Back in Mengla, Yang Meng took off the gems all over his body, the war was something he could predict, but the scale of the war was not what they predicted, and he didn't know what it would look like.

If the new army is reliable, everything is easy to say, if the first battle is broken, then the trouble has just begun, although the training is of great help to combat effectiveness, but the actual combat is the decisive factor of combat effectiveness, the group of courage! This is a problem that should not be underestimated.

Whether the new army can hold up or not, psychological factors are also decisive, cultural differences, determine the temperament of an ethnic group, although tens of millions of people go to me, this is just a joke, most people do not have that kind of blood.

Bloody, different from bloody, cruel and brutal, it is easy to turn people into beasts, not to mention psychological, just the clouds and smoke in Yang Meng's hands can turn the new army into a group of beasts, but this is definitely not a long-term solution, but it is definitely not an easy task to arouse the blood in the hearts of a group of people.

"Let Xu Ziwei and Ma Qinghu come to see me!"

Mengla is hot, changed into a silk robe, Yang Meng then waved away the boredom in his heart, wearing a brocade robe on a hot day, it is definitely a crime, and it will also ruin people's mood.

"Sit down! The war is going to start in the next few days, what do you all think, talk about it. ”

Negotiating with Old Jack and Keno, Yang Meng can be very relaxed, but it is really his turn to go into battle, and he is also a little uneasy in his heart.

Looking at Xu Ziwei, who had a light face, and Ma Qinghu, who was full of anxiety, Yang Meng also roughly guessed what they were thinking.

"It's all up to the third master!"

Ma Qinghu, who was somewhat impetuous when he first took power, was the first to speak, but he didn't say it, as the commander of an army. Ma Qinghu is absent from practice!

"It's just devastating! There are more than 10,000 of us. The enemy is two thousand people. Qinghu is right, it's all up to the third master to decide! ”

Seeing that Yang Meng was noncommittal, Xu Ziwei also threw out a word and tested his Dong Weng's reaction.

"This is not a matter of strategy, but to test the achievements of the new army in the past few years.

See the move! ”

After Yang Meng said this. Ma Qinghu didn't have any expression, but Xu Ziwei's brows were furrowed together, what was the war for, wasn't it to win?

Now that the new army has the advantage in numbers, it should go down with a drum, slaughter the British army on the opposite side, and see the moves, which is a bit rigid and self-serving.

Overlord Xiang Yu, Xiaoxiong Cao Cao, and Martial Saint Guan Yu. It's not that he was defeated in these four words, and now Yang Meng is here. Xu Ziwei was immediately not optimistic about the battle situation.

As a strategist of the Yang family, in addition to being familiar with history books, Xu Ziwei also learned things in Minghu Academy, and he also had a rough idea of many Western histories.

10,000 against 2,000, it looks like there is a huge advantage, but a few thousand is better than tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, Xu Ziwei has read it, the third master is treating the war as a child's play!

"See the move? The third master can't! ”

It's useless to say anything else, he Xu Ziwei relied on the wealth of the Yang family, the Yang family fell, and he had to follow the bad luck, and it was also Xu Ziwei's responsibility to dissuade Yang Meng.

"Why not? Explain it clearly! ”

Yang Meng has never participated in large-scale battles, and most of the things rely on a breath in his heart, and to say that he is nine out of ten is deceiving.

Looking for these two people, Yang Meng also wanted to listen to their opinions, although it was a temptation, but if someone tried to get to the bottom, it would be a mess.

"I am a new army, he is an elite soldier, new soldiers, elite soldiers are not the same day, the first battle of the new army, if it hurts morale, the outcome is worrying!

There are clouds in the soldiers: one is vigorous, then declines, and three is exhausted, and I am afraid that it will be ...... when I see the move."

If it is too heavy, Xu Ziwei doesn't dare to say, he knows best what kind of temperament his proprietor is, he regards the people like mustard, kills people and does not turn beads, and it is prepared for Yang Sanye, just like the word child's play, Xu Ziwei really doesn't dare to let it come out of his mouth.

