The Yongzhou army appeared near Tianshui County, and the four guards knew about it, but the deputy generals of each guard were completely unaware, and at this time, they heard that even the mountain bandits dared to fight Tianshui County's idea, and they were dumbfounded.

In their eyes, although Tianshui County has few soldiers and horses, its strength is extremely strong, and it is a powerful force that can participate in the battle of the world.

You must know that over the years, mountain bandits and robbers have basically disappeared in Tianshui County.

Most of the mountain bandits fell when they heard the wind, and joined the Changding Army like the bandits of Shuangfeng Mountain, and a few stubborn people left Tianshui County with their families, and now the bandits in Tianshui County are even rarer than national treasures.

With the strength of the mountain bandits, there is no organization at all, let alone 30,000, it is 300,000, in the eyes of the Changding army, it is just a dish, and it will only add labor to the Ministry of Mining and the arsenal.

Chu He glanced at everyone, took their looks in his eyes, and couldn't help frowning slightly, the generals of the Changding Army were a little overconfident.

He couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "These mountain bandits are all old bandits, their strength cannot be underestimated, several bandit leaders, and even have the strength of the fourth-grade martial arts sect, and there are many martial artists in the Blood Condensation Realm under their command, especially the female bandit leader Phoenix Yu, who is the fifth-grade copper furnace grandmaster!"

Qin Shengnan is now only Jiang Wuwei's deputy general, and he didn't know the news before, so he was a little stunned when he heard it.

"A group of 8,000 mountain bandits, the leader of the bandits turned out to be a five-grade grandmaster?"

Qinzhou City has millions of people, and the strongest state on the bright side, that is, the peak level of the fourth grade, even if it is the current Qin Shengnan, who has obtained the golden dragon beard grass, he has just been promoted to the fifth grade grandmaster.

Gan Ning suddenly said: "General Qin doesn't know that this phoenix feather was originally the master of the Southern Barbarian Cave, but he was defeated in the battle with other barbarians, so he led the tribe to escape. A certain family once personally went to spy on this gang of mountain bandits, and there is no doubt that Phoenix Yu is indeed a five-grade grandmaster. ”

Qin Shengnan was immediately relieved, the strength of southern Xinjiang far exceeded that of Qinzhou City, in fact, in Shu State, Qinzhou was only a relatively large county.

A five-grade scholar of the Chen family in Yizhou can show off his martial arts in Qinzhou, and as the master of the cave in southern Xinjiang, it is not surprising that he has the strength of the five grades.

Chu He followed and said: "Now the two groups of mountain bandits are gathered near Yinma Lake, obviously with the attention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, if the Yongzhou army has the upper hand, the mountain bandits will definitely take advantage of the situation to enter Tianshui County and loot!"

When the war began, people everywhere were struggling to make a living, and robbers and bandits were naturally everywhere, and many of them were tens of thousands of people.

The mountain bandits do not produce from the production, all the materials have to be plundered, now this two or three thousand miles in a radius, with a large number of materials only Tianshui County, these mountain bandits have nowhere to plunder, see the Yongzhou army aimed at Tianshui County, the intention of fishing in troubled waters is also normal.

It is very likely that these mountain bandit troops have secret connections with the Yongzhou army.

Chu He then pointed his baton at a small pale red flag in another place: "This is a barbarian soldier from Southern Xinjiang, it should come from Niuyan Cave." ”

"Although the number of this barbarian army is only 10,000, the Niu Yan barbarians have always been strong, they are a small number of barbarians who are not controlled by Meng, and the tribe has more than 300,000 people. ”

Chen Tong is also Jiang Wuwei's deputy general, and like Qin Shengnan, he is a descendant of Chu He, and he can be regarded as the two nails that Chu He put down in Jiang Wuwei, in addition to leading 2,000 troops each, he is also responsible for Jiang Wuwei's ideological education.

Hearing Chu He say this, Chen Tong frowned: "Lord, now that the Southern Barbarian Army has formed an alliance with our Changding Army, there are even barbarian cave masters and Yongzhou Army invading my Tianshui County?

Chu He said lightly: "The Southern Barbarian Army is not equal to the entire Southern Xinjiang Barbarians, even if we are allied with the Southern Barbarian Army, we have to guard against this." ”

He also pointed to the two pale green flags planted in the rear of the Yongzhou army: "These two soldiers and horses are the headquarters of the Southern Barbarian Army, which are under the control of Meng Shu, and the number has not yet been detected, but they can force the Yongzhou Army to our side, and there must be a lot of soldiers and horses." ”

"Although the Southern Barbarian Army is a friendly army, we also need to deploy corresponding manpower, just in case. ”

Jiang Wei suddenly said in a deep voice: "These two Southern Barbarian armies may not be stronger than the Yongzhou Army, it is likely that the Yongzhou Army does not want to go deep into the hinterland of the Southern Barbarians and fall into a situation of fighting on all sides, and the hundreds of thousands of troops also need a large amount of supplies. ”

"The last general thought that the two southern barbarian armies were not enough to worry about, and only needed to send men to closely monitor their movements, leaving 2,000 soldiers and horses to deal with them. ”

Chu He couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, Jiang Wei was worthy of being the pillar of the country of Hou Shu, and his analysis was the same as the two gods of war of Long Ji and Gan Ning, and even the number of two thousand soldiers and horses was not bad at all.

