In the dark night, the barracks of the Xuanwu Legion were crowded, and all the soldiers were in full swing preparing for the upcoming battle.

A moment later, a large number of soldiers had gathered in front of Long Aotian, and these people were all soldiers of the second battalion!

After glancing at the people in front of him, Long Aotian took a deep breath and said to the people below, "I believe everyone knows what we are doing here today!" That's right, we are about to face a fierce battle, as the vanguard battalion we are the vanguard of the legion, we must meet the strongest test, this battle is the first time I have led you to fight since I took this position, I hope this time we can fight a beautiful battle, you are the best, I believe you will be able to do it, tell me do you have confidence?"

"Yes!"

The crowd shouted. Perhaps it was because they were worried that the enemy troops on the opposite side would find out about their actions and hear their voices, and everyone had lowered their voices to the lowest level, but Long Aotian could still feel their full confidence and strong faith.

"Okay, everyone rest in place now, and we'll be ready to leave in an hour!"

Looking at the time, Long Aotian said to the people below, there is still a certain amount of time left before the agreed time, and they can wait for Norton's attack order here.

The waiting time seemed to be particularly difficult, after a "long" period of time, Long Aotian finally received the order summoned by Knowlton, he knew that it seemed that the operation was about to begin, and immediately rushed to Knowlton's camp.

When he came to Knowlton's handsome camp, Long Aotian saw that at this moment, all the officers above the battalion commander in the legion were already densely packed here. At this moment, Knowlton was already sitting at the top and waiting for everyone. There was a serious and tense atmosphere in the room.

After a few moments, seeing that everyone had gathered, Knowlton said to the people below, "Now let's start the official meeting!"

After hearing Knowlton's words, everyone immediately became serious and looked at Knowton in unison.

"It's a little over an hour before our offensive time, are you ready?"

Looking at the time, Knowlton asked the crowd.

"Ready!"

"Well, now let's arrange a plan of action for this battle. ”

Immediately, I saw a soldier take out a one-man long map and spread it out on the table, which showed the terrain of Baoji Pass and this area.

"This is the geographical location where we are now, and this is Baoji Pass!"

Pointing to two locations on the map, Knowlton said, and then he continued: "Our goal this time is to be able to take Baoji City, even if we can't take it, we must let them be seriously injured and prepare for our next battle." ”

"After the battle begins, the heavy cavalry and light cavalry units remain in the rear, ready to meet the enemy's troops rushing out of the city at any time, the heavy and light armoured men and the soldiers of the forward battalion will be the vanguard to take the lead in attacking the enemy's city on the east and west sides and in the middle, the archers will attack the soldiers on the enemy wall in the middle position to cover the rest of the troops, the siege equipment behind will be controlled by infantry, and the ladder team must follow behind the three troops in front, and when they reach the bottom of the tower, you must also get there to prepare them for their climb。 Catapults and ranged bows must be used to suppress enemies on the walls. ”

Looking at all the officers who were doing it, Knowlton said all his arrangements in one breath.

"Do you have any questions?"

After saying this, Knowlton looked at the crowd and asked.

"Nope!"

Hearing Knowlton's question, everyone replied in unison.

"Okay, if not, then you will go and prepare, and in an hour our attack will officially begin, and then the leaders of each team will directly lead your team to start fighting, remember that in any case, we will withdraw our troops before dawn in the morning, and do not fight the enemy. ”

In the end, Knowlton still seriously explained the time of withdrawal, after all, the possibility of capturing Baoji Pass, which has nearly 200,000 guards, is very small in one day today, and their goal is very clear, that is, to weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible to achieve the purpose of paving the way for the subsequent battle.

After hearing Knowlton's words, everyone answered solemnly, and then slowly withdrew from the camp and walked towards their troops. Now they don't have much time left, and they must seize this last bit of time to account for the task that Norton has just assigned to their side and make a complete plan.

After the meeting was disbanded, Long Aotian did not go directly back to his battalion headquarters, and the rest of the officers naturally did not go back immediately, they also held a meeting of each division headquarters to make a detailed assignment of the tasks assigned by Norton just now.

Coming to Sinzina's room, several officers of the forward battalion were also gathered here at this moment.

"I think what General Norton said just now should be clear to everyone, so I won't reiterate it, now let's discuss the specific plan!"

