Chapter 88: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help clapping his hands and said, nodded slightly, and then seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was saying to Ark: "Very good, very good!" Ark, Baras, you two, you really didn't disappoint me. Judging from your current appearance, I am very satisfied. Now, our outpost position is under construction, and our comprehensive strength is also being restored. I think it won't be long before our attack on the Iliad begins. ”
At this time, in the distance, the camp of the Iliad tribe was faintly located, and said to Liu Qingshan: "The commander of the rescuer is so wise to command, I think that although we have driven straight into this Thracian region, the Iliad is not our opponent at all. In addition, here, we have a lot of friends, such as the Aryan tribes. We are not alone here, and our military power is rising rapidly, so we may be 100 percent sure that we will win this battle. ”
Now, for Liu Qingshan, it is a period of accumulation of strength. On the one hand, its own tank workshop, some key technical mitigations, are being studied by a team of senior engineers under the leadership of Guò Pitt. Soon after, a breakthrough will be possible. In addition, the cavalry training camp, under the personal management of General Baras, was training its own cavalry combat units.
Although, Liu Qingshan knew that relatively speaking, the light cavalry combat unit was far inferior to the heavy cavalry. However, those economic combat units also have their own strengths. That is, it is highly mobile, fast, and able to achieve a wide range of penetrating breakthroughs, especially in assault operations, and has characteristics that other combat forces cannot have.
In short, now, all the qiē is proceeding in an orderly manner, and preparations are being made for the eventual onslaught on the Iliad tribes. And as time went by, Liu Qingshan's information became more and more sufficient, although, through many reconnaissances, he had found that the Iliad tribe was also strengthening military preparations, but, on the one hand, Liu Qingshan believed that he was sure to surpass the other party in terms of military strength. On the other hand, after all, in this Thracian region, there are Aryan tribes as their most important allies, whose help will play a decisive role in the necessary moment.
------------------------
It's been a few days. According to a report from Baras, his chariot workshop, under the overnight research of a team of senior engineers led by Mr. Pitt, finally broke through some key technical mitigations, and one of the simplest long-range attack weapons, the siege catapult, can be produced. Although the speed is not very fast because it has just been produced, and mass production cannot be carried out, after all, the production capacity of this kind of engineering simultaneous vehicle has been mastered, and in the near future, this siege catapult, as a new type of long-range attack weapon, can be equipped with Liu Qingshan's combat troops. This is undoubtedly very good news for Liu Qingshan.
------------------------
In addition, there is also important news, that is, according to the information provided by Barak, the cavalry training camp has now trained more than thirty light cavalry. Although these light cavalry are still in the training stage, and their actual combat ability is not very strong, if it takes time, it will take up to ten days before they can fully devote themselves to the battle.
After finding a time, Liu Qingshan ordered the two generals, Barak and Yake, and summoned some officers above the middle level to come to his Chinese army tent, and Liu Qingshan decided to treat them. Liu Qingshan knew that the war career was full of blood, full of swords and swords, and every moment, there would be a relatively white danger. Therefore, although they are all hot-blooded soldiers, full of iron-blooded hearts, they always regard the conquest of the battlefield as the greatest glory of their lives.
However, then again, people are human beings after all, and a long career in war will definitely put people in a state of high psychological tension. Liu Qingshan knows that if they are in such a state of tension for a long time, then, even in normal people, their hearts will be perverted. In this way, in a small way, it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. In the big picture, if they are not careful, these high-ranking officers will develop a rebellious mentality, or become war-weary, or even betray themselves, and this situation may occur.
