Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Great Horde Discusses the Enemy's Situation Like Fire
"The chief manager is far-sighted, the establishment is appropriate, and there is no objection to some of them."
"Chief, there will be something back at the end" In a harmonious voice, Lu Longjun's ambassador Xue Jian got up and gave his hand, Li Xiancheng's scalp was numb, he didn't take it seriously when he chatted just now, but he didn't know that this Xue Jian ambassador came quickly.
"What's the matter with Ambassador Xue?" The general manager of Dugu has always been lenient and strict in governing the army, and he also asked kindly at this time.
"The terrain of Tahe is complex, and brave men are needed to attack the city, and a certain front army is dominated by cavalry, and there is a lack of infantry, so please refer to the general manager."
"Oh, what does Manager Fang think?"
General Fang Sihai, the former commander of the Bohai Metropolitan Governor, pondered for a moment, "What General Xue said is extremely true, the cavalry of the Bohai Navy accounts for eighty percent, and Ambassador Xue's Lu Long Army is also the majority of the cavalry, and it is really necessary to supplement the infantry."
"Well, it's a certain kind of consideration that is inappropriate," Dugu never shy away from saying that he was wrong, "However, this expedition is also mainly cavalry, and there are few infantry, so wait for a certain class to think about it"
"The chief manager doesn't need to worry too much, I think that the right army is strong and strong, and most of the infantry of the Black Water Army and the Far Eastern Domain Army, I am willing to borrow troops from General Manager Li, no more, one regiment is enough."
"Huh?" The chief manager of Dugu understood when he heard it, this was the idea of fighting the wolf group on Temple Street, but when he thought about the demon wolf Tianxing, he was a little hesitant, and before the war, the Dugu Tianxing on Temple Street said that he should not split the wolf group.
When the generals in the tent looked at it, why did the chief steward hesitate? Isn't it just borrowing some soldiers and horses?
Shan Sijing, the deputy head of the camp, also understood, at that time, the two major capitals of Temple Street and Anton negotiated with the Demon Wolf Tianxing, and there was such a clause, which was said to be serious, that is, the Temple Street Zhichong Mansion and the Thirteen Far East Departments did not listen to the announcement, that is, he could choose to implement the military orders of the big battalion.
Thinking of the demonic nature of the demon wolf, besides, most of the grain and grass and military resources of the entire Zhengmohe battalion are now transported by Temple Street, and the single deputy chief manager also has a little headache.
"Ambassador Xue, this matter can be discussed later," said the deputy chief manager with a toothache.
The Dugu manager also nodded.
Ambassador Xue Jian sat down stupidly, the generals in the tent didn't know why, but it was not good to say much, but the former army commander Bohai Du Governor Fang Sihai was a little embarrassed, what's the matter, a certain front army wants a regiment of infantry to discuss again?
"Single deputy general manager, a certain former army is the vanguard of the whole army, the main force of infantry is needed to attack the city and pull out the village, the right army and horses are the crown of the five armies, and the same is the Yantang soldiers and horses, what is the difficulty of dividing the infantry?"
"Fang Dudu, or else? The Liaocheng Army is also infantry, or should it all be assigned to the former army? I don't know if the deputy general manager knows that the little lieutenant who was expelled in Hailan is now hiding in the Liaocheng Army, anyway, he smiled and made a suggestion.
"Huh?" Governor Fang was even more confused, this didn't look like he was taking control of the former army? I thought that the single deputy general manager was reluctant to host the soldiers and horses, but now he is so generous, asking for a regiment but giving it to an army?
"Nope"
"Defective"
Two shouts sounded, namely Ambassador Xue Jian, former adjutant general Lu Long, and Yan Guofeng, ambassador of the Liaocheng Army, deputy general of the Chinese army.
"What's wrong?" Dugu's face was pale.
"The camp has been determined to be the Chinese army, and it is not appropriate to change the order of the court" Yan Guofeng, the ambassador of the Liaocheng Army, wanted to come and take advantage of the military merits, but he didn't want to mix with Xue Jianfang, the two battlefield madmen, what did the former army do? Pioneers, the big war must be at the forefront.
"The Liaocheng army has been encamped, and the relocation takes time, so there is really no need to bother" Xue Jian didn't want this kind of old soldier who hadn't been on the battlefield for many years, but he had to be tactful.
