Lin Ji's punishment for breaking his teeth seemed to be very severe, but the generals knew that it was nothing at all. If you have a demerit or something, you will make a meritorious service next time, and you can eliminate it by talking to Lin Ji. As a marquis, there is no shortage of various supplies, and the salary for a few months is a drop in the bucket compared to those materials from later generations.

But after Lin Ji said this, they finally understood that this so-called staff was also listening to broken teeth, and this was fine. This staff made them so angry before, and now it depends on who is angry with whom.

On the radio, Broken Tooth seized the opportunity to report a few of his own combat ideas to Lin Ji, and soon got Lin Ji's approval and ended the call.

When everyone walked out, Jin Yao found that Lin Ji didn't mention him, didn't ask him about all kinds of things about the battle, and didn't even punish him.

Thinking of the last point, Jin Yao was a little afraid. He has followed Lin Ji, is familiar with Lin Ji's style of doing things, and is somewhat politically sensitive, knowing that things are serious now.

Sometimes, Lin Ji will punish and scold a person, that is, he feels that there is still room for improvement in that person. When he stops scolding, it means that he has been disappointed in this person. In a way, this is human nature. Who bothers with something that has no hope?

From a political point of view, the mistakes he made must be dealt with as a big crime like dismissal. This will have an unknown effect on the entire battlefield where the battle is imminent. This can be considered positive for most officers, because Jin Yao knows that most people hate him. But Lin Ji didn't know if this would make the rest of the staff think otherwise, and thus have a bad effect. Therefore, at this time, I will not move him for the first time, and then settle it after the war.

He was dumbfounded on how he would be liquidated, but he had no clue about it.

As a smart man, he quickly walked out of this senseless worry, thinking that since he had not been dismissed now, he could still make meritorious contributions. Therefore, he immediately put his thinking direction into the work of the General Staff.

Now that Broken Tooth has decided to abandon the original strategy, what is the General Staff going to do now?

He quickly thought of confirming the message that Yoshishin had brought back - and then almost gave himself a big mouth. After Yixin said this information, the most important thing he should do was to confirm the information, why did he have to argue with Yixin at that time, so that he caused this matter to the king and made himself irreversible?

Standing at that height just now, why didn't he realize that he had done something wrong?

He hurried to the scout camp to give the order. The General Staff held the authority to gather information and therefore command the scout battalion, and he now confirmed that he had done nothing wrong.

But the scout battalion told him: "If the chief of staff wants to check the situation of the 41st ship and the southeast of the Great Lake, the people have already gone out." Captain Stonebeak sent a small sailboat for surface communication, and our brother rode away on the fast horses of several commanders. The chief of staff wants to send another batch? However, we have just been informed that the chief of staff must have a warrant from the general to transfer people. ”

"How long ago was that?"

"It's been more than half an hour."

Jin Yao understood that Shi Beak had entered the radio courtyard one step later before, and he had come to transfer people. Moreover, he gave the scout, the fastest horse in the battalion, apparently well-behaved and aware of the urgency of the matter.

Jin Yao came out of the scout barracks and quickly thought of another point. At this time, there were already many people from the staff around him, so he ordered: "Let the radio inform the killer whale tribe that the Ten Directions tribe will move to the south...... Forget it, I'll go to the general and ask for a warrant. ”

He quickly put himself in his position and decided to keep his head down and do things. Previously, he also had access to the radio. But thinking of his sinful body now, he decided that it would be better to be safe.

A staff officer next to him said, "The radio has been dispatched." As soon as you came out of the radio, General Foldtooth turned back to the radio room and sent out an announcement. ”

"Huh?" Jin Yao was a little dazed.

He thought that this battlefield could be separated from anyone, but he couldn't leave the staff. Now he suddenly found that without himself, the barracks was still functioning. I'm not as important as I thought.

He finally panicked. If he were completely abandoned, it would be impossible to make meritorious deeds, and his fate would be extremely miserable at the end of the war. At that time, as long as he is dismissed, the generals who have been yelled at by him will not let him go.

