Chapter 252: The Flying Wing Guard's First Contribution
"What do you think?" Uluolan asked his generals.
"My subordinates all listen to the little prince." Since Qiu Muling and others said so, they expressed no objection.
"Okay, then I'll bother General Zhuge." Uluolan no longer hesitated, took out a small pure gold commander's seal, and handed it to Zhuge Xiaosheng with both hands.
"I will definitely live up to my mission!" Zhuge Xiaosheng took it without hesitation.
Now Zhuge Xiaosheng holds the two handsome seals of Xiao Chen and Wu Luolan in his hands, and also holds the life and death of nearly 30,000 soldiers on both sides.
heavy responsibility.
The power is also great.
In front of Xiao Chen and Wu Luolan, he was also the biggest.
"What we are going to fight this time is a defensive counterattack. Defend first and then counterattack." Zhuge Xiaosheng laid out the military operation map he had prepared on the table.
Naturally, defense still relies on ballistae. Now their main camp is located on a hill, and Zhuge Xiaosheng is preparing to arrange all the ballistae around it.
However, the range that hundreds of ballistas can defend is quite limited, and 30,000 soldiers will definitely not be able to accommodate it.
So he decided to let Qiu Muling select two thousand elites and two thousand death-defying vanguards, plus one thousand heavy cavalry, two thousand light cavalry, five hundred monk soldiers, five hundred musketeers, and two thousand shield soldiers and hooks and sickles.
The soldiers stayed.
The remaining more than 10,000 freshmen cavalry were divided into two teams and retreated to the rear of both sides of the Chinese army camp about eight miles away.
The specific battle plan is that once Wanyan Pingqiu's army arrives, the two thousand death-defying vanguards will attack the enemy and fight to the death!
This was because they wanted to give Wanyan Pingqiu the illusion that the Xianbo army was evacuating, so that they would think that the mission of their death squads was to desperately block the retreat and cover the retreat of the army.
In this case, Wanyan Pingqiu will definitely lead the army to rush over. When they come, Uluolan must stand at the highest point of the camp to let the other party see clearly.
Wanyan Pingqiu certainly understands the principle of capturing the thief first, so he will definitely surround this hill and launch a fierce attack.
The next step is to defend. During the defensive process, the long-range firepower of muskets, archers, and more than a dozen catapults will be used to cooperate with each other to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible.
When the opponent's offensive weakens, the more than 10,000 freshmen cavalry who retreated come back from the two wings, and then all the elites in our camp come out, cooperate inside and outside, and fight them to the death!
The plan is quite thorough and clear, but everyone also has a lot of questions.
First of all, let me ask General Zhuge, how do you know that Wanyan Pingqiu will launch an attack? Our two armies are currently in a confrontation. He must be hesitating. We can't take the initiative to provoke others, right?
"Wanyan Pingqiu has united and gathered so many people from various tribes. He has to fight no matter what. Otherwise, how will he explain to his allies? Should he let them all return without success? Then he will be in northern Xinjiang in the future.
What prestige is there?" Zhuge Xiaosheng first analyzed the situation.
"The reason why he has not attacked is because he is weighing the pros and cons of this battle, as well as the casualties. After all, the Xianbo cavalry is quite powerful. If he wins, it will be okay. But if he loses and suffers serious losses, he will lose more than he gains.
, even if the casualties are too large, he can't afford it." Let's analyze Wanyan Pingqiu's psychology.
"They are just a few foxes walking on thin ice now. They want to eat the delicious food on the other side of the river, but they are also afraid of falling into the glacier. But as long as they find that we are showing signs of weakness and retreat, these cunning foxes will calm down and do not hesitate.
Attack! Even if Wanyan Pingqiu doesn't attack, the leaders of other tribes will attack."
Zhuge Xiaosheng's analysis was very thorough, but the problem arises again. What if Wanyan Pingqiu just surrounded us but did not attack, and then divided his troops to chase the more than 10,000 people outside?
Even if the more than 10,000 people can continue to evacuate, how far can they go without food and grass? Sooner or later they will be overtaken and destroyed.
Also, General Zhuge, have you noticed? There is no water source on this hill! As long as he is trapped for three days, the man will die of thirst...
When the time comes, the only option is to break out, then wouldn’t the final result be annihilated by others?
"Haha, we don't have enough food and grass, how much food and grass can Wanyan Pingqiu have? Besides, he saw the little prince here with his own eyes, and saw with his own eyes the withdrawal of more than 10,000 freshmen cavalry, he will definitely conclude that the remaining troops are only
Only a few thousand. This is a grassland, not a natural barrier for a city. With a hundred thousand people, how can they surround it without attacking?"
"In addition, I will send a special force to harass and frighten him at the grain storage area behind him." Zhuge Xiaosheng had already made up his mind.
So when will we launch a counterattack? Our two troops are ten miles away from the camp, and the camp will definitely be surrounded by water. How can we get your general order?
"Use the red smoke as a signal. As soon as you see the red smoke rising from the top of the mountain, you will fight back immediately. There is no need to wait for other orders!" Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
When to act?
Early tomorrow morning!
Now everyone, let's go down and make preparations.
But Qiu Muling suddenly remembered something, "General Zhuge, you have nearly 10,000 troops moving over. It's impossible that Wanyan Pingqiu doesn't know about it, right?"
Then your tactic of showing weakness will not work.
"Haha, you can rest assured about General Qiu Muling. Wanyan Pingqiu will never know about our visit," Zhuge Xiaosheng said with a smile.
why?
Zhuge Xiaosheng had no explanation.
Because when their army was setting off, Zhuge Xiaosheng first sent out a magical rapid force to wipe out all the enemy's scouts within a radius of more than a hundred miles!
Guess who leads this magical speed troop?
Tip: She is a little girl with a beautiful smile and a pair of small tiger teeth.
Duan Ling'er was so happy to receive the task assigned by Zhuge Xiaosheng for the first time. She patted her chest and swore to him that she would complete the task!
But this mission is a bit too simple for us Wing Guards. How about we simply attack Wanyan Pingqiu's camp, set fire to them, poison them, catch a few tongues, and cause some trouble?
Zhuge Xiaosheng said, you are not causing trouble for others, you are causing trouble for ourselves!
The purpose of asking you to clear out the spies nearby is to hide our traces. It would be better for you to take the initiative and expose it to others!
Duan Linger then gave up the idea and obeyed Zhuge Xiaosheng's general order.
She has a very smart mind. Before setting off, she went to borrow twenty sharp archers from Lu Fei, just in case the other party's spies were too far away and we couldn't catch up...
Just swish swish!
Duan Ling'er did not break her promise. She completed this important task beyond Zhuge Xiaosheng's expectations.
Not only did he kill dozens of spies from the other side, he also captured a dozen of them alive, and got a lot of information about the other side from their accounts...
Zhuge Xiaosheng was so happy that he hugged Duan Ling'er and kissed her hard on her face.
Pass to the Central Army and mark the first victory for Duan Ling'er and her flying wing guards!
