Chapter 485

Zou Shuangwen was riding on a horse, and the war horse was galloping, and it was a special skill to be able to read the words on the battle report clearly in such bumps. In fact, Ye Tao had forbidden this kind of action a long time ago, and in the code of the Blood Qi Army, although the prohibition of reading documents during the march was very backward, it did exist. At that time, Ye Tao also took a lot of effort to explain the importance of protecting his eyesight, and even popularized a set of things called "eye exercises" in the Blood Qi Army, but these regulations obviously did not attract everyone's attention.

"Ye Shuai has no problem there." Zou Shuangwen said: "It is estimated that in one morning, Ye Shuai will be able to interrupt all the pontoon bridges again." Now, this kind of stalemate is the strength of our Blood Qi Army. ”

The surrounding battalions and battalions, as well as Zou Shuangwen's own staff officers, burst out laughing, and they were relaxed. The outside world has all kinds of comments about the Blood Qi Army, most of which are speculations, the Blood Qi Army is the first army in the world, and this head is not from Bai Rao. There were more than 50,000 people in the whole army, including auxiliary troops, reserves, engineering troops to maintain the camp and build the exercise site, etc., totaling more than 74,000 people, and they were playing with their lives every day in order to be able to attribute this proud name to the Blood Qi Army forever. And behind them, there is the most powerful financial and material resources in the world to support.

However, the Blood Qiqi Army is not completely ahead in any aspect. In terms of mobility and marching speed, the Blood Qi Army is not as good as the Jingyun Cavalry of Yunzhou, and it is not a big deal for those warriors from the grassland tribe not to dismount for a few days, but they can't do this; Speaking of well-equipped, Ye Tao's guard battalion is far superior to them, although the scale is always only about 1,500 people, but everyone in it is a master, and everyone's weapons and armor are customized, and this also makes the guard battalion always wear dark gray and dark gold moire embroidered cloaks on those parade occasions that require dress etiquette, otherwise, they will look a little "miscellaneous"; To talk about the explosive power of the battle, before they set off, they were defeated in a short competition with the forbidden army, Chi Yun's guy is too blessed, with the forbidden army's already strong soldier base, with the blood Qi army, Yunzhou armies A full set of training programs, with the financial support of the Dongping royal treasury, based on the forbidden army and the Tan family soldiers of the Jiangshan Fort, to create a more elite army of less than 15,000 people, these sergeants are loyal and fanatical, In fact, the ill-prepared Blood Qi Army was completely suppressed during the exercise. Compared with this army, it is even more surprising that Chi Yun, who has always been calm and calm, has a good demeanor, and is even more regarded as a half-"Confucian general", actually trained such a "berserker" unit.

The Blood Qi Army is most proud of their comprehensive strength, they may lose to some troops in several characteristics, but they are a comprehensive and powerful army, and the more important thing is that the blood Qi Army's soldiers are of super high quality, everyone knows what they are fighting for, knows how to fight smartly, how to make full use of all the resources that can be used, once the battle time is extended, their characteristics will be more and more obvious. The durability of the Blood Qi Army's combat is so strong that it makes all opponents headaches, and what is even more overwhelming is that they are always breaking through the routine and constantly emerging new tactics. Often, in short meetings, all kinds of clever ways of fighting are thought of, and the sergeants under their command will immediately put their ideas into practice, and even add their own reinforcements to them. From top to bottom, the army where everyone is fighting with their brains all the time, how terrible is that.

And Ye Tao, although he caused the largest casualties since the establishment of the Blood Qi Army in this unavoidable blocking battle, you must know that he is facing a Northern Liao army twenty times larger than himself, and in a pure defensive operation, he has caused more than 50,000 casualties to the Northern Liao army in a continuous battle of more than ten hours, this kind of record is already proud. The current Ye Tao is indeed no better than them at the level of tactical command, but Ye Tao is good at planning, organizing, and looking for opportunities to win in desperate situations, but he still gives full play to the characteristics of Ye Tao, who is good at planning and organizing, and is good at finding opportunities to win in desperate situations, but he also cherishes his own life incomparably. Although there were many wounded sergeants in the Blood Qi Army, the proportion of casualties was not high compared to this harsh battle, and the proportion of wounded and disabled was much better than expected.

Although he was very interested in the stepped camp that Ye Tao had prepared that was only suitable for that kind of terrain, Zou Shuangwen decided that it would be better to destroy the enemy first and then visit that camp. After receiving a message from Ye Tao and learning that there was no problem with Ye Tao's camp, he had already ordered a slight slowdown in the marching speed to allow the soldiers to conserve more physical strength. Of course, this preservation does not include scout troops and airship troops. These units are scouting suitable routes to cross the river.

