Chapter 225: Elite Soldiers
"Yes, the next is the sin general Fang to the north. ”
Fang Beijin stood up, knelt down in front of me and said, "Please General Xu punish me as an example!"
I looked at the golden eagle inexplicably, but the golden eagle said to me: "General Fang has lost the four towns in front of Wolong Mountain, and the Divine Clan has entered the Qingfeng, and the cabinet is looking for him." ”
I looked at Fang Beijin, who looked ashamed, and said to Li Xuefeng: "I can only trouble Brother Li to run away, send this general to Taoyuan Town, and ask Old Man Tao to deal with it." ”
Li Xuefeng smiled and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I want to go back to Chaoyang Temple to check the accounts of the past few days." ”
Saying that, he stood up, and the other party went north and said, "General Fang, please!"
After the two left, I said to the golden eagle: "Brother Jin, come, sit down." ”
The golden eagle said with some embarrassment: "General Xu, this time is different from the past, if you have anything to say, just ask, the villain must know everything." ”
I smiled and said, "Sit down, let's cheer up." ”
The golden eagle sat down hesitantly and said, "General Xu, you want to ask about this general." ”
I took the teapot, poured him a pot of tea, and said with a smile: "I really want to know about the establishment of this Qingfeng Army." ”
The Qingfeng Army is divided into four parts.
To the north is the Wolong Army of the four towns in front of Wolong Mountain, with a total of 300,000 horses, led by the Wolong General Fang Beijin, mainly defending the gods of Wolong Mountain and the northern grassland.
To the east is the Jingdong Army of the Eleven Towns in the East bordering Qianyuan City, with a total of 200,000 horses, led by Gao Haibo, the general of Jingdong, and mainly defends the Qianyuan Army of Qianyuan City.
The Qingfeng Army in Qingfeng City in the center, commanded by Fang Chenghe, the soldier and horse envoy of the Cabinet Military Department, can be regarded as the Imperial Forest Army, with a total of 150,000 horses.
To the west and south is the Taoyuan Army of Taoyuan Town, a total of 5,000 men, led by Tao Zhiran, the general of Qingfeng, who mainly defends the kingdom of God from the foothills of the Two Realms Mountain.
Of course, because of the existence of the Immortal Realm Array, coupled with the inaction of Tao Zhiran, who is known as the disarming and returning to the field and is obsessed with business, it is more likely that because the Kingdom of God does not disdain the territory of Qingfeng City at all, Tao Zhiran, who should have 500,000 soldiers and horses in 21 towns under his command, disbanded the soldiers and horses of the remaining 20 towns on the grounds that there was no threat to the west and south, leaving only the Taoyuan Army.
The extra military spending, in addition to building the Immortal Realm Array, was used to build this refuge for the dignitaries of Qingfeng City: Taoyuan Town.
It is precisely for this reason that the Taoyuan Army, the most powerful imaginary enemy in the past hundred years, instead focused its defense on the pass pass in the direction of Qingfeng City.
The city lord who was in retreat only gave a small note to the snowflakes of the civil and military officials, on which only one word was written, "Quasi".
This is also the main reason why the cabinet and the other two generals are dissatisfied with Tao Zhiran, why does he only have 5,000 horses, but he can use 500,000 horses for his own purposes?
"So Second Brother Xu, if you want to expand the army, Boss Tao doesn't object, just because the number of soldiers in his hand is very sufficient. ”
The golden eagle said with a smile.
Chen Qinglong and I took a big breath.
Nima, Tao Zhiran, is also bold, this city lord trusts Tao Zhiran too much, let him do nothing, and really give him half of the military expenses of Qingfeng City to build Taoyuan Town.
"It's just that since this Taoyuan Town opened up the trade route of the Two Realms Mountain, the taxes handed over to Qingfeng City every year are actually worth those military expenses, so the cabinet has turned a blind eye to this matter.
It's just that you know, this person is not right, naturally there are many people who are not satisfied, especially the Wolong General Fang Beijin, who will deliver a letter of complaint to the city lord every year, but the city lord never pays attention to him. ”
The golden eagle took a sip of tea and continued.
......
......
"Alright, alright, now for the meeting. ”
In the war room in the side hall of the General's Mansion, I sat in front of the long conference table professionally built by Carpenter Li, patted the table and said.
