Chapter 127: The Expedition (6)

Three months have passed in a flash, under the attention of the generalissimo of Zhengxi and the king of Muyang, Xiyang Pass and the surrounding acropolis have been connected to the telephone, Li Meng stipulates that each acropolis must report to Xiyang Pass every other hour, Li Meng wants to cultivate their habit of using the telephone, and at other times, the various acropolis can be freely contacted, and the control center is in a courtyard next to the marshal's mansion.

He Taiyi: "This kind of phone made by the prince is so easy to use, without leaving home, the prince can know the situation of each acropolis, and he can say whatever he wants." ”

Li Meng: "What is the credit of the county guard, is the telephone and telephone line connecting the front line and Xiyang Pass ready?"

Mrs. He bowed down and said: "Yes, Lord Wang, a three-thousand-mile long telephone line has been prepared, which can be laid with just an order from the Lord Wang, but, Lord Wang, once this enemy attacks us, he will inevitably find our telephone line, and he will also destroy them first, I am afraid it will not be easy to guard." ”

Li Meng said confidently: "Don't worry about He Junshou, this king will naturally arrange personnel to protect, arrange a post every twenty miles, where we are attacked, we will support where, even if it is cut off, we will know where the enemy is? This is the purpose of our telephone, why has there been no good news from the front line so far?"

He Taiyi said with an embarrassed face: "The Northern Barbarian State has not dispatched the main force, General Wu Di is worried about what the Northern Barbarian Kingdom is playing, so he has not attacked with all his strength, and the Western Regions Alliance army opposite General Gomen is as many as 300,000, and it is difficult to achieve results in a rash attack, unless the imperial court increases the number of troops, ......"

"The imperial court will not increase troops so quickly, it is about to enter winter, the west is cold, it is not the best season to send troops, maybe the spring of next year is a good time. ”

Li Meng had already expected that this battle would be protracted, but he did not expect that this battle would be tepid at the beginning, and Xiyang Pass would have nothing to do except continuously send grain and grass to the front line.

Li Meng's recent Heavenly Eye Technique (Primary) has faint signs of breakthrough, and it can be used twice before it needs to rest and recover, it happens to be a round trip, although Li Meng can go in and out of that pot space, and he can also bring something in, but there are too few things to bring, and he is tired when he exceeds twenty catties, and the diligent practice that the old man said is really useful, although the progress is very slow.

Li Meng was overjoyed with this progress, the things sent into the pot space were some rare spiritual materials, but the method of how to drive the divine cauldron through the space was confusing, and the method of controlling time that the old man said was even more unclear.

A long time ago, Li Meng had an idea to be able to bring the spiritual materials of this world back to the original world, at least his parents and Yu Yan could use them, but unfortunately, he accidentally brought Qixia back last time, and the idea of his relatives eating spiritual materials has not been realized, Qixia, Yan Jiaojiao, Li Meng sighed for a while, he was still too weak in the original world, and he was still a supporting role in this world......

The Nine Emperor Princes Muwen has not been idle during this time, as soon as he has time, he will run outside the city to lead a team to practice siege and field battles, Li Meng is worried that this kid is too impulsive to run to the front line, so let those officers and soldiers who defend the city not be polite, once the Nine Emperor Princes appear in the place immediately ruthless, the Nine Emperor Princes Muwen has been wiped out twenty times in the simulated siege battle, and the number of field battles annihilated is even more uncountable.

Weapons used in simulated warfare are naturally harmless, such as long-range weapons with only white lime arrows and white lime arrows removed, and swords are also made of wood.

After this time, Mu Wen finally became much more honest.

In addition to raising food and grass for the winter, Li Meng also drew the topographic map of the Western Regions according to the oral description of the guide and the merchants who had been to the Western Regions, one is a paper map, and the other is a sand table battle map, once the sand table map is made, it is enough to occupy the position of a side hall, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are too big, the legend is that there are more than 20,000 li of territory, only the seven eastern countries are nearly 10,000 li, the more west, even those merchants have not been there, they can only listen to their mutual legends of the description of a few words, and finally, Li Meng simply found a staff member who is responsible for collecting information in this regard。

"Second brother, I don't know how long it will take for this big battle to go down, or the younger brother will return to Yunjing to ask his father for more troops?"

Mu Wen has experienced dozens of regimental annihilations after a lot of convergence, people are not so impulsive, just a few months seem to have experienced more than ten years of tempering, one-on-one siege is not destroyed is strange, especially this prince is so eye-catching on the battlefield, as long as he appears, a rain of arrows covers the battle is basically over.

Li Meng hurriedly said: "Okay, the ninth brother can report the situation here to his father when he goes back this time, the winter supplies of the soldiers are slightly insufficient, and they can also raise a batch, don't hurry back first, and it's not too late to lead a large number of people to come over in the spring of the next year." ”

Grape wine luminous glass, want to drink pipa immediately urge.

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times?

Mu Wen finally left, and Li Meng finally didn't have to ask his subordinates every day what the Nine Emperors had planned for today.

As the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, Li Meng also has to take some time every day to think about the military, in addition to the briefings from the two deputy marshals on the front, Li Meng occasionally took Miao Yidao, the leader of the Imperial Forest Government Intelligence Bureau, and Zhang Fei, the leader of the Zuowei Government Intelligence Bureau, and others to simulate the battle formation on the map or on the sand table.

"Commander Miao, Commander Zhang, this king plans to raid Wuzhou, the capital of Western Wu today, and the route chosen is the southern foot of Tianhuang Mountain, how do you think it is appropriate to march?"

The two commanders frowned, the southern foot of Tianhuang Mountain is located in the south of the Western Regions, where the mountains and forests are dense, the environment is complex, there are several mountain roads but the roads are narrow, not suitable for large troops to deploy, the place where General Gomen and the regular army of Xiwu are arrayed is located in the northern steppe of Tianhuang Mountain, if you attack from the southern foothills, it will be more than 2,000 miles away, and you have to cross Tianhuang Mountain, heavy equipment cannot pass at all, and even horses are difficult to pass.

Miao Yidao frowned and said: "Marshal, the road there is rugged and difficult, the cavalry is difficult to pass, and only a large number of infantry manpower can be used, but crossing the Tianhuang Mountain is the prairie, and it takes three hundred miles of grassland to reach Wuzhou after going down the mountain. ”

Li Meng nodded and said, "If you send out an army of 100,000, how many horses can you carry?"

"10,000 cavalry is already the limit, it must be an empty horse on foot to cross Tianhuang Mountain, the maximum weight cannot exceed 50 catties, and 10,000 horses must be prepared to lose one to two percent. ”

Li Meng turned his gaze to the junction of the Western Wu Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom.

Zhang Fei: "Marshal, although this place is the Gobi and the grassland region, there is a shortage of water, once the enemy guards the Gobi exit and cuts off the water source, without the enemy attacking, the lack of water alone is enough for our army to suffer heavy losses." ”

As the days passed, although Li Meng was wasted in cultivation, and after a long time with these soldiers, these subordinates felt that the second prince did not seem to be as incompetent as the legend, and a telephone network firmly controlled everything in Xiyang Pass, and even how many bows and arrows each acropolis had, how many cotton clothes were missing, and how many soldiers had colds were all understood by King Muyang in time, and in less than an hour, the medicine needed by the military doctors was immediately sent from Xiyang Pass to various acropolises, and two telephone lines to the western front line were also being laid.
