Luo Xin looked at the wall of Shanhaiguan with a smile. E┡ Novel WwㄟW. Ω1XIAOSHUO. COM
After eight days of trekking, he finally arrived at his destination. As the commander of the First Army of the Shenji Army, he was ordered to lead three divisions under his command to Shanhaiguan to join.
Ordering the army to enter the city, Luo Xin took his guards to the foot of Shanhaiguan city first. At this time, Lu Fei, who had received the news, was already at the door.
Seeing Luo Xin, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Luo Xin, how come your army is dragging like a maiden? It's only now."
"It's your mother, the dog can't spit out ivory." Luo Xin cursed directly. Although the two are noisy on weekdays, they are very close.
Because the two members of different legions can hardly see each other now.
Lu Fei was not only not angry but laughed. He said to Leiming: "Look, this is a scholar who has been drinking ink for ten years. I think it is no different from us."
Leiming smiled bitterly: "As the saying goes, it is black near ink, and red near Zhu. This is not the credit of Army Commander Lu."
Lu Fei's eyes glared, and he raised his foot to thunder's and said, "Okay, now that the wings are hard, I dare to bury me."
Luo Xin got off his horse and snorted and said, "You can bully Thunder now, but they are also a military commander anyway, so you are not right."
Lei Ming said with a smile: "The two army commanders should still be bickering at the wine table. It's noon, and it's time to eat."
Luo Xin's stomach screamed twice at the right time, Lu Fei burst into laughter, and took Luo Xin to Shanhaiguan Daying for dinner.
When they arrived at the barracks, the three of them drank a few drinks and did not drink too much. At this time, Luo Xin said; "This Northern Expedition is really pleasant, and the emperor's ambition is something that no previous emperor has ever had."
"It goes without saying that when I followed the emperor back then, I saw that King Qi was definitely not a thing in the pool." Lu Fei triumphed.
Compared to Luo Xin and Lu Fei's ease and ease, Lei Ming had a serious look, because he was in Shanhaiguan to fight against the barbarians all the year round, he knew very well that this war would not be so easy.
After eating some food, Lei Ming said: "The two commanders arrived at Shanhaiguan, and I haven't had time to tell us about the current situation in Pingzhou City."
Luo Xin glanced at Lu Fei, only then did he understand that this guy was just one step early.
He said: "You are more familiar with the outside world than we are, let's talk about the current enemy situation."
Lu Fei also put away his unruly expression at this time, his expression serious.
After pondering for a while, Lei Ming said: "The two generals must also be aware of the terrain outside the Guan. Compared with the plains, hills and mountains outside the Guan, the land outside the Guan is really a flat river. It can be said that there are grasslands at a glance, and there are even few trees. I see that this place is very suitable for large-scale cavalry operations, and this is where the advantage of the barbarians lies. According to the small-scale battles between the cavalry and the barbarian scouts in recent years, our cavalry may not have the advantage."
Luo Xin nodded. In fact, they have not been dazzled by the victory. There are actually many reasons why they have won steadily over the years.
In Jizhou, Beishan was injured by artillery, and other victories were based on the defense of the city. Even the recent Battle of Bashu was because the barbarian cavalry was scattered and plundered to give them a chance to be eliminated.
But this time is different. This is a regular war between the two countries, and both sides will concentrate their efforts to deal with this war.
Lu Fei said: "So this time we can't waste precious cavalry to fight the barbarians head-on. It will only exhaust our limited cavalry. Last time Qi Guangyi chased the remaining cavalry and finally won, but also lost more than 3,000 men. , This is still under the condition that the barbarian cavalrymen are tired of horses."
Luo Xin was convinced. He said: "You are right. Our advantage is artillery and muskets. Cavalry is our shortcoming. Therefore, the limited cavalry can only be used to chase down the rout, but to consume. I think this time The march has to walk along the sea. The first step is to build a Wubao 20 miles outside Shanhaiguan, so that even if the 6-ground food passage is cut off, we can get supplies from the sea."
After a pause, he continued: "Pingzhou City is only one hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan. This distance is neither close nor far. Just building four Wubaos is enough to guarantee the food and grass we need when fighting in Pingzhou."
"I think so too. Huajue Island is between Pingzhou City and Jinzhou. There is a lot of food on the island, which can provide us with supplies, but it is a pity that the two divisions on this island need to directly contact Ye Qingyun. Attacking Liaozhou can't be used by me." Lei Ming said.
All three were ordered by the Military Aircraft Department, and they all knew their plans. Lu Fei said, "It's nothing to be a pity. Hasn't Qi Guangyi already gone to the island? According to the order, his mission is to pretend to attack Jinzhou and take his The cavalry disturbed the barbarian’s rear, and now it’s time for the barbarian’s spring plowing. Even if this battle is not won this year, it will drive the barbarian crazy in winter.
"That's right. The emperor estimated that it was because of this that he would start the Northern Expedition during the spring plowing season. The barbarians now rely on the food obtained by the people in the six cities to alleviate the famine. At this time, the spring plowing is destroyed. Few people." Luo Xin also laughed.
"In that case, when are the two commanders going to leave?" Lei Ming's eyes flashed with excitement.
Lu Fei pondered for a moment, "This has to wait for the appointment of the Military Aircraft Department. Our three armies must have a corps commander to gather."
Luo Xin and Lei Ming nodded. Before being appointed, they still need to make pre-war preparations, including the issue of inter-connection between the three armies.
Seven days later, along with a large number of chariots entering Shanhaiguan, orders from the Ministry of Military Aircraft also arrived at Shanhaiguan.
What surprised the three people was that the commander of the army was not any of the three, but Niu Ben who arrived from Qingzhou~EbookFREE.me~ and Xiao Ming also arrived.
"See the emperor for ministers!"
All the generals in Shanhaiguan received the news and all went outside the city gate to greet the holy driver.
"Everyone, Aiqing is flat!"
Xiao Ming rode on a horse, dressed in military uniform. After mobilizing the army to gather at Shanhaiguan, he rushed to Shanhaiguan with some personnel from the Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff.
This trip to the north was a major event in the country, and the reason why he decided to go to the court was to boost morale.
At the same time, the symbol of any powerful emperor is to establish himself with military merit. He has been enjoying peace in Qingzhou City and it is difficult to establish prestige in the military.
Moreover, this war is extremely important. Various unexpected situations may occur during the war. At this time, Lu Fei and others may appeal to Qingzhou.
In this way, the long message transmission will cause trouble for the war, but he is different here, he can adapt to the situation at any time.
