Chapter 171 Robbery Camp

Li Ming's plan is very simple, which is to take advantage of the darkness of the night. Although this is a common strategy, it is undeniable that it is very useful. Since ancient times, many famous generals have fallen on this night attack. Moreover, his army is in secret and his advancement is very fast. I believe that the enemy will not guess his whereabouts. Therefore, sneaking into the enemy's camp while the night is still a wonderful strategy.

The horse's hooves were covered with thick cowhide and straw ropes. After a short rest, the entire army stopped after eating dry food. According to the information from the intelligence personnel, they went to the nearest Shuncheng garrison camp here. Along the way, Li Mingyan ordered the entire army to strictly prohibit sound and lighting. With the weak starlight and the leadership of several local veterans, the entire army slowly moved towards their destination.

Finally, at dawn, the news of the discovery of the enemy camp came from the front. According to the scheduled plan, Li Ming issued an order to prepare for the attack.

Since the detailed action plan has been determined in advance, no one needs to speak. After hearing the order to start the action, each unit quickly reached its intended attack position.

As Li Ming's operation signal was issued, a company of the rangers who were in the clearance mission turned on the searchlight in their hands towards the military camp. Suddenly, the dark camp was clear, and the rangers of the company rode forward in the light, waved the rope in their hands, and put the rope in front on the wooden fence around the camp. Then, almost at the same time, all the rangers rode their horses and turned their heads at the same time, and began to run wildly in the opposite direction.

With loud noises, the solid fence was dragged by horses and fell to the ground with a loud bang. In a blink of an eye, the wooden barrier on one side of the enemy camp was cleared, and several high watchtowers driven by the wooden fence were not spared. As the wooden fence fell to the ground, they also fell down. Several sentries who were dozing on the spot were smashed to their brains break, becoming the earliest victims of this battle.

After completing the mission, the clearing cavalry hid far away, holding a bright searchlight in his hands to illuminate the subsequent troops. The heavy infantry, who had already been on standby, made a neat shout at the command, and then rushed into the enemy's barracks with firm and rapid steps.

The soldiers of Shuncheng who were sleeping soundly were awakened by the noisy sounds outside. In addition to a few of them reacted, most of the soldiers were lying on the bed and didn't know what happened. A few of them even had a bad temper and started cursing. No wonder, it was dawn that most people were sleeping properly and were awakened at this time. No wonder they were angry, but it seems that the person who woke them up this time would not apologize to them for this matter.

The heavy infantry quickly broke through the fence that was being pulled down, and in groups of five people, they began to assault each tent. First, they used the sharp blade in their hands to cut the tents into one big hole, and then a group rushed up and rushed in. Under the protection of each other, as if they were entering a no-man's realm, they soon sent the confused soldiers to hell. Then, they rushed out from the other side of the tent and began to kill another tent.

Soon, the heavy infantry had quickly advanced into the middle of the enemy's camp. During this period, they had never encountered any resistance. This was a one-sided massacre, so that the soldiers who rushed to the front were a little weak after chopping their hands.

At this time, the rangers on the periphery of the enemy camp began to guard the camp closely, shooting and killing the fleeing enemy at any time, and at the same time lighting the heavy infantry entering the camp. They had no way to rush into the camp to fight, which was also determined by the characteristics of the cavalry. There were many tents in the camp and there were many obstacles. When the cavalry entered, they would be tripped and overturned. Moreover, this battle mainly involved rushing into the enemy's tent to kill people. The cavalry was unable to complete this work on horseback, so they had to do some logistical support.

After the night before dawn, a faint white fish belly appeared in the sky, making the dark earth begin to have some light. Under the illumination of the sky, the people on the opposite side could see each other clearly and pile up. At this time, the soldiers of Shuncheng had completely reacted and had begun to organize some small-scale counterattacks, but unfortunately, they were too far from Li Ming's heavy infantry. Even if they began to resist, they could not stop the opponent's attack at all. Soon, sporadic counterattacks were defeated by the opponent, and the soldiers of Shuncheng who could already see the war situation began to have successively deserted soldiers.

They did not come with a belief like the soldiers on Biquan Island. They joined the army with a kind of belief. They came purely for the sake of having enough food or being forced. So when they saw that the strength of the two sides was too far apart, they began to flee in all directions. But unfortunately, their luck was really bad this time. The Rangers who had been fighting outside for a long time had been impatient. When they saw an enemy escape, they pounced on them like a hunting dog that saw a hare, pulled out their sabre and slashed them hard. Facing such a huge difference in strength between the enemy and us, they felt that using crossbow arrows was too boring, so they both pulled out the sabre that they could only use when they were desperate.

