Horse on the World

Chapter 162
In Qingcheng, the flimsy defenders are like a thin piece of window paper, a big hole is opened with a slight stabbing by the army passing by the mountain wind, the Qingcheng defenders ran out of the city to suppress the bandits with shame and arrogance. Returning in embarrassment, Guo Shanfeng was not in a hurry to kill them, but just drove the collapsed Fuzhou army to Qingcheng like sheep. Come over, seize the city gate, and Qingcheng was destroyed. This is the third city that has been destroyed by the mountain wind since January. The whole Fuzhou was stunned by this powerful salt workers' riot army.Xiang Xianhe, who didn't take it seriously at first, finally realized the seriousness of the problem. If this disorderly army were allowed to roam around in Fuzhou, Fuzhou would be in a state of eternal doom.He had to send his elite troops to start looking for the decisive battle of this army.

Xiang Hui led 3000 people to station in Hailing, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Wankou Salt Farm, the old nest of the rebel army. This is where most of the rebellious troops lived, and their families were there. Leading the only cavalry battalion of the Fuzhou Army, he followed closely the pace of the rebel army, trying to fight a decisive battle with it.

"The boss!" Wei Dewu hurried into the Qingcheng county office, where Guo Shanfeng was staying, his subordinates had already moved out all the silver from the Qingcheng county official treasury, and stacked boxes of money in the county office lobby.Wei Dewu fought bravely and was also smart. He quickly adapted to the military training method created by Li Qing, and quickly stood out from the crowd of salt workers. Now he is a general under Guo Shanfeng, commanding thousands of steps pawn.

"What's the matter?" Guo Shanfeng was torturing the fat county magistrate.

"The spies came to report that Fuzhou Xiangfeng's cavalry is less than two hundred miles away from us, only one day's journey away. Should we vote with him, or run away?" Wei Dewu asked.

Guoshanfeng laughed, Wei Dewu is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He didn’t know that infantry should fight against cavalry. First, they must have good armor, second, they must be strict in discipline, and third, they must be able to attack from a long distance. Going to die, Guo Shanfeng still doesn't think that this group of soldiers who have just been organized by salt workers and refugees and trained for more than a month can maintain their tenacious will and fighting ability under the powerful impact of cavalry. They resisted the impact of the master's cavalry, and they themselves had to lead more than a thousand cavalry to charge against the enemy, first break up the opponent's formation, and then let the infantry rush up to fight with them, but in this way, their precious cavalry would be damaged a lot , Now it is only the initial stage of disrupting the recovery of the state, and he does not want to have too many casualties.

"Withdraw, let's go back to Wankou. I just received information that a battalion of Xianghui from Fuzhou is planning to attack Wankou. Let's rush back and fight their infantry," Guo Shanfeng said.

"Yes, the head of the family!" Wei Dewu replied loudly. Wankou was his old nest, where all the family members were concentrated. Although there were more than a thousand soldiers left there, there was no chance of winning against a battalion of the Fuzhou Army.

"Have you finished copying the houses of the rich and salt owls in Qingcheng?" Guo Shanfeng asked.

Wei Dewu showed an excited look on his face, "The head of the family, it's almost the same, the family is rich these days, this time we made a lot of money again!"

Guo Shanfeng smiled and said: "Of course these bastards are rich, but they have saved their money for a lifetime, so it's cheaper for us now? By the way, have our soldiers harassed their female relatives, and are there any in Qingcheng?" To disturb ordinary people?"

Wei Dewu hurriedly said: "No, no, master, how could this happen? Last time you beheaded several soldiers who committed crimes at once in Fangcheng. Now the soldiers are very disciplined, and no one dares to mess around."

Guo Shanfeng smiled, "That's good, we must pay attention to military discipline. Although we are called bandits, we must regard ourselves as a rebel army, a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor."

The reason why Guo Shanfeng pays so much attention to military discipline is because Li Qing told him thousands of times before he set off. If an army does not have strict military discipline, it will soon fall, especially if it is like Guo Shanfeng. If the majority of people who were kept in the dark really turned themselves into bandits in this action, it would be extremely detrimental to returning to Dingzhou in the future.

The army that had passed through the mountains came like the wind, and after looting wantonly, they left Yingcheng like a gust of wind, leaving only a group of Qingcheng gentry who went from rich to abject in an instant, wanting to cry without tears.

At the mouth of the bay, the soldiers who stayed behind began to prepare for the battle. When Guoshanfeng attacked, more than a thousand strong soldiers were left here, and they were handed over to a group of low-level officers who came from Dingzhou. They were to train and lead the battle. These rookies, after a few months, these more than a thousand soldiers have been completely reborn after receiving the formal military training in Dingzhou, and they have begun to look like soldiers, and the armor and weapons secretly transported from Dingzhou have also been assembled. , although the armor is some old stuff, it is still an indispensable thing for these former salt workers, and being able to get such a good thing makes them even more awed by the master Ban Tianyun. , These things are all scarce materials, and it takes a huge amount of money to equip the soldiers. If you haven't seen Yuan Chengying who came to attack the bay last time, it's not like some soldiers don't have armor!
The current appearance of the bay mouth has changed drastically. Although there is no way to build a bastion and other fortifications, the military officers of Dingzhou have strengthened the simple version of the city wall of the bay mouth. Then fill it with earth and rocks and smear it with mud, and sections of the city wall are erected like this. Although it is only less than three meters high, it has given the family members of the salt workers behind the wall a lot of peace of mind.Such a city wall is far from enough to deal with the prairie barbarians, but it is completely enough to deal with an army like the Fuzhou Army that has not experienced the test of war for a long time.

