Chapter 972 Raiders
"Just here."

Shen Yi pointed to a point on the map and said slowly.

Su Ding looked along where Shen Yi pointed. There was a small mountain that looked like a pagoda, so it was called Pagoda Mountain.

Pagoda Mountain is next to Shu River.

Shuhe River is a river running from north to south. To be precise, Baota Mountain is on the east side of Shuhe River. After crossing Shuhe River, and about sixty miles to the west, it is Xuzhou City.

The Shu River is not very wide, and the local people built bridges in narrow places, but it is indeed a river.

Shen Yi pointed to this hill, and said, "This pagoda mountain, I went to see it myself during the day. The hillside is not very high, but there is no problem in hiding a few people."

"We can let some of our troops cross the Shu River, and then hide the other part on the Pagoda Mountain."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes, and said softly: "Wait for the little tails behind us to catch up, then encircle and eat them."

Su Ding looked at the direction of Shen Yi's finger, thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Shen, there is nothing wrong with your method. The problem is that we have to hide at least 1 people in this pagoda mountain to completely surround it." The tail behind, but the number of people exceeds [-], and it is mighty."

"Let's not talk about whether you can hide it from the scouts of the Qi people, but you can't hide it from the local people."

"This is not a place with a lot of land and few people. During the day, my subordinate also looked around the terrain and asked the local people. There are people living up and down the mountain. There are hunters on the mountain, and Zhuangzi at the bottom..."

"The people of Qi are not stupid, they will definitely ask the local people."

Su Ding lowered his head and said, "It's hard to hide."

"It is impossible to hide 1 people."

Shen Yi said in a low voice: "Besides, our total attack is only 2 people. If half of it is lost all of a sudden, the Qiren scouts who follow us will be able to tell."

Shen Yi stretched out a finger and said, "There is only one thousand household camp hidden."

"Hide in in the middle of the night, try to disperse as much as possible, wait for the people of Qi to cross the Shu River, and then break it into a whole."

"A battalion of thousands of households?"

Su Ding's complexion changed slightly.

A camp of one thousand households in Dachen does not have a total of 1000 people, but almost [-] people.

And there are at least 4000 Qi people following them!
In other words, in order to complete this plan, this one Thousand Household Battalion must block the four Thousand Household Battalions head-on for a period of time!

Do your best to hold them back!
Su Ding opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Xue Wei stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Shen, the general is willing to lead a battalion of thousands of households and disperse into the Pagoda Mountain at night."

Shen Yi pointed to the chair, motioned him to sit down, and then continued: "Listen to me first."

After Xue Wei sat down again, Shen Yi continued: "It would be best if the people of Qi didn't find out about our division of troops. We went back to the division to surround and kill them. It may not be possible to eat them all in one bite, and there is no problem in leaving most of them."

"If people from Qi find out."

Shen Yi looked calm, and said: "Then they will be trapped in Baota Mountain by these 1000 people. I dare not continue to go south. At that time, I will be the main force, and I don't have to pay attention to the [-] people from Haizhou. You can Go straight to Xuzhou, join Ling Su and the others, and attack Xuzhou City."

Su Ding frowned, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Shen, what about the 1000 people left behind?"

Shen Yi looked calm, and said: "Waiting for the opportunity to go south to Suqian, if the Qi people pursue it, we will withdraw from the Huaibei battlefield and return to Huai'an."

"If the Qi people stop chasing, they will go to Xuzhou from Suqian to join the main force."

Having said that, Shen Yi continued: "Even if the people of Qi find out that we have left troops in the Pagoda Mountain, they are unlikely to know exactly how many people we have left. They only have 4000 people. Mountain."

"It's very difficult for this Thousand-Household Battalion to stop the enemy, but it shouldn't be a big problem if you want to withdraw from the battlefield."

Hearing this, Xue Wei still stood up silently, clasping his fists in salute: "Mr. Shen, the last general..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Ding also stood up. He first glanced at Xue Wei, then bowed his head to Shen Yi and said, "Mr. Shen, the last general suggested that General Wan lead this thousand-household battalion."

