Shangou County wasn't far from the Bailiang Mountain area. Blackie Zhang had been entrenched in the mountains for many years, so he must have planted quite a number of "ears".
When the backyard caught fire, the bandits inside the city and the bandits outside the city would work together from the inside and outside, which would definitely affect morale!
"Yes, Legion Commander. I will do it immediately.”
In the county town of Shangou, the remaining troops of the new First Division of the Feng Army were all in a state of combat readiness.
At this moment, tens of thousands of bandits were rapidly attacking the county.
"Brothers, hurry!"
"Hurry up! After we take down the county, the food, money, and women will all be ours!”
When the bandits heard about money and women, they ran to the county town with all their might despite being very tired.
After sprinting for an hour, they gradually saw the county town.
"Chief, the government troops have retreated into the county.”
A bandit leader reported to Heizi Zhang anxiously.
"F * ck, why did they retreat into the county?”
Zhang Heizi's face instantly darkened after hearing this and shouted loudly.
One had to know that attacking a county was completely different from attacking an army in the wilderness!
Attacking an army in the wilderness, even if they had the same number of troops, they could easily win.
However, attacking a county city was different. Even with ten times the number of troops, it was extremely difficult to take down a county city.
When the bandits heard this, their faces instantly darkened as if they were eating sh * t.
"The Feng army must have planted spies on our way here. They knew that we were coming to attack the county city, so they retreated to the county city and waited for reinforcements.”
The old scholar calmly analyzed.
"Sir, what should we do now?”
Heizi Zhang asked gloomily.
He had spent a lot of effort to gather the bandits of the Bailiang Mountain area.
If he did not succeed this time, then his prestige would definitely disappear.
Moreover, if the plan failed, it would be impossible to attack Zhang Er again.
"Zhang Heizi, don't worry too much. Since they took the initiative to retreat to the county, they must be hiding from us and waiting for the soldiers to come back.”
One had to know that Mountain Valley County was not a big city. The city walls were only three meters high, and the area they occupied was not large.
A small city like this is nothing to our army of tens of thousands.
The key is that time is tight, so we have to launch an all-out attack and take down Shangou County as soon as possible.
"Otherwise, once they hold on until the reinforcements arrive, we will be attacked from both sides. At that time, it will be bad.”
The old scholar analyzed with a serious expression.
After listening to the old scholar's analysis, the bandit leaders nodded and agreed with the old scholar's analysis.
"Haha, Mister is right. If we attack with all our strength, we will definitely be able to take down the county and capture Zhang Er alive.”
Zhang Heizi raised his voice and encouraged.
"Everyone, we have no way out now!”
"Only by taking down the county town as soon as possible and capturing Zhang Er alive can we have a chance of survival.”
"Otherwise, we will all die.”
Zhang Heizi looked at everyone and continued.
"Brothers, Chief Zhang is right. We have no way out. We can only take down the county town and capture the second son of the Zhang family alive!”A bandit leader responded.
"Take down the county town and capture Zhang Er alive!”
The other bandit leaders also responded and shouted.
"Take down the county town and capture Zhang Er alive!”
"Take down the county town and capture Zhang Er alive!”
For a moment, shouts shook the sky. Tens of thousands of bandits roared one after another.
At this moment, on the city wall of the county town, Zhang Xueming was analyzing the situation with his binoculars.
Tens of thousands of bandits rushed over, giving people a strong visual impact.
Even the well-trained 1st Division soldiers broke out in cold sweat when they saw this.
After all, although they were well-trained, they had never been on the battlefield. When they saw a team of tens of thousands of people, they could not help but feel nervous.
"It seems that the bandits of the Bailiang Mountain District are here!”Zhang Xueming said calmly.
"Looking at the scale, that's indeed the case. As long as we win this battle, we'll basically be victorious.”
A hint of excitement flashed across the Chief of Staff's eyes.
Although the enemy was just a bunch of bandits, it would be a decisive factor for the morale of the newly formed 1st Division.
Only after experiencing the baptism of battle would the soldiers gradually become stronger and become elite troops.
"Pass down my order, the artillery regiment is on standby. Without my permission, you are not allowed to fire.”Zhang Xueming ordered calmly.
In order to prevent the bandits from being scared off, they first showed weakness to the enemy and waited until the bandits got close before attacking. At that time, the bandits would be caught off guard.
In this way, the bandits would definitely suffer heavy losses, and the remaining bandits would not be a concern.
This was the so-called deciding the world with one battle!
It should be known that the artillery regiment was equipped with 20 105mm howitzers and 40 75mm field cannons. Even the main force of the Feng army did not have such weapons and equipment.
Zhang Xueming was convinced that once the artillery opened fire, the bandits would flee in fear after a few rounds of bombardment.
If the bandits really decided to flee, the troops in the city would not be able to stop them.
Therefore, Zhang Xueming asked the artillery regiment to wait for orders and let the bandits get close before attacking.