After introducing the military situation that Tianshui County is facing now, Chu He set his eyes on everyone: "I don't know how the generals think they should fight this battle?"

Temperament can be cultivated, and today's Chu Wu can no longer see the shadow of the little Orion who was scheming for a few taels of silver before, but is imposing, brave and fierce, anyone who looks at it will know that this is a general who has been in a high position for a long time and is decisive in killing.

"The last general feels that this battle must not only be fought, but also fought beautifully!"

His voice was calm: "The reason why the Yongzhou Army was able to enter the land of the Southern Barbarians may not be without the factor of deliberate indulgence of the Southern Barbarian Army. ”

"Although the Southern Barbarian Army has to form an alliance with us for mutual benefit because of steel, strong bones and strong blood pills, etc., in fact, in the eyes of the Southern Barbarian Army, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in our Changding Military Region are not qualified to sit on an equal footing with them!"

Chu Wu, as the commander of Aokiwei, even if he had shallow knowledge before, but after being in contact with a genius like Jiang Wei for a long time, and being influenced by Chu He, his vision has widened a lot: "It is very likely that the Southern Barbarian Army wants to use the Yongzhou Army to severely damage us, and then Qingtong will marry the lord and use the elite of the Southern Barbarian Army as a dowry, so as to annex our Changding Army!"

Jiang Wei smiled slightly: "Even if the Southern Barbarian Army really fights this idea, it will definitely be disappointed." ”

All the generals laughed, they naturally knew that the strength of the Changding Army could not be measured by numbers, especially now that the Changding Army had formed a thousand-man scorpion-tailed air cavalry.

Although this air cavalry has not been tested in war, and the cooperation between man and tiger is not very skilled, there is absolutely no problem in entering the battle.

When it comes to fighting, the generals of the Standing Army have never been afraid of anyone.

Chu He also smiled and said, "Any covenant is destined to be torn up. The safety of our Tianshui County cannot be placed on the basis of a paper covenant. ”

"This big battle, even if it is a dowry gift for Meng Huo, to help him solve his heart trouble! ”

He was worried that everyone would be scared and nervous, after all, this was definitely a tough battle, but now seeing everyone's performance, not only did they not have cowardice, but even overconfidence, they were relieved.

Chu Wu suddenly took two steps forward and said, "My lord, according to the opinion of the last general, we can divide our troops into four routes, first use the scorpion tail wing tiger scout to uproot the opponent's ears and eyes, and then the three armies will attack the Yongzhou army at the same time. ”

"The remaining soldiers and horses, mainly the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry and horse cavalry, are responsible for monitoring the mountain bandits and the Southern Barbarian Army. As long as the battle situation of the three-way army is smooth, the mountain bandits and Niu Yandong will definitely not dare to act rashly, and this road army can take the opportunity to kill the remnants of the Yongzhou army who have retreated and fled. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said categorically: "If the lord can trust the last general, the last general is willing to make a military order and lead Aoki Wei 10,000 soldiers and horses to meet the left wing of the Yongzhou army!"

As the earliest guard of the Standing Army, except for the Hidden Yuan Guard, Aoki Guard's strength is definitely not weak.

Most of the elite have practiced the Golden Bell Jar, including 10,000 elite guards, as well as the recently expanded 2,000 vanguard battalions, including 50 scorpion-tailed tiger cavalry and 1,000 bladed chariot troops, for a total of 12,000 men.

In Chu Wu's eyes, leaving 2,000 soldiers and horses to protect the county is enough, and with 10,000 strong troops to meet the 40,000 left flank of the Yongzhou army, there will definitely be no problems.

Xiang Xiong hesitated slightly, but still stepped forward and said, "Lord, the last general also has an opinion." ”

Chu He nodded: "General Xiang, please speak." ”

Xiang Xiong immediately said: "We don't know much about the situation of the Yongzhou Army, if we divide the troops and fight with them, I'm afraid we are not 100% sure." ”

"Even if we can really defeat the other party, it will be extremely difficult to completely annihilate the enemy army, once these routs are scattered everywhere, hidden in the mountains and forests, I am afraid that for a long time to come, it will bring great trouble to our Tianshui County. ”

Chu He nodded slightly: "What General Xiang said is extremely true, how does General Xiang think we should fight this battle?"

Xiang Xiong did not hesitate, and said in a very certain tone: "The last general thinks that the Yongzhou army is probably even more unclear about the situation of our Changding army, and it is likely that it is only a half-understanding from the mouth of the mountain bandits, otherwise it will definitely not divide the troops!"

All the generals present agreed with what he said.

