At the beginning of the day, Shen Yun didn't need any military reports to make a judgment.

It was definitely a planned and premeditated all-out offensive against the Third Army. The number of enemies is difficult to determine for the time being, but it is certain that there are more than the 3rd Army. Because they attacked the garrison of the 3rd Army from three directions, from six locations at the same time.

The first wave of the offensive began at the third hour of Yin, and in an instant, it broke through the three camps and set fire to them, intending to disrupt the layout of the entire camp. However, at this time, a short and powerful military horn sounded from the direction of the battalion, which had not moved: one long and one short, the order to hold on!

As soon as the battalion's trumpet sounded, other camps also sounded their trumpets in response. This was one of the means of communication of the Han army. Hou Jian, the commander of the battalion, has already issued an order to hold all the battalions on the spot and not to support. At this time, it is still pitch black, and blind support will only make the entire army lose control. From this point of view, Hou Jian deserves to be the general of a hundred battles, and he made the most correct response in the fastest time. It was this order that allowed the Third Army to survive the most difficult quarter of an hour!

At the beginning of the day, the sky turned white, and the sky finally brightened. But at this moment, the entire Third Army was already in the middle of smoke. Judging by the sound of drums, bugles, and flags, one-third of the hundreds of battalions of the Third Army have been destroyed.

Only then did Shen Yun see the full picture of the enemy army at the gate of his camp. The cavalry, all of which numbered as many as a thousand, were densely spread out in the open space at the entrance of the camp. They were four hundred paces from the camp, staring at this side.

"They are very smart, after the first attack failed, they waited for us to go to the other camps, and once they did, they would attack again." Zhao Xin took a bite of dry food and said in a deep voice.

The first company gathered together, and the order given by the fifth company was to hold on. The first company was in charge of the camp gate.

Fang Cheng nodded: "Yes, they have at least a thousand horsemen, we only have a group of men and horses here, and the number of cavalry is only four hundred. ”

Pang Tong was scared and cried for a while last night, but then he was the most powerful one in battle, maybe he wanted to make up for the guilt of abandoning Luo Shun last night, or maybe he felt ashamed, in short, in the later camp gate defense. In just one minute, he alone shot ten arrows and killed four enemies, which was considered a powerful battle! His eyes were red, staring at the enemies outside. Gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, they're all traitors." Out of the camp field battle. We may not be afraid of them! ”

When Shen Yun saw his appearance, he couldn't bear to blame, and sighed: "The key now is not whether the field battle can be won, but that people have taken the initiative, but we can only shrink back and defend." The cavalry was scattered among the various songs by the commanders, if they could be gathered. It's not necessarily afraid of these turtle grandchildren! ”

The crowd sighed in unison and said no more.

At three o'clock, the sky was bright, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing in the entire garrison of the Third Army finally stopped for a while. It seems that the enemy army has been attacking for an hour and is finally a little tired. Need to take a break.

At this moment, the sound of a military horn came from the direction of the battalion: Order to assemble!

"Assemble?" Zhong Lisi jumped up from the ground, pointed in the direction of the camp, and scolded: "I/fuck, why the hell did you order the assembly at this time?" As soon as we went out, we were going to lose the camp, and the rebels chased our butts and beat us up, and they gathered a fart! No, this is chaos, Lao Tzu will not go! ”

Zhong Lisi's subordinates immediately followed suit.

Shen Yun frowned and said, "What are you yelling, didn't you listen to the assembly order of the two long voices?" This is for us to assemble in units, so that if we spread out like this, sooner or later we will be eaten by the enemy one by one. After saying that, Shen Yun also said helplessly, "But why the hell do I think it's so unrealistic to gather with that Xu Bushuai?!" ”

Zhong Lisi pouted and said, "Don't talk about you, who of us feels down-to-earth?!" ”

The crowd was silent.

At this time, Zhang Mo came in a hurry and said to Shen Yun: "The first company listened to the order to carry rations and baggage according to the standard of a thousand-mile march, and the rest was burned on the spot and must not be left for the rebels." At two o'clock, the whole song assembled in the camp tent of the commander. ”

After speaking, Zhang Mo rode a horse and rushed to the next company.

Shen Yun tiptoed to see that the third song where Zhou Hui was located in the north was not affected, and his heart was also very determined, and he hurriedly ordered to do things according to Camp Commander Zhang's instructions.

The special compilation department is encamped in the unit of songs, and the three songs are in the shape of a zigzag structure, and the camp of the department commander is in the middle of the three songs, and the distance between each camp varies from three to five miles. It is blocked by streams and mountain packs in the middle. In peacetime, these streams and mountain packs are not a problem, but now in wartime, it is not pleasant.

In the first battle in the early morning, Zheng Ying's second song in the east was hit the hardest, the camp gate was broken, and at least nearly 800 enemy troops rushed into the camp. The commander-in-chief's battalion issued another order not to allow the battalions to support each other, so after a night battle, the second song was almost completely occupied. Fortunately, Zheng Ying's reaction speed was not slow, and the whole army was an elite cadet soldier who had undergone four years of training, and after the initial chaos, he finally stabilized behind the battalion. At the beginning of the day, the enemy still could not completely occupy the entire second camp, so they retreated.

