You see, that's Ye Shuai......"

At the outpost, a few resting soldiers found a group of officers on the hillside looking out over the plain in front of Guiyi City.

"Why did Ye Shuai run so far ahead?" Another soldier stood on tiptoe, then looked at the much more senior non-commissioned officer who was lying on the side, and asked, "Boss, Ye Shuai is here, is it about to start?" ”

The master chief spit out the blade of grass in his mouth and said, "Don't think about it, the fight is definitely going to be fought, and when to fight is not up to us." The matter of the war, I'm afraid it is not Ye Shuai who has the final say. The master chief smiled, pursed his mouth, and said, "Well, it depends on whether the other side is willing to fight, and whether he dares to fight." You bunnies, just eat and drink well every day, go out to exercise and rest on time, and don't get sick and diarrhea when the time comes. If you can't catch up with this battle, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight until you retire. ”

Everyone nodded their heads again and again, but they all thought of it. The Yunzhou military's style is now becoming more and more distinct, that is, it is fully prepared, effective in combat, and if it does not move, it is enough...... There are no enemies around who dare to take the initiative to attack Yunzhou, if the battle of the Zhenbei Military Division can be successfully resolved, it is estimated that several years will be the time to recuperate and reorganize the army. Even if there were occasional operations to expel small groups of enemies, it would not be their turn to be a group of heavy infantry. These heavy infantry were born for the current big battles and battles.

Ye Tao really doesn't have any experience in the command of this kind of battle, for Ye Tao, it is more important to choose the better ones from the opinions of the people around him, and the people around him are all very experienced. Dai Shijin, as the former patriarch of the Dai family, naturally goes without saying, and Dai Shihuan, who had been in charge of the entire army of Yunzhou before Ye Tao and Dai Yun, also came, although these two guys had not fought such a large-scale battle, but they still had some experience in the command of the battle. Tan Weiran, Cheng Chi, Chi Lei and others are also young generation generals who have a lot of military books to read and accumulate, and this time they will lead the left, center and right armies respectively to test their battle command ability in actual combat. When there is really a need for a battle, the energy of the Chinese military camp will be fully exerted immediately, and the huge herald team can report the situation of each department at any time, and those staff officers can summarize various classifications and report in priority at the first time...... Although there was no operation, the officers above the squadron level of various departments had already conducted two exercises in the Chinese military camp, and these officers who were originally not very favored by everyone and thought that they could only play marching chess, that is, the energy exerted by the officers who talked on paper should not be underestimated, after all, whether there is military common sense or not, it still has a great impact on this basic professional ability. Marching chess and long-term tactical deductions may not make this group of people directly qualified practical officers, but at least they will not be like idiots who do not understand anything.

"Ye Tao, the terrain here is flat, and it is fair to both sides to really fight on the plains. If he made an appointment to fight here, Jiang Xujing, who wanted to have the advantage of troops, should have no reason to refuse. Dai Shiheng carefully looked at the entire predetermined battlefield and said calmly.

How large should the battlefield be that hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides should be plunged into? Although it was a form of battle known for its dense forces in this time and space, rather than sparse skirmishers and trench warfare, the front of the two armies was less than ten miles wide. On the flat battlefield they had predetermined, there were only a few small slopes, which were not high enough to set up observation posts, but they could only be used for improvisation. And the two villages that are still on the battlefield are the problem. Although some of the villagers have been evacuated, some remain. Now, in the buffer zone between the two armies, they are quite comfortable living.

"Uncle, then please write a war document." Ye Tao said to Dai Shiheng: "The time is set in five days." Let's spend two days to help Jiang Xujing make up his mind. ”

"That's very good." Dai Shiheng nodded, looked at Dai Shijin again, and said, "Ye Tao, it's okay for you to get so many oil bombs, but what are you doing with so many fine canvases?" Wasn't the fine canvas used to release water to the baggage camp? It's a shame that you really hoarded so much in the rear. ”

Ye Tao smiled and said, "Uncle, I got this here to make Jiang Xujing decide to fight a decisive battle." Now that we're in the right position, we'll be embarrassed to move forward. When the battle was fought, he pushed forward directly, and he rushed directly to the bottom of Yicheng, and the other party directly retracted, which was really not very good. With these fine canvases, I can come up with some tricks again. ”

Dai Shiheng pursed his lips and said, "Look at you, you look happy, and you won't tell us a few of them." You are a strategic envoy, but you are also our junior, do you know what it means to respect the old and respect the virtuous? ”

Ye Tao shrugged his shoulders with a smile, but still didn't say anything. In Yunzhou, there are not many people who can talk to Ye Tao so easily, Ye Tao likes to get along with everyone on an equal footing, and hopes that someone will give opinions and suggestions at any time. But the relationship between superiors and subordinates is there after all. Dai Shikui is Ye Tao's father-in-law, needless to say, Dai Shijin and Dai Shihuan are the leaders of the Dai family, and they don't like to put up a show, and their status is there, but they think about it very much with Ye Tao. Others don't feel so comfortable.