Looking at the crowd doing it, Sinzina sighed and said. This time they were assigned to attack the middle of the enemy, which is a very disadvantageous position, this side is the enemy's main defensive area, naturally a large number of enemy troops have gathered, so they will definitely suffer from many obstacles, the battle situation must be difficult, maybe after this battle their losses will increase to a large number. Thinking of the fierce battle that was about to start, thinking of those soldiers who are still alive now, after the battle, there may be a lot of hot people, from now on to close their eyes and leave this world, he can't help but feel a depression in his heart.

"This time our target is the front of the enemy, so we must face a brutal battle, and we must be ready for this hard battle. ”

After glancing at all the people present, Sinzina said heavily.

Hearing what he said, the people present also fell silent for a while, and everyone was a soldier who understood the meaning of what Sinzina said.

"Okay, now I'll assign the task, the team of the first division will play the vanguard position, and the team of your second division will follow us to cover for us, Aotian, after reaching the city, your team of thousands of horsemen must seize any opportunity to climb the city tower and start a frontal battle with the enemy, and the rest of the team will follow you behind!"

Looking at Long Aotian, Sinzina said after a deep groan.

After hearing Sinzina's words, Long Aotian nodded heavily, he knew what Sinzina's arrangement meant, the combat effectiveness of their battalion can be said to be the strongest combat force in the forward battalion, under the cover of Sinzina and others, after they arrived at the city, they had to wait for the city tower first, the purpose was obvious, that is, to use their combat effectiveness and personal ability to open an opening for the team behind, so that the rest of the team could climb the city wall to fight, of course, in this way, the task they face will be a very heavy task, and their losses will also be great。

Then, under Sinzina's explanation, everyone discussed the specific tactics again, and then disbanded and returned to their own army, and they would start attacking Baoji Pass in an hour.

········

"Aotian, what's going on, when are we going to start attacking?"

As soon as he returned to his barracks, Bird greeted him and asked.

"Officially attack in an hour! Inform everyone to get ready, and let the captains of the thousand horsemen come over for a meeting!"

Looking at Bodron Aotian and taking a breath, he said.

After about half an hour, Long Aotian was sitting in front of all the thousand horsemen.

After seeing everyone coming, Long Aotian explained to them the arrangements and some specific action plans made by Norton and Sinzina during the meeting just now, and then looked at everyone to see if they had any opinions.

After a while, seeing that everyone had no opinions, Long Aotian continued to speak: "Since everyone has no opinions, then this matter has been decided. Later, after the battle begins, everyone should pay attention to protect themselves, and after reaching the bottom of the tower, the soldiers of the 4,000 and 3,000 cavalry will go upstairs first, and the rest of the team will keep up with the pace of attack!"

Long Aotian naturally has his own intentions in making such an arrangement, he knows the situation of the 3,000 cavalry and the 4,000 cavalry very well, if their battalion is the strongest combat effectiveness in the forward battalion, then the 3,000 cavalry and the 4,000 cavalry are definitely the best in this battalion, their combat effectiveness is definitely the first-class thousand cavalry in the entire forward battalion, and there are more masters in their two thousand cavalry, for example, it is a talent like Gretel, he can use the ability of these two thousand cavalry to achieve a certain offensive effect。

"Landry, Gretel, it's up to you to succeed or fail this time, I hope you don't let me down!"

After finishing speaking, Long Aotian took a deep look at the two of them and said earnestly.

After hearing Long Aotian's words, the two of them also nodded their heads heavily to show that they understood.

"Alright, then let's all disperse, go back and prepare for our battle together!"

After thinking about it for a while, there was nothing to say, and Long Aotian said to everyone.

After watching everyone retreat outside, Long Aotian also looked at the military camp that was silent again at this moment in unison, and sighed secretly: "The calm before the storm!" and then looked back at Bird and Link.

········

"The second battalion is ready, let's go!"

Time seemed to pass very fast at this time, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and at this time, Long Aotian heard Xinzina's call.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the entire barracks immediately took action, and everyone gathered together as fast as they could.

In addition, the rest of the troops also moved at this time, and suddenly the entire Xuanwu Legion was filled with the footsteps of soldiers, the footsteps of horses, and the sound of orders.
