Chen Ziqian came out of the handsome tent, wiped his sweat with palpitations, and did not forget to thank a few county orders who helped speak one by one.

Everyone has been under Zeng Yuanqi's rule for a long time, and they know that Zeng Yuanqi is a person, and they all sympathize with Chen Ziqian's experience, but there is no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, who makes the family too guarded, but they are just a small local county order.

After a few simple exchanges and conversations, everyone dispersed, Chen Ziqian was not idle, and when he returned to the camp, he asked Lin Xiaodao to take people to the arsenal to replenish the baggage equipment.

Zeng Yuanqi spoke, and this equipment supplement is also beautiful.

Of course, as a local miscellaneous soldier, even if it is licensed, the additional weapons and equipment are inferior.

A is leather armor, the knife is the inferior ring head knife eliminated by the main force of Yong'an's descendants, and the shield is also the most inferior round wooden shield, which can barely be used.

Lin Xiaodao's commanding attributes are not bad, two thousand foot soldiers under him, respectively, composed of a thousand crossbowmen and a thousand sword and shield soldiers, which can be regarded as a proper attack and defense, and can be attacked from a distance or in close combat.

Soon after the equipment was replenished, the military order issued by Zeng Yuanqi also spread to the battalions.

Chen Ziqian, like other county orders, is currently under the command of Han Sheng, the former army commander, and all the soldiers and horses add up to 30,000.

Han Sheng himself led 10,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, and the other 20,000 were county soldiers composed of ten counties.

Originally, the army went out to fight, and the soldiers and horses of each department should be combined together, and the generals at all levels should be unified and dispatched, but this time the battle was in a hurry, except for the soldiers and horses of the main general Han Sheng's headquarters, the other departments could only send partial generals to supervise the army first.

The partial general who came to Chen Ziqian's side to oversee the army was named Chu Qishang, with average attributes and arrogant personality, and he didn't take these miscellaneous soldiers from the countryside in his eyes at all, and even Chen Ziqian looked down on him.

Chen Ziqian didn't take it seriously, smiled bitterly and politely, and inspected the whole camp with the general, and sent the other party away without finding anything abnormal.

After a night of peaceful repairs in this military village, after breakfast the next day, the 30,000 troops escorted the grain and grass to take a step forward and went straight to Hupan Mountain.

Speaking of which, this is Chen Ziqian's first time with the army, which feels a little excited, after all, now that he has been pushed to the front line, he has to lead the team to charge if he is not in trouble, so naturally he does not dare to slack off.

On the march, Chen Ziqian had nothing to do, and picked up the map to look at it carefully.

Compared with the map he drew before, the map provided by Zeng Yuanqi's subordinates is more detailed, and it corresponds to the actual road conditions more accurately.

"Take a look at the knife too?" After Chen Ziqian looked at the map, he directly handed it to Lin Xiaodao, who was following closely by his side.

This battle will be encamped in Hupan Mountain, and it is possible to divide the troops into three routes to capture the three gateway counties of Pingyong County.

The geographical location of these three county towns corresponds to the three directions of Pingyong, southeast and west respectively, leaving only the northern position, which is quite a bit of a siege.

And this one is also quite exquisite, a bit of a sense of driving the soldiers and civilians of Pingyong County to Lelin County.

These two counties are not far apart, and in Zeng Yuanqi's comprehensive attack strategy, first attack Pingyong, and drive the displaced troops to Lelin, if Le Lin receives those displaced people, the county will inevitably be in turmoil, and then Zeng Yuanqi's side will be able to seize some advantages in the past crusade.

If Le Lin is unwilling to accept it, Zeng Yuanqi can collect the displaced people along the way and use them for his use, no matter how it is calculated, it will not be a loss.

Of course, when the army is coming, it is impossible for Pingyong Taishou to be defenseless, and it is difficult to say whether these three county towns can be successfully taken, but it depends on how the main general and military division use the troops.

"Little knife thinks, how should the troops be arranged in this battle?" Chen Ziqian is also idle, so he simply deduces it.

Lin Xiaodao looked at the map, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, Zeng Taishou is menacing, and Pingyong Taishou can't be defenseless, I guess the current Peilai, Ningyun, and Changchuan counties should already be heavily guarded, and they must be explored before they can use troops." ”

"It's okay, anyway, it's not like we're here to attack the city, let's talk casually." Chen Ziqian said disapprerovitously: "Yong'an County is the largest county in Tongzhou, with a population of nearly one million, and the total strength is about 100,000, this time the front army is 30,000, the Chinese army is 40,000, and the rear army is also 30,000 untouched. ”

Chen Ziqian made a simple analysis through some performances.

