After the three butlers got up to leave, there was a brief silence in the small meeting room.

And Grassping is also a stewed winter melon, so he thinks that things are just right for him; The two little ladies squeezed together and lay their ears, and at this moment, the eyebrows and eyes were silent, and they were better than a thousand words; Four or five long Qu Chang did not dare to speak indiscriminately, for fear of disturbing the thoughts of the general; Jin Qian and Cui Shibalang sat together, the latter was destined to miss this fight because of his injury, and he had a bitter face from beginning to end; The one who wants to talk the most is actually Helton, who has rarely walked in the battle formation sequence all the way, and he is really a little lacking in the actual combat power of his own team......

There was silence for a while, Luo Kaixian paused to write and scratch on the paper, and Helton, who couldn't hold back any longer, got up and asked: "General, there are many brave people in the farmers in the village, why are they ......?"

"Why not use them? Instead asking them to be grounded at home? Luo Kaixian raised his eyes to look at Helton, and said in his tone.

Helton looked stunned and confirmed, "Yes, Lord." ”

"Hmm......" Luo Kaixian sighed lightly and continued: "Helton, I remember when I first met you in Athens, when you had rotten grass-like hair and only bones left on your body, and now? ”

Helton subconsciously looked down at his own house, the wide and luxurious robe, the wide belt inlaid with gems and the well-fitting brocade fabric of the carefully sewn robe, just this dress, is a symbol of wealth that even the Roman nobles could not have, his hands crossed in front of him, he knew that although his current figure is not fat, but it is difficult to associate with thinness, even the small belly began to silently cling to his body.

"It's been too long since you've been in the battle formation!" Luo Kaixian said with a sigh.

Confused, Helton replied stiffly: "Lord, subordinates can still pick up a knife to slash ......"

"I don't doubt your prowess!" Luo Kaixian replied with certainty, and then said, "But, Helton, can you still cooperate with the battle array as dexterously as a few years ago?" Can you still roll in the mud and slash your enemies without any fear? ”

Helton was speechless, being able to kill the enemy with a knife and cooperate with the battle array is a completely different concept, without running-in, who dares to let strangers close to him on the battlefield? It's not just a matter of trust!

Luo Kaixian didn't mean to blame Helton, so seeing that this subordinate was silent, he turned to say: "There may be people in those households who are very brave, but it is difficult for them to cooperate with our warriors, and if they are allowed to carry out the mission alone, who can guarantee that they will not defect to the Song people halfway?" ”

That's right, that's the truth.

The reason why he refused to allow civilians to participate in the war, Luo Kaixian's first thought was that he did not believe in the combat power of civilians, and the senseless casualties were completely meaningless, and more importantly, he could not be sure of the hearts of the eighty-four peasant households in the village.

So, instead of letting the unpredictable and low-strength farmers participate in the battle, it is better to exclude them from the first place!

As for the current Shi Yuanqing gathering 3,000 people to attack? He really didn't pay attention to it.

"General, my subordinates understand." Helton, who had woken up, said solemnly.

"Hmm!" Nodding in response, Luo Kaixian's eyes looked around, then he took out a large paper roll from the table, tore it and spread it on the table, and said at the same time: "Stand here, I have drawn a topographic map in the past few days, come and see!" ”

Li Ji and Ge Rina's movements were like deer, quickly occupying the left and right sides of Luo Kaixian, and the fire lady, who likes to talk, helped press the hard parchment with one hand, and exclaimed: "Husband, have you been busy with this in the past few days?" ”

"Yes, see if there is a mistake in the painting for the husband? Nana, you and Siniang ...... together" As he spoke, Luo Kai first took two pieces of paperweight and pressed the somewhat warped paper, and then pulled Ge Rina, who was blinking with wide eyes on the side, and Li Ji to a place in order to vacate the position in front of him.

Unlike the startled actions of the two little girls, the leaders of the guards who were in charge of the battle were much more stable - they were used to Luo Kaixian's various practices before the battle, and the practice of first laying out the battle map like this, and then determining their respective tasks according to the map, really I don't know how many times.

Limited to the format of parchment, the topographic map spread out on the table is not large, according to the Oriental calculation method, the width is not more than a foot and a half, the length is only three feet, the total area is not even one square meter, seven or eight strong men look around, it is really crowded.

"Keep your head farther away, don't put your head in one place...... It's not the first time I've seen it! Luo Kai first found a thin hardwood stick, turned around and knocked it one by one.

After the rapid and continuous "bang" and "bang" sounds, a group of rough embryos led by Glas gathered around, each of them shrunk their heads and dodged in a twisting appearance, which caused Li Ji and Ge Rina to snicker.

As a person in the guard, these guys are no strangers to such things as maps, Luo Kaixian, the main general, will use them when explaining tactics many times, and he has also opened a course for them - drawing strategic maps, but these guys are used to holding weapons in their hands, and the things they draw are either crooked, or full of mistakes and omissions, in short, none of them can completely draw a map that satisfies Luo Kaixian, and it is also said that he is used to grasping weapons and can't hold a paintbrush!

