Doctor Xiao Liu called his junior brother, and the two discussed carefully. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Next to Li Wudi listened, and nodded from time to time. The brothers discussed for a long time, and Li Deyi finally couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, is it okay to fight like this?" We don't have any cavalry at all. ”

When Medical Officer Xiao Liu heard this, he couldn't help but rub his forehead with his hand, and said tiredly: "Hey, don't you want to get some cavalry." But cavalry is no better than infantry, and just having a few horses is a fatal thing. We have saved up all these years, and we have only saved up 300 horses. What's more, our Dingbei County, with its mountainous terrain and little flat land, does not have the conditions for establishing a large-scale horse farm. Just these 300 horses, we still have to work hard to save. Li Deyi obviously knew about this matter, and nodded together.

Then, whether it was a family or not, he didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive, Li Deyi immediately spoke: "Senior brother, we have few horses, there are many people and horses in the north, and there are large grasslands, which is just the right place for us to build a horse farm." ”

Doctor Xiao Liu was directly amused by his junior brother's words, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, we are now a little bit of people, and we can't even protect the six counties of this prefecture, do you still have the heart to ponder the grassland in the north?" As for the 300 horses we have now, they have been snatched from the Tuliao people one after another in the past few years, so you can be content. ”

was beaten by his senior brother, Li Deyi didn't feel much uncomfortable, scratched his head, organized his language, and continued: "Senior brother, what I mean is that you don't have to worry about occupying the remaining three counties for the time being. I think we might as well expand directly to the north, first get some grasslands, build a horse farm to raise horses, and drum up the cavalry. Besides, even if we occupy the remaining three counties, we don't have too much land, more food, and more foot soldiers. Besides, in the current situation, even if we have so much land, in a short period of time, we really can't find so many farmers to plant. If we can get a piece of grassland first, then we can open up the horse breeding, and a few people can graze hundreds of horses. Moreover, with the grassland to raise horses, there is no need to feed forage for three seasons a year, but a lot of manpower and material resources can be saved. At that time, with cavalry, the strength of our Weibei battalion will be raised to a higher level. At that time, the war will not be like now, all pointing at the infantry and fighting hard. ”

Medical Officer Xiao Liu was obviously stunned by his junior brother's words. In fact, Medical Officer Xiao Liu and Medical Officer Sun Lao have fallen into a misunderstanding, the people of the time pay attention to the people's food as the sky, and generally regard the number of fields as the first priority, which is not wrong in itself. The problem that Weibeiying is facing now is that there is enough land, but it cannot recruit enough farmers to farm. The Weibei battalion implements the rules and regulations handed down by Marshal Di that year, and the soldiers are all professional and completely out of production. That is, the regular soldiers of the Weibei battalion are only responsible for training and fighting, and nothing else is involved. The veteran knew a lot of skills before, but he had no way to learn it in order to struggle to survive.

Therefore, it is more difficult for the Weibei battalion to expand the army now, because once the army is expanded by 10,000, it will be 10,000 more full-time soldiers, and at the same time, there will be 10,000 fewer middle-aged men in the middle of the land. All in all, even if Weibei Camp now occupies the entire six counties of Zong'an Province and all the fields, it will not be able to find enough farmers to cultivate it. There is no way, in recent years, the people of Shanghe Province have been slaughtered by the Tuliao people twice in the grass valley, and the entire Shanghe Province is well preserved in this small county of Dingbei in the northwest. All other counties and prefectures were taken captive by the Tuliao people, and all grain, goods, and population were swept away.

Therefore, from the current point of view, even if the Weibei Battalion expands its territory to the entire Zong'an Mansion, it will not play a role in the development of the Weibei Battalion in the next three or four years for the time being, but will be forced to disperse its troops because the territory is too wide, which is not conducive to defense, but will be dragged down.

This problem has always been there, but everyone is accustomed to expansion, where food is considered in advance, more land is occupied first, and growing food to fill the stomach is the first priority. That's why they all fell into a blind spot and didn't notice this problem.

