Chapter XVII: The Generals of the North Sea IV

When Chen Sheng heard this, he got up with his head held high, came to the giant map, pointed to the middle road area of Beihai County with his right hand, and said: "Generals, the Chengtian army is menacing and arrogant. Its cavalry units are extremely brave, and their breakthrough ability can be described as the best in the world. Therefore, our army must rely on the strategic depth of the country, form an echelon formation, and block attacks step by step. Slowing down, slowing down the advance of the Chengtian army, dragging the war into a protracted war. The defensive units deployed on the border line are equivalent to the first version of the axe of the three versions of our army, and their purpose is to rub their sharpness and sharpen their soldiers. The real core of defense is in the twelfth level. Unlike the Nagato Bridge in Mulan County and the Crescent River Valley in Menglan County, the Twelve Passes of Defense in Beihai County is not a naturally formed defense line. Instead, the king relied on building fortresses and building a defensive theater of defense in which various military fortresses were connected. The core of this area lies in the easternmost Bailu Pass, which is also the gateway to Longquan City, where my Beihai County is located. As we all know, the topography of our Beihai Kingdom rises from west to east. After passing Longquan City, the terrain will rise sharply, until the last defensive core of my Beihai County, the Tianyang Mountain Range. The Tianyang Mountain Range is a circular mountain range, and the plain area at its top is where the national capital Beihai City is located. Xiazhuang at the foot of the mountain range is the only entrance to the Tianyang Mountain Range. The Black Wind Pass next to Xiazhuang is the only commanding height nearby. If the Chengtian army wants to attack Beihai City, there is no shortcut, and it can only open a breakthrough from Xiazhuang. And you must know the difficulty of the back attack. Therefore, the king was determined to hold the twelve passes for three months, so as to gain precious time for our army's counteroffensive in winter. Next, this king will talk about the specific deployment of troops in these twelve levels. As His Majesty the King said just now, this King has 300,000 elite troops under the Twelve Passes. Among them, the most important Bailu Pass was guarded by the Fifth Army of the Northern Navy Regiment under the command of the ice general Zhang Tianyi. The north and south sides of Bailu Pass are precipices, the front is narrow, the terrain is dangerous, it can be said that one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Sheng paused slightly, moved his right hand to the four passes west of Bailu Pass, and then said: "These four fortresses west of Bailu Pass were just built by our army relying on the terrain. These four fortresses, the old man named the Netherworld Four Beast Pass, there are three rivers interspersed in between. The king personally led the seventh, first, and nineteenth armies, with a total of 90,000 troops, to meet the enemy here. Presumably, at this time, everyone should be able to guess the king's combat intention, that is, to put the troops in the combat zone, relying on various passes, and arrange them into a network of strongholds. Ambushes, decoys, flanks, tail attacks, etc., deplete the enemy's strength and morale in stages. Finally, it is necessary to look for opportunities to concentrate superior forces in a certain local area to encircle and annihilate them, so as to achieve the goal of mobile defense. In addition, Mao Yi, the deputy commander of the Northern Naval Regiment, led the troops of five armies to deploy the six passes on the left side of the king, and the main task was to ensure the security of the flanks of the four beasts of the netherworld, the core defensive position where the king was located. In addition, Agni Fire Bing led Yan Tian and his troops to garrison Tong'an City, the northernmost part of the Twelve Passes, to prevent the Chengtian army from sneaking up on our army's position from behind, as a mobile reconnaissance. ”

At this point, Chen Sheng also had a dry mouth, and after returning to his seat, he picked up a cup of tea and poured it. Haitian and the other generals listened to it, and they were all relieved. Chen Sheng's tactical arrangement can be described as very perfect and impeccable, making the greatest use of the Beihai Kingdom's rising terrain from west to east, turning the originally loose defensive area into a large iron plate that is impregnable. Moreover, as long as the Chengtian army cannot break through the twelve levels immediately, it will inevitably fall into the quagmire carefully set up by the Beihai army, and if it is not careful, there will even be a risk of rout. The most important thing is that Chen Sheng destroyed all the roads in the entire area of the Twelve Passes and flooded them with river water, making the ground potholes, like a swamp. In this way, Chengtian's cavalry almost lost its meaning of existence, and Chengtian's army could only rely on infantry to attack these twelve levels.