Li Xuefeng took out a piece of paper and read: "The third regular meeting of the Taoyuan Army, the first agenda, the order on the expansion of the Taoyuan Army to 50,000, the overall plan is, 30,000 infantry troops, 10,000 horse troops, and 10,000 industrial troops. ”
Everyone looked at each other, all of them at a loss, especially Chu Wanyuan and Huang Youliang, who were specially transferred by Li Xuefeng from Chaoyang Temple.
Only Chen Qinglong smiled, he knew the inside story.
Since I heard that the old man has a post of 500,000 horses, I have thought that he used to be too petty, and if he wants to expand the army, then expand it tenfold!
I looked at the crowd and said, "Let's talk about the situation of the soldiers first, can you handle it?"
Wu Youliang stood up and said: "General, at present, the number of defeated troops collected at the pass has exceeded 50,000, and it is not a problem to select 20,000 infantry troops from it. ”
Lin Feihu said: "Commander Lu has not yet turned around, but the horse army in the towns of the Central Plains has exceeded 10,000, and it is no problem to select 6,000, but there are no horses." ”
I nodded, turned to Li Xuefeng and said, "What about the Workers?"
Li Xuefeng said with a smile: "10,000 is no problem, including 3,000 craftsmen, Chaoyang Temple and refugees, not to mention 7,000 troops, among hundreds of thousands of refugees, it is not too easy to choose 7,000 strong ones." ”
I smiled and said, "I'll figure out a way about the horses, and let's talk about the reorganization plan." ”
Li Xuefeng laughed and continued: "The whole army is reorganized into three infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions and one engineer battalion, with a total of 50,000 people, and a military department has been established, with 5,000 troops directly under it, including a scout battalion, an escort battalion and a staff headquarters. ”
I looked at the people who were even more dazed, and said with a smile: "The scout battalion is Brother Chen's 2,000 people, and the guard battalion is the guard military department, with a preliminary establishment of 2,000 people, the staff headquarters is still an empty shelf, and it will be slowly added in the future." ”
Li Xuefeng continued: "The commanders of each battalion are announced below. There are three battalions of the infantry army, each battalion has 10,000 people, the Taoshan battalion is the commander of Chu Wanyuan, the Taozhi battalion is the commander of the Baili River, and the Taogan battalion is the commander of Yang Youti. There are two battalions of the Ma Army, each with 5,000 people, Lu Feisha is the commander of the Feisha Battalion, Lin Feihu is the commander of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and Huang Youliang, the commander of the Workers' Army Battalion. Chen Qinglong, commander of the scout battalion of the military headquarters, commander of the guard battalion, and Wu Youliang, commander of the staff headquarters. ”
I continued: "General Xu Jinyue, Secretary Li Xuefeng." ”
Li Xuefeng said angrily: "There is no secretary on the plan. ”
I smiled and said, "Now I have." ”
Then I said solemnly in front of everyone: "The leadership order of the Taoyuan Army is Xu Jinyue, Wu Youliang, Li Xuefeng, Chen Qinglong, and Yang Youti. If four of the five are killed or missing, the last one must again establish a new order of five alternate leaders. ”
Everyone was shocked, looked at each other, and became serious.
I continued: "Next, I would like to ask Commander Chen Qinglong of the Scout Battalion to introduce the enemy situation. ”
......
......
On the main hall of the General's Mansion, Baili Jiang and Lu Feisha, who had just turned around, stood in front of me in armor and looked at me with suspicion.
Bailijiang is a tall and thin man in his thirties, with a serious face on his yellow and orange face, and he is not angry and arrogant.
Lu Feisha is a strong man of medium stature, square forehead and broad nose.
I smiled, threw away the lamb skewers in my hand, wiped my hands with a rag, and said to the two of them with a smile, "Sit down." ”
After the two of them sat down, I took out the paper cigarette in my arms and said to the two, "Do you smoke?"
Bailijiang glanced at me with some disgust, but Lu Feisha laughed.
I said helplessly: "If a man doesn't smoke, he will be in vain in the world!"
Baili Jiang frowned, but Lu Feisha laughed.
I lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Brother Baili must be wondering, is Tao Zhiran's dead old man old and confused, how did he find a thug to be the Taoyuan general, right?"
