Chapter 1567: Expedition
Song Jiaxing was stunned when he heard this, and said in amazement: "Big brother, didn't you say that you would go on an expedition to the Rakshasa Kingdom in three years?" ”
Xu Yifan sighed: "Three years, who knows what will happen in three years?" The conflict between our Ming Dynasty and the West has become more and more intense, a war in the future, inevitable, three years, anything can happen, we are recuperating in Xiu, why is the Rakshasa country recuperating? What's more, we may not be able to recuperate, you must know that the naval fleets of England, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal may go on an expedition to the South Seas again at any time, once the Western fleet reaches the South Seas, then our energy will inevitably move south, and at that time, how can we still have the energy to expedition to the Rakshasa country? ”
Song Jiaxing knew when he landed, the eldest brother is to take precautions, since he has to compete with the entire West, the danger can be imagined, and the outcome is unpredictable, since this is the case, it is better to stabilize the entire Mobei first, and completely subdue the Rakshasa country!
"Mu Feng, Jia Xing, there are many affairs between the DPRK and China, it is impossible for me to stay in Mobei for a long time, and as for the expedition to the Rakshasa Kingdom, it is even more impossible, this matter can only let you go once......"
Qin Mufeng became excited, okay, he just hasn't played enough!
"Big brother, you can go back to the capital with peace of mind, everything here is with me, expedition to the Rakshasa country, I am enough alone, it just happens that Jiaxing is in Mobei to watch the family, we ......"
"Fart!"
Song Jiaxing said angrily: "Qin Mufeng, are you going to cover all the big battles in the world?" Why is there you every time? This expedition to the Rakshasa Kingdom was promised to me a long time ago! It's not your turn! ”
The two brothers blushed and argued, and when it was time to fight, the two brothers naturally refused to give in to each other.
"Alright, stop arguing!"
Xu Yifan roared angrily: "Expedition to the Rakshasa Country, do you think it's a joke? If you follow the way you are now, you will be sent to death if you go, and it is better to wait for three years! ”
The two brothers looked stunned for a moment, and then stopped.
Xu Yifan took a deep breath and replied: "Originally, the result of my discussion with the emperor was to defeat the Rakshasa Legion, and then temporarily retreat, three years later, to expedition to the Rakshasa Country again, and destroy the Rakshasa Country in one fell swoop, but now it is obvious that it is too difficult to destroy the Rakshasa Country, we do not have enough strength, especially we lack sufficient logistics support, from Mobei to the hinterland of the Rakshasa Country, more than 15,000 miles, 15,000 miles, our supply line is too long, don't say dispatch 100,000 troops, Even if it is only one or two thousand troops, it is enough for the imperial court to drink a pot, we have been fighting for many years, the national strength consumption is too great, and there is a threat from the sea from the Western countries in the south, and we are not allowed to waste money and money to go to the barren land! Now I'm going to change my plan, which is to crush Kazan, take as many people as I can from Kazan, and turn it into a deserted city! ”
Song Jiaxing nodded and said, "Big brother, I know this!" ”
"What do you know?"
Xu Yifan said angrily: "The expedition to Kazan is also 6,000 miles, even if the cavalry is sent, marching 150 miles a day, have you ever thought about it, it will take more than 40 days to reach Kazan, such a long distance, we have no way to send artillery, we can only send cavalry, to Kazan, you have to face the indiscriminate bombardment of the artillery of the Rakshasa country, are you prepared?" In Kazan, there are still at least 20,000 or more elite main forces of the Rakshasa Kingdom, how many troops can we send? Once an offensive is launched, how can it be attacked without artillery? Without enough ammunition, how to guarantee the combat power of a large army? Alone, once you encounter danger, how can you get out of the way? ”
Song Jiaxing and Qin Mufeng both wilted, Xu Yifan's every word hit the key point of the expedition to the Rakshasa country, the expedition is not for fun!
"We can use war to feed the war and loot the Quartet, as long as we can beat the Rakshasa Kingdom to the point that we dare not look east for decades, then even if it causes unnecessary killing, it is worth it!"
Qin Mufeng said in a deep voice.
"Humph!"
Xu Yifan snorted coldly: "Raise war with war? Do you think that the Kazan area is as prosperous as the Central Plains, and there is food? Although it is stronger than the Far North, it is just like Mobei, it is not so easy to raise enough grain and grass, the Rakshasa country is on an expedition, their grain is transferred from the country, do you think that just one Kazan can afford to support an army of 100,000? How can it be! ”
"Big brother, what do you say?"
Song Jiaxing asked.
"First, the troops you lead cannot exceed 20,000 people, there are too many troops, and they can't support it at all by relying on the heavy supply of Mobei now; Second, we can't carry artillery and infantry, we can only rely on cavalry and run long distances, so that we can ensure the suddenness of the attack, come and go like the wind, even if the Rakshasa country mobilizes the country's troops, it can't easily leave us; Third, let go of the killing, this time, Mu Feng, I allow you to kill the prisoners, once you enter the territory of the Rakshasas, you can kill as much as you want, there is only one purpose, that is, to kill the courage of the Rakshasa people to the point of collapse, so that they will never dare to challenge the Ming Empire; Fourth, this time, the two of you act together, specific military operations, Mu Feng is responsible, but, where to attack, when to withdraw troops, Jia Xing has the final say, Mu Feng, once you kill the red eye, you will be desperate, often put yourself in danger, this expedition, you do not have any backup, a slight difference, 20,000 elites will be wiped out, I will never allow such a thing to happen, so the tactics you decide, the strategy let Jia Xing come, you two cooperate, I can rest assured that you will do it! ”
"20,000 Elite Riders ......"
Song Jiaxing smiled bitterly: "Big brother, what you said is light, our three towns of Tianwei Army plus the Beijing camp, a total of only a little more than 15,000 fine horses......"
"Then draw the elite from the Monan cavalry, replenish the 20,000 cavalry troops, and carry 40,000 war horses to the battle, our grain and grass will follow you into three thousand miles away, and then if you want to go west, it will be up to you to solve it; As for weapons and ammunition, each person has a firing rifle, each person is equipped with 300 rounds of ammunition, and the army carries 60 rockets, 2,000 rockets, and the remaining grenades, all let you take them away, remember, into the territory of the Rakshasa country, our weapons, ammunition, and baggage, will definitely not be able to keep up, when the time comes, how to complete this battle in the shortest possible time, and return to the division victoriously, it depends on you, I only have one request, how to get the 20,000 army going, then how to bring me back! ”
Xu Yifan said in a deep voice, however, Xu Yifan just said, not to mention that he wanted to go to war, even if he didn't go to war, it would be impossible for 20,000 soldiers to bring back all the beards and feathers, but I was afraid that if he could come back sixty percent of the troops, it would be blessed by the Buddha.