Changding Township produces steel, many people know, but the real strength of the Changding Army, it is estimated that the Yellow Turban Army is relatively clear, that is, the Southern Barbarian Army is difficult to really find out the details of the Changding Army, let alone the Yongzhou Army that is tens of thousands of miles away.

When the Changding Army was developing rapidly, the Yongzhou Army was being pursued by the Sanzhou Coalition Army, and until now, it was also chased by the Southern Barbarian Army all the way, and it was too late to take care of itself, and what time and energy did they have to explore the situation in this obscure place in Datong County.

Xiang Xiong then said: "According to the opinion of the last general, we can divide the troops into four routes, but the three roads are light, and they are mainly responsible for disrupting the other party's line of sight and monitoring the situation of the mountain bandits and Niu Yan Cave. ”

"One of the roads, gather heavy troops, at least 30,000 troops, attack with all your strength, and swallow the 40,000 left flank of the Yongzhou Army in a short time!"

Xiang Xiong pointed to the sand table: "The terrain here is flat and open on all sides, according to the direction and speed of the left wing of the Yongzhou Army, after three days, I will definitely choose to camp here to rest." ”

"And the middle and right flanks of the Yongzhou Army, not surprisingly, will be here, and here echo the left flank. ”

Chu Wu looked at the direction Xiang Xiong pointed, his eyes lit up, and he didn't mind that the strategy he proposed was overturned by Xiang Xiong, and immediately said: "Our main force will divide into three routes, launch an attack from these three places, and attack the left flank of Yongzhou, which will definitely give them nowhere to escape!"

"Exactly!"

Xiang Xiong nodded, moved the enemy flag, and planted the flag representing the Yongzhou soldiers.

"The 30,000 troops can be divided into three divisions and attack from these three mountain passes. ”

"The middle and right wings of the Yongzhou army, knowing that the left flank was attacked, and our army is fierce, the Yongzhou middle route army will definitely follow the Shuanggu Road and quickly rescue the left flank, but there will not be too many soldiers and horses, and the speed of the transfer of more than 100,000 troops is too late to support the battlefield, at most 5,000 to 10,000 cavalry troops. ”

"We can bury 3,000 volts on this side of Shuanggu Road, mainly steel bows and eight-ox armor-piercing crossbows, and arrange them in the mountains on the other side of the river to attack and aid the Yongzhou soldiers. ”

"However, this ambush soldier and horse needs to use the elite of the lord's hidden abyss guard, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the Yongzhou soldiers!"

In fact, when it comes to real military literacy, no one present is comparable to Xiang Xiong and Ding Meng, except for Long Ji and Gan Ning, including Jiang Wei.

After all, Jiang Wucun is composed of Xiang Yu's direct heirs and the heirs of many ministers and generals of Chu State, Xiang Xiong, a candidate for the reserve patriarch, has received various Wentao martial arts education since he was a child, and he is many times stronger than Chu Wu, a halfway monk.

Although Jiang Wei is the general of Houshu, it is the result of Zhuge Liang's teaching, Chu Qianzhong is like this, he was only a blacksmith logistics soldier of the Demon Army before, and at the level of this kind of war strategy, it cannot be compared with Xiang Xiong and Ding Meng at all.

The more Xiang Xiong spoke, the more confident he became, and he moved the banners of each department with a calm expression: "With the strength of my Changding army, 30,000 soldiers and horses attack 40,000 Yongzhou soldiers, and the battle will definitely end in a short time, and then the army will take advantage of the transfer of the Yongzhou Chinese army to directly take the Chinese army." ”

"As long as the time to destroy the left wing of the Yongzhou Army is controlled within two hours, then the right wing of the Yongzhou Army can only come here at most. ”

His middle finger was a little heavier on the sand table: "No matter what the battle situation of the Chinese army in Yongzhou is, the right wing troops know that the left wing is destroyed and the Chinese army is attacked, so they will change their route to rescue the Chinese army." The troops we have deployed in these three places can join forces along the Jueyun Ridge at the same time, Yinmahu and Yinshadao, and snipe the right-wing army of Yongzhou!"

Xiang Xiong finished talking about his strategy, paused slightly, and said: "Of course, the army is impermanent, and the battlefield is changing rapidly. ”

"Just in case, the lord can send the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry, hidden on the Jueyun Ridge, if anything happens, you can support the battlefield at any time, if the battle is smooth, you can't hide, keep the secret of the air cavalry. ”

The Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry is an important hole card in the hands of Chu He, except for a small number of Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Cavalry assigned to you to be responsible for reconnaissance matters, the remaining Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry has been training in the abyss world and is not known to outsiders.

The number of flying mounts will not attract attention, for example, the Southern Barbarian Army has many iron-winged eagle scouts, but the formed flying cavalry is different, once it is leaked, it will definitely attract the attention of countless people.

After Xiang Xiong finished speaking, everyone was immediately impressed, and Long He and Gan Ning both looked at this middle-aged man with different expressions.
