The march of the army on this plateau, although Dushanbe was not far from Kunming, also allowed the army to trek for several days, and this is the case with the war in this area, and the march often takes much more energy than the battle.

Along the way, although it is heavily guarded, there are still constant moths throwing fire, I have to say that the fighting spirit of the Pashtuns in this vicinity is indeed tenacious enough, looking at the Northern Expeditionary Army under such a strong military situation, still trying to defend their hometown, the search team on the periphery continues to send news that a small group of enemy troops have been annihilated, but of course, occasionally the Song army itself will have a lot of losses.

After this war, needless to say, the entire Pamir Plateau may be destroyed into a white land, and it is probably a good result for the local Pashtuns to survive half of them.

It is no wonder that the Song people have never been able to grasp this place, on the one hand, the terrain is too poor and too worthless, and the Song people who have opened up the great world in Yanzhou in Nanyang have no interest in developing this place at all. Moreover, the people in this place are too strong, and the management is too energy-consuming, and the gains outweigh the losses, and the land is vast and sparsely populated.

I'm afraid it's this big road, if it weren't for the army going north every year, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to build it!

In short, even if a big country invades another country in this era, it is also necessary to talk about economic benefits, and no one will do the business of losing money after all.

Li Zhe can fully understand the difficulties of the bigwigs in the upper echelons of Tianzhu Continent, he is still constantly training his soldiers on the march, and in addition, in the rear, there are more and more Li family guns and grenades sent along the logistics line of the army, this is their privilege as a regular army, and there is no need to use it in vain.

The second battalion of five capitals, in addition to the five capitals, and two more flintlock pistols, in addition to the training of a grenadier capital, the soldiers are more and more proficient in training, can be the first to equip the legendary Li firearms, the officers and soldiers of the second battalion are naturally extremely happy, there is no soldier who does not understand the importance of a good firearm on the battlefield to enhance their combat strength, training is extremely hard, this period of time, although not as skilled as the original five, but the use of firearms and formations have been mastered.

As the main general, during the training, Li Zhe himself has a more and more intuitive understanding of this set of tactics, and his majesty has gradually entered the hearts of the people.

On this day, the army was finally about to reach its destination. At noon, news of the battle came from the front, and according to the heralds in front, Dushanbe was a very small city, not enough to defend it, so that even the Mongols' own army was camped in the valley.

And this time, the Northern Expeditionary Army finally faced the real enemy, and the Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, Beshi Bali, was indeed personally leading the army and waiting in front. There are 200,000 allied troops of all ethnic groups, this battle is probably the last battle of the Northern Expedition, and it is now September, after this battle, the entire Green Ridge will be covered with heavy snow, and neither the Great Song nor the Mongols have the strength to continue fighting in the next season.

The Great War has begun.

Li Zhe received the military order to personally go to the forward headquarters for a meeting. Now, as the commander of the second battalion, he is qualified to participate in such high-level meetings.

When he arrived at the headquarters, in the big tent, all the officers had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw him, Wang Yu only nodded to him, motioned for him to sit down, and then continued to preach:

“…… We will face a coalition of 200,000 men, most of whom are cavalry, and the enemy's mobility is far superior to ours, so from now on, all the divisions will be contracted, and it must be ensured that the enemy will not be left with a chance to break through. If any of you are left out and surrounded by many people, I will not necessarily disregard the safety of the army and save you. ”

Wang Yu said that although the surrounding river valley area is still narrow, it has left enough room for the cavalry to maneuver, according to the front report, the width of the surrounding river valley is more than 100 li, almost like a small plain, which is a rare flat area in the plateau area.

That's why there are so many people gathered around here, and there is also the Silk Road.

This kind of terrain is different from the terrain that has always been in the plateau and ravines in front, and the surrounding area is the most suitable place for the steppe cavalry to play.

Although the main phalanx of the Song army has the advantage of facing the cavalry in the front, if it really encounters a surprise attack in a hurry, the end will not be much better than before, so the more you get to this moment, the more you have to rush forward in a group, regardless of what cavalry harassment around you, what long-distance flanking attacks, go straight to Dushanbe with one mind, and only seek a frontal decisive battle is the right reason, and you must not give the enemy a chance to delay in a roundabout way.

Anyway, a frontal enemy is no match for our army.

The so-called strange soldiers, it is only useful when I leave you with flaws, but if I have no flaws, it will be useless for you to have strange soldiers. This is the terrible thing about the so-called upright soldiers.

The officers in the tent have dealt with the Mongols for many years, and they all understand this truth.

At this time, listening to Wang Yu's re-emphasis, the commanders of the armies listened to the order one after another.

"Alright, so be it! The armies will all act according to the strategy just laid out, and I won't say much here, so let's go down! ”

"Yes!"

The officers scattered in all directions.

Li Zhe was about to get up, when he suddenly saw Wang Yu looking up at him, and Li Zhe hurriedly came to Wang Yu from the seat.

"General!"

Wang Yu suddenly changed his face, and suddenly it seemed that the serious General Wang just now was completely gone, and said to Li Zhe with a pleasant face:

"How about it, can you still get used to the escort baggage in the previous paragraph?"

Li Zhe was flattered,

"It's okay, it's okay!"

"It's just that I haven't had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions with my own hands, which makes my subordinates unwilling, general, you can also see how my soldiers performed in the big competition. We usually train hard and train a new type of formation, but only now is the opportunity to go into battle to test the combat effectiveness of the actual battle! ”

Finally, I grabbed an opportunity to have a direct conversation with Wang Yu, such an opportunity must not be missed.

Wang Yu listened to Li Zhe's earnest desire to fight, and smiled,

"Don't worry! When you go into battle, there must be an opportunity, and your soldiers are elite soldiers, and elite soldiers are all to be used on the blade. ”

"Then thank you to the general!" Li Zhe hurriedly hit the snake with the stick, and hurriedly finalized Wang Yu's style.

Wang Yu laughed,

"You, you! Don't you know that I'm taking care of you in front of me? Stay in the rear to take care of the baggage, I don't know how many people envy you for this fat difference, and you also know that the army does have doubts about how your innovative actual combat is, if I replace all your new formations on the battlefield, the battlefield soldiers will be dangerous......"

Li Zhe said without thinking:

"General! Real gold is not afraid of fire, I, Li Zhe, have confidence in me and my subordinates, so let me go to the battlefield! ”

Wang Yu looked at Li Zhe for a long time and said,

"Good! Since you are so eager to fight, then I will give you a chance. ”

Li Zhe immediately clenched his fists and shouted:

"Thank you, General."

When Li Zhe received the military order and walked out, Wang Yu looked at Li Zhe's back, with a complicated meaning in his eyes.
