After a sunset is Beihai Prefecture in May, the temperature has gradually risen, and the scorching heat at noon is no longer inferior to the Central Plains. Although this area is a pasture, the desertification is not as serious as that of later generations, but under the bright sunlight, the heat rises from the ground overgrown with weeds, and the heat is really terrifying.

Chagan Lake, a small lake, is far from reaching the point of affecting the temperature, let alone this flat land ten miles away.

The weather was really hot, Shen Yun sat on the high bucket, it was even hotter, sweat fell down his forehead, and the wounds on his left arm and thigh seemed to feel a little itchy because of the sweat, but Shen Yun didn't care about it at all, he still craned his neck to look into the distance, and asked from time to time: "How is it?" How's it going? ”

This is the camp of the Special Section, just west of the Legion's main camp. Today is the day of the invitation to fight with the Yue people, and their special edition department has now become a sweet and sweet, and this kind of life-and-death decisive battle scene is naturally not their turn. However, this did not affect their focus on this crucial battle.

Originally used for lookout and surveillance, Diao Dou could only accommodate two or three people, but now it has been squeezed out of ten. Zhong Lisi's eyes were good, he looked ahead and muttered: "It's dusty, it looks like it's going to fight!" ”

Zhao Xin said: "Not necessarily, the dust is estimated to be the formation of the two parties moving." ”

Generally speaking, there would be four fights in the camp of a department, but now these four fights are crowded with people. That's not all, under Diao Dou, it was also full of fully armed cadet soldiers of the Special Formation Department wearing armor and armor.

Pang Tong was so fat, he wanted to squeeze into Diao Dou at first, but he was coaxed down by everyone, and now he is standing below, leaning his neck and yelling: "Hey, brothers." What's going on? You guys are looking at it above, can you give me a report, is it a win or a loss in the front? ”

Zhong Lisi stood on it and shouted, "If you want to know whether you win or lose, don't you just listen to the drums...... Do you think it's nice to stand on top of this? His grandfather's, except for the dust, is the bright sun, look at a hairball. ”

Fang Cheng stood below on crutches, and said with a smile: "Then you still squeeze up, you still want to see things ten miles away without clairvoyance?" ”

Clairvoyance, i.e. monoculars! The monoculars were developed during the time of the Holy Ancestors. Of course. The monoculars are not filled with glass, but with crystal crystals with high transparency.

During the era of the Holy Ancestor, there were frequent wars, although as a time-traveler, the Holy Ancestor borrowed a lot of modern systems and transformed the thinking of the contemporary Han people. It has also changed the pattern of the whole world, but in terms of specific technology. But he didn't do much.

He knows how glass works. But it can't be made. Just like he knew that steel, gunpowder, and even radios and satellites were limited by the level of science and technology, even if they were as expensive as the emperor, he could not invent them. What's more, it is precisely because he is an emperor and a promising king. There are so many things to deal with every day, and I don't even have time to eat, so how can I have time to engage in inventions, research and creation? It's good to be able to give a general direction and ideas.

Even so, there were countless imperial historians who advised the emperor not to "indulge in frolic" in his recitals—in their opinion, as emperors, they did not deal with complicated court affairs. Instead, I went to the Ministry of Industry all day long, and I don't know what the so-called invention is not "playful"? Taking 10,000 steps back, the Han Empire at that time was far superior to the whole world in terms of military, culture, science and technology, and economy, and there was indeed no need to invent things that were too forward-of-the-envelope, of course, the most important thing was that he didn't understand.

It can be seen that traveling to become an emperor and catching up with such a chaotic era is indeed not as easy as written in the novel.

To get back to the point, the monocular is the only thing that Shen Yun has ever seen brought by the Holy Ancestor, a time-traveling senior, and can really feel the difference of the times. However, crystals are already scarce, transparent and colorless, and there are even fewer impurities. The collection of 500 years of the Han Empire has only produced more than 6,000. After the Roman Empire learned about the production method of monoculars 400 years ago, it also actively copied it, and there were decades when the Roman Empire did not hesitate to wage war in order to rob Africa of crystal resources, and tens of thousands of casualties were killed and wounded. It is said that the number of clairvoyants in Rome today far exceeds that of the Han Dynasty. Of course, the exact number of clairvoyants is the highest level of military secret, and Rome will not know the exact number of the Great Han, and it is equally difficult for the Great Han to find out the exact number.

As a weapon for marching and fighting, the clairvoyant is of course only possessed by high-ranking generals when they go on an expedition. Although the Privy Council had long known that a team of ranger scouts with a clairvoyant would be more effective than a general holding it, this kind of thing was so precious that it was unreliable to let a ranger scout who could die at any time hold it.

The entire Third Legion is only ten clairvoyants. Now there is one in the hands of Xu Dong in the special editing department. On the Diao Fight on the other side of the camp, Baili Shu and Xu Dong both stood on the Diao Dou, and Xu Dong looked into the distance from time to time with clairvoyance.

The sun was dazzling, the heat was steaming, and Baili Shu couldn't help but loosen his neck band, but he couldn't help but dare not take off his armor like Xu Dong.

Fortunately, the Han army had already been prepared, and the equipment at this time was wearing a cooler silk lining in addition to the fixed armor, otherwise fighting in such a hot weather, there would be a lot of heat stroke without fighting.

