Chapter Seventy-One: The Beginning of the Raid
"Lan Zhongjie, tell me about the recent situation in the central region, by the way, let everyone know something. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhao Ruyan's voice came from the floating screen, and Lan Zhongjie nodded when he heard this.
On the flat ground, thousands of horses galloped, and at this moment it was very close to the area controlled by the English, and everyone who was ready for battle was fully armed and ready for the next surprise battle.
Chen Xiaochu looked at the multi-person connection on the floating screen, Zhao Ruyan had been communicating with Lan Zhongjie, and from time to time talking to the seeds of civilization who participated in the decisive battle of the north, but he did not say anything to himself, which made him have the illusion of being left out.
"Isn't yesterday's promise in the big tent enough, how can I make you pay attention to me." Chen Xiaochu sighed in his heart, looking at the pictures of everyone on the floating screen, he felt a little frustrated that he couldn't fit in.
"Let me tell you a little about it, after the fall of the central capital, the members of the Central Chinese civilization were forced to split into two and retreat to the two strongest military camps in the east and west. My alliance leader retreated into the east camp with most of the members, and a total of five members, including me, retreated into the west camp. After seeing that everyone on the screen was looking at him, Lan Zhongjie said slowly. The intention of the alliance leader is for me to ask you for help, and he leads the army to try to find Zhu Yan to rendezvous. At the time of my departure, the general situation was that the main force of the English might be besieging the east or west camp at the moment. ”
"How many people are still in the West Battalion, when you leave." Zhao Ruyan immediately asked.
"Four members of the Chinese civilization, the strength is about 10,000 people, but ,,。" Lan Zhongjie remembered the battle in the middle capital, and said with a heavy face: "The enhancers and clones under their command have suffered heavy casualties, and there have been many problems with their ability to control the army, and when I left, there was more than one army mutiny. ”
"Army mutiny? Is it because of the dead enhancers? Zhao Ruyan then asked.
"That's true." Lan Zhongjie showed a wry smile and continued: "If an army is like its own arm, then the fortifier is the joint part that connects that army and his body, and the loss of the fortifier is equivalent to the loss of the joint, and the arm will no longer be able to exert strength, not only that, but he will always drag you down, and if you want to suppress the rebels who have lost the fortifiers, it is equivalent to hurting your own arm, but the rebels who can be persuaded will always be a minority." ”
"Is strengthening man the articulation of the army and the seed of civilization?" When Chen Xiaochu heard Lan Zhongjie say this, he thoughtfully in his heart, how could the army under his command not be like this, whether it was the Yellow Turban Army under Liao Hua, or Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army, Ma Chao's Xiliang Army, or even the White Horse Yicong who had been with him for the longest time, he was not very sure, and when they lost their main general, they persuaded them to continue to be loyal to him.
"Bai Ma Yi from the inside, I have called out the names of some people, but in their hearts, Zhao Yun is the first in line to serve the existence of death, how to persuade the army that raised the flag of rebellion, let these troops who are dissatisfied with the status quo lay down their arms, because it should be a means of coercion and inducement." Chen Xiaochu thought in his heart.
"I guess, your alliance leader must have placed something very important in the east camp and the west camp, let's talk about it, if it helps us in this raid, maybe we will have to change the pace of the battle." Qin Lan said suddenly, as if she had seen through something.
Lan Zhongjie looked at Zhao Ruyan and saw that the other party had no objections, so he responded to Qin Lan and said: "So far, there is nothing to hide, Xiying is actually the ordnance production center in our central region, which concentrates the skilled craftsmen who all of us have teleported, and when I left, the bed crossbow has been built, and at the same time, the defense capability of the West Camp is also the strongest, there are several towers built of stones, with those bed crossbows, the enemy who wants to attack, but it needs to pay a very huge price before it is possible to capture the West Camp." At present, it is Xia Chun who is in charge of the western camp, and the strength of his army is also the strongest existence except for my alliance leader. ”
"What Dongying has built is all kinds of siege equipment. Catapults, ladders, wells, siege vehicles, all kinds of mechanism combination requirements, complete sets of production, only need to pack a trailer with those machine elements, go to the vicinity of the siege city, cut and assemble, and immediately get a batch of reliable siege equipment, these things are personally controlled by the army of the alliance leader. ”
"It is indeed a very useful thing, but the western camp closest to us, there is nothing that can help our surprise attack, since you said that they have the ability to hold the western camp, then the original plan remains the same, first raid and take the White Rock Fort of the English, and then go north to join the men and horses of the western camp and subdue the middle capital." After listening to Lan Zhongjie's speech, Zhao Ruyan immediately made a decision and said.
"I can't imagine that the members of the Chinese civilization in the central part have already achieved this step, even the bed crossbow and siege equipment have been built, and there are large-scale weapons manufacturing, and only when they are united can they do great things." Chen Xiaochu thought with some emotion, the blacksmiths in his settlement did not want to organize themselves and carry out large-scale production, but first, the raw materials were insufficient, and secondly, the number of blacksmiths who could make good weapons was too small, and it was a little difficult to complete the refurnace and rebuilding of the defective weapons given by himself, and the loot collected in the barracks and arsenals had not yet been "cleaned up." ”
Chen Xiaochu had also tried to increase their speed, but he didn't understand these things at all, so he could only look at those soil-cultivated furnaces and blowers, helpless.
"It seems that after this war, there are a lot of good things to be gained from technology sharing." Chen Xiaochu thought about his shortcomings, if he couldn't let the replicants under his command master those technologies in ten years of communication and teleport to unknown places, there would not necessarily be so many people to help him.
"Time, the important thing is time, maybe I am not qualified to enter your core strategic layout, but I will prove my strength later, and use the fastest speed to pacify the western coast." Chen Xiaochu looked at Zhao Ruyan on the floating screen and thought.
In the distance, the scout team of reconnaissance suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision, and Chen Xiaochu recognized the pattern of the banner as Zhao Ruyan's army. The galloping army that was close to 10,000 horsemen, and the scout troops in charge of reconnaissance were all released a few miles away, and suddenly did not come back at the normal time at this moment, something must have happened.
The scout troops immediately merged with Zhao Ruyan's cavalry, and Chen Xiaochu looked at the floating screen from the screen, and Zhao Ruyan seemed to be receiving the scout's report.
"There is an enemy army in front of them, numbering about a thousand, who wants to deal with them." Zhao Ruyan turned her head to look at the floating screen and said to everyone.
"It's just giving points, is that the effect of the raid?" Chen Xiaochu was a little surprised that Zhao Ruyan didn't do it herself, but gave the points to others, "Then let me accept these points, it's just a thousand people, so that the Bingzhou Army or the Xiliang Army can directly and quickly solve each other." ”
