Chapter 148 It's logistics
Da Maolin Mansion is located in the southeast of Shu, and Xilin County is only one of the twelve counties of Maolin Province, and it is the smallest one.
There is a huge Chu army camp in the west of the Xilin swamp area, where tens of thousands of Chu troops are stationed, and Xilin City in the middle of the Xilin swamp is still under repair because of the destruction of the horned crocodile group.
"Hmph, these barbarians really don't know what to do, and they still want to negotiate terms with us, and they don't see if they have that qualification!" In the big tent, Wang Yanzhang patted the table, picked up a teapot with a lot of anger, and drank it with a grunt.
As one of the five heavily armored armies, the next action was not his turn, so he sat in the camp of the Chinese army, and took Xilin City, overthrew the rule of Xilin Tusi, and also won the support of Xilin departments, but it was only supported.
Sun Wu, who was standing in the tent and looking down at the shrunken sand table in front of him, smiled faintly and said: "This is also inevitable, our conditions are almost equivalent to letting them give up their rule over the tribe, which is a big blow to their rights, if they can happily agree, it would be strange! Why didn't Staff Officer Wu come back with you?"
"He's still entangled with those guys over there, according to me, just lead the troops to kill them, and see if they dare to chirp!" Wang Yanzhang's anger was suppressed a little, but he was obviously a little itchy.
Before Wang Yanzhang's words fell, the curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and Wu Zixu paced in from outside, but his expression was in a good mood, and he didn't have Wang Yanzhang's appearance on fire: "How are you talking?"
"There is no progress, the soft eggs have all succumbed, and the non-soft eggs are still holding on, but they can't stand for long, those small and medium-sized tribes led by the Heilin tribe have been drawn from the elite of the tribe and began to form a servant army, once the servant army is completed, plus the soldiers and horses that we have arrived one after another. These tribes had to give in in in the end, unless they wanted to give up the clan land they had lived in for hundreds of years!"
"The formation of the servant army has to speed up the progress, the horned cavalry of the White Tiger Legion should set off one after another in the past two days, or in less than a week, our main force will also move to the front line of Xilin County, if these tribes are not pulled out, it will be a big threat to our rear!"
"I understand that I have been in private discussions with the weakest of these tribes, the Bailin Chief. It's just that the other party is still a little hesitant, I'm adding fire in the past two days, and the Bailin Department should be able to open a breakthrough, if the big tribes of Lizard Horn don't let go. Then you can only kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!" Wu Zixu said with a hint of coldness on the corner of his mouth.
"By the way, is there any news from Maoshan?"
"Not yet, but General Tan has made a bit of a big noise this time, pulling out all the elites of the wolf hao big toast leader, and also recruiting all the soldiers over the age of fourteen who can fight, the main force is 80,000, counting those youth battalions, veteran battalions, there are almost 150,000. It's not a big deal!"
Wu Zixu said with a smile when he heard this: "This time it is almost a general battle that affects the situation in the southeast of Shu, and his side, as the main position, naturally has to take on it and attract the attention of several Tusi leaders nearby, which can provide convenience for the several soldiers and horses we are running, as long as the beheading operation is successful, it will definitely affect the battle situation ahead." Moreover, there is also our strange army, which is pressed up at a critical moment, and the overall situation of Maolin Mansion is almost decided!"
"It's not so optimistic, not to mention the Hushan Tusi Leader that General Tan faced this time, but none of the three Tusi Leaders of the porcupine, mountain bear, and snake scales are easy to deal with, although these three places are not as dangerous as Xilin City. But the soldiers and horses of these three departments are not low, and even if the beheading is successful, it is not certain whether they can disrupt the three major toast leaders!"
"At that time, we still have to rely on real swords and guns, so the formation of the servant army is particularly important!"
"I understand!"
"By the way, there is a secret letter from the Suzaku City Military Aircraft Department, Your Majesty may come to us in the next few days!"
"Oh. Your Majesty is also coming, so the two forbidden armies stationed in Vermilion Bird City are also coming?" Wang Yanzhang couldn't help but come to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
Sun Wu shook his head and said: "No, Your Majesty will come alone, after all, there are many spies in Vermilion Bird City, so this trip is in the name of inspection, and the two forbidden armies will send half of them to follow Your Majesty to Yangzhou to attract the attention of those spies, and after that, they will probably enter Qingzhou, and most of the forbidden troops on our side have arrived, and there are White Tigers, and the follow-up strength of the ten divisions of the two major armies of Vermilion Bird is enough to fight Shuzhou." ”
"That's fine, it's better to keep Longshan Dao secret, it's naturally best to hide it from Tang Jun for a while, and then give them an unexpected surprise!"
Maoshan Ridge is a small mountain ridge that is not high, the mountains are densely wooded, several rivers flow out of the mountains, forming a flat plain nearby, here is the border between the Wolf Wool Tusi Leader and the Tiger Mountain Tusi Leader, and not far from here, several tribes under the jurisdiction of the Snake Scale Tusi Leader are facing this land.
So this time, Tan Dao Ji Lao Shi moved the crowd, although he went straight to Hushan Tusi Ling to kill, but it also affected the heart of the snake scale Tusi Ling, hundreds of thousands of elites, although it is not all the soldiers and horses of a Tusi Ling, but it is the largest number of elites who can be dispatched, it can be said that this time the Wolf Tusi Ling is going to have a big fight.
