"Excellent, have there been steppe tribes harassing along the way?"

"Five thousand people, two thousand craftsmen and three thousand guards, which tribe does not dare to come to seek death without long eyes. ”

Jumping out of the carriage, Takagaki asked the coachman to cover up the crossbow, seemingly unintentionally asking about the road, and the excellent answer was the same as the tailgating protection team, which is strange, none of them encountered tribal forces, who is deliberately destroying the road signs?

"Takagaki , but what did you find?"

Excellence felt that something was wrong, and Takagaki came with his troops for no reason, and inexplicably asked for the road signs, and with his character, he must have been suspicious.

"The wealth is moving, three hundred carriages full of supplies, I am overjoyed when I see it, how can the grassland tribes not be blushing?"

"Along the way, the cavalry continued to reconnoitre, and the guards drove away immediately, and planned to befriend the steppe tribes. ”

After hearing this, Zhuo Zhuo frowned, thought for a moment, and analyzed in a low voice: "You send a heavy escort, the road signs were destroyed after they passed, the purpose is nothing more than to cut off the front and back contact, but the tribe is a few hundred or thousand, tens of thousands of people are rare, even if everyone is a soldier, there is no appetite to eat the transport team and the escort standard team." ”

Gao Yuan vaguely felt that the situation was not good, what went wrong, for a while still at a loss, the transport team is related to the success or failure of the strategy, can no longer be alone, habitually observed the surrounding terrain, the transport team has advantages and disadvantages, a horse Pingchuan has no danger to defend, but it is difficult for the enemy to raid.

"Excellent, quickly order to camp on the spot, show two hundred ballista cars, and let the guards enter combat readiness. ”

Li Zihui immediately turned back and urged the escort team to approach the transport team as soon as possible. ”

He did not know why, but he was decisive in carrying out the order, and immediately gathered several captains of the guard and began to arrange the defense, and two thousand craftsmen set up tents in the designated camp area one after another.

The guards conceal the iron guards of the county palace, and they are no strangers to marching and fighting, especially for defense, and it didn't take long for the guard to be arranged, and the captain of the guard took people to deploy the defense according to the sketch.

Next to the carriage that served as a command car, Takagaki sealed the letter and called over to Yanzifeng.

"You take two sentinels, one person and two horses on the starry night, be sure to hand over the letter to the county lord or Yanning, if anyone stops you along the way, you don't have to fight, the letter is delivered is a great achievement, dare to delay the military aircraft, military law is ruthless!"

"Yes!"

The guards witnessed the transport team entering a state of combat readiness, Pan Yang ignored fatigue, and consciously led people to the surrounding sentinels, Yan Zifeng saw that the battle was coming, and when he heard it, he asked him to take someone back to deliver the message, and after receiving the order, he pleaded in a low voice: "Can you change people, I will stay to protect you." ”

"How difficult it is for others to meet the county lord, this task is none other than you. Gao Yuan immediately refused, and then lowered his voice and admonished: "The family doesn't talk to two families, good brother, sending the letter is the first success, success or failure is in this move, you really want to resign, I will let Yunfei take someone there." ”

"The third and fourth posts, bring enough forage and drink, throw away the heavy armor bag, and return to the camp with me overnight in half an hour to carry out the mission. ”

Yan Zifeng immediately ordered to prepare, to take the two sentinels away, and the fourth sentinel Chang Yunfei hurriedly asked, "Captain, do I want to go back with Yan Sentinel?"

"Give it to him, you stay, take the herald to find excellence, and set up a lookout here, the sooner the better!"

Gao Yuan stared at the sketch and thought about the defense loopholes, and did not raise his head to assign tasks, Chang Yunfei excitedly led people away and built a lookout, this is to hold on to help, it seems that there is a big war.

