Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

On the contrary, Xixia felt that there was something wonderful. As long as the Western army was mobilized, the pressure faced by Xixia would be greatly reduced, and troops would inevitably be sent to occupy the land previously occupied by the Song Dynasty.

All parties are pursuing their own wishful thinking.

But at this moment, Su Xia decided to start a southern expedition while Zhao Ji had not yet established a firm foothold. In short, Song Huizong Zhao Ji must not be allowed to reorganize an army to conquer him, and the enemy could not be allowed to gain a foothold.

Guo Degang, Li Gaosheng and others built cannons and battleships. For Su Xia. Now we still need to occupy more steel and coal mines. Steel is the skeleton of modern wars, especially gunpowder wars, and must not be lacking!

Huainan East Road came into Su Xia's sight. As a very wealthy area in the Northern Song Dynasty, Huainan East Road governed ten states: Sizhou, Haizhou, Taizhou, Chuzhou, Bozhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Chuzhou, Zhenzhou Zhouzhou, Tongzhou.

Su Xia looked at the map and prepared to use the navy as the main force to attack and forcefully land in Haizhou, thus opening up the connection between Huainan East Road and Jingdong East Road and forcing the Northern Song Dynasty to surrender!

Haizhou is Lianyungang. Haizhou is known as "the giant town in Huaihai", "the famous county in the East China Sea", and "the first city in the east of Huaihai".

However, before Su Xia decided to march south, the first thing she considered was to destroy Duan Pengju. Su Xia, who could not figure out where Duan Pengju would send his troops, already felt something was wrong.

This thing is like a time bomb that doesn't know when it will explode.

But once it explodes, it is likely to cause landslides.

Fortunately, Su Xia's headquarters has its own spies everywhere, and there are still many secret sentries on open posts. These people can effectively monitor the situation for themselves.

To prevent strangers from entering by mistake, Su Xia suddenly thought that maybe she could learn from the children's team. Only by fully mobilizing everyone and the people can we completely defeat the opponent and defeat any opponent that is difficult to defeat.

Such thoughts, whether Song Huizong Zhao Ji or Gao Qiu, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others thought, are things that they can't figure out even if they think about it.

So where is Duan Pengju at this moment?

Duan Pengju led his [-] light cavalry into the hinterland.

When the two armies are fighting, it is impossible for all places to be on guard and guard, with guards and guards everywhere.

There must be some flaws. 800 people is not a small number, but it is also not a large team. If they were broken down into parts, these 800 people would be really hard to find.

Just when the Chinese army tent in Qingzhou Prefecture was still thinking about this.

Suddenly, an order captain (low-level officer) came to report with a hint of excitement on his face and a windy step: "Report to Mr. Su, Brigadier Lin sent a battle report. Their cavalry unit fought with a group of soldiers. After passing After a fierce battle, this cavalry team was wiped out, and there were probably more than 100 people."

"When did this happen"

"That's the battle report just sent this morning."

"Does this cavalry team wear clothes that look like the Song Army?"

"The battle report is here!"

The captain immediately handed over the detailed battle report to Su Xia.

The more she looked at the battle report, the more serious Su Xia's eyes became.

Xiong Hui on the side looked at the battle report and the battle damage ratio, which was probably three to one between the enemy and us, and said: "What's wrong, sir, why do you look a little nervous? Didn't we win the battle?" ?”

"The battle report sent from Lin Chong shows that this group of people used very traditional tactics. They spread out in a battle formation, but they wore the clothes of ordinary people. Even if they fight to the end, they will never surrender. Our cavalry The brigade is ready to work, is well-equipped, and has many times his number, so the battle will be successful.

Therefore, this is most likely Duan Pengju's cavalry team, who were disguised as ordinary people and broken into pieces. "

Xiong Hui hurriedly asked the captain: "What did the captured sergeant say?"

"Back to your lord, Brigadier Lin's cavalry brigade fought with them. After a few rounds, all the officers were killed. No captured soldiers were found. The soldiers did not know the orders and did not know anything when asked. Brigadier Lin escorted them to Qingzhou Mansion and returned them. It takes half a day.”

Su Xia took a breath of cold air: "You really put yourself to death to survive. Although we killed 800 of the 100 dead soldiers, Duan Pengju still had 700 in his hands. Even if Lin Chong captured these in his hands, Even though the cavalry was given to us, we could not find the information we wanted. These orders were probably only given to the centurion in charge of the 100-man cavalry team, but for officers at the level of squad leader, it may not be known. "

"If this is really the case, it would be too scary. This Duan Pengju is the one who is responsible for big things."

"I think they must have agreed to gather at a certain place in advance. The 800-man team should be divided into eight 100-man cavalry teams, divided into several groups to meet at a certain point, but where can they meet?"

Su Xia frowned, his eyes focused on the map and wrinkled into a knot.

Duan Pengju wants to carry out a "beheading operation" on himself?

However, this seems unlikely. After all, not just anyone can come in where I am.

In Qingzhou Prefecture, there is a detachment responsible for the defense recently, and there is also a security brigade responsible for their own protection, with a strength several times that of Duan Pengju.

Then he shouldn't be able to hit the stone with an egg.

Could it be that they disguised themselves as ordinary people and went to fight guerrillas in the countryside?

No, that would be even more difficult for Duan Pengju.

They did not wear Northern Song military uniforms and strictly kept secrets. This was in sharp contrast to Gu Tingye's Tianwu Forbidden Army.

The so-called, abnormal things must have demons.

Duan Pengju has suffered so much. What on earth is he going to do with this small elite cavalry unit?

Su Xia thought well. Duan Pengju's cavalry unit is indeed going to do something big!

And he does great things in silence.

Outside Qingzhou Mansion, seven small troops gathered within two hours.

Seeing that there was still one cavalry team left, the deputy general on the side asked: "General, do we have to wait a moment..."

Duan Pengju looked deeply at the deputy general beside him.

Obviously, the deputy general also guessed what Duan Pengju was thinking, and hesitated to say:

"General,,, you mean?"

Duan Pengju's expression changed and he said bluntly, "No wait, they must have fought with Su Xia's cavalry. It's very possible that they have even been wiped out. We don't wait for time. Attack immediately. Brothers, pull out your swords and follow." Let me fight!
