Chapter 339: Comprehensive Layout
For the Mongol Empire, Orcheng was the equivalent of a choke point of the Mongol Empire. Once the city of Orcheng is lost, then the entire Mongol Empire will become a battlefield for the enemy to wantonly do. This will really decide the fate of the entire Mongol Empire!
Therefore, after getting the news that Orcheng was captured, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire ordered that Orcheng should be recaptured regardless of everything. At the same time as the Chinese army returned to help, the Mongol Empire once again transferred 500,000 cavalry from the imperial capital to Orcheng to support.
According to the calculations of the Ma army, with the marching speed of the Mongolian Chinese army, it would take a day and a night for the large army to return to Orcheng at the earliest. And the real vanguard, without counting the consumption, also takes twelve hours.
And this time is the time left for the Suzaku Legion, to clean up the city, suppress the riots, and repair. At the same time, it is also the time left for the Easy Empire to ambush and prepare. And the reason why Lao Jiu attacked Orcheng was to destroy the Chinese army of the Mongol Empire.
As early as when Lao Jiu was transporting troops, the Ma army had reached this point, and at this time, the four major armies ambushed in the north of Zhanabazar and the north of Bad began to move towards Orcheng synchronously, and arrived at the designated place first, waiting for the return of the Chinese army of the Mongol Empire.
Besides, Lao Jiu, after he left Orcheng City, he took the undead cavalry and went straight to Ulan City. His mission is to block the 500,000 elite cavalry coming out of Ulan City. Although he only brought 10,000 horses, he was confident that with only 10,000 horses, he would defeat the 500,000 cavalry of the Mongol Empire.
Because the cavalry of the Mongol Empire needed to rush to Orcheng day and night, all the way to the city of Or, every time they rested, it would be the time of the greatest physical exertion. And at this time, that is when Lao Jiu really does it.
At Lao Jiu's speed, in just one day, he encountered the cavalry army that set off from Ulan City. However, they were marching in a hurry, and Lao Jiu stopped in front of them, and then released the undead cavalry that had been repaired a long time ago.
The cavalry of the Mongol Empire made their way south, with a lot of hilly terrain along the way. According to the speed of their march and the time of the march, Lao Jiu generally locked on an area, that is, the area where the Mongol Imperial cavalry camped and repaired.
After releasing the undead cavalry, Lao Jiu personally went to the road to investigate the location of the enemy army. When the great army of the Mongol Empire. After twelve hours of rapid travel, they finally slowed down, and the place where they were was was still an endless grassland.
Just where the sun sets, some rolling hills can be faintly seen. The Mongolian steppes in May are the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies. As the sun sets, the cavalry, which stretches for dozens of kilometers at this time, forms a different scenery on the prairie.
As the pace of the army became slower and slower, the whole army finally began to repair. For the horses that sit down, there is food everywhere, but grass alone is not enough, it must also be fodder.
This cavalry of the Mongol Empire is also top-notch in terms of equipment, and no one has a spatial ring and carries food and grass with them. However, space equipment is not omnipotent, and it cannot guarantee the quality of food.
Under normal circumstances, the army carried food with them, and then waited until they were encamped and then processed and used. Except in special circumstances, the army will directly carry cooked food and complete the task in the shortest possible time.
Take the Easy Army as an example, when they go deep into Mongolia, they are equivalent to duckweed without roots, and the distribution of grain and grass is basically distributed according to one team at a time. A squad is a team of five people.
Two of them carried food, two carried water, one carried a stove, and various supplies of medicine. In this way, the grain and grass that a team can carry can be supplied for about a month.
However, the cavalry of the Mongol Empire in front of them was in need of time, so the grain and grass they carried were all processed products and could be eaten directly. According to Lao Jiu's estimate, the food they carry can last for five days at most.
Because even if you bring more, after five days, most of the food will spoil, and it will not be able to feed the army at all. If Lao Jiu didn't guess wrong, there might be an army escorting grain and grass to follow.
In the past, when the war was fought, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Now that there is the Space Ring, this perception has been directly reversed.
"General Chuan's order, rest in place for two hours, and then continue to march......" Listening to the shouts of the herald army all the way away, a smile hung on the corner of Lao Jiu's mouth, and then retreated far away.
"How's the Emperor? Is it possible to act? As soon as he returned to the camp, the Ghost King couldn't wait to ask.
"There is no urgency for the time being, just five short hours, the horse is not possible, and the sleepiness is not necessarily, we are planning well." Lao Jiu said, and began to clean out a piece of turf and make a sand table himself.
"I have mastered the speed of the enemy's march, and in two hours they will still be moving south. Ulan City is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Orcheng, and they have walked 1,000 kilometers in five hours, which is far from Orcheng. Lao Jiu pointed to the sand table he made and said.
