Turbulent Times Chapter 1571: The special forces team is ready to make a big ticket

"Commander, now we have figured out all the situation of the grain road from Li Jiajun's Chencang granary to Longguan. There are three places that are most in line with our strategic goal plan, and they have been marked on the map. Please The commander decides where we go to cut off the food road."

"Very good." Zhang Tiangang nodded slightly, expressing his praise, crawled on the map, and carefully calculated the landforms near the three places marked on the council, as well as the distance from Longguan and Chencang counties.

Zhang Tiangang knows very well that although the subordinates of his special forces are powerful, even in the foreign wars of the Far Eastern Army in these years, he led the special forces to make great achievements, and the role played by them is not even comparable to that of the Far Eastern Army in terms of strategy. Whirlwind Camp, Tiger Camp, Storm Bear Camp, etc. are all small camps.

However, Zhang Tiangang also understands that to destroy the enemy head-on always requires the troops from each battalion to do it. The main thing they can do is to harass and cut off the enemy's food and grass in the form of guerrilla warfare.

However, the Far Eastern Army has done too much in foreign wars in recent years, breaking people's food roads and burning other people's food and grass. Under Li Shimin's initiative, the Li Yuan Group paid great attention to the collection of the Far Eastern Army's past achievements and various intelligence. There may be no defense against food and grass.

So, when the enemy dispatches heavy troops and takes precautions to protect food and grass, it doesn't mean that they are helpless, but the effect they can play is greatly reduced.

Taking this time as an example, they have been sneaking into the rear for a long time. Although they can also burn and kill the enemy's food and grass, but based on estimates, they will succeed once or twice at most. There are also several military strongholds set up along the way, and they can come to support them soon.

So, after one or two successes, when the Li family army redistributes more troops, it will be difficult for them to completely cut off the enemy's food supply.

So, these days Zhang Tiangang has been hiding here with 3,000 main forces for many days, and has not taken any action. He just wants to investigate in many ways, plan carefully, and then do a big one, which can really cut off the enemy's food supply. up.

But this is not easy for a special forces team with only 3,000 troops, but it is not impossible.

From the direction of Li Yuan Group's West Route Army, the grain roads from Chencang County Granary to Longguan are all mountain roads, and the terrain is dangerous. If they find a suitable terrain, they can make things happen.

For this, they have been fully prepared these days.

In addition to sending a large number of spies to inquire about the terrain and the specific situation of the other party's **** of food and supplies, they also transported a large number of ordnance and weapons in batches with the help of the Fanyang Chamber of Commerce, Xiaoyu Theater and the Military Intelligence Office. Small trebuchets and light crossbow guns, and of course a large number of grenades and explosive packs.

In fact, if they hadn't been waiting for these things to be delivered, making the ticket more certain, they would have acted long ago.

"Send the order. After half an hour, go to the No. 3 target point." Zhang Tiangang stood up, with a face full of fighting spirit and desire for fighting, and loudly issued the order that he had been waiting for for several days.

He is an old man next to Wang Junlin, and he knows some news that others don't.

According to Wang Junlin's plan, now that Yang Guang is dead and the Great Sui Dynasty is gone, after the first phase of the Li Yuan Group is successful, the Far East Army Group will establish a country.

When the time comes to form a formal imperial court, the military and military officials of the Far Eastern Army will be knighted, appointed, and honored.

As far as the Far East Army's long-standing practice and Wang Junlin's preferences, they must be sorted according to military merit.

Although Zhang Tiangang was the first old man to follow Wang Junlin, he was even a real close minister.

But because of the particularity of the Special Forces, Zhang Tiangang's military achievements have not been the most. If he wants to become the top founding hero after the founding of the country, he must seize this opportunity.

"Second Uncle, when will this battle be over? When will our hard work be done? After working for a few more days, I'll be exhausted." After a short rest, the laboring people seized the time to rest on the vehicles and carts that transported grain and luggage, and their faces were full of despair and numbness.

"That's right! Every day there are those who die from exhaustion. If they escape, they will be caught and killed, and their family members will be hurt, alas!" The middle-aged man known as the second uncle also had a look of despair and resentment.

Although Li Yuan and his son realized that there were various problems in the demise of Sui II, one of the root causes may be that they did not treat the people well and regarded them as pigs and dogs.

