Chapter 493: Discussing the march and preparing for battle
The mountains are not high, but they stretch for thousands of miles, and there is no end to it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Walking on the rugged path, the soldiers were already tired and out of formation, and they pulled a long line up the mountain like ants.
"General Peng, the soldiers are a little unable to walk, and the whole formation is also scattered, can you take a break and march again. ”
The lieutenant had already begun to lead his horse on foot.
Peng Yue looked up and found that through the dirt bag above, he could already see the lush woods behind him, and it was a sheltered mountain col.
"You see, hold on a little longer, and when we get to that wood, we'll set up camp again. If you can't say it, you can use it as a base camp and look for it in all directions. ”
He raised his arm and pointed upward.
However, when you walk through the mountains, you can see the woods not far away, but once you rush through, you may not be close at hand. Especially when you are most tired, climbing up the mountain road is even more difficult.
The lieutenant looked up and looked into the distance, and his face instantly showed embarrassment.
"General Peng, it seems that it is close at hand, but if you want to really get there, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get to the place without half a day. ”
Although the voice is not high, it is very rich. As he finished speaking, he looked down at the rough path, then at the ranks of soldiers winding up, and began to shake his head feebly.
"With so many soldiers, if you want to rest, you have to find a relatively hidden place. Moreover, we are looking for fighters again, if the other party discovers our whereabouts, then it is not that we will strangle the other party, but that the other party will encircle us. ”
Peng Yue seemed to have seen his doubts on the captain's face, and began to explain.
"The hard work at this time can reduce a lot of trouble, and it can save the lives of more soldiers. For the sake of temporary comfort, being surrounded and suppressed, it will be a big trouble. ”
As he spoke, he began to roll over and dismount.
Maybe walking together can give the soldiers more support and confidence. As he thought this, he tilted his head again and glanced at the lieutenant.
"When giving my order, don't forget to tell all those who ride horses to dismount and walk, including the cavalry soldiers at the front. ”
Peng Yue is indeed an upright person, as long as he thinks of it, he can say it, and when he says it, of course, he will not hesitate to implement it. This is well known to everyone in the entire Kansai expeditionary army, and of course, it also makes many generals reluctant to follow his men.
"Forget the cavalry! they were ......."
"No, everyone treats everyone equally, and all of them lead the horses. ”
A broken shout directly interrupted the captain's speech, and Peng Yue turned his eyes with a hint of anger.
"When people are tired of climbing mountains, don't animals know that they are tired!"
The speech was very heavy, almost shouting to finish.
The lieutenant knew very well Peng Yue's character, glanced at it in shock, turned around hurriedly, and was about to run quickly, but was blocked by the herald who arrived on.
"Report to General Peng, many soldiers have been found in the woods in front. ”
A brief shout had already made Peng Yue raise his head in horror.
I was thinking about occupying the dense forest over there as a camping place, but I didn't expect it to be occupied. What worries Peng Yue even more is that the forces that have not been able to find it seem that they are about to meet here, and they can't face it directly in concealment.
"Immediately give an order, let all the soldiers stand by, and continue to let the spies probe from four directions at the same time, to see whose forces are and how many soldiers and horses there are. ”
Peng Yue thought for a while, and then immediately made a decision.
The lieutenant looked back and saw that it was not a steep mountain, but it was really difficult to get tens of thousands of horses to set up camp. After turning his head, I wanted to say another word of discussion. But when he saw Peng Yue's deep face, he still gave up opening his mouth to speak.
Under the command of the lieutenant, the 20,000 horses did their best to select a few slightly wide flat areas according to the terrain, and completed the preparation for encampment in the form of five camps.
Although this kind of formation is a bit messy, it can block sneak attacks and breakouts from all sides. Of course, considering the safety of the coach, the middle of the four camps is Peng Yue's resting place.
"You kid is really a genius at war, and it really amazes me that you can camp so well under such harsh natural conditions. ”
When Peng Yue walked towards his tent, he glanced around the entire station.
"These are all General Peng's teachings, and I just do what you tell me to do. ”
The captain said modestly, looked up at Peng Yue and smiled.
"It seems that the next time I see General Luo, I have to introduce you well and let you lead the troops directly. After all, I'm already old, and I don't have the strength to do it. ”
Peng Yue also smiled and walked into the marching tent.
At this time, Luo Jingfeng, who was far away in the Kansai region, had also arrived at the border of Kansai during the day and night journey. It's just that it hasn't been stopped by the little force of the Bronze Horse Alliance. Along the way, it was a peaceful march without quarrels.
