Chapter 29 Preparations for the Battle
Liu Chen and his subordinate generals Zuo Jun surrounded the map of Weihai County, only to hear Liu Chen say: "Our naval division has not been established for a long time, there are only 3,000 people, and it has not yet formed a complete combat force, so in this battle, the naval division is mainly based on defensive operations, giving up two warships and blocking the mouth of the pot, where to block the Dongying naval division!" ”
Although Chen Ying, the commander of the sailors, also wanted to compete with the Dongying sailors at sea, he knew that what Liu Chen said was right, now the sailors were understaffed, and the sailors needed more than 5,000 people to launch a naval war, so they could only do it in Liu Chen's way.

"Subordinates obey!" Chen Ying was a little unwilling to accept the order.
Nodding, Liu Chen said: "Don't worry, as long as this attack is defeated, I will definitely recruit the sailor completely, and in the next naval battle, you are definitely not defensive, but offensive, in addition, this time in defensive combat, Xiahou Ying will lead three hundred crossbowmen to assist the sailor in the battle!" ”
"No!" Ding Fu's deputy, Xiahou Ying, responded.
"Here, it is the only place for Weihai County to come here, surrounded by mountains, only one official road can pass, if the detour needs to take about ten more days, I will, we will fortify here and fight a decisive battle with the enemy!" Liu Chen pointed the tip of the Hanyang Sword at a location on the map mountain.
"Qi Shan?" Meng Yi opened his mouth and said.
At this time, Liu Qi spoke: "Yes, it is Qi Mountain, Qi Mountain is less than 100 miles away from us, and it can be reached in a day and a half, we have explored, the terrain under Qi Mountain is narrow, and the official road plus the surrounding foothold can only allow more than 100 people to pass side by side, and block the enemy here, so that the enemy's soldiers can not be used!" ”
Speaking of which, everyone else also understands that tens of thousands of enemy troops, with their team of less than 10,000 people, are definitely victorious and defeated, but they can be avoided at the foot of Qishan Mountain, the terrain is narrow, and the number of people cannot be used, so that the enemy's tactics of the sea of people cannot be implemented, even if it is a battle, it can only be carried out in batches.
"If such terrain is taken to fight, it will be a protracted positional battle!" Meng Tian said with a solemn expression.
The number of people can't be used, at most 500 to 1,000 people are put into battle, and one group dies in the last batch, and the fight is to see who can't withstand it first!
"This war is the best way to test our training, our training is about teamwork, not individual heroism, if we act in unison, then even if the enemy comes, it is useless, everyone, please go all out!" Liu Chen said solemnly.
"General, give the order!" Many generals clasped their fists at Liu Chen and said in unison.
"Except for the water division, all the brigades, set off in an hour, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Ying, and Luan Bu will lead one thousand and one hundred knights with me to take the lead, and the follow-up troops will be commanded by Meng Tian, and Li Xin will be the deputy, before noon tomorrow, you must rush to the foot of Qishan Mountain, do you have meaning?" Liu Chen immediately ordered.
"I'll take my orders!" For Liu Chen's words, the entire Han army would not have any meaning, so they began to prepare after agreeing one after another.
After everyone was ready to go, there were still Liu Chen and Liu Qi in the camp, only to hear Liu Chen say: "Liu Qi, you can send someone to contact Zhou Xiong and others, let them rush to Qishan to meet our army, and arrive within two days, in addition, send people to the north, I want to know exactly the enemy's daily itinerary!" ”
"No!" Liu Qi clenched his fists, and then retreated.
In the empty tent, Liu Chen was left alone at this moment, looking at the Chinese character banner behind his main seat, Liu Chen took a deep breath and muttered: "Victory or defeat depends on this battle, if I win, I will rise completely, and if I lose, I have to start all over again!" ”
An hour later, Liu Chen, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Ying, Luan Bu and 1,100 knights took the lead, more than 1,000 knights, say more or less, say a lot less, anyway, put it there, it still looks very spectacular.
At this moment, it is already dark, the lighting is completely dependent on torches, outside the Chengshan military village, thousands of soldiers began to march, the first fire dragon has left quickly, this scene was seen by many residents of the Chengshan military village, they know that there is another war, they can only silently pray that their relatives can come back safely.
The night road is not very easy to walk, even if it is horsebacking, it takes three hours, and it is only at midnight that it reaches the foot of Qi Mountain, and a relatively flat place is chosen, Liu Chen ordered the knights to rest here, and not to light more torches, because the Hou sent out by Liu Qi came with the news that the Dongying army was less than thirty miles away from here.
The distance of thirty miles is really not far, the cavalry charges, and it can be arrived in half an hour, the reason why Liu Chen let the soldiers rest is that he still has this idea, taking advantage of the dawn, to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, but Liu Chen will not be so hasty, he asked Liu Qi to send someone to investigate the defense of the Dongying people, if the defense is tight, Liu Chen has to give up.
At this moment, there are still more than two hours before dawn, enough for a good night's sleep, although there are no soft beds in the field, but the tired soldiers, leaning on each other and falling asleep, fortunately, it is still summer, otherwise this war will be even more difficult to fight.
"General, won't you sleep?" Liu Chen stood at the forefront, not knowing what he was thinking, when a sudden sound came from behind him.
Liu Chen turned his head and found that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Ying and Luan Bu were all behind him, and said with a slight smile: "I can't sleep, and besides, the soldiers are tired, someone has to watch, it will be inevitable to die before the battle, no one will have the courage to say that they will be able to survive on the battlefield, especially the next fierce battle we will face, I just do what I can." ”
Hearing this, Guan Yu and the others were clear-headed, and their eyes showed sincere admiration.
"Hehe, since you haven't slept, then tell me, if our army survives this difficulty, how should it continue to develop?" Liu Chen asked with a smile.
The four of them groaned for a while, Guan Yu said first: "The terrain of Chengshan Military Port is relatively flat, there is no natural danger to defend, and you can be stationed here in a short time, but if you want to develop, you have to find another place, after all, to develop, the army is the capital, and for the army, population is the key, the entire Yaxi County area, full of more than 100,000 people, can have more than 30,000 young people is the sky, but for our development, 30,000 people is far from enough." ”
The other three nodded one after another, as if they agreed with Guan Yu's words.
Liu Chen smiled slightly and said, "According to what you said, then where should we go?" ”
"First of all, we have to have a strong city, and there are only four that can be called a strong city in Weihai County, Weihai County Town in the north, Rushan Main City in the west, Wendeng Main City in the south and Rongcheng Main City in the southeast, the closest to us is Rongcheng, and my subordinates feel that Rongcheng may be a good choice." The baby said in a deep voice.
"Yes, the population under Rongcheng's rule is six or seven hundred thousand, as long as the money and food are sufficient, it is not a problem to recruit 100,000 troops, in such troubled times, if we can have 100,000 male soldiers, then no one is afraid!" Luan Bu said.
After listening to the speeches of several people, Liu Chen suddenly looked at Zhang Fei and asked, "Commander Zhang Fei, what is your opinion?" ”
"Ugh!" Zhang Fei froze when he heard this, and then smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't understand this thing, what the general says, I will do anything, as long as I don't kill my brother!" ”
As soon as these words came out, several other people couldn't help but laugh.
"What you say makes sense, but the most important thing for us at present is to get through the current difficulties, and only after this hurdle can we talk about the future!" Liu Chen said lightly.
"I'm going to die!" The four of them clasped their fists at the same time!
