Chapter 104: Phalanx Defense
It is possible for the steppe tribes to unite, and the convoy will stick to the camp, with sufficient troops and equipment, without fear of the enemy's siege, and the Chinese army does not need to rush to the rescue, it is recommended to set up camp and fight steadily, consume its elite troops, and must not rush to a decisive battle, in order to lure the wait-and-see tribes to gather.
Please order the rearguard standard team and the second group of transport team escorts to assemble quickly, and form three battalions, led by Ling Bo, led by Yan Zifeng, and led by Yan Zifeng, from the edge of the Mangcang forest on the south bank of the Qing River, marching day and night, and lurking in the forest after reaching the flank of the forward.
Finding that the enemy intercepting the Chinese army showed signs of dividing his forces, it was imperative to seize the fighter planes and make a decisive attack, and after defeating the enemy, he would pursue them closely and drive them to the convoy.
After Gao Yuan's letter, he repeatedly told that attacking the grassland tribes was the first, killing and establishing power was only a means, and subduing people's hearts was the goal, and that the prisoners must be treated preferentially, and they should be released immediately after the war, and the rebellion should be surrendered to disintegrate the tribal union.
"County Lord, on the way back to the camp, the enemy scouts are constantly being harassed, it is estimated that the army will arrive soon, please immediately call the standard commander to deploy defense, the standards are not subordinate to each other, and they must not go head-to-head. ”
With Qin Rufeng leading someone to escort her, the letter was successfully delivered to Mei Ying, and after seeing her read it, she was indecisive, and hurriedly reminded her that the military situation was urgent and could not be delayed.
Mei Ying said bitterly, just accepted the captain, the two full battalions were unstable, and the other standard teams began to form a battalion, the whole army plan was disrupted, the enemy suddenly came, the Chinese army's strength and equipment could not hide the ears and eyes of the grassland people, and they dared to come to attack, it is conceivable that they have an absolute advantage, this battle is not easy to fight, Gao Yuan talks about the army on paper, how do you know the difficulties between her and the Chinese army.
"Herald, please invite Hua Yue, Yan Ning, Yu Wenjie and Ling Huqing to the Chinese army to discuss matters. "The leaders of each family swore allegiance, assembled and reorganized in accordance with military orders, and could not be disturbed at this time, and the crisis had to be resolved through consultation with their sisters.
"Senior Rufeng, you and Yanzifeng will go down to rest first, and we will deploy as soon as possible after we agree. ”
Mei Ying smiled apologetically, took out the knife and pen and put the book on the desk, Qin Rufeng glanced at her and withdrew from the military tent, the Chinese army has no overnight general and the old marshal is in charge, and he can't decide the military situation on the spot, and the big taboo of the soldiers is nothing more than this, a full army of cadets, led by five little girls, not to mention a head-to-head confrontation in this battle, whether it can stabilize the camp is hanging.
Sister Huayue hurried back to the military tent, and after reading Gao Yuan's letter, her face sank. I originally wanted to learn the army to cross the border, and the grassland tribes did not dare to pluck the feathers from the tiger's mouth, who knew that a plate of scattered tribes would actually attack together, Takagaki said lightly, and when I thought about it, I couldn't help but worry, the transport team let the enemy surround it, and the difference in strength was bound to be huge, and whether or not the camp could be held was a matter of strategic success or failure.
"County Lord, don't worry about the safety of the forward, it's useless to think about it, the Chinese army can't come to the rescue, you have to have confidence in Qiu Biaochang and Gao Yuan. I suggest: Arrange the defense according to the phalanx, the two full battalions are separated from the front and the left and right, and the two new battalions are in the rear, and we will respond from the middle, lure the enemy to attack the Chinese army, give full play to the advantages of the Janissary armor, and kill and deplete the enemy's cavalry in the defense. ”
Yuwen Jie was literate when she was young, Hou Ye used the formation diagram, she didn't ask the female red when she was a little older, and she regularly tested martial arts and Tao strategy, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, memorize it first, Jiangmen woman, and you will have the opportunity to comprehend it in the future. Grandpa looks old and disrespectful and cynical, listened to the little granddaughter talk about the army a few times, did not say anything, but took her to the government, in and out of the military department are with him, a group of senior generals in the colonel many little girls, the personality is bold, soon everyone loved, each will be proud of the war example as a story to tell her, grandpa personally commented in his spare time. Although he had no experience in battle formations, he was not completely empty talk about marching and fighting, and he quickly made corresponding deployment suggestions.
