Chongzhen eight years, July.

Horqin region, a hidden area, the center of the Horqin Forward Command.

In the grasslands of July, the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, the annoying weather, and the maddening swarm of poisonous mosquitoes, if you don't want to protect yourself from these external factors, you can make people fall into a state of madness.

"Mao Shuai, the mosquito repellent sent by this Penglai Chamber of Commerce is really amazing!" You Shiwei smiled in his expression, although more than a month has passed, he has enjoyed this state very much, "Who is saying that businessmen only know how to make profits in the future, I, You Shiwei, are the first to refuse, if there is really no Penglai Chamber of Commerce and their help this time, just our army is in the grassland region, in this month, the non-combat attrition caused is enough for us to bear!" ”

After saying this, You Shiwei subconsciously touched the sachet hanging on his waist, and there was a faint pungent smell around him, but You Shiwei was eager to do it.

There are many factors that need to be taken into account when fighting in one place, because a small place, if the inspector is not careful, will cause great damage to the army, and even lead to the destruction of a strong army.

Small details like mosquito repellent sachets, sunscreen, mosquito nets.

After Zhao Zongwu led his troops to Liaodong, he convened the commander-in-chief's office to discuss these factors that might cause non-combat attrition.

After the plan was finally formed, the factory belonging to the Penglai Chamber of Commerce was allowed to carry out OEM processing.

Reckless during this period!

And at the first time, at all costs, but also at the fastest speed, the finished products produced should be transported to the Horqin Forward Command, so that every soldier in the corps can have it.

"You Shuai, I know you like these things very much, but you don't need to praise them every day." Mao Wenlong, who was standing in front of the war sand table, rolled his eyes slightly after hearing You Shiwei's words, and said with helplessness in his expression.

"Haha!" You Shiwei raised his head and laughed after hearing this, and then said: "I can't help it, in such a harsh environment, being able to sleep well is really a happy thing for us who fight." ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Okay, I still accept your repeated praise every day, You Shuai, come here, the current situation of our army in the Horqin region has changed again." ”

After hearing what Mao Wenlong said, You Shiwei also put away the smile on his face and walked quickly towards the war sand table.

Since Mao Wenlong was in the Horqin Frontier Headquarters, he recruited all the generals to discuss and formulate a strategy for fighting Jiannu, and more than a month has passed, and in this more than a month, the two sides have also undergone earth-shaking changes, and the entire Horqin region, because of this tragic war, has been well nourished.

As the general command of the Horqin regional war, the safety of the Horqin Forward Command is related to the evolution of the entire war situation.

Therefore, after Mao Wenlong and You Shiwei moved several times, they finally settled on this secret place that was extremely difficult to be discovered.

And in order to better defend themselves, Mao Wenlong and his team built a small city in the area, and they also paid a lot of money for this.

Mao Wenlong smiled and said: "In the rest of the month, our army has achieved remarkable results!" The previous battle record is not mentioned for the time being, in this round (one round every seven days), according to the information sent by Kong Youxing, He Renlong, Fierce as Tiger, and Hu Dawei, they annihilated more than 17,000 Jiannu troops and more than 30,000 grassland slave troops. ”

When talking about the main casualties, Mao Wenlong stretched out his hand to remove the four small red flags, and then said: "This battle brought together the originally scattered Jiannu two wings of the army, which also made the tactics formulated by our army in the previous stage have to change according to this actual situation. ”

When Mao Wenlong was telling this, the combat staff officer next to him interjected: "According to the summary of the battle situation sent by the foreign legion this time, our army has annihilated more than 78,000 Jiannu troops in the Horqin region, and more than 145,000 grassland slave troops have been killed in battle!" ”

As an army with a super high level, whether it has a group of high-quality professional soldiers is the most important embodiment.

After listening to the combat staff officer's narration, the corners of You Shiwei's mouth raised slightly: "In more than a month, more than 78,000 people of the Jiannu Army were completely annihilated, which is definitely a big victory for our army!"

And according to the statistics made earlier, our army only suffered more than 29,000 casualties in this more than a month, of which more than 24,000 were killed in battle and more than 4,000 were seriously injured and disabled! And this battle has made the high-level Jiannu who are entrenched in the Horqin region angry, and under the anger, they will do impulsive actions! ”

The operational staff officer said: "Now that the battle damage data of our army has been updated, by this time our army has suffered more than 37,000 casualties, of which more than 29,000 have been killed in battle and more than 7,000 have been seriously injured and disabled. ”

By the time he finished speaking, the atmosphere was a little somber.

