Chapter 115: The two battalions of Huguang that are about to attack

"Everyone is very tired of marching continuously these days, and they haven't fought against the officers and soldiers decently, so the resentment against me is getting bigger and bigger, in this case, I can't take everyone around anymore, so let's go and do a good job with the officers and soldiers led by Chen Yan, but Chen Yan brought nearly 200,000 officers and soldiers this time, obviously, we can't eat one bite, so what should we do."

Plug Xiaoyuan grinned, and the two sweet dimples were exposed, with a hint of the cuteness unique to the girl next door, but the generals of the two battalions were no longer in the mood to appreciate how good the future first lady of the Han army looked when she smiled, because they were now angry with the eldest lady, and they didn't let them fight and let them run around like rats, so that these soldiers who were born to fight bravely and ruthlessly didn't feel uncomfortable?

However, as soon as they heard that Xiao Yuan wanted them to fight Chen Yan's department, these people suddenly became active, and they were busy pondering how to take Xiao Yuan's words, and by the way, let this aunt and grandmother who had been running away with themselves take a good look, who is the real master of commanding the battle?

"Among the nearly 200,000 officers and soldiers of Chen Yan, Chen Hongfan and Fang Guoan's Ministry are stronger, among them, Chen Hongfan also defeated the thief and shot Li Zicheng in the eye, but the rest of the officers and soldiers are just temporary guards and soldiers, for Chen Hongfan and Fang Guoan's two officers and soldiers, the most careful thing should be their firearms, each battalion of these two officers and armies has a large general cannon, a number of exterminating guns, Franc machines, bird guns, three-eyed guns and other types of firearms, as well as side vans, quasi-front vehicles, baggage vehicles and other vehicles, And when they encounter a battle, they will often strike the enemy with firearms first, so even if we have a battalion of cavalry strength, we can't gnaw these two officers and soldiers, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to eat them in one bite! ”

Liu Hei is a veteran general of the Han Army, and the relationship with Plug Xiaoyuan has always been good, in the second defense battle of Hanjia Village, it was his sudden appearance that resolved the crisis of Block Xiaoyuan, but Plug Xiaoyuan has been running around with them these days, which also makes Liu Hei a little bored, he and the soldiers of his second battalion have not fought since October, if they don't see blood again, I'm afraid that they will be sick, but when they really want to fight against the enemy, he has to be cautious, He first explained the specific situation of the officers and troops led by Chen Yan and made a brief analysis.

"How can you eat, 20,000 people fight 200,000 people, unless this group of officers and soldiers are unarmed ordinary people", Tan Wen also said with disdain.

Seeing this, Bai Qian coughed and said, "Why are you so discouraged, before you start, you will first grow others to destroy your own prestige, since Miss Block has decided to attack, there must be her attention, let's listen to Miss Block's meaning first." Bai Qian was instructed by Yang Ming to follow Du Xiaoyuan to Huguang to support Xiao Yuan, and once he saw that these generals began to express their dissatisfaction, he was busy standing up and thinning the mud.

And Du Xiaoyuan was secretly blaming Yang Ming at this time, and said in her heart: "You did it on purpose, let me be a weak woman to command these arrogant soldiers, and I was sneered at along the way, and I also taught myself a lesson like an elder!" ”

However, although Gu Xiaoyuan was a little unhappy in her heart, she still forced a calm smile on the surface: "General Tan is right, you will definitely not be able to eat one bite, so what if we eat a few more bites, dozens of bites, or even hundreds of bites?" ”

"It is true that we have few people and cannot completely annihilate this huge number of officers and troops, but we can start with its logistics, that is, the transport battalion, what is logistics, everyone has taken classes in the Han family lecture martial arts hall, and I don't need to explain more, and the logistics support of the officers and troops is that there is one general and one Chinese army in the transportation battalion, more than 30 military vehicle soldiers, more than 200 miscellaneous service companies, and more than 1,500 vehicle artillery soldiers, a total of only about 2,000 people, and no more than 100 people in the car, and only 600 birds. The rest are all grain, straw, baggage and all kinds of equipment, this one transport battalion can be used by 10,000 troops for three days, and there are ten transport battalions in the official army, with a total of only 20,000 people, and most of them are old and weak. ”

When Yang Sichang supervised the army to recruit Zhang Xianzhong, he had let her father participate in the logistics coordination of the army, and with Bai Qian's help, she naturally knew the logistics system of the official army very well, so she decided to start with its logistics troops first. Moreover, Chen Yan set off in too much hurry, and almost left the transport battalion far behind, which also gave Du Xiaoyuan an opportunity to take advantage of.