Therefore, in this case, Liu Qingshan felt that it was necessary to be different from them after a long time. There are all kinds of different kinds of passing, and there should be a certain amount of dù to be able to eliminate all kinds of negative influences. Therefore, it was from this aspect that Liu Qingshan decided to squeeze those middle-level and above generals Zhao into his Chinese army tent, and communicate with them through a banquet. At the same time, we should seize this opportunity to strengthen the ideological and political building of our own troops. This point, for Liu Qingshan, is his forte-
After everyone arrived, Liu Qingshan's big tent of the Chinese army was full and looked very crowded. This is a great honor for most of the mid-level officers to be called into the tent of the Chinese army under their commander-in-chief. Yes, it is. In comparison, Liu Qingshan is their supreme commander and the head of their military base. Such a banquet is of such a high standard, and a discerning person can see it at once.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan clearly saw that except for Barak and Ark, the other middle and high-ranking generals looked sincerely frightened and looked very unaccustomed. It is no wonder that the vast majority of the people they concentrate do not have the opportunity or qualification to come to this place in normal times. For them, their supreme commander, in general, is General Barak. As for Liu Qingshan, it can even be said that they don't even have the opportunity to meet in peacetime, let alone since they were invited to Liu Qingshan's Chinese army tent.
Liu Qingshan could naturally see everyone's crampedness, he smiled and waved his hand to everyone, and then said: "Don't be nervous, everyone, although I am your commander-in-chief, you are also the most effective cadres under my command." Today, I have prepared a banquet for everyone, and I would like to have a meal with you, and I would like to talk to you about your recent living conditions. Don't be too nervous, now, we are comrades-in-arms, brothers in robe, and in the roar of robe. Come, let's all raise our glasses together and toast to our life and death! As he spoke, Liu Qingshan took the lead in picking up the wine glass and drank it all.
To be honest, under such circumstances, all the military generals, including Yak and Barras, were very moved by Liu Qingshan's compassion for his subordinates. Immediately after, everyone picked up the wine glasses in their hands and drank them all. Subsequently, all the military generals said that although the war was fought in this Thracian region, they would overcome the difficulties and fight bravely to win the war.
Liu Qingshan was very satisfied with these statements of the generals. Subsequently, Liu Qingshan only accepted and said to everyone: "Fortunately, generals, I am very pleased that you can have such an open-mindedness, such an idea, and such an attitude." After the victory of the war, each of you will receive a prize of 3,000 gold coins. And do what you say. I hope that you can boost morale, obey the command, and fight bravely to kill the enemy, so as to ensure the final victory in this counterinsurgency battle. "
Then, looking at the generals under his command, they turned around and left one after another, returning to their posts, and were simply greeted by this big battle, Liu Qingshan's face showed a smile that was not easy to detect. Now, he already had a vague feeling that although the battle had not yet begun, he was already full of confidence, and it could even be said that he had taken the lead in the battle from a certain kind of Cheng Dù. Winning is already a matter of time. Although, in the course of the battle, various situations may arise, and the battlefield changes rapidly, which is actually very normal. Liu Qingshan believed that on the outside, with allies such as the Aryan tribes, and on the inside, these generals under his command followed him with all their hearts, loyal and heroic, and he believed that victory was coming to him.
-------------------------
Two days later, there was a report from the Malay Search, and it was found that the Iliad troops had changed unusually. After hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but stand up suddenly. Yes, since the arrival of the large army set by themselves in this Thracian region, the tribes of the Iliads, basically, have been busy with their own military construction and have not acted rashly. As for Liu Qingshan, since the other party did not act rashly, then, when he did not have sufficient confidence, he naturally would not act rashly.
On the one hand, with the help of this opportunity, he can further develop his economy and expand his military power, and on the other hand, it must wait for the opportunity to find a better period before it can send troops. Otherwise, it is likely to backfire. Now, now that the Iliad has acted, does this mean that the opportunity has finally come for them?
Yuan City, after thinking of this, Liu Qingshan hurriedly asked: "To continue the investigation, we must find out, where exactly are the Iliad troops moving, and what should be their purpose?" "
Soon after, the Tanma came again to report that they had finally discovered that the Iliad troops were moving in the direction of the Aryan tribes. In this case, the shape shì has become very clear. It is clear that the Iliads were planning to attack the Aryan tribes. After thinking of this, Liu Qingshan resolutely ordered: "Inform General Barras to immediately gather troops and quickly reinforce the Aryan tribe." "
Under such circumstances, Liu Qingshan knew that his sending troops to reinforce the Aryan tribe was the best opportunity to further win over the Aryans. Although before that, he had sent a mission to the Aryan tribes, and had received a promise from the Aryan tribes that they would be of the same mind to each other, and that no matter which side was threatened, the other side must send troops to support them unconditionally.