The pro-guards all went to carry out the mission, there were no idlers beside Gao Yuan, calm down and consider the tactics, whether the enemy would do it here, he did not have the slightest certainty, carefully sailed the ship of ten thousand years, since it was decided to wait for the army, it would take more effort to strengthen the defense facilities, and the casualties, sweat and blood would be reduced in wartime, and the commander of this account must be understood.

The excellent escort team is a patchwork of various nobles, there is no need to doubt the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, the teams can not talk about close cooperation, the task of coordination and command is invisibly aggravated, the students are in charge of the first level, the orders are implemented layer by layer, and the implementation of the escort is inevitably discounted, and they all want to preserve their strength, which will cost people in wartime, and Takagaki must come up with countermeasures in advance, and if necessary, directly command the squadrons (patrols).

With the help of craftsmen, the transport team successfully set up camp, Gao Yuan was slightly relieved, looked up at the sky, the sunset was about to set, the afterglow was sprinkled on the grassland, the intersection of blue and red was beautiful, but he was not in the mood to appreciate it, and when the excellence came, the two left the command vehicle to check the defense.

"You're worried about a joint attack by the steppe tribes. ”

There are hundreds of tribes in the prairie, a small number and half are united, tens of thousands of brave cavalry form an army day and night, and they really want to form an alliance, more than 100,000 steppe warriors who can fight well, and the winner or loser of the head-on decisive battle of the student army is unpredictable.

"Let two thousand guards defend in shifts, and a thousand men to watch over the craftsmen, and do not let them run around, in case the camp is bombarded in battle, especially at night, and be doubly careful. ”

There is no fault with the excellent deployment defense, and the limited materials in a short period of time can only do this.

The camp erected a simple fence, used up most of the construction tools, and the guards were in teams, sweating and digging trenches in front of the fence. Two hundred ballistas formed four semicircular formations, boxes of thick and long crossbow arrows were neatly placed next to them, and the sergeants were making the final adjustments. To deal with cavalry charges, crossbow salvos are the best weapons, and the steppe tribes have limited equipment, so there should be no heavy cavalry, and before the archers get close to the fence, the charging formation will be disrupted and become a target for defending archers.

After adjusting several deployments, the two returned to the Chinese military tent that had been tied, the lookout had not yet been set up, Chang Yunfei rushed to work overnight despite persuasion, the transport team was stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, Gao Yuan wanted to command from a high level, the surrounding enemy situation was clear at a glance, and he blushed unconsciously, and the simple truth The instructors repeatedly emphasized why they couldn't learn and use it when they were in battle, and they fell behind again.

"I'm not familiar with the transport team, and I don't know the strength of the guards, so you command the defense of the camp. Select 300 brave and reliable escorts, and hand them over to me as a reserve, ready to rescue at any time. ”

Zhuo Zhuo hurriedly excused himself: "I will bring people to the rescue, and you will command." ”

"It's not polite, I'm not as ruthless as I am to attack you, and the defense is calmer than mine, which is more suitable for command. Takagaki stretched out on the bed, and his eyelids were almost closed.

"I'm tired of rushing overnight, I don't eat and sleep first, and I'll be on duty in the middle of the night, remember to wake me up, you'll be busy all day tomorrow, and you can't stay up late." ”

"Sleep, I'll command. ”

Excellence is no longer polite, Gao Yuan is a newcomer, he doesn't know the officers, he doesn't know the escort configuration, he really wants to command, and he has to cooperate with himself, so the division of labor between the two shows their strengths, and they can give full play to their tactical characteristics, and they understand each other for three years.

Pan Yang rushed back to the transport team in the middle of the night, his body was mottled with blood, and he sat down in the big tent, not even having the strength to stand.

"Excellent, wake up the captain, urgent military situation. ”

Gao Yuan woke up from sleep, jumped off the bed without waiting for Excellence to speak, and hurriedly checked the injury, Pan Yang took the water cup handed by Excellence and poured it down in one go.