At this time, Lin Ji taught him how to do things and gave him great help. He tried to calm himself down and think about what he could do.

His thinking was still very clear. His purpose was to make meritorious deeds, so he didn't think about other messy things, so as not to put himself in a more difficult situation.

"Where is General Broken Tooth now?" He finally figured out where he was.

"General Folded Tooth is discussing in the tent."

Jin Yao soon came to the outside of the tent and signed up: "Jin Yao from the subordinate staff department came to report. ”

"Enter." Broken Teeth responded.

The generals in the tent quieted down and looked at Jin Yao one by one. This seems to be the first time this chief of staff has signed up. This is a strange thing, and they can't afford to look at each other twice, so as to embarrass each other.

Jin Yao sat at the end of the long table, took out his notebook, bowed his head and said nothing, just pondering the current battlefield situation.

"What can the Staff do now?" Broken Tooth asked. These words drew laughter from the generals. The first item on the agenda was to stop the fortifications that were being built outside and let the soldiers return to the camp to rest and prepare for battle. What the General Staff had previously advocated was gone.

The generals were also curious, what else could the General Staff do at this time?

Jin Yao's face remained unchanged and said, "The first step that the staff suggests we should do is to confirm whether these messages are true and accurate. The second step is to inform the killer whale tribe to strengthen its precautions in the north to avoid being caught off guard. ”

"This has been done." Some generals teased.

Jin Yao said quietly: "The General Staff can also provide battlefield analysis and tactical suggestions based on existing intelligence. ”

"Tell me about it." Folding his teeth and looking at Jin Yao, he also admired it a little in his heart. can find his own position so quickly and start to do things with his head down, this person is indeed a talent. No wonder Lin Ji thinks so highly of him.

Jin Yao stood in front of the battlefield map and said, "If this information is true. We can first analyze how much time the ten parties have left for us. ”

"Based on the reports of the arson guerrillas, we can know that our first fire in the Ten Directions was on Plot 107, near the lake, a month ago. This place is a range of our frequent attacks, and there are not many people living there, so it is unlikely that it will immediately attract the attention of the people of the Ten Directions. The place where the fire immediately caught fire was 108, 109, all on the same day, and then 132, 141, 142 by another team along the river the next day...... "Jin Yao carried the order of arson on his back like a few family treasures, and the generals did not have any temper at all. This memory is indeed unparalleled at the scene.

"By the time the 241 plots were burned, nearly a quarter of the cultivated land in the ten directions had been burned. And it has penetrated deep into their hinterland. My guess is that at this point they should have reacted and knew what we were going to do. ”

"This time was twenty days ago. It was exactly ten days from the time the fire caught fire. This time is also probably enough for feedback and discussion from all parties on the other side. ”

Later, they received news one after another, and in addition to panicking, they would respond. I don't know what the reason for this conclusion is. But I estimate from the information I have fought against them and the habits of the tribe that it may take them about ten days to come to this conclusion and convince most of the leaders of the tribe. That is, they will start the operation ten days ago. ”

Ten days earlier, they told the people in the south to burn the wasteland, make roads, build bridges, and build rafts, and then they told the people from the north to gather in the south. Their chieftain generally resides between Parcel 247 and 263, about 200 kilometers from the farthest settlement to the north. It is about 100 km from the southern settlement. From here, the people they told went north, and then they took the women and children south to these locations. It takes about 15 days at most. Of course, those to the south are probably already gathered. ”

"In other words, there are five days left at most before they can gather all the people and complete the battle of relocation."

"However, if our 41 ships and scouts had ever approached them, they would have certainly accelerated this pace. From their point of view, they will definitely let those in front attack in advance. So, I analyze, their first people may have crossed the river and rushed into the killer whale tribe. Most of the people who follow will probably enter the territory of the killer whale tribe between two and three days. ”

Jin Yao's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, which convinced the generals and trembled. The situation is definitely more critical than they thought.

"What do you think we do?" Folding teeth asked subconsciously.

