As she washed her face, she calmly endured the angry gazes of the senior officers in the room. After ten consecutive days in the wilderness, his taste had already been sublimated to the stage of transcendence, and the young officers of Duyu Housi looked at the new commander of the security cavalry regiment and the supreme commander of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army with frowns.

"There are only 1,300 horses, which is already the limit number, and now the two passes and ten counties have been sealed, and there will be no more war horses to replenish in the short term, these horses have exhausted all the grain reserves of the state capital, if it is not for Gyeongju, all the gold and copper will be replaced with food this year, and it will be enough to eat in winter. The configuration of one person and two horses cannot be realized for the time being, so you can make do with it! Shen Chen didn't look annoyed at all, but calmly said these nonsense to the officers around him.

"It's enough, if you can have three hundred cavalry scouts scattered, you can see the enemy situation within a radius of 100 miles. The rest of the cavalry is used as a reserve supplement to fight against the Tuoba family, and if the cavalry is allowed to rush up and fight with sabers and bows and arrows, you infantry will be too useless! "Thin Feng Minda wiped his face while saying casually.

Yang Li was furious: "...... If you don't say hello in advance, if the following Erlang really cuts off a few heads of your bear soldiers to repay the merits, can you still talk easily here at this moment? ”

"You need to rely on killing people who have no ability to resist to take the risk, if this is the only thing that can be done by soldiers who have been trained for so long, you soldiers should be pulled out and cut down one by one!" Thin Seal Minda's face was still calm. Speaking in the ground is extremely scathing.

Yang Li sneered: "A thousand people were caught by us and eight hundred, you still have the face to talk here?" ”

"It took you three days, but you only caught more than 700 unarmed skirmishers with strange colors and languages, and let me gather a force of 241 people in the back mountain. Think about it, if these people had weapons, armor and horses, how much could you catch? If my 200 or so men are fully equipped and come up from the mountain col behind, what is the situation of this old battalion? On weekdays, you also claim to be bringing elite soldiers, is this such a fine method? ”

Let's talk about it. He didn't wait for Yang Li to reply, and said, "Tell you the truth." If it weren't for Shen Chen's immediate closure of martial law this time, when the adults come back, you would have waited to be punished! If you don't have this vigilance, it's better to be disarmed and return to the field! ”

Yang Li stood up suddenly, suppressed his anger and stared at the fine seal, his hand pressing on the handle of the knife and shaking.

The fine seal Minda still didn't care: "You can't be provoked, you can't be stabbed." You are also a centurion, and it is really difficult for you to take advantage of your duties with a battalion. ”

As he spoke, he threw down the cloth towel, stretched out with satisfaction, and waved his hand while walking to his seat: "That's it, there is no soldier, and if you fight alone, you will give it for nothing in front of you!" ”

With that, he sat down and glanced around the room. said with a smile: "Hugh said that it was me, and now even the stone can easily take care of everyone here!" ”

"Old Yang, sit down!" Shen Chen ordered without question.

Strictly speaking, he, the commander of the Yan'an Regiment, did not command Yang Li, who was subordinate to the Fushi Regiment, but regardless of his other identity as the Marquis of Yu, who had been in charge of the command on behalf of Li Wenge for a long time, it was quite effective, although Yang Li was still dissatisfied, he sat down without saying a word, and turned his head angrily. I don't look at the fine seal.

There was tension in the room before, but Wei Xun lowered his head to look at Li Wenge's warrant brought by the fine seal, and did not raise his head until this moment. He handed the warrant back to Shen Chen and said, "The regiment-level military drill can't be let go of on the mountain. What kind of place to choose? You guys list it. I'm going to say hello to the magistrate! ”

"This is a drill, not a drill!" Thin Seal Minda shook his head slowly.

Wei Xun frowned: "I don't understand this. All you have to do is ask for it! ”

Fine Feng Minda pursed his lips and said: "The more than 900 people I brought, for the time being, have not entered the camp, after resting for two days, with weapons and horses, at least two counties must be drawn out for me to maneuver, although I can't really use knives, guns and arrows, but the front end of the flat-headed arrow of the wooden pole should be dipped in white ash, according to the rules, one white spot on the infantry is considered a slight injury, two are considered serious injuries, and three white spots are directly killed." This article should be made clear, although it is a drill, but it cannot be tricked, it must be real on the battlefield, play smart at the moment, and always repay yourself on the battlefield in the future, this layer must be said to understand with the soldiers below! ”

"Don't worry, my soldiers are one and two are two, admit gambling and lose, as long as I don't say hello and mess around, I'm not afraid of anyone!" Yang Li still snorted angrily.

