Back in the side hall, everyone looked at Xu Rui like groundhogs.

Xu Rui was slightly stunned: "You know everything?" ”

Guo Shengbao said: "Dashuai, Wuliji dares to take advantage of the fire to rob, is it tolerable or unbearable, the brothers have already lifted the table, shouting to help Dashuai snatch his wife back!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Lin Shaodong smiled: "Which man would obediently give his beloved woman to others?" The marriage envoy is a joke, as long as the handsome man gives an order, we will immediately step on the grassland, and let the group of hairy and blood-drinking savages taste our awesomeness! ”

"Not bad!"

Cao Siyuan nodded and said: "The eldest husband is happy to take revenge, the handsome man is in danger this time because of that group of bastards, even if it is not to snatch back the princess, we have to let them pay for their blood debts, not only them, but all those who fall into the well, one is counted as one, and they have to be cleaned up!" ”

Zhang Zuofeng said: "The middle of the court is still in the second, the current grassland is changing, sooner or later it will endanger my northern Wei Xinjiang, it is good to clean up early, this time the handsome marshal is married, the last general was the vanguard, and the first war will solve the invasion of the grassland for 30 years!" ”

"Yes, hit him!"

"Let them taste the power of our Apocalypse!"

The crowd was indignant, and as soon as you said a word to me, the conversation was in full swing.

Xu Rui looked at everyone and laughed: "What, the wings are stiff, you can hit whoever you say, and you can fight as much as you say?" ”

Everyone gradually quieted down and looked at Xu Rui in surprise.

Xu Rui said: "This marshal is a marriage envoy this time, not a general, and the grassland iron cavalry is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others, even if it is really to fight, our Apocalypse Guard is only 15,000 men and horses, and it is a grassland battle, and we can win a million cavalry?" ”

Guo Shengbao said disdainfully: "The marshal is too ambitious for others and destroys his own prestige, we are not even afraid of the Wuling army, but also a few grassland cavalry?" ”

"That's it!"

Cao Siyuan said: "Does the marshal think that the grassland people will be more difficult to deal with than the army of the Southern Dynasties?" ”

Zhang Zuofeng muttered: "If the marshal thinks that our Apocalypse Guard has reduced its combat power due to the expansion, then rest assured, the new Apocalypse Guard has undergone a whole set of strict training in the past year.

Everyone in our army is literate, each company is equipped with a health class, and in particular, the medical school has helped us train a group of field doctors, and we have the ability to establish a field hospital.

The current Apocalypse Guard, whether it is tactical literacy, riding coordination, cycling coordination, fire cover or injury treatment, has reached a very high standard, which is only stronger than when he went to Xichuan! ”

Lin Shaodong added: "In addition, in addition to more than 700 small-caliber mortars, more than 400 second-generation Vulcan cannons and city-breaking cannons, 100 of the latest 80mm backyard guns have also been installed......"

"Yes, yes, that thing forgot to say!"

Speaking of this, Guo Shengbao suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Don't look at the only one hundred guns, but that thing is the real artifact, the range is more than ten miles, the accuracy is comparable to the Vulcan cannon, not only is it more powerful, but the cannonball is also a circle smaller, even if it is a cow ghost and snake god, my old Guo dares to pack a ticket and bomb them all into slag!" ”

Seeing that everyone was saying something to you again, the more I said it, the more enthusiastic I became, Xu Rui hurriedly smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Seeing that you are so confident, it means that we have not wasted this year, as a hands-off shopkeeper, this handsome is really gratified, thank you!" ”

Saying that, Xu Rui stood up and bowed deeply to everyone.

"Handsome ......"

When everyone saw this, they were shocked.

Xu Rui said: "As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and there are a few words that the commander must make clear first."

First, the more equipment you have, the more supplies you need, the art of war has not moved, and the grain and grass go first, because with so much equipment, the pressure on our baggage transportation will become unprecedentedly huge.

In addition to a large amount of grain, grass and medicine, there are tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of shells, hundreds of thousands of boxes of various thunderbolts, and countless arrows that need to be transported in the grassland. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water, and they couldn't help but show a contemplative look.

Xu Rui continued: "Second, this time we are fighting in the grassland, the grassland is not like the mountains, not to mention the city, and even the dangerous terrain is very few, so it is difficult to establish a deep and systematic firepower network.

And the enemy we need to face is hundreds of thousands of steppe cavalry that are faster, more durable, and not much weaker than the cavalry of the Southern Dynasty.

If it is really a short fight, do you have the confidence to fight in one battle? ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces became a little ugly.

Xu Rui continued: "Third, the grassland is vast, just like a sea, hundreds of thousands of cavalry are just a drop in the ocean, even if we really win a few battles, the grassland army only needs to drill into the depths of the grassland, we are not familiar with the terrain, and the mobility is not as good as the enemy, where to find it?"

