Early in the morning, Meng Biao walked into the training ground with Li Chengzhou and Tomahawk, and stood in front of the assembled team, Li Xiaojiang stood at the front with the rest of the personal guards, and then there were neatly arranged imperial legions. Swordsmen, shieldmen, spearmen, and crossbowmen are arranged in order, with bright armor and sufficient armament.

Meng Biao looked at the soldiers in the audience and whispered to Li Chengzhou.

"This is the first time you have led troops to fight, which is different from the previous riot next to the dragon boat, and it is also different from you going to co-opt the barbarians."

"Soldiers, the great affairs of the country! You must be very careful, the sea ferry is more than twenty kilometers away from here, it is not far away, it can be reached in a few hours with a quick march, it is not close, if it is defeated, it will not even have time to escape back to the city and will be captured by the barbarians. ”

"You must not underestimate the barbarians, they are not much different from us, if they are really defeated, you must first ensure your own safety!"

Li Chengzhou nodded, it was the first time for him to stand on a high platform and lead soldiers to the battle, he didn't know what the process was and what to say. can only be done by Meng Biao and watch him perform.

Meng Biao stood on the stage, relaxed like a fish in water at this moment, and made a generous speech, listing the significance of this expedition and boosting the morale of the soldiers.

Taking advantage of the soldiers' enthusiasm and high morale, Meng Biao waved his arms: "Array, go!" ”

The soldiers marched out of the camp in a long formation, with crossbowmen in the middle, spearmen on either side, and sword and shield bearers on the outermost.

Ten rows are a phalanx, a total of ten phalanxes, looking at the soldiers in a neat line, Li Chengzhou was a little stunned, this is different from the soldiers he brought out before!

Meng Biao brought a hundred barbarians, and they pulled the baggage carts.

"This is what I can help you after I do it, the baggage cart has the supplies you need for five days, and you can let them pull the cart to transport the supplies along the way. Li Xiaojiang used to be my adjutant, so if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask him. Hopefully, you'll be able to come home victorious and don't leave anyone behind at the sea ferry. ”

Li Chengzhou looked at the team that had already gone away, explained that he understood, and then hurriedly chased after him with his personal guards.

Tomahawk led the way at the front of the team: "These roads you have built are really good, they are long, wide and flat, and the marching efficiency on them is really high. ”

The forest around the city had been almost cut down, and the road had been paved, but soon after entering the forest, the road stopped, and the march slowed down suddenly.

Li Xiaojiang came over from behind: "Childe, now that the speed is slow, the vision is blocked, and we have to take care of the baggage truck, I suggest that we should send scouts to reconnoiter first, so as not to encounter an ambush and sneak attack." ”

Li Chengzhou nodded: "Do as you say!" ”

"Brothers, it's time to work!"

Li Xiaojiang was instructed and began to arrange for the guards to disperse and go to explore the way.

Tomahawk sighed with emotion: "I have never heard of these methods in the forest, we have always only relied on our own familiarity with the forest to explore the way, I don't think the team of the Fire Bull Tribe will have good fruit to eat this time." ”

"Next time, be sure to discuss these skills with these fighters."

Li Chengzhou smiled embarrassedly: "It's over, Barbie Q, it seems that only Li Xiaojiang can rely on this team now!" ”

The procession was unimpeded, and the scouts did not find any suspicious targets, all the way to the sea crossing, which had only a valley in the middle to march through, and could only accommodate forty people side by side, flanked by low but almost ninety degrees of vertical peaks.

Li Chengzhou looked at the canyon in front of him and didn't know what to do. looked at Tomahawk and Li Xiaojiang.

Tomahawk looked at the grass and trees in the canyon: "The tribal march is usually to report the regiment for warmth, and will not pay too much attention to the surrounding situation, I think we can use these trees as cover, saying that they are not prepared to kill by surprise." ”

Li Xiaojiang knew that his opportunity had come: "Of course, this is okay, but I think this can only play the role of a melee soldier, and our most important crossbowmen will not be effective, and even the crossbow bolts will be useless because of the cover of the woods." ”

The two competed against each other, the tomahawk wanted to hit the opposite side by surprise, and Li Xiaojiang wanted to meet the enemy head-on. It's a lot of noise.

Li Chengzhou hurriedly stopped the quarrel between the two, the big war is imminent, and the most lacking thing now is time, how can there be time to listen to the quarrel between the two of them?

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing! We seek common ground while reserving differences, we use both methods, and we find ways to combine them. ”

"Being caught off guard will certainly allow us to demoralize the enemy in a short period of time, but at the same time, the role of the crossbowman must also be reflected."

"This canyon is a full kilometer long, and we chose a section of the road in the middle of the two hundred meters, cleared the trees and grass on this road, and waited until the enemy entered the encirclement, and the crossbowmen fired a salvo to demoralize. Then the sword, shield, and spearmen who were lying in ambush in the forest rushed out, and they would surely be able to defeat the other side in one battle. ”

Tomahawk and Li Xiaojiang nodded in agreement with the statement of seeking common ground while reserving differences, but this plan still needs to be improved.

"The people led by the Fire Bull tribe must be arrogant and will not care about the ambush of hostile forces on the road, so we have to choose a section of the road close to this side of the dragon boat, so that they can relax their vigilance even more! By the time they enter the encirclement, it will be too late, and the crossbow bolts will also be in action. ”

Tomahawk calmly analyzed, using the experience of living in the forest over the years.

"Our soldiers could be divided into five groups, fifty swords and shields and fifty spears, a combination of four, and each of them lay in ambush in the jungle near the four corners of the open road. A hundred crossbowmen formed a team of their own, ambushed in the forest, and when the time came, they gave an order, walked out of the forest, and fired directly at level, at least two rounds could be fired at such a short distance. ”

Li Xiaojiang used to be Meng Biao's deputy general, and he has also experienced many battles, and how to match the soldiers is also handy, even if he is very young now, but the tomahawk is still a "little kid" in his eyes.

"We can send scouts, and if the enemy is attacking, we can give advance notice and take precautions early."

Tomahawks are used to learn and put them to use, and the scout tactics that they have just learned come in handy.

"When the troops charge, the infantry on the crossbowman's side can charge first, and then the infantry on the other side can charge again, which can greatly damage the morale of the enemy."

Tomahawk and Li Xiaojiang did not give in to each other, and constantly supplemented this plan, although Li Chengzhou was very pleased with their advice, but was he really not afraid of being discovered in advance if he was so noisy?

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel for now, you guys implement the idea just now, and then discuss it when there is any controversy."

The two looked at each other and walked towards the troops. Li Chengzhou went to settle the barbarians who had followed, put down the baggage, pulled the cart back, and came over four days later with new supplies.
