General Nantongmi tried to say: "Lan Shuai, the weather has turned cold, and the general doesn't trust you." Seeing that winter is coming, and we have almost nothing to do on the southern line of Huangshui, there is no war to fight, how can you be good, you have to come up with a plan as soon as possible? ”

Zhuo Luolan had already made a decision, pointed to the map and said: "I am the Demon Star of the Divine Machine, he is extremely afraid of me, don't you see him fleeing under my hands like a lost dog?" Therefore, according to the fact that he is afraid of me, he cannot be given a chance to breathe, and now it is no longer necessary for our army to stay on the southern front of Huangshui. I plan to take my brothers across the river and chase Wang Yan until he is exhausted and surrenders under my pomegranate skirt. ”

"He's not going to surrender." A general shook his head with great certainty.

"I'm a metaphor." Zhuo Luolan narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course he won't surrender, if he really surrenders, it will definitely be a fake surrender." Therefore, my purpose is not to give him a chance to gather forces that can threaten my main force in Western Xia, and I must drive him away and let him maneuver again. ”

General Nantong Mi changed his color and said: "Maybe Lan Shuai's strategy is correct, but the southern front is our defense area, the guerrillas on the southern front have not been effectively eliminated, and the people on the southern front have not all returned to their hearts." Withdrawing from the southern front at this time not only violated the military order, but also expanded the front of the Song State to deliver logistics materials, from a limited supply point to a hundred supply points full of holes! ”

Zhuo Luolan said lightly: "I have received your opinion, but my answer is: I can't take care of it." It is no longer a strategy to control the logistics line of the Song State and defeat Wang Yan. In fact, from the time he crossed the Huangshui, I think we had lost the Battle of Hehuang. Now my deployment intention is: to cross the Huangshui before the full deterioration, to be in a favorable position in the northern region, if I can press the god to defeat the gods, if not, before losing the battle of Hehuang under the stupid command of Manba, I still have the opportunity to lead my clansmen and brothers to break through from the north into Western Xia and return home. That's what I think! ”

The generals couldn't help but redden, they couldn't imagine that in Lan Shuai's opinion, the situation had already deteriorated to this point, and they were actually sitting on the absolute main force and now began to think about escaping?

But if it is really as Lan Shuai said, it is only a matter of time before losing the Battle of Hehuang, then it is true that we must find a way back before it deteriorates, otherwise once the forces of Wang Yan's troops are gathered and the Huangshui is blocked after defeating the Manba Division, it will be the other way around, and it will become me and the Southern Army Division to "cross the Huangshui and flee for our lives".

The fact that Shenji Yan was able to cross the Huangshui through four efforts was not because of Zhuo Luolan's tactical mistakes, but because of the cooperation of the guerrillas, and Wang Yan was only a small force, which was easy to operate.

But if the situation deteriorates further, when the Yugoslav Army Division needs to flee for their lives, they will not cooperate with the guerrillas, and they will only drag their feet. Moreover, the size of the troops of the Western Xia Army is larger, the variables will be greater, and the casualties will be greater.

At that time, according to Zhuo Luolan's character, he would not force himself to cross the Huangshui, but would carry out a arduous "Long March" and return to Western Xia around the distant Tubo, Qinghai, and Hu, but then just the severe cold could cause fatal casualties!

Thinking about this, they are all people who understand, the generals' eyes are red, and they know that this decision Zhuo Luolan even risked being beheaded, but only in this way can the vitality of the Henan Military Division be preserved.

Thinking of these, the subordinate coarse people were very moved.

Zhuo Luolan said again: "Don't plan to wait, pass on my order, now immediately prepare for the camp, at the latest within three days, my army will find a way to cross the Huangshui no matter what...... Hey, what are you doing here, rebel, let me down......"

But Zhuo Luolan's order was not finished, and the arrow was not thrown down, so he was dragged away from house arrest by several generals led by Nantong Mi, and they all suggested: "The last general knows that Lan Shuai is thinking about his brothers, but this will put you in an extremely unfavorable situation, you can't act now, at least wait a few more days, and then talk about it after confirming that the Taishi has done nothing." ”

"Let me out!"