If we can't find it, or if the enemy only needs to send a small force to harass us in turn, so that our army is mired in a quagmire and tired of coping, our small number will undoubtedly expose the disadvantage of too long supply lines.

When the time comes, not to mention the bloody grassland, it is unknown whether he can come back, Ben Shuai really doesn't want to be like Xichuan again, just leading a few hundred soldiers to triumph! ”

After saying this, the crowd fell completely silent.

In this world, the many decisive victories of the Central Plains Dynasty over the grassland covered up those fiascos, and everyone took it for granted that the grassland was vulnerable, but Xu Rui understood that this battle was indeed not easy to fight, and in a sense, it was even more dangerous than a direct attack on the Southern Dynasty.

The purpose of this initiation is to make everyone sober up from their proud sense of superiority and understand the hardships and difficulties of this great war, and only in this way will they not cause the tragedy of the defeat of the arrogant army.

After a moment of silence, Lin Shaodong simply didn't want to, stood up and said: "Having said that, since the handsome man dares to take over the position of marriage envoy, there must already be a right plan, right?" ”

Everyone nodded, and looked at Xu Rui with hope.

Xu Rui shrugged his shoulders and said: "Naturally, there are countermeasures, but they are far from perfect, and what I just said is a problem that Ben Shuai can't completely solve, but everyone sitting here is his own people, don't hide it from everyone, this time it's a wife robbery, so no matter how difficult it is, this battle must be won!" ”

Cao Siyuan hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai, you can give the order, even if it is a sea of swords and fires this time, the brothers will accompany you to fight together!" ”

"Yes, please give the order!"

"Please give the order!"

Everyone clenched their fists together.

Xu Rui nodded, a sense of pride rose in his heart, and he said loudly: "This time I went to the northwest army with only twenty days of rations, and all vehicles should bring as much ammunition as possible.

Second, this time you can't go west, you can only outwit it, the marshal is the marriage envoy, and the apocalypse guard is the army that escorts the princess out of the fortress, without the general order of the marshal, you have to do your part and try to avoid unnecessary friction.

Third, relying on the imperial court to transport materials is not only slow, but also time-consuming and labor-intensive, An Ge you are personally in charge of the northwest trade route of the Galaxy Group, and make adequate preparations, once the army needs it, the caravan must continuously transport all kinds of materials to the front line.

Of course, the commander will never let the caravan run in vain, and a war is enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of all caravans and solve the big problem of logistics supply.

Fourth, you must go down and let the soldiers be fully prepared, if this battle really starts, I am afraid that it will be the most difficult and difficult battle we have ever encountered, and we must not take it lightly!

Fortunately, most of the soldiers of the Apocalypse Guard were born in the Northwest Frontier Army, and this battle is also half of the home field, if we can guard against arrogance and rashness, the balance of victory and defeat will quickly fall to our side.

In the end, the princess's wedding is very urgent, the time is limited, and the preparations are complicated and heavy, so they can't be delayed, Lin Shaodong coordinates the overall situation, everyone must do what they are doing well, and they are not allowed to make any mistakes, okay, without further ado, let's do it now! ”

"The last general obeys!"

"The subordinates have orders!"

The general ordered everyone to get up together, salute Xu Rui with fists, and then immediately set off to prepare for the army's march.

Xu Rui sat in the side hall, watching everyone rush out, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

At this time, Yuan Zixiong led a few Yuan family disciples out of the inner hall and asked in a low voice, "The lord seems to be still worried?" ”

Xu Rui came back to his senses and nodded: "Our army still has two major shortcomings that cannot be solved, one is intelligence, and the other is reconnaissance, in terms of intelligence, this commander has some eyebrows, and it is not possible to say whether it will succeed, as for reconnaissance, this commander is trying to break his head and is not sure that he can find the main force of the enemy army on the vast grassland......"

Yuan Zixiong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and leaned into Xu Rui's ear and said, "Don't worry, the two weapons you told the old man to develop secretly can already be used......

"Oh?"

Xu Rui's eyes froze, and he said in surprise: "Really?!" ”

Yuan Zixiong nodded with a smile.

Xu Rui suddenly laughed and said, "Okay! In this way, the Apocalypse Guard is like a tiger with wings, and Ben Shuai can really give it a go this time!

Master Yuan, this time you handed over the Yuanchu Base to others to take care of, not only yourself, but also take a core disciple to go to the northwest with me, since we want to fight, we can't lose money, seize this opportunity to make a fortune, maybe it will be the money for us to live in peace in the future! ”

Yuan Zixiong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly looked at Xu Rui, and his face couldn't help showing ecstasy.
