In the original Qingchuan County and now the headquarters of the First Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, division commander Luo Jingshan is analyzing the tragic battles that the cavalry division may face in the next few days with a serious face.

I don't know if I don't analyze it, and I'm shocked when I analyze it......

With the addition of a regiment of musketeers captured in the county town of Qingchuan, the number of troops he could use was more than 10,000.

However, the strength of the opponent he faced next far exceeded his own......

The thousands of elites that Zhou Shuyuan trained in the secret camp, plus the reinforcements that Zhou Shuyuan might send...... It is possible to provide reinforcements to Zhou Shuyuan at any time, and tens of thousands of new imperial troops stationed in Sichuan...... Not to mention too much, there are definitely 30,000 people.

More importantly, these 30,000 opponents are not only well-trained, but also well-equipped.

In the face of such a strong enemy, Luo Jingshan, as the commander of the First Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, no matter how arrogant and confident he was, he had to be cautious about this battle.

After confirming the size and strength of the strong enemy he might face, Luo Jingshan finally spoke under the gaze of his subordinates......

"Brothers, the opponent is not inferior to us in terms of equipment, and even surpasses us in terms of artillery...... After all, for the convenience of the march, we only brought mortars. And our opponents, whether they are the new army of the imperial court or the fifth army, are armed with heavy artillery......"

"In addition, the enemy's strength is several times that of ours, if we stick to the county seat and fight with the enemy, even if we have tens of thousands of people, we can't fight them......"

"So, I decided to find a way to take the initiative a few times before the main forces of the enemy attacked. Give the enemy a break. Consume as much as possible the opponent's forces that may be attacking the city......"

"Also. Even if we were forced to the end, we had to defend the city...... The line of defense cannot be set up on bare walls unless absolutely necessary...... Everyone is a veteran, and they all know that when the other side has a large number of artillery for artillery support, holding on to the bare city wall is no different from sending them to death......"

As soon as Luo Jingshan's words were finished, there was a sound of hurried footsteps. There was a knock right outside the door.

Then, the commander of the division's scout battalion rushed into the room with an anxious face.

In the face of everyone's gaze at him, the battalion commander didn't care about any false courtesy, and said directly: "Division commander, regiment commander, emergency military ......."

"The officer in charge of the reconnaissance of my scout battalion has just returned to report that the cavalry of two regiments of the enemy army is rapidly attacking us...... Now, the officers of a company of the scout battalion. Relying on the terrain to loot step by step, slowing down the opponent's marching speed......"

"Still. Even so, at the latest, the cavalry of the enemy's two regiments will return to the city, and the division commander will be asked to prepare early......"

As soon as the scout battalion commander's words were finished, Luo Jingshan's eyes quickly shot out two rays of fine light.

However, before he could speak, Zhang Wenwu, a group of Zhang Wenwu who attacked the city all the way and took the county seat of Qingchuan, was like a hungry wolf that smelled blood, and subconsciously shouted.

"Division commander, you were still talking about taking the initiative to attack, and the enemy has brought the target of our initiative to the mouth...... The last general asked the division commander for battle, and my regiment took the initiative to attack and eat the cavalry of these two regiments......

After the head of the first regiment finished speaking, the other two regiment commanders quit......

So, in order to snatch this piece of fat, the three regiment leaders argued directly in front of Luo Jingshan.

After nodding a little that was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, Luo Jingshan directly interrupted: "Okay, although there are not many enemies, after all, there are two regiments of troops, and you can have confidence, but you must not underestimate the enemy......"

"I decided to transfer two or three regiments, plus two heavy mortar companies, to attack immediately, under the command of the chief of staff, choose the battlefield by yourself, and eat the cavalry of these two regiments......"

"A few of you remember that the cavalry of these two regiments is now the enemy...... However, there must be many people who don't really follow Zhou Shuyuan. In battle, for the ordinary officers and men of the two cavalry regiments, they can be captured......"

"Captain Wen, your group will not be idle, although you can't eat meat, but the task is still very heavy, and it is very important......

"Within twelve hours, whatever method you may use, organize the local garrisons and prisoners who follow us along the way, and build three chests and three trenches outside the city...... Once the battle begins, we can block the enemy with trenches and chests, and we resolutely do not use the bare walls......"

A company of the cavalry division's scout battalion volleyed along the way, although it did not inflict many casualties on the two cavalry regiments.

However, attacks all the time and everywhere definitely had a huge impact on the morale of more than 4,000 cavalry of the two regiments.

From the speed of their march at this moment, which is not even as good as the infantry, it can be seen that the morale of the two regiments has been reduced to the lowest point.

The chief of staff who got the situation knew that in the case of low morale of the opponent, if they were to know the news that they were being used, then the cavalry of these morale enemy troops was likely to mutini directly on the battlefield.

Therefore, the chief of staff of the 1st Cavalry Division who led the team did not hide the cavalry under his command as usual, give the enemy a surprise blow, and disrupt the enemy's cavalry formation at one time.

Instead, the two regiments formed two huge cavalry phalanxes, blocked the official road, and quietly waited for the arrival of the opponent.

Of course, in order to further disintegrate the opponent's military morale, all the banners in the army that can express their identity as the Tiger and Leopard Army have also been planted by the chief of staff, and they are directly planted in front of the cavalry phalanx. Even with a gap of hundreds of paces, you can clearly see these banners, and the specific identity of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army behind the banners......

Sure enough, the enemy's two demoralized cavalry regiments finally arrived at the battlefield, and after setting up the same cavalry charging formation, a stitch of turmoil occurred directly in the middle of the military formation......

Because, they all clearly saw that the banner of the First Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army was the same as their own.

In this way, the opponent he wants to attack is not the new army of the imperial court as the officer said, but the tiger and leopard army......

However, since everyone is a tiger and leopard army, why do they attack each other......

In the face of all kinds of voices in the military formation, officers at all levels did not achieve very good results despite their best efforts to suppress them. After all, the flag tree of the 1st Cavalry Division was there, and everyone would rather believe their own eyes than what the officers said.

Besides, even if they were instigated by the officers around them, they decided to follow Zhou Shuyuan to the end.

However, when they saw the banner of the 1st Cavalry Division, the courage and audacity in their hearts immediately disappeared......

In the eyes of these cavalrymen, the 1st Cavalry Division was a god-like existence among all the cavalry, and it had never lost a battle. Isn't fighting such an army a self-defeating one? (To be continued......)