In the face of the menacing wolf Tusi army, who dares to be careless, in addition to the elite soldiers and horses of the Tusi of the headquarters, the Hushan Leader also began to draw the elite of the tribes under the Tusi Leadership, forming an army that is not inferior in size to Maoshan, and at the same time, although the Snake Scale Tusi Mansion does not have much territory in this area, it also sent a force of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, once the two sides start fighting, or can make a profit.
Several small tribes at the foot of Maoshan have already scattered and retreated, staying here purely to find death, and after the army led by Tan Daoji arrived here, he did not directly wave his army into the Tusi Leader of Hushan, but set up camps, dug deep trenches, and built camps, preparing for a protracted war.
As early as a few years ago, Da Chu had begun to prepare for entering Shu, and as the pioneer of Da Chu in Shuzhou, the Wolf Hao Tusi Leader had accumulated a huge amount of war materials and inventory armaments in the past three or four years, so the preparation was extremely sufficient, and in comparison, neither the Hushan Tusi Department nor the Snake Scale Tusi Department were prepared for a big battle and a long war.
Although in a short period of time, the two toast leaders gathered a large number of armies to confront the front line.
Tan Daoji took a guard to inspect the expanding defense of the battalion: "The trench will continue to widen, and tell the soldiers below that as long as the opposite side does not come." Just dig for me, as wide as you want, as deep as you dig, and the number of arrow towers is not enough, twenty meters away, build me another row!"
"Lord Shaohao, let's mobilize the people and recruit all the soldiers of the tribe who can fight. Why don't you kill them, a few days ago, they didn't have a firm foothold, so let's kill them. I'm sure I'll be able to kill them, and I'll lose a lot!"
Tan Daoji turned his head and looked at this first warrior of the new generation led by the wolf toast, and had to admit that among the warlike barbarians, there will always be some warriors with good talents and excellent qualifications, and this first warrior has always had a little opinion about him, a foreigner.
Tan Daoji chuckled and said, "Kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred." Even if we can win a battle when the opponent's foothold is unstable, our losses will definitely not be small, I would rather not have such a victory, not to mention that the strength of the Hushan Tusi army is still considerable!"
"Even the combat power of that Tiger Mountain Cavalry is even above our most elite Wolf Howl Army, even if it is equipped with the best armor and the sharpest weapons. The victory and defeat are also half and a half, here we have to do our best, the loss of the soldiers, the entire twelve counties of the Maolin District, not weak I wolf Hao Tusi led by four, you think we are too bad, these toasts will let go of the opportunity, let us lick the wounds. !”
"But stay here. Can we still win?"
"Of course you can, wolf hunting is never impatient, we dispatched this time, but we mobilized tens of thousands of troops and took out most of the main forces, which is not a small pressure on the two Tusi leaders in the north. If you want to fight against our army of hundreds of thousands, the other party must at least have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed on the opposite side, even the snake scale Tusi leader next to him must garrison an army of 30,000 or 50,000 to feel at ease!"
"Do you know what that means?" Tan Daoji asked with a smile.
"This will trap most of their main forces, could it be that a small number of elites are going to infiltrate the rear of the other party?"
Tan Daoji looked at this guy and blinked his eyes, okay, the barbarians are really all guys who advocate attack: "This will definitely be there, but it won't be us, what we have to do is consume!"
"Consumption?"
"Yes, hundreds of thousands of troops eat beasts every day, do you think it's a small number, we started preparing for all this three years ago, so even if it takes a year and a half, it's no problem, and the other party, it's easy to collect 100,000 soldiers and horses, but do they have the logistics to support 100,000 soldiers and horses?"
"No, according to the information I know, although the entire Hushan Tusi Leader in the past three years has been considered to be smooth, but in the past two years, we have obtained a lot of stock grain from the Hushan Tusi Leader in various ways, it can be said that the warehouse of the Hushan Tusi Leader is almost empty, and at this time, it is the time when the green and yellow are not receiving every year, with the situation of the various tribes in the north of the Hushan Tusi Leader, all the savings have to be taken out to supply the grain and grass that can supply the 100,000 troops for ten days!"
"Maybe the Hushan Tusi will mobilize food from other places, but is it so easy, I won't look at the other party's calm scheduling, once the army is short of food, as short as seven or eight days, as little as three or five days, the army on the opposite side will definitely be chaotic, and has no intention of fighting again, when the time comes, our army is dispatching, and it can be exchanged for the greatest victory with the smallest loss!"
"Oh!"
Tan Daoji looked at the other party's sudden appearance, but shook his head, the barbarians are really the best soldiers, but there are few outstanding generals, he has accepted some disciples in the Wolf Hao Tusi Leader in recent years, but the effect is not satisfactory.
Tan Daoji's plans are naturally more than these, but he doesn't need to say them all, even if he says them, these guys with thick heads won't understand, as long as they do what they want, this is enough.
I don't know what the situation of the light beast cavalry in the rear of the three-way blitzkrieg Tusi leader, if they can complete the established strategy, then the odds will increase by a few points, the rear is in turmoil, the front line is short of food and grass, plus some provocations, rumors, it should not be difficult to take down the Hushan Tusi army on the opposite side in one fell swoop.
