Chapter 20 Trapped in the camp
Wei Zheng had just returned to the Juyi Hall, and the smile that had covered his face disappeared and was replaced by a hint of solemnity.
Wang Feng, who was following Wei Zheng, couldn't help but frowned and asked in a heavy tone: "General, has the Tartars entering the mountain not retreated yet? You just said to the training ground just to stabilize the morale of the army..."
Wei Zheng shook his head and replied: "What I just said is true. The Tartars did retreat. However, this is only temporary. The actual situation is far from as simple as we imagined."
"I can tell you two with certainty that although the Tartars retreated, the war was not over."
"If I guessed well, the Tartars, who lost more than 20 people again, must be planning a new encirclement and suppression against us outside the mountain. At that time, facing the Tartars who are already prepared, it will not be so easy for us to win."
At this time, Zhao Yun, who rarely spoke, suddenly asked: "General, can you know in advance the specific time of the Tartars' attack on us next time..."
Wei Zheng shook his head and denied it without thinking: "I don't have this ability yet. However, according to my estimate, the Tartars have only three days at most..."
"Three days are too short..." Zhao Yun sighed with emotion, whose thoughts were instantly shattered.
Seeing Wei Zheng and Wang Feng looking at him respectively, Zhao Yun quickly explained: "I originally thought that the Tartars would leave us more time and seize the time to train so that the soldiers who had just joined our Tiger and Leopard Army could have the ability to fight. However, three days were too short, and even the minimum formation could not be completed..."
Wang Feng replied with a consent, "Old Zhao is right. Although the new recruits have good physical fitness, their predecessors are the people after all, and everything has to start from scratch."
"Although our old brothers are a little bad, many of them have killed people and have experienced some basic training. It is very easy to get started when training."
At this moment, Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he was thinking of something?
A few hours ago, when Wei Zheng made the decision to eliminate the Tartar vanguard, he had to write a deterrent letter to Niulu Zhangjing in one go.
In addition to forcing the Tartars to retreat, there is another important reason, which is what Wang Feng guessed at the time, inducing the Tartars to divide their troops and launch an attack on them.
On the surface, he has a lot of troops, which is not much different from the one-same Niulu.
However, if the two troops collided in the field, with the mobs in their hands, they might not be able to deal with half of the Tatars' Niulu, let alone an elite full-scale Niulu.
Therefore, Wei Zheng, who knew it himself, knew it clearly: if the Tartars did not divide their troops and concentrated their forces to attack the military camp. There was only one way to wait for him, and gave up the foundation he had worked hard to build, and fled to the mountains with his confidant.
However, if the Tatars divide their troops and attack their military camp in multiple ways. Then they can use the time difference to concentrate their superior forces and eat up a small force divided by the main force of the Tatars.
The so-called "It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt one finger". In Wei Zheng's view, this is the best way to get the Tiger and Leopard Army to survive the crisis in front of him, and it is also the only way to do so.
However, just as he was thinking about the entire plan again on the way back to the military camp, Wei Zheng suddenly discovered that a huge loophole seemed to have been forgotten by him.
If you have the ability to eliminate twenty-five Manzhou Tartars in a short period of time, the Tartars who know their combat effectiveness will definitely become very cautious. Even if you divide your troops into encirclement and suppression in the next encirclement, the strength of each Tartar unit will be far beyond what you can bear.
At that time, if I cannot destroy one of the Tartar troops in a short period of time, I will be completely surrounded by the heavy army of the Tartars, and even the only way to escape and retreat into the dense forest will be cut off, and I will be trapped by the Tartars in the military camp.
Therefore, since entering the Juyi Hall, Wei Zheng's brows frowned unknowingly.
However, the question Zhao Yun just raised just now was like a key, which directly solved the problem in his mind.
The Tartars can increase the strength of each army, and they can also increase it themselves.
Although the warable soldiers in his hand are only one spear platoon, he can expand the spear platoon in front of him into a spear squad, concentrate all the elite troops of the entire army into a spear squad, and specifically act as the fist force in his hand.
Wei Zheng, who quickly flashed a smile on his lips, said to himself: "Now it seems that our Tiger and Leopard Army has to carry out a new round of adaptation."
After saying that, without waiting for the two confidants to react, he directly ordered Wang Feng: "Brother Wang, I have an important task here for you to complete."
"You immediately select the 70 best-achieved spearmen from the remaining soldiers of our Tiger and Leopard Army. The thirty soldiers in the spear platoon will be combined into a spear team, and you will be the captain of the team. At all costs, train them to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible..."
"In addition, all the leather armor we seized twice in a row are also equipped with this spear team. My principle is that three platoon leaders and the captain, two deputy captains are equipped with iron armor, and the rest of the soldiers are equipped with leather armor, one person and one spear..."
"From today on, this spear team is the fist force of our Tiger and Leopard Army. Wherever we need it, this spear team will appear..."
Each person has a pair of leather armor, a long spear, and officers above the platoon level are equipped with iron armor...
This kind of advanced equipment that was only seen among the elite Ming army, actually appeared on his own rebel army.
After half a minute of being stunned, Wang Feng reacted from the surprise and promised loudly to Wei Zheng.
"Please rest assured, General. I promise to select the remaining seventy soldiers of the Spear Team before dark, and under the leadership of thirty veterans, we will form combat power as soon as possible and become the fist force of our Tiger and Leopard Army."
After Wang Feng left the Juyi Hall with a smile on his face, the remaining Zhao Yun also quickly looked at Wei Zheng, showing a longing look at Wei Zheng, waiting for Wei Zheng's order.
At this time, a mysterious smile suddenly flashed across Wei Zheng's face, and he ordered Zhao Yun, who was full of desire.
"Brother Zhao, your task is also very important..."
"A crucial decisive factor is yours to win the next attack by the Tartars."
"You have two tasks in total: First, find out all the craftsmen of our Tiger and Leopard Army immediately, especially the blacksmiths and carpenters. I have great use."
"Secondly, you will collect all the iron products in our copycat, including the extra big swords and the maces that captured the Tartars. I will use them to create a new weapon to make up for our long-range strike power."
"In addition, Brother Wang should also organize the remaining soldiers. Starting today, we will mainly train the arm strength of these soldiers, and give up the others temporarily..."
Wang Feng fulfilled his promise well. Before dark, a hundred soldiers wearing leather armor and holding spears formed three spear formations, standing in front of the station without moving, waiting for Wei Zheng to arrive.
Although Wei Zheng did not see the intellect and murderous aura he wanted to see from them, the one hundred-time favorites who could stand here so motionlessly is enough to show that the top talents Wang Feng selected are all good soldiers.
As soon as Wei Zheng walked up to the point-up platform, Wang Feng spoke and reported.
"General, the spear team has been formed according to the order: a total of 30 elders are sought after, twenty brothers from the original Big Sword Team, 49 brothers who have just joined our Tiger and Leopard Army, plus me, a total of 100 spearmen have arrived. Please give me a lecture."