Governor Fang also reacted, Liaocheng Army, have you seen blood? Suddenly, he glanced at Shan Sijing, the deputy chief manager, with unkind eyes.
"Okay, you want the people of Temple Street Zhichong Mansion, right? If you are right, you will go to transfer it yourself, "The general manager of Dugu is also annoyed, the enemy is at present, but he is arguing about the strength of the regiment, and he still has more than 200,000 people to eat, drink and Lazar to care about."
"Chief Manager Xie" Xue Jian sat down proudly, and winked at Li Xiancheng, the commander of the Right Army.
Li Xiancheng smiled bitterly, ignoring the provocation of this goods, thinking that you will know how powerful you will be when you go to invite those unruly wolf cubs.
After an episode, the general manager of Dugu did not say anything, and directly got up to bypass the Shuai case and uncover the red cloth of the central case.
The sand table map comes from the pile of rice for the mountain of the Great Han Dynasty Ma Yuan, and in the eighth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiuqin led the army to crusade against Kui Huan. When the army arrived in Qi County, many generals thought that the future was unclear, the outcome was uncertain, and it was not appropriate to go deep into the danger, and for a time Emperor Guangwu was also hesitant and difficult to make up his mind. At this time, the general Ma Yuan was ordered to come, and Emperor Guangwu was overjoyed, summoned him overnight, and told Ma Yuan the opinions of the generals to ask for his opinion. Ma Yuan expressed his opinion, he believed that the noisy generals had fallen apart, and if they took the opportunity to attack, they would definitely win a complete victory. As he spoke, he ordered someone to take some rice grains, and used them to pile up valleys and ravines and other terrain features in front of Emperor Guangwu, and then pointed out the situation of the mountains and rivers, marking the roads for the advance and retreat of the troops from all walks of life. Emperor Guangwu was particularly happy and said, "The captives are in my eyes." So he decided to march. The next day, Emperor Guangwu marched westward and arrived at the first city of Gaoping to fight a decisive battle with Kui Huan, and won a complete victory. In this battle, Ma Yuan's "piling rice for mountains" was one of the important reasons for winning this battle, which was also a pioneering achievement in the history of war, and it was also the prototype of the earliest military sand table in history.
Of course, there are also people who say that it is the carpenter ancestor Lu Ban created, but the sand table is favored by many famous generals, and then transformed by countless handsome generals, there are sand plates, and there are sawdust as materials, in short, it is more and more image, bigger and bigger, more and more perfect.
Yan Tang's favorite use of the sand table is the founding of the Wei Gong Li Jing, the world's military god is also, several other generals are famous for their bravery, and the other is on a par with the Wei Guogong? Yinggong Li Tao loves maps alone, but whether he can understand and use sand table maps is the difference between handsome and general.
How many battle-hardened generals in the military tent in the Zhengmo River have naturally seen the sand table, the sand table is very large and specific, the mountains and rivers, and the cities and camps are clear at a glance. The crowd gathered around and chattered, nothing more than that a certain person is here, and you are on the other side.
The single deputy chief manager took a wooden stick, the Dugu chief manager signaled to be quiet, and the single deputy chief manager began to introduce.
"The terrain of Tahe is dangerous, surrounded by mountains, the Tahe River and the Huma River meet here, it is the main road of the Far East and the Mohe River, the mountains are many rivers and many forests are dense, the Tahe City has been operating for a hundred years since the Turks occupied, backed by the mountains, surrounded by water on both sides, the city is strong and the wall is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"Tahe Shou will be Ashina Jishe, is a rare Turkic handsome talent, I heard that he studied under the Yan and Tang Dynasty military god Li Jinggong, resourceful and good use of the art of war, from its shrinking troops, giving up Hailan Pao, abandoning the Gulan, but placing troops in Huma to obstruct the east, the Turkic cavalry is strong, but does not concentrate forces and a certain decisive battle in the field, obviously wants to delay the speed of the Yantang march, wait until the Far East ice period, win without a fight, and so on, it can be seen that it is not in vain"
"Now it has been discovered that there are more than 50,000 Turkic soldiers and horses in Tahe, including more than 40,000 in the city, and 2,000 soldiers and horses in the northeast and northwest respectively.
