"On December 16th, the Fourth Battalion fought with the Ganlang Qiang vanguard for one day and killed more than 200 enemies."

"On the 17th day, the Fourth Battalion fought again to the enemy's forward, and in this battle it was wiped out the five hundred wolf guards who came to the enemy's forward."

"On the 19th, the Fourth Battalion, led by General Hua Xiong, evacuated Hukou Fort, and Hukou Fort was captured by the enemy."

"From the 21st to the 24th, 500 scattered soldiers of the bandit army entered the villages around Lintao to rob. Hundreds of bandit bandits divided several groups and fought with several villages such as Changhong Village in Nanshan, Chenjiaya, Chinawan, Zhoujiaya and other villages. Except for the elderly and weak people who were left behind in Longtan, who were unable to resist and were slaughtered, although some people were killed or injured in the villages, they were not broken by the thieves."

After roughly explaining the situation in the past few days, Dong Xiaoyi looked at Dong Hu and said, "Brother, the wolf Meng seems to have discovered something. Thousands of people have been staying in Hukou Fort and not leaving. They have hundreds of yaks in their hands. If we fight hard, we may suffer a lot."

Dong Hu thought for a while, nodded and smiled, "It is probably Hua Xiong who scared Lang Meng and ordered Hua Xiong to lead the Fourth Battalion out of the city to find an opportunity to wipe out the scattered soldiers."

Sun Niu said angrily: "Hundreds of thieves have not even been able to take down a serious village. I think they are just waste. For 500 to 500, who are we afraid of?"

No matter how the mercenaries don’t take their lives seriously, they are not fighting in groups, and they have never really fought head-on, and they have no confidence. But when Hua Xiong led the Fourth Battalion to wipe out the brutal Five Hundred Wolf Guards, the other three mercenaries have the confidence and have no respect for the Wolf Guards.

Seeing everyone nodding, Dong Hu silently agreed that the army is fighting for confidence, and only an army with strong confidence can be called a strong army.

Seeing everyone nodding, Dong Hu thought about it and felt safer to test the enemy's purpose first.

"We don't have to hurry. Let's kill those wandering soldiers and scattered warriors first. Let's see how Lang Meng chooses to divide the troops again or retreat."

Sun Niu said in confusion: "Big leader, if that damn wolf Meng ran away, wouldn't we be punished here for more than half a month in vain?"

Dong Hu couldn't help but smile and said, "How can you suffer in vain? The mad wolf Meng's morale is different as soon as he advances and retreats."

Dong Hu thought for a while and said, "Chasing the enemy is divided into two situations: when the enemy invades our territory and pursues the enemy's territory."

"The two pursuit situations are different. In our territory, siege and strangle are like strangling and strangling, and there will be more losses after the war. Why? Because they are trapped beasts, they want to go home and fight to the death in order to escape. Their escape route is often the same direction, the direction of escaping home, so it is like a sharp cone. Therefore, this kind of pursuit should avoid siege and kill, but follow and chase, reduce their own losses, and try to kill more enemies."

"If we pursue the enemy country, as long as it is not the enemy pretending to be defeated, but our army really defeats the opponent. In this way, their escape direction is not a cone, but a scattered scattered all over the mountains and fields. They will use their familiar terrain to escape and will be unintentional to resist. If the troops are enough, just encircle them, it will be easy for them to surrender."

"The enemy invaded our territory because the enemy thought that they were strong enough. Even if they were defeated, they still had the support of their tribesmen and had extravagant hopes in their hearts. They would not surrender easily and would fight to the death. Once trapped, it would become a trapped beast that would still fight. Even if they were completely wiped out, our army would kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of them, so we had to follow and kill the enemy."

"On the contrary, if you defeat your opponent in the enemy territory, if the opponent loses his support, you will run away in all directions and take care of your own lives. In order to expand the results of the battle, it is the best if you can siege it."

