Chapter 202: Another Fire (2)

Previous Chapter

After Guo Qi returned to the Guanshan camp, he immediately ordered the White Tiger Army, the Qinglong Army, the Vermilion Bird Army, and the Xuanwu Army to prepare for battle; The White Tiger Army suffered heavy casualties in the last battle of the Great Earthquake Pass, but it has recovered its combat strength after replenishment; At the same time, 70,000 recruits who were trained at the Guanshan battalion had completed their basic training.

These 70,000 recruits were organized into seven temporary armies by Guo Qi in units of 10,000 people, and Guo Qi also tried to save trouble, directly from the First Army to the Seventh Army; Among them, the first, second, and third armies remained in the Guanshan camp, the fourth army was sent to Huating under the command of Tang Bi, the fifth army was sent to Zhenyi Pass under the command of Zhuo Yidao, the sixth army was sent to Dazhen Pass under the command of Hu Qiong, and the seventh army was sent to Zhenrong Pass under the command of Sun Guoqing.

In order to allow the recruits to integrate quickly, Hu Qiong, Tang Bi, Zhuo Yidao, and Sun Guoqing made the same choice, that is, to disrupt and reorganize, mix these people with the regular main force and soldiers, and strive to form combat effectiveness in the fastest time with the old and the new.

After sending 40,000 new troops, the Guanshan battalion under the command of Guo Qi still had 60,000 troops, including the Hussar Army's five guards and 30,000 elite cavalry, as well as the temporary first, second, and third armies, and 30,000 new army soldiers; Guo Qi used the 60,000 troops as the reserve force of the entire Longdi Mountain defense line, ready to enter the battlefield at any time at a critical moment.

————————

Two days after Guo Qi rushed back to the Guanshan camp, the west gate of the Qingshui camp of the Xirong army; Murong De, the commander of the Xirong Army, led all the generals on the front line to go out of the camp for five miles to welcome the arrival of Xirong reinforcements.

"The Prime Minister has worked hard from afar, and Ben Shuai has already prepared a banquet for the Prime Minister in the camp." Seeing that Tuoba Wang had arrived, Murong De greeted him very warmly and bowed his hand.

"With Marshal Lao personally out of the camp to greet him, it's really devastating." Tuoba Wang also bowed his hand and said in return.

"Where, where, the Prime Minister is serious, please ......"

"Commander, please ......"

Seeing that the two are so close, I don't know that I think they are friends who are friends in life and death!

After returning to the big tent of the Chinese army in the big camp.

Prime Minister Tuoba Wang took out a Khan edict from Xirong Khan and said: "The Great Khan's edict, the right general Murong De takes the edict." ”

"Murong De, the right general of the minister, took the order." Murong De led a group of generals to kneel down and said.

"The Great Khan's holy edict, for my Great Xirong to attack Guanzhong, ordered Murong De to lead all the soldiers and horses on the front line for the generalissimo, and Tuoba Wang to assist in the Eastern Expedition for the deputy marshal, and to admire this."

"The minister Murong De received the order, and the Great Khan Shengming." Murong De took the Khan edict and said.

"Congratulations on the generalissimo's promotion!" Tuoba Wang handed over the Khan's edict to Murong Dedao.

"Ben Shuai also wants to congratulate the Prime Minister!" Murong De took the Khan's edict and said, "Today, I also ask the Prime Minister to help break the Yongjun Army!" ”

"Everything is up to the Generalissimo." Tuoba Wang said with a smile.

"Ha, ha, ha...... Since I listen to Ben Shuai's arrangement, where to buy it, I will eat first, and we will talk when we finish eating. Murong De laughed.

After eating, Murong De and Tuoba Wang convened the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss the next battle plan of the Xirong army.