"I don't know why Miss Du wants to choose the transport battalion, even if these old and weak are all killed, it will have no effect on the officers and soldiers, even if we get some baggage, it is impossible to bring it back to Kuizhou, but it also increases the load of our march, even if it can cause the lack of food for the officers and soldiers, it will only be a few days, and he Chen Yan can completely collect food on the spot."

After Tan Wen joined the Han Army, he has not been accustomed to calling the transport battalion and auxiliary miscellaneous officers logistics personnel, but he used to serve as a garrison in the official army, and he naturally understands the transport battalion.

"General Tan doesn't have to worry about it, after resting for half a day, the task of your seventh battalion is to immediately lead the cavalry of the seventh battalion to Yuzhou, this is an open field, you can use the cavalry's mobility advantage to cut off its supply line, and then your department will use the cavalry advantage to launch an attack on Chen Hongfan's army, be sure to disrupt the deployment of his military camp, so that Chen Yan mistakenly thinks that we are attacking his center, and have no time to take care of the transport battalion", Du Xiaoyuan said and turned to Liu Hei and said:

"Your second battalion will immediately go to Jianyang Town, fifty miles away from Yuzhou, and have obtained the latest information, the transportation battalion headquarters of the official army has set up a large camp there, ready to transport it to Jingmen tomorrow, and you will completely annihilate the unit within one day!"

"This young lady, my daughters are three years older than her! But there is no one in sight! She ordered Lord Zun to take care of her! Although Tan Wen was secretly sulking, as soon as the order was issued, he still set off with the cavalry of the seventh battalion in an orderly manner.

The seventh battalion is a cavalry team formed on the basis of the cavalry standard of the first battalion of the Han army, the main combat area of the Han army is now in the mountains and jungles, therefore, the main composition of the army is still foot soldiers, but Yang Ming also knows that the cavalry is the most powerful type of troops in the world, so he did not reduce the importance of cavalry construction, at the beginning, the cavalry of the Han army only can ride a horse or know some chopping skills on the horse, this is still because Lan Guanwei stayed in the border army to hastily form a cavalry, But this cavalry can only bully and bully the foot soldiers, and its combat effectiveness is not even comparable to that of the official cavalry.

However, when Tan Wen joined in, it was different, when Yang Ming learned that Tan Wen was the cavalry of Xuanfu before he was promoted to a garrison by the imperial court, he decisively transferred him from the new fifth battalion to the seventh battalion as a general, Tan Wen improved and improved the cavalry team of the Han army from various aspects such as horse selection, horse breeding, formation coordination, and rest, and now, the seventh battalion can completely compete with the cavalry in the pass except for not having rich actual combat experience.

Tan Wen deliberately wanted to show what a veteran of the battlefield who was proficient in the art of war and tactical command in front of Xiao Yuan, so even if it was a small-scale battle like attacking Chen Hongfan's camp, he also carried it out extremely seriously.

The seventh battalion only has three standards with a total of more than 3,000 people, which is nearly half less than the other battalions with at least five or six thousand people, which is related to the greater cost of cultivating a cavalry, but the powerful attack power formed by these more than 3,000 soldiers on the Jianghan Plain is ten times that of foot soldiers, and under the command of Tan Wen, these 3,000 soldiers have completely brought out the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, Yuzhou is located in the hinterland of the Jianghan Plain, which is most conducive to the impact of the cavalry, and soon, The three-standard cavalry soldiers of the seventh battalion of the Han army are like three sharp arrows from three directions straight to Yuzhou, the three-standard soldiers jump from time to time on the two horses, and the war horses that sit down are running with thousands of rolls of sand and dust.
