Qin Feng approved the letter of war and agreed to fight to the death on the battlefield three days later!
What will be the reaction of Du Du and his generals when they see the approved letter of war?
Under normal circumstances, it must be both tense and relaxed.
The important thing is: the Tianwei Army is extremely powerful, and we must be prepared for a decisive battle with them. We must win this battle!
What's lax is: the decisive battle will take place in three days, and naturally everything will be fine within three days. You can take a good rest and recharge your batteries.
And Qin Feng took advantage of the opponent's mentality. He led his troops to steal the camp and rob the stronghold tonight. He caught the Jurchens by surprise and was sure to win!
Of course, this behavior is not considered betrayal, because Qin Feng promised to fight to the death in three days, but he did not promise not to conduct a sneak attack tonight.
When leading troops to fight, you need to be more flexible. Generals who blindly adhere to dogma will not be able to win the battle.
"The general is in charge of the entire army and it is not advisable to take risks easily. The matter of stealing camps and plundering strongholds should be left to the last general!"
"Leave it to the general!"
"Leave it to the general!"
…
After listening to Qin Feng's story, all the generals expressed their admiration.
Then again, although stealing a camp and robbing a stronghold is a killing move, it is also very dangerous. Many generals in history failed to steal a camp and rob a stronghold, but were besieged and died by the enemy instead.
Therefore, all the generals suggested that Qin Feng stay in the camp and lead his troops to steal the camp and rob the stronghold!
Qin Feng naturally disagreed. It was precisely because of the danger that he had to go in person. As for the generals, he chose four people, Ma Yong, Ma Wu, Zu Zeqing, and Cao Bianjiao, to go together, while the rest stayed at the camp!
………
details make a difference!
Now that we have decided to rob the camp tonight, we naturally have to make preparations.
First, four thousand elite soldiers were selected from the army, fed and drank well, and went into the tent to rest.
Rest until dusk, eat a small amount of water, exercise your muscles and bones again, and adjust your body and mind to the best condition!
Then wipe the armor, polish the weapons, and bring more fire starters. When the time comes, there will be a fire company.
The war horses are all black, brown, or chestnut, and none of them are white, as they are easily exposed at night. The horses' hooves are wrapped in thick cotton cloth to avoid making noise when moving.
All the accessories on soldiers and war horses that were easily reflective and made noise were removed.
…
At midnight, the moon and stars were sparse, and everything was ready.
After a simple mobilization, Qin Feng led four thousand elite soldiers out of the camp quietly and went to sneak attack the Jurchen camp outside Shanyin City.
In order to avoid exposing their whereabouts, the team did not go in a straight line, but made a wide circle to the east, preparing to launch a sneak attack from the side.
………
At the second watch, the team came to a large poplar forest. As long as they passed through this forest, they were not far from the Jurchen camp.
But then, something unexpected happened.
Thousands of Jurchen soldiers, fully armed and carrying fire starters, emerged from the woods and came face to face with the Tianwei Army. The soldiers on both sides were stunned for a moment. At a loss.
It turned out that Du Du and Qin Feng had coincided with each other and had also made the decision to personally lead troops to steal the camp and rob the stronghold tonight. They even chose the same marching route, and ended up bumping into each other.
"Whizzing!"
"Bang...bang!"
"Kill them all!"
"Kill the Army of Light!"
…
After a moment of silence, both sides reacted and immediately started fighting. For a while, the sound of flying arrows, the roar of muskets, the collision of weapons, the screams of people, the neighing of horses... mixed together and resounded. Quartet.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
In this kind of sudden encounter, there is no strategy at all. They just mix together and kill each other with all their strength. Whoever is more fierce will have the upper hand!
But both sides are fierce and fierce
The elite divisions were as ruthless as tigers and wolves, and their strength was almost the same. However, after a hard fight, the outcome was indistinguishable!
"Woo...wow...wow!"
Faced with this situation, Qin Feng and Du Du seemed to have a tacit understanding and issued the order to retreat almost at the same time.
The horn sounded, and the soldiers from both sides quickly broke away from contact, then lifted up the wounded and corpses on their side, carefully retreated, and went back to their camps.
All in all, this was the second contest between Qin Feng and Du Du. Both of them wanted to trick each other, but in the end they failed, and they ended up tied again!
…………
At dawn, Qin Feng led four thousand soldiers back to the camp, took off his armor, drank some water, and then sat in the Chinese army tent and closed his eyes to rest. His mood was extremely complicated, both depressed and excited!
