The straight-line distance between Quanzhou and Guizhou is about 260 miles. At a speed of 30 miles a day, it will take almost nine days to get there. But I don’t know why Zhang Luan asked everyone to march in a hurry. Maybe he wanted to win a quick victory! Yu Le knew that something bad was going to happen. This was a sign of defeat! The Han army seized the opportunity when the Tang army's distant troops were exhausted to set up an ambush and defeated the Tang army. Now that you know the result, you have to make corrections and not make mistakes! Not for anything else, but for these four hundred and thirty-seven children to go back alive!
Yu Le hated himself for not writing down the place and time when the Tang army failed in this war. Damn it! Since it was an ambush, it must be in a dense forest where it is easy to hide! Yu Le thought that the worst solution was to set fire to the mountain. As for environmental protection issues, it would take more than a thousand years to reach modern times. All kinds of trees, grass, and flowers can grow again.
"Cheng Hao, have your people found any information?"
"Report, Mr. Principal, there is no reply yet."
"How did you let them sneak into Guizhou City?"
"Master Principal, I asked them to disguise themselves as beggars and sneak in. There are five of them in total."
"How many days have they been gone?"
"Go, I've been there for ten days." Cheng Hao knew that something might have happened, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
Yu Le can't scold him for being brainless now. Why are there no remedies and methods?
"Are you still staying with me now to protect me?"
Cheng Hao left sweating profusely. He really deserved it. He had learned these things in the military academy. There must be at least three sets of plans and three sets of remedial plans. He was still immature! I was so excited that I forgot everything.
Yu Le was very angry, but now was not the time for punishment, and he could not damage his momentum. Yu Le called Li Guang and Qin Zhe, and after giving them instructions, they left quietly.
Zhang Luan knew that Yu Le privately arranged tasks for the student army. There were many people around him, so someone would report it. Zhang Luan didn't ask, just let him go! At this time, Zhang Luan's mentality was very fatal. He was thinking about defeat rather than victory. Although he couldn't win this battle, he just didn't want a complete defeat. Don't lose too badly. If the soldiers knew that the leader had this mentality, they would basically have the intention to kill Zhang Luan.
Of course Yu Le didn't know what Zhang Luan was thinking, but Yu Le could feel that Zhang Luan was not very motivated and had no will to win. This was really not good. The coach had no belief in winning, so the soldiers below would die. Unfathomable.
Yu Le is trying his best to save this historically doomed battle.
"Report, Mr. Principal, I have searched all the rivers in Guizhou. This is a map." Ruan Che handed Yu Le a map. Then he continued: "Sir, we have also found out that the general leading the opponent's army is Wu Huai'en of the Han Dynasty. He has 5,000 troops, but there are only more than a thousand people guarding the city. We also found that there is a ferry fifty miles away from Guizhou City. The river should be a branch of the Kwai River. The wooden bridge was built four days ago, but it disappeared yesterday. It may have been demolished by the enemy after crossing the river, so the villain hurriedly came back to report." The reporter was the navy company commander Ruan Che.
Yu Le saw that Ruan Che was soaked, and knew that he was coming back to report the news without stopping. This navy had become a secret agent, and the captain Cheng Hao was really incompetent.
Yu Le hurriedly took out the map and calculated the time and location. It is possible that the Han army used this small river to hide their marching route and then ambush somewhere. This was something Zhang Luan had not discovered before.
Yu Le found a place called Chengcun on the map. This place should be where the Han army was hiding. It was surrounded by mountains and forests. The official road passed through a canyon. There were definitely dangers to defend. The weak in attack and the strong in defense. place. Yu Le hurriedly reported the situation to Zhang Luan.
"Yu Le, do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?" Zhang Luan looked at Yu Le expressionlessly. This expression surprised Yu Le. He didn't know what kind of medicine Zhang Luan was selling in his gourd. "Sir, I think this official Either defeat the ambush enemy first and then capture the city; or capture the city first and then defeat the enemy."
"So which one do you prefer?"
"Sir, I tend to defeat the enemy first. Since we know their deployment and strength, why not defeat them with superior strength?"
"Tell me about your specific plan?"