"A hundred miles away in front of the left, I found the enemy scout team, and fought in a hurry in the night, killing a few of them, but not catching them alive. Pan Yang took a breath and asked anxiously, "In the other three directions, did the sentry come back?"

Excellence shook his head and replied in a low voice: "There is no trace of the enemy reported in the rear, and the sentries on both sides have not returned. ”

"Captain, they can't come back. Pan Yang's expression was gloomy, and he fought with the scouts, and the two barely got rid of it, and there was only one sentry on the left and right.

Zhuo Zhuo asked his own soldiers to help Pan Yang to be treated, and only he and Gao Yuan were left in the tent.

"The enemy is found on three sides, there must be troops in the rear to make a detour, we are surrounded, the enemy's strength is not clear, do you want to send the whole team into a wartime state?"

"Did the escort team arrive?"

"When I arrived, I had them camp behind the flanks. As he spoke, he unfolded the map and pointed it to Takagaki as he spoke, and kept explaining: "One standard team enters the transportation camp to coordinate the defense, and the other four standard teams, two cooperate with one team, swinging left and right behind the side, echoing the transportation team in a triangle. ”

Gao Yuan sighed, with five elite standard teams, the defense is more certain, and the possibility of the success of the plan is greatly enhanced, it depends on whether Yan Zifeng can deliver the letter to Mei Ying in time.

"There is also a surprise, Coach Qiu brought the five patrol cavalry to come, not to affect your rest, and was responsible for the command of the camp on the side, he held the hidden dragon order, and all the standard teams obeyed. ”

"Scarface is coming? haha, we don't have to work too hard, with him in command, this battle is won, and I will continue to sleep. ”

"Scarface, are you calling me!"

Gao Yuan stood up straight with a shudder, and timidly looked at the chief Qiu Biao who opened the curtain, you are too coincidental, and you are too excited to shout out your nickname, so that the main owner can hear it clearly.

"This account is written down first, and then settled after the war. ”

Qiu Biaochang jumped off the horse and was busy with military affairs, inspected and adjusted the camp deployment, and had to coordinate five standard teams to set up camp, stayed up in the middle of the night to hear Pan Yang come back from reconnaissance, and hurried to hear Gao Yuan shouting Scarface, angry and happy, hated that the disciple was disrespectful in private, and happy was that he sincerely trusted the command.

"Commander, reconnaissance found that there were enemy scouts on three sides, and after our analysis, we believe that the convoy has surrounded the steppe tribes. ”

After hearing this, Qiu Biao Chang drew his long stick, hit Gao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo Jump, pointed to the map and scolded in a low voice: "This still needs to be analyzed? You can figure it out with your ass! The transport team and the five standard teams are all surrounded, and the troops behind will definitely be intercepted by a large army." Hehe, you kid is quite clever, deploy defenses as soon as possible, this battle has to be fought. ”

"Coach, with you in charge, what is the armed force of the grassland tribes, come and destroy one by one. Speaking of flattery, Takagaki got goosebumps when he heard it, this is the son of the king of the county.

"There are constant wars at the junction of the three kingdoms, and no one has completely conquered this grassland for thousands of years. ”

Qiu Biao scolded a few words, turned to Gao Yuan and said business: "Yan Zifeng, I will let the two teams escort back, no one can stop Qin Rufeng, and the letter will be transferred to the county lord in time." What the hell are you kidding, he didn't reveal the content, saying that he had to submit it himself. ”

"I'm relieved of this, hehe, the secret of heaven cannot be leaked, it is related to the strategic deployment of the county lord, and I don't dare to leak it. The camp guards are excellent and familiar, and the defense has your old command, and I will go to sleep again. ”

"Go to the herald post and sleep, don't occupy the place in the military tent. ”

Gao Yuan led the personal guards and the heavy infantry for several days, and marched for two days to catch up with the transport team, in fact, he was already tired, and the soldiers had to recover their strength when the war was imminent.
