Chapter 038: Pre-War Deployment

Han Ying, the Chinese military tent......

Seventy-two soldiers of the Tiger Camp wore ghost masks and stood on both sides of the tent like a terrifying door god, their eyes revealing the firmness of robots, and their armor was constantly glowing with red flames under the brazier in front ......of the camp.

In the tent, more than 30 generals of the Northern Expedition sat quietly and listened to the case, and the generals led by the front were still discussing something.

"Generals, before the meeting of the army, I will first convey a document sent by the imperial court yesterday." Saying that, the general Wei Qing took out a bucket of bamboo slips from the front of the case and said: "Prime Minister Li Cai and several ministers have repeatedly urged us to fight a quick battle in the early days, and the consumption of 100,000 troops on the border line will only make the national strength more fragile and empty." ”

After finishing speaking, Wei Qing put down the bamboo slip and then stood up, looked around at the generals and continued: "In order to protect our 100,000 army, Prime Minister Li Cheng has hollowed out all the family resources of our Han Dynasty, and even issued several regulations on the atonement of prisoners. After speaking, Wei Qing suddenly smiled and continued: "By the way, Prime Minister Li Cheng mortgaged General Fei's mansion. ”

"Ahh

"Hahaha!"

Li Guang stood up in surprise, his eyes revealed disbelief, this younger brother Li Cai would not do such a thing no matter how much he had an opinion on him, but the generals laughed after hearing this.

Seeing everyone laughing, Wei Qing signaled for silence and continued: "We don't have much time, the rear has given us such a great force, if we can't annihilate the main force of the Huns in one fell swoop this time, what face will we have to meet them, and what face will we face back." After speaking, there was a trace of anxiety on Wei Qing's face: "However, now we don't even know where the main force of Yi Zhi is." ”

"General, this battle is the first hard encounter between my Han and the main force of the Huns, and the last general thinks that it is better to send a large number of spies to investigate clearly before making a decision, after all, it is not a trivial matter for tens of thousands of troops to go out of the fortress." Heqi Hou Gongsun Ao said.

Seeing that Gongsun Ao, the Hou of Heqi, talked about the spies, the general Wei Qing suddenly smiled, he stood up and pointed at Gongsun Ao and said: "Speaking of spies, I will tell you a good news, when we sent troops to attack the orphan depression, Gongsun He captured more than 500 people who left the city overnight in the Dingxiang area. After speaking, Wei Qing also made a special gesture.

"What are you doing with 500 people out of town?" One of the generals asked with a smile.

Seeing that the general asked such a stupid word, Wei Qing just smiled and said: "Our attack on the orphan depression is very urgent, almost on the spot decided to go out of the fortress overnight, and then closed the city gate, more than 500 people from the Dingxiang line at night either crossed the Great Wall or rushed to the card, if it is the people, why are they?" ”

"Oh, I see!"

"Therefore, what the Heqi Marquis said this time is a battle with the main force of the Hun army, and it must be investigated, but! We can catch more than 500 of their exploration horses, presumably the exploration horses we sent out have already been ......" After speaking, Wei Qing walked to the map and looked at it, sighed and said: "At least, Ben Jiang has not received our exploration horse report for several days, so we can't wait." ”

After finishing speaking, Wei Qing pointed to the sheepskin map next to him with a horsewhip in his hand and said: "This operation, the scale is larger than before, everyone studied it together last time, and the general has also thought about it for a long time in the past few days, the main duel is still the best positional battle of the advancing type, and the Bandung Golden Lock Formation that was discussed last time will also feel that it is also feasible." ”

……

The meeting of the Chinese army was held late in the evening, and this time the parliamentary army discussed and agreed on all the issues of the main force duel, reviewed the situation of the battle in the orphan valley, learned lessons and lessons, and commended and informed those who excelled in the battle.

The general Wei Qing also made up his mind on the time and place of the attack on the Xiongnu, and the overall decision of the meeting was that the grassland was vast, and the 100,000 army was very suitable for the advancing positional warfare, and the long-range killing equipment such as chariots, bows and arrows, and strong crossbows were all standing in the array, and the shields were divided into the periphery, and the tiger heads, cavalry, etc. set up mobile teams to attack at any time.