Xu Dong put down his clairvoyance, looked at Baili Shu, and said with a smile: "The weather is so hot, Brother Zhongxian takes off his armor." Isn't it cool to be like me? ”

Baili Shu smiled awkwardly, the sweat on the mustache was about to flow into a river, but he shook his head and said: "No, the military situation is urgent, in case the front is not supported, my generation of soldiers must immediately raise their knives and go into battle!" ”

Xu Dong smiled, handed over the clairvoyance to Baili Shu, and said, "Brother Zhongxian is also experienced in a hundred battles, how to say this layman's word." This is only the first day of the battle between the two armies, and the third town of the former division cooperates with the first town of the middle division, even if it is not victorious, it will be difficult to lose so quickly. ”

Baili Shu looked at the soldiers who were heavily armed and ready to fight at any time, but they were sitting in the shade chatting and farting in twos and threes, and sighed: "How difficult the war is, it is helpless to issue a first-level preparation order...... According to Brother Guoliang's view, when will this battle be ripe? ”

After yesterday's meeting, Hou Jian specially left Xu Dong behind and had a secret conversation with Bailishu and others for a long time. He is also a staff officer. Xu Dong and Baili Shu hit it off at first sight. In particular, Xu Dong's words almost accurately guessed the previous discussion between Hou Jian and Baili Shu, and he was immediately cited as a confidant.

It is true that Hou Jian really did not plan to really fight the Yue people. Of course, the invitation to battle is not to pull all the troops out in one breath and arrange the troops to finish the battle, but step by step, depending on the situation.

From the legion camp to the flat land ten miles away, there are several undulating mountain packs in the middle, and a few small forests within a radius of one mile. But it is absolutely impossible to start a big battle with an army of more than 100,000 people on both sides of the enemy and us in one go. This is destined to be impossible to solve this invitation battle at once, and it must be a round war that lasts for several days. The Yueshi people were also prepared that the Han army would take the opportunity to break through, so although there were many troops sent for the first time, more than 10,000 people, they did not put all their troops into the decisive battle. Instead, they slowly moved closer to the Han army and shortened the mobilization distance when they were surrounded on three sides.

Today, the closest to the Han army garrison is in the southeast. The two barracks were less than 200 paces apart. The cavalry could reach with a single charge. The farthest was to the west, and the two armies were separated by fifteen miles. And the south is not far away, about ten miles.

The rear division has been disabled, but fortunately, the defense line of the camp has shrunk, and the rear division has its back to Chagan Lake, and the defensive surface is no longer as wide as before. At the same time, the defense line of the camp was well arranged, but it was not that the people of the Yue clan rushed to the camp in one go.

The Yueshi people also saw the defensive ability of the Han army after the group, so they hoped to confine the battlefield to one place and then squeeze forward. Divide the troops and put them in, and then decide the winner or loser in a battle - in this sense, in fact, it is inevitable to invite the battle or not.

After listening to Baili Shu's words, Xu Dong sighed and said, "The time that the palace marshal wants, I'm afraid it won't come so soon." We carry so much baggage and supplies, unless the marshal is willing to give the power to dispose of the battle to the palace marshal, we can only hold on to this place. And according to the offensive and troop distribution of the Yue people, the palace marshal wants to break through the siege in the opposite way, and I am afraid that we will have to reduce the number of troops by 30%! ”

The sweat on Bailishu's face was even more.

Thirty percent, that is, about 7,000 more dead and wounded. Only another 7,000 casualties can be exchanged for a chance for the Yueshi people to loosen...... This judgment made Bai Lishu, an old staff officer who had always only pointed out the country on the sand table, a little frightened.

"Brother Guoliang, you also know what the palace marshal means, if our army wants to break through, it must not go north and south, and there are only two directions that can be taken: east and west. We had planned to break through to the east for most of the part, but we went the other way, passing through the Orkhon Valley to the east, crossing the Gobi Desert to Kulen; The other went west and arrived at Feiyun Castle to hold on. But you said that you would reduce the number of employees by 30 percent...... This, you also know that our army is not a wartime formation, and if this continues, what is the difference between the Third Army and being defeated? Baili Shu sighed.

In fact, this question was raised once yesterday.

The Han military system is divided into peacetime and wartime. In peacetime, a legion is about 25,000 men, but in wartime it will be expanded to 36,000 or 45,000 men!

This is also learned from the modern military system. It is one of the reforms of the Holy Ancestors. However, it is clear that the commanders of the Han army after the Holy Ancestor did not fully understand the true meaning of the system of the Holy Ancestor. In addition, the Han army was so powerful and invincible that in wartime, the establishment of a legion was still carried out in accordance with the peacetime military system.

Hou Jian's situation at this moment is enough to explain why there will be peacetime and wartime establishments in the Holy Ancestor's restructuring - if the Third Legion is a wartime legion with a full nuclear strength and is reorganized from a pure cavalry legion to a mixed cavalry and infantry corps, the full strength should reach about 50,000 people, so why be afraid of a mere 100,000 Yue Clan rebels?

Xu Dong said: "The palace marshal's concern is good, if you follow the suggestions below, the third army can break through in the end with no more than 10,000 people, which is indeed no different from being defeated." But at least our Third Army Corps is preserved, and it can go around the flank, and the enemy must take care of us if he wants to encircle our northern frontier front. Then their encirclement is not complete...... Brother Zhongxian, there is no woman's kindness on the battlefield, we are decisive, we lose in battle, but win in strategy! ”

Xu Dong's words were sonorous and powerful, which shocked Bailishu's heart, and then raised his clairvoyance, silently observing the front, and was silent for a long time. (To be continued......)
