only can they not struggle, resist, and play with sex, they can also push their own butts and have enough sex..."
An old soldier recalled that he had followed Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili brothers in their expeditions in the north and south over the years. He was lucky enough to play with several women who had endless aftertaste, and his saliva flowed.
"If a woman doesn't struggle, what else is there to do with her head? Isn't she just lying on the ground like a corpse?"
"Ahem, you idiot, have you never played with a woman seriously?" After the old man wanted to arouse the interest of the others, especially the new recruits, he would tell them in detail about mature women.
The wonderful thing was that at this time, low horns were blowing from the north and south gates of the village. He stood up in panic and looked over.
Although he was far away from the north and south village gates, he could still see the figures of people in the billowing fog.
Crossing each other, I don’t know how many people are attacking towards the north and south gates of the village.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, cheer up! Put up the shield, cock the crossbow. Where the hell are you going? Don't worry about us over there, be careful in the mountains..." The old soldier even asked for the sword with its scabbard.
I went to slap the balls of two panicked recruits. I heard an unusual sharp sound from the howling wind. I subconsciously turned my head and saw that a sharp arrow was coming towards the door. I opened my mouth slightly and the arrow cluster was shot at the right time.
It entered his mouth, but he felt a chill on the back of his head: I am going to suffer now, my mouth will be shot!
"Swish, swish..." Dozens of sharp arrows followed closely, hitting the patrolmen on the wall.
The old soldiers of the Han army in Lanzhou not only ducked down and hid behind the protective wall at the first time, but also knew how to pick up the sword contradiction cards piled aside; most of the newly recruited soldiers were mainly captured from Zhengzhou and other cities and forcibly recruited.
The captured soldiers who came over hid in panic behind the protective wall, not daring to move. Then they heard the sound of washing outside the wall, and an unknown number of men and horses came out of the forest on the mountain.
Someone looked up to see, often three or five sharp arrows were shooting at each other. After a while, they saw silhouettes of people jumping up the earth wall, and a voice like thunder roared in their ears: "If you don't want to die, throw down your sword and bow and let me lie down."
It’s solid!”
"Plop", the sharp blade was swung through the air, and the dull sound of the thorn cutting into the flesh was so clear in the ears.
Before the dozens of defenders on the wall could counterattack, Wu Chihai and Tang Pan each led a team of elite soldiers to attack the wall from both sides and quickly clear out the remaining soldiers on the wall.
The houses on the side of the west village wall overlapped, making it difficult to rush directly into the village. However, Tang Pan and Wu Chihai were responsible for controlling the earth wall immediately, placing strong bows and crossbows on the wall to suppress the enemy's awakening.
The subsequent counterattack.
They are also responsible for setting fires from the southwest and northwest corners of Qingquan Gouzhai.
Xu Huai personally used his best troops to attack the middle section of the Xizhai wall.
Although an enemy soldier was already lying on the ground, he still held a simple knife in his hand.
Before Xu Huai could take action, Niu Er picked up his heavy shield and struck the enemy soldier with his head first.
The one-inch iron-clad shield directly smashed the enemy soldier's head in half, causing red and white objects to fly.
"You bastard, you can't be gentler! You think this is a melon from your own field. If you don't like it, smash it to pieces!" Guo Junpan just jumped up from Xu Huai's side, and his face was splashed with this.
The red and white thing was so angry that he cursed at Niu Er.
"But the military prince didn't give me a long knife, so I could only use this shield to kill these dogs. How can I know the severity?" Niu Er complained.
Xu Huai ignored the two of them and looked towards the alleyway under the wall that led directly to the ancestral hall.
It is flanked by earthen brick walls on both sides, and the lane is only about one foot wide.
If the enemy is on guard, pulling a few simple horsebacks across the alleyway will suppress their advance in, and give them plenty of time to continuously mobilize their troops and attack from all sides.
However, Cao Shili obviously believed that his troops would be quite safe after retreating to the triple fortification. Even if the Western reinforcements penetrated here, the focus of their defense would be outside the stronghold, not inside the stronghold.
Going down the alleyway until you reach the ancestral hall, there is no obstruction.
Qingquan Gou Village was built on a half-slope, and the terrain was of course not flat. Overall, it was high in the west and low in the east. Xu Huai and the others rushed in from the west wall, and they also had a commanding view of the situation inside Qingquan Gou Village.
Although there were no defensive arrangements in the village, it was already past midnight. Cao Shili was not sure whether Zheng Huaizhong would rest all day and not attack the fortress in the north of Gong County. He still assembled a group of soldiers and horses at the Beizhai Gate on standby, waiting at any time.
Rushing for reinforcements, Cao Shili noticed that the wall of the west village was quickly breached. In addition to the rebels in the barracks who were gathering in a hurry, they also immediately dispatched many troops from all over the village to block the wall in the alleyway...