The soldiers who escaped thought they could escape from heaven, but they did not expect that there were still a group of ferocious cavalry on the periphery who were kicking them. Since the sky was already light and the infantry had already penetrated into the enemy camp, the searchlights of the rangers outside had been turned off. Therefore, the escaped Shuncheng soldiers did not see the rangers wandering outside. When they saw them, everything was too late. The curved sabers in the rangers' hands had fallen from the sky, like chopping watermelons, quickly chopping their heads to the ground. In a blink of an eye, most of the Shuncheng soldiers who escaped from the camp were stunned.

Seeing this situation, some soldiers with more flexible heads began to give up escaping. It was obvious that they could not run away with four legs on both feet. Instead of being cut off their heads by the enemy as a target, it would be better to kneel down and surrender like this. Maybe they could even come back with a life. Therefore, when the Rangers turned around, they threw away their weapons and knelt down and shouted for surrender. Seeing that they did this, the other soldiers who were originally going to continue to escape also reacted and knelt down and begged for mercy, making the Rangers' sabers not knowing whether they should cut them down.

Li Ming, who had been paying attention to the situation of the war, discovered these situations on the periphery in time. Seeing someone surrendered, he hurriedly ordered the messenger next to him: "If you send the order, the rangers on the periphery will draw out a company of troops to accept the surrender. As long as those who surrender sincerely will not be abused, let them remember that we are the benevolent and righteous troops."

The messenger agreed loudly and hurried down to pass the command. In a short while, a company of rangers were separated and scattered around the camp to receive the surrendered soldiers. The others were still galloping on horseback, waving the sabers in their hands. Seeing that the one who resisted was a slash, it made no Shuncheng soldiers who dared to resist outside the camp, which made some of them feel deeply unsatisfied.

This one-sided war ended with Li Ming's army's victory. Looking at the bodies of Shuncheng soldiers all over the ground, the broken camp tents and the fences, Li Ming didn't feel much joy. The victory of the war was long as he expected, with a regiment of heavy infantry and a battalion of rangers to deal with more than 5,000 scattered soldiers. If he could not win easily, Li Ming simply went to jump into the river and committed suicide. Moreover, based on the precise information, he caught the enemy off guard while the enemy was unprepared, making this war actually an opportunity for his army to train troops. Therefore, the victory was long as Li Ming expected. The current victory should be regarded as adding a little confidence to his soldiers.

Ren Yong regained his high spirits at this time. At this time, he was carrying a head high and under the morning glow, galloping rapidly among the crowd with his might. He also made a loud laugh from time to time, which caused the soldiers around him to cheer.

Li Ming frowned slightly. To be honest, he hated this kind of showing off his power. In his impression, it seemed that only villains would do this. Although he knew that perhaps Ren Yong was just too excited and acted so out of line, as a commander, being unable to control his emotions would have a very bad impact on his subordinates.

So he pointed at Ren Yong who was running and ordered the messenger beside him: "Let him go to my tent immediately." After saying that, he stopped looking at the cheering scene in front of him, and turned around and entered the tent of the tent that had just been set up.

When Ren Yong rushed in excitedly, he happened to see Li Ming's gloomy face, like a basin of cold water poured down, which immediately woke up from his excitement and began to vent his trepidation of Li Ming's intentions.

"Are you very happy to kill the enemy?" Li Ming looked at him coldly and scolded: "As a battalion commander, you are already a senior general in our army. Why are you still as restless as a young man? Last time in Linbin City, it was because you were unable to hold on, which led to the death of more than 3,000 excellent rangers. Why haven't you learned a lesson yet? Of course, it's worth winning over the enemy. I can understand this, but

It was your behavior that was really too much. Is it worth it? We are a benevolent and righteous teacher. I want everyone in the world to understand this, and your behavior is equivalent to smearing us. You must remember that you are a commander and the object of your subordinates' attention. You did this just now. Wouldn't your subordinates learn from it in the future? If my soldiers are like you, where will I put my reputation? Have you realized that you were just in front of that?

So many subordinates are showing off their power in front of so many prisoners? They all do what you do, how can I accept surrendered soldiers in the future? What do those surrendered soldiers think? Ren Yong, this is the first time I criticize you face to face today. I hope you can remember the lessons of today. In order not to wipe out your face, I have specially spent everyone, and I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. You are the general I promoted by myself. As we expand to me, you

It is better to take on more important tasks. I don’t want you to stay in your future work. Do you understand? In order to punish your behavior today, I decided to deduct your three-month salary and lower your rank by another level. After this war, I went to the commander to be punished. If there is any improvement in three months, you will still restore your original rank. Otherwise, you will be the company commander." After that, Li Ming waved his hand impatiently, so he could go down.

