Chapter 142: Get rid of Jiannu’s war horse

"What else can I discuss about this?" As soon as Wang Pu finished speaking, Scarface said carelessly, "As long as the Firearms Battalion has enough ammunition, it would be a piece of cake to defeat the tens of thousands of Jiannu outside the city? It's not that I'm Scarface bragging, as long as my thousand-person team can settle them."

"That's it." Tang Sheng also echoed loudly, "We defeated the 200,000 Jiannu attacked Datong, and killed more than 40,000 people. What a 20,000 or 30,000 Jiannu outside the city is nothing? It's not enough for brothers to get stuck in their teeth."

Monk Zhang was not willing to be outdone and shouted: "There is no need for a thousand-man team. Do you believe it or not? It only takes five hundred-man teams to get the four Jiannu camps outside the city one by one."

Only Zhao Xin didn't say anything, but looking at the relaxed expression on his face, he obviously did not take the 20,000 or 30,000 Jiannu outside the city seriously.

Wang Pu's brows frowned in an instant.

It seems that after winning three battles and winning a hearty victory, the main generals under his command were already a little fluttering. It is no wonder that more than 40,000 Jiannu were destroyed in one fierce battle, and there was no suspense. Anyone would be proud and arrogant. They would no longer take the 20,000 to 30,000 Jiannu outside the city seriously.

But Wang Pu wouldn't think so.

Because Wang Pu knew that, including the surprise attack on Liaodong, several victories against Jiannu could be said to be a clever victory, not a force victory!

The attack on Shengjing was a complete sneak attack. Jiannu caught him off guard, and the defenders of the city were all the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, so there was nothing to brag about.

The battle twenty miles east of Shengjing City was considered a tough battle. Wang Pu did defeat the two thousand Mongolian cavalry of Man Zhu Xili with his 600 primitive message guns, but that was not the serious Jiannu Iron Cavalry, but just the Mongolian cavalry.

Moreover, the battle was very lucky. First, Ebilong and Tazhan divided their troops, and each time they attacked only one thousand cavalry. Second, the Mongolians were too arrogant and did not take the hundreds of servants of Wang Pudi seriously. As a result, several rows of gunfire came, and dozens of cavalry died and injured more than three hundred cavalry. The remaining Mongolian cavalry turned around and ran away in shock.

If Ebilong and Tazhan were not divided, they would launch an attack from the front with two thousand Mongolian cavalry. With Wang Pu's six hundred bullet guns, not to mention six-section attacks, even six-section attacks would have to end the entire army.

Then there are the three battles between Datong.

The first battle was to go out of the city to fight, but at that time, Ajige's 8,000 cavalry had been half surrounded by more than 50,000 bandits. Wang Pu's firearms camp was able to intercept the retreat of Jiannu and kill the eight Niulu's elite Jiannu! If Ajige's 8,000 cavalry were not entangled by more than 50,000 bandits, Wang Pu's firearms camp would definitely not get any advantage. If it was not a good deal, the entire army would be destroyed.

The second and third battles were all battles to defend the city. Wang Pu's firearm battalion occupied favorable terrain. With the intensive shooting of muskets and the terrifying lethality of the Dragon King cannon, the attack on the Jiannu land twice. Especially in the second battle to defend the city, more than 10,000 Jiannu was killed and more than 30,000 were injured.

These injured Jiannu ended up falling into the hands of the defenders and were slaughtered.

Wang Pu carefully recalled several clashes with Jiannu, but found that it was either because of Jiannu's carelessness that he won by chance, or because he had won favorable conditions or occupied favorable terrain. No battle was to truly defeat Jiannu in a head-on confrontation.

Although there is no need to force the enemy to defeat the front, these facts also illustrate a truth: if Jiannu no longer underestimates the enemy's carelessness, and Wang Pu's firearms lost favorable conditions and terrain advantages, they might not be able to defeat Jiannu, who has superior troops.

Wang Pu would think this way, but the Qianshe under his command would not think this way.

Wang Pu felt that he wanted to explain this truth to Mr. Qian, who was ignorant of his words, was simply playing the piano for a cow, so he asked them to go back to the frontcourt first.

