East Factory Governor

Chapter 88 Attacking Heziwan ([-])

Qin Shuhuai called Pigou, Lai San'er, and Zhang Xiao together for a pre-war meeting.

Zhang Xiao quickly set up a simple deduction sand table with stones, then pointed to the sand table and said, "Looking at the topography of Heziwan, the entrances of the east and west passages are small. If the entrances can be sealed, they can be closed." There is a tendency to fight dogs, so there is likely to be an ambush near the entrance. In addition, in the middle of the dock and the yard, there are a large number of goods piled up scatteredly. Set up ambushes at the entrance of the channel and behind the goods in the middle section. After the enemy's troops enter the middle section, they will adopt the tactics of attacking from both sides and splitting the raid in the middle. In addition, there are three large ships docked at the pier. At this time, the large ships are not allowed to leave the port , it must be not cargo, but people. The people on the big ship are likely to be a reserve team. When the two sides fight, they will rush forward as a surprise soldier and be the opponent's winner."

Qin Shuhuai looked at Zhang Xiao in surprise. This guy seemed a little too professional. He didn't look like a gangster, but rather a soldier.Unlike leather dogs who are good at attacking tactics, this person seems to be better at arranging troops.

It seems that we have to check his background later, if it is reliable, it will not be as simple as letting him lead a fan in the future.

The leather dog looked at the sand table, pondered for a while, and added, "The goods in the middle section are piled high, and the location seems to be scattered, but there is a vague appearance of flowers in the middle, and the opponent should set up archers at the center. Others use the cargo as a cover to protect the archers. If the archers are equipped in the middle section, then the opponent really wants to fight us in the middle section. In addition, judging from the fact that they have about 500 archers on the stone bridge, the opponent should not be here. There will be less than a hundred archers, and if the number of horse and infantry is calculated, the total number should not be less than [-]."

After hearing this, Qin Shuhuai frowned deeply, it would be difficult to beat him this way.

It's not easy for Qinglongtang to have such a fortune, so it can't be all spent here, right?No matter how strong I am alone, I am still a mortal body, and I am determined not to be able to deal with so many people.

After thinking about it, I lack experience in this area, so I don't want to be an outsider to command an insider. It's better to let Zhang Xiao and Leather Dog worry about it, so I asked, "Then how do you plan to fight?"

Zhang Xiaoxian said, "The opponent wants to fight in the middle of the pier and the storage yard. We must not fall into the trap. According to my subordinates, the opponent is still docking at the pier, so there should be more troops near the pier, so we can The storage yard is the breakthrough point. Our whole team is divided into two echelons, and all enter from the road where the storage yard is located. After the first echelon enters, some guard the entrance, and some quickly spread out to search the vicinity of the entrance. At this time, the second echelon immediately followed Advance, block the road from the stockyard to the pier. After the ambush is found, the two echelons immediately start to encircle and suppress, and then send crossbowmen to quickly seize the high point to form a suppression. At this time, if the ambush on the other side's pier and the middle section comes to rescue, we will Then we can start a decisive battle with them in the stockyard."

Qin Shuhuai nodded slightly, and asked again, "What if the other party abandons the ambush in the yard?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said, "If they give up the ambush in the stockyard, it will take a lot of work. If Lord Xiang wants to minimize the loss, as long as he can find a way to destroy their three big ships, then The tactic of encircling and not attacking can be adopted. They are prepared to rush, so they must not bring much food and grass. In addition, under normal circumstances, the food is stored in the yard. If they did not expect that we will besiege and not attack, they may not even bring a day's food .”

Zhang Xiao considered this matter from a strategic point of view, which is understandable.

But Qin Shuhuai didn't have that much time to wait, not even a day.Because my goal is not just this pier.

So he asked the leather dog again, "Leather dog, what do you think?"

The leather dog smiled sinisterly and said, "The big ship is made of wood, and the goods on the pier are covered with wooden boxes, and the goods themselves may be flammable, so..."

Zhang Xiao patted his head immediately after hearing this, and said, "That's right, we can attack with fire! As long as we get rid of the big ship and the archers in the middle, it will be easy!"

Leather Dog said again, "We only brought a crossbow with us. A crossbow cannot shoot rockets. But after the Battle of Shiqiao, we killed most of the opponent's archers and seized more than 30 intact bows and 100 bows. Several arrows that are still usable. If I go to get some kerosene, everything will be ready."

After hearing this, Qin Shuhuai smiled slightly, and immediately said to Lai San'er, "Lai San'er, I'll leave the kerosene to you. Also, go get some fast boats, it doesn't matter, the sooner the better, so that we can get close to them big ship."

Lai San'er couldn't get in the conversation, and squatted on the ground depressed for a long time. Hearing this, he immediately got up and said, "Master... Don't worry, Lord Xiang, I will definitely get it!"

When she was happy, she almost yelled "Master". Fortunately, remembering that Zhang Xiao was still here, she quickly swallowed it back.

If it is the Lord of Fragrance, it is based on the title of everyone's loyalty to the Jianghe Gang.But addressing him as "Master" meant that he was purely loyal to Qin Shuhuai alone.

Zhang Xiao has only been in Qinglong Hall for more than a month. Although Qin Shuhuai has trusted him to lead a fan, but after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and there are some things that he should not let him know.

After saying that, Lai San'er went out immediately, and immediately took seven or eight of his men to ride fast horses back to Wuqing to ask for kerosene and a fast boat.

Wuqing Fenrudder is not far from the opposite bank, it is only about [-] miles away, and it can be reached in half an hour on a fast horse.As for the return, it will be faster. If you take the fast boat, you can cross the river directly without having to go around. This way, it will take at most an hour and a half for him to come back with everything ready.

Qin Shuhuai simply didn't miss the hour and a half, and ordered the brigade to stand by and wait for the kerosene and the fast boat to arrive before fighting.

Lai San'er's efficiency is still very high. In less than an hour and a half, he found all these things, and brought good news to Qin Shuhuai. He ordered another twenty crossbows from Wuqing Branch hand.

When Qin Shuhuai heard this, he immediately changed his mind. He planned to send small boats to burn the big ships first when the attack started. Anyway, regardless of whether the Cao Gang came to rescue the yard, the existence of those ships was a threat.

After explaining to Lai San in this way, Lai San'er immediately obeyed and took people to prepare to go.

It was already bright, and the rising sun was shining brilliantly on the river.

Qin Shuhuai sat on the horse, staring at the front with both eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Attack!"

In the first echelon, Zhang Xiao led about 80 people, mainly C characters, and marched slowly with a big shield on their backs.

After entering the yard from the not spacious road, there was no one blocking the way.

The second echelon quietly followed.

After all the Bing characters entered the yard, they immediately began to search for ambushes with ten people as a unit.There are three warehouses and two rows of houses near the entrance to the passageway of the storage yard. If there is no accident, the ambush soldiers should hide there.

However, after searching all these places, they found that there was no one there.

After learning about the situation, Qin Shuhuai remained unmoved, and asked the troops to continue searching, and would never advance further until the ambush was found.

He believed in the judgments of Leather Dog and Zhang Xiao, and even more in his own.As a coach, you must not shake the established strategy at this time, unless the situation forces you to change.

A group of ambushes, not one person, and there is only so much space in the storage yard, so it is not that difficult to find them.
