"How long will it take for their reinforcements to arrive?"
Knowlton frowned and asked after hearing this.
As soon as these words came out, the room became a little quieter. After hearing this, everyone naturally thought of Knowlton's plan. What he actually wanted to ask was whether it was possible to give Japan the existing resources before the reinforcements arrived.
Those troops struck at once.
"This is still unclear. It may take half a day, or it may take less than two hours to get here."
Will said after thinking for a moment.
"If we send troops now when they are unprepared, how soon can we withdraw our troops?"
Knowlton asked, still holding on to a glimmer of hope.
"This?????? will probably take at least an hour. In addition to the time we now need to transfer to the army, we will need at least one and a half hours. This is already the shortest time. Of course, the premise is that we send troops in a small scale and the soldiers cannot
More than 20,000 people! Otherwise the time would not be enough."
At this time, everyone in the audience began to whisper among themselves. In their opinion, this method was really risky. After all, the other party had more than 90,000 people there. If they had recently sent 20,000 troops, they would be held back or surrounded by the other party.
The situation will be dangerous if the troops are raised. At that time, troops cannot be sent to the city for reinforcements. If troops are sent, if the opponent's reinforcements arrive, the situation will be completely out of control. But if the troops are sent successfully this time, it will not only give the opponent a disincentive.
It can also deal a heavy blow to the opponent's morale. No matter how bad it is, it can also eliminate some of their soldiers when they are unprepared.
"General, what are your plans?"
Xinchina, who had been silent at this time, asked carefully.
"Yes, I plan to strike first. If we just defend, we will be too passive."
After sighing, Knowlton said helplessly, after all, it is not a good thing to always have the opponent's army stationed in front of him.
"Well, let's do this. The soldiers of our forward battalion are already at the city gate. We can send troops at any time. Otherwise, let us try. After all, we have better mobility."
After pondering for a moment, Xinchina asked tentatively.
Knowlton's eyes lit up when he heard Xinchina's words. In terms of the combat effectiveness of the entire Xuanwu Legion, the forward battalion may not be the strongest, but they are the most effective firepower point, and they are flexible and can adapt to changes!
Although the light cavalry has very good mobility, it seems that the light cavalry is not suitable for deployment in such a surprise attack.
"No, this still won't work!" As if he thought of something, Knowlton muttered to himself and rejected the plan. Then he turned to Will and said, "Will, show us the topographic map here." Hearing the order
Afterwards, Will asked a soldier to take out a huge topographic map and place it on the table in the middle. When he opened the map, he saw that it was densely packed with topography, landforms and buildings.
Looking at the map, Knowlton put his finger on a small city in the middle and said: "This is Baoji City where we are now. Baoji City is located in the center of the Soul Dou Canyon, so both sides are expanding outward!"
Pointing to the flat land in front of him, he continued: "This is where the Japanese are currently stationed. You see, there are mountains on both sides of them. Maybe we can make some plans from here. If we can lurk through the mountains here, we might be able to get something."
Unexpected effect.”
"However, if we can think of something, the other party will also be able to think of it. I think this is unreliable."
An adjutant who had followed Knowlton here objected to Knowlton's opinion.
"How did the other party get their food and grass?"
Sim, the commander of the third division, asked Will.
"We don't know yet. We have sent scouts to investigate. I think we will have the answer soon. By evening, we should be able to find out where the other party's food and grass are currently."
Shrugging helplessly, Will gave his answer.
"As soon as possible, find out for me the source of their food and grass and the storage place for the army's food and grass. Also, send a team of soldiers to me late at night to explore the terrain of the two buildings next to us and see if they can find out.
Come by a trail."
Perhaps because he still didn't know much about the enemy's situation, or because he was unsure, Knowlton gave up the idea of attacking the enemy immediately. His main task now was to understand the enemy's situation as soon as possible and make the right countermeasures.
"Leave this matter to Will. On the other side of the city wall, we are now divided into three groups of people to take turns on duty. Each group has four hours. There are about 90,000 of our people here, and each group has 30,000 people.
Well, your division commander will be responsible for these things. Okay, everyone should go back and sort out military affairs today. Officers above the battalion commander will have a meeting here tomorrow morning!"
With that, Knowlton dismissed the meeting.