This is not difficult to guess, after all, the population of Pingyong County is only about six or seven hundred thousand, and compared with Yongan County with a population of one million, it is not difficult to pull up a team of sixty or seventy thousand people.

"Even if there are 70,000 horses in Pingyong, I am afraid that there will not be too many troops who really dare to mobilize, after all, we have to guard against Lelin's side to send troops to fight."

Lin Xiaodao thought for a while and said: "In fact, Pingyong occupies a geographical advantage, but the preparation is quite sufficient, there are city passes inside, and there are slopes and canyons outside to meet the enemy, and the chances of winning are quite big, but this road is so smooth, I guess that Pingyong Taishou should not want to fight this battle, so he did not set up ambushes and obstacles on the road." ”

"Yes, once this battle starts, Pingyong will do all kinds of harm and no benefit, even if he can block Yong'an's soldiers, he will inevitably lose his troops, at this time, if Lelin also comes to intervene, Pingyong will definitely lose." Chen Ziqian nodded and said: "I guess Ping Yong Taishou should be all parties now, not only report to the assassin to mediate this matter, but also conclude an alliance with Lelin, and at the same time appease Zeng Yuanqi in writing to resolve this war as much as possible." ”

"It's a pity that the trust is not human, Zeng Yuanqi is ambitious, and the history of Tongzhou is on an expedition, and Lelin can also sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for the benefit of the fisherman." Lin Xiaodao shook his head with a wry smile, and his analysis was thorough.

Chen Ziqian also said with a smile: "This is the end of not having the concept of the overall situation, being in such an embarrassing situation, it has long been regarded as a turtle in an urn and a Chinese meal, but it also pins its hopes on others, making a big dream of reconciliation, missing such an opportunity, and Pingyong is not far from destruction." ”

"But my lord, how can we be in the position of the front army, do we really want to attack the city for Zeng Yuan?" Lin Xiaodao leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Chen Ziqian saw the opportunity, and said with a confident smile: "Don't worry, Zeng Yuanqi is tyrannical and ambitious, this battle, the first battle must be won to boost morale, he will not send us miscellaneous soldiers from the county to be the vanguard, as for the decisive battle with Pingyong after taking the three counties, then you can stay out of the matter with a little trick." ”

"Makes sense." Lin Xiaodao came to the spirit, Zeng Yuanqi took Pingyong is just the beginning, if he loses the first battle, it will be extremely unfavorable to the subsequent war.

After all, a siege is a hard work, and a strong attack will definitely consume a lot of men and horses.

And the miscellaneous soldiers of each county are gathered in one place, how to say that it is also 20,000 troops, although the combat effectiveness is not strong, but the number of troops is there, this alone is enough to boost a wave of morale, there is no need to come up and consume the weak brigade first.

It's just that in the final decisive battle with Hiraiyong, it shouldn't be so easy to stay out of it, right?

"The knife is ignorant, I can't think of how to stay out of the matter, and I ask the lord for advice!" Lin Xiaodao humbly asked for advice.

Since following Chen Ziqian, he feels that he has made a lot of breakthroughs in all aspects of his ability, especially in terms of strategy, many times he can't keep up even if he wants to break his head, which he absolutely admires Chen Ziqian.

When two armies fight, sometimes a single plan can be worth thousands of troops, and this is not a casual talk.

"What's so hard about that?" Chen Ziqian wrote lightly: "Taking Pingyong is just the beginning, and then we will march into Lelin, as the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and then ask Zeng Yuanqi for orders in advance, and my department will be responsible for transporting grain." ”

"This method is good, but what if Zeng Yuanqi disagrees? After all, after taking Pingyong, there is no need to rush to attack Lelin. Lin Xiaodao shook his head, feeling that this plan was almost hot.

"He's not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry." Chen Ziqian said disapprovingly: "If he really wants to gain a firm foothold in Pingyong, we will lose a huge advantage if we want to send troops to attack Yong'an, and we must urge him to attack Lelin." ”

"This ...... What the hell is it? Lin Xiaodao's eyes widened, he had been with Chen Ziqian for a long time, and he had even learned the mantra of 'special'.

Chen Ziqian rolled his eyes and said: "What's wrong with this, only by anticipating the enemy can we take the lead step by step, if we want to achieve great things, we must create conditions if there are no conditions." ”

That's true, but ...... But how to create the conditions? ”

"As the saying goes, one drum and then three declines and exhaustion, Zeng Yuanqi captured Pingyong's morale, while Le Lin has not yet spread out the battle to meet the enemy, it is the best strategy to immediately send troops to pounce, if Zeng Yuanqi has no brains, his brains will not have no brains, right?"