Yang Meng said that the test of the combat strength of the new army, this Xu Ziwei also agreed, 10,000 against 2,000, can't the new army's combat strength be tested? Using such a method to test the new army, the third master of his own family is too ruthless.

Although Ci is not in charge of the army and is not in charge of wealth, but it is too brutal, I am afraid it is not a way to accumulate blessings, too much war damage, it will also affect the morale of the new army, the new army has become a nest of dead people, I am afraid that it will damage the foundation of the Yang family.

Yang Meng's thoughts, Xu Ziwei can roughly figure it out, but the risk of doing so is too great, if there are more than 10,000 people in Mengla, everyone is afraid of fighting, then the matter will be troublesome, in case the people on the other side are too fierce, I am afraid that a temptation in Mengla will also be a big rout!

"What are you afraid of? Let's make it clear! ”

Xu Ziwei considered a lot of things, Yang Meng also considered a lot of things, Xu Ziwei said a drum, Yang Meng also has this confidence, but this is contrary to the original intention of testing the new army.

The Keno Expeditionary Force is definitely a battle-hardened elite soldier, although I don't know the specific age of these soldiers, but judging from the beard on their faces, these people are not very young, a veteran leads two thousand veterans, this is an opportunity, and it will be difficult to meet such a good opponent.

There is an Indian army in England, and the next main opponent should be the Indian soldiers, and the native army of England will not go to the front line of Burma and India unless it is absolutely necessary.

And this temptation, Yang Meng didn't intend to let Ying Li devote himself wholeheartedly, and dragged out the Indian legion, and this battle should be almost over.

There may only be one chance to fight with the elite of England's own country, and the rest may be miscellaneous cards, and defeating the miscellaneous cards cannot test the combat strength of the new army, which will have a great impact on future decision-making.

The elite of the new army, 15,000 Hall rear loads. The gun, Yang Meng didn't use it, first, he wanted to guard against the English stealing division, and the second! It is to test the combat power of the ordinary new army, and as for the dead people, it is also normal.

Against 2,000 British troops, how many dead people can die? The starting point is different, so that Xu Yang's thinking is not on the same line at all, so let's talk about it. It was difficult for Yang Meng to get anything useful.

"I'm afraid it's a bit of a child's play. Third Master. The morale of the army can't be hurt, the foreign devils are powerful, the battle of Gengzi back then, thousands of tens of thousands, do we have a chance of winning one-on-one? ”

This is the truth, and Xu Ziwei said it in desperation, the battle of Gengzi is a hurdle that cannot be crossed. Although he had seen the strength of the new army, Xu Ziwei did not think that the new army could win one-on-one against the British army.

"Child's play? The two foreign devils on the other side of this also told me so, and I think so too, and now this matter is also forced to this part.

With ten enemies and one, we will win completely, there should not be much of a problem, we are not only superior in numbers now. In terms of the number of artillery, it is even more overwhelming, and there is no problem in taking it down in one go. But we came to southern Xinjiang this time to be tempted.

There was a sentence just now, you said to the point, whether you can win one-on-one is also a result I want to see.

Mountain monkeys are not counted, the nine thousand Blue Flag Army in the new group represents the combat power of the Yunnan New Army, and one-on-one is also the result I want the most, but this is not realistic, as long as it is within one to three, I can accept it.

If the ratio exceeds 1 to 3, there is a problem with the new army, and it is a big problem, and we are opposite an elite British army, and such a scene is rare.

In my opinion, the battle of Mengla is just a trivial matter, even if we are defeated, we can still live to defend Yunnan. The important thing is to look at the combat strength of the new army, because if the combat strength is not successful, it means that there is something wrong with the way we train our troops.

This battle is a yardstick, a yardstick to test whether our new army in Yunnan can stand firm, and we must continue to work hard if we fight well, and if we do not fight well, we must rectify the situation as a whole.

If you don't want to die now, you will die more in the future! ”

As soon as Yang Meng said this, Xu Ziwei understood his intentions, it turned out that there were so many things involved in this southern Xinjiang, and after thinking silently for a while, Xu Ziwei accepted Yang Meng's statement.

