Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is eager to fight, don't worry, this time it will definitely make you enjoy fighting." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Pre-battle preparations will start tomorrow, the first wing will go to the flail pass in a week, and you will change the third division back to Shouyang City in the name of changing defenses. Remember to pack heavy gear, we're going to have a big fight this time. I ordered that from now on, officers at all levels should immediately take control of the troops and begin pre-war preparations, remembering that this time it will be carried out in secret, and no one will be allowed to let the news go. ”

Several wing captains were excited, and after receiving the specific departure date and their respective travel routes from Fang Ruitao, they left one after another, while Liu Jinhui, Wu Chengfeng, Zhao Guoxian, and Yue Yun, who had just arrived, all gathered over.

"Xianggong, you want to destroy the Chagatai Khanate" Wu Chengfeng couldn't help but be the first to ask.

Fang Ruitao smiled and pointed to the map near the Blue Pass on the table and said: "It's not so exaggerated, now our preparations are not sufficient, I just want to test the strength of the other party, and by the way, build an advance base." ”

"Brother Fang, what are your good ideas" Liu Jinhui asked, he had never been fighting, and his heart was also itchy.

Fang Ruitao pointed to the terrain near the Flail Pass and said, "Look here, the valley where the Flail Pass is located is quite long, and the Flail Pass only occupies a very small part close to the country. ”

"But the Flail Pass can only occupy a small part, you see the area in front of the Flail Pass, there are two gaps in the valley, these two gaps have a road to the Chagatai Khanate, although the road is very narrow, but after all, the defense surface is increased, so the defense will be much more difficult. Liu Jinhui had obviously done a lot of homework on the flail pass, and he immediately pointed out the problem.

Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "It's not wrong to use this kind of thinking of yours for defense, but it's a big mistake to use it for offense. The purpose of this battle is not to better defend, but to test the opponent's reality and prepare for the next attack. Fang Ruitao pointed to the valley on the map and said: "If we establish a position outside the valley to hold on, and in the case of blocking the opponent's army, we will build a new checkpoint at the end of the valley near the Chagatai Khanate, and at the end of those two roads, build two more small checkpoints on the side close to the Chagatai Khanate." ”

"Brother Fang, what are you going to do" Zhao Guoxian was taken aback, the defensive strength of the Dragon Soul Legion was already a little insufficient, and it seemed to be a very disadvantaged thing to disperse the troops in such a way.

Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "This is for Second Brother Yue. ”

"For me" Yue Yun leaned over curiously and said, "Our cavalry is used for mobile combat, and it doesn't seem good to be trapped in the checkpoint." ”

Fang Ruitao said: "I didn't say that you should guard the pass, you see that with these three checkpoints as a base, you can flexibly enter and exit the territory of the Chagatai Khanate, and it will depend on you later." ”

"Brother Fang means that let our cavalry division send out the whole army and plunder the territory of the Chagatai Khanate" Yue Yun heard a little way.

Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "That's right, the purpose of my operation this time is to establish enough forward bases and use the valley of the Languan Pass as a logistics base for our future attacks." Then the cavalry divisions will continue to harass the interior of the Chagatai Khanate, and when they are exhausted, I will let them know that it is powerful. ”

"Although the high-end strength of the Chagatai Khanate is insufficient, there is at least one war emperor and eight war kings, and the high-level strength of our army is only a soul master at most, and it is very difficult to fight against it. "Yue Yun is obviously very worried about the high-end combat power.

Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "Our attack this time is limited to the area near the Blue Pass, which belongs to the sphere of influence of the opponent's Eastern Expeditionary Army. The masters of the Chagatai Khanate, who were all located near the capitals of the other country, or were on guard against other scattered nomads in the north, did not belong to this direction at all. There are not many masters in our army, which is why the opponent's high-end force does not pay attention to us, we just take advantage of the opponent's paralysis and carelessness to catch them off guard, if they really send high-end force over, I also have a way to deal with them. ”

"Since Brother Fang has a backhand, I am relieved. It's just that this early operation, what do we need our cavalry division to do"

Fang Ruitao said: "I will change more for less this change of defense, every time the first division arrives at the Flail Blue Pass, the third division stationed there will only return one brigade, so that when the change of defense is completed, we will have nearly two divisions of infantry in the Flail Blue Pass." ”

"Then Shouyang City is not only a wing configuration, this seems to be a little empty, what if someone in the country does a black hand," Liu Jinhui asked.

Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "Now that the Blue Pass is stable, and the patrol police bureau is in charge of other areas, the second division stationed in Gaoyangqiu has lost its role, let the second division come back to guard Shouyang City, and this wing of the third division will go out to the fortress to defend." ”

Liu Jinhui nodded and said, "This is indeed feasible, but the defense in the territory is too empty, and most small cities are not defended by an army." ”

Fang Ruitao said: "This is indeed a problem, I still have the quota of ten local divisions in my hand, Brother Liu Jinhui, you stay in Shouyang City, transfer some manpower to start rebuilding the structure of these ten divisions, we don't need these people to have strong combat effectiveness, in the case of the Dragon Soul Legion's attack, they are enough to defend." ”

"Okay, I'll get started. Liu Jinhui nodded.

Fang Ruitao's words turned back to the operational deployment: "The weather is starting to get colder, I'm afraid it will snow in another month, and it will only be colder on the grassland." At this point, the nomadic Chagatai will be driving their livestock to the wintering pastures in the south, and the remaining Crusaders will be reduced by at least four-fifths, and this is our chance. We must take advantage of this opportunity to send infantry out to cover the construction of the city wall by the civilian workers, and the task of the cavalry division is to hold back the other side, try not to let the Eastern Expeditionary Army have leisure time to take care of our construction, and to buy time for the construction of the base. ”

"Yes, the people of the Chagatai Khanate will move south in winter, which will greatly increase the success rate of our attacks. Zhao Guoxian smiled and patted his thigh.

Fang Ruitao said: "This operation is headed by Wu Chengfeng, Zhao Guoxian, Gou Jinguang and Yue Yun assisted in commanding, this time we have to play with momentum." It's been too long since the Battle of Gaoyang Hill, and many people have forgotten it, so this time we let those people above the court see our combat strength and tell them that the Dragon Soul Legion is not only not weakened, but its combat effectiveness is rising in a straight line. ”
