Chapter 13 Make a Plan
Hong Shan will turn fifteen years old this year, but he feels like a twenty-five-year-old. Since encountering the Traveler One, I have been tired every day, and I feel that my lifespan has been shortened.
"No, next time I'll find them to compensate me for the loss of my youth." Hong Shan gritted his teeth in the dark way.
"Hong, what's wrong, do you have a toothache?" My sister Mna asked with concern when she saw his expression on the other side.
"Oh, no, I feel sorry for you guys who are too good to eat," Hong Shan deliberately covered his forehead.
"you," unsurprisingly, drew a wave of contempt from his friends. Everyone was sleepy anyway, so they were chatting happily and coaxing.
"Huh," a sharp voice came from the distance, and everyone heard it, and asked curiously, "Hong, is this the cannon you made?" So loud. ”
Hong Shan stood up smartly, came to the edge of the mountain, and commanded the guards standing next to him: "Go down quickly, and ask what happened?" Seeing Hong Shan's solemn expression, several friends also knew that something was wrong.
At this time, there were two more "boom, boom," arrow alarms from the bottom of the mountain, which indicated that something urgent and important had happened, and Hong Shan immediately ran towards the camp headquarters.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the headquarters, Hong Da hurriedly ran over: "Young master, there are other tribes invading. I just received a person who escaped from the tribe said that the Chiyou Jiuli tribe in the northwest had surrounded our tribe at the bottom of the mountain, saying that they would surrender and not kill. ”
Hong Shan asked anxiously, "When is it?" ”
"Last night's Chinese New Year's Eve, but there was no attack, just surrounding. And it is said that several other tribes in the vicinity were also surrounded. The demands are the same, saying that it is surrender and not killing, and the deadline is before the sun rises tomorrow morning. ”
Hearing this, Hong Shan relaxed slightly. Because these days are cloudy, there is occasional rain and snow.
"Is our tribe surrounded?" A few friends who came behind him also heard Hongda's report, and they were very anxious, and asked in unison.
Hong's eyebrows furrowed, "Well, all five of our tribes are surrounded. The reason for the time given for surrender is probably to capture the captives and avoid causing them casualties. Also, prepare them to attack. Hong Da said his guess.
"1. Shut the gate of the camp for me, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my warrant; 2. Immediately send a reconnaissance platoon to the five tribes to find out what the specific situation is; 3. Issue a first-level mobilization order and prepare all staff for combat. and to the reservists and their families, all of whom were given weapons; Fourth, inform Hong Mi that from now on, all-weather production of military materials, priority will be given to arrows and javelins. ”
Hong Shan was calm and calm, after issuing a series of orders. The good friends who were anxious and stood aside persuaded him: "Don't worry, everyone, it won't help you to go back now, and you alone can't save the tribe." ”
Taking a deep breath, he continued to comfort: "Please trust me, let's figure it out together, things aren't that bad, okay?" ”
The two sisters, Mu Na and Zha Hua, cried and cried, insisting on returning to the Mu tribe immediately to stay with their parents.
"Hey," Hong Shan had no choice but to quickly slash them out with a quick swing of his palm, and arranged for a few strong female family members to take care of and guard them.
Zhou Li and Ji Xin, these men are okay and more sensible. Knowing that it was time to solve the problem, not create it, he quickly calmed down and thought about the rescue on the side.
Just after noon, the reconnaissance platoon sent out in the early morning returned. The intelligence of the five tribes was analyzed and filtered by Hong Gao, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon, and then reported in a unified manner.
At this time, Hongshan asked someone to bring the sisters over and let them participate and listen together.
At the camp headquarters, the platoon commander drew a sketch with a charcoal pen.
With the light cavalry camp as the central point, the five tribes were in the south, west, and east. If you walk, the farthest is the Dada tribe in the east, which takes a day;
The nearest is the Mu tribe in the south, which is a half-day walk. The Mengshi tribe, the Huangzi tribe, and the Yao tribe are all in the same direction, to the west, and it takes half a day to walk.
But the main force of the Hongjia army is light cavalry, and if you are fast, it only takes one-fifth of the time to reach these tribes.
The non-main force is the reserve army, which is mainly responsible for the defense of the camp. The family members assisted in logistics this time and made every effort to produce arrows and javelins, which were all manual work.