However, after all, it is a promise and does not have much practical significance. When it comes to the end, even if the other party does not send troops, then what can you do? Especially in these turbulent situations, anything can happen. And now, the Iliad's attack on the Aryans, they can take advantage of this opportunity to go to the crew of the Aryan tribe, so that no matter what the outcome is, the Aryan tribe will really stand on their side. This is undoubtedly a very important thing for yourself.
Instructions, there is one thing that Liu Qingshan did not understand, that is, why the Iliads did not attack themselves first, but actually attacked the Aryans; Could it be that it is simply because the Aryans are relatively weak, but this does not seem to be tenable. For the Iliads should have known that their troops had come to Thrace, and they should also understand the relationship they had given to the Aryan tribes. Once they attacked the Aryan tribes, did they not think that they would send troops to support? This series of questions made Liu Qingshan frown, and he even came up with a reason for a while.
-------------------------
By this time, Baras had gathered his forces and was preparing to send troops to reinforce the Aryan tribes. However, it was at this time that Tanma came again to report that the Iliad had now returned to their tribe. And judging from the current situation, there are no signs that they will act again.
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel that his head was much bigger for a while. What the hell is this hateful Iliad up with? It is clear that troops have been dispatched, and the direction of the troops is very clear, that is, directly at the Aryan tribe. But now, there is a return to their tribe, and they have not moved for a long time. What kind of medicine is sold in their gourd?
"What do you think of Ballas's strong enemy?" At this time, Liu Qingshan looked at General Barras, who was already ready to stop, and asked him this question.
At this time, Barras also looked frowning, and it seemed that he was also puzzled by this question. Hearing Liu Qingshan ask him again, after pondering for a while, he still said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, I think it is very likely that this is a suspicious plan deliberately put up by the Iliad to us for a while. Seeing that we had not sent troops for a long time, the other side deliberately sent their troops to check our reaction out of wanting to test our movements. I don't think there could be any more appropriate reason for that. "
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but nodded. Yes, General Barras's analysis is still very reasonable. Because beyond that, it is true, and there is no more appropriate explanation. However, Liu Qingshan deduced from this that it was the Iliad side, and now it seems that he is a little out of breath. The more this is the case, Liu Qingshan feels that now, opportunities are coming to him step by step. However, again, I must not act rashly now. is the so-called braked, to respond to all changes with the same, but it is also Liu Qingshan's best combat method.
"Commander, what should we do now?" At this time, General Barras asked Liu Qingshan.
Yes, it's no wonder, after all, now that Liu Qingshan has gathered the troops, you must know that every time the foundation of the troops, it is not child's play. If you don't do it right, you will lose morale, which is a big taboo in battle. As the saying goes, one blow, and then three times and exhaustion. That's what I'm saying. Liu Qingshan is naturally very clear about this. He also knew what General Barras meant.
So, Liu Qingshan wanted to say to Baras: "Baras is entangled, since our troops have been assembled, then, if we don't move, it seems that we can't say anything." Well, since the Iliad played a feint with us just now, then, let's play a feint with him as well. However, our target, as far as the other camp, is halfway through the attack, and then turns back and throws back, and I will see how this cunning Iliad reacts. "
Hearing this, General Barras smiled and continued: "The commander is really very famous, so that on the one hand, we can probe the reality of the north, and on the other hand, come and not be rude. Let the other party know that we are not easy to mess with. "
------------------------
So, then, the army of Barasschwei's tent attacked straight in the direction of the Iliad. Moreover, because most of Liu Qingshan's combat troops are cavalry, the speed is very fast, and it looks like a sharp sword, and the offensive is fierce, as if it will attack the opponent's camp at any time.
Yes, for Liu Qingshan, this is actually building momentum. However, he knows that in fact, this kind of "momentum" is also a strategy. Now, I want to put this strategy to good use. Fighting a war is not always a matter of relying solely on force to solve problems.