Ren Yong was so scared that his face was pale and sweating profusely. He was lying on the ground and did not dare to move, so he didn't even see Li Ming's gesture. Until Li Ming shouted angrily and asked him to go out, he woke up like a dream and hurriedly pushed it out.

Looking at Ren Yong's figure leaving in a daze, Li Ming couldn't help feeling guilty. The reason why he let him in was just that he couldn't stand his behavior. However, he didn't expect that as he spoke, he was involved in a big deal and inexplicably put a big hat on him. This must be a big setback for Ren Yong's growth. Li Ming also knew what it would be like to be scolded by his idol like this, but although he was a little too much, if he could restrain himself in the future, the grievances he suffered today were worth it. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, he would have occupied the world in the future. With Ren Yong's current status, he would probably be the commander of one side.

When we walked out of the tent, the sun was already hanging high on the treetops. In the distance, the tender green forests gradually emerged and began to become lush. Spring in the south came very early. Not long after the Spring Festival, the whole world was about to turn green again.

The curling smoke gradually disappeared. The Fire Head Army had already prepared a sumptuous and delicious meal to reward the soldiers who had not eaten a hot meal for a whole day. The soldiers had already cleaned the battlefield and were sitting around at this time, talking and laughing to eliminate the delicious food in the bowl. Although their eyes were covered with blood, they did not look like people who had not closed their eyes a day and a night in their spirit.

After dinner, Li Ming summoned all the officers to the Central Army tent for a meeting. After everyone sat down, Li Ming first expressed his affirmation of the victory of this operation, and at the same time he praised all the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle. He heard that everyone present had their eyes and faces shining, and they could be praised by the lord himself. This was a great honor for these people.

Next, Li Ming put forward some opinions on the cooperation between the two troops in this battle, and he has been watching the battle outside, seeing some things clearly, and he invented these tactics, so he naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of them. Therefore, after his explanation and guidance, the officers present felt enlightened.

Seeing everyone smiling at the meeting after listening to their analysis, Li Ming couldn't help but feel very pleased. The reason why he wanted to lead his troops to fight was to improve some tactics in actual combat, and at the same time, he could also point out a group of commanders on the battlefield so that they could grow faster.

After talking about some necessary precautions, Li Ming immediately asked the logistics company to send all the surrendered soldiers back to Biquan Island, and the rest of the soldiers camped on the spot, and all the officers and soldiers went to bed immediately so that they could conduct night attacks on the enemy again at night. What Li Ming wanted to practice now is the night attack tactic, so although they could easily defeat the enemy during the day, he was unwilling to miss such a good opportunity.

After releasing a large number of scouts around the camp, Li Ming immediately announced his rest. Lying in the tent, he kept forcing himself to fall asleep, but he had no choice but to make him sleep. Although he was marching in the middle of the night yesterday, he was not tired now, which reminded him of other people. If he was like this, what would happen to those soldiers who were used to going to bed early and getting up early? Will they not be able to sleep like themselves? If they were like themselves, would it affect the night battle? Thinking of this, Li Ming could no longer lie down, so he hurriedly got up, turned around and walked outside the camp.

At this time, the camp was silent under the warm sunshine, and only the soldiers patrolling back and forth made rustling footsteps from time to time. When they saw Li Ming, they all saluted him together, and then continued their patrol work at Li Ming's instructions.

Li Ming's guess was indeed correct. When he approached the tent and listened to the movement inside, he found that most of the soldiers were trying their best to lower their voices and talking about the battle that had just ended. Their voices were filled with too much excitement and hope. This made Li Ming smile bitterly. He only knew how to act according to his own ideas, but did not take into account the actual situation. If he was not adapting to his orders today, his soldiers would probably increase the casualty rate due to poor rest. It seems that as a qualified commander, he still needs to continue to work hard and continue to accumulate experience in actual combat.

However, since my order has been issued today, it is unlikely to change it, especially today that everyone has won a big victory and is now looking forward to another night. If the offensive order is cancelled now, it will bring an unignorable blow to the high morale. By that time, it will probably be even more serious than the losses caused by losing a few more soldiers.

Therefore, Li Ming's decision, like most leaders, insisted on wrong orders and tried his best to make up for it. He also knew that at this time, Li Ming could deeply understand the officials who had been scolded by him before. It seems that sometimes they are like themselves today. Even though they knew that the decision was wrong, they still had to hold on to this decision. This helpless mood was not until today.

Since things are irreversible, Li Ming has to start the second combat plan. He originally did not want to use this combat plan, because it would make war very easy and thus lose Li Ming's purpose of training troops. However, in order to restore his mistakes, he can only make the war in the early morning of tomorrow easier.