Bandung Golden Lock Formation, is a vast grassland can attack, retreat can defend the formation, the main defense is about two meters high peripheral shield, one can prevent the Hun cavalry from approaching, and can protect the Chinese army in the formation, and the overall movement is faster, of course, this can only come in handy for large corps operations, if about 10,000 battles, this formation is too simple.

In order to prevent being divided, encircled and annihilated after penetrating deep into the depths of the Xiongnu, Wei Qing also rearranged the campaign direction army:

Fei general Li Guang and Duwei Li Dang were the left wing defense army, Hou Gongsun Ao of the joint cavalry, Li Fu of the right Neishi was the right wing defense army, Wei Qing himself controlled the army of strong crossbows, bows and arrows and chariots, Sun He, the servant of the prince, with 3,000 cavalry as the left forward, and Zhao Xin, the marquis of Xi, with 3,000 cavalry as the right vanguard, advancing in a steady and steady situation, and Su Jian, the guard commander, led the tiger and the iron cavalry as the guerrilla army.

Of course, the task of the guerrilla army is Wei Qing's specialty, taking the elite tiger battalion of the Han Dynasty deep into the enemy's depth, interspersing in a roundabout way, killing people when they see them, fighting when they see the team, not loving war, fighting if they win, running away if they can't win, and focusing on harassment.

"Do the generals understand?"

"Understood!"

"Okay, go back to the camp and prepare quickly!"

Wei Qing looked a little tired after speaking, he sat on the chair and watched the generals leave the venue while discussing, and suddenly his eyes fell on Zhao Xin, the Marquis of Xi, which reminded him of the previous camp's interrogation of the Xiongnu repeat offenders.

What made Wei Qing even more incomprehensible was that the six main generals all brought deputy generals, but Zhao Houye's deputy general Haba Hammer did not come.

"Master Hou, please stay!" Wei Qing suddenly stood up and looked at Zhao Xin, the Marquis of Xi, and then said with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the general stopped him, Zhao Xin and Li Guang immediately stopped talking, and Zhao Xin bowed with both hands: "General, please rest assured, Benhou will definitely live up to expectations." ”

"Last night, Hou Ye interrogated the prisoner, and the former battalion captain was offended, and I hope Hou Ye will not care." After speaking, Wei Qing looked at the general who had not yet left the scene and continued: "I don't know which felony the Hou Ye wants to interrogate. ”

"Repeat offender? Arraigned? Zhao Xin looked at Wei Qing innocently, and he didn't know what he was talking about: "What arraignment?" ”

"Oh, Ben is just asking!" Wei Qing looked at Zhao Xin again with questions.

"Ben Hou has been too busy with military affairs these days, and he has also interrogated prisoners!" After speaking, Zhao Xin looked at Li Guang and Su Jiandao, who were present: "General, according to Benhou's understanding of the Xiongnu, you should lead your troops to go deep into the enemy's rear." ”

Seeing that Zhao Xin bypassed the matter of arraignment of prisoners, Wei Qing had no choice but to give up, it was impossible to keep chasing and asking, and Zhao Xin also felt that this matter was nothing, because the current subordinate relationship of the former battalion was still under his management, and it was normal to interrogate a prisoner or something, according to the procedure, the leader in charge of arraignment of prisoners did not need to report to General Wei Qing.

In the face of Zhao Xin's attitude, and the big war was imminent, Wei Qing had to cross the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, he walked to the sheepskin map with a frown, and then looked at it for a while and said: "The general thinks that what Zhao Houye said is very true, interspersed with detours to the rear. As he spoke, he walked to the front of the case and continued: "In this way, the two armies of Xihou and Su Jian are combined into one, and march separately from the army to respond to the large army, and then march to the depth of the Xiongnu, detour to the rear, and catch him by surprise. ”

In fact, Wei Qing's move is also a last resort, he is afraid, he is not afraid of the Huns, but afraid of internal problems, you must know that some of the Wei Qing camps are surrendered by the Huns, and nothing can happen, and conforming to the Marquis Zhao Xin to lead the team is actually what Wei Qing thinks, but it is only combined with Su Jian, so that Su Jian can watch Zhao Xin at any time.
