Chapter Eighty-Five: The Front of the Great Army

But after listening to Chen Sheng's account, the two of them also understood that training such a smart force was not much less difficult than selecting a Praetorian Guard.

After explaining the purpose and outline of the training, Chen Sheng began to teach everyone how to conceal and disguise. Although Meng Yi has been asked to make the corresponding military uniforms, learning to use the environment to conceal the course is also one of the skills that every special combat team member must learn. Fortunately, Chen Sheng didn't want to deliberately build the Praetorian Guards into a special force. In just a few days, no matter how good the foundation of the Praetorian Guards is, it is difficult to learn such knowledge.

In order to be more targeted, Chen Sheng asked Meng Yi to bring the map of the pass that Zhao Tuo was about to attack, and used the terrain around the pass as an example to analyze how to use the terrain to attack this pass in simple terms.

This pass is called Wuyi Pass, and it is a pass that stretches for hundreds of miles of Wuyi Mountain. Both sides of the pass are peaks and cliffs, the ape is difficult to climb the natural danger, and the Wuyi Pass is built extremely tall, the pass is narrow, the army can not carry out a fierce attack at all, it can be said that the pass is not open. If you bypass this pass and detour to the northeast, you must reach Huiji County to find a suitable offensive route, but the battle line is elongated, and the grain and grass in the rear cannot be transported at all, so this road is not passable; In addition, it can advance southward, and the southern direction is Nanye, the base camp of another southern expeditionary army. Turning the road from Nanye, you can only attack the land of Minyue, and you have to cross the Wuyi Mountain, which is time-consuming and laborious, and I don't know what year and month you can turn back to Dongou this place. The reason why the army chose to march from here is because it is easier than the other two.

It's easy, though. But in the eyes of the generals of the Qin army, it is also as difficult as climbing to the sky. When he saw the mountains marked on the map, Chen Sheng couldn't help but let out a thick breath of turbidity. According to Chen Sheng, even if he grows wings, he may not be able to fly through this pass!

However, this special combat team member was originally specialized in gnawing hard bones. Chen Sheng knew that he had no experience in commanding operations, so he did not dare to talk about military affairs. After letting Hu Bugui and Han Dali, the two fierce generals, explain the configuration of offensive and defensive forces on both sides, he will slowly figure out how to let the Praetorian Guards blend into Wuyi Pass and cooperate with the soldiers who attack the pass.

……

After the vigorous dispatch of Meng Yi and Fusu, the materials needed by Chen Sheng were also prepared. Although the green ready-to-wear that he was ordered to formulate had not yet been made, Chen Sheng came up with other methods, let the forbidden soldiers wear plain clothes, and then let the lacquer craftsmen brush the green paint. It's just that the smell of paint is too strong, and it can only be used in training, otherwise such a strong smell of paint will approach the enemy, even if the enemy can't see anyone, he can also sense that the situation is inappropriate, and as soon as the feather arrow comes down, these guards will have to be hedgehogs.

The military quality of the guards was passed, which could also save the difficult physical training, so Chen Sheng was also very relaxed. They all took the Janissaries in the field to learn how to lurk and advance at night. How to communicate at night, use starlight and terrain to find directions. In addition, Chen Sheng also taught a lot of special operations troops the vicious tricks of killing these guards, so that they could be of great use in sneak attacks.

In the past two days, the Praetorian Guards have gained a lot. Chen Sheng suggested to Meng Yi to bring the guards to Wuyi Pass for targeted training, and the effect was better, Meng Yi thought so, and led the guards all the way to the southeast.

In the past two days, Meng Yi has also received a lot of secret reports from all parties in the imperial court, and after careful investigation by the Heishui Pavilion, it has been determined that Zhang Liang's fleet has not entered the territory of Hengshan County and Changsha County, and the grain of the two counties was snapped up last year, and when the government later requisitioned it, it received very little, and the grain that was snatched up is said to have been transported away in the southeast direction.

After receiving this information, Meng Yi was awe-inspiring in his heart, and knew that these millions of stones, grains and grass were estimated to have all been transported to the land of Dongou Minyue and hidden. This is the only place where the terrain is good enough to accommodate the operation of the transport team. Unlike the Lingnan area, which is isolated by the Five Mountains, not to mention food, even the march of the army is extremely difficult. If the grain wants to run into it, it will undoubtedly reach the sky.

All the way by land and water, in order to save time, the team traveled day and night. After a day and a night of walking on the river, they could not continue to advance, so they had to go ashore and drive their horses forward. The southeast mountainous area is complex, and there are many strange rocks. Fortunately, Zhao Tuo's 100,000 southern expeditionary army marched all the way and built a mountain road that could accommodate four horses in parallel, and the advance of Chen Sheng and others was not hindered. In just three days, the people were able to complete the five-day journey that was needed.

At this time, there were still five days before Zhao Tuo attacked Wuyi Pass.

The group was dusty, and their faces were quite tired. Zhao Tuo learned that Gongzi Fusu and Xianyang Ling Meng Yi personally led two hundred guards to help in the battle, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and personally led a personal guard to meet the two thirty miles away.

Chen Sheng's history is average, and he doesn't have much impression of Zhao Tuo. But when he saw Zhao Tuo's appearance, he also nodded in praise.

Although Zhao Tuo is a military general, he does not have the fierce spirit of Han Dali's nonsense, but also has a bit of literary and beautiful spirit, and his age is about the same as that of Meng Yi, and he is a young man in his early thirties.

When Zhao Tuo saw Chen Sheng, he was also surprised in his heart. What is the identity of Gongzi Fusu and Master Meng Yi, and why is this young man able to walk around them? And judging from the looks of Fusu and Meng Yi, both of them were very respectful to Chen Sheng.

After a little inquiry, Zhao Tuo knew that Chen Sheng was originally a student of the old national lieutenant. Zhao Tuo was a little relieved at this time, Master Wei Yu was back in charge of the most mysterious Heishui Pavilion in the empire, the head of the military was clear, and Chen Sheng's identity rose with the tide, which should also be done. But this is not enough for Fusu and Meng Yi to treat each other like this, after a careful investigation, Zhao Tuo learned that a few days ago, Chen Sheng was alone, and more than 50 people broke the Praetorian Guard! Now these two hundred Praetorian Guards, seeing Chen Sheng, respectfully called "instructor". The word instructor was also made up by Chen Sheng himself for the guards to shout. Seeing such a group of awesome guys calling themselves instructors, Chen Sheng also vulgarly satisfied the little vanity in his heart.

Zhao Tuo was stunned. As an imperial general, he naturally understands the power of the Praetorian Guards, so to speak, if he takes the most elite army in his army against the Praetorian Guards, under the same number, without fighting, he knows that his elite is like a local chicken and a dog, and it will collapse at the touch of a button.

The Praetorian Guard not only represents the majesty of the royal family, but also represents the iron blood and courage of this empire.
