Chapter 128: The Expedition (7)

I don't know that dozens of such offensive routes have been rehearsed, and several of the most promising routes have been repeatedly rehearsed, and even how to break through on the frontal battlefield has been repeatedly rehearsed.

There are also hundreds of members of the business association organized by Li Meng, and there is business behind Marshal Zhengxi, at least what materials the army needs, and there is a shortage of materials in various places, Li Meng will be the first to announce it here, this is authoritative information, even if you can't make too much, at least it is stable, and you don't have to worry about being arrested by the official.

Li Meng has finally gained a firm foothold in Xiyangguan in the past few months

In the forty-second year of Dingyuan, late autumn.

There was an urgent report from the front: the Northern Barbarians launched a surprise attack, and an army of 600,000 launched a fierce attack, targeting Utan and the Khanate.

General Wu Di, the deputy marshal, then launched an attack on the Eastern Hu state, and at the same time, the deputy marshal Gomen also launched an attack on the Western Wu and Wei states.

A big battle was launched before the winter, which was much beyond Li Meng's expectations.

He Taiyi frowned and said: "I heard that in the past few years, the Northern Barbarian Country has had frequent cold waves, and the cattle and sheep have suffered great losses every winter, and it is possible for the Northern Barbarian Kingdom to launch an attack in this season to prepare for the winter, but my Muye Country is not good at fighting in this season, does the prince remind the two marshals?"

Li dreamed for a moment and said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, the soldiers are fast, one is vigorous, then it declines, and three are exhausted, and the first offensive on the front line will be silent, which will damage the morale of our army, since the two deputy commanders have launched an offensive, let them attack with all their might, and let the baggage army make every effort to ensure military supplies." ”

Mrs. He bowed down and said, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”

A month has passed, the battle is very smooth, General Gomen's army of more than 200,000 has advanced to the hinterland of 300 li in the territory of Dongwu and 500 li in Wei, and General Wu Di has attacked near the capital of Donghu State, the battle line of the Eastern Coalition Army in the Western Regions is in danger, and at this time Li Meng's brows are furrowed.

"There are no large numbers of enemies annihilated!"

Miao Yidao also said with a worried face: "According to intelligence, the total strength of the Seven Nations Alliance is more than two million, even if we only share half of it, we will have one million troops, but the number of enemies destroyed by the two marshals is only about 100,000, which is very strange!"

Zhang Fei: "I'm afraid it's more than that, two million is their daily army, there are also troops supported by more than 20 other countries, and the temporarily mobilized army needs at least three million troops, and we will bear half of it will be 1.5 million." ”

Li Meng nodded and said: "Even if the left-behind army is deducted, there are still millions of mobile troops, and the ratio of troops is one to two, or even one to three, it should not be so quick to attack the hinterland of Donghu and Wei, it seems normal for Western Wu, but if the enemy suddenly surrounds us from both sides, it will be troublesome." ”

Does the Western Regions Coalition have this strength?

There is this strength!

Li Meng hurriedly arranged: "Immediately order the two generals to let them pay attention to the rear and both sides, and at the same time send the situation here to Yunjing as soon as possible, hoping that the emperor can reinforce our army of 200,000 to 300,000." ”

The military Chinese book immediately bowed down and agreed to draw up the paperwork.

However, in just two days, the situation has changed against the sky, hundreds of thousands of Western Regions coalition troops appeared on the left and right sides of the Makino Kunihara border at the same time, and these hundreds of thousands of coalition troops formed a pincer offensive as if to re-seal the border, once this situation is formed, the nearly 500,000 troops of General Gomen and General Wu Di will be blocked in the Western Regions by closing the door and beating dogs.

Li Meng was able to obtain information so quickly, thanks to the laying of telephone lines, although the telephone network has not yet reached the border, it is enough to close the distance of more than 300 miles.

As soon as Li Meng got this information, he immediately called a meeting of the main generals in Xiyang Pass.

"This king intends to blitz Wuzhou, the capital of Western Wu. ”

He Taiyi, Miao Yidao, Zhang Fei and others were shocked, the prince of waste wood would not think that he could win a thousand miles on the sand table he created, right?

Li Meng continued: "This king intends to go to the southern foot of Tianhuang Mountain to directly attack Wuzhou, the capital of the Western Wu Kingdom, in order to keep it secret, this plan is only known to everyone here, and this afternoon will set off, and this king will personally lead the team to be the vanguard; ”

He Taiyi hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, our current telephone line is only more than 1,000 miles, and it takes at least 2,000 miles from Xiyangguan Road to Wuzhou through the southern foot of Tianhuang Mountain, and only half of the distance can be laid. ”

Li Meng smiled and said: "He Junshou, let the workshop speed up the system, send more manpower, half a month is enough to make the rest, even if it is only a thousand miles, it is enough for us to shorten the distance by half, the two commanders, abandon the heavy equipment, the horses take off their armor, the heavy cavalry is all changed to light cavalry, only bring ten days of dry food, feed and weapons, you go and prepare immediately." ”

Li Meng changed the appearance of waste wood before, and directly arranged it in the form of an order.

Miao Yidao asked suspiciously: "Lord Wang, the Imperial Forest Army and the Left Guard Army have a total of 150,000 people, and the 50,000 Heavy Army want to set off together?"

Li Meng: "Yes! The original defenders of Xiyang Pass did not move, and marched according to our sand table operation. ”

Zhang Fei said: "But at the beginning, we simulated a raid on Wuzhou by 10,000 or 20,000 people, and now the 200,000 army is acting together, and it will cost 10,000 or 20,000 people just to lose their troops, and the emperor may not be able to explain it." ”

"When the brave meets on a narrow road, the emperor has me in charge, bring more ropes, and use ropes to penetrate in narrow places to reduce the difficulty of passing, go and prepare immediately, He Junshou, the key to this success depends on whether you can ensure that the phone is unblocked, and whether the follow-up grain and grass can follow up?"

Li Meng's face became more and more serious when he said this, and Mrs. He bowed down and said, "Yes, Lord Wang, as long as the Western Regions Alliance Army does not invade Xiyang County and does not disrupt our deployment, the telephone line and grain and grass will follow." ”

Li Meng: "This king guessed that the main targets of the Western Regions Alliance Army are General Gomen and General Wu Di, and they should not attack my inland within half a month, everyone can rest assured to do it, in half a month, we have already arrived in Wuzhou to drink!"

Li Meng said this, which immediately reassured Miao Yidao and Zhang Fei, this is also because Li Meng and them have simulated no less than 100 times on the sand table, and only the line at the southern foot of Tianhuang Mountain has been simulated nearly ten times, but in the past, only 10,000 or 20,000 people were dispatched, but now 200,000 people are set off together!

One or twenty thousand people? It's not enough for the enemy to stuff his teeth, so he can only attack and disturb it, and Li Meng doesn't want this.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Meng led a guard of 200 people, each with a horse, to take the lead out of the city!

Later, more than 20 guides recruited from the caravan and the local area were also prepared, 10,000 of the Royal Forest Army were in front, 1,000 of the elite baggage army were accompanied by a large number of ropes and mountain opening tools, followed by 40,000 people of the Royal Forest Army, the baggage army, and the rear team was 100,000 Left Guards.