In this regard, Luo Kaixian is also anxious, there is no way, it will take at least three years to train a professional military surveyor in later generations, of course, his requirements are not so high, but these rough embryos in front of him are far from the basic concepts of later generations, so ...... Everything still needs to be grinded, and it takes time to sharpen it step by step.

Too lazy to teach these rough embryos with words, Luo Kaixian drew a circle on the paper with the thin wooden stick in his hand, and said: "This is the terrain around the village courtyard and the defense layout map in the village, you all take a closer look, all the fortifications laid out in the past few days are on it......"

The strong men were staring at the lines outlined on the parchment, and a few of the men who had no time to spare were even using their thick fingers to make comparisons on it—they couldn't draw it with their own hands, but it was no longer a problem to understand and remember it in their hearts.

After a while, Luo Kaixian began to comment on the battlefield while drawing on the map with a thin wooden stick: "The west side of the village is a foothill, and the shrubs are dense with snow and it is difficult to overcome, so ...... Determined not to be chosen by the enemy; The river canal on the south side of the village courtyard is vertical and horizontal, covered by snow, almost a swamp, and the day before yesterday there was a fire oil trap, so there is no need to worry; The terrain on the north side of the village is open, suitable for cavalry raids, and the blockhouses built a few days ago are not enough to constitute a deterrent, so they ...... If the Song people have cavalry, they must choose this place to attack; Although the ice on the river surface is not thick and the river is muddy and difficult to pass, but when the night is cold, the ice will become more and more solid, and the muddy ground on the riverbank will become accommodator......

And Glass, Shi Le, Jin Qian and other strong men all concentrated on understanding the bits and pieces mentioned by Luo Kaixian, and no one would be the slightest impatient because of such long words. After experiencing a journey of thousands of miles or experience, these people will be fierce and fierce if they pull out any of them, but here in Luo Kaixian, they are as well-behaved as ...... Kitty.

By the end of Luo Kaixian's comment, several strong men stood up in unison, waiting for further military orders—a practice that had been agreed upon along the way.

The thin wooden stick in his hand was thrown on the table, Luo Kaixian also straightened his body, and said in a deep voice: "Summarizing the reports from all sides, the general has determined that the enemy will definitely launch a sneak attack on the night of today and tomorrow...... Heldon, you're in control! ”

"Obey, Lord!" Helton, who had been beaten a few words before, changed his appearance and replied in a respectful voice.

"Although there is no fear of an enemy attacking the southern canal, it still needs to be defended against someone sneaking in...... Kusar, take your ten men to take turns to defend the defense, pay attention to the sufficient number of rockets, if an enemy sneaks in, shoot the few, and light the fire oil trap at most! ”

"Obey, Lord!" Kusar was also a former gladiator, but now he is the chief of the guard, and all ten of his men are skilled at attacking from near and far.

"The situation in the western foothills is similar to that in the south, but it is more difficult to overcome, but it is also not negligent, if there is an enemy indiscriminately, it must be a tricky person, Mi Shiyi Lang, you were once the same hunter as Jin Qian, this time your team is responsible for guarding the west, do you have any questions?"

"Returning to the general, no! If an enemy enters, he will understand that he is a mountain hunter! "Mi Shiyi Lang is from the Old Tang Dynasty Battalion, he is actually the family of the three Qi brothers, but it is mixed with Persian blood and not pure Oriental blood, so the Old Tang Dynasty Camp was not taken seriously.

Luo Kaixian nodded and continued: "There are six in the northern forts, and there are three hidden forts, each fort is full of fifteen people, and the dark fort is ten, a total of one hundred and twenty people, but even if you count the people who have returned from the city today, there are not enough people, there are seventy people in the village, plus fifty prisoners in Xingyang the day before yesterday, all of them will be ...... Shile, one hundred and twenty people, defending the north, can you have any questions? ”

Erqu Qu Changshi Le Qiang resisted the thought of grabbing the beard on his face, and replied: "General, Xingyang captures people's hearts...... I didn't belong, and my subordinates were worried about ......"

"It's okay to ......," Luo Kaixian said, "Their families are all in the village, and they have never been treated harshly since Xingyang followed...... They chose to take refuge because of their families back then, and now they will fight with us to protect their families! You might as well let it go...... If someone can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, after this attack and defense is over, let him stay! ”

"My subordinates understand!" Shile's eyes lit up suddenly.

There was still one last key point, Luo Kaixian said in a deep voice: "In addition to the previous arrangement, there are thirty-four people in the remaining personal guards, excluding four people around him, a total of thirty people, and Glass, you will be in charge!" Defend the eastern bank of the river! Can you be confident? ”

"Please rest assured, your subordinates will be able to kill the enemy without returning!" And Glass looked calm.

"Good!" Luo Kaixian cheered lightly, glanced around, and said categorically: "This defensive battle is different from the previous punishment of Yang Jingzong, the enemy is outnumbered, although you let go of the killing, if you are not very sure, you will not surrender!" ”

"Obey!" Several of the people who had been named shouted in unison.