Ye Tao just smiled and explained: "I'm really not good at fighting this kind of battle. But, think about my background, I can still do something fun. Just wait and see. ”

Those fine canvases are being cut into pieces of uniform specifications in the barracks at the moment according to Ye Tao's requirements, and a large number of tough wooden poles have also been transported this time, but because of the wide range of uses of things like wooden poles, whether they are reprocessed into arrow poles or used to support tents, the consumption is not small, and no one seems to have noticed. But when those two things come together, it's a different story. A triangular frame was erected, covered with fine canvas, and a simple suspension was attached underneath to make it look like a glider. There are even two guide plates that resemble vertical tails in the back. Later, everyone watched as the suspensions were loaded with oil bombs and placed on lightly modified rail-type ballistas.

Because the shape was so simple, and the sergeants in the engineer brigade in the baggage battalion were quite skillful, with the sergeants of the other battalions assisting in all the manual work of the carrying class, a large group of 1,000 people completed 400 of these simple gliders in a whole day. Fifty ballistas were also refitted. On the afternoon of the second day, when the documents were delivered, the ballistas and gliders were withdrawn from the front camp and lined up facing the city of Guiyi. At this time, they were about six miles away from Guiyi City, almost five times the longest range of these ballistae. The scouts on the Chunnan side tried to get closer, but the scout cavalry of the two armies of the Frost Wolf and Silver Wings didn't force them to leave, and they didn't mean to outflank, and some of them wanted them to see the meaning clearly.

"This thing is really hard to load......" The two sergeants of the heavy equipment battalion worked together to lift the glider above their heads, and then another colleague standing on the ballista gun mount adjusted to jam the glider in the rails. This is the first time that the heavy equipment battalion has encountered such a bad guy. The modified ballista just lengthened the rails, and there was no way to make the glider slide in reverse from the front of the rails, which is really a thing that God knows. But except for a few simple complaints, these people in the heavy equipment battalion really didn't have any complaints, and Ding Shi and a few of them were playing with these things personally...... "It's so exciting!" "This is how everyone felt after the test firing of the first glider and the first modified ballista a few days ago.

Around the position of the heavy equipment battalion, the rest of the sergeants gathered to see what it was. And even those camps a few miles away were coming.

"Everyone's ready...... One, one, you come and hit the first bullet. Ding Shi shouted at an old sergeant who was nearly fifty years old. The honest old sergeant stood beside the so-called Ballista No. 1. Compared to the others, this old sergeant had played this kind of thing officially named gliding bomb, yes, just once. But in this kind of scene, that's enough.

This old sergeant, whom everyone calls him the head of the old grandson, can stay in the heavy equipment battalion with extremely high physical requirements at this age, naturally he has two brushes, he aimed and aimed, carefully adjusted the turntable used to adjust the height and direction in place, locked it, and then narrowed his eyes and waited quietly.

Everyone just waited. "What is the old grandson doing?" A soldier from another battalion watching from the side asked in a whisper. There was silence among so many people, so he didn't dare to speak out loud. "Shh......h Whisper, that's waiting for the wind. ”

"Wind?" The crowd around them pricked up their ears. In the open field, there was a gentle wind, the scraps of grass scattered in the air, the rustle of the weeds around the camps, and the hunting of the flags in the camps all suggested the presence of the wind.

The old grandson waited for a while before putting his hand on the lever used to launch. Then he narrowed his eyes again.

Suddenly, the old grandson's head moved, and his hand pulled down hard. Only a bang was heard, and the torsion spring instantly pushed the gliding bounce back. The friction between the suspension and the rails on the glider makes a sharp grinding sound. The moment the glider left the rail, the sound of the hanging rubbing disappeared, and the sky seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, except for the whistling whistle on the gliding bomb......

Those who looked directly behind the ballista felt that the gliding bullet had deviated a lot from Guiyi, but the gliding bullet crossed a beautiful arc, turned a little sideways, puffed up its wings, and fell towards Guiyi City......

The gliding bomb seemed to fly in the air for a long time before it finally hit the city wall of Guiyi City. It was not a key location, it was far away from the tower, that is, a brilliant spark exploded on the city wall, and it was soon extinguished. But the Yunzhou army instantly erupted in violent cheers......