After pondering for a moment, Mao Wenlong said: "Judging from the current battle situation, this battle has far exceeded the previous expectations, this battle has completely hurt the Jiannu army, if the marshal guess is correct, I am afraid that the Jiannu army will brew a big counterattack next!" Then, in order to ensure that our military can continue to maintain such a posture of strategic suppression, we must find ways to predict and formulate corresponding countermeasures. ”

Through the analysis of the intelligence collected in the early contact war, Mao Wenlong and You Shiwei came to the conclusion that after a long period of time, the overall combat effectiveness of the Jiannu army, which had been silent for eight years, was better than before, and if they were not careful, they would bring huge losses.

This also made He Renlong and their initial contact battle, although they were already very cautious, but also caused a lot of casualties.

You Shiwei nodded and said: "Mao Shuai is right, although our army has now achieved a lot of victories, but this is by no means the capital that we can be complacent, this Jiannu army is no better than the grassland tribes, they are like a pack of wolves, with cold-blooded and tyrannical bodies flowing in their bodies, our army has suffered such a big loss in this battle, according to their temperament, they will never give up!" ”

You Shiwei is right.

After years of transformation by Dai Shan, the Qing soldiers under his command have completely restored the deterrence of the military system to the time when the Jurchen army was at its strongest in combat effectiveness after capturing and absorbing a large number of savages.

"In order to prevent this from happening, I have been thinking about what Mang Gurtai and Yue Tuo will do next." Mao Wenlong agreed with You Shiwei's statement, "Although the current Jiannu has been completely mastered by Daishan, according to the current situation, if Mang Gurtai is completely crazy in this battle, then he will inevitably control the command of this Jiannu army. ”

After Mao Wenlong pointed out a few positions, he continued: "Now that our army has occupied these key places, if I am Mang Gurtai, I will inevitably gather the superior forces under my command, together with the only remaining grassland servant army under my command, aim at a region, carry out onslaught tactics on the area, and at the same time expose the signs of urgency of the war in the area, so that our army will rush to the aid of the besieged area at all costs, so as to achieve the effect of encirclement and reinforcement!" ”

From the very beginning, Mao Wenlong and You Shiwei did not mention the grassland tribe.

Because when Mao Wenlong formulated this tactical arrangement, he was destined to make the grassland tribes living in the Horqin region suffer very serious losses, and even make all the young and strong people of the grassland tribes in the region die here, according to the statistics of the Horqin Frontier Command, the loss of the grassland tribes in this battle has reached an unheard of more than 330,000 people.

(The strong men summarized by the Horqin Forward Command are between fifteen and fifty-five years old, and can carry a knife to the battlefield.) ）

If Mao Wenlong and the others can achieve the final victory in this battle, then the grassland centered on the Horqin region will be completely included in the scope of Zhao Zongwu's rule, and even Zhao Zongwu can use the power of victory in this battle to completely recover the entire Monan region!

You Shiwei said with a smile: "What Mao Shuai said is very right, but there is one point, the grassland slaves under the command of Jiannu are in the army, and I am afraid that there are not as many Jiannu army as there are." This also makes it inevitable that if they want to implement such a tactic, they will inevitably use their soldiers and horses to fight hard! ”

"You Shuai is right!" A little smile appeared at the corner of Mao Wenlong's mouth, and he stretched out his finger and pointed at You Shiwei and said: "This has achieved the strategic goal I have always wanted to achieve, according to this premise, our army can temporarily give up the key places that have been obtained, these territories are dead for our army, but the tactical arrangements must be lived, in the words of the grandfather of the country, the land is lost, and the people and the land are lost; Save people and lose land, and everyone and land will be gained! ”

"If the scattered soldiers and horses of our army accept the requisition of the forward command at this time, and consciously let the Mang Gurtai and them discover the headquarters station, relying on this extremely advantageous battlefield in front of us, then what kind of impact will it have on Jiannu?" When Mao Wenlong said this, his eyes flashed with essence.

After enduring more than a month, after a hearty battle, Mao Wenlong, who was extremely belligerent in his bones, finally showed his long-hidden fangs!

The corners of You Shiwei's mouth raised slightly: "Mao Shuai!" I knew you had been holding back a big move! Now it seems that no matter what decision you make, I, You Shiwei, will firmly follow you! ”

As the most belligerent hawks, there is nothing more practical than fighting, for Mao Wenlong and You Shiwei, it is really cool to be able to make Jiannu suffer losses on the battlefield!
