The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 171 The battlefield is the best teacher
The [-] cavalry led by Ran Wu had arrived at the designated location, and they were hiding in a forest at the moment, except for a flock of startled birds, there was silence.

Yiqi ran into the forest without a sound, turned over and got off the horse, and with a pinch of lips, a string of clear birdsong immediately resounded through the forest.

After a while, there were three cuckoo cries in the forest.

As soon as the cry fell, a person jumped out of the forest, and entered the mountain forest together with the visitor.

Ran Wu leaned against a big tree and gnawed dry food.

Just now those two people came to Ran Wu and reported: "General, Hawkeye is back."

Hawkeye is the most elite scout in the entire Jiang family army, cavalrymen who can become Hawkeye are the elite among the elite, so becoming Hawkeye is the highest honor for all Jiangjia army cavalry.

"What's the situation?" Ran Wu asked after taking a mouthful of dry food.

"General, I have confirmed that the rear army of the Ming army has camped twenty miles south of here. And I can confirm that the leader of the rear army is Hong Chengchou." Hawkeye replied in a low voice.

"Hong Chengchou?" Ran Wu found a look of contempt on his face. Everyone knew that Hong Chengchou came to the valley to persuade him to surrender but was teased and ridiculed by the lord last time, so he had heard the name Hong Chengchou before.

Moreover, under the influence of Jiang Chuan, all the generals of Jiang's army felt contempt and contempt for Hong Chengchou.

Of course, in the eyes of these generals, apart from Jiang Chuan, who else in the world could fall into their eyes.

"How is the enemy's defense?" Ran Wu asked again.

"It's normal to set up a camp. The camp is circular. There are trenches dug outside the camp, and there are deer camps and horse repellents. Inside the camp, there is another layer of defense with carts. You can't see clearly from inside." Eagle Eye replied.

Ran Wu nodded after listening, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly ordered: "The whole army rests, and Hawkeye is on alert. Prepare to leave at Mao tomorrow."

A lieutenant beside him couldn't help asking curiously: "General, the enemy doesn't know where our army is at this time. If our army suddenly launches a night attack, they will definitely be able to make meritorious deeds in one fell swoop. Why do they have to rest at this time?"

Ran Wu turned around and glanced at the lieutenant general, and said slowly: "We can regard ourselves as invincible, but we can't treat the enemy as idiots. The Ming army just came out of Datong City, their morale is high, and their vigilance is high. They will definitely guard against our army Sneak attack. Although they don't know that our army is watching, but this is the basic common sense of marching and fighting. So if our army sneak attack, it will hit the enemy's blade, and the enemy will defend the stronghold. Our army is all cavalry. If you are not good at attacking fortifications, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses and return without success.

Furthermore, night raids are not as easy as you might imagine. The enemy defends the stronghold, occupies a convenient location, is familiar with the layout of one's own troops, and has obstacles in the way, so it is quick and convenient to mobilize.But our army doesn't know anything about it. If we attack rashly at night, it will cause confusion in command, separation of departments, and even kill each other in the dark because we don't know the enemy or ourselves.So, you remember, night raids are never the norm in warfare, only occasionally, and under certain conditions. "

The deputy general realized that the general was teaching him, and with a look of shame on his face, he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for the teaching, general, the last general is ignorant and reckless."

Ran Wu snorted coldly and said: "If you want to truly become the leader of an army, you must not only see with your eyes, but also with your heart. Before making every decision, you must think about the soldiers behind you. You lost your life due to a wrong decision. There is a saying of the hero that makes sense: "Despise the enemy strategically, but pay attention to all enemies tactically.", remember in the future, don't underestimate any of your enemies. In You cannot relax your vigilance until the enemy is completely down. Once you relax your vigilance, if you are a soldier, you may be the only one who dies. If you are the leader of an army, thousands of people will die after you Soldiers. Do you remember them all?"

Ran Wu's last words were addressed to a group of generals around him.

"The last general will follow the general's teachings, and in the future, he must be vigilant and self-reflecting, and be alert at all times!" All the generals clasped their fists and said in a low voice, obviously listening to these words.

It is true that the battlefield is always the best teacher.

"Okay, let's all go to bed. Tomorrow at Mao's hour, gather your energy and fight with this general." Ran Wu waved his hands and said in a deep voice.

"No!" There were passionate voices all around, and there was suppressed fighting intent in the voices.

…………

In the camp of the rear army of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou took a few personal soldiers to patrol around to check the defensive measures of the camp.

Ever since he saw the group of black-armored knights with stern faces and evil spirits last time, he has been feeling uneasy.

This feeling has always existed since he led the rear army to leave Datong City, and it has become stronger and stronger.

So he ordered to set up camp when the sky just darkened, because he was worried that if he continued to move forward, he might be attacked by the enemy.

Although he has 1 horses under his command, half of these 1 horses are newly recruited recruits who have been trained for less than two months.In addition, there are [-] civilian men in the camp to transport food, grass and luggage.

So he was very worried that once his own formation was attacked by the enemy, these recruits were likely to collapse in the first place.Once these five thousand recruits collapse, it is very likely that the remaining five thousand veterans will also collapse. At that time, the scene will be desperate.

That's why he ordered the camp to be set up early. With the camp as a barrier, if the enemy army wants to make a surprise attack, at least the recruits will not collapse so easily.

And with the camp I designed, I can definitely resist it for a while.As long as they can persist until dawn, when the reinforcements of the Chinese army arrive, it is still possible to attack the enemy from inside and outside, and maybe they can win a big victory.

So tonight is when the enemy is most likely to make a surprise attack, and he must be prepared.

Therefore, he has ordered that all [-] recruits and civilian husbands sleep, and the [-] veterans are divided into two shifts to guard.Moreover, all kinds of traps, kerosene and other things in the camp have been prepared.

As long as the enemy troops came to steal the camp, he would definitely make their heads bleed.Hong Chengchou still has this confidence.

And in order to confuse the enemy, he also deliberately put on an appearance of being loose on the outside and tight on the inside. On the surface, it looks like the whole camp is the same, but in fact it has already dug a hole and waited for the enemy to jump.

"Come on, if the enemy comes to steal the camp tonight, they will definitely let them come and go. If any battalion is defeated by the enemy and rushes in, all the officers below the guerrilla will be dealt with by military law."

As Hong Chengchou walked and watched, he gave strict orders to alert the battalions. Hearing this, the generals all felt awe-inspiring, cheered up one by one, opened their eyes wide, and observed the enemy army who might be hiding in the darkness and watching them.

　The fifth update arrives.It took only 1 minute to finally fulfill the promise.My wrist feels like it's going to break.good night everybody.