"No, please wait patiently for three days, it will only take three days. After that, I swore to follow Lan Shuai. ”

……

November 1.

Wang Yan stood by the Datong River with an incomprehensible expression, watching Ma Jinsi wield his whip and blow his whistle like a traffic commander.

The old horse is so virtuous, and when he is excited, he turns into a hooligan, and he will kick people with his feet and beat people with a whip. Technically, this is not good for the people, and the small number of people who have gathered after taking Zongcheng now need their help.

But there is no way, now there are Han people in the Hehuang area, but the main ethnic group is the Qiang people, which is relatively scattered, most of them can't understand the Chinese language, and if they don't command like this, they can make a mess of the entire temporary water transportation yard, especially when it comes to loading and unloading gunpowder and fierce fire oil, and Ma Jinxi and Chen Ergou need to worry about it.

Fortunately, in this area, there is a high tolerance rate for reckless behaviors such as beating. These people don't talk about leather whips, they have long been accustomed to bloodshed, so in comparison, Song Jun's leather whip is not strange to them, and Song Jun will also pay wages, which is unprecedented.

In addition to wages, after the more delicious compressed military rations were unloaded, they would be distributed free of charge to the people of Hehuang who had gathered. So everyone is rushing to do things.

But this is far from enough, the efficiency is too low, the forces are too weak.

Since the beginning of the stationing in Zongcheng, the assembly flag has been officially erected for a few days, but in view of the bloody tactics in the early stage, there are very few guerrillas who have rushed to join the division now, and few of the people of Hehuang who have survived the war dare to come.

This is the after-effect of the bloody lightning tactics: it indicates that it will be difficult to recover from injuries after a certain time.

But Wang Yan has done his best.

The original plan was to cross the Huangshui River in mid-September at the latest, but in the face of the coercion of Zhuo Luolan's mother-in-law, the Funing Army was dragged on the southern line of Huangshui for 45 days, during which many villages and more than seven guerrilla detachments were strangled by Manba.

It is undeniable that the arm of the North District is not broken and can still be recovered, but it will take time, and the volunteers do not have time now.

One of the most unstable factors: Assuming that Wang Yan was Zhuo Luolan, he must have seen a watershed in the entire strategic situation by now, and the initiative on the Hehuang battlefield had changed hands after the fall of Zongcheng. If Zhuo Luolan was responsible for the troops and the interests of Western Xia, she would now consider the "back road".

Even: She will order the entire main force of the Henan Army Division to cross the Huangshui today. As soon as she really dared to come, it was the beginning of Wang Yanbu's nightmare.

Because she won't be stupid, she will take heavy troops to fight the Zongcheng base, then the pill. At present, the heavy artillery and field artillery in Funing County have not yet been delivered, and the division from the Jishi Army has not yet been seen, and the speed of the build-up of counteroffensive forces is much slower than expected.

So the conclusion is: if Zhuo Luolan really dares to act privately in violation of the Manba military order, the logistics lifeline that the volunteer army has finally opened will be in danger.

The current strength is impossible to withstand the Zhuo Luolan Corps, and it is impossible to hold the Zongcheng, so the only way to do so is to maneuver again. In view of the approaching winter, there were heavy troops in the west, Zhuo Luolan's heavy troops in the east, Huangshui in the south, and the Western Xia Administrative Region in the north, and the volunteers did not get the authorization to set foot in the Western Xia Administrative Region.

If that happens, the war will be confusing again.

The rest of the people didn't worry, now it was just Wang Yan who was alone watching the ships on the Datong River and worried.

"Xianggong is going to take a break, here we are watching." A personal guard worried.

"You rush to fight, and I rest. Doing this, I will carry the black pot, this is the division of labor. Wang Yan muttered to himself, and asked again, "Where has the Jishi Army gone?" Why is the vanguard still invisible? ”

"There is no news for the time being, it is certain that he is already on the march, if nothing else, he should be on the front line of Hezhou border and Anxiang Pass now." Guardway.

