Chapter 385: The Great War is about to begin

The You*** team swayed all the way west, and finally entered the territory of Dai County. Different from fighting in the territory of Youguo, Youguo has not invested in infrastructure such as roads at all because of financial problems, so the roads in Youguo are very poor, with cloudy rain, storms and snowfall, and roads are almost cut off.

However, the roads in Daijun are very good, and the straight roads are all compacted with soil, and in the flat places, the roads are fifty paces wide, and the two sides of the roads are rammed with metal cones, and a tree is planted every three zhang. This time is different from going to Liaoxi and Liaodong to fight with the Japanese army, the road is very easy to walk, and the flat gallop road provides good road conditions for the army to march, Duan Yilu expects that they will be able to reach Dai County in just over ten days, which is much easier than fighting in Liaoxi and Liaodong.

And when you arrive in Daijun, you can already see a lot of traces of war, and there are tall guard towers on the road every once in a while, but there is no one on duty at this time. In the past, when there were people on duty, if the people could see their traces from a distance when they went south, they told the villagers to flee quickly.

From time to time, you can still meet wild dogs with scarlet eyes on the side of the road, looking curiously at them as they walk, and then turn and flee into the grass.

Duan Yilu stayed in the village at night, and saw some charred ruins at the entrance of the village, which were left behind by the Bearded People when they went south last year.

Daijun is located in the border, perennial attack by the Devils, last year the Devils went south two or three times, and there was a big battle with the Tang Army, and finally the Devils had no choice but to retreat.

By the end of May, the army of Youguo was not far from Dai County.

The scouts in front came to report to Yan Wuhuan, saying that the Tang army stayed in Daixian with the strength of one division, and the other two divisions set up barracks on both sides of the city, and Wang Bo, the king of the Tang Dynasty, personally sat in Daixian.

After getting the news, Yan Wuhuan immediately reacted. He asked Duan Yilu beside him, "Where are we now?"

Duan Yilu looked at the map taken out by his soldiers for a while and said, "I have already come to the city, it should be in the north of Dai County, and it is about eighty miles away from Dai County."

Yan Wuhuan looked at the sky for a moment, and then asked the scouts beside him, "Where is the nearest village and town ahead?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a village called Nanwa on the side of the avenue five or six miles ahead." The scout immediately agreed.

Yan Wuhuan beckoned, asked the herald to come over, and then ordered: "Two orders, one is to let the armies stop advancing, rest on the spot, and let the generals above the adjutant general of each army wait for me in Nanwa Village in front.

Second, immediately hurry south, find some guides who are familiar with the situation in the south, at least ten, come and go quickly, and if you can't come back by this time tomorrow, the prince has picked your skin."

"No!" The herald agreed, and immediately set off to deliver orders.

Yan Wuhuan said to Duan Yilu nearby: "Let the Chinese army also stop, rest on the spot, you go to Nanwa Village with me."

"Whoa!" Duan Yilu agreed, immediately went to order everyone to stop, and then rode with Shi Congyun to Nanwa Village in the south.

After arriving, the soldiers had already taken the first step, occupying a spacious courtyard in the village, preparing clear water and waiting for them to arrive.

After Yan Wuhuan entered, he took the water and drank two scoops, and then handed the gourd scoop to Duan Yilu and the others in the back, and asked them to fetch water and drink in turn, these days have entered the summer, the scorching sun is on the head, and the temperature is blazing.

Yan Wuhuan sat under the eaves of the courtyard and thought about things. The generals of the various departments came one after another, and everyone had to fetch water to drink as soon as they arrived, and the water in the clay jar in the courtyard was quickly drunk.

Yan Wuhuan didn't say a word, he was still wandering around the world, thinking about things, everyone present didn't dare to disturb him, but stayed outside in the courtyard to bask in the sun, fortunately, there was a jujube tree in the corner of the yard, and everyone was crowded in the shade to enjoy the shade.

