"Young Master, last night the Lizhou battalion returned 800 pieces of military rations to the quartermaster department."

When the quartermaster made a report, he also felt very strange, did the Lizhou battalion bring its own military rations?

It's all sent according to the number of people, how much more?

"It's okay, you go down and get busy, start pulling out immediately, remember to cooperate with the follow-up Ganzhou battalion to do a good job of the grain road." Fang Jue didn't explain, so he dismissed the quartermaster.

The quartermaster left, and Dian Yidu bared his teeth: "Young master, the people in the Lizhou camp are so bold, how dare they lose so many people?" ”

"800 percent ......"

That is to say, there are 800 fewer people in the Lizhou battalion, and those generals are ready to eat the empty salary and silver of these 800 people.

It's a bit bold, but it's not too big, and it's still within acceptable limits.

"If I were the imperial historian, I should ask the Lizhou camp at this moment, but I am the commander, and it will be taboo to behead before the war...... Forget it, give them a credit for it, and pay for it in the future. ”

Fang Jue didn't think that at this time, he should kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and set up some authority.

The military is more complicated than the court, and the people here are very temperamental, and killing one may cause a group of people to be unwilling to cooperate.

When the time comes, on the battlefield, it will be a huge hidden danger.

It is necessary to endure it first, and as for how to deal with it after the war, it depends on their respective performances.

"Call the three generals."

Fang Jue summoned the heralds.

A moment later, Lin Bei, Wei Ran, and Sun Yi all stood in front of Fang Jue.

"The last general will see the general!" The three of them spoke in unison, no longer calling the young master, from this moment on, Fang Jue's identity in the army was the general of the expedition to the north.

The three of them bowed down, did not kneel, the etiquette in the army was even more brief, and the arrogance of the warriors could not be erased by red tape.

Therefore, in the history of Great Xia, military attaches did not need to kneel, unless they were receiving orders and obituaries for national funerals.

"General Lin, how is the Yulin Army reared?" Fang Jue is the color road.

Lin Bei arched his hand: "Back to the general, the Yulin Army has 6,000 light cavalry and 7,200 war horses, all of which have been nailed and ready to go at any time!" ”

"Okay."

After Fang Jue said goodbye, Lin Bei took a step back.

"General Wei, how is the Liangzhou battalion?"

Wei Ran stepped forward, full of anger: "General, my Liangzhou battalion has three thousand light horses, three thousand five hundred war horses, and seven thousand foot soldiers ready to go!" ”

"Okay, Lizhou Battalion?" Fang Jue looked at Sun Yi at the end.

Compared with the two people with natural expressions, Sun Yi looked a little unconfident, and stumbled and said: "General, I am in the Lizhou camp...... cough, some people are not accustomed to the water and soil......"

He winked at Fang Jue and motioned to save him some face.

Fang Jue felt funny, nodded, he didn't mean to deliberately lose face, it was necessary to ask this sentence, the main book of the army before the promotion would record these details.

This is the basis for future rewards and bereavements.

"Ahem!" Sun Yi had a little confidence, "Tell the general, the Lizhou battalion has 3,000 light cavalry, 4,000 war horses, and 6,200 foot soldiers...... Well-equipped, ready to pull out! ”

"Huh?" Lin Bei and Wei Ran both glanced at Sun Yi in some surprise.

Didn't you say that Liangzhou and Lizhou each sent 10,000 troops?

Can you have 800 people who are not adapted?

This is all in the north, you will accept it in Lizhou, but you will not accept it in Liangzhou?

It was only a day's march away.

"What, I have flowers on my face?" Sun Yi rolled his eyes and said, he was weak-hearted.

Lin Bei and Wei Ran put away their strange eyes, but they didn't suspect anything after all.

"The army of rebellion in the north, a total of 25,200 men, a total of 14,700 war horses." Fang Jue glanced at it, and was in the middle of the army, and calculated it for him.

"Huh?" The master bookkeeper held the abacus, and he still didn't believe it, but then he was shocked, "Is this really the number?" ”

Such a large number, it was calculated in an instant?

The master book immediately said: "The general is really an arithmetic wizard!" ”

Several of the main generals also agreed.

Fang Jue waved his hand, thinking to himself, don't boast, this is the elementary school level.

"Pass on my military order, immediately open, the light cavalry of the Yulin Army will be the vanguard, and the follow-up army will follow, Chen Bingshuangzhou!"

"Yes!" The three of them looked at each other, and they all had something to say, but they didn't question it.

Because from the point of view of the art of war and strategy, it is very stupid to send troops directly like this.

"Young Master, it's just Chen Bingshuang Prefecture, don't you attack the city?" Sun Yi scratched his head and said, feeling that he should still strike first and make a surprise attack.

