Chapter 44: The Secret Realm of the Phoenix (7)
A trace of golden light shines on the earth from the east, and the verdant mountains and forests are instantly covered with a layer of warm sunlight, and there is a mist drifting, like a fairyland.
Qingfeng City, which is located in a small basin, is not a big city, the square city wall spans only five miles, the city is less than three zhang high, and there are four gates in the east, west, north and south. The two main roads cross the north and south and the east and west respectively, and cross in the city. There is a stream no more than two zhang wide flowing from the northwest mountain to the southeast, and after the stream enters the city, it becomes three small rivers in the city, which are located on the left, middle and right sides of the city, and then converge and flow out at the southeast corner of the city.
Qingfeng City is located in the middle of the small basin, surrounded by green hills, there are galloping roads in four directions, it can be said that it extends in all directions, the small basin covers an area of not large, and the whole Qingfeng City occupies one-fifth of the area of the basin plain.
It can be seen that the other remaining vacant land was once fertile farmland, and scattered village ruins can still be vaguely judged.
And now, the whole Qingfeng City is lifeless, and the whole basin is depressed.
Jiang Ge, who was hiding on the top of the mountain in the south to investigate from afar, stopped his pen and rolled up the full leather he painted and put it in his arms. Stretched out his hand and touched the blind man next to him, and the blind man took out the kettle and handed it over.
Jiang Ge casually opened the water bladder and took a few sips and asked, "Lao Liu, you can see the farthest, and you can also see the general distribution of Qingfeng City clearly." The 4,000 defenders in the city are all huddled together, but there is a plan? ”
Blind Liu rubbed the only eye left and said slowly: "Qingfeng City is not big, if the troops are sufficient, it is not difficult to attack, but the subordinates can watch its guards, in an orderly manner, patrolling on the city wall, and fully equipped with fixed sentry posts." Outside the city is an unobstructed plain, and a sneak attack is impossible. This demon army doesn't need to eat, drink, and Lazar like us. If we hold on and wait for reinforcements, we don't have so many troops. A strong attack cannot be captured. It also depends on how the general makes decisions, and the blind man talks nonsense and can't count. ”
Blind Liu's thinking is basically correct, the current situation in Qingfeng City is so tricky. The lack of troops is a hard injury, the city is not big, but it is not difficult to attack the city, and the surrounding space cannot be sneak attacked, so it can only be attacked with great fanfare face to face. And the transportation in all directions can quickly get reinforcements.
Jiang Ge frowned and fell into deep thought, but soon Jiang Ge stretched his brows and ordered: "It's not that there is nothing to do, but it still needs to be deduced in detail." Let's go and find out the sentry camps in several other directions. ”
After speaking, a group of eleven people quickly recovered the traces of the place they had just stayed in and disappeared in the green mountains.
Three days later, the Shence army camped.
The sweat and morale of the soldiers training on the school field are like rain, and in the hearts of every new soldier who has come over, it is an honor and an opportunity to be able to enter the Shence Army.
After Wu Yan took over the 4,000 soldiers, he was also extremely satisfied. Because these 4,000 soldiers are different from the soldiers brought by Wu Yan and Jiang Yibai when they came. The soldiers brought by Wu Yan and the four were basically his subordinates. And this time, the 4,000 soldiers are all veterans of the outpost, not to mention veterans of a hundred battles, but it is common to fight the enemy on the front line for a long time.
Among them, there are many outstanding ones, although they have not become the standard like Wu Yan, but these outstanding people are all elite soldiers and strong generals who survived the fierce battle.
After Jiang Ge returned to the camp, he got into his tent, and after two days of drumming all night, Jiang Ge called Wu Yan to go to the camp where the equipment battalion and the engineer battalion were located.
The equipment battalion of the alliance army mainly manufactures the basic equipment required by the army, such as siege equipment, guard equipment, simple leather armor weapons, etc.
The sappers are mainly responsible for assisting the smooth passage of roads, checking for traps, and supplementing the application of strategic tactics when the army is marching. It is also the best repair force when defending the city.
The equipment battalion, the engineer battalion, and the logistics battalion, totaling 1,500 people, can fully meet the combat readiness needs of 5,000 soldiers in cooperation with each other.
In the big tent of the commander of the equipment battalion, Jiang Ge sat in the main seat, and Wu Yan stood aside. The commander of the lower equipment battalion, the commander of the engineer battalion, and the commander of the logistics battalion.
It was not the first time that everyone had established a basic communication foundation, and the commander of the third battalion was in awe of the commander Jiang Ge in addition to his hearsay admiration, and after gradually becoming familiar with it.
The commander of the equipment battalion is a burly man, with strong arms, dark skin, and a well-defined face that makes people can't help but take a few more looks.
The commander of the engineer battalion is on one side, not tall or burly, he looks like an ordinary person, and he looks a little weak, with a mustache that he will touch from time to time.
The commander of the logistics battalion was lean and capable, thin and tall, with bright eyes.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Ge said with a straight face: "There will be a big battle next, the task of the former army battalion must be completed, and now it is less than twenty days, and the preparations of our army are very urgent, and the battalion commanders have worked hard." Next, I've got a list here, and the three of them passed it around to each other and then destroyed it. I hope to be fully prepared before the army is launched. Whether the war is successful or not depends on you. ”
After Jiang Ge finished speaking, he took out a list from his arms and handed it to Wu Yan, who handed it to the commander of the equipment battalion without looking at it.
