Chapter 211: The Wolf Tooth Army
If this team is not well trained after all, how efficient can it be if it is a group of militia? So now that an hour has passed, the tents for the march and battle have still not been fully prepared, let alone the stoves!
Now Jingrui and their side have done it in advance, and now they have nothing to do, so they just walk around outside the tent in order to familiarize themselves with the terrain.
But soon he realized that something was wrong: "This is not a good place to set up camp, or we should set up another place!"
"Yes, it's really not a good place, I know. But for now, we can only set up a village here, don't you believe you can see where else there are other suitable places to set up a village?" Zhao Yulong nodded and affirmed Jing Rui's question.
"However, it is surrounded by water to the west, mountains to the south, and the enemy camp to the north, so we have no place to run if the enemy army attacks. After all, there is not even a boat on this water, and once the enemy army comes from the east, we will surely be the result of total annihilation. "Meng Liang, who has been learning to lead troops for so long, naturally understands the danger of this terrain now.
Meng Liang's words are indeed very reasonable, but Zhao Yulong does not plan to transfer places: "It is true that stationing here will cut off our own back roads, but if you think about it from another side, if the back roads continue, will they fight to the death?"
This is a real problem, because these soldiers are not soldiers who have been trained for a long time. In fact, many of them are militiamen who were temporarily selected because of the current border emergency, and there are still people they care about in their hometowns.
For a person, since there is concern, there will be fear. Afraid that she will die and not see the person she cares about, afraid that she will be sad for herself.
So now once the war starts, these soldiers will definitely run away when they see that the situation is wrong, after all, it is important for them to stay alive.
Therefore, once the camp is set up on flat ground, if the enemy army attacks, it will definitely all retreat and try to escape. Pressing is completely different here, because the back road is blocked from the start.
And at this time, there is only one possibility to survive, and that is the enemy retreating. So in such a situation, they will definitely put their lives on the line in order to live. Because desperate may not be alive, but fear will definitely die.
Thinking of this, Meng Liang understood Zhao Yulong's wisdom, and this trick was indeed very useful. Because he made the three possibilities in the hearts of the soldiers become two, and these two are a great victory or a total annihilation.
It's just that now he still can't rest assured: "The people's hearts can be obtained, but we may not be able to win without geographical advantages, after all, camping near the river is a big taboo!"
"I know what you mean, you're afraid we'll be flooded before we even start the war. Don't worry, the dam is in the Imperial Kingdom, and even the people of the Yueli Kingdom may not be able to destroy the dam, so there is no need to worry about the enemy army coming to attack the dam!"
"In that case, then there is not much of a problem, since we are not afraid of flooding, and we are not afraid of soldiers escaping, then we don't have much to worry about. Seeing that Zhao Yulong thought more thoroughly than himself, Meng Liang now also felt what it meant to be ashamed.
But it's nothing to think about it like this, after all, Zhao Yulong is the reincarnation of Emperor Wu, which is different from ordinary people, so it's not unusual to have such talents.
Now that there are no worries, it is time to return to the camp, after all, it is not too early. And the tents of these soldiers have finally been set up, and now they are ready to eat.
However, Zhao Yulong stopped everyone, which really made these soldiers a little confused. Although they don't know how to call Zhao Yulong now, they see that their leader Meng Liang has a lot of respect for Zhao Yulong, so they think that Zhao Yulong is a great power.
So these soldiers now gave Zhao Yulong a non-standard military salute, and then asked, "General, do you have any orders?"
General, Zhao Yulong really didn't think about this word. Although it was only two short words, it always made Zhao Yulong feel a sense of sacredness. Yes, this is one of the several characters that Zhao Yulong respects the most.
The first is an emperor who is as worried about the country and the people as Emperor Wu, and the other is an iron-hearted general who has been stationed at the border for decades.
So now that he is called like this, Zhao Yulong feels that a responsibility and a mission are placed on him, but the sacred is sacred, and the affairs of these soldiers still have to be ordered, after all, his plan must not be disrupted.
"It's nothing, it's just that each of you adds a few more stoves, and when you're done with all of them, you all light them all, and then you just have to eat around a few stoves. Zhao Yulong looked into the distance as he spoke, as if he was worried about something.
"Why?" This made these soldiers a little incomprehensible, generally marching and fighting are a stove and a few soldiers dug it, but Zhao Yulong here is an order for a soldier to dig a few stoves, which really makes them feel strange: "We don't need so many people." ”
Yes, it really doesn't take that much, because at least three or four soldiers sit and eat together on a stove. There has never been a situation where a soldier has a stove, let alone a soldier who eats on several stoves.