This time, Shen Chen was really a little displeased: "Old Yang, on the battlefield, do you also want the enemy to greet you in advance before he acts?" ”

Yang Li was speechless for a moment, but he still had a look of disbelief.

Shen Chen waved his hand: "Let's talk about the exercise later, I brought Lao Wei here to discuss the use of troops on the northern front, a few days ago I reported a strategy to the adults, and the adults haven't replied yet, so let's talk to everyone internally first, and help me come up with ideas." A few brains are moving together, and I can't think more fully than I am alone with the door closed. ”

Xifeng Minda turned his gaze to him, Shen Chen stood up and walked to the front of the map, and clicked twice on the map with his right hand casually: "The general strategy is to besiege the city and send reinforcements, transfer the main force of the Tuoba family from Xiazhou to Suizhou, and set up a battlefield east of Hengshan and west of Luyanshui, looking for opportunities to destroy the enemy." Then the light troops raided Xiazhou, and the camera attacked and captured the city of Tongwan. No matter how many adjustable soldiers the Tuoba family has, as long as Tongwan City is occupied by our army, the foundation of the eight divisions of Pingxia will be cut off, and the rest is just a lingering breath, and the rabbits without a nest will not survive the winter! ”

Several people listened attentively, and the eyes of the fine seal Minda wandered back and forth on the map, and Shen Chen continued: "There are several uncertain opportunities in this strategy, one is whether the main force of the Tuoba family will obediently come to Suizhou in the east, and the other is how the advancing light soldiers will not be discovered by the enemy while maintaining their supplies and combat strength. Tongwan City is really the crown of the world's fortified cities. If the Tuoba family shrinks with all their might, tens of thousands of troops will press up, and they will still have to withdraw their troops in autumn and winter, both of which I haven't decided yet. ”

"If you want to be surprised, you can't go through Qingling Gate!" Xifeng Minda said unceremoniously, "That is the only place to take the big road, King Aro has three hundred soldiers, even if our army is more than a thousand elites, it is difficult to surpass, not to mention that it must be kept secret." Cannot be detected by enemy troops. ”

Shen Chen nodded: "Du Si also thinks so, but he doesn't go to Qingling Gate." Walking on mountain paths, it is difficult to keep the secret completely. It was someone else's territory, and they were much more familiar with the terrain than we were, and as long as they set up one or two ambushes on the way, even if our partial division would not be completely wiped out, it would inevitably suffer serious losses. In this way, even if the movement is under the Tongwan City, the weak army breaks the impregnable city, and it is almost a fool's dream......"

"What's more, the back road grain road can't be guaranteed!"

"Even if everything goes well, the main force of the people will avoid the real and attack the false, and wait for us on the roads and grasslands in Xiazhou, it will be sent to death!" Yang Li added on the side.

Shen Chen nodded: "So the key is these two cases, you must think carefully!" ”

Xifeng Minda looked at the map with blazing eyes, Yang Li was right, if the enemy army was not fooled, then his main force would be at the eastern foot of Hengshan Mountain. However, the main force of the enemy army is in the west of the mountain, and it will take at least three or four days or even five or six days for the main force of the enemy, mainly infantry, to drive through. Really, the so-called siege and reinforcement has become a joke, the cavalry of the Tuoba family can come and go freely in the grassland at the western foot of Hengshan, with horsepower to attack and harass the Eighth Route Army that crosses the west of Hengshan whenever and wherever it is, and the tired infantry under the long-distance march faces the fierce cavalry on the inner line of the home battle, and the result of this battle can be known without fighting.

The key issue is to encircle Suizhou. Can the main cavalry of the Tuoba family really be mobilized?

Does Suizhou have such high strategic value?

"Nope!" Minda finally shook her head.

"If I were the head of the Tuoba family, and I put the main force of the tribe in danger in order to save Suizhou, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing! Suizhou has no such value! It's worth betting on eight fateful numbers! The party harrier spoke calmly, but his tone was quite firm.

Shen Chen sighed, such a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain can't even be deceived by the fine seal Minda. How can you expect to deceive the Tuoba family's old and warlike tribal generals?

He paused. Fingers move up, Dao. If our army quickly conquers Suizhou, moves north to attack Yinzhou, stretches the supply line, and creates a fighter for the enemy to cut off our army's food route, will Tuoba Yiyin quickly cross Hengshan to attack Suizhou?

Fine Feng Minda frowned, Shen Chen's plan is to calculate the enemy's psychology, to encircle Suizhou without fighting, this pocket cloth is too obvious, such an obvious plan to divert the tiger from the mountain is naturally difficult to deceive the cunning and sophisticated enemy, so Shen Chen added a layer of temptation to this troop transfer plan this time, it is estimated that he will expose his flaws and flaws, and create fighters for the enemy army to induce the enemy's main force to send troops.