Jin Yao said: "In my opinion, the first thing to do is to confirm whether the news is true by tomorrow morning at the latest." ”

Broken Tooth ordered: "Order the scout to send another team to investigate along the lake, and then report back immediately." Ride my horse and bring my flashlight. Let's go. ”

Jin Yao added: "You can send a team of 100 people to build supply points and beacons along the way, and once there is news, the beacon will return." Driftwood beacons can also be prepared in the lake. ”

The practice of driftwood beacons is not difficult, as long as you drag and drop the dry wood sampan. The surface of the lake seems flat, but because of the curvature of the earth, it is not possible to see the other side of the lake 100 kilometers away with a telescope.

Folded Tooth nodded and said, "Do it together." ”

Stone Beak took the map and immediately went down to make arrangements.

The use of beacons is a last resort. Now the radio has reached the killer whale tribe. But the radio was installed in the city of Shanghai, near the mouth of the Yangtze River. At this time, the sea level was low, and Shanghai was actually more than 400 kilometers away from the Shifang tribe. In other words, even if the Ten Fang Tribe invaded the Orca Tribe, the Zhu Monkey may still be notified by this side if he wants to get the news. Because Hong'anying is less than 200 kilometers away from the southernmost crossing point of the Ten Directions.

At this time, Jin Yao had completely grasped the initiative in Shuai's tent. It's just that his attitude at this time made the generals in the tent not feel uncomfortable.

He asked, "Does the general think Yixin is worth trusting?" ”

Folded teeth said: "Except for a period of street market, he has no bad deeds. ”

Jin Yao said: "If the general thinks Yixin is credible, I suggest that before the intelligence is confirmed, you can use the boat to pull some people to the opposite shore." As I said before, the population on the other side of the river must now be flowing southward. We can put some people at these crossing points and block them in sections. And considering that the Ten Directions tribe has a large depth, it is also possible to let some people go deep into the east to see if they have other offensive lines. Intercepted together. ”

The generals just felt that Jin Yao was a little reliable, but now when they heard this, they couldn't help but scold again: "You said lightly, how many people and animals can our ship pull?" What's the use of going less? And how to solve the logistics? ”

After Lin Ji taught killer whales to build flying clipping boats, killer whales have basically produced this type of ship until now. Although it has become bigger and bigger, even a 300-ton ship has been built, but this still does not solve the problem of tight cabins. After all, the ship's length-to-width ratio is placed there.

Although such a ship can pile up a lot of cargo, it really can't carry many people and animals. Otherwise, there would not be only Yixin on the 41 ship, and there would be only one person in the ten-man team.

This kind of battle to intercept the enemy is to fight hard with the enemy, and if there are fewer people, it is to deliver food. There were 120,000 people on the other side.

Jin Yao said: "We can only go to people, not livestock. Now we have six large ships on our side, and one ship can squeeze five to eight hundred people. Now with a tailwind, you can reach the other side in a few hours. One day is basically enough to enter the river crossings. We can let them carry a few days of dry rations with them, regardless of supplies. ”

"You're crazy, this is what makes our people die!"

The Chinese soldiers dared to fight against more than 20,000 people, and in addition to sharp weapons and strong armor, the biggest advantage was undoubtedly cavalry. Now Jin Yao let this group of people who went deep into the enemy camp give up the cavalry, undoubtedly giving up his greatest advantage.

And a ship squeezed 500 to 800 people, this picture that the generals never thought about. Taking the 41 ship as an example, there are only less than 40 sailors and marines on board, and ten deer are already very tight. Now exchange ten deer for a dozen to twenty times as many people? No one has ever tried.

In addition, now that the Chinese soldiers have been cultivating for several years in a row, their ability to survive in the wild has been greatly reduced, and there is nothing to eat on the other side of the main bank. Without thinking about logistics, they will starve to death.

Isn't this a person sent to death? Who wants to go?

"Who are you going to let go?" Some generals asked Jin Yao with a smile to see who he was going to offend.

Jin Yao's proposal is undoubtedly very constructive, and everyone had not thought of this before. As long as these people sent to the other side of the strait block the rear team of the ten people, at least it will greatly reduce the pressure on the battlefield in front, and at worst, it may put the front team of the ten sides in a dilemma and completely destroy their plan to move the people.

