When all was calm, the soldiers quickly assembled and withdrew from the battlefield, and after one last glance at the still burning shed, Tabraki relieved himself with the reins in his hand, turned his horse's head and left. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info their own arrangement was once again successful, the Tang Army's logistical supply lines were really fragile, the poor road traffic conditions limited the mobility of the Tang Army's troops, and the deeper they went south, the more difficult their logistical supply became, and they adopted this method of building simple supply transfer stations along the way, although it was quite practical, but it also brought disaster to themselves, without enough troops to support, these transfer stations became the best prey for their own commandos.
Gillette fiercely whipped the whip in his hand in the grass next to him, the emerald green thatch turned into a few pieces and scattered on the ground, a pair of eyes looked at the situation in front of him and almost sparks, the remnants of the wooden frame were pitch black, still emitting wisps of green smoke, it was too late! It seems that this opponent is really a bit tricky, and the few baits he laid have not been able to impress the other party, but he chose this supply point closest to the border as the target.
"Deputy Commander, the battlefield has been cleared, more than 180 people left behind by our army have all died, and the enemy has twelve corpses left before they have time to take it away, and it is initially estimated that the enemy has retreated to the southwest, and the incident was about two and a half hours ago. ā
The situation report made Gillette even more irritable, but he knew that he couldn't be impatient now, and the more impatient he was, the easier it was to fall into the other party's trap, and now he and the other party were like the relationship between a hunter and a fox, that is, the hunter was more clever, or the fox was more cunning, in addition to wisdom, it was also more than patience.
This opponent probably also sensed the purpose of the shrinkage of his forces, and he didn't swallow any of the two baits he laid in the south, but suddenly pounced on the northern border line and bit himself hard, this is the fifth time that he has been counterattacked by his opponent, and this opponent is not easy to match, so he needs to be more patient.
Try to calm down as much as possible, Gillette analyzed the enemy's movements, and the intelligence confirmed that in addition to the northeast and northwest of Manlon City, there is a 10,000-person team stationed in the northeast and northwest of Manlon City, and there is only one 10,000-person team that does not know where to go, and the remaining 70,000 troops are stationed in Manlon City, it seems that Manlon's military power is still in the hands of Hilliard, and the assault force should be this 10,000-person team.
Judging from the enemy's 10,000-person attack, it should be unlikely that a whole 10,000-person squad will be dispatched, but it is more like it is divided into two assault divisions, that is, one for 5,000 people, and it is impossible to see what choice the opponent has from the law of these five attacks.
The map was spread out, and Gillette's gaze seemed to burn through it. From the Kuiyangba where the first division is now stationed to the north, the withered grass furrow, the shooting star cave, the ghost flag ridge, the Moyun Mountain, and then to the Chihuo Liao in front of it, and all the way to the Liushan Taizi in the territory of Vito Province, this is the supply line of the entire southbound cluster, due to the poor road conditions, some small transfer points had to be set up between these several large supply transfer stations, and the enemy has developed from the early attack on the small supply points to the current open attack on the large transfer station, the enemy's appetite is also getting bigger and bigger, the dry grass has burned at least 4,000 quintals of grain, and now the Chihuo Liao has burned at least 3,000 quintals of grain, although it has not affected the front-line soldiers to eat, but if this phenomenon continues, I'm afraid it won't be good.
Gillette's eyes wandered between these supply transfer stations, and the transfer points that had raised their appetite could no longer arouse the enemy's interest, and they would definitely choose targets in these transfer battles, and it could be ruled out that the first division was stationed in Kuiyangba, and it seemed that Liushan Taizi could also be eliminated in the territory of Vito Province, so only the dry grass furrow, the shooting star cave, the ghost flag ridge, the Moyun Mountain, and the Chihuo Liao where he was now were left.
Chihuo Liao now has no object worthy of the enemy at all, the food has been burned, it can also be eliminated, and there is not much left of the dry grass furrow, it seems that there is only the Shooting Star Cave and the Ghost Flag Ridge and Moyun Mountain, the Shooting Star Cave and the Moyun Mountain now have more grain, the distance is moderate, it should be the enemy's best attack object, but the enemy should also consider that he will make necessary preparations for this possibility, the geographical location of the Ghost Flag Ridge is too far east, the surrounding terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the most suitable for ambush, even if the enemy attacks successfully, it is not easy to retreat, although the enemy is ruthless, but may not dare to be so bold, it should be said that these three places are possible, but precisely the most unlikely.