Speaking from the heart, Hosophon Minda thinks that this is already a good plan.

The enemy's army marched north, the grain road stretched nearly 400 miles from north to south, and there was no army to guard, in this case, it was necessary to be quite determined, if he commanded the battle, maybe he would immediately lead the army to attack Suizhou, decisively cut off the enemy's grain route, and then maneuver near Suizhou, ready to give a fatal blow to the enemy army who returned in a hurry.

He immediately glanced at the extravagant water, but said: "If it were me, I still wouldn't send troops, the matter of the sailor camp was no longer a secret when I hit Yinzhou last year, there is such a naval army, even if I lead the army to cut off the land route, the enemy can still continuously transport grain and grass and the wounded through the waterway, although it is not completely impossible to break the enemy, but if you want to use the troops safely and prudently, it is better to be still." After all, in Xiazhou and Youzhou, it is fundamental, even if the two states of Yinsui are occupied, as long as the strength is restored, they can be taken back at any time. If I were Tuoba Yi Yin, I would simply divide the territory of the two states into the three clans of Yeli, Feiting, and Fangdang, withdraw the main force of the Tuoba family to the west of Hengshan, assemble and stand by, and prepare to attack at the moment when the enemy reveals a fatal flaw. ”

Shen Chen sighed softly, this was already the best way he could come up with, if the Tuoba family really sat back and watched the two states fall and not save them, he really didn't have any good ideas, after all, the matter of transferring the tiger from the mountain, whether it was out of the mountain was the tiger and not the people who transferred the tiger. If the tiger is smart enough. If you grit your teeth, you can't get out of the mountain, and no matter how good the hunter is, you can only sigh.

"What if the combined forces of the two Yang families traveled up the Wuding River from Yinzhou and threatened Xiazhou from the northeast? Tuoba Yi Yin can't keep all the cavalry in the city wall and not come out, and watch us occupy the counties and threaten at all, right? Wei Xun interjected.

"Of course not!" Xifeng Minda nodded, "If you enter a radius of fifty miles around Tongwan City, if there is a main force of cavalry in the city, it will naturally send troops to explore the truth or even set up an ambush halfway." The problem is that at a distance of fifty miles, the infantry has to walk for more than a day, and the cavalry can only go back and forth for about an hour, in this place. We will certainly move slower than the enemy, and we will not be able to catch up with it in just a day or two. Besides, when the cavalry goes out of the city, they don't need to camp outside the city, and our army hidden in the south needs to first get in touch with the two armies of Zheyang and ensure that it will be launched on the same day, and the cavalry of the Tuoba family will immediately seize the city as soon as they leave the city, and they will also have to conquer the fortified city before the enemy army rushes back, and it makes no sense to transfer the tiger away from the mountain to this point. The main force of our army is infantry, and the difference between it and cavalry in short-range maneuver is too far, so don't fight this idea as soon as possible! ”

Wei Xun is a military layman, but he also knows that it is good that the two armies, one south and one north, can roughly echo each other, and the two sides will launch an attack on the same day in the face of mutual news, so as soon as Xi Feng Minda said it, he knew that he had thought left in his mind.

"If our army continues to advance north after conquering Yinzhou, sweeping Zhenxiang, Kaiguang, Yincheng and other counties all the way, it will gradually move away from the Wuding River in the summer flood period. If the back of the army is shown to Tuoba Yi Yin, will this old guy still be able to sit patiently and sit in Tongwan City and watch coldly? Shen Chen gritted his teeth and asked almost word for word.

Xifeng Minda was shocked, he looked up all the way along the map, Zhenxiang County is located in the north of Yinzhou, nearly 100 miles away from the Wuding River, Kaiguang County is in the northeast of Zhenxiang County, the junction of Yinsheng and Yinsheng. The distance is almost 100 miles, and there is a Rulu River in the middle, which is a tributary of the Yellow River, and there are places that can be crossed on weekdays, but it is difficult to say in the summer flood season. Further north, Yincheng County already belongs to the boundary of Shengzhou. However, this county seat has always been in the hands of the Tuoba family, and it is 500 miles away from the state town of Shengzhou in the north. It is about eighty miles away from Linzhou, and the Yang family has insufficient troops, and this county town has not been able to grasp it, but it has become a springboard for the eight departments of the party to advance northward in the past.

Yincheng is more than 300 miles away from Yinzhou City, 500 miles away from Shengzhou City, the desert on the left and the Yellow River on the right, suitable for cavalry maneuvering, and the sailor fleet of Yanzhou must be rescued along the Wuding River, Shuoshui and Yanshui to retreat into Suizhou into the Yellow River, and then go upstream, enter the Lianshui River from Hehe County in the east of the river to reach Yincheng, and there is a distance of forty or fifty miles between the river and the county seat, and the cavalry can be completely cut off.