How many soldiers and horses there are in Yunnan now, Xu Ziwei is not very clear, there are about more than 100,000, if you count the people in Wuzhuang, 200,000 or 300,000 should be about the same, just like Yang Meng said, even if Mengla is defeated, it is not easy to enter Yunnan.

Xu Ziwei is not very clear about the training method of the new army, but he knows that the Taoist method is Western, and this time against the British army, it can be regarded as an apprentice to see the master, and some things still need to be guarded against.

"Third Master, since the Blue Flag Army is divided into five battalions, why don't you separate them and station them?

The terrain of Mengla is easy to defend and difficult to attack, a battalion of soldiers out of the city to prepare for battle, a battalion of soldiers to defend the city miscalculated, the third battalion of soldiers stationed in the rear of Mengla, in case of contingencies, the fourth battalion soldiers to guard the horse road into Mengla, as for the artillery battalion, scattered into the four battalions? ”

Since I am afraid of hurting morale, then separate the Blue Banner Army, after separation, the front is defeated and the rear is not known, so that the courage of the soldiers can still be stronger, even if the first battalion is defeated and lost, there is still hope for 7,000 men and horses to hold Mengla City.

Xu Ziwei only said a rough idea, and he was also afraid that Ma Qinghu, the leader of the newcomer, would lose his fighting spirit and be defeated before the battle, but he was afraid that he would lose his courage when he arrived on the battlefield.

"Huh...... Ma Qinghu, what do you think? ”

Xu Ziwei has something to say, Yang Meng can hear it, now Ma Qinghu has become the key, starting a war, Yang Meng naturally can't go to the front line at will, and he won't easily get into danger unless he has to.

"It's all up to the third master!"

Ma Qinghu said that it is a sentence, and this is also the relationship of pressure. In Tengyue Town, there is a Du Zhuan Tiger above Ma Qinghu, and he is also led by the strong men of his own clan, many things are easy to do!

But the Blue Flag Army, there are only less than 2,000 returning soldiers, and they are scattered in five battalions, many of the generals of the Blue Flag Army are all veterans of the Yang family in the past, and some are known to Ma Qinghu, and in terms of qualifications, Ma Qinghu is just a newcomer.

Once commanded the 9,000 army, it can be regarded as a small poor and rich, in addition to impetuousness, Ma Qinghu is more worried in his heart, he is afraid!

"Good! It's good to have your words, and you will lead the troops in the first battle, and you won't be defeated! Don't disperse! Undefeated! It's Lao Tzu's request, you can figure out how to do it yourself.

Qinglian's age is not young, I plan to accept her as a concubine, what do you think? ”

Ma Qinghu just said back and forth, Yang Meng could only follow along, and the last sentence mentioned Ma Qinglian was the key to the truth.

"It's all up to the third master!"

As soon as he said this, Ma Qinghu's face also had a hint of joy, although intermarriage is exquisite, but Ma Qinghu and Ma Qinglian are both people who were almost starved to death, and those rules in the clan, for Ma Qinghu, are they all like that.

If the third master accepts Qinglian, it will not only be good for Qinglian, but also good for him, Ma Qinghu also asked Qinglian in private, this little girl also followed Yang Sanye, this matter is done, and his confidence in the army is enough.

"I don't count, you have the final say! Lao Tzu's back house, which one is not powerful? It's not easy for Qinglian to squeeze in, and this time I arranged for you to be the commander of the Blue Flag Army, just for Qinglian's business.

You are an elder brother, the better you fight, the more confident Qinglian will be in the back house, if you are a coward, Qinglian can only be a girl.

The road you should take, Lao Tzu has paved it for you, but what will it become? It's up to you, if you don't fight this battle well, it's not your own business, Qinglian is implicated, you can think about her in the future! ”

Yang Meng is agitating the general, but this is also the truth, his own back house, one is counted as one, they are all married, Ma Qinglian wants to have a place in the back house, Yang Meng has the final say in the early stage, and what Ma Qinglian can be mixed into in the later stage depends on Ma Qinghu's ability.