But Li Deyi is different, he has never farmed since he was a child, and after his father died, he directly rented a few acres of his land to Uncle Liu next door, and he relied on the annual rent to live without hunger. So in Li Deyi's mind, the field is not so important. Therefore, when he encountered this problem, Li Deyi easily crossed the hurdle of the field and set his sights on the grassland in the north.

After listening to his junior brother's words, Medical Officer Xiao Liu also showed solemnity on his face, took a piece of paper casually, carefully wrote down what his junior brother said about this on the paper, and then folded it and carefully put it away close to his body, preparing to take it out and discuss the matter with the master seriously after the battle. This can't be justified by the fact that Doctor Liu is not cautious, it is really too important for the junior brother to say casually. If we can really rebuild a cavalry, not more, only 1,000 cavalry, the combat strength of the Weibei battalion can be raised to a higher level, and the current difficult situation of being overstretched can be completely extricated.

Li Wudi next to him was also stupid, he only knew that Li Deyi had a lot of ideas when he started a fight, but he really didn't expect him to have this kind of insight. I secretly sighed in my heart that I still underestimated him before. In fact, even Li Deyi didn't know that what he said was actually unconsciously affected by some vague memory fragments in the sea of knowledge. As soon as Li De saw that the sea was broken, some memory fragments would be revealed from those cracks from time to time. Li Deyi regarded these fragments as pictures appearing in the sea of knowledge, but he didn't know that these memory fragments that stayed in the sea of knowledge were also affecting his words and deeds.

After discussing tactics with his senior brother, Li Deyi went back to the camp tent to rest. Early the next morning, Medical Officer Xiao Liu set off with 2,000 foot soldiers. Yesterday, Li Deyi told his senior brother that he had been harassing Guo Wuchang's army for the past two days, which made them very tired. After hearing this, Medical Officer Xiao Liu immediately decided that Guo Wuchang could not be given a chance to breathe, and he could no longer hold on to the same place, but he must immediately take the initiative to attack, and take advantage of the fact that Guo Wuchang's army had not yet eased up and preemptively engage him.

In fact, this is also a helpless move, then Guo Wuchang brought more than 4,000 cavalry this time, and the Weibei battalion is purely infantry, and they are all new recruits who have just entered the battlefield. If he didn't seize all the favorable conditions to fight with him, Weibei Ying might not really be Guo Wuchang's opponent. However, the Weibei battalion is not without advantages, and when necessary, the Weibei battalion can put Wang Zhuangbiao, Xiao Liu, Li Deyi, and Li Wushu together to behead the Jin army.

Although Guo Wuchang's subordinates have the great achievements of the magnificent realm and the generals of the five general realms, they all lead an army alone and are responsible for the heavy task of commanding the army. In this case, it is difficult for them to stop the beheading operation of the Weibei battalion alone. As for saying that they are surrounded by heavy troops, that is not a problem at all for the Weibei battalion. At that time, the Weibei battalion could successfully behead their big chief among the 20,000 elite cavalry of the Mughal tribe. Now how are these 10,000 people and horses of Guo Wuchang compared to the 20,000 elite Mengwu cavalry? Even directly beheading Guo Wuchang is not impossible, although according to the current information, Guo Wuchang's original qi cultivation is also a complete achievement, and he can be repaired in one step.

After Li Deyi picked up this camp, he then set off with the army, and as for the wounded soldiers, they regarded this camp as a wounded barracks, staying here to recuperate from their wounds, and also served as a garrison. Medical Officer Xiao Liu took the 2,000 soldiers first, and the 5,000 soldiers behind him were handed over to President Li to lead and move forward slowly.

When it got dark, the two groups of people gathered together again. The next day, they continued to march like this, until the third day, when the scouts came to report that Guo Wuchang's army was only one day's journey from the Weibei camp. Medical Officer Xiao Liu called his junior brother to the camp and told him the news.

