One thousand one hundred and eighty-one: kill you with a carbine
"How many casualties?" Liu Yuan stood by the stream, scooped up water with his helmet, and poured it on his armor. Suddenly, the red blood flowed out. After splashing it more than a dozen times, the blood finally faded. Then he squatted to the edge of the armor, wiped it with a piece of wiping it hard.
"There are two hundred and twelve brothers who did not follow!" Guerrilla General Cai Kaiming said sadly. "The minor injuries have been counted, and there are three hundred and six, but none of them are serious. The doctor has simply dealt with them and can basically continue to fight."
Liu Yuan nodded, and not following up, it naturally means that he had sacrificed. In fact, after the battle, he marched at such a high intensity for a whole day. It was impossible for the seriously injured brother to persevere.
After wiped the armor clean, Liu Yuan stood up and said, "Tell brothers, make fire and cook. Save some dry food, don't eat it first. The injured mules and horses in the team will be slaughtered first."
Cai Kaiming was surprised: "General Liu, this is inappropriate. It has been more than half a day. Although the scout has not yet received any reward, the enemy's cavalry should have been not far from us. As soon as the fire and smoke come, our position will be exposed."
Liu Yuan burst into laughter: "If you don't make a fire, will the other party not know your location? Let's eat and drink first. In such a weather, it's good to let the brothers roast the fire and warm their bodies."
Cai Kaiming blinked for a while before saying, "General Liu, what are your plans?"
"Look, such a large forest, if you were a cavalry general, would you come in rashly?" Liu Yuan asked.
Cai Kaiming shook his head: "No. If the cavalry enters the forest, there will be no advantage."
"Yes, so will the enemy's cavalry come in? Unless the team leads a super fool." Liu Yuan said.
"But so blatant..." Cai Kaiming was still hesitant and difficult to decide.
Liu Yuan put on his armor and said, "I guess the enemy will be very smart. They will definitely not enter the forest, but will take a long way to go ahead of us. Then wait for the infantry behind to come up, and then use infantry to push us out of the forest, and then they will wait outside the forest to clean up."
"This is a regular way of playing." Cai Kaiming nodded.
"Look, if you don't want to enter the forest, you have to bypass the mountain in front of you. After going around, they will probably be ahead of us tomorrow morning to block us."
"That's going to block us here!" Cai Kaiming spread his hands: "Wei Dongsheng's army has not suffered much loss. Now I'm afraid that the army is being rectified and will definitely come to chase us again after revitalizing the situation."
"Yes!" Liu Yuan said: "So, I'm going to go back and knock him hard."
"Look back?" Cai Kaiming immediately became petrified.
"Brother, our battle this time is not for us to break through the siege, but for us to attract more enemies to our side." Liu Yuan said: "If we don't damage the enemy a few times, how can we attract more enemies?"
"How do you fight?"
"As you said, Wei Dongsheng's troops are now reorganizing, and morale recovery will take time. Tonight, I will bring half of the troops to kill one and the other." Liu Yuan said: "You bring half of the troops and stay in this forest, waiting for the cavalry to break in."
"Didn't you say they won't go into the forest?" Cai Kaiming was stunned.
"Originally, I won't go in at first." Liu Yuan laughed, "But when Wei Dongsheng was fucked hard, the enemy's cavalry naturally realized that we had no intention of going past. When they felt that they were deceived, they must be eager to go back and block us. At this time, they naturally had to pass through the forest. They must have never thought that half of them were left here to wait for him! Brother, are you familiar with the hunters' ways, right?"
"Half of the people went to knock on Wei Dongsheng's camp, are there too few people? Now that guy has at least seven or eight thousand people!"
"When fighting such a war, do you care about the number of people and fewer people? The key is to be unexpected." Liu Yuan said: "I just started the attack this morning, when we just started the attack, I found that many soldiers from the Wei army seemed to have poor eyes."
“I noticed it too.”
"Night blindness!" Liu Yuan said happily: "Over the years, our Tang army has not had this happen, so we have forgotten this trick. These Hunan troops are not as good as our Tang army, and they have sufficient nutrition. A considerable number of them have night blindness. It is the time to fuck them at night."
Cai Kaiming took a deep breath.
"General Liu, please leave the matter between Linzishi to me. If they dare to penetrate the forest, I will let them go without food."
"Now, make a fire and cook."
