Zhao Yucheng was stunned by this and was greatly shocked.
However, he didn’t have much time to continue to shock because the war was about to start.
Zhao Yucheng immediately arranged the defensive war according to this information, and arranged for Shao Hongyuan’s troops to take the only way to launch a mountain guerrilla war, which put Shao Hongyuan’s elite main force in a dilemma
Shao Hongyuan here has no idea that he has been informed by a group of insects to the peasant army.
He wants to fight
Qi may want to make money, but Shao Hongyuan’s achievements are recognized by the emperor and get more and higher status.
Shao Hongyuan called a military meeting to tell the ministries about his tactics and distribute them.
Then he made a declaration.
"This time the righteous with the wicked Luo Xiao mountain thief army you should do your duty and strive to annihilate the thief army without leaving a mountain robber, but it is not impossible to see the Ministry kill even the stone to cut a knife! After winning this battle, all the gains will be yours! "
The ministers are relieved that the Lord will make such a declaration, which means they can be arbitrary-they want to win.
In the feudal army, it was very cruel for strict commanders to control troops. For soldiers, the psychological pressure was enormous. If they were careless, they would collapse and blow up the camp.
The excellent generals will give the army some special benefits, such as the blood and tears of the defeated people in exchange for the psychological relaxation of the cruelly squeezed soldiers, so that their pressure can be released.
In this way, a sustainable state of fishing can be maintained.
Shao Hongyuan is suspected to be an excellent general who is very skilled in this game. Although his army is strictly controlled and cruelly squeezed by him, he will relax the army appropriately.
Luo Xiao’s army of thieves and conformity is the army bonus.
When Shao Hongyuan sharpened his knife, Zhao Yucheng also called a military meeting.
His military meeting announced that he had recently obtained military information and told everyone that Qi and Shao Hongyuan were at odds and might stand idly by.
"According to our judgment for so long, Qi Fang may want to benefit us and continue to gain benefits. It is not only the so-called self-respect of raising a coach, but Shao Hongyuan is not the one who will take the initiative to attack if Shao Hongyuan wants to make achievements.
Despite this, it is difficult for Shao Hongyuan to get effective information without the assistance of Qi, and it is even more impossible to get the help of Qi’s troops. I think we can beat him as much as possible. "
Du Qi, Zhao Yucheng’s deputy, reported the situation of the peasant army base of the Renaissance Association in Luoxiao Mountain.
"Intelligence says Shao Hongyuan can move 10,000 troops and we can move up to 7,000 people to fight. It’s not that there are not enough people, but that training is short and so many others can pull out to fight. We are not responsible for them. We can’t do this kind of thing."
Zhao Yucheng nodded and agreed with Du Qi’s opinion.
"Although Song Jun has 10,000 troops to participate in this battle, we can move fewer people than them to fight head-on. That’s not to think about it. What we can do is limited. The most effective tactic is to help us get familiar with the terrain and defeat Shao Hongyuan."
Chapter 61 Shao Hongyuan decided to disperse to disperse
Zhao Yucheng took out the topographic map of Luoxiao Mountain drawn at this time with assurance, pointed to one traffic artery and handed these traffic arteries to different officers to lead troops to guard.
Generally speaking, the traffic roads in the mountains are very steep, and Mo Ye is not completely exaggerating. If the terrain is advantageous, there will be battles.
Moreover, there is still discord in the Song army, which is the basis for the victory of the peasant army.
With this belief, Zhao Yucheng and Du Qi arranged the battle plan together and continued to monitor Shao Hongyuan’s army.
Shao Hongyuan, on the other hand, was very angry that Qi Fang didn’t give him enough guides. He felt that Qi Fang had bad intentions and had second thoughts about the court.
"This man has been stationed here for a long time, but he hasn’t taken any action. It’s not like fighting. He is likely to try to raise his own weight. I must expose this man to the court!"
Shao Hongyuan gnashed his teeth and hated Qi Fang, but his department dissuaded Shao Hongyuan.
"Qi Fang won the battle before he was ordered to be the boss. Now he has made contributions and the news that the general has no contributions has been sent to the court. If he pleads that the victory or defeat is unknown, it is better to wait for the general to win the military exploits and then report the achievements to Qi Fang, and everything will be fine."
Shao Hongyuan felt very reasonable after listening to the words, so he decided to concentrate on winning the battle and then talk about him.
It was the tenth day of March in the third year of Hongwu. After some preparations, Shao Hongyuan explored some mountain roads and roughly determined the position of the peasant army in the mountains, so he moved into the mountains.
According to his arrangement, there are quite a few peasant troops in the mountains, but the weapons and equipment are poor, and there is no military common sense and training. It will not be difficult to fight purely by a group of mountain bandits.
It is the difficulty of roads in Shandong that makes it easy to be ambushed.
Therefore, he asked the troops to March forward in order, and the crossbowmen should always be on guard against knives and shields. Before sending troops, he even asked the troops to practice the battle pattern and combat methods.
It can be said that he is also ready enough to fight the peasant army.
However, the reality of fighting for only three days gave Shao Hongyuan a head-on blow.
Song jungen doesn’t know how to fight this battle.
To be precise, his army can’t find the peasant army, but the peasant army can always find them and enter the mountains. Only a few hours later, they are attacked by the peasant army.
Arrows, stones, clods, all kinds of terrible traps
Walking with more than a dozen arrows, the archer was gone when Song Jun reacted in the chaos and wanted to chase him.
Or walking and suddenly touching the trap, a whole piece of soldiers fell into the pit and were stabbed to death and stabbed with sharp bamboo guns buried in the pit.
Shao Hongyuan, although he was good to the army, couldn’t do it. Before he put on armor for the army, he asked Qi Fang for armor. Qi Fang gave him more than 100 pairs to cope with, and then said that he didn’t have armor either.
Therefore, Shao Hongyuan’s armor and equipment are very limited, and a large number of grass-roots soldiers have lost a lot in the face of sudden attacks and traps by the peasant army.
This kind of attack and trap is not rare, nor is it day and night, but it may happen all the time during the day and night.
I don’t know when a group of peasant troops will come out to shoot arrows or encounter a trap. Many people are wary of falling and dying on the spot with bamboo guns.
Because of this, the soldiers in Song Jun are almost frightened, and they are moving forward step by step, losing their mobility.
However, the main force of the peasant army never appeared, just like a ghost, and the mountains were haunted, which didn’t make Song Jun soldiers nervous
Shao Hongyuan’s army, a basic warfare unit with a battalion of 500 people, advanced into the mountains, and the road in the mountains was difficult to move, not to mention the peasant army appeared from time to time.
It’s so late in the day that the peasant army gives full play to its specialty of night raids and frequently launches night raids on Song Jun, which makes the soldiers in Song Jun feel depressed.
I dare not walk quickly during the day and sleep at night for fear that the peasant army will attack them.
As a result, I finally entered the five camps in the mountains, and after five days, I couldn’t stay up. I retreated and said that the mountains were too dangerous to fight.
We can’t find the thief army, but the thief army can find us, and how can we fight this battle at night?
The number of casualties is not too much. More than 100 people were killed and 400 others were injured, but the first exploratory attack failed, which made Shao Hongyuan very careless and dealt a great blow to the morale of other troops.
At the end of the day, Shao Hongyuan and his troops had no experience in mountain warfare and could win the peasant army with low military literacy, but they didn’t expect the other side’s military literacy to be as lame as expected.