An army depends on whether its combat power is strong or not, it depends on whether it can maintain its high fighting spirit and unyielding heart after experiencing heavy losses. The reason why the Dingzhou Army is strong is because they are at odds with the barbarians. What is slowly cultivated in the struggle is the will to fight to the end without giving up resistance.

When Guo Shanfeng returned to the mouth of the bay, the pre-war preparations here were all in place. Seeing the crossbow installed on the wall, Guo Shanfeng nodded in satisfaction.

"Huang Yiming, you come to command the defense of the city. I will take 2000 people out of the city, go to Xianghui's ass, and stab him to death from behind!" Guo Shanfeng made a gesture, and everyone laughed. The relaxed atmosphere made Wei Dewu and other generals who grew up from the original salt workers relax involuntarily. Also, under the leadership of Guo Shanfeng, they won every battle in Fuzhou, which has given them a strong force. Confidence, I believe that I can defeat the Fuzhou Army, which looked very powerful.

"General..." Huang Yiming blurted out, but immediately realized his mistake, and continued without changing his face: "You take all the cavalry out of the city! This way we can move faster, and we will rush to Xiangfeng in Fuzhou Before the end of the battle against Xiang Hui, I was afraid that Xiang Hui would run away if he saw a bad opportunity, and if he was allowed to join forces with Xiang Feng, it would be difficult to fight the next battle."

"Divide and attack them, break them one by one, and destroy the enemy in motion!" Guo Shanfeng waved his arms, "Don't forget this sentence, the mouth of the bay is now a bait, luring the Fuzhou army to destroy them one by one. When Xiang Xianhe finds out that something is wrong and wants to gather all the troops, he will find that his Fuzhou Army does not have enough troops, hahaha, by then, Fuzhou will be ours!"

Everyone laughed, but the meaning contained in the laughter was different.

Xiang Hui confidently marched towards the mouth of the bay. Regarding the destruction of Yuan Chengying, although he had a certain degree of vigilance against this group of rioting salt workers, he still believed that with the elite under his command, it should be easy to wipe them out. What's more, the man named Ban Tianyun is collecting large troops and fleeing around, and Xiang Feng's elite cavalry has been accompanying them. How can the rebellious army that has left most of the main force be his opponent? I am not Yuan Cheng, nor are my subordinates. Yuan Cheng's gang of useless people, these 3000 people are the absolute main force that the commander spent a lot of money to support.

"General Xiang, there are chaotic sentinels on the left and right flanks, please tell me whether to expel them?" The vanguard sentry rushed to report.

Xiang Hui thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No need, the other party wants to disturb our army's morale, how many people are there in the rebellious army, can they send a large number of troops out of the city, just pretending to be suspicious, and go straight to the mouth of the bay, let's go straight Don't worry about his old lair, even if the main force of the cloud is here for a long time, we three thousand tigers have nothing to fear, go forward."

In the other direction, after Guo Shanfeng heard the detective cavalry's report, he smiled and said to the general beside him: "Soldiers, deceitful ways, the false ones are real, the real ones are false, the false and the real, and the use of them Wonderful, with one mind, you have to remember that the more you have the upper hand, the more you have to be cautious, because using odds and dangers will only be used by the weak or those who are about to lose, and hope can turn the tide. On the contrary, this kind of strategy can turn defeat into victory once it succeeds, but the possibility of failure is even greater. I hope that I will never use strange strategies in my life!"

The whip pointed to Hui's direction, "Look, Xiang Hui now thinks he has the upper hand and is sure to win, and it is the same in the eyes of many people, but he is not cautious, but arrogant. Laying the groundwork for his failure, if I were in command of the Fuzhou Army, once I found the enemy's scout cavalry, I would definitely send people to expel and mop them up and figure out the situation. Potential risks are minimized."

"Thank you for your teaching!" The generals around him listened with gusto. The Dingzhou military officers all knew that Guo Shanfeng and other Dingzhou generals were taught military law by the general Mr. Li Qing. The on-the-spot guidance on the Internet is very rare, and Wei Dewu and others have never been in contact with high-level military law, so they are fascinated by listening to it and firmly remember it in their hearts.

"Let's go, get ready to poke Xiang Hui's ass. Scouts must pay attention to the movements of Xiang Feng's cavalry, and report the opponent's location to me at any time. We must kill Xiang Hui before Xiang Feng arrives, and cut off one of Xiang Xianhe's arms." !"

"Obey!" All the generals promised loudly, leaving Guo Shanfeng one by one and walking towards their troops.
