Inside the temporary headquarters outside Linshan County

"We paid heavy casualties this time to capture the two hills of the barren mountain, and only 700 of the 2,000 men of the 1st Corps remained, and there were not many people who could continue to fight."

"The comrades of the First Corps have completed the vanguard task excellently and fought a very beautiful tough battle, and we must go all out to fight this battle well!"

Wang Lanling didn't expect such a large casualty, originally thought that there were no fortifications such as trenches and earth buildings, and with an advanced system that was more than a hundred years old from the other party, it would be easier to win.

After the First Corps fell into a bitter battle, Wang Lanling urgently mobilized the assistance of the Second Corps, which consolidated the victory.

Chai Tuo said: "Now that the people of the engineer regiment and the militia regiment are rapidly assembling towards the two hills and building fortifications, will we send people to continue to lure the enemy army next?" ”

Wang Lanling shook his head, "Not for the time being." ”

"My original plan was to increase the number of troops from the left and right sides where the left and right sides were slightly smoother when the Shanzhou Army and the Muzhou Army were supporting each other, so as to disrupt the deployment of the other side."

"We lack intelligence personnel on our side, so we don't know the various logistics routes and baggage deployments of the other side, so we can only wait for them to be mobilized."

"Now that the other party has seen through my plan and chose to recapture the two lost positions first, then we can only drag it out first."

When Wang Lanling said this, he said suspiciously, "There is one thing I don't understand, those two mountains are not particularly important geographical locations, why don't they directly attack us." ”

"If you march directly and leave some people to defend the large camp, with the advantage of numbers and cavalry, you can quickly expand the battlefield, so that the forces of both sides are spread out like pancakes."

"In this case, it is more advantageous to have a numerical advantage."

"Of course, I plan to use the advantage of elite soldiers to offset the numerical advantage, but these victories over the entire battle are trivial, and in the end, it is still the capture of Lanling County that is considered a victory."

What Wang Lanling couldn't figure out was that the other party didn't advance slowly after stopping, but had to rush back the two hills.

Hu Zhong said, "In my opinion, they are afraid that you will set fires, so they pay special attention to the two mountains where there is nothing to burn, and do not let our troops step into the grasslands. ”

Wang Lanling frowned.

He never had that idea, the prairie in the spring is not so easy to burn.

In particular, the generation of Yanshan Lake is mostly aquatic plants near rivers and lakes, and this situation cannot be burned at all.

But soon Wang Lanling realized what Hu Zhong was thinking.

"I see, I see."

What he himself thinks he can't do, others don't think so.

Even a one-hundred-percent chance? Jiang Kedi would not let Wang Lanling advance the battle line to the grassland area.

Wang Lanling burned over the mountains, the grasslands, and the rivers...... These are real people.

So Jiang Kedi and Shanzhou Mu Jiang Dane are also very protective of this? The entire regiment was mentally prepared to extinguish the fire and carried a lot of fire extinguishing tools.

Even a place to garrison? They were all chosen in places that are not easy to catch fire.

After understanding why the Imperial Team wanted to take back those two positions? Wang Lanling said, "Let Gong Yueman mobilize some merchants who come in from outside to buy sulfur, fire oil and other materials." ”

The people in the command all realized who Wang Lanling was for.

Chai Tuo said: "The current position of the Chinese military is >>

Vacant a thousand meters? Do we take it back? ”

Wang Lanling thought for a while, and quickly said, "This time the matter may drag on for a long time?" If the other side goes all out to take down those two hills? It means that we are in a hurry to win, and if we just fight intermittently and don't let us down, then we are ready to delay time. ”

Hu Santu said: "My lord, do you think they are procrastinating? Good thing for us? Or is it a bad thing? ”

Wang Lanling said, "Bad thing. ”

"Tens of thousands of us are consumed here, and the affairs of Shanhai County will be busy here, and many things cannot be carried out at full strength, and if I am here all the time, the rear will be unstable."

Tian Buxing asked, "If you continue to delay?" Is it a good thing for the Shanzhou Army and the Muzhou Army, or a bad thing? ”

Wang Lanling nodded and said, "Bad thing." ”

"As far as I know? Before this battle, the soldiers all received a temporary sum of money? Shanzhou Mu and Jiang Kedi were in charge of coordination, so it was roughly in the hands of those soldiers. ”

"But this kind of thing can't last long? More than a month? The soldiers' will to fight will go wrong. ”

"The will of the soldiers cannot influence the army? They don't want to die, they have to fight hard, but Shanzhou Mu and Jiang Kedi and others have to return to their own territory as soon as possible, and these two people can't afford to drag it out. ”

"Now because of my affairs, Shanzhou and Muzhou are actually not stable, and after Shanzhou Muzhou brought the elite of Shanzhou over, it is easy for some problems to arise in Shanzhou."

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king, especially without the suppression of Shanzhou Mu and those talents under him, some people will only have no lower limit.

And people at the bottom will also be more likely to do some risky things.

Right now, it's all about delaying time.

Tian Buxing said, "If we fight down another mountain, wouldn't things be better?" ”

Wang Lanling shook his head, "Do you have a way to provide supplies and support in three ways?" The reason for the division on the left and right is that the defensive lines of both sides are expanded to the limit, and it is easier to observe the movement of enemy troops. ”

"If a new battlefield is opened between two points, then once our main forces are pinned, they will no longer be able to provide support to the other two sides."

"The comrades of the First Army are the most elite part of our entire army, and they have found out the truth for us, so we should not waste the warnings that so many comrades have sacrificed in exchange."

Tian Buxing and the others quickly dispelled the idea of fighting down another hill and expanding the results of the battle.

Wang Lanling didn't want to continue the offensive anymore, he already understood the true combat effectiveness of the Shanzhou Army against the Muzhou Army.

The blood feud of generations, as well as the cognition and influence he has received since he was a child, plus Wang Lanling has already killed the Shanzhou army on two hills, and the next battle will only be more difficult to fight.

He continued to fight, and he fought hard battles, so the most rational way was to wait for the Shanzhou army to have problems on its own.

In many battles in history, it is actually about who made the mistake first......

On the other side, Shanzhou Mu also had a gloomy face.

His subordinates are all elites, and he is also very familiar with the combat effectiveness of several armies under him, and now after statistics, it is found that more than 4,000 elites died on this day!

"Harassment by small forces, for the time being."

This time the battle is very difficult to fight, and it has come time to dispatch the ace troops of Longzhou!

This is not a carp soldier, but a superior dragon soldier!