However, that place was not big, and few people approached Duan Yilu when he went to that station. A lieutenant general saw that it was not a way for so many people to sit, so he found a stool for the generals to do.

However, where can such a small stool withstand the weight of a strong man in the army who is tall and tall and wearing armor, Duan Yilu sat down and directly folded the small stool with a "click".

Everyone looked at him one after another, and Duan Yilu stood up without changing his face, still the personable Confucian general in the army.

This is positive

It alarmed Yan Wuhuan and brought him back from his thoughts, and when he saw everyone basking in the sun in the yard, he said puzzledly: "Come here to enjoy the cool, why are you standing outside?"

Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly walked to the cool place under the eaves.

Yan Wuhuan looked around and asked, "Have all the people arrived?"

Duan Yilu replied, "Feng Yu hasn't come yet, his forward is the farthest away from here, more than twenty miles away, and it will take a while."

Yan Wuhuan nodded, stood up and looked at the sun in the sky: "Okay, I'll just say it, don't wait for him first." Saying that, Yan Wuhuan sat down, and everyone was already subconsciously sitting around him.

As soon as he spoke, the generals who were still whispering just now quieted down, and the dozens of high-ranking generals in this small courtyard were indeed a little crowded.

Yan Wuhuan explained, "The reason why I stopped was because I was almost in Dai County, and eighty miles further south we could reach Dai County, where the Tang army was stationed to guard against us."

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, he has already carefully studied a lot of news through scouts, and the female cadres of Youguo have already gone deep into Daijun.

In fact, this is not difficult, because although Daijun is under the rule of the Tang State, it has only been a few years after all. Youguo has been owned by Daijun for hundreds of years, and there are a large number of remnants of Youguo living here, and some of them are willing to help Youguo, thinking that Youguo is their mother country.

And it's easier for these people to buy, because there is no moral burden, and you can say to yourself in your heart that I don't want to betray the Tang Kingdom, but to help Youguo, which is the best of both worlds. In this case, it is actually much easier to get information about Daigun.

Yan Wuhuan continued: "Tang State is different from the Japanese army we fought before, their main force is in Yongzhou and Bingzhou, and the Japanese army used to move slowly, so it was not fast to send troops, and this place in Bingzhou can't be fast even if you want to.

If the Tang State wants to send the main army to support Daijun, it must gather a large army, and then go east from Bingzhou, General Duan has estimated that it will take at least twenty days for the news to be transmitted back and forth plus the assembly of the army, and then to the east! In this battle, we are fighting with the speed of soldiers, and this is the month!"

Speaking of this, Feng Yuye arrived in the dust, drank a large scoop of water and came in and stood aside.

In fact, before sending troops, Yan Wuhuan had already thought about how to fight this grand strategy, and combined with the information he knew and the information provided by the assassins, he already had an overall operational concept.

Youguo fought with the Japanese army for so long, but Tang did not move, and the army did not invade eastward. Some of the civil officials in the court said that it was because his father was wise and martial, and he had frightened the Tang army thousands of miles away, and he was not even ready to ask for such a good opportunity to invade.

In fact, this problem is not a problem at all, if you understand a little geography, it is obvious that it takes time for the Tang army to assemble, and it takes even more time to go east.

The Tang Kingdom is now set in Chang'an City, Guanzhong, about 1,800 miles away from Daijun, and there are mountains and mountains in the middle, how can it be flown over.

The Tang State gathered heavy troops in Bingzhou and Jizhou to prepare to attack the Youguo army, but Youguo suddenly withdrew its troops (the Japanese army entered Jidu), and the Tang State did not send troops to Shanggu County again, acquiescing in the result of Youguo recapturing Shanggu County.

It is very likely that Tang Guo did not send troops after the retreat of the Youjun army, and it was probably because he felt that Shanggu County was not important, it was too far away from them, and it was not easy to defend, and it was two thousand miles away from Chang'an. But they still gathered heavy troops, indicating that they were ready to fight, that is, once Youguo attacked Daijun, the army would go east and north to support. Shanggu County is too close to Jidu, and it doesn't matter if it's not easy to keep, but Daijun is important.