The fierce battle lasted all night, and the second song suffered the heaviest casualties, and the team of more than 1,000 people remained, with less than 400 people left! The whole three consecutive battles were gone. This is already the luckiest for the special editorial department. And in several other directions, some of them have disappeared on the edge of Lake Chargan.

Of course, at this time, Shen Yun did not know how many casualties the entire Third Army had suffered, they only knew that the commander Xu Dong had issued an assembly order, they had to burn the baggage, and then rush to the northwest six miles to join the commander battalion according to the forced marching posture.

By the way, because they are the special division and are directly under the former division of the Third Army Corps, everyone knows that the cadets of this special division are the heart and soul of Marshal Hu Gong, so the camp of the special division is twenty-five miles away from the battalion of the former division, and it is less than twenty miles away from the corps camp of the corps commander Hou Jian -- from this point of view, it is more appropriate for the special department to be directly subordinate to the corps!

Since it was already dark, the movement of Shen Yun's camp could not be kept secret from the enemy army at all. The Fifth Company was originally worried that the enemy would take the opportunity to attack, but until Quanqu withdrew from the camp, the broken Shen Yun Company slowly withdrew, and the enemy still did not attack, but just lined up in a distance to "farewell"!

As the last group to retreat, Shen Yun looked back at the enemy from time to time. Puzzled, he asked, "What the hell are they doing?" Just let us go? ”

Zhao Xin's second row walked last, and when he heard Shen Yun's words, he looked to the east and west instead, and sighed: "They may not really want to let us go, but they have to do it." You listen to the movements on the east and west sides, the sound of killing continues, I'm afraid those two places are their main attack locations, and this is just to block us from breaking through to the south. ”

Shen Yun listened carefully and said, "Then we will propose to the commander of the department to concentrate our forces to fight south." This should be where their forces are weak. ”

Zhao Xin shook his head: "Not to mention whether our commander, who has changed from a staff officer to a chief general, has the courage to make a decision, even if there is, do you think that the enemy army in the south is only the more than 1,000 horsemen we saw?" Alas, what's more, what you said before also makes sense, the Yueshi people took the initiative. I'm afraid that the main roads around Chargan Lake will be occupied by the Yueshi people, so let's rush south. They were able to calmly mobilize their armies for a siege. Without this camp, our situation would be unimaginable. ”

Shen Yun was silent.

After nearly a year of study, Shen Yun has understood that the encirclement, counter-encirclement, breakthrough, anti-breakout and other operations in the era of cold weapons are not as simple as those filmed in modern film and television works, and it seems that the commander gave an order. Everyone rushed in one direction, and then they broke out.

In fact, in the age of cold weapons, there was no clear and unambiguous means of communication. A breakthrough at night is impossible (and there is a very low chance of success in a small operation), and for a large army of more than 20,000 men, it is simply impossible to completely conceal the enemy from the enemy during the day. In the face of the encirclement of the Yue's army, it is useless to participate in the breakout with fewer teams, and if there are more, they will be discovered by the other party, so as to carry out targeted counter-breakouts.

This is the dilemma that now confronts the Third Army. Abandoning the camp undoubtedly gave the Yue clan people a chance to completely annihilate the Third Legion, and if they stuck to the camp, the Yue clan people would continue to encroach on it-didn't Shen Yun quit the camp under the order of the commander?

Now the position of the two armies is still more than twenty miles away from the battalion of the commander of the legion, and at this rate, it will only take three days for the commander of the legion to face the onslaught of the Yue's people - this is still the situation that the battalions can fully follow the instructions of the commander and hold on to it. After today's legion battalion issued the assembly order, and each song moved closer to the commander, the camp area of the Third Army Corps will be greatly reduced, but it can be regarded as a shrinking force.

"At three o'clock today, as the sun sets, the rear division of the Third Army will launch an offensive against the enemy in front of it. In accordance with this plan for the largest campaign, at the very beginning of the day, the order of our troops was to join the second town of the former division with a force of not less than 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 foot soldiers, and launch a feint attack on the enemy in front of them. ”

The commander of the camp, Xu Dong, who still had a hangover on his face, put on his helmet and armor, and gave the order of the corps commander Hou Jian to the assembled Sanqu commander: "The best goal of this battle is to defeat the enemy in front of you, advance twenty miles, and recover Chagan County." The goal of the second campaign was to contain most of the enemy in the south, so that it could not support the eastern battlefield and support the offensive of the rear division. At the same time, the offensive force must reconnoiter the number, equipment, and establishment of the enemy forces in front of them. ”

As soon as Xu Dong finished speaking, the Qu Chiefs below spoke one after another.

First of all, Zheng Ying, who suffered the most damage: "Commander, I Qu suffered more than half of the casualties in this morning's battle, can I not participate in the afternoon battle?" ”

Xu Dong nodded: "Yes." However, from now until noon, the camp gate on the south side of the camp will be borne by you. ”

"Whoa." Zheng Ying breathed a sigh of relief and took the order.

