249 anti-guest mainly September 02

The rising sun shines through the thick morning mist and falls to the ground.

The entire Ranchi Palace seems to be covered with a layer of golden sand, revealing a strange mysterious and ethereal

In this golden haze, the calm and loud drum rumbled and echoed in the empty streets. The sleeping Imperial City is like a lion waking up from a dream, stretching its strong limbs.

On the military road of the palace, the neat queue of gold-armored soldiers also started a new round of procession, and the ministers of the early dynasty also flocked to the palace hall in groups of three or five.

It was the central hub of the entire empire, where His Majesty the Emperor and his ministers discussed state affairs.

It is different from the court layout of ancient China.

In the council hall, in addition to the dragon chair where the emperor sits, comfortable seats are also arranged for the ministers.

The seating is also very particular.

On the left is the Wenchen, and on the right is the military general.

However, generally speaking, these civil ministers and generals are only the major generals of the regular legion, and they do not include Sword Saint powerhouses like Qingcheng and Lan Yi.

They are located on the left and right sides of His Majesty the Emperor, and they look as if they are the emperor's bodyguards.

It's just that their actions are one step lower than the emperor's dragon chair.

However, it is this small step that appropriately highlights the dignity and majesty of His Majesty the Emperor.

And sitting on his left and right sides were Qingcheng Lanyi and other cores far away, and Qingshan, who was a sword saint, was naturally one of them.

Coming to Wanluo Continent, it was the first time for Qingshan to participate in such a large-scale court meeting.

This made him somewhat curious.

You must know that in normal times, Juggernauts rarely attend such meetings.

Normally, it is the emperor who directly issues any tasks to them, and if it is a really hot matter, at most it is just to gather all the sword saints to discuss in the inner court.

Like today, the civil and military officials plus the sword saints are all present together, and there is only one situation, and there is something major happening over there.

Aoyama looked around, this was the first time he had seen a high-level official in the Lanchi Empire other than the Sword Master.

On the left are 22 ministers of civil affairs, and on the right are 18 generals of the legions.

It can be said that all the important figures of the Lanchi Empire, including the Sword Master, are gathered here.

At this moment, these people are all solemn or nervous.

Everyone looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair - Lan Zai!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Qi Tian City has gathered more than 100,000 cavalry troops on the Qi Tian Prairie." Lan Zai said: "Also, the main infantry corps of the four cities that was originally stationed in Xinlonggang, the port of Ripple Suman, is also heading towards the meeting of Menglai City. ”

"Ahh Everyone in the audience was shocked.

"Could it be that Qi Tiancheng wants to gather all the forces and launch a general attack?" It was a tall middle-aged general in the ranks of military generals who spoke.

He has a Chinese face, a flat head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a typical military image, and the standard of the golden sword on his shoulder plus three gangs, indicating that his military rank is the head of the regiment of the golden sword Sanxian (equivalent to the rank of general).

Qingshan's mind immediately showed up the information of this person.

Bosman - male, 55 years old, silver great sword master, commander of the First Cavalry Regiment of the Lanch Empire, also known as the (Lava Legion).

The countries of the Wanluo Continent are in public, and the commander of a legion is equivalent to the commander of a modern military region, in charge of a large number of regular troops.

It has been more than two years since he came to this world, and Aoyama has also gained a certain understanding of the combat patterns between the regular corps in this world.

Wanluo Continent, a world where demonic beasts are rampant, is not a rare thing to fight horse beasts here, so the most cavalry is one of the most common types of troops in this world

Generally speaking, in the field state, cavalry is the mainstay.

Infantry only had the opportunity to appear in public during siege and defensive battles.

In the cavalry, the blast furnace cavalry is the most popular, because the blast furnace war beast in the Wanluo Continent is the most widely distributed and easiest to raise and teach.

It is also because of the wide distribution of blast furnace war beasts that the number of cavalry in the Wanluo Continent far exceeds the number of infantry in the army establishment.

This makes the army of Wanluo Continent also have strong field combat capabilities and mobile combat capabilities.

In a battle, thousands of cavalry charge and duel, that is a common thing.

The larger one is a cavalry duel of more than 20,000 or 30,000.

However, this time the intelligence showed that the number of cavalry gathered in the Qitian Grassland was actually as high as more than 100,000, which was almost equivalent to the cavalry strength of ten regular legions.

With such a staggering number of cavalry units put together, there is only one explanation.

What the other side is going to launch is a cavalry-based, point-to-point attack operation.

"The closest to the Qitian Grassland is Chutian City, and Chutian City is also the gateway city to my Zhongtian City, their first battle will definitely attack Chutian City!" Bosman said: "If they break through Chutian City, the remaining Chutian Great Plains will be left to them to gallop, and they will be able to attack Shentian City in three days at most." ”

"In addition to Chu Tian City, we must also guard against them from launching an attack on Xiantian City at any time." Another general beside Bosman also stood up, this person's name is Lang Cai, he is the commander of the Second Legion, and the information shows that he is also a general who can fight well, so he naturally has a certain strategic vision: "Neither Chutian City nor Xiantian City can be broken by them. ”

"Yes, the Military Strategy Department has simulated the evolution pattern of the strategy, and the probability of them storming Chutian City and Xiantian City is very high, whether it is Xiantian City or Chutian City is once they break through, with our actions, it is too late to complete the assembly of the army." Lan Zai said in a deep voice: "So Chu Tiancheng can't be lost no matter what, if it is true, if it can't be held, it must at least last for the maximum three days, so as to buy time for the gathering of troops and troops of the large army!" ”

Everyone in the hall was also talking.