After reading the list, the commander of the equipment battalion frowned and fell into deep thought.
The commander of the engineer battalion raised his eyebrows, turning his fingers and thinking about himself.
After reading it, the commander of the logistics battalion got up and threw the list into the burning charcoal brazier not far away, and then sat down in a chair and said no more.
Jiang Ge couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he looked at the three of them, rubbed his hands and said, "Some things are a little weird, but fortunately, it's not difficult to find." Just need to take the time to process and meet my requirements. At present, I know the level of craftsmen in each battalion, and it should not be difficult. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me privately. So be it, scattered. I'll have to go see how the soldiers on the school grounds are doing. ”
After Jiang Ge finished speaking, he walked out of the big tent with his hands behind his back and walked towards the school with Wu Yan in tow.
When the three men in the tent saw that the Lord was going out of the big tent, they each looked at each other, and without saying a word, they each got up and said goodbye and went back to the camp to prepare to go.
Jiang Ge, who was standing on the stage of the school field, looked at the huge school field and his heart was surging, even in the real world, Jiang Ge did not have the opportunity to hold a force of 6,000 people, let alone governance and training, and it was even more impossible to lead the army to attack the city.
And in this world, such a speed of promotion and such a rapid increase in the army also made Jiang Ge's pressure double, and the key was that the tasks of the former army battalion were more difficult than one another.
Fortunately, the additional reinforcements are of high quality, and the average is extremely stable. Unlike in the real world, there is always a patchwork in the troops. It is rare to have 100 elites among the 10,000 armies. And in this world, it seems that these soldiers in front of them are all veterans of a hundred battles. Whether it is an individual's physique, force or morale, it is very stable and balanced.
With the excellent comprehensive quality of basic soldiers, Jiang Ge can try to implement the plan in his heart. Otherwise, no matter how exquisite the strategy is, it will not be possible to achieve it without strong and excellent troops.
The climate in the southern part of Yanzhou is hot and humid, and even now in autumn, the temperature is still not low, but the moisture content in the air is slightly reduced.
But this is already satisfactory to Jiang Ge for the implementation of the plan, and it is no more worrying about the impact of the humid climate in spring and summer on the plan.
On the school field, the shirtless soldiers were full of fighting spirit, and the training was extremely hard, Jiang Ge looked around, all of them were dark-skinned, strong bodies, and the battle array drills were tacitly coordinated, and the confrontation was fierce.
Jiang Ge nodded and said to Wu Yan beside him with satisfaction: "Meat must be abundant, the soldiers in front of us in the next big battle are the key to the real victory, and in ten days, we will have to pull out." ”
Wu Yan hugged his fists to lead the order, and now Wu Yan, who is like a general manager, is very grateful from the bottom of his heart for the trust of the young general. Although he also understood that the next big war would be more difficult, the young man in front of him who was not gloomy seemed to give him enough confidence and expectation.
Jiang Ge returned to the big tent, took out the already detailed battle map and carefully examined it, holding a charcoal pen in his hand to occasionally sketch and draw. My heart is getting clearer and clearer, and my confidence is getting stronger. Even if there are only 4,500 real and usable soldiers, in the case of a serious shortage of troops, against an enemy who is more than three times his own, even if there is a huge disparity in strength and suffering, there is still a thirty percent hope of victory.
Even if there is only a 30% chance of winning, Jiang Ge is still willing to continue to take risks and give it a try. Gambling in general, winning, will be another miracle. If you fail, you may wake up from a dream. Although he is used to the world in the dream world, he has been separated from the real world for too long, and for Jiang Ge, he is unwilling to do so.
The real world is fragmented, the family is in turmoil in the whole world, and only my father is struggling to support him, and every time I think about it, my heart is sour. Staying in a dream for too long.
Since there is no way to get out of the dream, I can only choose to try the dangerous and dangerous methods, even if there are some people who can't live with the world and follow them, those who are alive. Fortunately, it's just a dream, and although it's true, it's still just a dream. Jiang Ge confirmed this incomparably. Therefore, if there is only a chance of one percent, he will do it without hesitation.
Jiang Ge, who was staring at the map in a daze, recalled carefully. The first two battles gave me a great opportunity to learn and practice. Arrange troops, practice strategies, go into battle in person, step by step from zero foundation, to now use it freely, not jerky.
In the real world, Jiang Ge has certainly obtained some incredible adventures, and he has also participated in the siege and defense of millions of people, and has seen the real cruelty of war, and then he can't escape all the way, and he only picked up a life in the midst of many dangers. Later, when he rescued his father, he defeated the enemy in a battle with the advantage of enough elite troops. All experiences are not as complicated as those experienced in dreams.
In the case of the disparity in troops, and in the case of the arduous task and the fact that it is basically difficult to complete, Jiang Ge racked his brains to plan step-by-step actions. In the end, he personally implemented it, and this kind of experience of rolling out on the battlefield quickly cultivated Jiang Ge to strengthen his strategy, battle formation, overall situation control, personal force and other aspects, and his growth rate was amazing.
Therefore, in the next battle, Jiang Ge was extremely careful and cautious. Even if it is confirmed that it is a dream, you still have to take the lead and be immersive, and dare not have the slightest slackness. Take the resources from your dreams and learn about real warfare. This kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must be grasped well.
Jiang Ge came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at the entire map of Yanzhou, whether it was true or not, he should do his best.
