Chapter 461: Tangled

The second prince was indeed depressed, and the words of the Mongolian side made the second prince suspicious, and at the military meeting, the second prince carefully observed the expressions of the generals.

When they heard that the entire pioneer battalion was going to be replaced, most of the generals had shocked expressions. When the general who spoke for the military adviser spoke, although the other generals did not speak, it was clear that they all supported the general.

Hmph! Is there no one who can be a pioneer officer except for the military advisor?

The second prince was indignant, and if the military advisor could fight well, he would definitely be able to fight well. If you don't make a result, I'm afraid it's really the same as what the Mongolian side said, and the soldiers will only recognize the military advisor in the future, but not the prince.

Although it is not a force to override public opinion, the second prince is also in the silent questioning, hanging the pioneer of the seal, leading 10,000 people, ready to go to Yingchou Crossing.

This Eagle Sorrow Crossing is a pass separated by the last mountain range between Lingtu City and Soul Fortune City. After the Eagle Sorrow Crossing, it is a smooth road, and you can go directly to the big river at the edge of the Soul Luck City.

Although the second prince wanted to prove himself, before leaving for Yingchou Crossing, he still found Qin Ning and asked Qin Ning's opinion.

Ying Choudu, when Qin Ning had just captured Panlong Ridge, he sent a horse scout to reconnoitre.

This pass is steep and steep, but the surrounding roads are very open, which can realize the deployment of large-scale forces and concentrate a certain scale of attack forces for concentrated attacks.

But the key to Eagle Chou Ferry is not here, but the construction fortifications built here on the side of Soul Fortune City are extremely special.

The origin of the name of the place is because there is a river that runs through the last mountain leading to the Soul Luck City, and this river is very strange. There are three waterfalls with a drop of more than 10 zhang. The river is all wrapped between the two mountains, not to mention a large group of people. Even if you ride alone, you can't cross this river directly.

The only place where there are no steep slopes on either side. And the place where the water is gentle and can cross this river is the Eagle Chou Crossing.

It is a perennial perennial impact of the current, forming a huge pool of water like a deposit. On the surface of the water, there are no fluctuations, as if it is a pool of stagnant water.

But in fact, there is an undercurrent underneath that is extremely dangerous.

Whether it's a bird in the sky, a beast on the ground, or a human ship. As long as you think the water is calm and go into the water, you will often disappear immediately, and you will not even be able to see a corpse.

Therefore, in this only place with access conditions, a ferry crossing was built, and the two sides were connected by iron chains, and when the crossing was made, it was only possible to pass through the guò iron chain.

On the opposite side of Eagle Choudu, the army of the Yelan King built large and small fortifications. From long-range to short-range, all kinds of cross-strike ordnance cross-configurations, as long as there are suspicious targets, on the opposite side of Yingchou Crossing. You can control the distance of 300 zhang on the other side.

Qin Ning introduced these situations to the second prince, and the second prince was also a little worried, this was an easier place to defend and difficult to attack than Panlongling. If you storm it. Consume the opponent's ordnance baggage with human lives, this 10,000 people. You have to consume half of it.

This consumption is unbearable for the second prince.

"Strategist. Is there a good plan?" the second prince asked, after a moment's consideration.

"Your Highness, if you want to take down Yingchoudu, you have to be a trick, you see ......" Speaking of this, Qin Ning took out the sketch he had drawn, pointed and said, "We have to pass through the road of Yingchoudu, it is the only road to Soul Luck City, ten miles in front of Yingchoudu, because of the terrain, the road built is very wide, which is suitable for the deployment of troops, but at the same time it also brings some inconvenience." ”

Qin Ning groaned, and then said, "The terrain on our side is obviously a little lower than on the other side. The other party took advantage of this advantage and set up numerous long-range attack fortifications opposite the Eagle Chou Crossing. These fortifications are unusually strong, and we can't effectively send our troops over, so my idea is to use our aircraft to destroy most of these fortifications and then force them over. ”

For this idea, the second prince had a headache.

The method is a good way, but the consumption of materials is too great.

If it is close to Lingtu City, these consumption is still within the bearable range, but after all, this is far away from Lingtu City, and this is not the main battlefield that determines the outcome of the last move, but only a stronghold on the periphery of Soul Fortune City, even if it is won according to Qin Ning's method, the trouble behind is too great.

Because attacking Soul Fortune City is an extremely difficult battle, if the material reserves are insufficient, it is tantamount to suicide.

According to Qin Ning's plan to achieve victory, there are only two choices, one is to wait for the arrival of new materials in Yingchoudu, and the other is to urge Lingtu City to speed up the delivery of materials while marching.

Both of these options are maddening.

Waiting for supplies, naturally, is foolproof. But the basic consumption of 100,000 troops in one day, that is, an astronomical amount, according to the normal rate, it takes more than 20 days to make up for the consumption, which is equivalent to saying that before he arrives in Soul Fortune City, the second prince will be tortured by heavy materials unbearable.