Li Deyi opened his mouth and asked, "Senior brother, what do you mean now?" Doctor Xiao Liu took turns tapping the table with five fingers, forming a strange rhythm, groaning for a while, and said: "This Guo Wuchang has suffered a lot of losses in our hands one after another, and he must be annoyed and abnormal. According to the report from the scout, he has been urging the soldiers to hurry for days in the past few days, hoping to use the advantage of the strength in his hands to defeat us in one fell swoop while our troops are inferior, and save a lot of nights. ”

Li Deyi had a smile on his face, and said beautifully: "He is like this, which is exactly what we want." Doctor Xiao Liu shook his head: "Don't be too happy, Guo Wuchang is a famous general, and he is also a first-class general under Emperor Shimaizhou there." Although he has suffered losses in our hands one after another, it is just that he has never encountered our style of play, and his generals were defeated by us for a moment of carelessness. This time, Guo Wuchang personally led the troops to come, and there were no vain soldiers under the fame, I am afraid it will not be so easy to deal with. ”

Li De glanced at the beads and turned, and said, "Senior brother, otherwise." Wait until tomorrow I will take a thousand people to try Guo Wuchang's quality, what do you think? Dr. Liu shook his head and said, "It's not proper, it's inappropriate." Tomorrow's battle is the first confrontation between the two armies, and it is very important. It is a battle that will lead to victory, and we must strive to win it with all our might. If we lose, I am afraid that the morale of our recruits will not be able to bear it. Hey, to put it mildly, these recruits still have less experience in the battle formation, and in a hurry, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand up to the beams. ”

Li De nodded, "Yes, that Guo Wuchang's men and horses are all elites who have survived a hundred battles, and they have been fighting in the east and west for the past few years, and they are not something that we soldiers who have just entered the battle can deal with." After saying that, the brothers and sisters frowned together and fell into deep thought. After a long while, Doctor Xiao Liu said in a deep voice: "I think about it, there is still a way to play, maybe we can have a slight chance of winning tomorrow's battle." Li Deyi hurriedly asked, "What is the way to play?" Senior brother, hurry up and tell me about it! Doctor Liu called his junior brother closer and spoke in a low voice. Li Deyi nodded again and again when he heard this, and finally slapped the table, "Senior brother, I'll do it tomorrow!" ”

The next day, the Weibei battalion did not move, and was busy cleaning up the camp throughout noon, digging deep trenches, cutting down trees, building wooden fences, and repelling horses. After eating, a large earthy yellow flag suddenly appeared on the horizon, with a huge word 'Jin' written on it, and then a big flag behind it was a word "Guo".

Doctor Xiao Liu stood on the watchtower and saw clearly, turned to Li Deyi below and shouted: "Guo Wuchang is here, order the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance!" Go and select three thousand strong men and prepare to engage them in the afternoon. ”

"Yes!" Li Deyi took the order and left. Doctor Xiao Liu came down from the watchtower, personally summoned Li Wuving, Wang Zhuangbiao, and gave them detailed instructions. At the end, Wang Zhuangbiao patted his huge round belly and laughed: "Wowhahaha...... The Sprinkle family is worried that he didn't have a hook last time, and this Guo Wuchang rushed to die again, this time the Sprinkle family will definitely let him have no return! Wowha......"

Li Wudi is still the arrogant appearance of the son of a family who is not convinced by anyone, but as soon as Wang Zhuangbiao spoke at this time, he actually rarely echoed: "Exactly." ”

Doctor Xiao Liu glanced at his brother-in-law in surprise, and said worriedly: "You like to learn skills from Wang Da Fat, brother-in-law, and I won't stop you, but you have to remember, don't learn to eat like him in the future." ”

Li Wudi didn't know how to answer this, and Wang Zhuangbiao next to him said with a grin: "Don't worry, little doctor, although your brother-in-law has an amazing amount of food, he can't eat meat just because of his family." He has been coming to our Weibei camp for a few days, what he eats at the sprinkle family, you see, he still eats not fat. ”
