At noon on the 11th day of October in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Prince Xiong and the military advisor Wan Lian were having a secret discussion about how to transform the flintlock bird gun, when a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door:

"Master, military advisor: Gunbu Khan has launched a counterattack, Xiong Kaishan and Liu Guozhi have lost two battles in a row, Zhao Moduo has been lost, and nearly 100 brothers have been killed. At present, they have fought and retreated, and they have already reached the front line of Bucha to take advantage of the terrain and condescendingly organize defense!"

As soon as Xiong Chu heard that his two generals had lost the battle at the same time and had caused huge casualties, he immediately rushed out: "Zhou Laosi, what happened, hurry up and make it clear!"

Zhou Laosi was also sweating profusely, so it can be seen that he also rushed back desperately to report the news: "Master, Gunbu Khan's troops are different from others. The main force of the Chinese army sent out by him was only more than 1,200 people, but the people and horses were all draped all over their bodies, like devils, and the spears were at least two feet and four feet long. ”

"They're not fast, they're just pushing it step by step. Not only did the bow and arrow have no effect, but neither did the bird's gun. Xiong Kaishan led the hussar battalion to launch a counterattack, but the opponent's spears were too long to rely on, and in the end they could only be defeated. ”

"Also, there is a light cavalry of more than 2,000 men on the left and right flanks, but they are all equipped with birds. Although it was a rope-haired bird's gun, with the strange cavalry of the Chinese army charging into battle, their bird's gun still caused us a lot of casualties. Xiong Kaishan asked me to hurry back and ask for reinforcements. ”

Such a strange cavalry, not only did Xiong Chu not see it, but it was the first time he had heard of it, so he could only look back at the military advisor Wan Lian: "Military advisor, what do you think should be done?"

"I already have a rough idea of what's going on, but we'll talk about that later. Wan Lian replied simply, and at the same time shouted to the outside world: "Qiu Boming, order Huo Lianshan, Chige, and Sima Cheng to run to see you!"

Huo Lianshan led the guard battalion of the former battalion and was patrolling outside the mountain. Sima Cheng's firearms battalion is training in the back mountains because it has been replaced with new equipment. So it took half an hour for the two of them to arrive at the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Huo Lianshan: From now on, you will be in command of all the troops in the castle of Nanhan Mountain. There is only one mission, and that is to ensure the safety of the castle. ”

"Sima Cheng: Go back and gather the cavalry artillery battalion immediately, bring the eight tiger squat cannons that you have just equipped and enough gunpowder projectiles, and set off to reinforce the Habu front line in half an hour. ”

"The last general commands!"

Huo Lianshan, Chige and Sima Cheng knew that the matter was very urgent as soon as they saw that the military advisor did not have half a word of nonsense. The three of them hugged their fists, turned around and ran.

Coming down from the mountain, there were still more than forty miles away from the Habu line in the north, and Wan Lian finally began to explain the strange events on the front line to Prince Xiong.

"My lord, I once saw it in a merchant's diary. It is said that there were several small states west of Persia, and their cavalry was fully clothed. Because the armor with men and horses weighs more than 400 catties, it is not a tall horse and a burly person, and it is simply incompetent. ”

"The weight of the armor is too large, so this kind of cavalry is called heavy cavalry, and the war horse cannot run. And it can only be draped in front of the battle, otherwise the war horse will soon get tired and lie down. There are pros and cons to everything, and the attack distance of the heavy cavalry is only ten miles at most. ”

"Of course, their task was not to charge, but to deter the enemy with their powerful defensive capabilities, and finally force the enemy back completely, and create fighters for the light cavalry or infantry on both flanks. ”

"The two-foot and four-foot spear that Zhou Laosi said is actually not a gun but a spear, weighing more than seventy catties, and the fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei and Guan Yunchang, are using this kind of thing. ”

"This clumsy weapon belongs to the old antique, and we have completely eliminated it during the Great Song Dynasty. The spears of the hoplites were not terrible, and there were too many weapons that could attack two feet and four feet away. So, as long as they could break his armor, they didn't have a curse. ”

Xiong Chu was still a little puzzled: "Military advisor, there are burly people among the Mongols, and there are also people with great strength. But the fact that Gunbu was able to find 1,200 of these strong men in just one tribe was what I couldn't figure out. ”

"Strategist, do you think that if there are such 1,200 people, after a period of training in marksmanship, stick skills, or knife skills, each person leads a team of 100 people to kill out, and there is no opponent on the grassland at all, what are you doing with these bulky heavy armor?"

"It doesn't seem that simple. Wan Lian shook his head: "The lord may not know that there is a Rakshasa country in the northwest of Baihaier Lake, and it is said that they are all tall and powerful. It seems that they have produced a very tall war horse there, so they can form such an army. ”

Xiong Chu frowned: "Is the military advisor suspicious that the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north is coming?"

Wan Lian nodded: "Since the Rakshasa Kingdom defeated the Golden Horde more than forty years ago, this place originally bordered the Rakshasa Country, maybe there is an army of the Rakshasa Kingdom here. You can't draw conclusions until you see it. ”

Since the beginning of last year, it can be said that it has swept thousands of miles like a sweep, and it has not suffered a big loss at all.

Today, we lost two battles in a row at once, which made everyone's feelings very bad, so everyone was very depressed along the way.

Depression is depression, and problems don't go away automatically just because you're depressed.

When he came to Xiong Kaishan's tent, Liu Guozhi was also here, and Wan Lian asked, "What is the current situation?"