When Scarface and the others left, Zhen Youcai whispered: "General. Bei Zhi said something depressed. Scarface and the others underestimated the enemy too much. Although our army defeated Jiannu three times, Bei Zhi thought that it was a miracle. Miracle would not happen forever, otherwise it would not be called a miracle."

Wang Pu said: "I won't talk about them anymore, let me tell you what I think. How should I fight this next battle?"

Zhen Youcai asked back without answering: "The general just wants to defeat Jiannu. Or do you want to kill Jiannu?"

A trace of ferociousness appeared on Wang Pu's face. He whispered: "If possible, of course, we must kill all the people."

Zhen Youcai said: "Then you must first find a way to get rid of Jiannu's war horse. Once Jiannu loses the war horse, it is like a tiger leaving its minions. Not only does the attack power sharply decrease, but even if you want to escape, you can't escape."

Wang Pu smiled and said, "We are talented, we think of going together again."

Leigong Mountain Camp, Li Yan's Headquarters.

The Hongniang walked in with a gust of fragrant wind and said to Li Yan: "My husband, Jiannu is indeed herding horses on the banks of the Yuhe River."

"Okay." Li Yan said happily, "calculate the time, Jiannu's hay should be exhausted."

"What's so good?" said the Hongniu coquettishly, "The crops and seedlings on the banks of the Yuhe River are almost eaten up by Jiannu's horses. What will the people eat then?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Madam, do you want to save the young girl from Datong from Jiannu?"

The Hongniang said, "Of course I think about it."

Li Yan said: "Then let's grab all the horses of Jiannu."

"Ah?" The Hong Madam widened her beautiful eyes and ate, "My husband, are you going to rob Jiannu's horse?"

"Why not rob?" Li Yan smiled, "I have been thinking about fighting Jiannu horses for my husband for a long time."

The Hongniu said, "But Jiannu's defense is very tight. The horse-herding place is full of scouts and cavalry. It took a lot of effort to sneak to the banks of the Yuhe River. There were almost Jiannu's scouts discovered several times in the middle. If you mobilize the army to rob, you will definitely not be able to hide from Jiannu's eyes and ears. When the army arrives, the horse-herding Jiannu has already driven the horses back to the camp."

"The mountain man has his own tricks." Li Yan smiled, "Madam. How many horses are there grazing on the banks of the Yuhe River?"

The Hongniang said, "Maybe there are more than 10,000."

"More than 10,000?" Li Yan nodded and pondered, "Wang Pu said that the Jiannu who stayed outside Datong City was about 30,000, and four camps were set up outside the four gates, including 5,000 people stationed outside the East Gate and the West Gate, and 10,000 people stationed outside the South Gate and the North Gate. A few days ago, eight thousand cavalrymen were sent to plunder food and grass... Well, it seems that the grazing ground on the banks of the Yuhe River should be the Jiannu in the North Gate and the East Gate camp."

The Hongmao blinked her beautiful eyes and obviously couldn't keep up with Li Yan's thinking.

Li Yan pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked up and shouted, "Hu Zi."

"Brother, Brother Hu has gone to the school grounds."

A tall young man with a leather back and waist came in. The young man was named Li Jun, Li Yan's cousin, and ranked seventh in the clan. Since Li Hu was appointed as the leader of the Yan'an Camp by Li Yan, Li Jun has replaced Li Hu as the captain of Li Yan's personal guard.

"Oh, I almost forgot that Hu Zi is now a general." Li Yan smiled self-deprecatingly and said to Li Jun, "Lao Qi, come here immediately."

Datong, Gunpowder Bureau.

Zhen Youcai said to Wang Pu: "But General, it's not easy to get rid of Jiannu's war horse."

Wang Pu said: "Looking at the whistle and whistle on the building, Jiannu drove out a large number of war horses every day, and left the camp at dawn and did not return until dark. Judging from this situation, the hay in Jiannu's camp was probably almost exhausted. In helplessness, Jiannu began to shed horses nearby."

