Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

After the previous experience, everyone was not as panicked as the last time, but it was impossible to sleep. After all, how could we sleep with such a noise? Get up quickly and fight back.

Because it was dark outside and couldn't see clearly, everyone didn't dare to chase the enemy, so they only dared to focus their fire and fire off another cannon like the previous time. After seeing that the enemy made no sound, they fell asleep in frustration.

As a result, not even five minutes after falling asleep, something like this happened again, over and over again, making everyone unable to sleep.

Dong Hanzhang stood at the gate of the commander's camp, looking at the sky in the distance flashing fire from time to time, with an ugly expression on his face.

This is the first time he has encountered such an insidious enemy since he started fighting. The enemy doesn't want their soldiers to sleep. If this continues, how can everyone have the energy to set off in the middle of the night? There is no energy. Tomorrow, when the exhausted troops arrive at the remnants of the Li bandits, how can they have the energy to attack the city?

It happened to be night now, and he didn't dare to let his men go out to pursue him. After all, he was in an unfamiliar place and it was still dark. Those who were let out would most likely never come back, so no matter how ugly his face was, he could only endure it. Thinking about the harassment from An Ran and the others, he thought that he only had one night tonight and would go to Maple Leaf Fort (the nearest fort) tomorrow, and see how they would cause trouble then.

In fact, Maple Leaf Castle was not among Dong Hanzhang's targets before, because Maple Leaf Castle was built in a place surrounded by lakes on three sides. It used to be dry and without water, and it could be attacked from all sides. But now, the weather has returned to normal, and it has rained a few times. According to spies, It is said that the lake around Maple Leaf Castle is filled with water. If they want to attack, they can only attack from only one direction, which is difficult.

You can also get a boat and attack from other directions. However, Dong Hanzhang did not bring a navy with him this time, and he didn't even have a boat. If he wanted to attack from other directions, how could he attack? Even if ships can be requisitioned nearby, these soldiers are not navy and do not know how to fight on the water. Attacking the castle from the water is in vain.

This was An Ran's purpose. An Ran wanted to harass Dong Hanzhang until he was helpless, force him to attack Maple Leaf Castle, and then drag him to death in Maple Leaf Castle.

The enemy cannot attack from other places, but she can assist Maple Leaf Fort by transporting troops and food from the rear. By then, Maple Leaf Fort will definitely become a difficult nut to crack. Dong Hanzhang will not be able to attack because of the attack; if he does not attack, he will retreat. , will lead to low morale and dilemma.

Dong Hanzhang was not stupid. He could naturally think of anything An Ran could think of, but An Ran kept harassing him like this. He really couldn't follow his own ideas and march for another day to attack another bastion he wanted to attack. Because right now, the enemy has secretly attacked and suffered numerous injuries, and the soldiers are still exhausted from not sleeping well.

The soldiers are so exhausted now. If they don't go to Maple Leaf Castle during the day tomorrow, they have to go somewhere else. They have to walk for a day and sleep for one night. How can they ensure that the enemy will not sneak attack during the day? An Ran will really continue to harass during the day. He did expect it— -The soldiers will not be able to catch up on their sleep during the day, and then they will continue to be harassed at night. They cannot sleep well for two days in a row. They will go to their destination the day after tomorrow. Do they have the ability to attack the city?

Besides, the reason why he marched in a hurry was to conduct a blitzkrieg and attack the enemy unprepared. Now that the enemy knows their whereabouts, this method is useless, so it is best to get to Maple Leaf Castle quickly, set up camp, and wait for the attack. Maple Leaf Castle could not continue marching towards its destination.

He knew that Maple Leaf Castle was not good for him, but he had never actually seen the bastion, so he did not believe that the castle would be as difficult to defeat as the generals who had failed before said. He still preferred that those people were not very good in the first place. After all, couldn’t they defeat other rebels? Later, he and Fang Guozheng were dispatched to defeat him.

However, judging from Lu's harassment tactics, this Lu seems to be much more difficult to deal with than her husband. Judging from the battle report that Mr. Fang gave to the court before, Li bandits still fight in the traditional way, occupying a The city must be guarded to resist, but the Lu family didn't seem to be like this, and they dared to come out to attack. Also, the bastion was also very weird.

It was said that Mrs. Lu was taught by gods. He didn't believe it before, but now seeing that she, a country woman, knew these things, he couldn't help but believe it. He thought that if that person was not a god, he was at least an expert hermit.

That is, why does such a powerful person not go out to work for the court, but teach a country woman these things? If he is so powerful and works for the court, wouldn't he benefit the people of the world?

——Obviously, Dong Hanzhang was on the side of the imperial court because he was an official of the imperial court and a person with vested interests. He never thought that this imperial court would rule the world like this. How could Shi be willing to do things for it?

The night passed like this. Originally, Dong Hanzhang wanted to set off in the middle of the night, but he didn't do it now. Anyway, the enemy already knew their whereabouts, so there was no point in marching in a hurry. Besides, the soldiers didn't sleep well, so there was no point in setting off in the middle of the night. It's useless, not to mention, if the enemy makes a sneak attack along the road again, they are not as familiar with the terrain as the enemy and are disadvantaged, so it is better to march at dawn.

Marching during the day is still not peaceful.

Among the 1,000 people An Ran brought this time, there were 20 members of the special operations team, all of whom were skilled in lightening techniques and equipped with the latest muskets.

"The enemy is marching and gathering together. It's a good time for us to make a sneak attack. If we attack with our eyes closed, we can kill people. Let's set off in six teams. There will be twenty of you in a team of four, and I will be in a team of one. Let's divide Sneak attack the enemy from six directions, shoot a box of bullets and run away, don't miss it. After that, the enemy will not dare to chase us harassers at night, but they will definitely dare to chase us during the day. Moreover, even if they don't dare, look at how few of us will dare. At that time, if there are few people pursuing us, we will introduce the pursuing enemies into our encirclement and annihilate them together! Try to eliminate the enemy's effective strength as much as possible!"

Others heard An Ran say that she could also act and were worried about her safety, so they said: "Captain, we can just go. The captain is here to take command, so there is no need to go."

An Ran said: "Don't worry, you all know how good my Qinggong is. Are you still worried that something might happen to me? The more teams we divide into, the more confusion we can cause to the enemy, because the enemy will suddenly find sneak attacks from all directions. You will be nervous, not to mention chaos leading to a stampede, at least you will raise your gun and shoot around, and then you can waste some ammunition on the enemy. How good is this? If we waste more ammunition on the enemy now, the enemy will be able to attack the city with less in the future. Some ammunition, don’t you think?”

Ammunition in this era was very expensive, and the imperial court probably couldn't keep buying it. Yes, the imperial court basically couldn't make its own guns and ammunition, so it had to buy them. It's precisely because the imperial court didn't have its own arsenal that foreigners were so open-minded. , Ammunition is sold at a high price, so too much is consumed, and Dong Jiajun's ammunition replenishment will easily be unable to keep up, because the court will have no money to buy it.

Because An Ran insisted, everyone had no choice but to follow An Ran's action.
