Crossing the Jianding Mountain, and then to the northwest is a Gobi steppe covering an area of four or five hundred miles, where there is a small river that flows from east to west, called the Wenfeng River, the source is more than 300 miles away on the Qilian Mountain, and the end enters the Yellow River.

The Wenfeng River is about 200 miles away from the border of Jincheng County, Yongzhou, Great Sui, and the logistics camp of the Western Turks is located on the south bank of the Wenfeng River, covering an area of 1,000 acres.

"Lord Duwei, I have sent three groups of scouts to find out that there are 20,000 people and 8,000 Turkic cavalry living in the Turkic logistics camp. There were no less than 4 million cattle and sheep in the camp, and there was countless hay, which was enough for the 200,000 Turkic army for three months, according to the daily diet of the Turkic army. ”

Fifty miles away from the Western Turkic logistics camp, there was a camp tent hidden in a forest, and in the largest of them, Zhou Hu, the head of the scout team under Wang Junlin, was bowing down to report the military situation to Wang Junlin.

Wang Junlin laid a map on the desk in front of him, and while listening to Zhou Hu's report on the military situation, he began to write and draw on it, which was the method of the army's combat map in later generations. After finishing the painting, he nodded, and Wang Junlin asked again: "Can the Turkic people's routes for transporting grain and grass, troops, time, and laws be clarified?" ”

Zhou Hu was awe-inspiring in his heart, Wang Junlin's requirements for the details of the scout's investigation information were even higher than those of the Dadu Governor Yujuluo, which made Zhou Hu a little miserable, but he had to go all out to complete it, and hurriedly said at this time: "Lord Hui, the Turks transported grain and grass in four groups, each group was escorted by five hundred cavalry, and every two hours they would drive tens of thousands of cattle and sheep and grain and grass from a hundred cities to the enemy camp in Jincheng County. According to the reconnaissance of our scout team, each flock of grain, grass, cattle and sheep was about fifty miles apart. ”

Wang Junlin marked or indicated on the map the military information mentioned by Zhou Hu one by one, and this map was drawn by himself after synthesizing the military map issued by the Sui army, the memories of later generations, and the information he saw in the past few days, as well as the information that the scouts investigated. It's much more detailed than the map distributed in the army.

After pondering for a while, Wang Junlin said, "Send an order to let the four captains and all the hundred commanders come to the military meeting." ”

The pro-soldiers at the door shouted loudly, and then several people went separately to give orders.

It didn't take long for more than 100 officers to gather.

Wang Junlin led 5,000 cavalry all the way to find the location of the Western Turkic logistics camp as early as yesterday, but Wang Junlin did not immediately attack. The so-called plan and then move, go deep behind enemy lines, and if he is not careful, he may be besieged by the enemy's army until the whole army is annihilated, and he will definitely not rush to action without formulating a plan that is as completely detailed as possible.

So on this day, he asked the scout team to go all out to find out the opponent's troops, grain and grass transportation routes and other information, and in response to this information, he also formulated a battle plan.

In the big tent, Wang Junlin asked Wu San and Wu Si to hold the map, pointed to the map with a stick, and began to tell his battle plan.

"Everyone, please see, this river is the Wenfeng River!"

Wang Junlin pointed to a river that runs through the northwest and southeast directions on the map with a wooden pole, and then pointed to a long circle on the south side of the river, and said: "This is our goal this time, the Western Turkic logistics camp, eight miles long from east to west, more than 2,000 tents, and 10,000 cavalry. It was divided into three places, with 3,000 men at each end of the east and west, and 4,000 people from the north in the middle. Only the side of the river was not defended by cavalry, and this time the scouts were able to find out the situation of the large camp in detail, that is, they swam through the water and hid in the reeds to reconnoitre. ”

It was the first time for the officers to hold a combat meeting in this mode, and as they listened to Wang Junlin's explanation and look at the map, they suddenly grasped the enemy's situation very clearly and clearly in their minds, and they opened their eyes wide one by one, pricked up their ears, and listened more carefully.

Wang Junlin then said: "Although our 5,000 people are all elites, the enemy's defense is also very tight, and the strength of our troops is as many as our two divisions. Therefore, it is not advisable to storm the camp, so what are your best plans? ”

Everyone looked at each other and didn't say a word for a long time, they were used to acting according to orders in terms of big strategy and tactics, when did they use this brain. If you tell them when they are going to go, where they are going, and who they will fight, they will see the situation and know how to fight when they get to the ground, but before the big tactical plan is formulated, even if they have something in their hearts, they don't know what to say, if nothing else, these people have never read a book, they are purely illiterate, and they are really rough people.

Wang Junlin was a little disappointed in his heart, unlike the generals of this era who like to have the final say, Wang Junlin prefers the staff system of the army in later generations, so that he can brainstorm and fill in the gaps. The so-called three stinkers are on top of one Zhuge Liang, which is the truth. But apparently there are not many such stinkers, and it is not easy to find.

