To say that Wen Yanbo did not expect that the guard camp would be attacked at night is to underestimate Wen Yanbo. To say that Wen Yanbo cared about the night attack on the guard camp is to say that Wen Yanbo had high regard for the guard camp.
Unexpectedly, the guard camp actually attacked the camp, causing nearly 20% of the imperial army's damage... that is, nearly three to four thousand people were dyed.
How can this be?
When the Soushan Forbidden Army camps, it is true that they camp in units of one battalion, but the distance between each battalion will never exceed one mile. In other words, when there is a noise in a certain camp, within a moment, there will be three or five people around it.
The battalion can quickly move closer to form a situation where the numbers are comparable, thus gaining time for other forbidden troops to arrive...
Wen Yanbo suppressed his surprise, still chewed his food slowly, and gargled his mouth slowly... This is a serious show of pretense.
"To tell the truth..."
Have you seen it? This is the magnanimity of our gentlemen.
Su Xun and Su Mingyun said: Taishan collapsed in front but its color remained unchanged, and the elk rose to the left but its eyes did not blink. This is the description of Wen Xianggong's behavior.
"Your Majesty, since last night, the guard battalion has made sneak attacks on three camps in the direction of Xingyang, Gongxian and Yuzhou. When they finally fled to the top of the mountain, they attacked the trace search team again."
"The guard battalion is divided?"
"I report to your Majesty that the escort battalion has not been divided into separate troops. Several sneak attacks were carried out by the entire team..."
This... okay, it's a twenty-mile radius, and it's okay to just attack randomly. The question is, isn't there an encirclement at one point?
What next? Wen Yanbo didn’t ask any questions and waited for someone to continue...
"In the end, the escort battalion was defeated by the trace search team and fled in all directions... It is currently known that seventeen people in the escort battalion were injured."
Two thousand people fled after the sneak attack. Although they didn't spread all over the mountains and plains, there should be traces.
There is no way, I really can't think of any way. Apart from this kind of encirclement and suppression, this kind of hide-and-seek game, Wen Yanbo really has no good way.
If two thousand people were thrown into such a big mountain, they would have to form a whole team. If they were scattered, there would be no way to search.
The mountain is not high, but the forest is dense. You can climb any tree, lie down in a hole, or hide in it.
Now...now even if the escort battalion no longer makes sneak attacks, the victory is already determined after two days of hard work.
"Bring the wounded to the escort camp...and continue the search according to the established plan."
After being stunned for a moment, Wen Yanbo racked his brains, but apart from this comprehensive search method, there was no other available strategy.
If we conduct a centralized investigation, it is very likely that the escort battalion will take advantage of the opportunity to escape from the encirclement.
Fortunately, with today's advancement and compression, by tonight, even if they set up camp, they will almost be able to connect and echo each other.
…
"Reporting to your Majesty, according to the court's exercise documents, the young one is now dead..."
Before Wen Yanbo could ask, the soldier, who was wearing a uniform similar to the color of the grass, reported directly, which directly blocked Wen Yanbo's question.
Uh... Wen Yanbo couldn't ask any more questions after all. Intimidation and inducement? Forget it, Fu Yanguo came to see the excitement, and he would not add to the excitement.
Wen Yanbo waved his hand...
There was nothing to say for a day. There was really nothing to say. The guard camp was sleeping in the Forbidden Army camp, and the Forbidden Army was searching the mountains and fields for the guard camp. Everyone was doing their own thing, and no one was in the way of anyone else.
The only ones who had something to say were the people in the court who heard the news. This time, the report from the Imperial City Division did not avoid the court minister.
Pang Ji listened to the report and slid his fingers back and forth on the improvised map of Wanyin Mountain... It must be said that this attack by the East Palace Guard Battalion truly demonstrated the speed of soldiers and their ability to win by surprise.
And Wen Kuanfu... Well, I am afraid that he will be embarrassed and lose his fortune during this exercise after encountering such a monster as His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Where is the guard camp now?"
"Your Majesty, you should rest in the Forbidden Army camp."
"Camp?"
"When the Forbidden Army gathered, they set up a temporary camp and it was not dismantled when they entered the mountain. The guard camp brought its own bedding. Yesterday, they broke out of the encirclement and rested in the camp."
At this time, Pang Ji also remembered that when he was recruiting soldiers, the guard camp had demonstrated the tofu-like bedding...
Just thinking about it again, His Highness the Crown Prince's tactics are only suitable for a small number of troops to travel. If it is a large army fighting... However, His Highness the Crown Prince's strategies displayed during the period are first-rate.
His Royal Highness's behavior only proved that he could escape unscathed in Guangnan.
Pang Ji thought about it this way, so he wasn't too surprised... Zhao Xi would definitely slap him in the face if he knew about this idea.
As for Zhao Zhen, listening to the report and looking at Pang Ji's hand sliding back and forth, he really didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
As a father, he should be happy that his son has such a wonderful display. But when he thinks about Xi'er going on an expedition to Guangnan in a few days, he can't help but worry.
As for the outcome of this exercise, it should be as Xianggong Pang said: Even if the guard camp hides like this at this time, it will not affect the result.
Zhao Xi did not give up. He said that if the Forbidden Army lost 50% of the battle, he would win, so he had to try his best to lose 50% of the Forbidden Army.
So, when the second night came, another attack began.
"Tonight, the entire regiment will disperse and attack. You can form a team or act alone. However, you must enter the encirclement and attack silently from within. You must not disturb them. You are not completely sure. You would rather return without success than be exposed."
"Survival is the first necessity, and avoiding battle damage is the core purpose of the escort battalion now. Now, even if it lasts two days, the escort battalion is in an invincible position. Don't be greedy for credit and risk too much damage."
"The four leaders will not participate in the attack tonight. They need to rush to the top of the mountain as quickly as possible and create a disturbance in the Forbidden Army camp encountered yesterday... As for whether they can attack or kill, it depends on their own abilities. Everyone must sneak out at the end of the ugly hour.
Encirclement. Action!”
The battle plan must be changed, tonight will never be as easy as last night.
If Wen Yanbo didn't prepare for the team's night attack, he really wouldn't be qualified as a Privy Councilor.
Zhao Xi didn't want to pin the victory or defeat on the opponent's mental weakness or negligence. Therefore, he decided to divide his forces and play the kind of battle that spreads everywhere and starts a prairie fire.
Any tactic can be scaled up or down.
If Wanyin Mountain is regarded as a territory, last night was a large army operation, and tonight it was a guerrilla tactic.
Therefore, in every camp of the Forbidden Army, behind the top of the mountain where the sentinels looked, there were Forbidden Army soldiers whose mouths and noses were held down and dragged away from the grass.
The so-called camp at this time means that everyone is gathered around, leaning against tree trunks casually, or simply lying on the spot... I have been tired for almost two days, and I really can't bear it anymore. No matter what the posture is, as long as I stop my legs and feet
, I can fall asleep casually.
Wen Yanbo had planned to wait for work in leisure before the exercise. After one day and one night, the fatigue and ease were directly replaced.
The Forbidden Army, the entire Forbidden Army, is now a tired force, but the guard camp, unexpectedly, rests in the Forbidden Army's temporary camp every day, sleeping day and night to do some leisurely work.