"200,000 against 50,000, the Yan and Tang forces have the advantage, but don't forget that there are still 100,000 inhabitants of Tahe, all of whom are Turks and their vassal tribes, and these are all warriors. Therefore, the generals must not take it lightly, and the number of the enemy cannot be counted at 50,000. ”
"The Turkic garrison had 10,000 detachments, 10,000 commanders, the rest were Tujie soldiers, and 5,000 mercenaries, including 500 bear soldiers. In addition to Ashina Jishe, the deputy general is the Turkic brave general Korkut, and all of you here have suffered a lot from him, right? ”
"The Turkic side has shrunk its forces, and there are no outposts except for a few strongholds outside the city, so it is clear that they want to hold on to Tahe City, stay up for two or three months, and enter October Our army has only one way to retreat."
"It's the end of June now, and if you can't successfully take Tahe at the end of July and early August, it's just empty talk to march into Mohe, so you should work hard."
The commander-in-chief of the five armed forces and the subordinate adjutant generals and commanders Shi listened to the introduction and discussed a lot.
"200,000 to 50,000, if you can't take the Tahe, go home and play with your children" Bohai Governor Bohai Governor Zhuangwu General Fang Sihai is now nearly fifty years old, but he is getting older and stronger, straightening his body, rubbing his needle-like thick hair, and said in a loud voice.
"Fang Du Governor and Hugh light the enemy, the Turks have good generals to fortify the city, and wait for work, so you can't help but take Tahe smoothly and quickly, and to avoid excessive losses, otherwise the Mohe army is overstretched, this battle must be considered in the long run" Tang Xiujing, the general of the left army, the governor of Yingzhou, was in his thirties, but he was thoughtful and prepared for a rainy day.
"You can't be timid in a war, you are willing to be the vanguard and open the way for the army," Xue Jian, the ambassador of the Lu Longjun Army, said loudly in Xue Jian, the militant's genes have been integrated into the bone marrow.
"The operation of the army has its own arrangement by the general manager, why are you so loud?" Yan Guofeng, the self-proclaimed Confucian general, shouted the ambassador of the Liaocheng Army.
Xue Jian didn't bother to pay attention to it, shut up and carefully looked at the sand table map.
"Now a certain is still in the south of the Huma River, and now the occasion lies in how to cross the river and come to the city," Yunlu General Yan Junluan is worthy of the royal family Luanfeng, in one sentence.
"The Huma River is narrow, the Tahe River is shallow, crossing the river is not a problem, the important thing is to gain a foothold on the other side, Ashina Qiji is worthy of the famous general, these dock forts are like bones in the throat, it takes a lot of time to cross the river and the people and horses are less, and it is inconvenient to expand the river crossing more people and horses, if you don't pull out these dock forts, you can only wait and see across the river" Li Xiancheng, the Heishui Governor who is familiar with the terrain and human conditions of the Far East, looked at it with a headache.
The two chief managers frowned and did not say a word, and continued to listen to the deliberations of the generals.
As time went on, the armies gradually divided into small groups headed by the commanders of the five armed forces.
The people in the big tent were buzzing and the scene was enthusiastic.
Signaling to the single deputy chief manager, the chief manager of Dugu simply asked the five chief managers to find a place to convene their subordinate generals to discuss on their own, and then make a decision in the afternoon.
At noon, the generals of the Chinese military tent camp had a hasty meal, and the two chief managers raised the account after the meal.
Only the commanders and lieutenants of the various armies, as well as the ambassadors and chief generals of the various armies, were left in the account, and the captains and commanders could only stand outside the accounts and listen.
"Do you have a charter?" The general manager of Dugu also has no nonsense, and asks Tahe Raiders at the beginning.
The generals in the tent looked at their hearts and were silent for a while.
"You don't have a charter in the morning?" The deputy chief manager sneered, "Let's discuss tomorrow's matters first, right?" Governor Li, tell me about your right army's strategy for tomorrow's army? ”
Persimmon picks soft pinch, and Li Xiancheng, the governor of Heishui, has the least qualifications, and only has the courage to be the chicken that sets an example for the monkey.
"The two commanders, the right army has now set up camp in the east of the Huma Beita River, and is now cutting wood to make siege equipment, and yesterday's statistics have completed 20 rushing vehicles, 100 ladders, and 50 flying bridges, and strive to reach 100 instruments of all kinds within three days."
