"How's the fire? When did you get out of the water?"
Alan Tai panicked.
He led troops to war, so he naturally knew the importance of grain.
However, the fire that suddenly appeared at this time was definitely not ordinary.
He immediately sobered up.
Then, Alan Tai put on his clothes and quickly went to the dock.
In front of him was a towering flame. Once the fire spread, it could not be extinguished at all.
Raging flames burned wildly.
The ship and the food were all set ablaze.
The Qing soldiers frantically put out the fire, but it was too late.
"Did the Ma Bandits send someone?" Alan Tai grabbed a guard and roared.
"Sir, this, this, I don't know either!”This bodyguard also revealed a helpless expression."That's right, it suddenly started burning!”
Alan Tai gritted his teeth.
Kill!
Before Alan Tai could give the order, a series of killing cries suddenly sounded.
Nothing could be seen in the dark night.
The only thing that could be seen were countless flags. The sounds of killing could be heard endlessly, as if there were thousands of troops.
His voice was like thunder.
"Resist the enemy, resist the enemy!"
Alan Tai shouted and immediately ordered his men to start defending.
Su Chenglin, who was in charge of the ambush, had already given the order to charge. Immediately, the 500 men under him began to charge. Their mission was very simple, which was to create chaos. The more chaos they created, the better. The more confused the Qing soldiers were, the better.
He wanted to affect the Qing army as much as possible.
One burst of energy, two bursts of energy, three bursts of energy.
He wanted to change the mentality of the Qing soldiers and make them think that the bandits were not easy to deal with. He wanted them to vent their anger and exhaust the enemy as much as possible to accumulate their morale and exhaust the enemy.
Anyway, Zhang Mu's strategy was very simple.
Accumulate small victories into great victories.
Seize every opportunity to exhaust the enemy's forces.
Su Chenglin was the second-in-command in the beginning, and now, he only knew how to be orderly.
A wave of killing spree, arrows and arrows were fired, and they charged into the enemy's formation. They did nothing but set fire.
When the fire started, they would retreat immediately. Then, they would rush to another camp and continue to set fire to it. Then, they would attack again and again.
The 500 players repeatedly charged into the battlefield.
The entire Yongxin County was in chaos.
The 500 people did not cause much damage. On the contrary, the Qing army had lost a lot of people.
Alan Tai ordered his personal guards to protect him and kill anyone who got close to him.
"What a pity!"
At five o'clock in the morning, the Red Flame Army had already begun to retreat.
Su Chenglin felt that it was a pity.
If he called all of Zhang Mu's subordinates over, the 20,000 men of the Qing army would all die here after tonight.
However, Su Chenglin also knew that it was impossible.
Once the entire Red Flame Army attacked, it would definitely attract the attention of the Qing army. They couldn't underestimate the scouts of the Qing army. Alan Tai was a warfighter. Since he came here, he would definitely send out scouts to gather information. If there were too many people, it would be easy to be exposed.
By the time the Qing army was ready to defend and fight head-on, even if they won, the losses would be huge.
there is one to say one
Zhang Mu was also very clear that the Red Flame Army under his command did not receive much military training, and their combat strength might not be much stronger than the Qing army.
In order to defeat the Qing army, he needed to use the Slashing Technique properly.
Moreover…
Zhang Mu's strategy was definitely not to defeat the Qing army, but to wipe them out.
Even if Yongxin County won, the Qing army could still escape.
As long as they could annihilate this Qing army, the Da Tong Society would be able to expand even more.
……
……
dawn
The entire Yongxin County was in a state of chaos.
A night of killing.
In the end, it was actually their own people who were fighting.
The most cunning thing was that the Red Flame Army was clearly wearing the clothes of the Qing soldiers. While killing their own people, they shouted that the Ma bandits were disguised as their own people.
It was such a simple instigation, but it actually made his own people kill each other.
The craftiness of the Ma Bandits was beyond his expectations.
Out of the 20,000 people, they had lost close to 3,000 people.
More than 800 people died.
More than 900 people were seriously injured.
There were more than 1,000 people with light injuries.
For a short period of time, they could not go to the battlefield to fight.
Alan Tai knew that he was the biggest culprit.
Last night, he was indeed too pleased with himself.
He had lost the most basic judgment of a general.
He did not put up a good defense and thought that the bandits could be easily eliminated. The enemy took advantage of this mentality and launched a sneak attack.
The loss of soldiers and generals was not the most serious.
The most serious thing was that all his food had been burned.
Without food, how could they fight a war with hammers?
However, Alan Tai knew that he could not take the blame.
Bang!
Alan Tai's face was very ugly. He slammed his palm on the table and said angrily,""Trash, trash, who was in charge of guarding the camp last night? Who was in charge of guarding the grain ships? Bring them up and kill them!”
Everyone present looked at each other.
No one spoke.
After a long time, Alan Tai's deputy general, Zhao Fuzhou, said slowly,""General, they, they have already escaped!”
Bastard!
Alantai felt his anger burning."Escaped? Capture him, capture him!"
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's too late!" " They escaped last night," Zhao Fuzhou said with a bitter smile." We haven't heard from them since!"”
Pa!
Alan Tai slapped Zhao Fuzhou's face.""Arrest them! Trash! Trash! Why did the Imperial Court raise you?”
Zhao Fuzhou was slapped, but he didn't dare to say anything.
On the other hand, Fei Yanggu, who was also a Manchu general, quickly said,"General, our rations have been burned. I'm afraid that we won't be able to supply this cart of grass in a short period of time. The Imperial Court wants us to end this quickly.“
Alantai put on a fake smile.""That's easy to do. Prepare food on the spot. Let the gentry of Yongxin County donate food!”
Zhao Fuzhou was stunned and couldn't help but say,""If you don't want to?"
"If you don't agree, it's treason!" Alan Tai said coldly," Since they are colluding with the enemy, we will use extreme methods to seize their homes. All the women will be sent to become prostitutes, and all the men will be recruited into the able-bodied men. We will go up the mountain to exterminate the bandits!"”
Without food, Alan Tai's method was straightforward, simple, and crude.
Let's first rob these landowners and gentry.
