While Zhu Chongba was thinking about these things, the smoke was getting closer and closer.
And there seems to be more and more smoke and dust.
At this time, Xu Da couldn't help it anymore, "Brother, give the order to attack!"
Zhu Chongba was not affected by Xu Da's urging, and was still observing the increasingly intense smoke carefully.
Because if the number of people on the other side is small, then the smoke and dust will be very limited. Only when the number of people on the other side is large, the smoke and dust will become more and more intense.
Zhu Chongba was very aware of the fighting power of Xu Da and his two thousand men.
If they were to lay an ambush, they could only find that small group of Yuan Ting's troops to carry out an annihilation battle.
If it is Yuan Ting's large army, the combat effectiveness of Xu Da and others is simply not good.
Zhu Chongba generally would not take risks. It is said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger in a hundred battles.
After all, for Zhu Chongba, his current strategy is to defeat these Yuan Ting armies with absolute or relative superior strength.
Seeing that the smoke was getting stronger and stronger, under this situation, Zhu Chongba felt that they should not attack. The opponent had too many people, at least two to three thousand people.
Moreover, Zhu Chongba deduced from the sound of the opponent's horseshoes and various other details that they were really a new force. In other words, they were very energetic and well prepared.
For such troops, Zhu Chongba would generally not touch them, because he only wanted to touch those who had lost their spirit, and those soldiers were all weak in energy. In this case, Zhu Chongba could give full play to their ability to wait for work. of this advantage.
Because what kind of strategy to adopt must be based on the current conditions as a prerequisite for consideration.
If the two thousand soldiers behind Zhu Chongba were trained by him, then he must have ordered the attack, because Zhu Chongba's training standards were very high.
But under the current circumstances, Zhu Chongba did not dare to go head-on. After all, the combat effectiveness of the rebels led by Xu Da was too limited.
Because Zhu Chongba did not order an attack, the cavalry force quickly disappeared from in front of them.
Think about it, they are still cavalry, and the two thousand rebels led by Zhu Chongba are still infantry.
Think about it, how could infantry defeat cavalry? They are tall and powerful, and their weapons are also very powerful.
If Zhu Chongba rashly orders an attack this time, it is estimated that the group of rebel soldiers brought by Zhu Chongba will be in trouble.
Although the cavalry had passed, Zhu Chongba still did not let his group of rebel soldiers leave the place, and still stayed on standby.
To be honest, some people are already a little impatient with Zhu Chongba's arrangement.
Because not all rebel soldiers listened to Zhu Chongba like Xu Da.
Because they thought this was what Xu Da meant, they didn't know that Zhu Chongba was leading them now.
So these centurions came to Xu Da, "I said centurion, look at the good opportunity just now, why didn't we go down and attack? If we attacked, these cavalry wouldn't be able to escape at all. !”
Although Xu Da did not dare to say anything dissatisfactory to Zhu Chongba, he still had something to say when Xu Da reprimanded his subordinates and centurions.
Especially now that Xu Da is feeling angry and has not yet said that they are looking for bad luck, then Xu Da will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
"What do you know? You just saw that they are cavalry, and there are more people than us. There must be at least two or three thousand people. Do you think you can eat them if you go down? Are you as fast as their horses? Do you have weapons? Have their penises grown? Ah, will you be eaten by them all if you go down? Have you ever thought about this problem? "
This time, Xu Da vented all his anger on these people, "Go back and stay well. Don't move. We still have dry food with us. If you are hungry, you can eat some dry food yourself and be ready at any time." fighting!"
Xu Da is their immediate boss, and Xu Da is brave and resourceful in combat, so they still respect Xu Da very much.
After Xu Da roared a few times, the centurions went down in despair.
However, these centurions still felt very good. After all, Xu Da had told them to prepare for the attack, and the attack would start at any time.
Zhu Chongba didn't care at all about what they said. All Zhu Chongba cared about now was the situation on the battlefield.
The place where Zhu Chongba and the others are ambushing now can be said to be a very important place.
Let's put it this way, no matter which direction you go, you have to pass by the place where Zhu Chongba and the others are ambushing.
Because Zhu Chongba has lived as a monk in the past few years, he has studied a lot of Buddhist scriptures, so Zhu Chongba is said to be very patient.
Because opportunities are not always available, all opportunities need to be waited for.
If there is not enough time, then this opportunity will not appear, then you have to wait and then actively prepare.
Xu Da knew Zhu Chongba quite well. He felt that Zhu Chongba's strategic intention was very clear, which was to use his relatively strong military force to defeat the opponent.
For cavalry, they would definitely not dare to touch them, so what they would dare to touch would be those small groups of infantry. Only in this way can they take advantage of their ambush.
Zhu Chongba said in his heart that it would be great if the rebels had landmines!
Think about it, there are all mines laid underground. In this case, Zhu Chongba will not be afraid of any cavalry, and he can eliminate as many of them as he can.
But the main thought was that he didn't know if there were landmines in this era, and he also knew that there was gunpowder at this time, so there was no research on this fire evaporation attack yet, but there were opportunities, and he wanted to study it carefully.
Originally, Zhu Chongba had very little interest in military affairs.
But now the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that the military is quite interesting! Yes, Zhu Chongba felt that this firearm must be taken very seriously.
However, Zhu Chongba still said that things should take place slowly.
At this time, the only way to fight against the opponent's cold weapons is with this kind of cold weapon.
Moreover, Zhu Chongba and the others were conducting a surprise attack this time, so they would have to ambush a few more times at most before quickly retreating to Haozhou City.
His goal was to disrupt Yuan Ting's deployment and buy time for the Haozhou City rebels to gather forces.
Therefore, their two thousand troops had to return to Haozhou City and join up with other rebel troops. This was what Zhu Chongba had to do.