However, Zhao Yulong obviously has his own arrangements, so now he answered: "There are not so many reasons in the army, the night by the river is cold, it is better for you to make more fires, otherwise you will be too cold to get up at night." ”
Obviously, Zhao Yulong didn't plan to explain anything, but he was afraid that these soldiers would be unwilling, so he casually said something that didn't have much logic and ordered the soldiers.
These soldiers had never fought much in the first place, so now what Zhao Yulong said should be what it is. And I feel that what Zhao Yulong said is not unreasonable, after all, they are all military uniforms made of coarse cloth, and now they do feel a little cold at night here.
So since Zhao Yulong had already ordered, everyone began to do it.
But obviously, Jingrui would not believe that Zhao Yulong was really this reason, so he asked Zhao Yulong directly: "I believe that your purpose is definitely not to keep warm." Because making such a large fire is actually not as effective as making a small fire in the tent. ”
"Yes, it is true that the purpose of these fires is not for this purpose, but these stoves must be dug. I knew that it would be too late for these soldiers to do such a large amount of work, but that was what I wanted. ”
"Why?" Although Jing Rui already knew Zhao Yulong very well, there would always be some actions that they couldn't guess when they saw Zhao Yulong commanding the battle.
"Because tonight the enemy will come and attack the team stationed here, and it is not clear which team will attack first. However, it is certain that they will definitely use a quick approach, so they will definitely choose to attack the teams that can't make it to the rescue. As he spoke, Zhao Yulong pointed to the military flag on the mountain in the distance.
Although in this battlefield, the military flag planted in the soil is not very conspicuous. But the flag stood out because it was new and planted straight, apparently only on the hill today.
And this military flag is definitely not the military flag of the imperial kingdom, because it is a wolf head, and the imperial kingdom worships birds. Therefore, this military flag is not only not the flag of the Imperial State, but also definitely not the flag of the vassal state of the Celestial Clan.
And on this land of Dongsheng Shenzhou, in addition to the vassal states of the Heavenly Clan, only the vassal states of the Demon Clan remain. Therefore, this war must not be allowed to expand, otherwise it will not be a grudge between two countries, but a war between two races!
But fortunately, it doesn't seem to be so serious now, because this border violation country is not the number one among the vassal countries of the demon race. Therefore, this kind of small country demon clan generally does not take too much care, and now it is this kind of small country that has actually caused the imperial country to recruit soldiers, which shows how far the imperial country has fallen now.
"These are the marching banners of the Wolves Tooth Army! In this way, we are likely to be attacked tonight, for our group seems to be the smallest and least likely to escape. ”
"Yes, that's right, our numbers are bound to make them think we're not easy to deal with. So now we have to make them feel that we are not easy to deal with, or we will lose a lot tonight. ”
"How is this good, but is there any way to deter the enemy?" After all, these soldiers were all brought out by Meng Liang, and Meng Liang naturally knew how many disciples there were. Although they may really kill the enemy without fear of death in this environment at the moment, they are too weak after all, and how can a hundred or so people in total be able to deal with the opponent's army of 10,000 people.
However, Zhao Yulong replied easily: "Aren't these stoves a good way?"
"Stoves, can deter the enemy? This is unlikely! They are not capable of fighting. Obviously, Meng Liang didn't believe Zhao Yulong's words.
"It's not combat-capable, but they can make the enemy think that we have a lot of people. After all, according to common sense, there are five people on one stove, and we have so many stoves here, and only the light of the fire can be seen from a distance, what will they think?"
As soon as Zhao Yulong's words came out, Meng Liang felt that he had just woken up from a big dream. Yes, that's true, after all, everyone is used to tradition. Therefore, judging the number of people must also be judged by the number of stoves, and according to Zhao Yulong's orders, there are at least several thousand stoves dug, so according to traditional thinking, the scale of this team is not small!
"It's a good idea, but it's going to take a lot of time for us to dig so many stoves, and it's estimated that we can only make a fire and cook after the night. ”
"Almost, their attacks didn't come until late at night, so of course it was best to dig late at night. Speaking of which, Zhao Yulong was relaxed and took Meng Liang to dig up the stove together.
In the middle of the night, all these stoves had been dug up, and now the entire camp was almost full of pits. Now there was a fire burning directly above the pits, and it was so magnificent, and the whole camp seemed to be illuminated in the light of the fire.
Seeing that everything was finally done, the already hungry soldiers were cooking dinner in groups of threes and twos, unaware that there were many pairs of eyes looking at this place in the distance.
The costumes of these people are very deliberate, and they are completely different from the clothing style of the entire imperial kingdom. It is clear that they are the armies of other countries, and now they are watching the camp of this imperial state.
