"Marshal, the last general thinks that he should divide his troops and go up the mountain!"

Qi Yi, the officer of the White Tiger Battalion Management Team, hugged his fists at Qi Wen and said loudly: "There is more than one way up the mountain in this mountain, we should divide the troops, so that the bandits in the mountain can not take care of each other." ”

Qi Cheng, the commander of the Xuanwu battalion, shook his head and said: "Our army does not have an absolute advantage in strength compared to the bandits in the mountains, and it is taboo to divide troops. It's better to take the cottage head-on, handsome, I am willing to lead 300 people as the pioneer! ”

Qi Wen pressed down with both hands, signaling the two of them to be calm.

"Come and have a look."

Qi Wen motioned for the generals in the camp to gather around, and although everyone was puzzled, they all obeyed the order.

"This is a sand table made by Master Ning and asked the craftsmen, which completely reproduces the topography around Bishan, but it is miniaturized."

Qi Wen paused deliberately, so that everyone had time to digest.

"Dashuai, this thing is a novelty, much more intuitive than the map."

Qi Wen nodded and said, "Yes, the map can only see the approximate location, but it doesn't help much with the terrain." And this sand table... All it takes is one glance to get an idea of the topography. ”

In fact, there is another point he didn't say, that is, to make a sand table, you need to send people to the local area to repeatedly survey in advance, and only in this way will the sand table be accurate.

But these Qi Wen felt that there was no need to explain to everyone for the time being. They just need to be able to read the sandbox.

"Ben Shuai is here now."

Qi Wen picked up a small flag and planted it in a clearing at the foot of Bishan Mountain.

"And the lair of the mountain bandits is here."

He picked up another small flag and planted it on the top of the mountain.

"We want to completely eradicate these bandits, and there is no doubt that we must take the cottages. Now it's a matter of route selection. There is some truth in what the two of them said, but Ben Shuai thinks that it is better to divide the troops. ”

"Handsome and wise!"

Qi Yi, the officer of the White Tiger Battalion Management Team, hugged his fists at Qi Wen, and then turned his head and said to Qi Cheng, the officer of the Xuanwu Battalion Management Team, proudly: "Did you say it?" ”

"Although it is a division of troops, it is also emphasized."

Qi Wen had no intention of paying attention to the entanglement between the two, and picked up a small flag and planted it at a small pass on the mountain road in Qianshan.

"This place is ghostly, and the narrowest place can only accommodate one person to pass sideways, hence the name. No amount of troops invested here is useless, so the commander decided to send only a hundred men here to contain it, and there is no need to force the attack, and if necessary, he can retreat. ”

After that, he raised a flag and planted it in a pass not far from the ghost: "In the same way, this bluestone mouth also sent a hundred people to feint. ”

"Finally, here."

Qi Wen planted a flag in the harrier's turnover, cleared his throat and said, "Also send a hundred people to feint." ”

Qi Wen rubbed his palms and concluded: "So the three mountain paths on the front mountain have all sent people to attack, but they are all feints. The purpose is to attract the attention of the bandits in the mountains and make them think that we will attack from the front mountain. ”

"Da Shuai means that we are attacking from the back mountain?"

Qi Yi's eyes lit up.

"Not bad!"

Qi Wen clenched his fists, walked to the other side of the sand table and said: "Everyone, let's see, the mountain behind this mountain is extremely gentle compared to the front mountain, which is conducive to our army to expand the array. The only problem is that there is a Juma River in the Wild Wolf Valley, and the river is relatively fast, so you have to find a way to cross the river. ”

The reason why Qi Wen wanted to attack head-on from the back mountain was because Ning Xiu repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to give full play to the advantages of the new army's array operations before they set off. This is also something that this new army has been repeatedly trained when they are training on Wuzhushan Island.

In terms of individual bravery, these soldiers may not be able to compare to the mountain bandits. But if you really have to set up a good formation, then the rabble of bandits will definitely not be the opponent of the new army.

Lord Ning repeatedly emphasized that he should promote his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and Qi Wen naturally couldn't ignore them.

"How wide is the Juma River?"

"According to the sentinels, the widest point is about a hundred paces."

"It's so wide, I'm afraid I can't get through without a boat."

"We don't have to cross the river from the widest place, the narrow place is only a few dozen steps, right? Just ride over. ”

"How can it be done, there are many cavalry in your battalion, and you don't have a backache when you stand and talk. Our battalion is all infantry, crossing the river on two legs? ”

Qi Wen allowed his generals to argue, which was also what Lord Ning repeatedly emphasized, the commander of the first army should listen to the opinions of his subordinates, and it is best to fully consider the opinions of all parties before the war.

Of course, in the end, it is up to the commander-in-chief to decide. On this point, Ning Xiu and Qi Wen reached a consensus.

"You come here."

Qi Wen nodded a little in the eastern section of the Juma River and said: "This place is called Heiniwan, and the width of the river is only thirty paces, even infantry can wade through. However, there are bound to be bandits here to focus on defense, and if we want to rush over, the loss will not be small. ”

Qi Wen glanced at everyone, and seeing that no one spoke, he continued: "Therefore, we need to divert the bandits in the eastern section of the Juma River. ”

"What does the marshal mean to feint in the western section?"

Qi Yi's eyes lit up.

"Yes, the western part of the river is wider, and if there are no boats, you can only cross the river by cavalry or pontoon bridges. At present, even if it is too late to cut down trees to build ships and build pontoon bridges, then it can only rely on cavalry. Qi Yi, this task will be handed over to you! The bandits must not be allowed to see the flaws! ”

"Subordinates obey!"

"While the White Tiger Battalion is feinting on the western section of the Juma River, the other three battalions of infantry will cross the river from Heiniwan, and as long as a hundred people can gain a foothold on the north bank of the river, the situation can be controlled and all the brothers can cross."

This is also a judgment made by Qi Wen based on various news.

There are more than 900 bandits in Pishan, so the deployment of the front mountain, plus the manpower of the main village, will be at least about 600 people. The bandits deployed in the Wild Wolf Valley are at most three hundred.

Then the bandits who can fight in the entire Juma River section are one or two hundred, which is evenly distributed to the entire river section, and it would be good to have dozens of people in the Heiniwan section.

Therefore, as long as the new army crosses 100 men, it will be able to form a local advantage of fighting more and fighting less. Rao is bandits in the rest of the river and the Wild Wolf Valley reacted and sent troops to reinforce it, which would also take time.

By the time they arrived, all the infantry battalions of the Forces nouvelles had already crossed the Juma River.

"Great plan! The bandits of this division of troops could not find the north. ”

After listening to Qi Wen's entire plan, Qi Yi was very excited.

"As long as we control the Wild Wolf Valley, we can easily climb from the back mountain and go straight to the bandit cottage."

Qi Wen also felt a little emotional when he said this.

This was the first time he had led a soldier alone, and he was still leading a new army that had just been trained.

To be honest, he didn't know what this battle would be like before he set out, but now he is full of confidence.

He must live up to Lord Ning's expectations and exterminate this mountain bandit!