"If they set out in two hours, the most likely time to rest is to-morrow noon, and at the speed of their march they will feel this place at noon to-morrow, and this place is on higher ground and is very suitable for cavalry repair."
"I'm going to name this place Lok Ma Po for the time being. The terrain around Lok Ma Po is no longer a flat prairie, but a continuous hilly area. In the southeast direction of the slope, there is a small hill, which can just block the other party's view. ”
"Where do you take your men and horses to wait for orders, and at the same time pass on orders, no one is allowed to act without my orders. The war on the Orcheng side will definitely start first, and I want to communicate with that side first. ”
"Yes! Obey the Emperor's orders! The Ghost King saluted and said.
"You will set out tonight, bypass the enemy's route, you must get to the designated place before dawn, and then wait for the order, I will continue to stay here and monitor the enemy's every move." Lao Jiu said to the Ghost King.
After the ghost king left, Lao Jiu began to contact Orcheng. Calculating the time, the battle over there is about to start, and Lao Jiu must understand the battle situation over there as soon as possible, so as not to cause any problems.
"Where are the millions of Chinese troops of the Mongol Empire now?" Lao Jiu directly connected to Long Fei's video and asked him.
"When the war started last night, the Chinese army began to come back to help, and now it is only two hundred kilometers away from Orcheng. According to the news from the scouts, it is likely that they will have to repair a hundred miles away from Or, and then attack the city early tomorrow morning. Long Fei said to Lao Jiu.
"Now hold an emergency video conference, you connect with the other four armies, and at the same time present the sand table to the video." Lao Jiu frowned and said to Long Fei.
"Yes!" Long Fei answered, and the people began to contact the other four-way armies. Because almost every army has players acting as information linkers, there is no problem with video conferencing at all.
Soon, a large sand table appeared in the video, and various generals also appeared in the video. Lao Jiu looked around, and then said to everyone, "Now report the location of your four-way army." ”
"Report, the Blue Dragon Legion is currently southwest of Orcheng, a hundred kilometers away from the target." Xie Zheng saluted and was the first to say.
"The gluttonous army is due west of the enemy army to avoid being discovered by the enemy, and we have kept a distance of 100 kilometers!" Then Bear Tu said.
"The Xuanwu Legion is in the southeast of Orcheng, and it has now arrived at the designated place, ready to attack at any time!" Tie Zihao said.
"The Golden Crow Legion is directly east of the enemy army, and it has now arrived at the designated place, ready to attack at any time!" Yan Wound also said.
"Where is the Kirin Legion now?" Lao Jiu frowned, and then asked Xiang Long Fei.
"Hulunbuir City has been stabilized for the time being, and General Ma has sent the Qilin Legion, which is now following behind the enemy. Due to the long battle line of the million-strong army, the Qilin Army is still thousands of miles away, in the rear of the enemy. Long Fei immediately said.
"General Wang, tell me about the specific battle plan!" Lao Jiu, Wang Dazhi said.
"According to our judgment, the enemy will repair here, and then wait for the follow-up troops." Wang Dazhi pointed to a lake on the sand table and said, "This lake is called Gillaste Lake, which is a freshwater lake with rich freshwater reserves. ”
"And it's only fifty miles away from Orcheng, and the freshwater in Orcheng mainly comes from this freshwater lake. According to my many years of experience in warfare, the other side will definitely set up camp here and then divide their forces to besiege the city. ”
"And it will take more than an hour for the other party to arrive at Lake Gillast. Therefore, I let the Qinglong Legion ambush in the northwest of the lake, the Gluttonous Legion in the southwest, and the Xuanwu and Jinwu armies in opposite positions. ”
"When the opponent's army stops marching, launch a surprise attack with all its might, and then the Qilin Legion directly attacks the rear of the enemy army. The two major armies of Tao Tao and Jin Crow are responsible for cutting off the entire enemy army and dividing the opponent into two sections. ”
"And the two major legions of Qinglong and Gluttony are responsible for attacking the enemy's vanguard troops, and they must completely disrupt the entire formation of the enemy army in the first place! And Long Fei's task is to kill the commander of the enemy army, and at the same time quickly clear the opponent's heralds. ”
"Giving the enemy a breather is a taboo for soldiers, so we must attack as soon as possible, and with our 500,000 army, we will definitely be able to annihilate the opponent's million-strong army in one fell swoop! If the enemy's central army is defeated, the left and right flank armies will definitely come to support, and the cavalry of Ulan City going south will inevitably change, and I hope the emperor will pay more attention. ”
"This doesn't bother General Wang, General Ma has already arranged it. The two armies in the northeast and northwest will buy you time, and at the same time, the cavalry going south of Ulan City has no way to retreat. Lao Jiu said very confidently.