Shen Yi looked up at Xue Wei.

Xue Wei was silent for a while, then sighed, bowed his head and said: "Mr. Shen, if Wan Zhong is asked to lead the army, the general will feel that he should be given two battalions of thousands of households."

This army hiding behind enemy lines is very dangerous.

And it's double risk.

The first risk is naturally that you may have to block an enemy that is several times your own, and you will definitely suffer heavy losses.

The second risk is that if the second situation is encountered, then these more than 1000 people may completely withdraw from the Huaibei battlefield and miss this war!
And this time to attack Xuzhou, it was time for the Huai'an army to make great contributions!
Missing this battle means that in future resumes, he will be a head shorter than the rest of the Huai'an Army!
This kind of thing is indeed no longer suitable for Xue Wei to do, because Xue Wei also has to assist Su Ding to lead the entire East Route Army, which has a heavy responsibility.

Master Shen thought for a while, and then said: "Then book ten thousand bells, how many people will be given to him, and I will see him alone later, and then talk to him."

Xue Wei and Su Ding looked at each other, stood up and clasped their fists, retreated and left, and went down to prepare to go.

And Wan Zhong was quickly called to the big tent of the Chinese army. He bowed his head respectfully and called Mr. Shen.

Shen Yi motioned him to sit down, then told him about the matter roughly, and then said: "The thing is like this, if you bring a thousand-household battalion, the possibility of being discovered by the people of Qi is less, then the possibility of you fighting a tough battle is higher." Bigger."

"If you take two thousand-household battalions, it will be just the opposite."

Shen Yi said calmly: "It is very likely that you will be discovered by the people of Qi, and you will withdraw from this battle."

Wan Zhong stood up, lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen, the general will only bring a thousand-household battalion with him!"

"The last general was Ren Qianhu for a long time, and there was a camp of thousands of households that he brought up. The last general wanted to take them into the Pagoda Mountain!"

Shen Yi looked up and saw that the young general was not very tall, but he was a stocky young general. He stretched out his hand and stroked his chin for a moment to think about it, and then said: "Well, you take your own thousand-household battalion. In addition, I will let each thousand-household battalion Here, each thousand households sends out [-] elites, and I will collect [-] elites for you, and I will also hand them over to you, and bring them into the Pagoda Mountain."

The elites in Shen Yi's mouth were basically those who had blood on their hands and killed people, and there were more than one of them.

Among these people, many of them held the heads of seven or eight Qi people, so they earned military merits and raised the small flag or the general flag.

Wan Zhong half-kneeled on the ground, clasped his fists at Shen Yi, and bowed his head deeply: "Master, thank you, Mr. Shen!"

Shen Yi patted him on the shoulder, motioned him to stand up, and then said with a smile: "These elites are all rolled out of the battlefield. It is not easy to find one. You have to make good use of it."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi said again: "But if things go wrong and you are chased by the Qi people to the edge of the Huaihe River, you will withdraw from Huaibei and return to Huai'an. I don't blame you."

"This time, all the soldiers, including you, General Wan, whether they held back the Qi people or blocked the Qi people, all have credit."

"I will give you credit."

Wan Zhong bowed his head deeply: "Brothers of the last generation, thank you, Mr. Shen!"

Master Shen patted him on the shoulder, added a few more details, and then let him go down to rest.

As soon as Wan Zhong exited the tent of the Chinese army, he was patted heavily on the shoulder. He turned his head and saw that it was Xue Wei. Xue Wei took his arm and walked aside, asking, "What's the matter?"

The two of them came out of Linhaiwei together, and because they killed a Japanese pirate, they were valued by Shen Yi and joined the anti-Japanese army.

Up to now, several years have passed, and naturally the feelings are deep.

Wan Zhong grinned: "General Xue, don't inquire about military secrets."

"Good boy!"

Xue Wei punched him heavily, and laughed and cursed: "This was originally my errand, but you snatched it away from me, and even kept it from me!"

Wan Zhong grinned in pain, and returned Xue Wei, shouting.

"Xue Da, you are not as old as me, neither older nor younger...!"