"Yes, sir. Your Majesty's plan is to first use our student army to disguise themselves as enemy troops and go deep into the enemy's interior at night, burning the enemy camp as a signal. Then your Excellency will lead the army to attack and destroy the enemy's army in one fell swoop. Then you can We can easily capture Guizhou City."
Zhang Luan thought for a while, and then said to Le: "This plan is feasible, you go ahead and make arrangements! You will set off early tomorrow morning, and a large group of people will follow behind."
"Yes, sir. Our student army can reach Chengcun within one day with light equipment."
"Then we will launch the attack at midnight tomorrow evening."
"Yes, sir. I will go and prepare now." Yu Le turned around and left the military tent.
After Zhang Luan watched Yu Le leave, he sighed and said, "This son is a hero!"
Yu Le returned to his military tent in high spirits and called for a meeting to issue tasks.
"Qin Zhe, Li Guang, when you are approaching Chengzhuang, all of you put on Han army uniforms and disguised yourself as Han soldiers. At this time, you sneaked into the enemy camp, found the granary, and set it on fire. We will use the banner of burning the military camp. Zhang Your Excellency will lead the crowd to encircle and suppress the Han army. Ruan Che, you lead the navy and the remaining members of the intelligence team to take advantage of the chaos to find the enemy general Wu Huai'en. It is best to capture him alive, but you can also kill him, but you must bring his head back. Leng Gang, you ride The army is very important. Enter the enemy camp within a quarter of an hour after the fire breaks out. Remember to tie the horsetails to the branches. When at a distance, each person holds two torches and shouts to capture Wu Huai'en. This is to prevent Mr. Zhang's reinforcements from not being in time. When you arrive. Remember, this is a sneak attack, so everyone must be strict with themselves according to what they learned in school not to do during a sneak attack.
"This is our first time participating in a war, including you, so calmness is crucial. You are the backbone of this team, and you are responsible for the entire team, so you can't mess up, especially when there is a fight. If you mess up, , your team will also be in chaos, and this battle will also test your true abilities. In addition, you must remember your mission. We must not only win but also try to avoid losses, especially the lives of our brothers, you know? ? If you find that someone has made a mistake during the action, beating or scolding is not allowed. You must comfort and provide guidance and correction. The more critical the situation is, the more encouraging you must be, rather than being discouraged, you know?"
"Yes, Mr. Principal. Please follow your instructions!"
When the order was conveyed to each student, the students became excited. Yu Le looked at the cheerful students in front of him and was not happy. Such young boys should be enjoying the sunshine of knowledge in school at this time, as the teacher's grandfather wrote It says: "Just a young boy who was my classmate, in his prime; he is full of scholarly energy, and scolds Fang Qiu. He points out the country and inspires writing, and the filth of thousands of households is the same." Rather than entering a life-and-death battlefield. I don’t know how many people will survive after this battle!
Zhang Luan also went out of the military tent to see the student soldiers marching out, with a look of melancholy on his face! Looking at these children, whose average age was sixteen or seventeen, Zhang Luan sighed!
"Company Commander, if we kill the enemy general this time, can we be promoted?"
"Company Commander, how many enemies can we kill to get promoted?"
"Company Commander, why do we need to write a suicide note?"
This is what Yu Le suddenly remembered, and Yu Le also wrote that when there is no guarantee that he will come back alive, a suicide note is the best explanation for his family. When all the members started writing suicide notes, it was obvious that they were no longer as happy as when they first received the task! Everyone knows the seriousness of the matter, and many students cried while writing!
Fortunately, there was no one pulling the strings and no one wanted to quit! This is something Yu Le is very happy about. Zhang Luan was also surprised. It was the first time he heard about writing a suicide note. Maybe it was because they were all scholars! When Zhang Luan took over the suicide notes of more than 400 people from Yu Le, he hugged Yu Le affectionately and said, "Protect yourself and wait for the army to arrive."
"Yes, sir."
Yu Le gave the order and everyone set off! The entire student army sang "I am a Soldier", and of course the lyrics were changed by Yu Le. Other troops are also paying attention to this child army. When they heard the students singing "I am a soldier", many people were infected and inspired.
"Sir, we shouldn't let these children die!"
"Yes! Sir, we, we guys are not dead yet!"
The singing is getting louder and louder, more and more passionate! Children die alone...