And Yan Wuhuan stubbornly grasped one point, that is, it would take about a month for the Tang State to gather a large army to march eastward, and they only had to face the Tang army of Daijun in this month, and these Tang troops could never be the opponents of the Central Forbidden Army of Youguo.

Yan Wuhuan continued, "Now that the Tang army is concentrated in Dai County, as long as we surround Dai County with a large army and destroy this Tang army, we will be able to recapture Dai County. Then the army marched westward and held back the Tang army, which was preparing to come to the east to support, and we won.

You must remember, don't be afraid of war, the main force of the Tang army is far away in Chang'an, more than a thousand miles away from here, and the eastward journey will be at least twenty days later, and in these twenty days, we will only face the enemy of Daijun, no matter what, they are not us

opponents. The first 20 days of this battle must be fast and ruthless, and the Tang army must not be given a chance to breathe."

Yan Wuhuan's expression was serious, and he tried to speak slowly and clearly, so that everyone could hear it clearly and remember it in their hearts.

The generals nodded and saluted, "Obey the Prince's orders!"

Yan Wuhuan raised his horsewhip, pointed at the generals sitting around and said, "Okay, I'll have some generals next, Feng Yu, Pei Kai, Wang Yu, you each bring the elite of your headquarters, and you will set off as soon as the guide arrives tomorrow, and launch an attack as soon as you reach Dai County in the south.

Li Hong, Du Qun, Song Gai, Liu Mu, after you lead the elite of your headquarters to Dai County, you will surround the two camps of the Tang army outside the city, I do not ask you to break through the camps, but you must entangle the Tang troops in the camp for me, and you are not allowed to let them support Dai County."

"Whoa!" Several of the generals whose names were called arched their hands.

Yan Wuhuan nodded, and then said: "Let me emphasize again, this battle is fast, we must try our best to take Daijun within the time when the main army of the Tang State has no time to support, and how to fight it is up to the generals you lead the troops to decide."

This prince believes that you are all generals with great achievements in a hundred battles, and you know how to deal with it, once this twenty-day opportunity is missed, and the support of the Tang army comes, we will not dare to divide our troops to fight so unscrupulously."

Feng Yu patted his chest and swore solemnly: "Please rest assured, the prince is just cleaning up the local army of the Tang Kingdom, if this can't be done, then you can take off this head."

Feng Yu's words drew laughter from everyone.

Yan Wuhuan frowned slightly, and said, "Your head is worthless, and it's useless for this prince to ask for it."

Yan Wuhuan looked at Duan Yilu and said, "Old general, our Chinese army is sitting twenty miles away from Dai County, providing advice to the troops in front."

Duan Yilu stroked his beard, nodded, and said, "Huh!"

Yan Wuhuan looked around at everyone, his expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "The last and most important point, after twenty days, no matter what the battle situation is, whether it is going smoothly or not, you must move closer to me and join my Chinese army, if there is a violation, no matter who you are, you will be dealt with by military law!"

Seeing that he was suddenly serious, many generals nodded one after another.

Yan Wuhuan explained: "Twenty days later, the Tang army may also arrive, and then we will not be able to divide our troops, we must gather to confront the Tang army in Dai County, and ensure that Dai County will take the land that has been seized, and if it is still scattered, it will probably be broken by each one."

He needed to make the generals understand the seriousness and necessity of the matter.

Song Gai nodded and praised, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clever and can be retracted freely!"

Yan Wuhuan smiled, "Okay, let's go and execute the order."

"No!" Everyone said in unison, the sound was neat and loud, and the roof was shaken to ashes, which startled Yan Wuhuan.

All the arrangements were made in this small village, and the battle was about to begin when the army went south again......
