Kang Yan scattered the strength of three infantry battalions and one firearms battalion and deployed them to several towns bordering Annam to strengthen the local garrison's defenses, and at the same time, he personally sent more than 1,000 Annan-speaking scouts to infiltrate Annam to find out the situation. (http; //

And then there's the endless training, training, and training. These armies belong to different units, they have never fought together, and they are very jerky to cooperate, and if they do not go through strict training, they will integrate everyone into one, and they will often control each other on the battlefield, which is extremely unfavorable to the war.

Because on the night when the enemy stole the camp, Luo Rou and I were not afraid of danger, and personally killed dozens of enemy soldiers. This position is already a high-ranking general in the military, and many people cannot reach this status even after a lifetime of fighting and spending a lifetime of poverty, so it is no wonder that others will have objections.

In the past few days, Luo Rou and I have also plunged into the officers and men of our battalion, training day and night.

The original commander of the guard made the enemy army steal the camp when he was afraid of the battle, hiding in the tent to worship the Buddha, Kang Yan knew about it, and was transferred to Nanning to hang up an errand. If it weren't for this guy's fear of war, maybe Luo Rou and I wouldn't be able to be generals.

The original deputy commander was named He Ruitian, more than 30 years old, and his beard was more than half a foot long, because Luo Rou and I had no experience in commanding troops, so he was left behind and still served as his deputy commander to assist me and Luo Rou.

He Ruitian is from Hunan, maybe he has eaten too many chili peppers, his temper is not very good, and he looked at me and Luo Rou on the first day. Needless to say, a thin monkey, although Luo Rou is heroic after putting on men's clothes, he does not have the masculine beauty of a soldier, how to look at the little white face, no wonder he looks down on us. Of course, how could I let him down, after two tricks on the school field (in fact, he was bullied by me and Luo Rou), he immediately became honest, and he didn't have the momentum of being the first in the world to be the first in the world, and did his best to assist me and Luo Rou.

Later, I slowly understood that he was just a little more upright (with the personality of Hunan people who would rather bend than bend), with a bad temper but definitely a strong man, proficient in the art of war, extremely caring for soldiers, and brave and brave to fight when he goes to the battlefield. He has great prestige in the heart of the sergeant, and the upper echelons also value him very much, but his former direct boss has always disliked him with an upright personality, and it is difficult for him to make things difficult for him, but now that the unreliable boss has been removed, it will not be too late for him to come out.

The full strength of this battalion was 5,700 men, and there were 5,650 men left in the first battle that night. The troops were transferred from Yunnan, and most of the soldiers were from Yunnan, and the horses under the seats were also produced in Yunnan. As for the equipment, it is the same as other cavalry, iron bows and broadswords.

As this guard commander, Luo Rou and I can be said to have a very hard time, but fortunately, on the first day, we were able to convince He Ruitian cheaply, and with his guidance, we didn't make a big fool.

Although He Ruitian was subdued by me and Luo Rou, the lowly soldiers looked at me and Luo Rou, although they didn't dare to say anything, but they couldn't help but show a little disdain in their eyes, in their eyes, following such a general into battle to kill, I am afraid that it is even more unbearable than following the previous general! Everyone can't help but worry about their future.

Needless to say, Luo Rou and I gathered the three armies and compared with Luo Rou in front of more than 5,000 people.

From swords, to guns, from the ground to horses, they fought for more than an hour, and more than 5,000 people had seen such kung fu, and they were dazzled and dizzying to see one by one.

The officers and men of the other battalions also crowded over to watch when they heard the news, and even Na Kangyan and other generals were alarmed and came to watch.

After flipping the comparison, the whole battalion was considered to have subdued us, and the eyes that looked at us became blazing, and naturally I did not dare to have any objections to our orders, and I couldn't help but think to myself: It turns out that the soldiers are all the same, wasn't it the same when I suppressed the bandits myself?

Kang Yan recruited Luo Rou and me that night, hoping that we would be the head coach and train the whole army. I couldn't resist him, Luo Rou and I agreed, and after hiding in the tent with Luo Rou for three days to remove the kung fu we had learned, we finally created the five-stroke marksmanship (the same halberd method), the five-stroke knife method, although it was self-created, but it was actually born from the tiger running marksmanship and the water knife method. These ten moves are extremely simple, and ordinary soldiers are very easy to master, and they are naturally not good for master battles, but it is very practical to kill the enemy in battle.

Next, Luo Rou and I selected a group of tall and strong people with some martial arts foundation, taught them the ten tricks, and then they went to each camp to teach them.

After Kang Yan saw these ten moves, he greatly appreciated them, saying that when attacking, he was like a tiger descending the mountain, and punctuality was like a rock of Mount Tai, and immediately ordered the whole army to practice more than once.

The other generals no longer looked at me and Luo Rou with strange eyes.

In the next few days, it was not very stable again, and the Annam sent several groups of men and horses across the border to attack our village, but fortunately, most of the villagers on the border had been moved to the rear by us to resettle without causing too many casualties to the people, and the Annam people burned down a few empty villages and retreated.

