Chapter 141: Chu State Raiders
"Restrain the generals?" Xia Qiu's face was extremely ugly, the green tendons on his head flared up, and his anger was overwhelming. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "You mean, we don't want the thirteen county towns and one state capital outside the gate?!"
"The state capital, as well as the nearby county towns, are necessary. I didn't say that it should be closed, but the first seven counties and the nearby three counties are not needed. The egret shook his head, his instructions were clear, to concentrate their scattered forces in one state and three counties. In this way, even if the Chu State mobilizes a large army to come, it can ensure that these important and prosperous main cities are not lost.
"There are more important things you need to do besides the troops. Bai Lu continued, "Don't lose sight of the point, this battle order must be issued, and it is necessary to let the capable people of the counties that have not been captured by the Chu State follow the army to the three counties of one state. ā
"This is a complete chaos!" Xia Qiu shouted dissatisfiedly, "You don't want to save the land south of our town at all!"
Breathing a sigh of relief, Xia Qiu looked at the egret steadily, "I know that Bai Junshi, you have taken refuge in the royal family and belong to Her Royal Highness Princess Regent Xianni, but relying on this way to weaken the military strength and civilian strength of our Zhennan is equivalent to collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country! If you are still a subordinate of the Xia Kingdom, you should never make such a decision!"
"Little prince. You're out of shape. Egret sighed, "As a military general, I need you to receive orders unconditionally. Instead of arguing with me here. ā
"If there is a mistake in my life, do I have to follow it?" Xia Qiu smiled coldly, "I absolutely can't accept such a chaotic life!"
The egret looked at Xia Qiu with a determined look, and had a headache. Xia Qiu is also more sensitive to the battle situation, to be honest, the strategic method proposed by Xia Qiu before is to let the support of the royal capital make a time difference, with the unfallen county of the Zhennan Army as bait, and the cavalry on the royal capital side can carry out rapid encirclement and suppression, which is equivalent to the strategy of encirclement and reinforcement. This is a good way, but for the egret, this method is still too troublesome, and for the battle and losses of the royal capital's own team, it is not small, and there is a simpler way, the egret does not want to use such a combat method.
"Little Lord, are you willing to make a bet with me?" said the egret helplessly, "Give me a month, during which you will completely obey my arrangement." At the end of the month, I will give you a secure border. Not only the land of the seven counties now, but even give you the opportunity to counterattack the Chu State in the future. How?"
Xia Qiu was stunned for a moment, and his expression was cloudy. He couldn't see any chance of counterattack in the current arrangement of the egret. The Chu State is not a soft persimmon at all, the other party itself has a strong army, and its equipment and morale are not inferior to the elite of the Xia State, and the leaders are all very famous veterans on the battlefield. Even if the Egret Sword goes sideways, it may not have a chance to defeat the opponent within a month, let alone have a chance to counterattack in the future?
However, Egret's previous record in the grassland border pass still gave Xia Qiu some confidence. Even if he didn't figure out what the egret wanted to do at the moment, Xia Qiu still boldly chose to follow the arrangement.
"I want to remind you that General Li Hai on the other side is one of the few strategic generals in the Chu State, and we have not asked for any benefits from the other party in the past few years. If you underestimate this person, I'm afraid that there will be no recovery on the battlefield in the later stage. ā
"I understand. Egret nodded, "I'm ready." ā
The preparation that Egret said naturally refers to the cavalry of the Feng Dance Army, and these days, the girls of the Feng Dance Army have been quite reborn. The current Feng Wu Army is not just a simple female soldier of more than 1,000 people, but also mixed into the elite cavalry under General Yu Chen. Now it is a full number of 5,000 people.
These 5,000 cavalry were replaced by the egret with a more excellent saber with a beautiful workmanship from Nina World Industries, as well as a powerful cavalry crossbow. The magazine is replaced, and the materials are made of composite excitation bowstrings that are not found in this world itself. Even if it is an ordinary crossbow arrow, the power of this cavalry crossbow can pierce through the heavy armor of a soldier-level strength soldier and break through the opponent's defense.
The personal strength of the cavalry is also generally above the six-star level, and for the egret, this strength is still somewhat insufficient. In Bai Lu's expectation, the composition of the cavalry of the Fengwu Army in the future must be an army composed of masters above the rank of captain at worst.
In this way, the Fengwu Army can be regarded as a few cavalry in the Three Kingdoms, the iron cavalry of the Chu State, the wolf cavalry of the Han State, and the goal of the Egret is that the cavalry of the Fengwu Army can compete head-on with these two strongest cavalry in the future.
As for now, the cavalry team has just taken shape, but if you want to reach the strongest position, you still need actual combat and running-in.
Bai Lu and Xia Qiu continued to discuss the course of action, and after a while, Qin Yu walked in from outside.
"Have you gotten the news?" Qin Yu interrupted, "The Chu State Iron Cavalry Regiment, under the command of Zhang Chao, has already reached the border pass! The counterattack team organized by the King of Zhennan has been driven back to the border pass yesterday!"
"Iron cavalry?" Egret was shocked and turned his head to look at Xia Qiu.
"The other party actually sent this team! I think that the Chu State is going to take the thirteen counties and one state outside the pass in one fell swoop!" Xia Qiu frowned and said, "There is no army on the Zhennan side that can compete with the iron cavalry, and if you want to contain the other party, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it." ā
"I'm afraid it's not just that. With the strength of the Iron Cavalry, it can completely dominate the wilderness. In this case, even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses inside the Guan, it will be difficult to provide effective support outside the Guan. The infantry was not fast enough, and the cavalry could not hold the city. This Lehi is not a traitorous and cunning general, and this deployment is really cleverly arranged. Now, the state of Chu can free up manpower and attack the remaining six counties and one state with all its might. Bai Lu also sighed, "Although I expected that the other party would definitely have support, I never thought that this Li Hai really had a way to invite the most precious iron cavalry regiment of the Chu State." ā
"If you want to hold the three counties and one state you said, it is impossible not to send troops to support!" Xia Qiu looked at Bai Lu, "But sending troops can't avoid the attack of the iron cavalry of the Chu State." Bai Junshi, now is not the time to preserve your strength, if you have a way, say it quickly, otherwise your previous arrangement may only become a joke. ā
Bai Lu nodded, this Chu State is not stupid, naturally it will not be arrogant enough to think that his own army can take the thirteen counties outside the Xia State Pass, and arranging his own iron cavalry to defend is a good move. However, the Chu State also thought that the Xia State was too simple, at least for now, the Egret had a cavalry on hand that was enough to compete with it.
"The plan is carried out as usual. General Qin Yu, I bother you to convene the Fengwu Army collective, we will not lose this battle. You have to go with me for a while to meet this iron cavalry regiment that the Chu State has boasted about for a long time. ā
"And the rest of the troops, little prince, will be handed over to you, be sure to bring them to the Guanwai Prefecture safely, and do a good job of preventing the attack on the city of Chu!"
