Chapter 541: Strategic Retreat!

On 23 March, Wang Lanling personally went to the battlefield to command.

The armies of both sides were constantly massing, and the scene gradually reached the point where both sides needed to be cautious.

In the history of the empire, it is not without battles of tens of thousands of people, but the scene is different now.

Yanshan Lake Headquarters in Yanshan County

Shanzhou Mu Jiang Dane's face was serious at this time, because of his presence, many generals and staff members in the command headquarters maintained a cautious silence.

"Wang Lanling captured the entire Shanhai County this winter, and got 40,000 soldiers from Giant Whale Island, and there are currently 60,000 thieves and 4 million anti-people."

Jiang Dane didn't say anything about it here, but thought about things.

The rest of the people did not dare to speak at this time, and continued to maintain an unbearably depressing dullness.

This number is not a small number, and the people present are basically people who have fought in battles, although they are all petty fights, but they also know the strength that Wang Lanling has at this time.

Although they said that they were 200,000 troops, the regular army that was really responsible for the battle was more than 100,000, and the rest were miscellaneous logistics armies.

Jiang Dane quickly looked at the man sitting in the corner.

"Zhiheng, you take the first step, how is the situation on the Muzhou side?"

Jiang Zhiheng is the younger generation of Shanzhou Mu, and he belongs to the rare talent in the Jiang family, but he does not belong to Shanzhou Mu's own family.

Even if the surname is Jiang, it is divided into many factions.

Jiang Zhiheng stood up and said, "I have personally visited several military camps, and although what the clan and local officials said is very good, I thought that the combat effectiveness here could no longer be counted on. ”

"The main combat power of the Muzhou Legion has been defeated, and the remaining people can only be used as miscellaneous troops, and after they are really on the battlefield, it will be difficult to control after the large number of people gathers."

"Because Muzhou's side has deducted military funds several times, coupled with being bewitched by Wang Lanling, he is dissatisfied with the imperial court, if he can't fight quickly, these miscellaneous soldiers will soon make trouble, and they must be guarded against."

Shanzhou Mu has learned a little about things in Muzhou, and after Wang Lanling made trouble last time and told all his wages, he also had a lot of problems on his side.

Regarding Jiang Zhiheng's words, Shanzhou Mu did not make a decision, but looked at the local general.

"Mian Mao, you were born in a family of generals, and you have commanded the army in Muzhou for many years, and you have risen from the military department little by little? Jiang Zhiheng's words? What do you think? ”

Mian Mao is a veteran, and he is also the highest-ranking one among the non-clan generals.

The last general thinks that this is not comprehensive? Isn't the Muzhou Legion only in Jinshan County and Muzhou Prefecture? What can really be fought is the army of Tianmu County, and the Yang God Army of Yanshan County. ”

Shanzhou Mu showed a disdainful sneer?" Forget about Tianmu County, there are indeed a lot of elite soldiers there? But the Yang God Army of Yanshan County? It's just a local chicken. ”

As a battle-hardened general, Shanzhou Mu is aware of the strength of those religious soldiers.

Brave and not afraid of death, even if you deal with those farmers and martial arts masters, in front of guns? These people are just a bunch of rotten meat.

The Empire has always dared to kill? I've never been afraid that you have a lot of people, and I'm not afraid that you're hiding in the people.

Kill all!

"Let's continue to talk about how to deal with Wang Lanling, according to the report from the spies, Wang Lanling is constantly building muskets and artillery, and has also gathered many people to familiarize themselves with guns and fighting skills."

Shanzhou Mu knows very well how troublesome Wang Lanling is? This man is completely moving towards the last thing the empire wants.

Now this place in Shanhai County has gradually become a steel plate, a field that cannot be suppressed by virtue of the majesty of the empire and the landing of people.

Mian Mao said: "Wang Lanling has not cut off trade with Yanshan County and Jinshan County? Now that it occupies Giant Whale Island, can it still trade with Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou? We should quickly cut off this trade and prevent anyone from passing on information to Wang Lanling! ”

Shanzhou Mu nodded? Good. ”

Wangu asked at this time, "Now that the weather is gradually getting warmer?" Is our army going to launch an offensive? Exploring the reality over there? ”

Shanzhou Mu said: "Let the infantry battalion in Shanzhou attack, the number is about 5,000 people, and see the specific number over there." ”

Wangu was about to say yes when he heard footsteps.

Soon the footsteps stopped outside.

"Report! Enlightened General! The right flank of the Huwei Army was attacked by Wang Lanling's army, and it was Wang Lanling's first corps that attacked! ”

"There are a lot of bandits, and the escort army has sent people to ask for support!"

Shanzhou Mu's eyes widened suddenly, he couldn't believe this!

Wang Lanling actually took the initiative to attack?

Jiang Wenhe, the son of Shanzhou Mu, quickly stood up and said, "How could Wang Lanling take the initiative to attack, he was not guarded?" ”

It was they who came to fight Wang Lanling, how could Wang Lanling take the initiative to attack?

Doesn't that make sense?!

Mian Mao quickly said, "General! Wang Lanling's thousands of people dare to fight with tens of thousands of people, and now that his strength has risen sharply, he must be the first to win the victory to stabilize the rebellion's military spirit, and we must not let him succeed at this time! ”

"As long as his attack is repelled now, then the morale of Shanhai County will inevitably decline!"

Shanzhou Mu has calmed down, Wang Lanling is indeed very good at using soldiers, and he can no longer treat Wang Lanling with the usual mentality of fighting against thieves.

After thinking about it for a while, Shanzhou Mu thought of something.

"How long will it take for the Tiger Army's position to be on our side?"

Wan Gu quickly said: "We have the five armies of Huwei, Yingyang, Longteng, Xuanwu, and Qilin, and the Yingyang Army is responsible for flanking attack, which is 20,000 meters away from our headquarters. ”

20,000 meters is at least four or five hours to pass, but this is the speed of elite infantry.

After thinking for a while, Shanzhou Mu said decisively: "Linghuwei, Xuanwu, and Qilin troops attack Wang Lanling's camp!" Straight in! ”

The battlefield between the two sides is the area around Yanshan Lake.

Wang Lanling advanced the battlefield here, using the rivers and grasslands around Yanshan Lake as a division.

In the vicinity, there are not only water and grass for the horses to eat, but also lakes and farmlands to provide food.

However, the empire eats fish, meat, rice and noodles from Yanshan Lake, and Wang Lanling eats the army meals transported from the rear.

Of course, the army will not give money for food, not only will they not give money, but they will also beat people and rob people to occupy houses!

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

After discovering that the army in the opposite camp was beginning to assemble, Lao Tao quickly shouted.

Although this is the location of the camp in the center, Wang Lanling is not here.

The militia team quickly ran away with their luggage, and these people have been training in the past few months, and Heishui County attaches more importance to this.

More than 2,000 people were ordinary peasant workers half a year ago, but now they are all masters of running, although they are not as good as trains and bicycles, but they are faster and more durable than horses!

Iron pots, bedding, button-type detachable tent cloths, sticks, boxes, bags of rice grain, firearms and ammunition, and baggage with messy things......

Soon, the camp, which originally looked luxurious and solemn, was dismantled by these people and turned into clean land.

"Run! Come on! Don't look back! A point collection! ”

Lao Tao shouted loudly, he rode his horse, and ran out first.

After everyone on this side had run away, the army on that side had just assembled and approached this side.

At this time, the scouters also saw from the telescope the people running out of the mountains.

"The enemy has fled! Chase quickly! Chase quickly! ”