"The Chinese army only has 500 troops, and the safety of the county lord cannot be taken lightly, I oppose it. Ling Huqing disagreed, Yu Wenjie had expected her to react in this way, the mantra of the Minister of Military Affairs was really right, the civilian official was not timid enough to speak of the army, and answered unceremoniously: "You are cowardly and afraid of death, don't get involved with the county lord, it is precisely because she is in the Chinese army that I deliberately set up a phalanx, otherwise how can the enemy be fooled." ”
"Who is cowardly-" Ling Huqing was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, and he was so angry that he was about to punch and stretch his legs to fight back, and let Hua Yue hug her, she really couldn't beat it, she was strategic and timid, Yu Wenjie was right.
"Flat ground square defense, I think it is feasible, but to make a slight change, the grassland cavalry is known as the unparalleled cavalry and archery, want to convince the people, first to show strength, blindly defending will only be despised, we will have a-for-tat, the standard cavalry and archers take turns to fight, the eldest sister leads the archers, I take the cavalry, let them see, whether it is riding or archery, we are no worse than anyone, the tactics are more flexible and effective. ”
Hua Yue was still sulking, his face was cold and he didn't say a word, Yan Ning wanted to say that he had no emotions to lie, and he openly vented his thoughts by discussing the deployment, and the senior sisters both went out to fight, not only to give the enemy a head-on blow, but also to make Mei Ying and those standard commanders sober, who is more suitable to sit in the position of captain.
"Qing'er's martial arts are poor, stay in the camp to protect the county lord, I will lead the heavy infantry to provoke, the two sisters will respond from the side, kill him personally on his back, let those standard commanders know, I will be the captain, better than them, who is not convinced, still lead the troops to battle, and speak with the battle record. ”
The eldest sister Hua Yue stood by and watched, the second sister Yan Ning had a thorn in her words, Mei Ying finally noticed the mistake, the lack of communication in the personnel deployment of the legion, and the cracks in the relationship between the sisters, the two sworn sisters were full of arrogance and strong personalities, and seemed to be interested in the position of captain, and they were about to say that they planned to resolve the misunderstanding in their hearts, Yu Wenjie had made it clear, it seemed that the fourth sister was not willing to be left in power, and it was difficult to explain it clearly for a while.
"Jie'er, who is cowardly, who is poor in martial arts, you compete with the eldest sister, see how ugly it will be to lose, I am a little worse than you, go to the enemy to win steadily, go to the army to fight, you may not have my record. The county lord guards the camp, there are exactly four full battalions, and one of our sisters is one by one, first to kill the military merits and prestige, and then logically ascend to the position. ”
Ling Huqing's personality is cautious, her words will not be a moment of excitement, military merits are not only personal honor and disgrace, but also related to the rise and fall of the family, before the war, he first made meritorious contributions to killing the enemy, and he could not deduct the crime of fighting for power and profit, at this time, he didn't want to mention it again after the war, and joined the Huayue camp at the moment, which made Mei Ying angry and funny, if he had something to say directly, why should he bully people so much.
"It's no problem for me to defend the Chinese army, and I promise that the enemy will not be able to rush in. Don't look at me, I know the details, and I am barely qualified to command a standard team, and I have no ability to coordinate the battalions in the center. ”
Mei Ying looked at Hua Yue when she spoke, her eyes were as clear as water, and her words were sincere: "Eldest sister, you blame me, it's not that you don't want Yan Ning to lead the troops, but the legion has just been formed, and the two captains may not be reliable, I don't dare to fully believe that our sisters can only run smoothly when they get together and work together, each of them will lead a battalion, and no one will command in the center, what is the difference between the original standard teams and the original standard teams." ”
Mei Ying's words were sincere, without beating around the bush, to embarrass the four sisters, she was right, the Chinese army has no one to command, the four battalions are fighting separately, and they can win one battle or two battles by surprise, and when the enemy reacts, they will concentrate their forces to attack one battalion, and rescue each other will only make the whole army chaotic, and finally let the family eliminate it battalion by battalion.
Hua Yue didn't have the habit of apologizing to anyone, although he knew that Mei Ying was really wrong, he still didn't speak, he still didn't speak, he only blamed you for being too late, and if you explained early, how could there be a misunderstanding.