Haitian, the king of the North Sea, came to the map again, and his eyes looked to the north of Mulan County. After a while, Haitian turned around, looked at a general on the right who was as calm as a mountain, and said kindly: "Old Han, how is the deployment of Mulan County?"

The general who is called Lao Han by Haitian is the ice king of the Beihai Kingdom, and the world respects him as the ice king of Fengyue, because of his momentum like a moving mountain, calm atmosphere, but extremely suffocating and this title. Feng Yue Bing King's name is Han Youxin, who is the commander of the Mulan Legion, and has a high position in the Beihai country. I saw Han Youxin smile slightly, stroked his white beard with his left hand, and said safely: "Your Majesty, the king of Mulan County has already completed the defense, just waiting for the Chengtian army to send it to the door." Among them, Zhang led 50,000 troops and garrisoned Liucheng as the first line of defense, and Long Fei, the general of Heiyabing, led an army of 100,000 troops to hold the military artery Changmen Bridge and its surrounding areas, which was the second line of defense. Ice King Sun Hu led 200,000 troops to garrison Luoxia Pass, which was the last line of defense for Mulan County. Of course, Lao Sun did not come today, presumably His Majesty also understands the importance of this Luoxia Pass. To put it mildly, if everyone can't hold it, just hide in Luoxia Pass, and this king can protect me from Beihai. After saying this, Han Youxin laughed.

Haitian was a little embarrassed when he heard this, while some of the rest of the generals were calm and light, and some showed a more angry expression. Just when Han Youxin was proud, a cold voice sounded.

"What are you pretending, Han Youxin, are you old boy itching your skin? The Luoxia Pass you said seems to be your family's. I'm in a very bad mood right now, why don't we go out and practice?" The person who spoke was none other than the other of the two blue and white stones in the North Sea Ice God, the Cold Ice God White Stone. He has always been straightforward and fast-talking, but he can't get used to Han Youxin's triumphant posture at the moment, so he plans to "have a good discussion" with this Fengyue Ice King.

Feng Yue Bing King, who was on the rise, suddenly showed a bitter face, and said in a trembling voice: "Old, old white, the weather is bad today, let's not fight." At present, we should unite and fight the enemy together. ”

"It's okay, it's just a matter of learning from each other, just to keep the fighting state for a while!" Bai Shi said kindly on the surface, but he walked towards Han Youxin step by step.

Han Youxin knew that if he really "sparred", it would definitely be a skin and flesh, so he cast a look of help to Haitian. Haitian sighed slightly, and had no choice but to say to Baishi: "Baishi, you are not too young. Let's get down to business. Right now, how is the defense of Menglan County being prepared?"

Hearing this, Bai Shi stopped, turned his head to look at Haitian, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, just rest assured, Menglan County has already been impregnated under the layout of this seat. Previously, this seat had ordered the commander of the 58th Army, Prince Ang, to guard the border town of Suizhou. And the deputy commander of the Menglan Legion, the Ice King Gao Hongli, personally sat in the Feiyu Pass of the Crescent River Valley defense line to meet the incoming enemy. As for the main seat, the remaining forces of the Menglan Legion are temporarily stationed in Menglan City and Tongtian City, and if there is any trouble, they can support the front line at any time. ”

Baishi's cold attitude made Haitian very unhappy, but he was helpless. As for the rest of the generals, most of them know the reason for the disagreement between Baishi and Haitian, they all look at the nose with their mouths, noses and eyes, and their eyes look at the sky, and they look like they have nothing to do with themselves.