In addition to being stimulated by some policies and systems under the rule of the Far Eastern Army, it is considered good for the people compared to other forces under the rule of the Far Eastern Army, but it is far worse than that under the rule of the Far Eastern Army.

Even Li Yuan Group's treatment of the common people is only 50 steps to 100 steps away from other forces. The bandits come out.

This has a lot to do with the interest groups represented by the Li Yuan Group. No matter how much Li Yuan and his son want to improve the lives of the people, the interest groups behind him are aristocratic families, big, middle and small nobles. Distributed to the laboring people, so it has not changed fundamentally.

Unless, as in history, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the death of Li Yuan, Li Shimin strengthened the centralization of power by various means and wiped out some powerful families. , can also overturn the boat", the people's living standards and status will be truly improved.

But in fact, the improvement is extremely limited. After Li Shimin died, many things returned to the original, because there is not much difference between the early Tang Dynasty and the early Sui Dynasty. The largest aristocratic family.

In fact, until Wu Zetian came to power in history, the seven clans and five surnames that had been passed down for thousands of years were wiped out one by one by various means, and even the clan was wiped out. Only then did the abnormally distinct hierarchy between the aristocratic families and the common people really change, and the exaggerated privileges of the noble families and the appalling injustices of the common people were eliminated.

This is also one of the reasons why Wu Zetian was discredited by various exaggerated slanders by literati in history.

No way, most of the literati at that time came from powerful families and nobles, and it was their interests that Wu Zetian violated.

…

…

The two uncles and nephews are still complaining here. At this time, the nephew glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Second uncle, I heard that the Far Eastern Army treats the people very well, and there is no labor."

The middle-aged man thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This is impossible, during the war

There must be a large number of people escorting food and grass. They don't take hard labor, who will **** them. "

The young man whispered longingly: "Second Uncle, I heard that the Far East Army has a unit called the Engineer Battalion, which is specially used to **** food and grass and the Battalion. For labor, food and wages will also be paid as employment."

When the middle-aged man heard it, he also looked yearning, but he finally shook his head and said: "I still don't believe in such a good thing. For many years, those noble masters have always regarded us bitter people as pigs." Like a dog, the Far Eastern Army should be the nobles who control the government and the army, how could they be so kind to us.

"Hey! If possible, I really want to go to the counties and counties under the rule of the Far Eastern Army to see if their people are like the legends. I am afraid of the days when the noble landlords and the government will exploit you.” The young man still believed that what he had heard about the Far Eastern Army was true, but at this moment he heard the screams of the laborers, and watched the soldiers escorting the food and grass begin to beat the laborers and beat them. Yelling and setting off, he hurriedly got up to prepare to push the grain cart, because he knew that if he moved slowly, he would be whipped.

The middle-aged man also climbed up at the fastest speed in the first place.

It's just that the young man inadvertently turned to the woods beside the road for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Second Uncle, there seems to be something shining in the woods."

"Huh?" The middle-aged man put his hands on the grain cart, and turned his head to look at the words, but because his eyes were not very good, he was quite old and dim, so he didn't see anything.

But he found that his nephew had opened his mouth wide and looked forward in surprise, unable to even make a sound.

The middle-aged man quickly looked around, and found that many laborers around him were also staring at the woods to the west in a daze.

Then there was another messy sound coming from that direction, and he finally saw it clearly.

"My God."

With an exclamation, the middle-aged man looked at the old forest. It is said to be a deep mountain forest with a width of sixty miles. The leaves are so dense that it can almost block the sun. You will definitely be dizzy and unable to tell north and south.

For many years, no one likes to walk from the direction of Longguan through this mountain forest, let alone hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.

The early winter sun shines into the forest through the gaps in the leaves, reflecting the steel armor on the officers and soldiers of the Special Forces.

After receiving the report from the spies and walking to the edge of the forest, Zhang Tiangang ordered the soldiers to rest for the last time, and then put on steel armor and marched in a column.

Although the opposite side seemed to be only a group of Lijiajun soldiers transporting food and grass, Zhang Tiangang ordered the army to form a battle formation, and divided the troops into three sides, surrounded the food and grass team as quickly as possible, and then held Quick Crossbow came out with a spear in hand.

Following Zhang Tiangang's order, a group of soldiers of the Special Operations Team put down the masks on their helmets, and they walked over firmly, trampling the branches and weeds mercilessly into the soil.

This group of troops, who didn't know how many at a time, rushed up the road from the woods silently.