Fang Jue shook his head: "Times have changed, General Sun." ”

"Huh?" Sun Yi was puzzled, and the other two generals were also a little puzzled.

"That's it, when the army arrives in Shuangzhou, everything I'm waiting for will arrive."

Fang Jue said: "This time, I brought a lot of soldiers and horses, but to prevent the plains from being attacked by the military formation, and you don't have to risk your life." ”

There are less than 30,000 people, of which more than 10,000 are still cavalry, and the siege is not so fun.

That is, the Beiliang border is now empty, otherwise how can you rely on the three battalions to go out.

"General, we are not the main force?" Sun Yi was shocked.

"This?" Wei Ran was also a little confused.

Only Lin Bei, as if he understood something, asked, "Is the general planning to use firearms?" ”

"Firearms?" Wei Ran and Sun Yi were a little puzzled.

They have no concept of firearms, only that a musket bureau has recently been established in the capital.

"What is a firearm?" Sun Yi was curious and questioning.

Fang Jue didn't explain much: "It's just the execution, and it will be displayed in Shuangzhou." ”

"This ......"

"General Sun, General Wei, firearms are so powerful that even the strong people on the emperor's master list can't stop it." Lin Bei is very confident.

The Yulin Army in the capital naturally knows more than outside.

And this disaster relief, although Lin Bei was not by Fang Jue's side when he rushed to Suzhou, he still learned some news about the battle with muskets.

"Use firearms to open the situation, and then use cavalry to force the battle, does the general plan to use this method of warfare?" North Lim Road.

"It's pretty much the same, but it depends on the local scene, and by the way, cut down some good timber along the way and make it into a catapult." Fang Jue commanded.

"How much?" Wei Ran asked.

"The more the merrier, the less load-bearing it requires, and the farther it can be bounced, the better."

……

Frost State.

As the closest state capital adjacent to Great Xia and outside of Liangzhou, when a large number of soldiers and horses marched on the front line of Liangzhou, the defenders of Shuangzhou naturally got the news.

After the scout returned, the Frost State guard looked disdainful:

"I don't even have 50,000 people, and I dare to attack Frost Prefecture?"

"Haha, Da Xia really thinks that I can't do it with only one Luo Yang in Beiliang?"

The general of the defending army also laughed: "General, there are only more than 30,000 people, we just need to hold on and pour the city walls and gates with ice water, and they will be helpless!" ”

Someone said: "More than 30,000 people, they can't surround Shuangzhou City, where did that Young Master of Great Xia get his confidence?" ”

There are many wildernesses in Beiliang, which can be described as vast, and the territory is wider than that in Great Xia, and every city is also more huge.

If it is summer, the body of these cities is revealed, and it is naturally not large. However, in winter, the water drips into ice, and the wall can be enlarged tenfold by pouring the walls in this way.

The cost is extremely low!

"Luo Shuai said that as long as we hold Shuangzhou, we will be able to make a marquis after he ascends the throne!"

"Just these more than 30,000 people, we just hold on, and if they don't provoke them immediately, they will definitely have no way to take Frost State!"

The defending generals were very confident.

Because past experience told them that Great Xia really had no way to use their traditional tactics in winter.

The main general said: "Send people out of the city, pour a lot of cold water on the ground, and pour a thick layer of ice on all the outside of the city gates of the four directions, so that their soldiers and horses can't even get close!" ”

"What a general's plan!" The crowd cheered.

When they thought of the army of Great Xia, they couldn't stand outside the city gate, and they were dancing with their hands, and everyone burst into a burst of unbridled laughter.

"Hmph, a milky kid who hasn't dried up, the Emperor Pavilion also ranks him in the first place among the wizards, how can he be?"

"I'm afraid it's not the illegitimate son of the old pavilion master, right? Hahaha......"

This year, the Emperor Pavilion updated the top ten lists, most of which are convincing to the world, but the extra wizard list is still not flattering.

One of the biggest reasons is that I haven't seen that wizard's skills.

"General, Emperor Zun Pavilion commented, saying that that the wizard is an all-rounder, are we too careless?" Someone persuaded.

"What are you afraid of, no matter how talented a person is, he can't attack Beiliang in winter, and Ye Xuanfeng has never done it!"

"That's ...... too"

"I don't know where Luo Shuai is fighting now, we are already on this boat, he must not be defeated." For the enemy from Liangzhou, the main general did not take it to heart, and was more worried about the defeat of Luoyang.

Luoyang's soldiers and horses, all the armies in the north and south of Liang have made up for a while, and they are all counted as shares, and they will all be guilty of rebellion in the future, and they will also punish the nine clans.
