The life of the Xianyu family through books

Chapter 778 General Preparation

Yan Yu and Wei San marched together.

From time to time, we received battle reports from the other three teams.

Wei Si and Wei Liu were guarding the main roads, waiting for the opportunity. They had already killed three caravans and sent out troops to search the surrounding areas.

Wei Xiaoqi effortlessly destroyed the caravan where the Qi Prince's wife and her son were hiding, and the hostages returned again.

Yan Yu wanted to send the people back to Yongning, but thinking that the city was probably carrying out a capture operation and the situation was tense, he decided not to send the Qi Prince's wife and her son back to provoke the spies in Xizhou, lest they fight desperately and go into a final frenzy.

After much thought, I feel more at ease keeping it under my own nose.

Yan Yu asked Wei Xiaoqi to send someone to bring the person back to Xiaoan Village, and hand him over directly to the village chief without going through her eldest brother.

The village elders have always been reliable and will make arrangements.

……

The troops led by Ding Jiao were stationed ten miles away from Gufeng Dongqiao Town.

Dongqiao Town and Xiqiao Town were respectively under the jurisdiction of Gufeng and Huju.

In fact, the two towns are very close to each other.

Yan Yu pointed at a point on the map and it seemed easy, but it took him a lot of effort to actually find the person.

By the time they locked onto the location and lurked nearby, the sun had already set.

The sky gradually darkened.

The advantage is that their tracks are more concealed, but the disadvantage is that while they are hungry, they can still see the bright campfires in the enemy camp.

Yan Yu gets hungry easily.

Send word down for everyone to have something to eat.

She took out some dried meat from her arms and put it in her mouth, chewing it.

The sharp little teeth tear and grind the dried meat rhythmically.

Wei San glanced at her and handed her the water.

Yan Yu took it, but didn't dare to drink it in big gulps. Instead, he sipped it in small sips.

When marching, you can't drink too much water, and it's not convenient at all.

Everyone else ordered pancakes.

This is the ration that people in Qishan Prefecture usually eat.

Everyone in Xiao Anying is from Qishan, so there is no trouble of not being able to find a place to eat.

It tastes chewy when chewed dry, and tastes delicious when rolled with minced meat and vegetable leaves. It will be even more delicious if you add some scallions and a little bit of soybean paste.

"Wei San, you see, there are still some fish that have slipped through the net. Another group of people has arrived." Yan Yu said vaguely, his eyes fixed on the enemy camp, making no mistake.

"The Xizhou soldiers that Wei Si and his team interrogated all said the same thing. The Xizhou army that crossed the border this time was led by General Ding." Wei San paused, and asked with a fluctuating voice, "Is he the one who planned to blow up the mountain and assassinate the prince?"

"Yes! General Ding Jiao Ding!" Yan Yu was very impressed by this man. "It was also him who led 10,000 elite cavalry to attack Huju City last time."

"If we hadn't threatened the life of the prince of Qi, he would have been afraid to act rashly, and that day would have ended badly."

"This man is full of tricks and his use of troops is unconventional. We must be careful." Wei San said seriously.

"I thought so too. The fact that he chose to camp here made me feel uneasy." Yan Yu frowned. "And the mother and son of the Prince of Qi, according to the plan of the Xizhou people, should have joined them by now. We snatched them back and destroyed the caravan, but look at this side, it's as if nothing happened, there's no movement at all!"

"If it doesn't make sense, there's something wrong." Yan Yu said word by word.

"This place is too close to Xiaoan Village." Wei San said with a frown.

An old man in the family is like a treasure. It is very rare for a soldier who has led troops in battle to live to a ripe old age, and it is even more difficult to have the opportunity to teach his children and grandchildren at home.

General Wei was not among the top military generals in terms of merit.

But he is experienced and has fought in countless battles, big and small.

All his skills and experiences were passed on to future generations without reservation.

Although Wei San and his friends are young, when other children play with sand, they play with sand tables; when other children play with wooden swords and wooden knives, they are already fighting with real swords and guns.

How far should the troops be marched each day, when should they rest, where should they set up camp, how much food and fodder should be prepared, etc.

The Wei brothers all have their own rules.

What is lacking is personal experience to verify what one has learned.

Since leaving home and coming to Guanzhou and entering Xiao'an Camp, the four brothers have grown rapidly.

"Do you also think that the location where they set up camp is too coincidental? It is indeed too close to us!" Yan Yu frowned even more tightly. "And by looking at their tents, you can roughly estimate how many soldiers there are. It is not too far off from two thousand. There are also horses. It would be a waste to let them pull carts. They are all trained military horses."

"The location of our village is particularly good. When we were choosing a place, we saw the mountains and water. It is at the intersection of Yongning, Gufeng and Huju cities, so we want it to be convenient to go everywhere." Yan Yu thought about it from another perspective. If she were Ding Jiao, she would also set her sights on this place.

You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.

Not only is it convenient to send troops anywhere, but if you are defeated you can also escape to the mountains.

Alarm bells went off in her head!

The more I thought about it, the more urgent alarm sounds were automatically added.

Yan Yu picked up a few stones on the ground and put them in order.

"Wei San, this is Xiqiao Town, this is Dongqiao Town, this is our Xiao'an Village, this is Yongning City, this is Huju City, and this is the official road between the two cities." Yan Yu asked seriously: "If it were you, with a thousand cavalry and a thousand infantry, and you wanted to cooperate with the Xizhou army, without considering whether to save the Qi Wang's family, what would you do?"

"The main forces of Guanzhou are all in a tiger's nest. Although the defenders of the prefecture city are few, the city is high and difficult to attack. In the stalemate, Longxing, Fengming, and Gufeng can all come to help. Besides, there are only two thousand soldiers, and it is impossible to attack a city with high walls. Cavalry is best at running and raiding, coming and going like the wind. If I were a general, I would cause chaos in various villages and towns. If the Guanzhou army came to rescue, I would fall into the trap. As long as I am fast enough, two thousand cavalry troops will not be able to do anything to me. At least three thousand cavalry troops and the leaders of the troops must cooperate tacitly to be able to surround me and solve this chaotic situation."

Wei San gestured with his fingers between several stones without raising his head, his expression extremely focused.

"Don't underestimate the fact that we are just trying to lure away these 3,000 soldiers. Morale is very important in a battlefield battle. The Guanzhou army is mainly recruited from the local area. Several generations have lived here. Especially in such a strategic location, if there is civil unrest, everyone from the soldiers to the generals will be distracted and worried. Xizhou is invading with a large army, with excellent armor, strong men and powerful horses. They are in a state of high morale. If one side gains, the other loses, which is very disadvantageous to the Guanzhou army."

Yan Yu let out a breath.

She has made her decision!

He drank all the water in the water bag in one breath.

Yan Yu is no longer afraid of inconvenience.

  On the battlefield, she feels a little suffocated, maybe she can perform better!

"Pass on the general's order!" Yan Yu used very formal words.

  General Yan is online again!

"Everyone get ready to attack the enemy camp at night!"

Wei San was stunned.

I was stunned for a long time.

This, this is going to be a night attack?

They, they only have about 500 people!

As for the enemy’s camp, as I just said, there are less than two thousand of them.

The difference in manpower is so huge, and the new recruits have never been trained for night combat...

  Waiter, no, General Yan, do you want to think about it again?

Yesterday I didn’t update and fell asleep again. I got up in the middle of the night and wrote a chapter, but I was a little dissatisfied so I didn’t update. I looked at it again in the evening and decided to rewrite it~