After hearing the order, everyone exited the military camp one after another, walked outside and took a deep breath. Long Aotian felt a little more relaxed. The meeting just now confirmed his idea that no matter what,
He wants to sit in a high position because he doesn't want to be ineligible to participate in the next meeting. Such a thing is very uncomfortable for a strong person like him.
After returning to his Qianqi, Long Aotian led his soldiers to find some space on both sides of the street behind the city gate for everyone to set up tents. These places will be their residence for the next period of time.
In the afternoon, since the forward battalion had not yet been assigned to duty, all the soldiers stayed in their tents to have a good rest. They had traveled a lot today and they had to move their troops as soon as possible.
Adjust the state to the best. Only in this way can casualties on the battlefield be avoided as much as possible.
"Aotian, let's go, it's our turn for the forward battalion to be on duty, let's get ready!"
Long Aotian, who was still resting that night, heard Link's call.
"So soon, when?"
A little confused and rubbing his sleepy eyes, Long Aotian asked a little depressed. In the afternoon, he looked around and saw that there was nothing to do, so he went back to his room to rest. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep accidentally.
Until now.
"It's almost six o'clock. Let's go. In a quarter of an hour there will be a changing of the guard. Now General Xinchina is with several troops outside!"
"Six o'clock?" Long Aotian couldn't help but pat his forehead when he heard this time. He didn't expect that he would sleep until now. Three hours had passed.
"Okay, I'll be right back. You go gather our soldiers first."
With that, Long Aotian quickly walked out of the bed, put on his armor and said.
After sorting it out casually, Long Aotian ran outside his house and saw that the streets here were already densely packed with soldiers from the forward battalion. As for where the residents here were, this was actually
It's very simple. Because there was a war here, the residents who could move moved to the city behind this morning. At this moment, only some necessary residents are left here to help out.
They also live under the north gate on the principle side, which is relatively safer.
Arriving in front of his Qianqi, Long Aotian nodded to Link and stood in.
"Okay, now it's the turn of our forward battalion soldiers to go on duty on the city wall. You all cheered me up when you were on duty. The other side may come to attack us at any time, especially since their reinforcements have not yet arrived.
I guess it won't be long before I arrive. That's the most dangerous time. I hope everyone can cheer up and pay attention to me, so as not to lose the face of our forward battalion!"
After seeing everyone sorting out their teams, Xinchina shouted to everyone.
"Focus on it!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Now we start the handover." With that said, under the leadership of Xinchina, everyone lined up in two columns and walked towards the city. Because the handover can be said to be the most chaotic time for the team, they must proceed carefully.
Otherwise, it would be difficult if the enemy attacks at this time.
The soldiers who came up from the left immediately pushed down the positions of the soldiers in front of them and let them come down the road on the right. After such meticulous handover and vaccination, everyone spent nearly half an hour and finally completed the task.
Long Aotian's team was arranged on the right wall, and there were all the soldiers of the Second Division and his camp.
"Bird, do you think the Japanese will launch an attack today?" Looking down at the city, Long Aotian couldn't help but feel a hint of pride in his heart. He looked at the Japanese military camp in the distance and asked Bird beside him.
"What do you think?" Without answering Long Aotian's question, Bird looked at him with a smile.
"I don't know about this, but if their reinforcements arrive, I think they will attack after making a slight adjustment." Long Aotian lowered his head and thought for a while and said in a low voice.
"But no matter who they are attacking! As long as our forward battalion hasn't fallen, as long as all my 3000 cavalry haven't been killed, and as long as I, Long Aotian, am still alive, they can't even think of taking a single step past us."
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Long Aotian's eyes. He looked at the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance and said firmly.
His handsome face was illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun and his hair was held up by the wind blowing from time to time. Bird couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. At this moment, Long Aotian looked handsome and enchanting.
At this moment, he looked so tall and majestic. Bird could be sure that Long Aotian would do what he said.
"Me too, then let us stick to our empire together!"
As he spoke, Bird stretched out his hand and took Long Aotian's hand and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, let's hold on together!"
Smiling, I looked at Bird's two hands and came together!
From then on, Bird, who was called the weapon of the God of War by later generations, stood beside the God of War and began their legendary myth.