But the green hills on the side are a little cloudy.

"Master, all the cavalry gathered on the Qi Tiancheng side should not have the ability to siege the city, why are you so nervous." Castle Peak Road.

"Who said cavalry can't storm a city." Qing Ming looked at Qingshan and hesitated.

"Is that so?" Qingshan was stunned and said: "In our hometown, cavalry is used for field battles, and if you attack the city, you still rely on infantry. ”

"It seems that you don't know much about the mode of combat between the regular arms." Although Qing Ming wondered why Qing Shan didn't even understand these common senses, he still carefully explained to Qing Shan the combat patterns of the cavalry and infantry in this world.

Through Qing Ming's introduction, Qingshan finally understood what he was wrong with.

In the world of Wanluo, the mobile power of cavalry is unquestionable.

But this does not mean that the speed of the infantry is not good.

In fact, the combat mode of the world army of Wanluo is far more advanced than that of ancient China.

Even the infantry marching mode has a dedicated, troop carrier.

This kind of troop transport chariot is equivalent to a horse-drawn carriage, except that they are larger than ordinary horse-drawn carriages.

Blast Furnace War Beasts, large in size, incredibly fast, and even more rare is that they also have a strong weight-bearing capacity and the endurance to run for a long time.

A troop transport chariot is usually pulled by two blast furnace beasts.

The troop transport chariot pulled by these two blast furnace beasts could easily hold ten infantrymen, including weapons and armor, as well as dry rations and medicines for the march.

Therefore, although the mobility of the infantry is not as good as that of the cavalry, it is by no means like Aoyama imagined that they rely on two legs to hurry, and their speed of movement is only a step slower than that of the cavalry.

This is also why everyone was so nervous when they learned that Qi Tiancheng had suddenly concentrated a large number of cavalry.

Because these 100,000 cavalry can be transformed into troop transport chariots at any time, transporting a large number of infantry to Chutian City in a steady stream.

And Chu Tiancheng, who was defenseless against this, was almost impossible to defend it.

"Therefore, if you want to rely on the regular corps, it is too late to support Chu Tiancheng and Xiantian City." Lan Zai said: "The strategic deployment made by the Military Strategy Department is to dispatch the Sword Saint to assist in the defense of Chutian City and Xiantian City, and at the same time let the legions from all over the country quickly rush to Chutian City to support. ”

"In other words, rely on the power of the Juggernaut to buy time for the assembly of the regular legions." Bosman Road.

"Not bad!" Lan then looked at Qingcheng and the others: "It's all up to you this time." ”

"The ministers will not disgrace their lives." Qingcheng Qingshan got up and took the order.

"But Qi Tiancheng must have expected us to make this move." Bosman said, "Won't they also send the Sword Master to participate in the siege battle?" ”

"It can't be helped." Lan Zai said: "This battle will evolve into a big melee between the Sword Master and the regular corps, so you must be mentally prepared." ”

"Yes!" The crowd shouted in unison.

After all, this is a big war, whether it is logistics supply or marching scheduling, it is very complicated, and it is not something that can be said in a few words.

By the time the strategic deployment meeting was over, it was already two hours later.

The pre-war subordinate is finally over.

The ministers of civil and military affairs dispersed.

However, the ten Sword Masters were left behind by Lan Zai.

Obviously, Lan Zai has other arrangements for Qingshan and the others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time Qi Tiancheng is fierce, and in terms of strategy, they have already taken the lead, which makes us only passively defensive." Lan Zaidao.

"What the emperor means is that we must find a way to reverse this passive situation." Lan Yun said thoughtfully.

"Yes." Lan Zai said: "The subordinates just now are only subordinates made for the regular corps, and after the detailed planning of the military strategy department, there is another secret move." ”

"What dark chess." Lan Yi became interested.

"Anti-customer-oriented." Lan Zai said in a deep voice.

"How to do it." Qingshan also wanted to know what the senior staff members of the Military Strategy Department thought of paying attention.

"This time, the tactics adopted by Qi Tiancheng are to concentrate superior forces and quickly advance tactics behind people, and its fundamental purpose is to catch us off guard." Lan Zai said: "However, there is an obvious flaw in this tactic, that is, after their forces are concentrated, the other defense areas will definitely be empty, and at this time, as long as there is a mobile force deep behind the enemy, it will definitely be able to turn their rear upside down." ”

"Does the emperor mean to send an elite army to infiltrate their rear and cause sabotage?" Lan Yun guessed.

"Exactly." Lan Zaidao.