Everyone nodded, and Dong Hu smiled again: "According to this principle, the Ganlang Qiang invaded our Lintao territory. The best plan is to defeat them and follow them all the way to chase them, and then break into the Ganlang Valley. After defeating Lang Meng in Ganlang Valley, they surrounded and annihilated them in one fell swoop."

"First, the fourth brigade led by General Hua Xiong wiped out five hundred wolf guards, and Lang Meng divided the troops into 500 miscellaneous troops to invade the villages outside Lintao City. Once these five hundred miscellaneous troops are wiped out again, our army will be 2,000 and one thousand enemy troops. If hundreds of them are killed during the follow-up process and killing them, our army will be three times and four times the strength of Lang Meng. As long as there is no accident, Shenlang Qiang will be defeated and become our spoils."

The generals were greatly inspired and Quan Yi looked like he was about to start a fight with Lang Meng immediately.

Dong Hu said again: "Under normal circumstances, don't think about annihilation of the enemy at once. As the general of the Great Qin State in the West said, he always thought about annihilation of the opponent's generals, and they are often rookies who have just entered the army."

Everyone was stunned, looking at Dong Huquan with a weird expression. Dong Hu knew what they were thinking and smiled: "The 'Winter Operation Plan' has been an encirclement and annihilation since the beginning. Usually, the situation is not to think about encircling and annihilation of opponents, because this situation is often unrealistic and requires sufficient troops, but our troops do not have an absolute advantage. It is like using a broken pocket to hold a tiger, which is easy to be torn into the pocket by a tiger."

"It's usually the case, but that madman Lang Meng is different from normal people! Lang Meng is a madman, cruel, bloodthirsty, cold-blooded, ruthless... Lang Meng is a tyrant!"

"Tyrant... Qin Shihuang unified the world, but died in the second lifetime?"

Dong Hu smiled and said, "This metaphor is not very appropriate, but the principle is this. As long as the mad wolf Meng runs to the city of Lintao, as long as we take back Hukou Fort, and as long as the city blocks their way home, they will become trapped beasts in the cage."

"It is different to using the army as a cage and the city wall as a cage. In addition, the cruelty of Lang Meng is unpopular. Although he can scare others with his cruelty, if he traps him, as long as those who are afraid are kept away from Lang Meng, we will cut the Lang Meng, and the battle will be over."

"This has two benefits, because there is Lintao City in front and Hukou Fort behind. In the city, it will make us lose less. When the soldiers in the Ganlang Valley are shaken, we publicly point out the blame for Lang Meng, so that others can separate from Lang Meng, kill him... it is easy to kill chickens and dogs."

"The first advantage is that we have less losses. The second point is that we don't have to worry about expedition logistics and supplies, killing Lang Meng under Lintao City and forcing the soldiers of Shenlang Qiang. We only need to march quickly. Only one thousand or even five hundred soldiers can obtain all the people in Shenlang Valley, cattle and sheep."

Dong Hu smiled and said, "These two plans are feasible. If you trap Lang Meng to death, you may chase him all the way. It is feasible according to the current situation, so we don't have to hurry. Let's kill the five hundred miscellaneous fish that Lang Meng scattered out first."

Dong Hu looked at Dong Xiaoyi who was silently nodding and said, "It's true that you kill the miscellaneous fish, but let Hua Xiong be careful. Hukou Fort is only twenty miles away from Lintao. Lang Meng has hundreds of yaks riding on the wolf guards in his hand. Don't be careless and be bitten by Lang Meng."

Dong Hu thought about it again and said, "Yaks can be ridden, but the ox is not as good as a war horse after all. Let Hua Xiong prepare some rocket preparations, which is specifically designed to deal with accidents and prevent hundreds of yak riders from suddenly appearing."

"Also, transfer the second scout team to Hua Xiong's name, with the help of the Hawks and Falcons, and find the enemy's traces as soon as possible."

“That’s about it.”

Dong Xiaoyi and Zheng pointed at it, without saying anything, turned around and walked out of the low shack to convey the military order.