Widths of smoke rose from the forest, as conspicuous as they were. As soon as the Tang army's scout plunged into the forest, the cavalry of the brigade indeed appeared on the horizon.
About three thousand cavalry were led by Zhou Can, the general stationed in Xiangtan, stationed in Xiangtan, but stopped outside the forest.
Don’t enter the forest, this is an iron rule for cavalry combat.
Although there is a road inside such an old forest, it is extremely cramped. When the cavalry enters, they have no speed and cannot be expanded even if they have to be expanded. If they encounter an ambush from the enemy, it will be a delivery to the door.
Looking at the wisps of smoke from cooking, Zhou Can sneered.
"Such a clumsy plan also wants to lure me into the bait. Do you really think I am a three-year-old child?" Zhou Can looked back at the cavalry around him.
Everyone burst into laughter together.
"General Zhou, could it be that the other party is bluffing, and the weak is real, and the weak is real. Maybe they are really inside? Or maybe they have run away long ago, leaving only some people to scare us so that we dare not enter the forest?" Amid the burst of laughter, a general raised his own opinion.
"If they are really inside, we have no advantage at all." Zhou Can glanced at the other party and said, "Of course, maybe as you said, they have already run away, and there are only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals left inside."
"Do you want to send someone in to find out what is the truth?"
"Why?" Zhou Can shook his head and said, "No matter whether they are inside or not, we don't have to pay attention to it. It only takes half a day to bypass this area from here. A army that is already at a loss will allow them to live for half a day. So what if they leave the forest, after half a day, we will naturally find them and catch up with them. If they don't leave the forest, when Wei Dong is born, they will naturally force them out. Our precious cavalry is not used for such useless consumption."
After a few words, everyone nodded repeatedly.
Unlike the cavalry in the north that are equipped on a large scale, even infantry, riding horses is just a common thing. This is because the Tang Dynasty controlled the north, and strategic materials such as war horses that are difficult to obtain in the south are not uncommon in the north.
Cavalry is a luxury army. The southern governors trained a cavalry and equipped the cavalry with a full set of equipment, which cost a lot.
Therefore, in the south, cavalry always consciously have to be several taller than infantry.
Zhou Can's words made everyone deeply agree.
Everything was as Liu Yuan expected. The cavalry did not stay outside the forest for long, and then walked around the old forest and walked by himself.
In the forest, Cai Kaiming, who had climbed on the top of a big tree, admired Liu Yuan's plan.
In the old forest, half of the Tang soldiers ate and drank enough, and then slept comfortably beside the piles of fires. The other half, led by Cai Kaiming, was busy setting traps in the old forest.
When the night came to an end, Liu Yuan led half of the Tang army and set foot on the way he came again.
Wei Dongsheng was a bad guy.
No matter what, he never expected that an army that had escaped, a Tang army that was being chased by its own cavalry, would actually kill a retaliation and touch his door again.
After finally gathering up the scattered troops, cheering and rewarding, finally stabilizing the morale of the army. After a full meal, he was summoning all the generals to discuss how to regain their morale and how to catch up with the enemy and avenge their previous shame, the shouts of killing sounded again.
Because they didn't expect to meet the enemy again, and as soon as the sky was dawn, they would set off again to chase the Tang army. Therefore, the camp of this army was extremely terrible. Apart from some basic posts, there was no one standing up like a tower. When these posts were easily touched by the Tang army, the more than a thousand Tang troops led by Liu Yuan approached directly in front of the camp without knowing it, and the opponent was still unaware of it.
Unfortunately, these Hunan soldiers were just frightened in the daytime, but now they finally come back to their souls, and the blow comes suddenly.
As Liu Yuan thought, there were a large number of night blindness in this army. When the battle suddenly occurred, in such a dark night, these people would rush around like headless flies, because their eyes couldn't see things clearly. In a panic, they could only wave their weapons randomly in order to protect themselves.
The effect was so good that Liu Yuan himself could not imagine it.
Wei Dongsheng's army exploded the camp.
Faced with such a situation, Wei Dongsheng was in tears.
As time went by, he had figured out that there were not many Tang troops attacking this time, but the problem was that he could not organize an effective counterattack at all. On the contrary, he was fled all the way by the chaotic army.
His personal soldiers could only try their best to protect their chief generals and not be injured by the rioters.
