Chapter 163: Mobei Yingzui Ridge

"Young marshal, what do you think we should do now? Since Mu Tony has set up a Hongmen banquet at Eagle Tsui Ridge and has a heavy army, our previous plan to lure the enemy will not work? Long Jianfei asked with a frown.

All of a sudden, his head seemed to have opened a little.

"Yes, young marshal, you have to tell everyone, otherwise, we won't be able to sleep tonight." Lan Tianhe agreed.

Ma, as long as you two guys have the ability, you can sing and harmonize with more, and you don't use your brain, just wait to eat ready-made.

Zhao Sanchun, who was sitting on the sidelines, watched coldly, grumbling in his stomach.

He's still sulking about what came before.

Guo Rui grinned when he heard this, but did not answer, but concentrated on drinking the old pot and gnawing on horse meat.

At this time, Long Jianfei and Lan Tianhe, including Zhao Sanchun, the three generals Yingyang, really had no idea.

They were still reminiscing about the words of Qulandab before he died.

Rough soldiers like them, I don't know what the military book looks like, and I really haven't read any military books.

Don't say that there is a shortage of military books now, ordinary people can hardly see them, and even if they do, they can't read them.

I don't have much literacy, and now I read official documents, military intelligence reports, and the like, and I guess it.

Therefore, their cognition and insight into the entire battle, as well as the response to emergencies, of course, cannot be compared with Guo Rui after the God of War.

Guo Rui understands this, and he naturally doesn't need to be modest.

I saw that he finished gnawing a large piece of roast horse meat, drank most of the pot of turbid wine, wiped his hands on his military uniform, nodded with a serious expression, glanced at a few generals with troops around him and said:

"Since Mutoni has a heavy army in the Eagle Tsui Ridge, there must be more than more than 20,000 troops we have already reconnoitred, there should be other conspiracies, and we are not very familiar with the terrain, so we can't easily rush in, camp here, and wait for the reply from the Dali City."

"Don't worry, I have sent three groups of scouts back to Dali City to inform Duji Kefan and Princess Wencheng of the military situation, and ask Duji Kefan to come with reinforcements with the golden wolf horse."

During the war, scouts were the eyes and ears of the troops.

But it is also a high-risk group, and the mortality rate is extremely high.

When they are on a mission, they are often attacked by enemy scouts, or rangers who specialize in dealing with enemy scouts.

Therefore, the sergeant who can act as a scout must be an experienced veteran.

In wartime, the commander-in-chief always sends several groups of scouts out to perform the same tasks.

The east does not light up and the west shines, just in case.

"Okay, let's camp on the spot tonight, divided into three campsites, arranged in a zigzag pattern."

"Each cavalry department takes the tun as one, and divides the finished glyph, sends more ranger sentries and dark sentries out, and makes a fire to eat and feed the horses at five watches tomorrow morning."

Guo Rui made specific arrangements.

When everyone saw the young marshal's orderly arrangement, they couldn't help but admire it greatly.

These methods of arranging troops and setting up camp are all described in detail by the god of war in the chapter of marching and fighting.

Guo Rui took out one of the sets according to local conditions and applied them.

In addition, he knew in his heart:

A night attack on the desert is highly unlikely, as you won't find the enemy's location during the day, let alone the enemy's camp at night.

Of course, there is an exception, that is, knowing the enemy's camp, and the specific location is also clear, at this time it is possible to consider a night attack.

However, soldiers do not tire of deceit.

In many night raids, the enemy will often sing empty accounts, luring you to go deep into the air, and then come to a counter-encirclement, so that you will lose your troops.

In addition, there must be a reference direction for a night attack, and it is not easy for everyone to confuse which direction to attack.

Otherwise, everyone will be confused, and they will not be able to distinguish between the front and back, the left and right, and it will be easy to hurt each other.

Due to the rough habits of the Turks, as well as the characteristics of their warfare, they were not good at night attacks.

Of course, anything is possible, just in case.

Therefore, Guo Rui considered turning the three cavalry units into a large character and encamping in order.

Each cavalry department takes the battalion as the main body, and the finished font is camped.

Once attacked, the team can counterattack in a finished formation.

In this way, they are interdependent, and take the flag as the benchmark as the direction, and there will be no confusion.

Tomorrow will be a battle that will come out of the nest.

Guo Rui asked everyone to have a good rest at night, and after the fifth watch, he pulled out the camp and marched to the front.

Before the big battle, he was also very nervous, because this victory or defeat was very important.

……

Eagle Tsui Ridge.

A mountain range on the west side of the Dayin Mountain Range outside the Saiwai.

It is a flat land among many hills, and the terrain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack.

Viewed from a distance, it looks like the long beak of a giant eagle, and some people call it 'Eagle Tsui Ridge'.

Yingzui Ridge is about 700 miles deep from the mouth of the Killing Tiger, and it is completely a desert outside the fortress, which is a dangerous area for the final Jin army.

And Yingzui Ridge itself is indeed a treasure of feng shui.

There are large wetlands, and there is a small natural lake in the valley, which has enough water to feed hundreds of thousands of people, including cattle and sheep.

This place, after the continuous operation of the Turks for many years and months, is now quite large-scale.

The camp stood tall, with rows of fences surrounding the whole camp, and high watchtowers stood at the four corners.

There are bed crossbows and strong crossbows on the surrounding hills, and the defense is relatively tight.

If you attack strongly, not to mention tens of thousands of light cavalry, it is 100,000 horses, plus heavy armored cavalry, and then use eight ox crossbows, car crossbows, etc., you will not be able to take it in the short term.

Here, not only was it a defense for the Turkic soldiers, but also a hundred miles to the north, which was the tent camp of the Uighur royal family.

Therefore, if you can't solve it quickly and use strange tricks, it will be difficult to get here.

This time, it was the Western Turks who took the initiative to provoke the war, and the flames of war burned to the northern frontier of the Final Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, Guo Rui is not afraid of making things bigger.

Yingzui Ridge was originally the territory of the famous horse bandits in Mobei and Moasan.

Mutoni led the Western Turkic Tiger Division, defeated the Moa Three Horse Bandits, and besieged Eagle Tsui Ridge.

During this period, Mu Toni used the car crossbows, eight-ox crossbows and large stone throwers smuggled by the Cao family to bombard Eagle Tsui Ridge indiscriminately.

Moasan was frightened, and he negotiated with Mutoni to finally submit to the Western Turks.

After Mutoni entered Eagle Tsui Ridge, he fell in love with the place and was ready to make it his permanent base.

With this base, it will be possible to garrison troops for a long time and become a bridgehead that can be attacked and defended. At present, there are more than 12,000 people in the main tiger division under the command of Mu Toni, 15,000 people in the Eagle Division integrated with clan soldiers, and more than 4,000 remnants of horse bandits.

This time, the final Jin army wiped out 3,000 men and horses of Gulandab, so the actual strength of Mutoni was still more than 27,000 people.

And the horse bandits and the eagle division soldiers all brought their families with them, as well as the border people of the final Jin Dynasty who plundered.

In this way, the actual population of Yingzui Ridge has reached the scale of 60,000 or 70,000 people.

These captured border people of the Final Jin Dynasty, as long as they were not Uighurs and Tiele people in the steppe desert, would have become slaves of the Turkic soldiers.
