"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 271
The cavalry unit of the Ninth Banner Regiment led by Yuan Jie set up camp outside Tianfeng Village, felled trees at the same time, made weapons for attacking the village, and assumed an offensive posture.
"It's just a group of cavalry. If you want to capture my Tianfeng stronghold, you are simply overwhelmed."
Seeing the cavalry of the Ninth Banner Regiment outside the stockade felling trees to make weapons for attacking the stockade, the head of the Cyclops who fled back could not help but sneer.
Although he felt that in the wilderness he was no match for the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, but on this steep mountain, he had the confidence to win.
Because their Tianfeng Village has been managed by him and has established three fortress lines of defense. If they want to completely capture the stockade, they must capture all three lines of defense.
However, there is only one rugged mountain road leading to the stockade. Large-scale troops cannot be used.
As long as the Qinghe Army really dared to attack the cottage, they would not mind bleeding the Qinghe Army to let them know that Tianfeng Village is powerful.
"Come on, cheer me up, don't let them take advantage of the loophole!"
Now there are 5,000 people guarding the three lines of defense in the village, which can be said to be impenetrable, but the head of the Cyclops still dare not be careless.
Because of his previous carelessness, he fought with Qinghe army cavalry in the wilderness, causing them to suffer heavy losses.
Now there are countless money and food stored in Tianfeng Village, which is the capital for his comeback, so there must be no mistakes.
The head of Cyclops inspected the three defense lines of the wall at the foot of the mountain, halfway up the mountain and at the top of the mountain. After making sure that everything was safe, he went back to rest.
After the admiral of Lujiang Mansion received a letter asking for help from Tianfeng Village, he promised to go to the rescue.
However, after he sent the messenger back, he remained on hold, and at the same time sent out sentries to monitor the situation in Tianfeng Village.
The admiral of the Lujiang Mansion also made up his mind, that is, seeing that the Qinghe Army and Tianfeng Village were both wounded, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Although he has cooperated with Tianfengzhai for so long, Tianfengzhai has always been a thorn in his side, but he is not strong enough to kill the other party, so he has to compromise.
Recently, the number of soldiers and horses in Tianfeng Village has expanded rapidly, and they have become more arrogant and domineering, which made the admiral of Lujiang Mansion even more dissatisfied.
It's just that this kind of dissatisfaction is just a private complaint, and he doesn't dare to turn against Tianfengzhai.
Because once Tianfengzhai went crazy, he might come to attack his Lujiang Mansion, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
The one-eyed dragon head of Tianfeng Village doesn't know the governor of Lujiang Mansion's flamboyant intestines. He feels that he has promised enough benefits, and the governor of Lujiang Mansion has no reason not to rescue him.
When the admiral of the Lujiang Mansion was watching the fun, Chen Ziang also personally led an infantry flag battalion to travel day and night, arrived outside the Tianfeng Village, and joined Yuan Jie.
The Ninth Banner Regiment led by Lu Fatty, as the vanguard of their Second Army, attacked cities and villages along the way, unstoppable.
The First Banner Regiment and Legion Headquarters led by Chen Ziang advanced as the second echelon. While they were responsible for clearing out the remnants of the enemy, they also continued to appoint left-behind envoys, form local troops, and consolidate the occupied areas.
However, what Chen Ziang didn't expect was that the Ninth Banner Regiment, as the vanguard, encountered an accident.
When Fatty Lu, the head of the banner, almost wiped out the whole army when he was chasing and killing the bandits, he also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Therefore, after he handed over the matter to Li Lang and Zhou Ba of the First Banner Regiment, he personally led an infantry banner battalion to rush over.
The Ninth Banner Regiment was hurt this time. Their cavalry unit was originally small. This time, a thousand-man team was directly wiped out, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
The head of the banner, Fatty Lu, and the wounded were sent back to Lingtai Town to recuperate, and a deputy head of the banner was in charge of screening prisoners of war.
Chen Ziang learned that Yuan Jie led the troops to Tianfeng Village, so he led the troops here again.
All under Yuan Jie's command were cavalry from the Qinghe Army. Not to mention that they lacked the equipment to attack the village, dismounting and fighting on foot was equivalent to killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
It is not easy to train a cavalry. Most of the cavalry of their Qinghe army are monks halfway through. After countless battles and cruel training, they have formed combat effectiveness.
It can be said that every cavalryman is a treasure, and Yuan Jie is also a little bit reluctant to send the cavalry to attack the bandit's stronghold now.??
When he was thinking about how to capture Tianfeng Village with the least cost, a banner infantry led by Chen Ziang arrived, which made Yuan Jie heave a sigh of relief.
"How is it going?"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the travel-worn Chen Ziang sat at the head, asking Yuan Jie who was standing in the military tent.
Yuan Jie was born as a staff member. As the chairman of the civil and military association of the Ninth Banner Regiment, his main job is to educate the soldiers, improve the cohesion of the troops, and assist the head of the banner regiment. Marching and fighting is not his forte.
However, Yuan Jie went to Tianfengzhai first, and sent scouts to investigate the surrounding situation. Now that Chen Ziang asked, he also gave a 1510-10 answer.
"Reporting to the general, there is no enemy within a radius of fifty miles."
"According to the confession of the captives, there are about 4,000 to 5,000 bandits in Tianfeng Village. There is only one mountain road up the mountain, and they have built three fortresses, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack"
Yuan Jie reported the situation he had obtained to Chen Ziang like beans, so that Chen Ziang, who had just arrived, had a preliminary understanding of the situation.
"Do you have any suggestions for attacking Tianfengzhai?"
After Chen Ziang learned about the situation, he turned his attention to Yuan Jie.
Yuan Jie replied: "General, Tianfeng Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If our army attacks by force, it will definitely suffer a lot of damage. Therefore, I think we should focus on siege instead of force attack."
"Our army is going south to the Dongjiang Province. If we stay here for too long, we will definitely attract the imperial army to besiege us. Therefore, we should not stay here for a long time. This battle needs to be resolved quickly." Chen Ziang shook his head and said.
Yuan Jie added: "General, although Tianfengzhai's terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has a fatal weakness. This is why I decided to siege."
"kindness?"
Chen Ziang knew that Yuan Jie was not a person who talked nonsense, so he motioned for him to continue talking.
"I personally inspected Tianfeng Village, and learned from the captured prisoners that there is no water source in Tianfeng Village, and they rely on a small stream at the foot of the mountain for drinking water."
"Although this creek is within the first wall at the foot of their mountain, as long as we capture this first wall and cut off their water source, the next two walls will be destroyed without attack." Yuan said. Jay tells the story of his discovery.
Chen Ziang's eyes lit up when he heard Yuan Jie's words. He didn't expect Yuan Jie to observe so meticulously, so he nodded in satisfaction. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