"This plan is a good idea, but it is not easy to implement." Lan Yi said: "There can't be too many troops behind enemy lines, otherwise it will be easy to expose the target, and it will affect the excitement, but the number of troops sent is too small to form enough combat power at all, plus the lone army is deep, it is no different from sending it to death." ”

"So this force, which goes deep behind enemy lines, must be the best of the best." Lan Zaidao.

"Easy to say." Lan Yi muttered angrily: "Go there to find the elite of the elite, you must know that going deep behind enemy lines is not as good as local operations, logistics and supply, intelligence reconnaissance, and so on, and you have to rely on yourself to solve it, and the difficulty is not ordinary." ”

"It's really hard to find such elite troops, but my Ranchi Empire is not without them." Lan said this, and looked at Qingshan Eye with great meaning.

"Your Majesty, you don't want my Yihe Palace Guards to carry out this task." Qingshan was a little furious by Lan Zai's strange eyes.

"Not bad." Lan Zai smiled slightly.

"What a joke." Qingshan almost jumped up: "How long does it take for my Yi and Gong to regroup, and the entire army adds up to more than five thousand people, such a force going deep behind enemy lines is simply sending people to death." ”

It's not that Aoyama is afraid of death, but in his opinion, this plan is too ridiculous.

Lan no longer glared at Qingshan angrily: "The Military Strategy Department chose you after countless researches. ”

"Yes." Qingcheng also spoke: "Actually, this mission is not very demanding for the cavalry troops under him, and the real difficulty is to select the right generals, and we choose to think you are the most suitable." ”

"Why me?" Aoyama was stunned.

"Because you have a unique remote sensing ability, I remember that your sensing ability has a distance range of five hundred miles." Qingcheng said: "There is no need to march and fight, tracking and hunting between masters, and thousands of combat troops move, in this case, your remote sensing ability will play a vital role, if I have your sensing ability, even if I only give me five hundred horses, I still dare to go deep behind the enemy and kill in all directions." ”

"Do you mean to let me use my sensing ability to go deep behind enemy lines and carry out guerrilla warfare?" Aoyama quickly understood Qingcheng's intentions.

"That's right, if you go deep behind enemy lines, you will constantly engage in sabotage, cut off the enemy's logistical supply when necessary, and reduce the pressure on the frontal combat of our large army." Lan Zai said excitedly: "As long as you can turn the rear of Qi Tiancheng upside down, you will be a great achievement." ”

Doesn't sound like a big deal!

Aoyama secretly thought about it in his heart.

Indeed, as Qingcheng said, his unique sensing ability is simply a perverted radar cheat against the sky.

If you adopt guerrilla tactics, you don't have to worry about being ambushed and making dumplings.

You must know that the march of a large army, no matter how concealed it is, it is impossible for the breath to escape the induction of the bioradar.

In such a state, the strength of the troops within a radius of 500 miles will be clearly controlled.

As long as you adopt suitable guerrilla tactics, you are almost invincible.

If you win, you can fight, and if you can't win, you can run, it's not difficult at all!

"Okay, I'll take over the task." Qingshan knew that he would definitely not be able to push off this task, but he was somewhat unconfident when he led the troops for the first time: "Your Majesty, can you send me another helper." ”

"It's nature!" Lan Zai smiled slightly: "This time, Lan Yi will be your helper." ”

"I'm acting with Aoyama." Lan Yidao was surprised.

"Not bad." Lan Zai said: "With the combination of you and Qingshan, unless you run into the Starburst Sword Saint, no one can help but not win you." ”

The head-to-head confrontation between Jinghu Island and Chiyang had already made Lan see Qingshan's terrifying auxiliary ability again.

His Phantom Wyvern is enough for any Juggernaut master to retreat.

And Lan Yi is also full of confidence in this.

Qingshan was also overjoyed and said: "With the help of the eldest lady and the flying dragon, even if I meet the King of Qi, I will have the strength to fight." ”

"Hahahaha." Lan Zai also laughed heartily: "Of course, it's up to you this time." ”

"Without further ado, you should set off immediately, take the road directly, Mura City, enter the Qintian City Defense Area, and start the battle from there."

"Yes." Lan Yi and Qingshan led the order in unison.

Walking out of the main hall, Qingshan looked in the direction of Yihe Palace with some nostalgia.

Originally, I thought I could take a long vacation for a while, but Qingshan couldn't help complaining, it seems that he was born to work hard, and it is rare to have a time to enjoy Qingfu.

"Be careful." Qing Ming was obviously still a little uneasy about Qingshan, so he also took the opportunity to advise: "Marching and fighting is not better than fighting alone, paying attention to strategies and strategies, you should try to consult as much as possible in this regard, Yin Peng and You Fang's opinions They are both very good military strategy masters, and you can also ask Commander Lan Yi for advice on the tips of commanding the army." ”

"The disciple remembered." Qingshan continued: "Master, you yourself should also be more careful. ”

"Yes." Qing Ming nodded slightly.

"Behave well." Qingcheng said: "We are waiting for your triumphant return." ”

"Don't worry." Aoyama continued, "You have to come on, too." ”