Gillette's fingers were gently twisted under his chin, and his soft beard became the best substitute for adjusting his mind at this time, and he only had three mountain fast wings in his hands, that is to say, he had to determine the target and hit it with one hit, otherwise once he made a mistake in judgment, he was afraid that he would cause huge losses.
Looking at each of the three places, Gillette tried his best to put himself into the psychology of the enemy's generals to judge, and the three places should be said to be the ambush location of the emperor's [***] team, especially after suffering heavy losses in several places, the emperor's [***] team naturally strengthened its precautions, and may even deliberately set a trap to lure the Luzon army into the bait, just like hide and seek, not only to make the other party not guess their intentions, but also to achieve the goal, which will test the means of the troop leader.
If you are the other party, where will you choose? Shooting Star Cave or Moyun Mountain? The conditions are the most suitable, but it may also be the ambush location of the emperor [***]. Even if Emperor [***] did not set up an ambush here, if Emperor [***] reacted quickly enough and was not far away, it was very likely that he would be bitten by the other party before he had completely evacuated this area.
His eyes inadvertently swept over the Liushan Platform at the top of the map, Gillette's heart moved slightly, the Liushan Platform seemed to be less than ten miles in the territory of Vito Mansion, which was still fifty miles away from Vito Mansion, and a few miles away was the area under the jurisdiction of Manlon, which was now the most important hoarding point for the emperor [***], because further south it was about to enter the Luzon-controlled area, and it became the busiest junction. What if you choose this as your target?
Gillette felt a slight pang in his heart, there is only one brigade of troops stationed here, and the situation in the border area is also more complicated, it seems that it is easy to get cover if you want to infiltrate, the only difficulty is the retreat after the attack, but the Luzon army can first go west and then turn south after completing the attack, and you can avoid your own encirclement. The more Gillette thought about this possibility, the more likely he arrived, and then sent scouts to track and check the route of action after the first two enemy attacks, but the Luzon people were quite careful to hide traces, even if they found out that the time was relatively late, but this time the scouts could clearly understand the direction of the enemy's retreat, which seemed to have a little flavor of wanting to cover up, and deliberately guided his thoughts to the central and southern, and the north, especially in the territory of Vito Province, this possible surname can almost be ruled out, so once the raid, the results achieved are considerable.
"How much grain and supplies are there in Liushan Taizi now?" After pondering for a long time, Gillette felt that he might not dare to let go of this situation easily, judging from the current situation, this possibility is quite large, especially the spirit and decisiveness shown by this troop leader, which is enough to prove that this guy is not an idle person, and will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to make waves.
"Deputy Commander of the Army, Liushan Taizi has just transported 6,000 quintals of grain from Vito Mansion now, plus the original grain, it is estimated that it is close to 10,000 quintals, and a batch of epidemic medicines and insect repellent drugs used in spring and summer have also been transported from Volcano Mansion, and the amount is not small. ā
Gillette's answer made Gillette feel that this possibility was increasing, after all, the Luzon people had been in this land for a hundred years, and the Andean people were still one of the most populous ethnic groups in the region, and it was not difficult for the Luzon people to obtain information in this area, and they could easily obtain this information.
Although other locations may also be the target of the Luzon army, Gillette is already sure in his heart that the enemy will choose this place, the more dangerous the place, the safer, Liushan Taizi is already in the territory of Vito Province, it is precisely in the interior of the area under his own control, the attack can achieve the effect of one fell swoop. So what if there were some responses to the surname?
Liushan Taizi is a dam at the southern end of Vito Fu City, and it is also an important material distribution center at the southern end of Vito Province, the road from Vito Fu to Liushan Taizi has already been completed, and although the road condition is not comparable to those major trade routes across the province, it is also quite good.
Now the Liushan platform seems to have become more lively, since the imperial army entered Vito, it seems to have become the first pass of the empire to the south, a steady stream of food and all kinds of materials gathered here, no one knows what His Royal Highness the King of Qin is doing here, until the army is adjusted and suddenly set off to the south, and in one breath into the East Luzon region sixty or seventy miles, everyone understands that the original empire is using this Liushan platform as a logistics supply station, as a front-line soldiers to provide various services and needs.
And although East Luzon fell into the hands of the emperor almost within a few days, it was at this time that the emperor [***] team fully realized how difficult the road traffic situation was for logistics and supply, from Liushantaizi to Kuiyangba, the poor road conditions and huge traffic volume of this transportation line almost made the personnel of the logistics department go crazy.