The sky is not beautiful, and by noon, Zou Shuangwen's department had just arrived at a shoal more than forty miles downstream of Ye Tao's camp. Another suitable place to cross the river is about twenty miles downstream. Zou Shuangwen decisively ordered the division of troops to cross the river. Today the whole army must converge on the other side of the river. And at this time, it actually rained lightly. In this kind of weather, it is even more difficult to cross the river.

However, the officers came one by one to report on the situation, but none of them said whether it was a slow down, and with careful preparation, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Zou Shuang's Ministry of Culture and Culture took the lead in crossing the river, and the troops downstream began to cross the river two hours later. It was not until about half past seven in the evening that the whole army gathered on the opposite bank and set up camp in a wooded area. In order not to startle the snake, the airship troops all went to assist Ye Tao at this time, and the scout troops became Zou Shuangwen's only eyes.

In the camp, after carefully studying the map, Zou Shuangwen set his eyes on Qingya Town, which was behind the Northern Liao army. Although Gao Senqi and other high-ranking officers are now commanding operations on the front line, the logistics operation center for the 300,000-strong army is in Qingya. For an army of this size, what is more troublesome than fighting is this kind of logistical supply. Unlike Dongping's army, which has already set up full-time logistics officers at all levels, although Gao Senqi has also thought about changing the logistics system in the army, it is not something he can move alone. At present, the logistics supply of the Northern Liao army is still divided into two major parts: the front battalion warehouse and the transshipment warehouse, and the storage and transportation departments are directly under the control of Gao Senqi and others, and the materials are carried by the armies themselves. When this is the same as the Blood Qi Army, the chief officer only needs to tell what is needed, when to eat, how much rest time can be the most basic data, naturally there is a special person responsible for taking care of these things are completely different, and the probability of the Northern Liao officers and logistics is much higher. In the case of the Northern Liao army suffering heavy casualties, one can imagine how busy Qingya will be now.

"Overseer, what should I do if Qingya's side can't be attacked in a hurry?" An officer reminded: "The last general thinks that it is better to feint against Qingya and then ......."

"Reinforcements?" Zou Shuangwen asked with a smile. "That's a good idea. I'm also in favor of drawing the other party out of the camp to fight, but this style of play has to be figured out, and you have to play a little more carefully. But the first wave of attacks must be fierce enough, and must completely attract the opponent, so that the opponent cannot measure our strength. Draw them out. And our second wave of reinforcements must also be quite efficient, otherwise, we will not be able to create enough damage, and we will have to be in a dilemma. ”

The staff officer calmly added: "However, it is not more cost-effective to draw the enemy out of the field than to attack towns and barracks, right?" ”

Zou Shuangwen thought for a while and said, "Just do it." We only have this kind of people in our hands, and it is impossible to annihilate an army of 300,000, but we can't turn a war of annihilation into a crushing battle. You have to be fast and ruthless enough to bite off a piece of meat on this guy Gao Senqi. Otherwise, with this kid's temper, I'm afraid that the situation is not right, and he will soon flash people, and it will be even more troublesome at that time. ”

Everyone knows what Zou Shuangwen means, although the Blood Qi Army has opened up the situation, desperately captured Xiangning City, and withstood the long-planned assault of the army of Gao Senqi, but the losses they have suffered are not small, coupled with the limited number of troops, they have to enter a short period of repair, and temporarily lose the ability to expand rapidly. Once Gao Sen Banner retreats, the Blood Qi Army will definitely not pursue too deeply, and their bigger problem now is to stabilize the territory they have occupied, and join the army of the middle road, the north road, and Zhenning Pass, connect the battlefield together, and stabilize the battle situation. The results of their assault depend on Gao Senqi's decision, which can allow them to fully fight for no more than three days.

One order after another was handed down, and the soldiers lay down in the camp to rest, and the atmosphere was extremely quiet. Zou Shuangwen inspected the camp with satisfaction, full of expectations for tomorrow's battle. In the past few days, their first army in the world has been tossed miserably, the Blood Qi Army has never been in such a situation, and tomorrow, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In the evening, another piece of good news arrived, which made Zou Shuangwen last worry that the garrison of Xiangning City was not enough, and the hidden worry that the prisoner mutiny bomb could not be suppressed disappeared. In addition to the flying team sent from Danyang, the vanguard of the defenders of Zhenning Pass is now less than a hundred miles away from Xiangning City, and is still marching at high speed. After learning that Xiangning City had been conquered, although they reduced the speed of their march, they strengthened the defense of Xiangning City by ferrying soldiers back and forth by airship. This extravagant way of replenishing troops increased the number of troops left behind in Xiangning City from less than 3,000 people who made Zou Shuangwen tremble, plus a number of wounded soldiers, to nearly 5,000. And tomorrow reinforcements are coming. In this night, the frightened captives in Xiangning City couldn't make any waves.