The spies who had only been watching at a glance stopped their eyes there after seeing Zhao Yulong's military camp, and then called the wolf tooth general in the army.
"What's wrong?" the general was looking at the sand table and thinking about the route of the attack, and if he was interrupted by this spy, he was naturally unhappy. But the spy naturally wouldn't bother him casually, so he knew that there was definitely something important to discover, so he patiently went to the mountains with the scout.
"General, look there, they are still cooking on the fire so late, is there any problem. ”
After he finished speaking, General Wolf Fang also looked in the direction he pointed, and soon saw Zhao Yulong's military camp. There is no way, there are no lights in other military camps late this night, and the bonfire in Zhao Yulong's military camp is bright.
So now the general is also feeling a headache, yes, he has led the army for so many years and has encountered countless opponents, so he naturally knows which people are easy to deal with and which ones are difficult to deal with.
And now Zhao Yulong is obviously the kind of person who is difficult to deal with in his heart, which makes him feel a little troubled: "Who told me before that the people who came to the imperial kingdom this time are all fools who can't fight, stand up!"
Seeing that General Wolf Fang suddenly became angry, the soldiers below were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, so no one answered the general's words in half a ring.
It wasn't until the spy in the back grew bold that he whispered: "It seems that someone from the intelligence department said it, and we don't know much about it." ”
Hearing the intelligence department, the general lost his temper again: "These people can only eat dry food, and it is a waste of military food to hunt wolves and raise them! Forget it, this has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to be afraid of it." ”
To say that it is not easy to say that people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, just now they were still angry, but now they are full of smiles, and this change of face is much faster than that of singing.
However, seeing that the general's temper was better now, the spies had the courage to ask: "What's wrong with the general, is there something wrong with this barracks?"
Because his temper had been somewhat restrained, General Wolf Tooth did not yell again, but said very seriously: "I have met a difficult opponent to deal with, he is definitely a wizard in the military world. ”
"Wizard!" would have been easy for others to say, but it was a little different from the words of the Wolf Tooth General.
Because for a battle-hardened general, the enemy who can make him praise in private is definitely not ordinary, and even his military talents are much stronger than his own.
"Yes! He must have guessed that we were going to attack tonight, so he deliberately lit a fire to eat so late, in order to catch us all while we were moving. You see that the stoves are so close there, and there is only one possibility in the army that it is convenient for sudden combat. ”
"No, General, they are in a position where they can't escape, we just need to meet them head-on, and we must only meet us, and there is no way to retreat. Apparently his lieutenant thinks differently than he does.
"You think of the enemy too simply, yes they have nowhere to escape, but we have nowhere to escape. You see, not all of their stoves are manned, but how can no one have so many stoves, they must be ambushed. Once we meet it head-on, their ambushers will attack us from behind, and then we will really be in a dilemma!"
"This ......" The lieutenant general wanted to say something, but after seeing the thousands of stoves in Zhao Yulong's camp, he still couldn't say anything.
Yes, according to common sense, the stove is used for cooking on the fire, and it will not be too much. And the fire on these empty stoves has not been extinguished, which means that it should have just finished eating.
And what will the soldiers who have just finished eating do? Thinking of this, the adjutant's scalp was cold, and he was secretly glad that he was not the one who led the troops, otherwise he would definitely die if he rushed in rashly.
"But where should we destroy first tonight? After all, the wolf hunters have demanded that our wolf fangs destroy all the enemy forces tonight. ”
"This ...... There's a camp near the mountain, and we'll start from there tonight, so we should have a better chance of winning, because they're not close to the camp by the river, and they're not going to come to the rescue. ”
After speaking, he pointed to the camp of the silver general, which was the largest camp on the entire border, and it was also the most untidy camp.
After all, there are tens of thousands of recruits, and this is really troublesome to manage. In addition, there was not much time in the first place, so now the tents in the whole camp are stationed as if they are for tourism.
"But our wolf tooth army is only 2,000, but the enemy has tens of thousands, so the odds of victory are not great!"
It is true that in terms of numbers, the Wolf Tooth Army suffered a lot, but General Wolf Tooth was still not very flustered, and just said indifferently: "Sometimes the number of people cannot determine the victory of the war, after all, do you think they really want to fight?"
After speaking, General Wolf Tooth pointed to Zhao Yulong's army, and then pointed to this side again. The meaning is simply to let his lieutenant make a comparison between the two sides, so that he understands that it is easier to attack.
It's good that this comparison is not a comparison, and this comparison has a strong sense of difference. The barracks on one side are neatly planned and still very cautious late at night, while there is not a single patrolling person scattered on the other side, which is obviously obvious at a glance.
"Okay!
