Chapter 1257: Ordering Troops and Ordering Generals

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is densely packed with mountains and rivers, the terrain is steep and changeable, the terrain is complex, the height is undulating, and there are both Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, and the Jinsha River with an altitude of only 1,503 meters.

There are majestic and steep mountains in the territory, as well as endless river valleys and plains.

The rolling river hugs the mountains and meanders; The valley is green and grassy, and tall and mighty yaks with long hair can be seen everywhere; The lake is sparkling, as clear as a blue sky.

There is snow at the top of the mountain, but the bottom of the mountain is warm like spring.

In the middle of the Tibetan Plateau, on the north side of the Himalayas, lies the Tibetan royal city of Luoqicheng, where the Luozi River flows and flows into the famous Brahmaputra River in the southern suburbs.

Before moving the capital, the city of Luo was a swamp and barren, after Songtsen Gampo moved the capital, built a palace fort, repaired the river channel, built a temple, laid the prototype of the city of Luo, and the Jokhang Temple was built during this period.

Although the city of Logos was overcast in August, it was relatively calm.

Around the 25th, the Great Xia Fourth Route Army arrived at the Tibetan border, and the first obstacle in front of the army was not the Ashoka army, but the harsh plateau climate.

The army of the four countries had never fought in the plateau before, and when they suddenly set foot on the land of Tibet, they had more or less some altitude sickness, headaches, insomnia, loss of appetite, tiredness, and difficulty breathing......

Each of them is a battlefield killer that cannot be ignored.

Fortunately, the soldiers are in excellent physical condition, and their morale is high, and the altitude sickness is not too violent, otherwise, this battle will not be able to be fought at all.

Every unit that set foot in Tibet had to rest in place for two days and get used to it a little before it could really embark on the journey. Therefore, the Fourth Route Army set up row after row of transit camps on the Tibetan border.

The army of millions is like flowing water, coming and going, endlessly.

Seeing this, the fighting spirit of the Ashoka army, under the call of Ashoka, took the initiative to attack the Great Xia army, and set off the first wave of fighting on the Tibetan border.

The Great Xia Army, which suffered from altitude sickness, had not yet adjusted, but it encountered a head-on attack from the enemy, and it was very scrambling, and some casualties inevitably appeared.

Seeing this, the Ashoka army pursued the victory and made a bold statement that it would be decided to fight a battle, completely expel the Great Xia army, send troops, and frequently carry out riots in the transit camp of the Great Xia army.

The confident Great Xia Army encountered a blow to the head.

Seeing this, the Northwest Theater Command ordered the Fourth Route Army to use the transit station camp as an outpost to stabilize its position, not to advance lightly, and to organize a counterattack after adapting to the plateau climate.

The "show of weakness" of the Great Xia Army, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Ashoka Dynasty, was naturally admitted, so they became more arrogant, and frequently flaunted their might outside the camp of the Great Xia Army, and took the initiative to fight.

The more this is the case, the more strictly the Northwest Theater Command orders all units to never go to war.

…………

In the blink of an eye, five days have passed.

September 1, Shu Province, Chengdu City, Northwest Theater Headquarters.

Military advisor Xun Yu came to Li Jing's room, holding the battle report that had just been presented in his hand, and said worriedly: "Marshal, now the generals of all departments are in great mood, and the generals are about to be unable to suppress it. ”

When Li Jing heard this, he raised his head and asked, "Which one is the most ferocious all the way?" ”

"Right wing." Xun Yu replied.

On the right flank, it was the 500,000 Qin army led by Wang Qian.

When Li Jing heard this, he just smiled, "It's really a group of tigers and wolves, fortunately, General Wang Jian has determination, otherwise, I'm afraid they would have made trouble a long time ago, right?!" ”

Xun Yu is not easy to answer.

Who doesn't know that when His Majesty saw off the Fourth Route Army, he gave high praise to the Qin Army, and said that the 500,000 Qin Army was full of blood and high fighting spirit.

Now that the first battle has been frustrated, the Qin army is naturally unbearable.

Fortunately, there is Wang Jian here, this person has fought countless battles in his life, wise but not violent, brave and resourceful, and in history, he has retreated bravely and completely retreated, and he is really a great general.