"I won't rob it, I'll keep it, don't be angry, eldest sister. The military situation is urgent, if I agree with my plan, the county lord quickly ordered, let the battalions prepare early, it is necessary to build deep ditches and high fortifications, and build arrow towers and watchtowers as much as possible, and then adapt to the situation when the enemy comes. ”
Yan Ning and Ling Huqing agreed, Hua Yue still didn't speak, Mei Ying looked at her and smiled: "Eldest sister, if you don't speak, I'll take it as if I have no opinion, hehe, don't lose your temper again later." ”
At this time, Hua Yue could no longer be silent, turned his head angrily, and pointed at Yu Wenjie to vent: "You personally go to each battalion to pass orders, so that others will not be unclear, so that when the enemy comes, you can't fight privately, and everything is at the disposal of the Chinese army." ”
"Don't go and give the order yet!" Mei Ying hurriedly gave Yu Wenjie a look, afraid of annoying Hua Yue with more mouths, who knew that she shook her head: "I won't go, someone is more suitable, let Qin Rufeng pass the order, he is a model of student soldiers rewarded by the military department, go out for a turn, it is not only convincing, but also can boost the morale of the students." ”
"It's a good idea, I'll let him go. Hua Yue took the opportunity to leave the embarrassing military tent, and several sisters behind him snickered, the eldest sister was thin-skinned, did not admit her mistakes, and acted faster than anyone else.
"Qing'er and I deployed the Chinese army for defense, the county lord and the second sister took the women's team, and they went to the battalions to inspect later, and the commander must appear before the war. After Yuwen Jiefang finished speaking, Ling Huqing whispered: "Don't take it lightly, prevent assassins from lurking." ”
"Let's go, let's dig a trench first, don't let the noble children be lazy. ”
The 500 Chinese troops dug trenches according to Yu Wenjie's arrangement, and there were not enough materials to build fences, and the camp trenches and horse traps were the simplest and most effective ways to deal with the steppe cavalry. The children of the nobles have never done rough work, the military shovel has not been thrown a few times, the palms of the hands are blistered, and the pain is so painful that he frowns, and he can't help but look at the students, but when he sees the military shovel waving, the trench under his feet is getting deeper and deeper, and some people want to call the guards to come and help, but the companions on his side are busy stopping it, and whispering to the county lord that he has divided a trench and is digging in person, so don't be embarrassed by himself.
Mei Yingbiao Battalion has been exercising for more than four years, and she has long been accustomed to rough work, the military shovel keeps waving, and the task is completed after an hour, and Ling Huqing next to her cries and mourns her face before digging less than half of it, and hurriedly ran over to help, Ling Huqing is not polite, she scolded Yu Wenjie while digging, she is the commander, there is no digging task, just run around and shout, and do not forget to be sarcastic and laughing when passing by, and quickly make Linghu Qing cry.
The battalions received the order and began to act under the strict order of the standard commander, and the two full battalions were lined up in front of the formation, and the lively students could not help but guess that the county lord had to borrow a knife to kill, and the two battalions bore the brunt of the enemy's attack.
"Haven't done rough work, just get used to it, I'll help you." ”
A student soldier was waving the military shovel for a while, and a crisp voice came from beside him, and when he looked up, he saw that the military shovel had landed, Mei Ying was jumping off the trench, and Qiao Shengsheng was standing in front of him.
"County Lord-" The student soldiers didn't know how to speak, they forgot to salute, Mei Ying waved the military shovel and started work, comforting while working: "Noble children, you must see the advantages of the student soldiers, fighting a war is not just a charge, sweat more before the war, and less blood during the war, you rest for a while, I will help you complete the task, don't let the student soldiers look down on you." ”
The military shovel kept waving, a shovel of dirt was thrown onto the trench, Mei Ying was covered with dust, sweat flowed down her forehead, and soon synthesized the mud, the military shovel kept going, and the tears of shame fell under the feet of the soldiers, and they grabbed the military shovel and worked hard, the speed was several times faster than before, and Mei Ying was on par, the county lord undoubtedly recognized the wrong person, and regarded him as a noble child, which made the student soldiers ashamed and unspeakable.
Mei Ying helped the students to work, the female soldiers who guarded naturally could not watch, they jumped off the trench one after another, to help the students in this section, watching the female soldiers sweat and shovel, the students turned shame into enthusiasm, and took the lead in completing the task in the full battalion, Mei Ying touched the sweat, jumped on the trench and led the women's team to leave, and the full battalion soon spread the news that the county lord helped the students dig the trenches, and the previous anxiety and speculation dissipated invisibly.
"County Lord, they are not the children of nobles, they are deliberately lazy soldiers. "Most of the women's teams are aristocrats, and they are tired of completing their own tasks, and then they help others to work, and they have to perform well.
"I know that he is a cadet, and he deliberately said that, so he has to save some face, and I believe that he will not be lazy in the future. ”
