Chapter 971: Father and Son Soldiers

Mai Mengcai, who played with Shen Guang in Daxing City from childhood to adulthood, was also on the battlefield for the first time this time, looking at this mighty and majestic military formation, he was extremely excited, his eyes widened, and his face was full of eagerness.

And the person standing on the other side of the wheat iron rod is a black-faced warrior with a big waist and a round waist, as strong as a bear, with a cyan birthmark on his face, and a huge axe in one hand.

Fei Qingnu's unkempt, weed-like beard moved, and his words came out of this beard: "General, should we tighten the speed of our army's march?" In this way, you don't have to wait for Shen, you can walk forty miles. ”

Mai Tie Cane didn't turn his head, he shook his head: "I, Mai Tie Cane, have received the kindness of Your Majesty, entrusted me with the position of vanguard, and allocated the most elite Zuo Wuwei three armies to me, what reason is there not to serve Your Majesty?" Other armies walk forty miles a day, we can't be so slow, pass on my order, walk sixty miles today, and then have to walk eighty miles a day, and in a month, we will get the Liao River! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the generals behind him changed, and only Mai Meng laughed: "Father, this is the best, see that these troops are moving slowly, you can go faster, it is better to let the child be the vanguard, lead the cavalry first, keep it for ten days to kill the Liao River, build a pontoon bridge, and let the army pass!" ”

Mai Tiecane's face sank: "What do you know, don't shut up yet, this is a military plane, not something you can participate in, just follow this general and learn how to fight!" ”

Mai Mengcai shook his head unwillingly, closed his mouth, and Fei Qingnu's beard on the side moved. said: "General." Isn't that too fast? will distance themselves from the troops behind, in case the gap is too large and the Goguryeo army seizes the opportunity, what can be done? ”

Mai Tiecane laughed, and as soon as he raised his hand, the iron rod pointed at the endless army, and said: "Our army is the main force of the elite, and the soldiers are strong and strong. Even if the Goguryeo army has 200,000 people, it is impossible to eat us at once, in fact, I want them to take the initiative to attack our army, if they abandon the strong city and gather to fight a field battle with our army, then they can destroy the main force of the Goguryeo army in one fell swoop, saving one city after another and fighting slowly! ”

Fei Qingnu shook his head: "General, are you going to use our army as a bait to attract the army of Goguryeo?" Isn't this a little too risky? It doesn't fit His Majesty's battle plan. ”

Mai Tiezhu waved his hand: "Will be outside." The king's order is not subject to it, and besides, His Majesty has already said it just now. As the vanguard of the whole army, our only task is to attack forward with all our strength, to attack the city of Liaodong, the terrain of Goguryeo is very complicated, the land of Liaodong is full of mud and mud, and there is not even a good road, if the Goguryeo army sees the strength of our army, it will definitely be so frightened that it will shrink into the city and dare not come out, in that case, our army will have to fight city by city, not to mention the delay, the pressure of grain and grass in the rear is also great, and now our army has only brought grain and grass for four months, it is best to rush forward alone, so that the enemy army will definitely mobilize a large army, Fight me in the Liaoshui area! ”

Fei Qingnu's brows furrowed: "However, after all, our army is only about 40,000, I heard that the strength of Goguryeo is not weak, just the army in the Liaodong area and the cavalry of the servant tribes, there are no less than 150,000, if they pour out of the nest and besiege our army, what will happen then?" Our army is short of food and grass, although it is strong, but it is difficult to say that it will win with a small number of people! This is not fighting in your own country, if you lose, you are afraid that the piece of armor will not be returned, please think twice! ”

Mai Tiezhu laughed: "Qingnu, do you remember how you came to our Great Sui back then?" ”

Fei Qingnu's face turned slightly red, and said: "This, this, Qingnu is a Turkic, when our Turks were defeated by the Great Sui, our tribesmen became captives and moved to Qi County." ”

Mai Tiezhu nodded: "Then do you remember how Gao Ying defeated the Turkic Dulan Khan back then?" That's how your father was taken prisoner, right? ”

Fei Qingnu's eyes lit up and said, "What does the general mean is to replicate the victory of the year?" ”

Mai Tiezhu nodded seriously and said: "Back then, Gao Servant sent Zhao Zhongqing, Shi Wansui and Wang Shichong, these generals, with three thousand Xiaoguo troops, with the vanguard of horse-drawn chariots to pursue the fleeing Turks. ”

"But General Shi and they set up a chariot array, connected the carts end to end on all sides, formed a chariot battalion, the elite soldiers ambushed in the formation, shot with strong crossbows, on the vast grassland, 100,000 Turkic iron cavalry, besieged for three days, lost tens of thousands of soldiers, but there was nothing to be done, until three days later, the main army of Gao Servant Shooting arrived, and as a result, the Turkic army collapsed all at once, and Dulan Khan was also killed by his subordinates on the way to escape, and he gave his head to repay his merits, this matter, I think the generals are very clear."

All the generals nodded thoughtfully, this battle can be regarded as a classic battle of the Sui army, especially those who experienced this battle back then, everyone is familiar with it. Mai Tiezhu said with a smile: "The strength and equipment of our army are more than ten times higher than General Shi's 3,000 Xiaoguo, and they also brought so many baggage carts, once they encounter superior enemy troops, they can also form a formation and hold on, even if they have 200,000 people, it is impossible to eat us in a day or two, as long as the main force of our army reaches the battlefield, then the Goguryeo army will collapse on the same line as the Turkic army back then."

The generals showed excited expressions one by one, and they stammered their ears, even Fei Qingnu, who was still a little anxious just now, his eyes also flashed with a desire to fight, he licked his lips, like a hungry wolf before hunting, the wheat iron staff was very clear, every time Fei Qingnu wanted to let go of the slashing and killing, he would unconsciously reveal such an expression, which showed that his worries had been left behind, and he couldn't wait to look forward to the decisive battle with the Goguryeo army.

A herald's voice came from far and near: "Report! ”

Mai Tiezhu frowned, and secretly said in his heart, didn't the Supreme have changed his mind, or was he afraid that we would go too fast and ask us to slow down? I must not abide by this will, and I must go alone to create an opportunity to attract the Goguryeo army!

But he still said calmly: "What? (To be continued......)