But everyone understands that the person who does this will definitely die. Everyone was curious about who Jin Yao hated the most and who he wanted to kill.

"This battle is extremely difficult, and you definitely don't want to put your subordinates in danger, so I want to gather some of your subordinates to go." Jin Yaodao.

"Which part?" Some of them softened their expressions, and they already thought of who Jin Yao would say.

"Honored soldiers." Jin Yao said the answer.

The Honored Soldier is the Slave Soldier. Three months ago, Lin Xi ordered 6,000 men from all over the country to be selected into the army to supplement the lack of troops at the front, and these people had been trained and sent over.

Because in the conscription propaganda, there was a slogan such as "slaves are honored to be soldiers, and they are honored to become civilians", these soldiers are called honored soldiers.

They did not form an independent army, but were scattered under various generals as miscellaneous soldiers and carried out all kinds of heavy work. In the recent construction of fortifications, they were the main force.

When the generals heard that they were being sent into battle, they had no opinion. There are no cavalry in the Rong soldiers, but they are only trained as auxiliary soldiers of the cavalry, and even if they are all transferred, it will not have much impact on them themselves. And when the honored soldiers go to war, they really don't need to bring livestock.

These people were almost identical to cattle in the kingdom, and they had no family to pay for when they died. Therefore, let them squeeze the boat, even if some die, no one cares and feels distressed.

Because of this, if you bring them a few days of rations, and then you don't care about the logistics, you think they will be able to survive. After all, three months ago, few of these people lived well.

Jin Yao said: "We gathered the honored soldiers and told them that as long as they beheaded three ten-party men, they could obtain civilian status, and more than five of them could choose their favorite captive women as wives, presumably they were willing to fight, and they would fight hard." ”

Most of these honored soldiers as auxiliaries could not go to the battlefield and could not get credit, and the maximum length of service after returning was halved. Now that they have been given the opportunity to go to battle, they have already undergone three months of recuperation and training, and their armor and bows and knives are on the same level as those of other kingdom soldiers. These are significantly beyond the level of the enemy, and it can be said that it is not difficult for them to accomplish this goal. Won't they fight hard?

As long as they are willing to work hard, they may really be able to block the rear team of the Ten Directions in the middle of the road. Jin Yao's tactic is very likely to succeed.

Even if Yixin lied or inferred wrongly, and the people of the Ten Directions did not relocate, these honored soldiers who entered the hinterland of the Ten Directions could turn the Ten Directions tribe upside down.

Thinking about it this way, no one in the generals objected.

Folding his teeth, he was still a little worried: "Can a ship really squeeze five hundred to eight hundred people?" ”

Jin Yao recovered a little complacently and said: "I have done experiments in Gouhu Lake in this matter, and the king's killer whale, we have accommodated eight hundred people. ”

In the future, the level of squeezing buses will squeeze five to six people per square meter, and a ship of more than 20 meters will stand on the cabin and deck at the same time, and there will be no problem in squeezing hundreds of people. It can be said that this is the capital of the General Staff. Who would have thought of doing such an experiment, except for the General Staff?

The generals found that this Jin Yao was really capable of acting in addition to his style of acting that made people feel annoying. This kind of tactic, no one but him really could have imagined.

At this point, Jin Yao's plan can basically be decided. The last question is, should these honored soldiers be assigned a senior general to coordinate nearby? In other words, to go is to go, who to go?

When the generals thought of this, they fell silent again, and no one wanted to be the first bird. Because a slave's life is not a life, but they can't afford to go on an adventure with a slave.

"I'll take command of this team." After arranging the previous things, Stone Beak didn't know when he had returned.

Everyone was slightly surprised, and he explained: "Yixin is my subordinate, I believe what he said. The sailors have also been under my management at all times, and I am more familiar with the waters. For both public and private, it is most suitable for me to go. ”

He himself felt that as long as he could come back alive, his marquis should be in his hands. It's a risk, it's worth taking.
