The commander of the Yanyun Army is equivalent to a brigade commander, and the number of soldiers and horses under his command is about 6,000 people, which belongs to the senior generals.

But this is only the general establishment of the Yanyun Army, and there are other special existences.

For example, Sun Changshan's civil engineering battalion, although it is a battalion formation, is a battalion directly under Lin Yuezhong's army, with a scale of 2,000 people, which is equivalent to a regiment.

"Wu Tiangui?" Xiao Chen looked at the middle-aged man who had been standing silently on the side, "It's time for you to take a stand, three thousand people for half a month's food and grass equipment, twenty cannons and ammunition, cowhide tents, charcoal and firewood for heating, and fifty ironclad ballistas...... How long will it take? ”

Wu Tiangui is the captain of the logistics transportation team under Lin Yue, and he is also in charge of 2,000 men, with the rank of captain.

"If you go back to the boss, if it's night, it will take half a day to transport it!" Wu Tiangui replied cleanly, "It won't be slower, it will only be faster!" ”

"The tent doesn't have to be transported, the wind is strong on the mountain, and the cowhide tent can be blown through, and the tent target is too big, and it is easy to expose our troops, and the subordinates can dig some holes on the hillside, which is much stronger than the tent, and you can also make a fire inside, as long as you poke out a chimney." Sun Changshan Road.

"That hill is bare and has no grass and trees, I think it's called Bald Mountain." Lin Feixiong said.

"Haha, I think it's very vivid, then our operation will be called 'Mountain Occupation Project'." Zhang Hengdao.

"Lin Yue?" Xiao Chen looked at Lin Yue.

"I think it's possible." Lin Yue said, "But since it is to coordinate with Zhang Mingyuan and them as infantry artillery, it is more appropriate for our brothers of Yanyun Army to go, I will transfer two thousand five hundred heavy infantry and five hundred musketeers, and let Guanshan be the main general, and Mingyuan will be the deputy general." ”

"Then do it!" Xiao Chen didn't hesitate anymore, and waved his big hand, "Without further ado, let's act tonight, now let's discuss how to attack this feint?" ”

"From the point of view of the command, there is no need to feint, let's just really launch an attack." Zhang Heng said, "Last night, you rushed to kill, it was a shocking bow, tonight we will really fight the birds, and knock with them, our White Dragon Guard is originally a cavalry, and charging into battle is a little better than defending the city." ”

Zhang Heng's current strategic thinking has begun to move closer to Xiao Chen, and he still has a little opinion, but he has kept it for the time being, and he will never collide with Xiao Chen face to face, but follow his train of thought and do his duty as a general.

Just because Xiao Chen's reasoning is clear, he pays attention to what he does, and the command is also clear.

"What General Zhang said is extremely true, the last general is not talented, and he is willing to take this position!" Xu Zhisheng said, "I didn't enjoy the killing last night, and I want to do it again today!" There are more than 2,000 people under my command, and they have rested enough in the past few days, just to rush and kill! ”

"Whether it's a feint attack or a real fight, 2,000 people is definitely not enough." Lin Feixiong said, "I think there are at least 5,000 people, General Xu was tired enough to fight in the middle of the night last night, why don't you give the credit to your brother this time?" General Xu's 2,000 soldiers and horses, plus 3,000 from my headquarters, can be compared to Duan Fengnian's hard steel at once. ”

"General Xu, you still have the heavy responsibility of defending the city, how can you move lightly? Or I'll go! Xu Zhisheng said, "I'm not as good as you Brother Lin when it comes to leading soldiers, but when it comes to martial arts, I'm afraid I'm better than you!" If you don't believe me, let's do it? ”

"Hahaha, whether it is leading soldiers or martial arts, the little brother is not as good as you Brother Xu." Lin Feixiong laughed, "But it's useless for our brothers to compete, we have to be handsome to decide!" Dashuai, the last general is also willing to go, just say that this credit must be evenly shared, everyone must have a share, you can't be biased! ”

"I think I still have to let the prince decide." Xiao Chen was noncommittal, but his eyes drifted around Li Qiu, with a meaningful look.

Li Qiu was suddenly alert, what do you mean, Brother Xiao? It won't be for this king to personally lead his troops to fight this battle!

This king is a prince, he may be the prince in the future, and he may be the son of heaven in the future...... How can a body of gold be put in danger?

"Don't fight, everyone, this battle will go in person." I think so, and I have to say this.

But I think the big guy will resolutely stop it, so let's discuss it again......

"The prince is mighty!" Xiao Chen exclaimed loudly, "If the prince goes in person, this battle will be won!" ”

it?

Li Qiu was stunned when he heard this, why don't you kid follow the script? You also advise me, I have always been a good person!

"The prince is wise and martial, and the last general is extremely admired!" Zhang Heng and the others were also led off the pace by Xiao Chen, patronizing and applauding, and forgetting that the prince of the family was a golden body......

To put it bluntly, even if Li Qiu goes here, it will not have a great impact on the entire battle situation, because Xiao Chen is here, Xiao Chen is the de facto commander-in-chief, so everyone calls him the marshal, but the nominal coach Li Qiu is the prince.

Of course, if Li Qiu had any accidents, it would have little impact on the battle situation, and it would have a great impact on the Korean situation, but in Zhang Heng's opinion, it was also a good impact......

In this way, no matter whether Li Qiu is alive or dead, they will be very pleased.

"This king ......" Li Qiudu was speechless!

"If the prince goes, then 5,000 people will not be enough, I think it will be at least 10,000 people." Xiao Chen said, "In order to achieve the strategic goal of this battle, we must invest a lot of money, Xu Zhisheng has 2,000 soldiers and horses, Lin Feixiong has 3,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Heng has 3,000 soldiers and horses, Lin Yue, you can mobilize 3,000 soldiers and horses, let's do it with them." ”

The main general has been decided, the strategic thinking has been unified, and all that remains is to study the specific battle plan.

10,000 people is already a lot, but they are still at a great disadvantage in terms of troops, fortunately, this operation will be launched at night, and it can be regarded as a large-scale surprise attack, Duan Fengnian They must not have expected it, so they are not well prepared, which is their advantage.

If you blindly charge, you will definitely suffer, Duan Fengnian's camp, 10,000 people are afraid and can't break through.

Even if he breaks through, Duan Fengnian can also reorganize his forces to counterattack, then it will be easy to be divided and outflanked by the other party, and each one will be broken.

Therefore, everyone thinks that the main battlefield should be set up in the open space between the own city and the opponent's camp, first arrange the formation, and then rush the camp with a heavy cavalry, if it goes well, charge and kill for a while, and if it is blocked, it will be withdrawn.

If the pursuers arrive, the ironclad ballistas and musketeers lined up before the battle will be able to exert their maximum power and deal a head-on blow to the opponent, and then the light cavalry in ambush on both flanks can be dispatched to attack from both sides!

After making a circle under the city, the heavy cavalry could make a detour from the left flank to charge the opposing reinforcements or block the defeated pursuers.

If Duan Fengnian couldn't figure out the situation and didn't dare to make a big move, it would be even better.

Because our strategic purpose was not to fight, but to cover Xue Guanshan, and Zhang Mingyuan's troops occupied that mountain...... Bald Mountain.