Guan Yue has always been busy before and after, and marched before, because of the division of troops by Hai Tianchou and Peng Yue. And this time, only Lin Zhijun looked at each other. Although, in name, Chu Tianmei is in control of the Right Army, but I don't know what's going on, she has never been in the camp of the Right Army.
"General Luo, there is a sentence I don't know whether to ask or not. ”
When he reined in and paralleled the rehmannia side, he glanced back at Chu Tianmei, but stared at Luo Jingfeng's heavy face in fear.
When Luo Jingfeng heard Guan Yue's words, he tilted his head anxiously, and seemed to have a surprised expression.
"If there is anything you should ask, let's say it! As always, we don't have to think about it at all. ”
As he spoke, the nervous expression on his face relaxed a little and became a little more amiable. However, because I had thought about the past too much before, it still didn't seem very natural.
"We are already short of manpower, and we have already announced that the right army will be in charge of General Chu. However, along the way, it did not play a role at all. If we encounter an army, we will not be able to react in time. ”
As she spoke, Guan Yue glanced back at Chu Tianmei's expression again, except for her calm face, she seemed to be indifferent to everything.
"It's not like you haven't met the Bronze Horse Alliance yet!"
When Luo Jingfeng answered, he also twisted his neck and glanced back. However, Chu Tianmei, who hooked her head, didn't let him see her expression at all.
"Lieutenant Lin's Chinese army can be used as a vanguard army. We have already entered the Kansai realm, and if we lead the army forward like this, if we enter the encirclement of the Bronze Horse Alliance, it will be a big trouble. ”
Guan Yue's face was already full of anxiety.
"Your proposal is good, let's restore the previous marching method, and separate a part of the Chinese army camp as the vanguard army, led by Zhijun to fight the front station. And I am directly responsible for the soldiers of the Chinese army, and the left and right armies remain unchanged, and you and Tianmei are in charge. ”
Under Guan Yue's reminder, Luo Jingfeng had to readjust his preparations for entering Kansai.
"I have another suggestion, can we divide into the Fourth Route Army and enter the largest city in Kansai. The Bronze Horse Alliance has made Kansai its base camp, so they must be holding the city. As long as we take the largest city in Kansai in one fell swoop, it is possible that we will basically wipe out the power of the Bronze Horse Alliance. ”
"But you are so scattered, although you don't worry about encirclement and suppression. However, once you encounter a large army strangulation, you may be attacked one by one. ”
"I thought about this, let's keep a certain distance. ”
"Then you mean that the vanguard army is a camp, marching at the forefront, while the left and right armies march covertly from both sides in the form of two wings, and the large army of the middle army is in the form of a clear march to attract the appearance of the Bronze Horse Alliance. ”
"We thought of it together, that's what I thought. ”
Guan Yue began to smile with joy.
"This is good, but there is also a fatal shortcoming, once the left and right flanks cannot support in time, the exposed Chinese army may be completely annihilated. In addition, if the left and right armies are surrounded by the main army on the way, then they will not be able to support in time. ”
Luo Jingfeng still expressed his worries.
"Although such a march has great drawbacks, at least it can be completely eliminated. ”
Guan Yue felt that doing so would still be conducive to the march of the army.
"Both of you are right, but neither is right. ”
Suddenly, Chu Tianmei let go of her voice and shouted.
In Luo Feng's surprise, his gaze swept over Guan Yue's face, and he turned half of his body in a hurry, falling directly on Chu Tianmei's face.
"And what do you mean?"
He originally wanted to say a little more, and elicit more thoughts from Chu Tianmei. However, when I saw her gloomy face, I could only change my words and go straight to the point.
"The most taboo thing about the march of a large army is to encounter a larger force and encircle and destroy it at one time. However, according to the current situation, the Bronze Horse Alliance cannot be stronger than our forces, and if it is dispersed, it is effectively reduced to the possibility of being annihilated, but once it encounters a strong enemy, it will also be strangled without resistance. ”
Chu Tianmei denied both methods at the same time.
She looked at Guan Yue calmly, and poked her head forward, but she didn't clearly see Luo Jingfeng's demeanor.
"Then what good can you do, but such a march is absolutely not good. ”
Guan Yue said in a deep voice, and began to stare at Luo Jingfeng's expression again, wanting him to finally come up with a decisive opinion.
"Of course I have a way, that is, Zhijun directly leads the vanguard army to march at a distance. We don't have to divide into three camps, just a small part as follow-up reinforcements. In fact, it was not a reinforcement, but it was a random shuttle in the back, including the left and right wings. In this way, you can confuse the enemy army, and you can find out whether there are any hidden forces in time, which can prevent tracking and sneak attacks all the way. ”
As soon as Chu Tianmei finished speaking, she began to look like before, and continued to hook her head without any sound.
