Martial Arts Have Mastery

Shen Ling looked at Anzhou State Mu, and said softly: "Master Zhou Mu, I know you have confidence in me, but..."

Shen Ling hesitated.

The last time he helped Anzhou State Shepherd, it was because the uprising of the Qingshan Ma bandits threatened Qihua City and Dian Village. At that time, he was equivalent to driving ducks to the shelves. In fact, he had no strategy at all.

But this time, those rebellious bandits learned a lot from a fall.

He really can't guarantee that he can come back with a big victory.

Looking at Shen Ling, Anzhou Zhoumu sighed: "I know Mr. Shen's concerns, but I don't have anyone under my command who can fully command these soldiers."

"There are so many bandits in Anzhou, do I want to keep them?"

"no!"

"In recent years, I have sent troops to suppress bandits every year, but thousands of soldiers die in the mountains and forests every year. Those bandits are not afraid of officers and soldiers at all."

"It's not that I don't want to clean them up, but I can't do it!"

"If brother Yang hadn't recommended you to me before, saying that you would train soldiers, I wouldn't have come to this small place on purpose."

"Mr. Shen, you must not just sit and watch Anzhou be ruined!"

"I have two years left to retire and return home. Before that, Mr. Shen must help me."

Anzhou Zhou Mu said a lot, but Shen Ling could only nod his head continuously.

He vaguely understood the meaning of Anzhou Zhoumu, that is, Emperor Daqian put a lot of pressure on Anzhou Zhoumu, and the territory of Anzhou was not very peaceful.

Therefore, Anzhou Zhoumu regarded him as a lifeline.

But is this really possible?

"let me try."

Shen Ling nodded, and then said softly, "When will those people arrive?"

Anzhou Zhoumu thought for a while: "It's estimated to be February."

"February."

Shen Ling nodded, that means there is still a full month.

There is only the lunar calendar here, and the second month of the lunar calendar is spring.

In other words, the snow had basically melted at that time, and the cavalry would have no problem moving forward.

"I see."

Shen Ling responded.

Although it feels like there is a gap between 30,000 and 100,000, but if the bandits are still the same, 30,000 versus 100,000, there is actually not much problem.

After all, mobs are nothing to fear.

Anzhou Zhou Mu went back.

Shen Ling opened the map of Anzhou and looked at the land bordering Yuzhou at the bottom.

The map shows that there is a continuous mountain range over there.

And along the official road, they can only return to Anfeng City.

Anfeng City...

It was the only city in Shen Ling where no killings were committed.

Because before Shen Ling entered the city, those bandits had already marched from Anfeng City to Yuzhou.

Now, will they come back?

Shen Ling muttered.

If a force of 100,000 people attacked the city, it would not be a big problem for those bandits to take down Anfeng City.

However, if some soldiers are stationed in Anfeng City in advance, then it will not be a big problem to stick to Anfeng City.

However, if the hundred thousand bandits entered the forest, it would be difficult to fight.

After all, it is their home field, and they can hide anywhere.

The number of troops he could mobilize was limited, and letting those officers and soldiers enter the forest was tantamount to sending them off.

After thinking about it, Shen Ling had a flash of inspiration!

Since it is easy to defend Anfeng City, he will find a way to let those bandits attack Anfeng City.

But, how can we let them attack the city...

Get some temptation!

money……

no!

Although the bandits are all greedy for money, if the information is as simple as money, those bandits may not be caught.

Instead, it is possible to be alert.

Have!

After thinking for a long time,

Shen Ling suddenly thought.

Those bandits don't have any weapons, bows and arrows, knives, guns, swords and halberds must be in short supply.

Then, use this kind of thing to tempt them...

Hope it works!

mid-january.

Anzhou Zhoumu mobilized people and let 3,000 people enter Anfeng City first at the request of Shen Ling.

At the same time, a large number of tightly packed carriages also entered Anfeng City from all directions.

Some rumors spread at this time.

Rumor 1: There are a batch of restricted-level weapons in Anfeng City, which are being transported to Yuzhou at an opportune time.

Rumor 2: There are treasures left by the rebels in Anfeng City, and they need to be transported out at this time.

Rumor 3: There are weapons confiscated in Anfeng City and they need to be transported back to Anzhou City.

Some rumors started to ferment.

A few days later.

At this time, Shen Ling also came to Anfeng City.

Anfeng City is very big and can accommodate a lot of people, but if those rebel bandits don't take the bait, it would be uncomfortable to have so many people crowded in the city.

"Report!"

A scout returned and reported the information.

"Say."

Shen Ling spoke softly.

The scout said respectfully: "I found the traces of those bandits. They are located in a mountainous area five kilometers outside Anfeng City, and they are resting there."

"Pass my order, let everyone pay attention to concealment."

Shen Ling said softly.

"Yes!" The scout nodded.

After a while, another scout came back: "Report, those bandits have turned around and headed west."

"Report, those bandits have entered the forest!"

A piece of information made Shen Ling's face a little serious.

It seems that his temptation information has no effect, and those bandits are quite vigilant.

But as long as those bandits don't come out...

He's really not good at it.

Another two days passed.

After mobilizing troops several times, Shen Ling discovered the problem.

That is, every move of the army seems to be being watched, no matter which way the army goes, those bandits will bypass it.

Obviously there are more bandits, but the opponent just avoids fighting. And Shen Ling didn't want to give such a stupid order to enter the forest.

He had no choice but to let 3,000 people stay in Anfeng City to prevent those bandits from splitting up and attacking.

Then, Shen Ling issued a somewhat strange order.

Break it down to zero!

If the other party can know the location of his 30,000 troops, then he will break up the 30,000 troops...

In this way, he can see how the opponent plays.

"Report!"

Two days later, the scouts reported again, "Those bandits have started attacking Anzhou City."

"coming!"

Shen Ling's eyes lit up.

He knew that the bandits couldn't wait long.

Unlike regular officers and soldiers, bandits have no logistic support at all.

For a team of 100,000 people, the daily food consumption is also an astronomical figure.

Once the food is gone, it's time for bandits to attack!

"Assemble the army."

Shen Ling issued an order, "Do it!"

It was broken into pieces before, but now it is broken into wholes. Except for the 3,000 people who stayed in Anfeng City, the remaining 27,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry were rearranged.

"kill!"

When the defenders and bandits began to fight at the foot of Anfeng City, a group of cavalry appeared behind the bandits.

At the same time, a large number of officers and soldiers appeared on the roads on both sides.

The encirclement on all sides is complete!