After looking at the information sent by the scout, Dong Hu, Dong Xiaoyi and others thought that Lang Meng had found something wrong. Instinctively, Lang Meng was fishing because he wanted to lead Lintao troops out of the city, and then use hundreds of yak riders to kill the main force of the mercenaries.

Hukou Valley is only twenty miles away from Lintao. Hundreds of raids scattered outside Lintao City, and blind people became blind inside the city. Hundreds of yak riders secretly hid in one place and raided could be achieved.

Not only Dong Hu thought Lang Meng was fishing, but the "Bone" beside Lang Meng and Song Yang also felt that this was the case, but in the next few days, Lang Meng's strange behavior completely overturned the world of the two.

After Dong Hu's army order was introduced to Lintao, Huaxiong ignored the obstruction of the county magistrate Sun Ying and dispatched 200 cavalry soldiers from the third and fourth brigades to form a mixed elite brigade of 500 squadrons and cavalry.

The mixed brigade assembled the elite of two brigades. After 500 people left the city, two hundred cavalry turned west. With the help of the second scout team, two hundred cavalry surrounded more than fifty ginseng and wolf Qiang and shot arrows and killed them. In just two quarters of an hour, all the bandits invaded Taizi Shangzhai were wiped out, and then they joined the three hundred straitors northwards and annihilated the hundred thieves in Manzi Mountain in one fell swoop...

In just one day, the mixed brigade rushed forward and fought, annihilated more than 300 thieves in one day.

For five consecutive days, Huaxiong went out of the city to fight. Except for the first day, he only killed dozens of thieves every day. It was not because of the lack of combat power, but because the thieves scattered everywhere. Each share had at most twenty or thirty people, which were extremely scattered, and even had no qualifications to harass the villages.

Dong Hu soon learned of the news and ordered Hua Xiong to return to the city temporarily and not leave the city and fight again without military orders.

There are only twenty or thirty thieves in each group, and they are not qualified to harass the villages. They do not gather to fight with Hua Xiong, but they are dispersed. This style of fighting makes Dong Hu a little confused. In order to be more secure, Hua Xiong will temporarily return to the city and let someone inform the people of the left-behind villages to clear the small groups of thieves themselves. He needs to judge Lang Meng's intentions clearly.

People in the northwest are fighting and fighting is extremely normal. If a hundred people besiege a village, there is no way to deal with it. For the sake of the lives of his wife and children, he can only hide in the Mu Village to defend. But if there are only twenty or thirty thieves, or fewer, the situation will be different.

There were only more than ten thieves in each village, and there were quite a few people running out of the village to fight. The thieves' army in Lintao City were repeatedly damaged. But what's strange is that Lang Meng did not show any signs of "fishing", and there was no sign of mobilizing hundreds of yaks to ride. He just spent the whole world and drank and had fun in Hukou Fort, as if the dead were not his tribe members.

Lang Meng's behavior is very strange. Not only does Dong Hu not understand it for a moment, but the "bone" around Lang Meng is also unclear as well as Song Yang. Therefore, all fishing enthusiasts know that the bait has been thrown down. The float has been moving repeatedly, and the angler has no desire to even try to lift the pole to observe it. This is extremely unreasonable.

Lang Meng went crazy and attacked Lintao regardless of everything. No matter how many people died, it was reasonable.

It is reasonable to dispatch troops to attack one by one, and every village he saw when Xue Tu saw it.

But the fact is that Lintao did not fight, but many people were killed by Lintao villages. Is this still the irritable and irritable madman?

Everyone was puzzled. Sun Niu's head was scratched and he didn't understand why. As a native of Lintao, he knew the nature of Ganlang Valley very well. But even if he was crazy, there was no such thing?

"Even if the damn Lang Meng goes crazy, he doesn't have someone to die like this? Is there any benefit to him?"

...

"Damn, that bastard is just a complete madman!"
