"Xiaosheng, we fought beautifully in this battle, why are you still looking sad?" Xiao Chen said this, but his mood was actually not very beautiful. He just walked around the wounded barracks and what he saw was terrible.
This is the cruelty of war.
"It's very beautiful. It far exceeded my expectations. But the enemy is also really brave. Boss, you have seen it with your own eyes. Each one of them is skilled in bow and horse, and they are not afraid of death. If they hadn't underestimated the enemy this time, we would have prepared enough."
It's enough, then it's really hard to say victory or defeat." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
Being able to keep a cool head at all times is a quality that a good general must possess.
"Yes, these guys are ruthless enough. I also lost dozens of brothers." Wei Yuntian only lost a few dozen of his thousand armors. This casualty was basically negligible, but he felt that
Very useless.
A thousand heavy armors beat hundreds of light cavalry, and the opponent was already in disarray. Logically speaking, it should be a massacre, and they should not be killed.
"Xiaosheng, what should we do next?" Xiao Chen said.
"It's better to stay calm. I don't expect them to launch a massive attack immediately after suffering a loss this time... If you can let me know what Qiu Muling is thinking now, I am willing to use all my salary to exchange for it." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Maybe I was scared to death." Wei Yuntian said with a smile.
"It's not like he's scared to death, but he's certainly scared. But I don't know his character or his tactics, otherwise I can tell what he will do next?" Zhuge Xiaosheng sighed.
He was assuming that if he were the opponent's general Qiu Muling, what would he do next?
First of all, we will learn from the pain and lessons learned from this failure, and then we will re-formulate our attack plan.
During this period, small-scale troops will be continuously dispatched to carry out exploratory attacks, and we will try our best to find out our true strength during the battle.
Small groups of capable troops will also be sent into the mountains to carry out harassing attacks on our side, which will destabilize our troops' morale and cause them to be overwhelmed psychologically.
Or we may send a surprise force to cut off our food route. In that case, we will have to dedicate part of our troops to clear it out, which will greatly weaken the strength of the main formation.
Formal attacks will also adopt a more secure method, such as sending a team of shield soldiers to clear obstacles such as blocking horses, so that the cavalry behind can attack unimpeded.
A certain amount of troops will also be deployed on both wings to eliminate the threats of musketeers and ambush troops first, thus forming a situation of being surrounded on three sides.
Of course, catapults will also be used. This powerful long-range curved firepower is what Zhuge Xiaosheng is most afraid of.
If the opponent has enough catapults, then with just a random bombardment, your own formation will be self-defeating and unable to resist at all.
The only way is to shrink the formation into the forest, but this way the power of the ballistae formation cannot be exerted, and it is even difficult to defend effectively. In other words, it can only face the opponent with hard steel. This is Zhuge Xiaosheng.
The situation I'm most afraid of seeing.
If Qiu Muling was as awesome as Zhuge Xiaosheng, he would definitely do this.
"If it doesn't work out, we can shrink down to the mountains and fight them for a while, just to engage in guerrilla warfare in the mountains. Let's occupy all the high ground first, build nests in trees, dig holes in the mountains, and wait for them to come and die!"
Wei Yuntian also has experience in mountain and forest warfare.
"I think it will work. As long as you give me a thousand people and three days, I guarantee that I can set up a dragnet in this forest. If one comes, one of them will die, if a group comes, a bunch of them will die." When it comes to fighting in the mountains and forests, in the end,
The most awesome one is Lu Fei.
He is very familiar with the forest. He has been hunting wild beasts in the mountains for a living since he was a child...
"What if they don't attack?" Zhuge Xiaosheng sighed, "Then we will always be trapped in this forest?"
Oh...that's true, that way you would be trapped to death.
So what do you think we should do? Otherwise, just kill him directly!
"Our troops are insufficient and our actions are slow. It is not appropriate to engage in a decisive battle with them right now. I think..." Before Zhuge Xiaosheng could finish his words, he saw several Chinese army secretaries rushing in.
"General Zhuge, those letters have been translated. Please take a look at them, General."
Looking at their red eyes and exhausted looks, it seems like they didn't get a wink all night last night.
It stands to reason that translating a few letters with so many people can be done in minutes, but these letters are very special. They all use very ancient traditional scripts that only the nobles of the Xianbo royal family are familiar with.
How big is the difference?
To put it this way, it is like the difference between our current writing and the ancient small seal script of insects and birds.
So these scribes are not translating, but deciphering!
Being able to do it in one night and half a day is already very impressive.
Zhuge Xiaosheng picked up the translated letter and read it, a mysterious smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth...
These letters are not for the Xianbo general Qiu Muling, but for their little prince Moro. It seems that this little prince is also in the army.
The little prince Moro is the youngest son of the Xianbo tribe leader Tuo Hungu. He has followed his father in the wars since he was a child. He is highly skilled in martial arts, brave and good at fighting. He is familiar with the art of war and is proficient in military affairs.
He is as famous as Wanyan Pingqiu, and together with the other six tribal princes, he is known as the Eight Little Princes.
It is said that being able to lead more than 20,000 freshmen cavalry to sweep across Yanyun County has proven his strength.
This is no ordinary awesome guy.
"What the hell, the eight little princes, I see they are just eight little tortoises!" Xiao Chen has always despised any opponent in terms of strategy.
He took the letter and read it again, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Hahaha, it seems that this little tortoise is going to have its tail bitten by other little tortoises!"
These letters are top-secret urgent letters, but they were sent by Tuhun Guming. They said that little bastard Wanyan Pingqiu was going around to attract the power of various tribes to form some bullshit alliance.
He threatened to form a million-strong army and take advantage of the civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty to send his troops south to occupy Fengyang City and capture Li Wanjiang alive!
When the time comes, we can use the emperor to command the princes and coerce the garrison troops stationed in various parts of the Zhou Dynasty to surrender and submit. In the end, we will divide their territory equally. Wouldn't it be great?
It sounds like a good plan, but it's pure nonsense to think that people can figure it out with their noses!
There are dozens of tribes, large and small, in Northern Xinjiang, and there are seven or eight of them that are relatively powerful. The relationship between the big tribes is not harmonious, and small-scale fights occur every year over the grabbing of the lush grasslands.
Several of them still have blood feuds. Isn't it a joke that you want to form an alliance under such circumstances?
I'm afraid that before Yanyunguan is conquered, they will start fighting each other first.
And you, Wanyan Pingqiu, are so virtuous and capable?
What qualifications do you have to be the initiator of this alliance?
You are not even the direct son of King Mojie, your mother is just a concubine of King Mojie, and she is from the Zhou Dynasty.
You Capricorns, especially your relationship with Dazhou, have always been good, so we doubt whether you have ulterior motives for this move?