If it really caused such a situation, Tuoba Yi Yin would be a real fool if he was still sitting stupidly in Tongwan City, and he would be a real fool if he was still sitting stupidly in Tongwan City, and he would counterattack the Northern Expeditionary Army here, giving the Eighth Route Army and the Fuzhou Army heavy casualties, and the coalition army went north from Yanzhou all the way, and the distance traveled here was nearly six hundred miles, which was the end of the authentic crossbow. Thousands of elite cavalry of the Tuoba family launched an attack on the coalition forces in the plains here, not to mention heavy losses, and it was not impossible to completely defeat the coalition forces.

"It's too risky......" In the end, the fine seal Minda said this, this is indeed a risky fight, in the silver city and thousands of elite cavalry battle, the infantry does not have any advantage, only passive beating, even if it can defeat the enemy head-on, but can not catch up with others, can not expand the results in time, after the people reorganize the army, but can continue to harass the attack on the army's grain road, so consumed, the first to collapse must be the infantry rather than the cavalry.

Unless......

Unless the city of Tongwan is broken at this time, the enemy's lair is lost, and there is no rear road, and the space for enemy cavalry maneuver will be greatly reduced......

"Take the risk or not, put it aside for the time being, I just ask you, in this situation, will Tuoba Yiyin send troops?" Shen Chen's eyes were blazing, and he asked about the fine seal Minda.

Xi Feng sighed: "If you don't send troops like this, the Tuoba family is a group of fools......"

Shen Chen exhaled lightly and slammed his fist on the map.

Xifeng Minda said solemnly: "However, it is still difficult for the partial division to sneak attack Tongwancheng to easily cross the Qingling Gate, if the Qingling Gate is lost, Tuoba Yi Yin will not send troops to death, in Pingxia, the safety of Tongwancheng is the first, Qinglingmen is lost, and the Tuoba family will shrink their forces across the line and stick to Tongwancheng." ”

"Don't go to Qingling Gate!" Shen Chen gritted his teeth and said.

“……？” Thin Seal Minda's eyes narrowed.

Shen Chen's face was a little pale, obviously he had been a little too exhausted these days, he said lightly: "In the strategy I sent to the adults, it is recommended that the division send troops from Gyeongju, march day and night, sneak northeast along the Qiwu Mountains, and cross Changze and Yunzhong with a thousand foot horses, and approach the ...... under the city of Tongwan."

Thin Feng Minda stood up suddenly: "It's crazy......"

Shen Chen smiled bitterly: "I've calculated, three hundred and eighty miles, plus hidden tracks, it will take ten days to half a month, a long-distance march, no grain and grass to back up, all rely on the dry food supplies carried, there is no advance or retreat, if you can't open Tongwan City at that time, there is no return!" ”

Thin Feng Minda couldn't speak anymore, and stayed there silently looking at the mountains and rivers.

"This partial division is actually entrusted with the weight of the whole army, I must sit in the army, the main army on the east road, I am afraid that the adults will entrust it to Zhe Yuqing!" Shen Chen said slowly.

"None of you have ever walked that road, and you have to avoid the shepherds and scouts of the Tuoba family in Xiazhou, and it is impossible to do without anyone who is familiar with the terrain......" Thin Feng Minda replied in a dry voice.

Shen Chen smiled bitterly: "So you and I have to go to Gyeongju!" ”

Xifeng Minda said with a cold expression: "What about the security cavalry regiment here?" I don't know the language yet, can I teach these people to speak Chinese in a month? Without this cavalry, after entering Suizhou, the army would become deaf and blind, and be slaughtered by others! ”

Shen Chen scratched his head: "Is it only you who can communicate with them?" Aren't there many of them who can speak Chinese? ”

"One sentence or two is enough, describing the enemy's situation is extremely complicated, can you expect those kind words to solve it?" Fine Seal Minda said with a cold face.

"People who can speak party words are not absent in the army!" Shen Chen groaned.

"They don't speak party language, I talk to them in Hengshan Qiang!" Finely sealed Minda Road.

Shen Chen covered his face with his hands and groaned in pain.

“…… Xifeng, you have been training for a month, I will follow you, what is the Hengshan Qiang dialect, I will learn ......"

Everyone turned their eyes together, and it was Wei Xun, the military supervisor of the Eighth Route Army, who had been rarely speaking, and the face of the supervising army was full of embarrassment at the moment, and a big black face was a little red, and it looked a little purple......