Xiong Kaishan shook his head: "The situation is very bad, the brothers feel that they have nowhere to go, they are very cowardly." Now it was getting late, and the enemy had retreated, and was encamped ten miles away. ”

Xiong Chu said: "After you go down, make it clear to your brothers that the victory or defeat this time has nothing to do with them, it is all caused by my poor consideration with the military advisor." Let the brothers eat and rest well, keep their spirits up and wait for orders. Don't worry, the military advisor will definitely let everyone avenge this sword. ”

Habu is a small hill at the foot of the northern mountain of the South Khan Mountain.

It was precisely because of this hill pack that the enemy's heavy cavalry did not exert their power, so they blocked the enemy's attack.

Let the Shooting Battalion act as a guard, and replace the Hussar Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion to rest. After Xiong Chu and Wan Lian had dinner, they began to check the situation around them.

The reason why Wan Lian was dragged out was that Xiong Chu wanted to find a place to ask for clarification.

Because until now, Wan Lian, the military division, has not said how to deal with the enemy's heavy cavalry.

"My lord, I'm thinking about how to defeat the entire Tushetu Khan of Gonbu, not the army in front of me. It's mid-October, and heavy snow is just around the corner. ”

Wan Lian understood what Xiong Chu was worried about, so he sat down on a stone before he said, "What I originally meant was that if Gun Bu didn't cause trouble, I didn't think about doing anything to him this year, but I was going to talk about it after the spring of next year." By that time, we'll all be ready to go. ”

"Not now, Gunbu has come to the door, we have to change our strategy, otherwise we won't be able to survive the whole winter. Just eating these shrimp soldiers and crabs in front of us is a bit of a fuss for us, so I'm not prepared to fight here at all. ”

Xiong Chu still didn't understand: "Since you are not preparing to fight here, it is better to take Xiong Kaishan and Liu Guozhi up the mountain, and let the enemy watch at the foot of the mountain, why bother to mobilize the army and bring people over?"

Wan Lian smiled: "Lord, when I said that I was not prepared to fight here, it did not mean that I would not fight. Now I'm thinking about what kind of battle to fight. Also, I'm still waiting for the first batch of bird guns to be renewed in the Craftsman's Workshop before I can make up my mind. ”

"Bringing Sima Cheng and Chige out is just for Xiong Kaishan and Liu Guozhi to have a good rest and recuperate, so that they can fight again. I have never liked to do useless work, and since Gon Bu doesn't know what to do, I want him to get an unforgettable lesson this time, and I will never forget it in the next life. ”

Prince Xiong suddenly realized: "Okay, you rogue military advisor, do you want to repeat the old trick and serve the cloth in a pot?"

Wan Lian nodded: "My original intention is that we are just passing by, and if Gunbu can come over to negotiate, it will be nothing to let him go, so I let the lord stay here for a while." I didn't expect this guy to be quite horizontal, probably because he hadn't seen the Yellow River. ”

"In that case, I will not leave him half of the country as I did with the Chechen Khan. This time, I will not move, and once I do it, I will drive out Gunbu and eat all the 20,000 horses on his left and right wings! Because of this, Xiong Kaishan and Liu Guozhi's men and horses will have to rest for a while. ”

Speaking of this, Wan Lian had already stood up: "Lord, after returning to the camp tent, I will explain the entire battle concept to you clearly." ”

Three torches surround a wooden table, on which a map is spread.

The map is very new, it should have been drawn not long ago, and it seems that the scout camp did not eat dry.

"My lord, please see, my original intention is that after the beginning of spring next year, the troops will be divided into four routes, and after a month of continuous fighting, the left and right flanks of Gunbu will be taken down at the same time. Then the whole army marched west to the Wuliang Sea and went straight to the Altan Mountains. Now that Gon Bu has delivered it himself, this plan is about to be brought forward. ”

"On the first eastern front, the 720 men of Chige's battalion marched north from the east side of Shahatu over Mount Kent, turned northwest on the west side of the Busse Mountain, and captured the castle of Uistan. Then immediately marched westward, raided and occupied Nukhtu, Ziktai, and rushed to Kyakhta. Chige doesn't have a specific enemy, it's just a big intersperse. ”

"On the second side of the central line, Xiong Kaishan's hussar battalion of more than 1,200 men marched north from Buha to recapture Chaomodo and Kuyi. Then attack downstream along the eastern bank of the Laha River, capture the fortress of Potge as a support, and finally move north to occupy Kyakhta. Xiong Kaishan's main enemy was 10,000 people who were crippled on the right flank of Tushetu Khan's troops. ”

"The third road on the western front is Liu Guozhi's cavalry battalion of more than 1,200 people, starting from the Ka blueprint, attacking along the Tula River valley, then turning into the Orkun River valley, and finally going north to capture Chahan Wusu, and Kyakhta in the east to form a corner. Liu Guozhi's enemy was 10,000 men on the left wing of Tushetu Khan's army. ”

"The fourth road on the middle line is more than 1,200 people in Huolian Mountain's guard camp, and he is following behind Xiong Kaishan. Wait until Xiong Kaishan takes over after taking over Potge Castle, so that Xiong Kaishan has no worries, and at the same time opens the way for us. ”

"Gunbu doesn't know the art of war, so he can't do what he can. Although his total strength was more than 20,000 people, it was distributed over a vast area that was 1,300 miles long from north to south and 600 miles wide from east to west. It seems that there are people everywhere, but there are less than 200 people in each place. What is the use of these two hundred?"
