I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

Because of the uncertainty in the information reported by Wu Da, Wang Chao could not help but ponder and rack his brains to recall the historical information he had seen in his previous life.

In the Ming Dynasty, one had to have a thousand households to take the position of a battalion commander, right?

Although the specific situation is unknown, based on the superficial name, Wang Chao would think that the number of his subordinates would be in the thousands.

When he thought of this, Wang Chao couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

If thousands of regular troops attacked, he didn't think they would be able to resist.

However, Wang Chao felt a little unwilling to accept the fact unless he saw it with his own eyes.

After thinking for a while, Wang Chao said to Wang Dahu and others:

“You still have to see the situation yourself.

Come with me to the front mountain to see how many officers and soldiers there are. "

"you"

In this case, there will be no fatigue from long-distance and rapid marches, so there is no need to set up camp to rest, right?

However, no matter what they think, this is good news for Wang Chao and his team. At least it allows them to be better prepared.

Didn't we say before that we should try to avoid direct confrontation with the officers and soldiers and lead them in circles? How could we take the initiative to attack?

Seeing Wang Dahu's confusion, Wang Chao explained with a smile:

"This is a different time, and if the timing is right, we may not be unable to take the initiative to attack.

Moreover, we were just conducting a surprise attack to throw those officers and soldiers into chaos.

"Hahaha, eh~, you can't say that, you can't say that. Although I have extraordinary strategies and love my soldiers like my own sons, I am not worthy of being called the reincarnation of the God of War."

How about waiting until after noon when it's not so hot?

As if noticing Wu Ping's hesitation, a follower behind him rolled his eyes, stepped forward, and said in a low voice:

"My lord, look at those untouchables, they have lost their spirits under the sun. If we go into the mountains to suppress the bandits now, there will be countless casualties.

Wang Chao looked at the military camp nervously, ready to respond at any time.

"How is this going?"

It is not about attacking the camps of officers and soldiers directly."

"Well, since it's a surprise attack, we don't need too many people. I can just lead a platoon of people."

"Ok!"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.

Moreover, looking at their pale and thin faces and listless appearance, they don't look like serious officers and soldiers at all.

With the help of vision far superior to that of ordinary people, Wang Chao looked carefully.

“That shouldn’t be the case.”

Even though we have tried our best to select young and strong people.

You are right next to Niaoshu Mountain, aren't you waiting to be ambushed?

In that case

Wang Chao's eyes flashed with excitement.

They are not yet considered real soldiers, and are far from being elite soldiers.

Wu Ping glanced at the attendant and looked at the militiamen from the county not far away.

Looking at the hillside in the distance, Wang Dahu's eyes gradually widened, sparkling and flashing with excitement.

If they were not allowed to rest, but were asked to go into the mountains immediately to suppress the bandits.

But you have to take it easy and don't be so bloodthirsty that you don't care about anything else. It's best to shoot with a bow and arrow.

However, during this drought season, even these so-called young and strong men were pale, thin and weak. Could we really expect them to march sixty or seventy miles a day like the regular army?

"Yeah, okay! Let's do it!"

Wang Chao couldn't help but feel more confident about the encirclement and suppression by the officers and soldiers.

Then, without hesitation, he turned around and went back to the tent.

I'm afraid that by then, it won't be the rioters who will collapse at the first touch, but they will collapse at the first touch.

"."

Wang Chao shook his head and carefully observed the military camp ahead.

Looking at the military camp below, Wang Dahu was stunned by the officers and soldiers sitting lazily on the ground in groups here and there.

"it is good!

He always felt that the officers and soldiers who came this time did not seem to number more than a thousand, and their condition was also very different from the army he had imagined.

Looking at the hillside in the distance, Wang Dahu was slightly stunned when he heard Wang Chao's question.

"Hey, don't worry, Captain."

So in order to avoid heavy casualties among the soldiers, let’s postpone our entry into the mountains.”

After looking for a long time, Wang Chao suddenly became alert and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Indeed.

Moreover, it was not intended to engage in a head-on battle with the officers and soldiers, but only to launch a surprise attack.

After some observation, Wang Chao called Wang Dahu and pointed to a hillside where the military camp was located.

It's really hard to bear under this scorching sun.

But the situation doesn't allow it.

After careful observation, Wang Chao finally confirmed that the number of officers and soldiers coming this time definitely did not reach a thousand. At most, there were only five or six hundred people.

The military camp is close to Niaoshu Mountain.

But Wang Chao and his men are hiding in Niaoshu Mountain.

Wang Chao hesitated slightly, as he originally wanted to go by himself.

"Li Shu, take your men to the foot of the mountain to ambush

Likewise, do not engage in direct confrontation with officers and soldiers, but lead them by the nose, lead them through the mountains, set traps, and shoot them with bows and arrows from a distance."

On the other side, Wang Chao, Wang Dahu and others who had been hiding for a while thought that Wu Ping was going to go into the mountains when they saw him coming out, and they were quite nervous for a while.

