Chapter 1031: All ministries receive orders, pioneer Lei Zheng
"Our actions are naturally exposed as late as possible! In this way, we can also accumulate stronger power!"
"Furthermore, the most important thing in our battle is to subdue their power as much as possible for our use, rather than completely annihilating the clan! Therefore, during the attack, if you are sure, do as little killing as possible."
"Now, I will give you the order!"
"Zhao Xing, commander of the military capital, I will allocate two thousand troops and horses to you. You will set off at 9 o'clock tomorrow and rush to the end of Nanguang River in the west as soon as possible and set up an ambush here. If anyone from the Yixi tribe escapes, they will all be intercepted and killed!"
"
"The final general honors your order!"
"Weng Xingchao, Marquis of Duyu, I will allocate two thousand soldiers and horses with you. Like Zhao Xing, go to the south of Yishan Mountain, twenty-five miles east of Yixi, and set up an ambush here! Kill any scattered people who may come.
The tribe, secondly, once the Yixi tribe is defeated, intercept and kill those who fled."
"The general will obey your orders!"
"Yangyuan Hua, my commander has assigned two thousand troops of yours to set up an ambush at the end of the Chishui River twenty miles south of the Yixi tribe! When the Yixi tribe is defeated, they will most likely flee south to the Mangbu tribe.
!The two thousand soldiers and horses of your tribe are mainly used to raid and harass. If it is not necessary, there is no need to forcefully fight the defeated army! After the raid, wait until the remnants of the Yixi tribe pass by your garrison, chase them for ten miles, and then return.
Soldiers and commander join together!"
"The final general honors your order!"
"Guduo, you also lead two thousand troops and go thirty-five miles south of Yixi tribe and set up an ambush on the spot. The purpose is the same as Yangyuanhua!"
"The final general honors your order!"
"Shiying, after two interceptions and killings, the Yixi Tribe has been defeated. I have assigned five thousand troops to you! Set up an ambush fifty miles south of the Yixi Tribe! When the remnants of the Yixi Tribe arrive here, completely intercept and kill them.
it's here!"
"Don't worry, Commander!"
Shiying grinned widely. Although he could not attack the city with Shen Tang, entrusting him with such an important position was obviously Shen Tang's trust in him. "The general will never let a person from the Yixi tribe
Get out of here!"
"Shen Qiu! You lead all the cavalry in your headquarters and cruise on the west side of the entire southbound road. If anyone comes, they will be intercepted and killed!"
"The general will obey your orders!"
"The rest of the people, along with my commander's army, will besiege the Yixi tribe!"
"Sizhou, the ancestral land of the Yixi tribe, is mainly composed of gentle hills, and there are no dangerous areas around it. Therefore, there is only one missing area. Shentu Mou, you lead five thousand troops and form an array with Ma Xinghua, who is in the east of the ancestral land of the Yixi tribe.
You lead your five thousand soldiers and horses in formation to the west of the Yixi tribe's ancestral land! In addition to the soldiers and horses, each of you has fifteen ladders and thirty catapults. I, the commander, will lead fifteen thousand soldiers and march from Yi.
Attack from the north of Xibei to the south!"
"At that time, all soldiers will obey the unified orders of this commander! At the beginning, give enough pressure to the Yixi tribe, Ma Xinghua, Shentu Mou, and your two troops will be lined up in thousands, and they will take turns to attack continuously.
, if the Yi Xi tribe forces a fight, there is no need to fight, just turn to defense! Tomorrow and tomorrow night, all attacks will not be interrupted!"
"Our troops and horses are several times that of the opponent's, and the attacking side takes the initiative. Therefore, in order to minimize the casualties of the brothers, wait until they are exhausted before launching a general attack!"
"We, obey your orders!"
All the generals present responded in unison!
Shen Tang stood up, looked at the densely packed geological maps on the mountain, and brushed his palms over the Wumeng Mountain area, "The Wumeng Mountain area has been divided since one or two hundred years ago, until now! And today, I
We will unify this again! Everyone present is a participant and a witness! We don’t need to think about the praise and criticism of history, but our names will definitely be recorded in the history books in the future! This... is you
My glory!"
Early the next morning, after midnight, all the generals assigned by Shen Tang led their troops away first! They must find a suitable position and ambush before Shen Tang's attack on the Yixi tribe is completed!
As the hour is approaching, Shen Tang leads the last 13,000 soldiers and horses across the Changyi Mountain Pass! The auxiliary troops led by Jian Cheng and others continue to camp outside the Changyi Mountain Pass and wait! This battle will be temporary. Their participation is not needed. They only need to ensure the retreat of Shen Tang and others as well as the safety of their food and fodder.
Five miles ahead, the forward troops led by General Wen Chao were already waiting in formation!
"Commander, the front is about fifteen miles away from the ancestral land of the Yixi tribe. The general was ordered to station here last night, but no soldiers and horses of the Yixi tribe were found!"
"The scouts from the front have come to report and have reported back the general situation of the Yixi tribe's ancestral land!"
"The ancestral land of the Yixi tribe is about seven or eight miles in radius. There are mainly four city gates for passage, and the rest are made of stone walls, which are about ten feet high! Every ten feet, there are arrow towers and watchtowers. Set up, it can accommodate thirty to fifty archers!"
"Beyond the city gates in the north and south directions, there are ditches two feet wide, and the ditches outside the east and west gates are about ten feet wide! The water source is diverted from the Chishui River about twenty miles to the south..."
It is said to be an ancestral land, but in fact it is basically similar to a big city.
However, the cities built by these tribes are far from those in the Song Dynasty. Not to mention the inner city, outer city, urn city, etc., even the size of the moat and city walls is much different from the cities in the Song Dynasty!
"I dare not check the situation in his ancestral land without authorization!"
Shen Tang narrowed his eyes, "It seems like this is a tough guy!"
"How many soldiers and horses are at their city gate?
How's it going?"
"There are about a hundred tribesmen at each city gate! Half an hour ago, the scouts came to report that their city gates were opened normally, and a few tribesmen came in and out. All people entering and leaving will be carefully inspected by the guards.
But for the time being, they don’t know about our arrival!”
"Wen Chao, return to our formation!"
"Lei Zheng, this is a difficult first battle. Are you willing to be the vanguard for me?"
This Lei Zheng was the first warrior of the Xuhen Department that Shen Tang met when he went to the Xuhen Department! This man was seven feet tall and extremely burly. Shen Tang directly equipped him with full-body armor. From a distance, he looked like Like a ferocious beast!
This man was extremely brave, and Shen Tang liked him very much, so he took him with him directly!
Hearing Shen Tang's order, Lei Zhang grinned ferociously and stepped out of the array with a huge mace. "Don't worry, Commander, I won't go here. If we can't capture the enemy's city gate, The final general is willing to deal with it according to the military law of the commander-in-chief!"
"I have assigned you twenty ladders, fifty catapults, and two rams!"
"Jiang Shang, you lead three thousand archers from our headquarters to hold down the formation for Lei Zheng!"
After saying that, Shen Tang turned to Lei Zheng and said, "Lei Zheng, just do your best in this battle. You have to know that both you and the men under your command are my brothers! We will capture this city later." It doesn’t matter, but if any one of these sons is injured, it will make me feel distressed! I take you to conquer the north and south to make achievements, not to bring you to die! You... understand!"
Lei Zheng stabbed the mace on the ground with a bang, knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Commander!"