Wang Yan suddenly scolded: "These damn eight lambs received my secret order at the end of September, and now they have only arrived at Anxiang in a month!" If my Funing army marches like this, this battle will be an egg! Hehuang has long been a native of Western Xia. ”

There were too many issues involved, and the sergeant didn't dare to say more, so he said in a low voice: "Xiang Gong is angry, they are infantry, and there is a need for the handover of the defense area, a large number of people, food and grass, and the coordination of the march along the way, etc., it is destined not to be fast." According to the traditional requirements of our Song army, from the time they received the order, if they really arrived at Anxiang Pass in Hezhou and could not take the Yellow River water transportation, it would already be regarded as a passing march. ”

This is a fact, so Wang Yan just blushed and stopped talking.

It's useless to talk too much. If the Great Song army was all Funing army, Western Xia would not exist twenty years earlier, and there would be no need to fight this Hehuang battle at all.

Now, the time when the Jishi Army went has officially become the first lifeline of the Zongcheng base.

In order to change from guerrilla warfare to cluster positional warfare, and to destroy the main force of its Western Xia army, it was necessary to have a base, so it was necessary to hold Zongcheng.

The only advantage is that Wang Yan did not take Zongcheng before ordering the Jishi army to move eastward and cross the border from Lanzhou to join the army.

As early as after the failure of the second crossing of Huangshui, Wang Yan had a "sense of the battlefield" and knew that it was impossible to enter Xining Prefecture and join them. So at the end of September, there was a secret military order to reach the Jishi Army, asking them to march in a hurry, abandon the Yellow River water transport, go to Hezhou, and then go to Lanzhou, waiting for an opportunity to join the volunteer army.

Such a military order must have made them feel emotional, because they had already figured out and were familiar with the shortcut to circumambulate Tibet, but now they had to divert their route to the east and make a detour of a very long distance to pass through Lanzhou.

However, there is a way, they must adapt to the Great Demon King's "change of day", and if they can't do it, they are incompetent.

The Great Demon King realized that this was not called a change of order, but should be called recognizing the situation and correcting mistakes in time. Hell, isn't that army used to carry out the commander's orders, but a food digester?

Before, shouting that people will win the day is the need of pyramid schemes, and now, Da Yan also has to pray in his heart, hoping for a little luck.

The only thing to rely on now is the speed of the Stone Army.

She was not a god at the level of Zhuo Luolan, and she could not have expected that the Divine Crane would start mobilizing the Jishi Army as early as the end of September. That's for sure.

If Zhuo Luolan knew that Wang Yan had already dispatched the Jishi Army to move eastward, she would never have waited until now, and she would have led her troops across the Huangshui to chase the big goose with a hammer in the case of inaction.

So time is the lifeline, and now Zhuo Luolan is still hesitating, and she has not taken immediate action, that is, she thought that the time for the Jishi Army to enter Zongcheng would be in mid-December at the earliest. But it is actually possible that in mid-November, the first Vanguard will arrive.

So on the current Hehuang battlefield, even the concept of "luck" is intertwined, like a Taiji diagram, you have me and I have you.

Wang Yan and Zhuo Luolan each have pig teammates and divine opponents, and they both have difficult scriptures, and they both need to tilt the balance of luck.

At present, luck still favors Wang Yan more. Because everyone has pig teammates and god opponents now, Wang Yan is the commander who has the final say. But Zhuo Luolan is the deputy marshal, and she is being brought back to life by the death of the day.

Of course, it is not absolute, at the court level of the two sides, it is now a bunch of people in the Song State who want to stop profit and withdraw Wang Yan back, and I don't know how long Han's brain shell can last.

As for Zhuo Luolan, she is also facing the change of luck in their court, if she is yin enough to dare to make a bad move against Manba, and she is not as good as Pang and Zhou, it will be troublesome, it is likely that after the Western Xia court removes the command of Manba, Zhuo Luolan will have no pig teammates, and Wang Yan will be hung up and pumped by Bianjing's group of his own ministers, which is possible.

"Time, time!"

Thinking of this, Wang Yan muttered: "We must end the Battle of Hehuang before our luck runs out." Otherwise, even if it were me, I would eventually be overturned by Zhuo Luolanri. Just talking about the simple art of war, although I can't hang her up and fight, but at least I can have the upper hand, but young master, I have been a little lucky in recent years, which will lead to the boss of variables. ”