"Generals, thanks to the 100,000 reinforcements and 130,000 auxiliaries brought by the Prime Minister, plus the 130,000 troops of our army on the front line, the total strength of our army has now reached 360,000, which is several times that of the Yong army on the opposite side;

After continuous infiltration and investigation, Ben Shuai has basically figured out the deployment of the Yong army stationed in the defense line of Longdi Mountain, and the Yong army on the opposite side of us has about 100,000 troops, including 10,000 cavalry and 90,000 infantry troops; Among them, they each arranged an infantry army of 12,500 men at Huating Pass, Zhenyi Pass, Dazhen Pass and Zhenrong Pass; The remaining 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry were in the Guanshan camp behind them;

Judging from the current defense of the Yongjun army, it is not very tight, but because the Yongjun army occupies favorable terrain and has built city defense passes on the main roads, our army must first conquer these passes if it wants to enter the pass;

Previously, Ben Shuai had led his troops to storm the Great Earthquake Pass, hoping to use the Great Earthquake Pass as a breakthrough to completely tear apart the defense line of the Yongjun army, but due to the timely arrival of Guo Qiyong's reinforcements, our army failed to break through the Great Earthquake Pass;

After this battle, the commander can be regarded as figuring out the fighting style of Yongwang Guo Qi, due to the lack of strength of the Yongjun army, it is impossible to arrange enough troops on the front line, so it can only be stationed in the Guanshan camp A reserve force, once a war occurs somewhere in the Longdi Mountain defense line, he can lead this reserve force to reinforce in time, in order to make up for the lack of overall strength;

Therefore, if we still only attack one point as before, I am afraid that we will have to pay huge casualties in time to finally break through the Yongjun defense line, which is not conducive to the follow-up operations of our army. ”

"What the marshal said is very true, I don't know if the marshal has a way to crack it?" Murong Hao said very cooperatively.

"What this commander means is that our army will divide its troops to attack and attack the four passes of the Yong army." Murong De continued.

"Isn't that too much of a distributed?" Tuoba Wang said.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, listen to me!" Murong De smiled and said: "Although our army launched an attack on the four passes at the same time, there is also a primary priority;

Ben Shuai means that the main direction of attack is still on the Great Earthquake Pass, which is commanded by Ben Shuai himself, and the second main direction is placed in Zhenrong Pass, which is located on the north bank of Weishui, and is commanded by the Prime Minister; The remaining Huating Pass and Zhenyi Pass can be used as auxiliary attacks;

The reason why this commander arranged this way is that the main camp of Yongwang Guo Qi'er is in the middle of the Great Earthquake Pass and the Zhenrong Pass, and if our army can win the two passes, it can attack the Guanshan camp from both sides, so as to completely pull out the Yongjun army's operation on the front line of Longdi Mountain......"

Murong De said his thoughts, but in fact, this was not his own thoughts, it just came out of his mouth.

"Okay, that's a good idea, I agree with it." Tuoba Wang agreed: "Since the marshal has long had such a plan, I'm afraid he has already had an idea about how to send troops!" ”

"The prime minister who knows me." Murong De said with a smile: "This marshal plans to do so, because Huating Pass and Zhenyi Pass are only auxiliary attacks, the purpose is to contain the two armies of the Yong army stationed in the two passes, so the strength is not too much, and now there are more than 10,000 troops outside each of the two passes, what Ben Shuai means is that it is almost enough to send 20,000 auxiliary soldiers to each pass, and it can completely contain the enemy army;

The remaining 300,000 troops, the commander intends to leave the 220,000 troops in the Great Earthquake Pass, these 220,000 troops, composed of 90,000 troops under the command of the commander, and then 80,000 elites and 30,000 auxiliaries from the hands of the prime minister;

The remaining 80,000 troops were commanded by the Prime Minister and went south to Zhenrong Pass......"

"Marshal, there is no objection to the dispatch of troops from Huating Pass and Zhenyi Pass; But the 80,000 troops who went south to Zhenrong Pass are a little unreasonable from time to time! There are only 20,000 elite infantry troops, and all the others are auxiliaries! Tuoba Wang said very dissatisfied.

"Prime Minister, as far as Ben Shuai knows, this Zhenrong Pass has not been repaired! It is enough to have an army of 80,000. Murong De laughed.

"But the official feels that it is not enough, the 230,000 troops brought by the official this time, except for the 30,000 auxiliaries left for you, the rest of the officials will be pulled outside the Zhenrong Pass." Tuoba Wang said with a straight face.