No one spoke, so Wang Junlin had no choice but to continue: "I decided to retreat and attack their team transporting grain and grass first, cut off the grain route of the Turkic soldiers and horses, and then force the Turkic logistics battalion to send more people to escort the grain and grass, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the Turkic logistics battalion. ”

After a pause, Wang Junlin said again: "However, we can't attack the troops of the escort grain and grass team too much, on the one hand, lest the enemy general worry that we will attack the logistics camp and dare not send more troops; On the other hand, it can also paralyze the enemy's generals and misjudge our strength. ”

"Okay, let's talk about the troop, route, and time rules of the escort grain and grass team that the scout team has found on the map. After that, if you don't have any opinions, I'll deploy the mission. Wang Junlin put down the wooden pole and said.

Zhou Hu hurriedly stood up, held the wooden pole a little nervously, coughed lightly at the map, and said: "This long line drawn by Lord Du Wei is the enemy's grain road, the enemy every two hours, every fifty miles or so, there will be a team transporting grain and grass, escorted by five hundred cavalry, most of the areas along the way are open, not conducive to ambushes, as long as there are valleys and canyons here, here, and here, and the dense forest is conducive to our army to hide and ambush, and launch a surprise attack." ”

After saying what Wang Junlin had specially explained in one breath, Zhou Hu let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he had just scolded Fang Xuan, and he also felt a little like a general, and couldn't help but become more confident.

Wang Junlin took the wooden pole, Zhou Hu returned to his position, and Wang Junlin said, "You have something else to say. ”

Everyone looked at each other a few times and said in unison, "No." ”

Although there are still four captains in this who are the same as Wang Junlin's official position, but Wang Junlin's single-handedness to take Longxi City has already spread throughout the army, and no one dares to disagree with such a shocking achievement, not to mention that everyone knows that as long as Wang Junlin does not die, the lieutenant is only temporary, and after His Majesty's reward arrives, at least he is also a Guoyi lieutenant. Therefore, these four captains did not dare to hold a shelf in front of Wang Junlin.

Wang Junlin's expression was solemn, and he shouted: "Du Duwei." ”

Du Duwei was excited, stood up, and said, "The last general." ”

Wang Junlin said: "You lead the headquarters of a thousand men and horses to attack the grain road, can you be competent?" ”

Du Duwei immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, the last general will definitely be able to complete the task." ”

Wang Junlin said: "Lord Du must remember that every time you shoot, you must kill as much as possible, prepare the fire, and burn them all, how many cattle and sheep can be killed, and how many you can kill, and those who are too late to kill must be dispersed." In the case of equal or less than the opponent's troops, Du Duwei can consider using wolf pack tactics in view of the characteristics of the enemy cavalry who dare not stay away from cattle, sheep, grain and grass. Of course, if I had the opportunity to shoot at night, I think it would have been better. ”

When Du Duwei heard this, his eyes lit up, he was also a person who had fought for more than ten years, and it was not the first time he had fought with the Turks. ”

Wang Junlin said: "Take the eagle slaves, and after sneaking up on the three Turkic grain and grass teams, they will be released back to report the news." ”

Du Duwei respectfully saluted, then took his leave with his fists clenched, and left in a hurry, and not long after, he led a thousand men and horses away.

"Zhou Hu, in the next few days, you have to keep an eye on the enemy's logistics camp with all your might, and report to me as soon as there is a situation. The others recuperated in the camp and were ready to go into battle at any time. Wang Junlin finally said.

The officers saluted respectfully, and then went out of their tents. The so-called "know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." After Wang Junlin's thorough analysis of the enemy's situation, the officers' confidence was invisibly increased a lot, and the increase in confidence often means an increase in morale.

……

Although it is said to recuperate, after all, it will take at least three days to sneak attack the Turkic logistics camp, so in a temporary open space in the dense forest, many officers and soldiers will practice the art of mounted archery and martial arts during the day.

Wang Junlin was particularly curious about the martial arts of this era, especially after seeing King Bodo fighting with that strange Taoist priest in the Taishou Mansion of Longxi City a few days ago, he always wanted to figure out the secret.

However, after watching these soldiers and officers practice martial arts, he was greatly disappointed, most of these people were not as good as Zhou Hu, and the most powerful ones were far from his opponents. He smiled bitterly, how could there be any real masters among these ordinary soldiers, he thought too much.

"Wu San, Wu Si, I've always been curious about your martial arts, why don't you two have a fight with me." In the end, Wang Junlin hit the idea on Wu San and Wu Si.

Wu San and Wu Si glanced at each other, and the former said: "Then the lowly accompaniment will practice with the adult." ”

Wang Junlin was afraid that Wu San would not be able to let go, and said emphatically: "Wu San, I know I can't beat you, but don't keep my hands, let me see what a real master looks like." ”

The three of them came to the woods on the other side, Wang Junlin slowly pulled out the knife from the sheath, the cold light was shining, and the sharpness was abnormal, this was the horizontal knife issued to the captain in the Great Sui Army, weighing fourteen catties, Wang Junlin felt that it was very easy to use.