Li Xiancheng is familiar with Temple Street, and all walks of life in Temple Street are accustomed to speaking with numbers.
"In the past few days, a certain unit has cleared the east of the Tahe River, planned to capture 226 Turkic scouts, and set up troops on three surrounding hills to closely observe the movements of the Tahe River."
"A certain naval army is investigating the water situation of the Tahe River, and has selected three suitable places to cross the river, and the whole army is ready to go.
Although Li Dudu started from the end of the world, he was also eager to learn, and his words were reasonable, and his voice was full of emotion, and the generals looked at him sideways, and they all changed.
The two chief managers did not comment, and when they saw that they were speechless, they motioned to Pei Xuangui, the commander of the rear army next to him, to continue speaking.
"The rear army has established a camp in Targen, and the grain storage has millions of stones, and the military resources have arrived one after another, and the defense has been responsible for all parties" The rear army is responsible for the supply of military funds, and Pei Xuangui also knows that his army is a siege reserve, so it is concise and to the point.
Pei Xuangui, the commander of the rear army, continued to report several key points of military strategy, and then the commander of the Chinese army, Princess Yansan, spoke.
Yan Junluan is one of the few female generals in the Yan and Tang Empires, who is out of the royal family, has been in the army for many years, and the garrison has its own rules, and is careful and diligent, and the army is rigid and soft.
The Chinese army set up a gossip array on the south bank of Huma, and the subordinate armies were stationed on eight sides, maintaining the accounts of the Chinese army, the Cao of the Chinese army, the scouts of the escort army, entrenched in the center, the Yan commander spoke and governed the army in a proper manner, and the old army leaders in the account could not find flaws, they all nodded their heads, and secretly thought that the royal monarch was worthy of his name.
Tang Xiujing, the governor of the left military camp, had a number of Confucian generals in Yan Tang, but he was brave enough to skip people, and the left army was stationed in a cone before, and his left army tent was the tip of the cone. The subordinate Xincheng Army and Huaiyuan Army are all divisions of a hundred battles, not to mention that Yingzhou is an important town in Hebei Province, and the Yingzhou army is strong and strong, and there are countless fierce generals.
The Tang Governor only briefly described the soldiers of each battalion who were waiting for the day, practicing siege tactics every day, and releasing horses from afar until the territory of Mohe.
The last to speak was the former army, but the commander of the Bohai Metropolitan Governor Fang Sihai signaled his deputy Xue Jian to speak on his behalf.
The young son of the Imperial Divine Knight, Lu Longjun, and the ambassador Xue Zhonglang were not afraid of being criticized for his transgression, and the two chief managers did not have the leisure to slander the old army leader, Governor Fang, for being lazy.
"A certain former army has established a place to cross the river, and the equipment has been prepared, although many people have been sent to smuggle across the Huma River, but they have all been found and suffered heavy losses."
"The Turkic Dock Fort along the river is very strong, the Tibetan soldiers are innumerable, there are light and dark channels to connect Tahe City, there are eight Gangbao on the bright side, three hidden forts have been discovered, and the garrison is estimated to range from dozens to hundreds."
"A certain group of people discussed, wanting to attack it with a surprise army, crossing the Ta River with a battalion, pulling out the dock forts one by one from east to west, crossing the river from the upper reaches of Huma with a part, and attacking from west to east, and increasing the momentum to strengthen the situation of crossing the Huma River head-on, echoing the strange soldiers."
"Tomorrow, all relevant ministries will be ready, and the day after tomorrow will be action"
"However, the cavalry of the former army is the majority, and I implore the general to dispatch the right-hand man of the Right Army Temple Street Zhichong Mansion to help, and the Duta River Department wants to be responsible for it."
"A certain military oath was made to uproot all the dock forts within three days, and all the former troops crossed the river within five days, and the army came to the city of Tahe"
The Xue family, the emerging imperial military gate that established the world with bravery, has never lacked courageous people, although everyone in the world is inferior to his eldest brother Xue Jian with his youngest son Xue Jian, but his pride is not inferior to others.
After Ambassador Xue finished speaking, he looked at all the generals, and he had to open his hair, like a god descending to earth.
