Chapter 827: Small Moves

Two days have passed, and the 30,000 elite of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which has already garrisoned beyond the mountains, still have not shown the slightest sign of sending troops.

Not only that, these 30,000 elite tigers and leopards were directly in the open space outside the mountain, using almost inexhaustible logs around the area, to build camps on a large scale, posing as a posture of being stationed here for a long time.

No, in less than two times, a camp fence that was more than one tall and composed entirely of logs was formed around the barracks.

From a distance, the camp in front of the soldiers outside of the fever is no longer a military camp, but is developing towards the county seat step by step.

As soon as the fence around the camp was built, 30,000 soldiers began to build barracks and even a training ground in the camp......

Looking at the barracks that had slowly taken shape in front of him, although he knew that the wooden barracks would be warmer to live in than the tents. However, the faces of several division commanders in the army did not show the slightest smile of satisfaction because of this.

In their opinion, the purpose of sending troops to Houjin this time is to kill the Tartars and destroy Houjin.

And in front of him, Wang Feng's order to build a camp on a large scale was of certain benefit to the encirclement and suppression of the Houjin army. However, this benefit is limited to the fact that the soldiers under his command can live better during the battle, and the morale of the soldiers will be even higher when fighting the Tartars.

So, in their eyes, this order can be called completely dispensable. After all, when they set out on the expedition, they had already carried enough tents to avoid non-combat attrition due to the cold, which would weaken the morale of the soldiers.

After spending two days in a row in this relaxed atmosphere of building barracks, several division commanders could no longer hold back the anxiety in their hearts.

Directly broke into the tent where Wang Feng was. I want to ask Wang Feng. What exactly did he think as a military commander......

Since the purpose of this expedition to Houjin is to have a decisive battle with the Houjin army. So, why has two days passed, and the army commander has not sent any scouts to enter the mountains and find out the specific location of the main force of the Houjin army.

If even the main force of the Houjin Army is not found, then there is no way to talk about the so-called decisive battle, which is a fact that people with a little military common sense are well aware of.

So, just entered the tent where Wang Feng was. Luo Jingshan, the commander of the cavalry division who took the lead, opened his mouth and asked: "Commander, it's been two days, and we have been building a camp here...... Could it be that we are really engaged in a long military confrontation with the Houjin army here, as rumored by the soldiers outside......"

Wang Feng smiled and didn't answer immediately, but asked thoughtfully: "The Tartar is hidden in the mountain in front of us, which can be described as a divine dragon seeing the head but not the tail...... What do you think we should do ......?"

Under Wang Feng's gaze, Luo Jingshan did not hesitate, and immediately said the idea of sending scouts to investigate in his heart......

What disappointed Luo Jingshan was that he had just finished speaking. Wang Feng shook his head very decisively and vetoed: "No, don't forget." There were seventy or eighty thousand Houjin troops hidden in the mountain in front of them. Coupled with the cover of the dense forest, the mountain in front of you may be used as a battlefield by the Houjin army everywhere......"

"Dispatching scout troops into the mountains to reconnoitre, that is not to find out the specific location of the main force of the Houjin Army, it is to send ...... to death"

"I'm sure that scouts who go into the mountains to scout will fall into the full set of Tartars as long as they go deep into the mountains...... Don't forget, the mountain in front of you, where the Tartars have lived since childhood, and they are very familiar with them...... And we, for this mountain, are in the dark, and we don't know anything......"

"In such a situation, sending scouts into the mountain, doesn't that send the brothers to death......

After Wang Feng finished speaking, the division commanders who followed behind Luo Jingshan immediately closed their mouths and swallowed back the words they were about to say.

Because, what Wang Feng said is the truth...... Not only will their impulsiveness do not do the final battle any good, but will also kill many scouts as a result......

And just when the eagerness on everyone's faces became more and more dignified because of Wang Feng's words.

Luo Jingshan spoke again: "Commander, if you don't send scouts into the mountain, there will be no way to find the main force of the Houjin army, and there will be no way to have a decisive battle with the Houjin...... Could it be that we are just defending the barracks like this, staring at the Houjin army and taking the initiative to fight a decisive battle with us......" "But, as far as I know, a few months ago, the grain that the Houjin Tartars snatched from us in Liaodong was enough for them to use for a day...... As long as the Tartar is willing, it is possible that he will not come out for half a year, or even a year...... In this case, we are too passive to stay in the camp...... Moreover, coupled with the extra horses and horses in the troops, our grain and grass reserves are not as good as those of the Tartars......"

"At that time, maybe we haven't waited until Houjin has to withdraw from the mountains, and we will have to withdraw because of the lack of food......"

After Luo Jingshan finished speaking, he stared at Wang Feng with a pair of eyes, waiting for Wang Feng to answer.

At the same time, several other division commanders also focused their eyes on Wang Feng, waiting for Wang Feng to answer......

This time, Wang Feng did not disappoint them, nodded and affirmed: "Yes, I asked the soldiers to build a camp here, just with the idea of fighting against the Tartars for a long time." ”

"Of course, this idea was not something I came up with, but a suggestion from the prince to me......"

"However, confrontation is confrontation, and we cannot be completely in a passive state of beating during the whole process. Just like what Division Commander Luo said, if the confrontation continues, without replenishment, our First Army's limited grain and grass reserves will definitely not be able to fight the Tartars......"

"Therefore, before leaving, the prince gave me a lot of small means, so that we could force the main force of the Houjin army, and we had to go out of the mountains in advance and have a decisive battle with us......

Wang Feng's flowers were like a stimulant, which stimulated the faces of several division commanders, and they immediately became hot.

Several pairs of eyes continued to stare at Wang Feng, waiting for Wang Feng to follow, for fear of missing every word Wang Feng said......

Without letting them wait too long, Wang Feng opened his mouth to explain: "As for these small actions, now I can tell you some of them, and let you know ...... in your hearts."

"What is certain is that most of these small actions are aimed at the ordinary people of the Houjin, not the main force of the Houjin army......"

"Compared with dealing with the main force of the Houjin army in the mountains, which is very good at fighting at close range, it will obviously be easier to deal with the ordinary people who are ...... them."

"For the post-Jin Huang Taiji, the army is important, and the ordinary people of the post-Jin are also very important. Once he loses his people, no matter how many troops he has, it will be fake...... It won't be long before these armies, which have lost their families and logistical supplies, will automatically collapse without us attacking...... Therefore, the first stage of this decisive battle is not to fight, but to find a way to break the root of Houjin Huang Taiji, and the fat whole Houjin has become a nominal ......"
