War naturally has to be fought, but it depends on how it is fought.

Zhou Huchen is not at ease with Zhou Yuji, according to his combat philosophy, I am afraid that this father may fight out these hard-won soldiers.

"It's okay to fight, I'll be in command, and my father is in charge."

Since Jiannu is going to fight, of course Zhou Huchen can't retreat directly, which will seriously affect the morale of the army, but he can have a choice, the condition is; He must be in command of the army, not Zhou Yuji.

Do you want to be a spectator? Zhou Yuji was a little reluctant: "I'll come!" Xiaohu commanded the artillery team. ”

"It's better for me to come, with my father in charge, the soldiers will be more at ease!" Zhou Huchen continued to insist:

This is not a small operation, it is related to the lives of tens of millions of soldiers, Zhou Huchen is afraid of Zhou Yuji's combat methods, or he is more at ease.

Zhou Yuji couldn't hold on anymore, and if he still didn't agree to be commanded by Zhou Huchen, it would reduce his son's prestige among the soldiers. But the stakes are very high, Zhou Yuji still thought about it, and then relieved, anyway, there is no precedent for his son to fail in battle, and he belongs to the kind of scheming general, so he doesn't have to worry about commanding indiscriminately.

"Alright! I'll oversee the town behind the army, and Xiaohu will command it. In order to avoid embarrassing his son, Zhou Yuji agreed.

In the rain, the soldiers silently marched westward, and on the other side of the river, the Duoduo was also rushing westward. The scene feels like a race, with both sides going west and then going west, and there's a sense of going west all the time.

In terms of speed, Zhou Huchen is much faster than Jiannu, and with the advantage of distance, the soldiers will enter the battlefield in advance.

This is a damp shijie, the feet are not too wet muddy water, every step down into a deep fall, and the rain in the sky is still falling, all the soldiers are wet, and everyone can not avoid it. And for these auxiliaries. Now is the hardest time. The carts loaded with various supplies will get stuck in the mud almost all the time, and the logistics troops must be cautious and cautious, because many of the carts are loaded with the most important ammunition, which cannot be wet, because of the water everywhere, let alone overturn and let the water soak all kinds of materials.

After only a short advance, the logistics troops, which had always been extremely fast, lagged behind.

At the most difficult moment for the logistics troops, a part of the soldiers under the command of several officers turned back, and with the help of these people, the logistics troops finally began to pick up speed

But all is not a reason. There is no task that cannot be completed, this is the army trained by Zhou Huchen, and this is the concept he instilled.

In less than a day and a half, Zhou Huchen led his army to complete a difficult march of fifty miles. The place where Zhou Huchen arrived is called Gaoshan Village, this Gaoshan Village is in a good location, the north side is a river that is not too narrow, and the south side is also a river for ten miles, and then don't think about it further south or east, there are boundless reeds and swamps.

It's a ten-mile place to defend the chokepoint. But the conditions are very poor and poor; His feet were covered in mud and almost knee-high muddy water.

Zhou Huchen began to prepare, and according to custom, the soldiers began to dig trenches. Such a place is nothing but mud and water, and a trench can only be equal to a ditch. It is no longer realistic for soldiers to hide behind trenches, all that is dug out is mud, and there is no barrier at all, and not only will the mud not become a barrier. It will also cause problems for its own army. Zhou Huchen asked the soldiers to carry away all the mud that had been dug up, and he prepared an artificial river for the enemy army.

The preparations are complex and difficult, and there are still difficulties to be solved. People can insist on fighting in such an environment, but artillery cannot, there must be a place to stay, and Zhou Huchen must prepare positions for his artillery.

Without trees, you can't demolish the people's houses, in fact, there is nothing to demolish, they are all thatched houses, and there are very few bricks and stones. The only thing that Zhou Huchen can use is the reeds that Zhou Huchen can use, and do a good job for the people in the village, and these people are quickly alienated. As a result, many of Zhou Huchen's soldiers soon became peasants: they began to deal with the reeds with their war knives or with scythes borrowed from the village.

Soon, a reed-paved position spread

Duoduo was much slower than Zhou Huchen, of course, because of distance, he had to lead his army west along the river bank, and then bypass a huge lake, which was nearly twice as far as Zhou Huchen.

The conditions are almost the same, God did not take care of Duoduo at this time, and it was raining on the top of Duoduo's head, and there was no difference between his feet and Zhou Huchen's situation.

Dodor was about to bypass the great nameless lake, but one thing became his heart's disease; There's a problem with the warhorse.

The warriors of Jianzhou like war horses, they are a half-horse people, and horses are equal to the second life of these cavalry. The difference between Jiangnan and the north is now revealed, it is damp here, there is water everywhere, and the water will soak the horses' hooves, and the rain will not stop, this environment can not be avoided; The horse's hooves are rotten, and it can't be solved.

Cursing and blessings have no use for God, and the rain does not stop because of Duoduo's curses and prayers. The speed was completely gone, and now, the troops of the Duoduo were moving forward. I've been glad that I've gotten rid of the dark blue eyes of Junta who keeps taking boats, and it's not as good as the original place, and even horseback riding has become a problem.

Zhou Huchen's situation was not much better, the problem was still because of the dampness, and his cavalry and logistics troops also had a large number of livestock, which was in the same situation as Duoduo.

Just when Zhou Huchen was shaking his head and worried, a hundred households surnamed Qian in the auxiliary team came over very attractively: "Dashuai, our Jiangnan is like this, and his subordinates have a way to solve this problem." ”

"Oh, then hurry up and talk about it, this matter is very important, but it can't be delayed, if it works, this handsome will be rewarded." Zhou Huchen came to be interested:

The hundred households smiled and clasped their fists and saluted again: "Back to the handsome, it's very simple, let the war horses and other livestock wash their hooves and concentrate on the high ground in the village, where the terrain is relatively high, and the hooves of the livestock will not always be soaked in muddy water, and then dry with grass ash, two days is enough!" ”

It's aseptic therapy!

Zhou Huchen finally knew that the people of this era have the methods of this era, and the experience of the ancestors should not be underestimated!

The current combat is not practical for war horses, but war horses are valuable war resources, and there are too many places to use them in the future, and this money has undoubtedly helped Zhou Huchen a lot.

Zhou Huchen has never been a stingy person: "Okay, this method is good!" It is up to you to take charge of this matter, as long as there is no problem with the horses and livestock, after this battle, Ben Shuai will let you be a thousand households. ”

"Subordinate Xie Dashuai cultivates, subordinates will definitely not let the war horses and livestock have problems, please rest assured." Qian Baihu was excited, and his eyes lit up and he made a one-knee salute. This is considered relatively lucky, and the promotion is also praised by the marshal, and the actual benefits are obtained, and there is really a great future under this young marshal.

This buying people's hearts is applicable to every era, and Zhou Huchen waved his hand very stylishly: "Let's deal with it now!" I'm optimistic about you! ”

Qian Baihu ran away with a thousand thanks, and Zhou Huchen turned around and continued his difficult defense.

The soldiers were busy in the muddy water, and a deep, wide trench was nearing completion, and the water on both sides of the trench could be clearly seen slowly flowing into the trench.

This battle will be difficult, but in Zhou Huchen's philosophy should not fail, he needs to arrange the battlefield well, what he needs to do is to do his best to reduce the casualties of his soldiers, because the power of mortars will be reduced a lot, so Zhou Huchen must arrange a tight and suitable infantry line.
