Chapter 513: Winter Offensive
When Wang Xiaoliu returned to Hanshui City with his guards, it was already dark, and the guards who had completed training were returning to the city one after another, and when they entered the camp, they greeted each other one after another.
"Boss, why does it look like the big camp is going to be opened?"
Sun Shan led the horse and asked Xiaoliu.
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, looked around, and sure enough, many tents in the camp had been dismantled, and next to the head of his own camp was the camp of the forward battalion, which was completely empty today, and there was not a single ghost in sight.
"I'll go and find out later, if it really opens, our camp head must not be pulled down, or the snow nest will be in vain in this half winter."
Saying this, the guards returned to the camp one after another, and had a meal in the camp, according to the military system, after eating, the captain visited the camp tents of his subordinates, talked a little, relieved the hearts of the sergeants under his command, and then they could move freely.
Xiao Liu said hello to Sun Shan, walked out of his own camp by himself, and walked towards the Chinese army.
At the end of the meal, the sky began to fall with snowflakes again, and after such a while, the camp area was full of snow again, and it was already creaking when walking on the road.
"Yingyuan, why is your grandson going?"
Xiaoliu met an acquaintance, Ding Weiying's captain Yingyuan, this grandson finished fighting the Taixi people in Jiameng Pass, and did not stay in Liaoxi, but followed the army to the north.
However, when it comes to fighting, this kid is also a good player, daring to fight and fighting, and is quite valued by the commander.
Ying Yuan smiled, "Wang Xiaoliu, your grandson is sneaky, do you want to do it?" ”
The two of you ridiculed me, I laughed at you, followed each other to the Chinese army, and saw the land battle with the Janissaries in front of the Chinese army's tent.
"Brother Zhan, what's the matter, the Chinese army is under martial law again?"
Xiao Liu asked in a low voice.
Lu Zhan glanced around, gave a few orders to the sergeant under his hand, walked over a few steps, and reprimanded Xiao Liu.
"It's late this day, why don't you rest at the head of the camp, why are you here to run the Chinese army?"
"Yingyuan, if you kid buy mutton and use the money cleanly, the governor won't give you a batch of silver."
Lu Zhan smiled and said that Yingyuan, and the matter of Yingyuan's purchase of sheep has completely spread in the camp.
Xiao Liu smiled: "Brother Zhan, why is there no trace of the forward battalion next to the head of our battalion, is it open?" Brother Zhan, we are brothers, this is really going to war, you have to say a few kind words in front of the commander, you can't pull our battalion down. ”
"And our battalion leader, Brother Zhan, I'm from the west, so I can't chill the hearts of our Qindi soldiers."
Lu Zhan looked back at the Chinese military tent, lowered his voice and said:
"I shouldn't have told you, but it doesn't matter now, when the commander-in-chief is finished, it should be the announcement of the military order, and you two will go back and wait for the military order to be issued."
Xiao Liu and Ying Yuan glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"The winter offensive is finally about to begin!"
"We've worked hard to climb the snow nest, and we finally have a place to use it."
The two glanced at each other, said goodbye to Lu Zhan, and hurried back to their camp. I'm going to start packing up tonight, and I'm going to start tomorrow, and I can't be left behind others.
In the tent of the Chinese army, there are many generals.
Su Lu asked Su Yun, who was in charge of the Bird Camp.
"How many large transport birds have been built?"
"Sixteen."
Su Yun replied, the Bird Camp was almost all in her head.
"Except for the first three because the builders are not proficient, the birds are slightly worse in terms of weight and long-distance travel, and the maximum load of the thirteen birds in the back has reached two tons and three, and the flight distance can reach more than a hundred miles.
Su Lu nodded, although there are still some deficiencies in transporting flying birds, but it is enough for baggage transportation.
"Okay, tomorrow will begin, the Flying Bird Battalion is the vanguard, and advance along the marks left by the Forward Battalion and the Scout Battalion."
"Attack Asuka to uproot those Thule noble territories that are not under the control of our army, this attack is dominated by old-fashioned flying birds, and the new-style flying birds advance to the depths of the grassland, occupy this place as soon as possible, the Four Princes' Banner, as a bridgehead for our army to attack Rouran."
"Sun Xiu, you lead the cavalry army first, be sure to cooperate with the Flying Bird Battalion, sweep away all the remnants of the Thule nobles who dare to resist our army in the Four Princes' Banner, remember, for those who dare to resist, use thunderbolt means to kill."
"Zhang Gan, take your ballista battalion well, there is no place for you in the territory of Tule, and when you get to Rouran, there is a place for your ballista battalion to play."
"Zheng Kai, you lead the left army, sweep away all the Thule tribes, including the Eastern Royal Court, and those who dare to resist will be killed."
After a series of commands, the generals bowed down and received the orders.
The next day, when the sky was bright, the sound of trumpets sounded in the camp.
The battalion leaders began to make food, and the camps everywhere were also lively, tidying up the barracks, tidying up their bags, and preparing all the camps to be opened.
After breakfast, Sun Xiu's cavalry went first, followed by the bird battalion led by Su Yuntong, and one after another the birds flew into the sky and headed towards the north.
The infantry led by Zheng Kaitong took the left road and swept the Eastern Palace.
Wang Xiaoliu and Yingyuan opened at the same time, and the two battalion leaders marched together and headed towards the north.
Sleds, sliders, and all kinds of snow travel tools prepared by the baggage camp were pulled out, and Yingyuan sat on a sleigh and asked Xiaoliu not far away.
"I say six, although the Thule people are savage, but this snow slider is really not bad, just get a horse and pull what several horses can pull in the past."
Xiao Liu sneered: "If you think about it with your toes, you know that Tulle can't make this thing." Is this particularly made by Tulle, this is made by our Han army, and the Tulle people don't have this thing at all. ”
Ying Yuan looked confused, what is the situation, this thing was made by the Han army, are the Tulle people stupid, such a useful thing, if you think with your toes, you must also make it.
"Stop"
The lieutenant leading the way in front issued a warning.
Win a bone, get off the sleigh, use both hands and feet, and get behind the lieutenant.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Thule who has left the army."
The lieutenant lowered his voice and pointed forward, only to see a dozen horses galloping from the snow, and the snow foam was scattered in all directions, and the horses were running fast.
Xiaoliu also came over, holding a long qiāng in his hand, and asked, "Tulle or Rouran, how many are there?" ”
"Not much, about fifteen people, but I don't know how many there will be later."
The lieutenant said cautiously.
Xiao Liu licked his lips, and his voice was hoarse: "Yingyuan, this is the first battle of our army, the first battle of the winter offensive, you can't lose the face of the commander, you must get off to a good start." ”
Ying Yuan nodded: "Brothers, spread out, ambush on both sides of the road, prepare for an ambush." ”
"Ding Lu, take your men, set up an ambush in front, and wait for the Tulle people to enter the ambush circle, and stop them for me."
Xiao Liu looked at the terrain and smiled: "You are left and I am right, whose credit is greater, then it depends on their ability." ”
"Okay"
Ying Yuan agreed, and took his sergeant to the other side.
The guards lay down in the snow nest, and the Thule soldiers who came from the Pegasus in the distance did not know that the Han army in the distance had opened their pockets and were rushing into the ambush circle.
