Chapter 527: Mountain Warfare
Fu Lin's subordinates are also relatively easy-going, and as soon as Fu Lin's brigade comes, these people dare not be disobedient, so Fu Lin easily learned about a secret road
Fu Lin knew that as long as he passed this road, he would be able to directly reach the northern mountainous area of Liucheng, the royal city of the Xiaoyue clan.
Because, the royal city of the Xiaoyue clan is relatively northern, because of the terrain here, it is not easy for the enemy to surround it, but it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, Orion takes this path not to say easy, but it is not too difficult, because their outfits are relatively light.
However, Fu Lin is an army of 30,000, there are cavalry among the soldiers and horses, there are horses if there are cavalry, and there are baggage for the army, and there are many carts in the baggage camp, these things, how do you get over, isn't it difficult for Fu Lin to be difficult for Orion?
As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, not to mention that the Xiaoyue clan is not a tiger's den, and in the end, as soon as Fu Lin gritted his teeth, he left the White Horse Battalion and the baggage battalion behind, and let them be stationed on the spot and wait for orders.
After that, Fu Lin gave an order, and more than 20,000 people each only brought ten days' rations, and these soldiers and horses were lightly armed into the mountains.
This time Fu Lin and they will suffer, Fu Lin's soldiers and horses under the leadership of Orion, are walking the trail to climb the high mountain, difficult to move forward, thanks to Fu Lin's soldiers and horses are elite, otherwise there will be no rebellion, there will be a situation where the government decree is not passed.
Fu Lin led the army, led by Orion into the reckless mountains, Fu Lin looked at the rolling mountains and this undestroyed primeval forest, Fu Lin remembered that in the later generations, the southern part of China bordered a certain country, that time Fu Lin led the team, in order to hunt down a traitorous criminal, and risked death into the mountains and forests, that was really nine deaths.
This time is similar, but the difference between the two is that this time Fu Lin entered with more than 20,000 troops. The extent of this difficulty can be imagined.
20,000 soldiers and horses marched in a column, and the team stretched for more than ten miles, and Fu Lin had to assign his generals to various places in the soldiers and horses.
Zhao Yu and Xiahou Lan opened the way with Orion in front, Hua Xiong and Ma Dai were behind the back hall, and even Shi Yong, Qin Feng and several other generals also let Fu Lin send them to the middle of the team and let them all take care of the soldiers and horses.
Now Fu Lin is only surrounded by Dian Wei, Jiang Wei and the strategist Guo Jia, speaking of which, we must explain that this time Fu Lin sent troops, although the Xiaoyue clan is not a strong country, and the soldiers are not strong and the horses are not strong.
However, Fu Lin still attaches great importance to it, so Fu Lin sent Jia Xu to Xiqiang and left Guo Jia by his side, as for Xi Zhicai, Chang'an is still inseparable from him, so he did not send a strategist to Zhao Yun, which is also Fu Lin's trust in Zhao Yun.
Fu Lin and they have overcome difficulties all the way, although there are Orions leading the team, but this kind of sheep intestine trail, how can it be suitable for the march of the army.
Therefore, Fu Lin's soldiers and horses, that sin is certain, they only eat the dry food on their bodies and drink the water they bring, and although there are more prey in the mountains, due to the problem of not being able to make fire, the soldiers and horses of the brigade can't eat decent food.
We said it was easy, but Fu Lin and they were moving forward step by step, and they didn't know how far they had gone that day, Fu Lin had no electronic map, no satellite positioning, and no unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
What's the matter, Fu Lin's order is also relatively slow to convey, often Fu Lin gives an order to stop the army later, but by the time the army has all stopped advancing, it is already half an hour later.
"Lord, it's too hard to let the brothers rest for a while." Just when Fu Lin and the others were struggling to move forward, Dian Wei came over and said.
"Alright! Give the order! Fu Lin said.
"No!" After Dian Wei responded, he turned around and shouted: "The lord has an order, the whole army rests in place!" ”
"The lord has an order, the whole army rests in place!" "The lord has an order, the whole army rests in place!" Dian Wei was greatly moved, and Fu Lin's orders were passed down one by one, which was really enduring.
"Hey! Fengxiao, we don't have a map of this mountain in the shadows! After Fu Lin sat down, he said to Guo Jia beside him.
"The Lord forgives the sin, because our men tried several times, but they could not enter the mountain, and even if a few warriors entered the mountain, they did not go out again. So ......," Guo Jia also shook his head and said.
Fu Lin's army marched all the way, and could only walk thirty or forty miles a day, no more than fifty or sixty miles at most, which was simply like a snail, according to Orion, they did not cross the mountains, and these Orions were at most hunting in the mountains, that is to say, after a few days, even Orion was not familiar with the road.
Tart tart tart!
Just when Fu Lin and Guo Jia were studying the current strategic deployment according to the current situation, Fu Lin heard a rush of footsteps from the former military office.
Fu Lin looked up and saw Zhao Yu hurriedly running from the direction of the front army, Fu Lin looked at Zhao Yu's expression, and his heart was groaning.
"Qiankun, what's wrong?" Fu Lin hurriedly stood up and asked.
"Lord, the last general is incompetent, the former army let people sneak attack, several brothers died, and General Xiahou was also seriously injured." I saw Zhao Yu come to Fu Lin's approach, knelt down and said.
"Qiankun, don't worry, you are also a general, speak slowly." Fu Lin looked at Zhao Yu with a flustered expression, this was something that Zhao Yu had never done, so Fu Lin first comforted him and then said.
"No, the lord is like this, our front army opened the way in front, and then Orion said that they had not been to Orion before, so the last general could only open the road in person, I was very careful all the way, but ......" Zhao Yu saw that the lord was very calm, and he said slowly.
It turned out that the thing was like this, Zhao Yu and his three thousand former troops opened the way in front, among them there were Zhao Yu, Xiahou Lan and that Orion, the thing was like what Zhao Yu said, they opened the road in front, due to the terrain, they could only advance in a long snake formation.
In this way, Zhao Yu's soldiers and horses lacked the cover of the left and right wings, and his team was in the process of advancing, when someone suddenly shouted, saying that there were people in the woods, Zhao Yu looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and sure enough, he saw the branches shaking.
So, Zhao Yu ordered to go over and take a look, but before Zhao Yu and his men and horses could pass, a rain of arrows shot out of the woods, these arrows not only fell vigorously, the people who shot the arrows were very brave, and there was poison on the arrows.
In the end, Zhao Yu had to make a move in person and fought with a fierce man on the other side, Zhao Yu and the opponent actually played a chess game to meet the opponent, but the opponent's kung fu and weapons were relatively strange, so Zhao Yu was a little uncomfortable for a while.
In this way, Zhao Yu didn't pay attention all of a sudden, and almost missed the other party's plot, but Xia Houlan made a timely move to save Zhao Yu, but Xia Houlan was injured by the other party's fierce man.
In fact, Xia Houlan's injuries were not serious, what was serious was that their arrows were poisonous, and later Zhao Yu saw that the weapons used by the other party were strange, not to mention, they all used crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows of the other party were all bursting power, and some crossbow arrows could not even be blocked by shields.
"Let's go, go over and have a look." After Fu Lin heard what Zhao Yu said, he hurriedly said, but before Fu Lin could take two steps, he turned around and said, "Fengxiao, you are in the middle of the Chinese army, go." ”
In this way, Fu Lin, under the escort of Dian Wei and Zhao Yu, rushed to the front army, and it took Fu Lin and them two quarters of an hour to come to the front army.
