Chapter 214: Defensive Counterattack

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's go and watch the sand table simulation."

Everyone surrounded Lin Feng and returned to the command center.

In the hall, craftsmen had made a huge sand table based on Wei Bao's map.

Everyone gathered around the sand table, looking down at the realistic terrain on it.

When this sand table was made, it amazed all the generals.

It turns out there is such a good thing. The entire terrain is clearly visible before your eyes.

Several senior generals once lay around the sand table and studied it for several days.

In addition to being amazed, everyone was full of admiration for Lin Feng.

Such a powerful weapon allows everyone to have a very clear understanding of the battlefield situation.

Arrange military operations and have a clear view of your position and tasks.

Lin Feng pondered and said, "I think this way, each of you will lead a team of troops to set up defensive positions around the Tartar camp. This will not only cut off the Tartar's supply lines, but also disperse their fighting power."

Hu Jincai clapped his hands and said, "Great! They have no choice but to fight."

"Yes, yes, yes. Let's fight the Tartars on the defensive and counterattack."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Each defensive position cannot be too far apart, nor too close, um... between two and four miles."

He pointed at the sand table and said.

"Here, here, and here. There are six to eight positions in total. The outside is a honeycomb formation, and the inside is equipped with barriers such as fences, tripwires, and pits. Further in, there are crossbows."

Wang Qian asked doubtfully, "Brother, what if the Tartars don't attack?"

Hu Jincai laughed and said, "Without food, he has no choice but to fight."

Lin Feng nodded: "Remember, we must fight in coordination. When the Tartars attack one position, the two adjacent positions can assist in the defense."

He looked up and glanced at everyone.

"This is called breaking the whole into parts and defeating them one by one."

Lin Feng paused to let everyone digest this information.

"This battle was a counterattack, and it also marked a shift in offense and defense for both sides. From now on, we've gone from defense to offense."

Everyone looked excited.

"As long as we seize the initiative, the entire west part of the town will be revived. Then, we will have a say."

Lin Qiaomei interrupted, "Brother, do we have the final say in Zhenxi from now on?"

"That's not the case, but no one will question what we say."

Hu Jincai smiled and said, "That is to say, when our boss gives the order, they all have to listen."

"What about those who don't listen?"

"You will suffer the consequences at your own risk."

Qin Fang asked worriedly, "Boss, should we seek the opinion of the commander-in-chief?"

"General Su asked me to be the deputy governor. Will you command the battle here?"

Qin Fang shook his hands quickly.

"How can I do this? No one else can do it except the boss."

"You also know that I beat up Du Lisheng. He has a strong background, so naturally he is unwilling to endure it."

"Boss, does he dare to retaliate against you?"

"Didn't I tell you that he has connections in the court?"

Zhao Shuo stood on the periphery of the crowd.

They were all big guys, so he didn't dare to squeeze forward and had to stand with the guards.

At this moment, he heard this and immediately shouted.

"Brother, if we talk about the imperial court, we are not inferior to them, right?"

Everyone immediately laughed and said, "That's right, who dares to stand up to Lord Zhao?"

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Stop, let's talk about the encirclement and suppression plan first, and we can discuss other things later."

He laid down the major policies.

Next, there are the specific combat plans and details of various offensive and defensive measures.

The difficulty of this war lies in the establishment of each defensive position.

All the work must be done in one night.

Once it gets to daybreak, the Tartars will rush out to stop us.

In the wilderness, the large army was unable to withstand the Tatar charge.

Lin Feng suggested that all the materials for the defensive positions be prepared in advance and the location be selected.

General Sun Yang only took with him his guard, 500 men and some generals who were unwilling to stay.

The other soldiers all expressed their willingness to stay in Lingdouzi Castle.

Therefore, there are enough people in the castle.

Each team consists of 1,000 people. After nightfall, they carry all the materials for the position and reach their destination, completing all the construction tasks in one night.

In the Tatar camp, Yinjia Bilan was sitting in the central military tent.

Ever since he suffered a loss at the hands of Lin Feng here, he has learned his lesson.

The defense of food and fodder is very strict.

Since it is a suppression, it does not mean that we must attack the castle.

Bilan took a defensive stance and made sure that no area of ​​the camp was left out.

They confronted Lin Feng here and occasionally disrupted their other actions.

Anyone facing an army of more than 10,000 would feel depressed and frightened.

Therefore, as long as he stays here, activities in the entire Qingshui area will come to a standstill.

Bilan was very proud.

I have more than 10,000 men, let’s see what you, Lin Feng, can do to me.

As long as we proceed steadily, we can gradually erode the clear water area.

However, he did not expect that a scout would come to report early the next morning.

It is said that seven or eight large camps appeared around the camp overnight, just surrounding the camp.

When Bilan heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

This Lin Feng wants to encircle more than 10,000 of his own troops. Isn't this like a mantis trying to stop a chariot?

As long as I send out three thousand or two thousand cavalry, I can kill you even if I pile up all of them.

Bilan immediately gave the order to dispatch two thousand cavalrymen to open up the grain route before doing anything else.

Two thousand cavalrymen poured out of the camp like a torrent and rushed straight to a large camp on the west side of the camp.

At the camp on the grain road of the Tartar camp was a thousand-man army led by Wang Qian.

From afar, he saw countless cavalrymen rushing out of the Tatar camp, heading towards him.

This is also what they expected.

Wang Qian shouted loudly: "Archers, prepare to shoot."

"Crossbow ready."

"Spearmen, stand forward and wait for the enemy."

After a series of orders, all the soldiers followed the order and took their positions.

Nervously waiting for the Tatar cavalry to rush forward.

Two thousand cavalrymen rushed towards the camp as if they were having fun all over the mountains and plains.

The Tatars on horseback roared loudly and urged their horses on, ignoring the arrows raining down from the sky.

These Tartars only remember food and not beatings, and have long forgotten their previous lessons.

When they were about 200 steps away from the camp, the leading rider suddenly leaned forward and flipped the Tartar on his horse into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the Tartar following behind him stood up and began to tumble and fall.

He stepped into the honeycomb formation invented by Lin Feng.

The hole was nearly a foot deep, and if a running warhorse stepped into it, one of its legs would be crippled.

The Tatar cavalry followed the charge, bravely stepping on the horses in front of them and continuing to charge forward.

Behind the honeycomb array is a complex network of tripwires.

There was another round of chaos, with countless Tartars falling to the ground.

Waves of arrows rained down from the sky, and many Tatars and horses were hit by arrows and fell to the ground in the distance.

Finally, some Tatar cavalrymen rushed to the front of the camp, stepping on the corpses of their predecessors.

But before he could break through the camp fence, he was hit by a volley of crossbow arrows.

The iron armor on their bodies could not stop the powerful crossbow arrows, and many Tatars were once again stopped fifty steps away.

Seeing the heavy losses, the leader in the distance immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

Upon hearing the order, the Tatars reined in their horses, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to run back.

In this one battle alone, hundreds of Tatar cavalry were lost.
