During the discussion, Han Baizhan suggested dividing the 5,000 people into five teams, and then selecting ten generals and deputy generals to lead them.
After all, these 5,000 people are neither too many nor too few. In addition, since he is not a sergeant trained by himself, it is not possible that everyone can obey orders and act. If they swarm around like headless flies, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult. succeed.
The main reason is that everyone fights alone and has not received formal training. However, it is obviously too late to train troops now, so it is the best way to separate people and lead them.
Among the more than 2,000 members of the Beggar Clan, one team was led by You Tanzhi and Shi Jian, and the other team was led by Quan Guanqing and Wu Changfeng.
Firstly, they are members of the Beggar Clan so that they can obey orders. Secondly, compared to other martial arts heroes, the Beggar Clan is relatively organized. One is the leader of the Beggar Clan, and the other is one of the four elders. It's perfect to lead a team each.
Although Quan Guanqing was cunning and not a good person, it was undeniable that his title of "Scholar from all over the world" was not for nothing. It was best for him to do things like using chicken feathers as arrows. Therefore, another He is also the captain of the team. ❅
Although Wu Changfeng had one of his arms chopped off by Yun Zhonghe, after more than two years of recuperation, he has gradually regained some of his power.
Knowing that they were fighting against the Khitans, he volunteered to follow them.
In appreciation of his prestige in the gang, he was given the position of deputy general.
As for the other three teams, one team was led by You Ji You Ju, one team was led by "Tie Pen Judge" Shan Zheng and Bu Ping Tao Ren, and one team was led by Murong Fu and Murong Bo.
As for these five thousand people, they were named after the five flags of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Murong Fu was the leader of the golden flag, Shan Zheng was the leader of the wooden flag, You Ji was the leader of the water flag, and You Tanzhi was the leader of the fire flag. Guanqing is the master of Tuqi, so it is convenient for deployment!
After dividing the personnel, Han Baizhan took out the map he had prepared in advance and said that by crossing the Bohai Sea from Dengzhou to Kaizhou, Liaodong, he could avoid the Liao army's eyes and go around to the enemy's rear for a surprise attack.
Everyone saw that Han Baizhan had planned it out and said it clearly and logically, so they couldn't help but be impressed. When they heard that they could surprise the Liao army from the rear, they all turned red with excitement and felt that this matter had great potential.
But before they could get too happy, Han Baizhan said again: "We are not going to fight the Liao army. With our small number, it is not enough to show off to the opponent. Now the Liao army is stationing troops outside Yanmen Pass under the guise of avenging the king of Nanyuan. It has been several months, and if the imperial court had not tried its best to appease him, and if Zhezong had passed away, it would have been a critical moment for Huizong to succeed to the throne, and the Song-Liao War would have begun!"
"The Liao Kingdom's 500,000-strong army needs the imperial court to be responsible for supplying food and grass every day outside Yanmen Pass, so that the war can be suspended temporarily. However, according to sources from the front, in addition to the imperial court being responsible for the expenses of the Liao Army during the cessation of the war, the Liao Kingdom The emperor is also constantly escorting grain and grass from Beijing to the rear for supplies. It is estimated that in less than a month, when the grain and grass are ready, he will directly send troops to Yanmen Pass!"
"And what we want to do is to rob the grain and grass and cut off the Liao army's rear supplies."
"With the Liao Kingdom's 500,000-strong army, food and grass are definitely the top priority. Once we find out that the food and grass have been robbed, we will definitely send people and horses to pursue them. At that time, we will divide them and retreat while fighting, leaving a group of seamen. The ships will respond, but the Liao people are not good at naval warfare, so they will definitely not chase and fight!"
"The Book of War says: Courage is not enough to rely on, so make a plan before using troops."
"As long as we formulate a good plan, although it is not enough to resist the Liao army head-on, as long as we build momentum first, more martyrs will naturally defect to the rebel army. By then, if we strengthen our troops, we will have a chance to compete with the Liao army."
"It should be noted that there are more than tens of thousands of us Han people, how can we compare with these Yi Di?"
Han Baizhan was worthy of being a commander in the army. He spoke with a calm demeanor. His words not only analyzed and controlled the battle situation, but were also inspiring. Hearing this made You Ji, Shan Zheng and others excited.
However, Murong Fu knew that Han Baizhan was just a way for the general to encourage his soldiers when they were marching and fighting.
Deliberately describing the enemy as vulnerable to attack, like an ant, in fact, it is not easy to achieve the goals he said?
With their number of 5,000, the Liao Kingdom only needs to send 10,000 cavalry to pursue them, which is enough for them to drink a pot. After suffering a big loss, it is estimated that there will be few people who are so happy.
Some people may even choose to quit.
Fortunately, Han Baizhan was right about one thing, that is, if the name is known, more people will join the team.
It was only a matter of time before Song and Liao started a war. When that happened, he could use the private soldiers he raised to build momentum, expand his team, and create a grand occasion where many people would join the rebel army.
In this way, he can blatantly recruit troops in the name of a rebel!
After Han Baizhan had all the plans drawn up, night came unknowingly, but everyone involved looked excited and seemed to want to hear Han Baizhan's brilliant strategy.
After learning that they were going to set off tomorrow, the heroes waiting outside the house felt as if they had been given a shot of blood. Under the arrangements of You Ji and You Ju, they went to rest full of energy.
Murong Fu and his party returned to the small courtyard prepared for them by You Ji.
The room was brightly lit with candles. Azi and the others had gone down to rest. Only Murong Fu, Han Baizhan, Murong Bo, Feng BoE and You Tanzhi were still holding candles and talking at night.
Murong Bo said excitedly: "Mr. Han is really a great talent. The tactics you formulated today really amaze me!"
If Han Baizhan hadn't known that Murong Bo was Murong Fu's father, he would have asked where he found this fool.
He smiled coquettishly and said: "The old gentleman is exaggerating. In fact, the situation of this battle is still very unfavorable to us, and time is a little tight."
They are not yet familiar with the terrain in Liaodong, and there is only one month left. By the time they have surveyed the terrain and laid out their retreat route, it will take at least ten days, plus the time to travel. Calculating this, the timing needs to be just right.
Taking into account the right time, location, and harmony, they could only barely occupy the last person and harmony. Where is the beauty of the so-called war on paper?
Although Murong Fu didn't know much about the art of war, he had also studied Wu Mu's Art of War and had a certain control over the situation. He knew that this battle might be difficult.
Sometimes, it doesn't mean that they can jump over walls and run over war horses on the plains.
In today's world, the only ones who can defeat the Liao army on horseback are the Jurchens living in the bitter cold land. Now that the Jurchens have not yet risen, the Liao Kingdom is the well-deserved number one in the world.
Of course, Murong Fu still has three thousand ace black armor soldiers that he has not released. They are the key to his decision to pacify the world, and they will probably be kept until the end.
Just imagine, three thousand invincible black armor soldiers suddenly appeared in the enemy's base camp. The scene was so unexpected that even a million troops could rush out. One can imagine its power.
