Chapter 623 Night Attack on the Base
People often say: There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?As time goes on, there are always times when we are negligent.

Although Hong Chengchou was seasoned in military matters and was mentally prepared, he was choked up by Zhang Shun.

It turned out that Zhang Shun also knew that if he attacked the camp that night, the officers and soldiers would have been prepared.But if the rebels didn't take the opportunity to do something, and watched the officers and soldiers surround themselves and others, wouldn't they lose their momentum and morale?

Therefore, Zhang Shun simply asked He Jin to lead [-] cavalry, carrying gongs, drums, and firecrackers, and divided them into small groups to make a detour to approach the officers and soldiers camp to harass.

Hong Chengchou had already set up a vigilance.He divided the guard soldiers into clear sentry, dark sentry and chasing sentry.

As the name suggests, Mingshao stands on the sentry post with open flames to guard against sneak attacks by rebels.The dark sentry is hidden in the dark. Once the bright sentry is attacked, the dark sentry can release the alarm in time.

The so-called "chasing sentry" means that some elite cavalry were selected and mobilized, with their clothes unarmored, their swords attached to their bodies, and their mounts beside them.Once there are police officers, they can get on their horses in time and go out of the camp to drive away the rebels who came to attack and harass the camp.

Hong Chengchou's defense was flawless, and Zhang Shun's offense was also wonderful.As the saying goes: "A good attacker moves above the nine heavens, and a good defender hides under the nine grounds."He Jin and He Yilong have different brains, but they are more flexible in using troops.

Thanks to the establishment of the Ma Yingniang Military Academy, scientific and reasonable training was given to the middle and low-level officers of the rebel army, which led to the rebellion's small-scale operations being quite organized.

Five people form a team, five teams form a team, five teams form a banner, and five banners form a division.The corps leader, captain, banner chief, and division chief have all received military academy training, and are familiar with communication methods such as commanding operations and golden drum flags.

So He Jin easily divided and changed the [-] cavalry under his command according to the team and flag.When attacking, a small team of five five is used as the establishment, and each team has a total of twenty-five cavalry to harass.

Once encountering officers and soldiers warning, some cavalry came out of the camp to drive them away, turned around and fled.If the officers and soldiers return to the camp, they will turn back and continue to harass; if the officers and soldiers come out to chase, they will gather with other teams to form a banner of [-] riders or a few banners, so as to fight more and less, and take the opportunity to eliminate the opponent.

At the beginning, when the officers, soldiers and cavalry saw the rebels resorting to this method, they laughed at the opponent for "playing big swords in front of Guan Gong".

It turns out that the cavalry under Hong Chengchou's command are all elites from the three sides. They have been fighting against the "three big bandits" who attacked and harassed the border areas all the year round: Song Bandits, Tao Bandits, and Sea Bandits. Small-scale harassment operations have already reached perfection.

But they never expected that the cavalry of the rebel army might not be as superb in riding skills or proficient in martial arts as they were, only the change of division and combination, with more fighting and less fighting, is very good.

The officers and soldiers often chased the cavalry of the Rebel Army with more and less, and chasing and chasing the "thief" cavalry in front of them suddenly gathered together, which was twice as much as the officers and soldiers.

Coupled with the hazy night, it is impossible to see the number and situation clearly, and the officers, soldiers and cavalry often suffer a lot from this.

At the beginning, Hong Chengchou only said that everything was in his own calculations, and he slept peacefully in the big tent, and didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, there was constant sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers outside the camp, and news of officers and soldiers being killed or missing came from time to time.Now Hong Chengchou couldn't lie down anymore, so he quickly got up and ordered the soldiers to light the torches, illuminating the ground outside the camp.

Once the rebel cavalry came, let the soldiers shoot arrows and projectiles to drive the rebel cavalry away.

It's just that, after spending most of the night, Zhang Shun only bothered He Jin's [-] cavalry.With [-] troops under Hong Chengchou's command, they could not survive overnight.

Finally, the next morning, everyone couldn't help yawning, staring at a pair of "panda eyes" and came out to cook.

Last night, because the rebels did not really break into the camp, the officers and soldiers did not suffer any major losses.

Hong Chengchou asked his staff to make statistics, and it was nothing more than the loss of twenty or thirty cavalry.It's just that this has a big impact on the hearts and morale of officers and soldiers.

Hong Chengchou's face was dark and he didn't speak. While eating the food without taste, he said cruelly in his heart: what a "shun thief", he has some skills!It's just a small skill, a formidable enemy, and a great situation. When our army arrives, it will surely wipe you out.

After breakfast, Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, couldn't help laughing out loud.The staff and generals on the left and right couldn't help asking strangely: "Master, why are you laughing?"

"I laugh that the 'Shun Bandit' is famous, but he doesn't know how to fight, and he is brave and intrepid. I will win this battle!" Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, said with a smile.

Everyone rolled their eyes in private, and thought to themselves: Just brag, I was cleaned up last night and I couldn't even sleep well, so why not just brag!

Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, of course knows what everyone is thinking, but he has a thick skin, ahem, he has other ideas.

Anyway, Hong Chengchou is the governor of the five provinces, and everyone dared not disobey him, and quickly praised him: "Master, why do you say that?"

"Since ancient times, those who are good at using soldiers have always used offense as defense, and burned the flames of war to other places. In this way, no matter whether they win or lose, they will gain something. The second is to defend the enemy from outside the country, and beware of the people and farmland being destroyed by others. According to. It is really rare for a 'Shun thief' to hold his head and look like he was being beaten before the beating started!" Hong Chengchou couldn't help but smiled triumphantly.

Everyone is also a person who knows how to fight, and they couldn't help being stunned when they heard the words, and they all praised: "What the supervisor said is true, so within half a month, we can all enter Luoyang City to celebrate the New Year!"

Hong Chengchou was also very proud when he heard the words, and couldn't help but ordered: "Today's password: Enter Luoyang City to celebrate the New Year!"

When everyone heard this, they all clapped their hands and laughed: "Okay, okay, okay! What a 'into Luoyang City for the New Year'!"

Immediately, everyone announced this military order to the whole army, and the morale of the officers and soldiers recovered slightly.Hong Chengchou hurriedly ordered the three armies to march to Luoyang City.

At the same time, Zhang Shun was wearing the armor with the help of Gao Guiying in Fuchu.Gao Guiying asked strangely, "Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, not to mention twice as many as our army. Even if the number is higher than three levels of our army, the rebel army will not be able to win."

"There is such a disparity in strength between the two sides, why does the general leave the city?"

"Since ancient times, how can there be any reason to only be beaten and not to fight in war?" Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "Although there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, there is a saying in the art of war: if ten times, encircle them, if five times attack them, if twice as many, divide them." .”

"Although Hong Chengchou has many soldiers, not to mention ten times the advantage, even if he doesn't even have five times the advantage, why did he besiege Luoyang City?"

"Although the rebel army has already fortified the walls and cleared the fields, they have dispersed the people outside the city, and burned the trees and other wood that can be used to make siege equipment. But if they don't take the initiative to attack, wouldn't it mean that the other party will be trapped to death safely and safely in the city?"

"Therefore, the law of defending the city must not be defended to the death. If you defend it, you will lose it for a long time! The only way to fight against the city is to protect the soldiers with the city and protect the city with the soldiers, and then they say: You can defend!"