And to take the second option, urging while marching, it is dangerous.

Without the assistance of powerful armaments, the 100,000 army is just a tiger without minions, and once it encounters a heavy attack from Soul Luck City, I am afraid that even the capital of the 100,000 army will have to be lost.

The second prince praised Qin Ning's opinion, but he didn't make up his mind.

Qin Ning stayed in the Chinese army, and the second prince was not worried, his henchmen accounted for the vast majority of the high-level positions, and even if Qin Ning had any attempts, he would not succeed. Therefore, the 10,000 forward battalion re-prepared by the second prince and his own commander set off for Yingchoudu.

Along the way, the two princes were very entangled, and the tactics proposed by Qin Ning were the simplest, most direct, and most effective. Again, all the hole cards on both sides are placed on the table, and what they fight is hard power!

You have enough long-range anti-aircraft to destroy fortifications, and you'll be able to take the initiative and turn your advantage into victory. And if your strength is not enough, you can only accept the result of failure, and maybe you will give your life here.

The second prince was not born in the army, but after experiencing countless battles and thinking hard to no avail, he decided to investigate the scene himself.

Disguised as ordinary people, the second prince led a few personal soldiers and swaggered close to Yingchoudu.

If there is no problem of warfare, Eagle Chou Ferry can be regarded as a place to cultivate sentiment and make people feel refreshed.

Jiuqugou, Panlongling, at first glance, is a very treacherous place, which can make you tense your nerves all of a sudden.

Yingchou Du is not this aspect of oppressive momentum, when approaching Yingchou Du, the road in front of him suddenly widened, as if from the depressed atmosphere of the mountains and forests, suddenly embarked on a smooth road mood, suddenly enlightened!

Among the mountains, the tall and gloomy trees exude a solemn atmosphere, and here, the sun is bright, and the gentle and quiet grass is all around, which really has an otherworldly artistic conception.

Not far away is the main part of Yingchou Crossing, a huge waterhole formed by the impact of the river.

The water surface is clear and turquoise, as if she is a resentful woman, lamenting her grievances here for thousands of years.

The surface of the pond is very wide, and when the second prince looks up, he can see the construction fortifications built by the defenders of Soul Luck City opposite. Of course, this is cultivated in the light, and I don't know how many in the dark.

But these fortifications built in the open place are enough to make people marvel, the number is huge, they are connected with each other, they rely on each other, and they make people feel that they can't start more than hedgehogs.

Because the water surface is wide enough, in the eyes of the second prince, those tall construction works seem very small.

After observing a circle and returning to the camp, the second prince has always had Qin Ning's method in his mind, this method is effective, but it is difficult for the second prince to play chess.

After thinking about it for a long time, the second prince summoned the generals and told everyone about Qin Ning's construction, and at the same time explained that there were difficulties in the current ordnance materials, and there was no way to reduce the consumption of ordnance materials.

The generals who can be selected for the forward battalion are all battle-hardened generals. Qin Ning's words had already put all his strength on paper, and this was the only way that seemed stupid.

But the reason why the second prince put forward this plan for everyone to express their opinions is that the second prince is because the consumption of ordnance materials makes the second prince unbearable.

can reduce the number of attacks, who the hell dares to guarantee that they can take down Eagle Choudu.

For a moment, there was a collective silence among the generals.

"Your Highness, the opinion of the military advisor is the orthodox way of playing, and it seems to be the only way to play at the moment. But I have a plan that can be changed slightly, that is, we can concentrate half of our firepower, destroy the fortified stronghold within a mile of the front line of the Yingchoudu area, and then force the crossing, and after occupying the opponent's forward stronghold, we can use conventional troops to carry out ground operations, and we can achieve the goal by advancing little by little. ”

This is a general of the second prince's lineage, although he agrees with Qin Ning's plan, but the second prince is very entangled at this time, as a descendant, how can he share his worries and relieve his worries.

The second prince thought about it for a while, and only this method could reduce some consumption. Looking up at the other generals, those generals also nodded blankly.

This is not under the command of the military division, under the command of the military division, just say it, it's okay to say it wrong. But here, if you say the wrong thing, it will be quite troublesome. At least you wear small shoes, and at worst you lose your status. Since the second prince agrees, there are some hidden dangers......

Forget it, let's not sweep the second prince's prosperity.

Now that the plan has been finalized, the second prince has made specific arrangements.

First of all, three huge flying machines, carrying heavy artillery, were arranged to carry out devastating strikes on the area of the Eagle's Sorrowful Stream, which was within a radius of one mile near the shore.

Immediately after, there was a flying machine capable of transporting 500 people, transporting 5,000 people to the opposite shore.

On the opposite bank, the 5,000 troops, under the cover of flying machines, advanced in depth and took the rest of the enemy's fortifications. (To be continued......)