Wen Cui hurriedly said: "Ministry commander, my Qu has not yet made contact with the enemy, and in the battle of Shenshi, I Qu requests all members to participate in the battle." ”

Xu Dong thought for a while and refused: "No." The battle of Shenshi is extremely important, female soldiers are not allowed to participate in the battle, and you Qu is responsible for the rear defense of the battalion. In the battle of Shenshi, I intend to focus on the first song, supplemented by the pro-guard song. The rest of the men were guarding the camp and were ready to help. ”

Wen Cui wanted to say more, but the fifth company stepped forward and said, "Department commander, there are a few problems with my subordinates." ”

Xu Dong rubbed his eyes, which were still a little sore, and waved his hand, "Speak." Xu Dong still attaches great importance to this first song of contacting the enemy for the first time and being able to defeat the enemy, so he also has some good feelings for the fifth company, and his voice is not as stern as when he rejected Wen Cui.

The fifth company said with a cold face: "There are three subordinate problems, first, what is the offensive strength of the rear division? Second, why did only 6,000 people participate in the Battle of Shenshi? Thirdly, can the staff officers of the battalion draw up a plan for retreat? ”

Xu Dong frowned, it didn't seem that this should be a question asked by Qu Chang. But thinking about it, none of the cadets in front of him had yet graduated, so he could only explain helplessly: "The commander of the Fang Cai Corps has already explained that in the Battle of Yinshi, our Third Army suffered serious casualties, the first town of the rear division was disabled, and the second and third towns suffered more than 1,000 casualties. As for our former division, the casualties in the Battle of Yinshi totaled 1,200, and the damage was mainly concentrated in the first town of the former division and our special department, and the battle of Shenshi was also dominated by the first town, and our division was mainly responsible for reconnaissance and flank support. The retreat plan, the staff of the legion battalion is still studying, and it is inconvenient to inform it for the time being. ”

The Fifth Company frowned and said, "Commander, the Yue-Hun Coalition Army is obviously prepared, why haven't the legion scouts found out earlier?" Moreover, the subordinates wanted to know why the enemy's main direction of attack was in the east, west, and south? Did the General Staff give an answer? ”

"This ......" Xu Dong pinched his chin and thought, "The answer given by the General Staff is that the Yue-Hun coalition army should have come from the Jinshan Gobi bypass, and they have been in ambush here for a long time, it is estimated that they have had this plan since they conquered Jiankun last year, and their main attack direction is east, west and south, and it seems that they want us to retreat from the north...... Hey, there are masters in the Yue Clan's rebels! ”

Xu Dong suddenly understood something, looked at the fifth company with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and immediately got up and said: "Fifth Qu Commander, you immediately go back to deploy the battle of Shenshi, I will go to the camp again and meet the palace commander in person, if this is the case, then this should not be a simple attack plan against my third legion, but ......" Xu Dong did not dare to say any more.

As an excellent staff officer by the side of His Royal Highness Duke Hu, Xu Dong was obviously not a qualified battlefield commander, but his vision and insight were not small, and he quickly thought of a terrible possibility - this was a trap, a trap prepared for the Northern Frontier Front! To go deeper, the main strategic purpose of the Yueshi people is not in the direction of Dihua, but to place the main battlefield here, with the aim of annihilating the Northern Frontier Front! If this idea is true, then the Third Army Corps and even the entire Northern Frontier Front will not face a mere 40,000 Yue-Hun army, but hundreds of millions of Yueshi troops - damn Yueshi people, they should have been planning this since the battle of the Tarim River Valley last year, and they must have pulled all their troops north of Jinshan!

But the question is, if the Yueshi people really put a million army here, what will they eat and drink for such a long time? How are they logistically ensured? What's more, they put the army here, and Dihua really doesn't want it? Assuming that they really have the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, and abandon Dihua to annihilate the Northern Frontier Front Army, then it comes back to the old question, what gave the Yueshi people so much determination and courage?

It's a big game! A game of chess that is so big that Xu Dong will shudder when he thinks about it!

There are only two players who can participate in this game of chess! One is the emperor of the Han Empire, and the other is only the Roman emperor who dominates the West! Even His Royal Highness Duke Hu can only be regarded as a relatively important chess piece in the chessboard! As for the Third Legion, I'm afraid it's just a pawn on the edge of the Chu River and Han borders......

Lake Chargan has become a real place of four battles in this chess game! is also a living son, this son is alive globally, and if this son dies, the whole world is dead!

Xu Dong was on the way to the legion camp, and as the conjecture deepened, sweat had completely wet his back...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )

PS: I returned to my hometown for Tanabata, but I didn't expect another recommendation...... It's a real headache. I knew that I would have brought the computer back, and now I am updating the code words in the Internet café, which is really painful.

Forget it, let's not talk about that, try to write as much as possible! Well, please support us!

Happy Tanabata! Lovers, give me a ticket?