This is the first battle with officers and soldiers, so naturally he has to be extremely cautious. Wang Chao must participate in all of it so that he can change his battle plan at any time according to the situation and get first-hand information from the officers and soldiers.

Wang Dahu couldn't help but speculate.

However, look at the scorching sun right overhead, and then look at the Niaoshu Mountain with its high mountains and dense forests in front.

Almost without any disturbance, Wang Dahu and his companions climbed up the hillside.

Even if they marched slowly, like Wang Chao and his men, it would only take two or three days.

As for Wang Chao himself, he naturally followed Wang Dahu to the first ambush site in the front mountain.

Wang Chao looked at the sky. It was only noon, which made him somewhat confused about the intentions of these officers and soldiers.

As for the fatigue of marching

It is only about thirty or forty miles from Weiyuan County to here. If we really want to march quickly, it may not even take a day.

In the end, Wang Chao nodded.

Without personal experience, those are just empty words.

Even though the servants kept fanning him with a palm-leaf fan, Wu Ping still felt uncomfortable and hot, and beads of sweat kept beading on his forehead.

Perhaps in his mind, Wang Chao and other rioters were hiding in the mountains trembling with fear, waiting for them to come in and encircle and suppress them. How could he dare to take the initiative to attack them?

"This"

Such situations

Wang Chao's eyes flickered, which might not be able to teach those officers and soldiers a profound lesson.

The Central Army Tent is located in the center, close to Niaoshu Mountain.

Seems like a standard way to set up camp.

"Um"

After cooking and having a hearty meal, everyone finally felt much more energetic.

Wang Dahu and the others nodded with heavy faces, and they all stood up and followed Wang Chao out of the camp and headed towards the front mountain.

Considering that these peasants, who have only trained for more than ten days and are not even considered militiamen, are not qualified to initiate an attack.

However, Wang Chao, whose eyesight far surpassed that of others, realized that this was not the case based on the changes in the expressions of Wu Ping and others.

After Wang Chao gave the orders one by one, he asked everyone to go down and prepare.

It took them two days to march the forty or fifty miles from Weiyuan County to Niaoshu Mountain, and they only arrived at the hour of Mao today.

When they chase us, retreat quickly."

Except for the more than one hundred militiamen from the county, the rest were just ordinary farmers who were newly recruited.

But the dynasty always feels a little weird.

After returning to the camp, Wang Chao immediately arranged combat tasks.

In my opinion, it would be better to wait until 3 p.m. to go into the mountains and encircle and suppress those bandits."

After obtaining more detailed information about the enemy, Wang Chao led everyone to retreat quietly.

In the past ten days, Wang Chao had already led Wang Dahu and his friends to become familiar with the surrounding mountainous and forest environment.

It was indeed the crazy fighting between Wang Dahu and Wujiazhuang that left a very deep impression on him.

Why didn't you attack immediately?

He wanted to too.

Therefore, he was too lazy to even send out scouts and only arranged sentries to guard around the military camp.

But after thinking about it, it doesn't make much difference.

"Did they discover our ambush?"

However, Wang Chao still gave a reminder in the end.

"Wang Dahu, lead a company to the front mountain and set traps to hinder the advance of the officers and soldiers.

Remember, do not engage in direct confrontation with the soldiers, only shoot them from a distance with bows and arrows, or kill them with traps.

When the officers and soldiers come close, immediately lead the troops to retreat."

In short, all the combat missions are just this: either they engage in head-on fighting with the officers and soldiers, or they assassinate or launch sneak attacks, or lead them in circles in the mountains.

Wang Dahu chuckled and went down immediately, leading a row of people and quietly moving towards the hillside.

However, after waiting for a long time, they found that Wu Ping had returned to the tent again.

"Da Hu, look, if we attack the military camp below from that hillside, can we cause quite a bit of chaos?"

Wu Ping did not send out any scouts, so naturally he could not find Wang Dahu and others traveling through the mountains and forests.

Shouldn't we launch an attack immediately while they haven't reacted and catch them off guard?

At the foot of the outer mountain of Niaoshu Mountain, Wu Ping directed everyone to set up camp, and he felt that he was quite capable.

"Your Excellency is truly the reincarnation of the Martial Saint and the God of War."

"Attack? This."

What is recorded in history is, after all, just history.

Listening to his men's praise, Wu Ping smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Think about the historical descriptions of the army in the late Ming Dynasty: insufficient food, wages, armor, and training.

Now that it’s delivered to my doorstep, why shouldn’t I take a bite?

After a little thought, Wang Chao led everyone and continued to move closer to the military camp.

Standing on a hidden mountain peak, Wang Chao and others looked down and saw a group of hundreds of people setting up camp and seemed to have no intention of entering the mountain.

As for taking advantage of the officers and soldiers' unstable foothold to attack

The dynasty was never thought about.

"Oh, my Lord, you really love your soldiers like your own sons."

"Yes, yes, yes. Who is as sympathetic to the soldiers as us adults?"

It turned out that Wang Chao was a little too nervous.

However, just these dozen days of training were enough to let him know that soldiers cannot and should not be in this state.