"Riding from us, is the road easy now? Does it affect a rainy day? Hong Shan asked sharply.
Reconnaissance platoon commander Hong Gao: "No problem, it's more difficult to walk, but there is no pressure when riding a horse." After saying that, he went on to report:
"The besieged Dada tribe was a small leader named Yu Ren, with a strength of about five thousand;
The Mu tribe is in charge of the small leader of the Jiutian, with a strength of about 1,005;
The small leader of the mountain led a group of men and horses to besiege the warrior tribe, with a strength of about 2,005;
The small leader named Xia Hu went to besiege the Huangzi tribe, with a strength of about 3,000;
The Yao tribe was surrounded by Chi You's own brother, Chi Huang, with a strength of about 2,000. ”
As soon as Hong Shan saw this information, he understood the intentions of the Jiuli tribe.
Difficult bones, such as the Dada tribe, is a large tribe of more than 10,000 people, and the terrain is dangerous, so strong troops are sent to suppress it.
And the Mu tribe and their own Yao tribe are only a small tribe of about a thousand people, so they are surrounded by weak soldiers. Strive to get the maximum benefit with the least effort.
took the reconnaissance platoon commander and handed it over, a hand of raw information. Hong Shan carefully looked at the scouts' hand-drawn drawings on the front line, the layout of the enemy's camp, and the analysis suggestions.
After reading it, he handed over this original information to the heads of several cavalry battalions in Hongda, so that they could understand it and consider how to formulate a battle plan.
At present, Hongshan has fully delegated and decentralized power in many things. Only in this way can brainstorming and the team progress faster. Like Zhuge Liang's nanny-style team, it belongs to the consciousness of small farmers.
Hong Da and the company commanders and platoon commanders of several cavalry battalions discussed on the side. said: "We think about it this way, this time the tactical name is to attack the east and the west, save the south." ”
When the other people in the command heard this, they were stunned, what does this mean? After Hong Shan listened, he pondered for a while, nodded silently in approval, and coincided with his own thoughts: "Hong Da, you continue." ”
"As the name suggests, it is aimed at the small leader of the Yu people who are besieging the Dada tribe in the east, and we mainly harass him, restraining his forces, and holding him back from attacking. And to concentrate all our forces, we will first destroy the Chi Huang who is besieging the Yao tribe, after all, there are only 2,000 troops here. Hong Da paused, after giving everyone some time to digest.
He continued: "The meaning of saving Bu Nan is to take advantage of his unpreparedness, and then wave his troops to relieve the Mu tribe in the south nearby, and eat the 1,500 people here. ”
"What about the siege of the Warrior Tribe and the Yellow Character Tribe, how to solve it?" Zhou Li, Ji Xin, and Hou Sheng of the Warrior tribe asked with concern.
Hong Da understood the anxiety of several of them and replied: "I also sent troops to harass and contain them first." After the siege of the Mu tribe and the Yao tribe was lifted, we could concentrate these two tribes, the main force of about 1,000 soldiers and the non-main force of 2,000 people. ”
Looking at the eager eyes of Zhou Li, Ji Xin, and Hou Sheng, Hong Da continued: "When you sneak back to the Mengshi tribe, we will attack the weak points in the mountain inside and outside, and finally destroy him." ”
Hong laughed: "The Yellow Character Tribe also uses this method to attack Xia Hu's weak points, and when the time comes, it is necessary to ask the reconnaissance platoon to contribute to explore the virtual reality." Finally, he will deal with the small leader of the Yu people, after all, he has 5,000 people besieging the Dada tribe, and he is the strongest. ”
"Any other suggestions? A little bit can be said, maybe you can change the situation, and we will brainstorm ideas. Hong Shan looked at everyone with encouraging eyes.
As a result, the first person to stand up and speak was her sister Zha Hua. She took the hand-drawn camp layout and looked at it carefully with her sister, and the two of them muttered a few words in a whisper.
"Let's say a few words, it's not a suggestion." Because they were very familiar with the terrain around the Mu tribe, they told everyone where the little leader of the Jiutian was staying for everyone's reference.
With this version of the sisters, several other friends also stood up and communicated with each of them about the terrain around their tribe that needed attention, so that Hong Da and the others had a more intuitive understanding.