Seeing this, Li Jing didn't mention it, and instead asked: "At present, how many troops have adapted to the plateau climate, and how many grain and grass materials have been transported to the front line?" ”

Xun Yu replied: "Back to Dashuai, at present, there are a total of 350,000 troops in the four routes to fight, and the materials that arrive at the front line are enough to support half a month." ”

"Half a moon." Li Jing chewed it and sighed: "The grain and grass are still too slow. ”

"This is also something that cannot be helped, the road is too difficult to walk, and some sections of the road can only be carried by horses or even manpower, and it is very rare to achieve the current results." Xun Yu explained, "So far, more than 1,000 people have been killed or injured on the way to transport grain, and if it weren't for His Majesty personally intervening, those governors would have had an opinion, and now is the critical period for sowing the second crop of rice." ”

"No matter how difficult it is, I can't relax, I will personally report this matter to Your Majesty." Li Jing's face was resolute, and his tone was unquestionable, he knew very well that this victory and defeat was not in altitude sickness, but in grain and grass.

Grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army, and they cannot be slackened at all.

Xun Yu nodded, without any objections, knowing that the marshal was not only the commander of the Northwest Theater, but also one of the three rotating ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, and he was deeply trusted by His Majesty, so he could naturally reach the heavens.

"Although it is only used for half a month, it is basically enough, and if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that it will change, and it will also hit morale, which will not be conducive to the follow-up war." Xun Yu spoke his opinion.

Li Jing nodded, he also knew that after all, the two million army was not a regular army in Great Xia, and it had not been tempered by the military regulations of Great Xia, and it was still a little worse in terms of discipline.

If the enemy continues to provoke like this, something may really happen.

"In this case, let's let the army from all walks of life take the opportunity to dispatch, and it is time to teach the enemy a bloody lesson, so that they don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and they really think that I can be bullied in Daxia." Li Jing made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll make an order!" Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

With the order of the command, the four-way army quickly moved.

On the border of Xihai Province, the camp of the Right Wing Army.

Wang Qian, who was over middle age, looked at the military order just sent by the headquarters, and shouted angrily: "Someone! ”

"In!"

"Gather the generals and go to the camp to discuss the matter."

"No!"

In less than ten minutes, the generals at the level of corps commander gathered in the camp tent of the Chinese army. During this time, the army could not hold out, and the generals had already been suffocated, and when they heard that the marshal was promoted to the account, they did not come as quickly as possible.

Standing at the front, it was the young man Wang Ben, who asked excitedly: "Father, are you going to send troops?" ”

Wang Jian pressed down with his hands, and the camp tent was immediately quiet, which showed Wang Qian's high prestige in the army, and said in a deep voice: "After receiving the order of the headquarters, all departments will turn to defend and attack, choose the opportunity to fight, take advantage of the enemy's weakness of the enemy, and limit the four-way army to at least one enemy city within a week, as an outpost." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Jian glanced at the generals and asked, "Who dares to be the vanguard and lead his troops to break through Amdo City?" ”

Amdo City is a county seat, and it is also the closest city to the Qin army camp, and according to the spies, the Ashoka Dynasty has a full 40,000 troops stationed in the city, which should not be underestimated.

"Father, the last general is willing to go!"

Wang Ben was the first to ask for battle, and the other generals saw this and did not say anything.

The tiger father has no dogs, Wang Ben's prestige in the Qin army is second only to his father Wang Qian, and Nuoda's reputation and merits are not just relying on his father, but there are real materials.

In the Qin army, it is customary to be called a young marshal.

Seeing this, Wang Jian nodded, the first battle will be won, Wang Ben will go on the expedition, naturally he is the most reassured, "In this case, I will order you to lead 70,000 horses and horses from your headquarters to go on the expedition, and within five days, take Amdo City." ”

The time limit given by the command was seven days, and Wang Jian was naturally more demanding.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ben's heart was even higher, and he said angrily: "Enlighten your father, three days is enough!" ”

"There is no joke in the army." Wang Jian didn't want to see his son Tuo Da.

Wang Ben was full of spirit, "The last general is willing to make a military order!" "He is determined to win the first victory in this battle, and take the lead in breaking the city among the four armies to raise the prestige of the Qin army.

"Okay, just give it three days!"

Wang Jian didn't say much, since he had made a military order, he had his own military law in front of him.

"Thank you, Father!"

Wang Ben clenched his hands into fists and stepped back to the side.

Wang Jian looked around the camp again and said, "The rest of the departments are ready to fight immediately, thinking that they should respond." ”

"No!"

The generals responded in unison, and the fighting spirit boiled.

"Let's go down and prepare!"

Wang Jian waved his hand, and the generals rushed out.

Less than an hour passed, Wang Ben ordered the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, only brought enough grain and grass for three days, drove out of the barracks, and officially killed the front line.

The Battle of Tibet, this is the real beginning.

Not only the right-wing army, but also the left-wing army, the middle army, and the middle route army have all set up troops and horses, and they have slaughtered out of the camp in a mighty manner, which is not only out of the evil spirit that has been suffered for several days, but also the first merit of the robbers fighting for this battle.

Who will win the championship in this battle is quite eye-catching.
