Chapter 402: Empiricism

PS: Last night I was wearing the code, and I actually fell asleep, and the final stage was strong to hold the code, which was terrible. I sincerely apologize to my book friends!

Wei Minglan knew what Tong Guan meant, and the Song army made every effort to annihilate the five thousand wild wolf army in Yongxing, and the party people must take Xiagou and Dongkuo to completely solve the problem of the wild wolf army.

He is probably clear about the thoughts of the people of the Song Dynasty, if they don't kill the thorns of the wolf army, their emperors and officials will not be at ease, and whoever calls their Taizu is a military attache usurping the throne.

In addition, the wild wolf army is arrogant and has almost become synonymous with rebellion, so Tong Guan's mentality of killing people is extremely urgent.

As the commander of the border, he is keenly aware that the value of this matter will far exceed that of the three cities.

The wolf army, which has about 10,000 people, is now scattered into three parts, and no matter how strong its combat effectiveness is, there are only a few thousand people in each place, and it has almost no counterattack power.

The key to victory or defeat lies in Yongxing's five thousand wild wolf army, which should be its absolute main force, just let Tong Guan's subordinates carry it.

The 60,000 Song army should be able to win the 5,000 wild wolf army, as long as this battle can be completely won, the remaining reserve troops in the east of Xiagou are not vegetarians.

Lin Chong is a rare handsome talent, who can reinvent the soldiers in just a few months, and has all kinds of magical weapons and equipment, and the hundreds of thousands of party soldiers who fought at the beginning were frightened, holding their heads and running away, and not killing them was not enough to boost the morale of the whole army.

As long as the wild wolf army can be eliminated, Wei Minglan, who knows the Song Dynasty well, is sure to encircle and annihilate Tong Guan's 60,000 army, and once again hold the dominance of the border in his hands.

Wei Minglan dispatched troops on the one hand, and reported to Li Qianshun and Yeli Mengfeng on the other, hoping that his brother could get more support in the process of cooperating with the Song army to annihilate the wild wolf army.

3,000 cavalry first went to clear the perimeter of Xiagou, and then 5,000 cavalry were dispatched to follow the vanguard into Xiagou to fight, responsible for annihilating any blocking enemy forces.

After the lessons of the last two times, Wei Minglan scattered all the only hundreds of iron harriers, and always keeping abreast of the dynamics of various departments on the battlefield is the first priority. In addition, 10 staff officers were dispatched to make a sand table to show as much as possible the various terrain and the distribution of the enemy's troops.

A famous person once said, "War is a classroom, the most efficient classroom". Wei Minglan is a quick learner.

At the request of Tong Guan, the monk launched a brazen attack on the wolf army with the cooperation of 50,000 forbidden troops. Tens of thousands of people are in a posture, which is indeed a bit of a momentum all over the mountains.

However, the vanguard soon discovered the embarrassing fact that the positions, barricades, and camps of the Wolf Army were empty.

All gone?

As soon as the fight started, the opponent was gone, and the monk was surprised, this slipped away too fast. It's incredible that these 5,000 people disappeared right under my nose.

The scout came to report that "traces of the Wolf Army Brigade were found in the direction of West Mountain"

Lu Qian thought for a while and said, "It turned out to be Xidu, so silently withdrew, it seems a little inconsistent with their usual style?" ”

The monk also thinks so, the monkey's ability and means are nothing more than tactics, tricks, and strange and messy things, he is not worried.

The third-rate army relies on stimulation, the second-rate army relies on the foundation, and the first-class army relies on each soldier's own professional ethics.

Since ancient times, it has relied on strength. For example, the Liangshan army of 3,000 people fights, as long as there are no major accidents, relying on their own equipment and resources, it is no problem to hold on to a mountain for three days.

"Then follow along, and see what these guys are up to." Lu Qian didn't know what the Wild Wolf Army was thinking, but his own army of 60,000, no matter how powerful the Wild Wolf Army was, could it still be eaten in one bite?

Not to mention that the party members are still cooperating in the battle against Xia Gou and Dongkuo, if these 5,000 people are let go, there will be endless troubles.

The monk nodded, left the city, and ran away from the wilderness, is it for the sake of it? Ambush? The ambush against 60,000 people is ridiculous.

"Inform the scouts, be sure to search every mountain and valley along the way, and cut off those who miss it!"

Lu Qian couldn't help but admire in his heart, although there was a twelve-to-one difference in strength with his opponent, the monk did not get carried away. Paying attention to such fine details, he is definitely a competent commander.

The monk led the army to the west, without fast advance or delay, and always maintained a distance of about ten miles. It's a safe distance, and we can respond in time if something happens.

Compared with the cautiousness of the monks, many generals of the Western Army were not satisfied, and they went to the cultivation of the master to ask for battle.

"Old man, what kind of battle is this? He also said that the new-style army fought ten at a time, and after chasing for most of the day, there was not a single ghost, so if it goes on like this, it will not work, just replace people, and I will be the vanguard. ”

The planter finally got this guy away with kind words and persuasion, and then another wave came, so that in the evening, four or five batches of generals had been received before and after, all of whom came to complain, and even threatened that this was a delay in the military situation, and that they would definitely not be able to convince the public if they were not punished.

Seeing the turmoil of the crowd, although he knew that the monk's judgment was correct, the old man still had to take into account the feelings of most of the soldiers of the Western Army, so he invited the monk to dinner.

The monk and Lu Qian smiled bitterly, it seemed that the old breed couldn't resist it, so they didn't say much, changed into simple clothes and rushed to the old man's Chinese army tent.

"The old minister is in good order, and Zhu Da and Lu Qian are ordered to come."

The old man smiled, "Carved rice, roasted leg of mutton, two pot heads, you two generals are not polite, come by yourself." ”

A big bowl of oily millet rice, mixed with various spices, very precious, and a fat leg of mutton for a while, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant, and a big bowl of white wine, it seems that there are not a pound of eight taels.

As soon as the monk Lu Qian sat down, Lu Qian asked with a smile, "Such a delicacy, don't dare to rush into the woods, the old minister has something to say, but it's okay." ”

The old man laughed, "Lu Qian, you are a popular person in the mansion of Gao Taiwei, and now you have joined the Liangshan Army, and you are an important minister of the official family." ”

The old guy turned his head and said to the monk, "Zhu Jundu, you were originally a disciple of Pilai in Kaifeng Mansion, and you coincidentally worshiped under Lin Chong's door, and now you have ascended to the high position of the commander of the military capital through Liangshan, so you are naturally wise and brave." But you can't fight alone, you have to have someone to help you. ”

As soon as he saw that the boss was obviously talking about himself, he quickly got up and said, "Old man, if you have something to order, if you continue to talk like this, the younger generation will not have the face to stay." ”

"Sit, sit down and talk." The old man hurriedly said, "I think we can speed up a little more, such as shortening the distance to five miles,"

Lu Qian didn't think about it, so he received "No problem, old man, we'll do it when we go back"

Five miles of road, ten miles of road, it doesn't seem to be important, plus the monk strictly ordered to search the surrounding environment, so Lu Qian didn't think it was wrong.

However, many times it turns out that empiricism kills people.