What is depressing is that the plan that I worked so hard to plan to steal the camp and rob the village fell short, and my hard work was wasted. What a pity!
What's exciting is that Du Du is resourceful, brave and good at fighting. He is definitely a good general. Fighting against such a powerful opponent makes people excited, and winning will give you a greater sense of accomplishment.
On the contrary, if you meet a loser opponent, you will have nothing to be proud of if you win, and you may even feel embarrassed!
The question is, how can we defeat Dudu?
This guy is so cunning, he is almost as cunning as me. He must come up with a clever plan... no, a poisonous plan!
Qin Feng thought hard about it, but from dawn to noon, and from noon to afternoon, he couldn't figure out the plan, but it started to rain heavily.
"Boom...boom!"
"Whoa...whoa!"
Lightning thundered, the wind roared, and raindrops the size of soybean grains continued to fall, making a crackling sound on the ground, and soon formed small streams.
Logically speaking, if a person encounters rainy weather when he is depressed, his mood will become even more depressed.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, instead of being depressed, became happy. Sometimes he came to the door of the tent and looked up at the rain. Sometimes he returned to the tent and pulled out a map of Shanyin County and looked at it carefully. A river - Sanggan River.
The Sangqian River belongs to the Haihe River system, originating from Shanxi-Ningwu County, and then flowing from west to east, passing through Shanyin, Yingxian, Huairen, Datong... and finally entering Zhili.
These are not important.
The important thing is that a section of the Sanggan River is not far from the Tianwei Army Camp and the Jurchen Army Camp. If it rains heavily today, the river water will definitely rise. If a suitable location is chosen, the river embankment can be dug and the river water can be diverted. Leading to the Jurchen army camp, in that case, wouldn't it be possible to win without spending a single soldier?
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", this is what Guan Yun did when he flooded the Seventh Army.
Strategies can be imitated, but they may not be implemented in detail. You have to go and see the terrain in person.
…
The next morning, the heavy rain stopped.
After arranging the affairs in the camp, Qin Feng immediately left the camp with Xiong Da, Xiong Er and more than a hundred soldiers on horseback, then galloped northeast and soon arrived at the Sanggan River.
The embankment was relatively high, and there were a lot of vegetation growing on the slope. The horses couldn't get up, so the group had to dismount and walk up the embankment.
However, after boarding the embankment and taking a closer look, Qin Feng was disappointed. It turned out that since the early spring, the rainfall in northern Shanxi had been very small, so that the water level of the Sanggan River had dropped so much that the river bed was almost exposed in some places.
Although there was a heavy rain yesterday, which replenished some water sources for the river, the water level did not rise much. Even if the river embankments were dug, it would not be able to flood the Jurchen Army camp.
The water level is not high enough, what should I do?
If only God helped me, it would rain a few more times.
Or, build a dam in the middle of the river to store the river water and forcibly raise the water level... The amount of the project is too large and it cannot be done in the short term, and there are not enough manpower and material resources.
What else can be done?
"Whoa... whoa!"
Qin Feng stood on the river bank and was thinking hard when he saw someone nearby
There was a noise on a trail, and then a group of Jurchen soldiers emerged from the bushes. There were about a hundred people, headed by a general wearing a long tasseled helmet and red armor!
"Protect the General!"
"Protect Lord Belle!"
…
Seeing the appearance of the Jurchens, all the soldiers immediately drew their weapons. Xiong Da and Xiong Er held maces in one hand and stainless steel lion shields in the other, guarding Qin Feng closely.
At the same time, the Jurchens also discovered the mighty Tianwei army here and quickly drew out various weapons. Several of the soldiers raised their shields and tightly protected the red-armored general.
Both sides held weapons tightly, but no one took action: First, the river embankment was too narrow and could not be used.
The second is that the distance is too close, and I am worried that if I take action, I will hurt my general!
"Haha, we are really enemies, do you want to get together again?"
Qin Feng didn't know the red-armored general opposite, but his instinct told him that that person was the slave chief Du Du.
Obviously, Du Du coincided with him again and came up with the idea of Sanggan River. He came to check the water level and terrain, but they bumped into each other again.
what to do?
Rush over and kill him?
Qin Feng looked at the surrounding terrain and compared the number of people on both sides. If there was a head-on fight, his side would not be sure of winning.
In this case, let's outsmart it!