Bailijiang said angrily: "That's exactly what I think in my heart. ”
I smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about your thoughts on the new formation. ”
The two glanced at each other, and Baili Jiang Zhengse said: "It is more reasonable for the general to expand the army at this time, and judging from the scale of this divine punishment, 50,000 people guarding the pass are a little stretched. ”
Lu Feisha said: "There are not enough horses in the cavalry, and the last general thinks that the scout camp should be merged into the cavalry camp, after all, it is two thousand horses, and some of them are horse thieves who are skilled in bows and horses, and they can go to the battlefield without training." ”
I smiled and said noncommittally, "What else?"
Bai Lijiang said: "The last general believes that the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters can be abolished, and the General Hall is a hall of words, and there are many orders, and the officers and men on the battlefield are afraid that they will not be able to do it." ”
Lu Feisha said: "The last general thinks that the order of leadership is a good idea, which can avoid the situation where the main general dies in battle and the whole army collapses. ”
I nodded, took another puff of cigarette, and said, "Let's answer your questions one by one, I will solve the problem of insufficient horses in the cavalry, and the scout camp cannot be canceled, after all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”
The two were stunned for a moment, but soon a spark appeared in their eyes, Bailijiang lowered his head, and whispered softly in his mouth: Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
I looked at the two of them with a smile, and said in my heart, I don't know the art of war, and I want to raise objections to my preparation plan.
Ignoring the two of them, I continued: "The General Staff Headquarters is mainly responsible for formulating the battle plan, and the general is in charge of the decision. After all, no one is perfect, and no one is perfect, so can you guarantee that a general is an all-rounder? The general's duty should be more focused on checking and filling in the gaps, otherwise the generals will be exhausted, and the order of leadership will really come in handy. ”
The two of them laughed, and accepted my plan.
I also laughed and said, "Let's talk about what you saw when you went out this time, and your results." ”
Or Bailijiang spoke first.
"The Protoss has a great plan this time, our army has reached the eastern border all the way, and there are battles everywhere, and the Protoss who attacked the Jingdong Army head-on are no less than 500,000, most of them are Golden Horde and Silver Horde cavalry. If it weren't for the fact that General Jingdong supervised the army very strictly on weekdays, the Jingdong Army was in a good position, and I am afraid that the east would have already been lost. And I heard at the border that the city of Qianyuan was also attacked. ”
Lu Feisha continued: "I went all the way to the four towns in front of the mountain, and I heard that the loss of the Wolong Mountain defense line this time was because the Silver Tent used the time to lure the 200,000 people of the Wolong Army out of the grassland, and they were all annihilated in the wilderness, causing the entire defense line to collapse. ”
I shook my hand and said, "I already know about this matter, General Fang Beijin will be a guest in Old Man Tao's mansion." ”
The two glanced at each other, and Baili Jiang continued: "The direction of Wolong Mountain is mainly the Silver Tent and Iron Tent Clan troops, as well as a large number of orc troops, they bypassed Qingfeng City and went straight to the towns in the southwest. ”
Lu Feisha said: "I don't know why, when we came back, we saw that the Protoss army that had already descended to the southwest was gathering towards Qingfeng City, thinking that it was going to besiege the city. ”
I suddenly thought of what Li Jianxiong said before leaving, which Chen Qinglong reported, and he smiled and said, "I'm afraid they are coming for Taoyuan." ”
The two of them were taken aback, but I said with a smile: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, this time, let them see what the Taoyuan Army is." ”
Ignoring the suspicious gazes of the two, I asked again, "What about the results?"
Baili Jiang said: "There are thirty-one generals of the Golden Horde and more than 3,000 soldiers. There are 12 generals and more than 1,000 soldiers. ”
Lu Feisha said: "There are forty-nine generals of the Silver Tent Clan and more than 2,000 soldiers. Ninety-two generals and more than 5,000 soldiers were killed. ”
I asked curiously, "What about the orcs?"
The two of them stared at me with even more strange eyes and said, "According to General Tao's regulations, the beast clan will not be counted as a result of the battle!"
I asked, "What about the casualties?"
The two glanced at each other, Bailijiang lowered his head and said, "Seriously injured one person, lightly injured one hundred and ten people." ”
Lu Feisha said: "Fifty-five people were slightly injured. ”
What the?
I thought I had misheard, and my heart burned again.
Nima's dead old man only trained 5,000 people?
These 5,000 men and horses are all Nima's elite soldiers.