Kang Yan did not give the order to take the initiative to attack, and in his opinion, the various armies did not go through two to three months of cooperation and practice, and they were not far from a plate of loose sand when they went to the battlefield. So for the disturbance of Annam's people, we are also calm, you come, you won't get anything anyway, attack the villages, nine out of ten villages are empty, attack the cities, each city has strengthened its garrison, everyone is waiting for you to come! If you fight the village, you don't bother to pay attention to you, attacking the city is a big battle, and I won't play any turtle tactics with you at that time. They are not as strong as our army, and they have left their own place, and they are both human and land, and the danger is great, and I believe that the officers they lead will not do such a thing.

Of course, it is okay to use sneak attack tactics such as that night, but now that the vigilance has been tightened everywhere, it is difficult to sneak attack.

However, the other party did not believe in this evil, and after staying in Chongzuo for more than a month, on this day, Kang Yan suddenly called the commanders of the guards to the Shuai tent to listen to the order.

After everyone sat down, Kang Yan said: "Today's scouts sent back the news that the commander of Annan, Ruan Zhaoqi, saw that our army had attacked and harassed our army several times, and our army ignored it, thinking that our army was cowardly and proud, and decided to send his general Hu Shun to lead 30,000 troops to attack Longzhou tomorrow evening. ”

General Zuo Jiang Song immediately said: "Finally can't help it?" Then let's prepare well, don't let Ruan Zhaoqi down! ”

Zheng Haoliang, the right general, also said: "We have to entertain people well, otherwise we will fall into the reputation of the Heavenly Empire and the state of etiquette!" ”

The rest of the people also said that they wanted to teach the Annan people a good lesson and breathe a sigh of anger. One by one, they were strong-mouthed, and they didn't take the Annan people in their eyes at all.

Kang Yan waved his hand and said: "Everyone be quiet, everyone is not afraid of the enemy, this is very good, but don't underestimate the opponent, the Annan people are not papery, the battle a month ago is vivid, I hope you don't be arrogant." ”

The generals nodded yes, but they still fought non-stop.

"I have ordered Sun Jingwei in Longzhou City to strengthen the vigilance, but to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, the enemy must also arrange sentry spies in our country, if it is not detected by the right people, the enemy's attack will definitely be changed or even canceled."

"Yes, that's exactly how it should be!" Everyone said yes.

"In the same way, Chongzuo must not make any special moves, and must not let the enemy detect any abnormal movements of our army!"

"General, please give the order!" The commander of Guangxi has been fed up with the bird's spirit of the Annan people these days, and he is busy.

Everyone knew that Kang Yan had sunk into his chest, and everyone listened to his plan.

Kang Yan nodded and said, "Longzhou is more than fifty miles away, and we can't make a move in advance. The enemy is likely to retreat before dawn after being caught off guard, so reinforcements must depart at night and arrive before dawn......"

Duan Yonggang, the commander of the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry, said loudly: "The long-distance attack is the strength of my Ningyuan Iron Cavalry, please hand over the rescue task to our army to complete, and ensure that within an hour, from Chongzuo to the city of Longzhou, to the people of Annan to come to the inside and outside!" Hmph, the northern alien race is so fierce and the wolf that we beat is rushing, why should little Annan be worried. ”

Wu Ruilin hurriedly said: "Don't look at our army as infantry, it still rushed to Longzhou overnight, general, please hand over the task to our army." ”

Duan Yonggang said with disdain: "Even if you are allowed to run, do you still have the strength to fight again?" Aren't they tired and half dead, don't they send meat to their mouths? ”

Although the words are not good, they are the truth, Wu Ruilin also knows this, his face is red, his eyes are unwilling, but he doesn't know how to refute.

Kang Yan said: "General Duan has other priorities, and the matter of support ......"

"It's better to leave it to the young general!" I said suddenly: "Although it is the first time to lead the army, the heart of killing the enemy and serving the country is no less than that of the generals, please give the young general a chance!" ”

Although everyone has some respect for me, they just admire my martial arts, and I am still too tender in their eyes to lead troops to fight, and the opposition is naturally not small.

Duan Yonggang screamed the loudest, and he couldn't see anything more important than rescuing Longzhou and fighting the enemy under the city.

Kang Yan seems to have planned to let me lead the troops to rescue Longzhou a long time ago, my wit, he already knew when Luxi suppressed the bandits, and he has strong confidence in me, needless to say, it is against public opinion, I became the commander of the vanguard of this reinforcement.

"There are 8,000 elite soldiers in Longzhou City, and there are more than 5,000 General Hewang, but 13,000 people, the enemy army is twice as much, and the troops are too thin, Wu Ruilin!"

"In!" Wu Ruilin knew that there was something about him, and replied loudly.

"You command two battalions of soldiers, and then support."

"Yes!" A smile began to appear on Wu Ruilin's face.

"General Duan Yonggang Duan, you lead Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry and General Wang to set off at the same time, your destination - go up and down! Surrender is the only way for the enemy to retreat, you lead the troops to set up an ambush here, and when the defeated soldiers retreat here, immediately lead the army to cover the kill. ”

Duan Yonggang was originally a little unhappy, but after learning that there was such an important task, he said excitedly: "Yes, the young general will never dare to insult his life!" ”

"The rest of the ministries are still in their own way!"

"Order!" Everyone bowed in response.

The tactics were thus decided, and after discussing the details, the generals left one after another.