Zhen Youcai said: "This is an opportunity. If there is this kind of forage, the war horses can get diarrhea after eating it."

"Hehe." Wang Pu smiled softly, "You don't know yet. Dad Li is a descendant of the genius doctor Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty."

"What?" Zhen Youcai asked in surprise. "Dad Li is the descendant of the famous doctor Li Shizhen?"

"Yes." Wang Pu said, "The compendium of materia meditation passed down by Li Jiajia is in the hands of Dad Li."

Zhen Youcai was moved when he heard this and said, "So... Is there really such a fodder?"

"Yes." Wang Pu nodded, "Dad Li knew that there was such a kind of forage, and this kind of forage is everywhere in our Datong. It would be fine to eat this kind of forage and horses occasionally, but if you eat too much, you will get diarrhea and lose all your limbs. Once you ride on it, you will immediately lie on the ground!"

"Okay." Zhen Youcai said. "This is really great."

Wang Pu said: "I have asked someone to make a secret preparation in Datong Zuowei. First, grind the grass that Daddy Li said into powder. Then sprinkle it on the hay for the war horses. I guess it will be ready in the next two days. Then I will send heavy troops to Datong. The purpose of Jiannu's encirclement of Datong is to cut off our supply of food and grass. At that time, troops will definitely be sent to intercept it. I think the border troops of Datong Zuowei are not the opponent of Jiannu, and this batch of hay will eventually fall into Jiannu's hands."

"My beauty, so wonderful." Zhen Youcai clapped his hands and shouted, "This trick is perfect for removing firewood from the cauldron. It's hard for Jiannu to be fooled."

Wang Pu said again: "In order to do a good job, I will let Scarface go out of the city to respond with a firearm at that time. These guys are so proud that they will take this opportunity to suffer a little, so that they will know that Jiannu is not made of tofu, and there are prerequisites for defeating Jiannu in the past few times."

"Okay." Zhen Youcai couldn't help but shout, "The general is far-sighted and admires his humble position."

Wang Pu smiled and said, "Okay, now the main thing is over. Let's talk about some private matters while there is still some time."

"Private affairs?" Zhen Youcai said in surprise, "What private affairs?"

"What other private matters can you do?" Wang Pu smiled, "You're going to marry me."

"Well, this..." Zhen Youcai looked embarrassed and scratched his head, "Now that Jiannu has not retired, so it seems that the humble position is not suitable for marriage?"

"I'll just give you a message first." Wang Pu said, "The kiss I like to like is my sister-in-law's personal maid. Fang's name is Xianglian. I have seen people. She is one of the most beautiful figures and looks, and she is not inferior to the young lady. The most important thing is that the little girl is gentle and kind, and she can serve people. I will tell you that this little girl, Lu Liu and Xiao Qi, have been remembering it, and have talked to me several times."

"Hey, hey..." Zhen Youcai's little eyes had narrowed into two slits and rubbed his hands repeatedly, "Hey, you really have troubled you, General."

Leigong Mountain, Li Yan's head.

Jing Maocheng followed Li Jun into the yard, clasped his fists and bowed to Li Yan, "See the Grand Marshal."

"Senior Brother Jing, sit down." Li Yan waved his hand and said enthusiastically, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite."

"yes."

Jing Maocheng thanked him and sat down.

Li Yan said: "Senior Brother Jing, I just got the news that Jiannu grazed on the banks of the Yuhe River every day!"

Jing Maocheng didn't know what Li Yan meant, so he had to nod it gently as a response.

Li Yan smiled slightly and continued, "Senior Brother Jing, do you remember what I said to you and General Li Xuan on the school field?"

"Of course I remember." Jing Mao said without hesitation, "The Grand Marshal will not say that we will have thousands of war horses... Hey, Grand Marshal, are you saying..."

"That's right." Li Yan nodded, "I am referring to Jiannu's war horses. Sooner or later, these war horses belong to our rebel army."

"But..." Jing Maocheng frowned, "What should we do to grab Jiannu's war horse?"

Li Yan said: "It's very simple, only eight words: arrange it in advance and wait for an opportunity to grab it!"
