Liu Ji stood on the top of the mountain, holding a telescope in his hand, looking down the mountain. This is the military division of the West Shou Supervisor, which is blocking the intersection from the east. Since it is a nomadic residence of the party, there is no city here, only camp tents. In the summer, herders graze their cattle in the mountains, and in winter, they gather here, and the surrounding basin is used as winter pastures.

Bao Ledao, the commander of the capital, said: "Deployment, in front of it is the military division of the party's Xishou Supervisor." Their men and horses blocked the crossing, and we couldn't get out of line in front of them. Originally, if all the people here were all here, there should be more than 30,000 tents and nearly 20,000 soldiers. After our army arrived at Zhenrong, many families fled, and now there are only more than 10,000 people. ”

Liu Ji nodded. After looking at it for a while, he said, "Tell the army to camp in the mountains first, and wait for the artillery to come up." Choose the top of the hill, push the cannon up the hill, and scatter the party army on the opposite side. If they attack, the infantry can stop them. ”

Bao Le fork hand said yes. The mountains in this area are all low and have gentle slopes. Although there are many trees, it is not difficult to carve out a path up the mountain in winter. The party was facing the mountain pass, and the Song army could not be deployed, so the safest way was to use artillery bombardment to break up the party army.

Coming down from the mountain and returning to the tent, Liu Ji sat opposite Bao Le.

Liu Jidao: "Yesterday, I got a report from the court, and Captain Han on the West Road has broken Suzhou, and now he must be in Wai Ganzhou." Counting its march, it was almost with us to send troops, and its march had passed thousands of miles, and it was very smooth to take the land of Sanzhou. It was the courtiers who ordered us not to go back to Huluchuan after breaking the Xishou Prison Military Division, but to go north over Weijing Mountain, to get the reason, and occupy the Guojia ferry. After Hou Han Taiwei took Ganzhou, he met in Liangzhou and returned to his account. ”

Bao Le was stunned: "Taiwei, in this way, we will no longer be under the control of Taiwei Di?" This is equivalent to a real division of troops. ”

Liu Ji nodded: "Yes, after this battle, we will be under the account of Captain Han." There was no way, our march was too slow, and we were driven over by Captain Han from two thousand miles away. We have 50,000 troops all the way, nominally you are the supreme commander, but in fact, the soldiers and horses below are from very mixed sources, and they are not together for a long time. In the following days, you and I will work together to sort out and reorganize the military system. ”

Bao Le said: "As far as I know, the subordinate soldiers and horses are fixed except for the battalion level, and the above are all temporarily organized. The artillery and cavalry I brought below me also rowed over five days ago, and they were not familiar with them. ”

Liu Ji waved his hand: "I don't care if I am familiar with it, the key is to make it clear and understand it simply." According to the old practice of Hequ Road, it is roughly compiled according to regiments and brigades. Three battalions and one regiment, three regiments and one brigade, a third of the posts were artillery and cavalry. Our current army, cavalry and artillery are not as good as the original soldiers and horses on the meandering road, so we have to rely more on infantry. ”

Bao Le thought for a while and said, "There are a lot of things that need to be done to make it up like this. We have to fight again, and we have to assemble our troops—"

Liu Jidao: "It's okay, when the division of troops is about to be divided, I ask for more staff officers in the army to accompany the army." Leave a lot of things to them, you just have to grasp the big picture. I'll take command of this battle myself, so you can concentrate on putting your army in order. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ji sighed and said, "I am training with Du Zhongcheng in Suizhou. In today's army, the most important thing is that the command system is clear, from the commander to the soldier, and it is simple and clear. When fighting, once facing the enemy, it can quickly start fighting. We are now far from meeting that requirement. In the army, as before, only the battalion level is fixed. Originally, the establishment above the battalion level should have had its own units directly under it, and it should have been running in and training for a long time. Originally, these formations had just been formed, and many of them were disrupted before the war. You have to understand that in wartime, the command system is not clear, and it often goes very wrong. The commander did not dare to use it with confidence, and the commander was tied, and the whole army could not let go. An army of 50,000 can only be used as 10,000 people. After defeating the enemy on the opposite side, we quickly went to the right and put everything in order there. ”

Bao Le said yes. He could hear that Liu Ji was quite dissatisfied with Di Qing, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that it was a good thing for the two to separate. Because Di Qing was not familiar with the new military system, he was worried that there would be chaos, so he used his cronies to take charge of the army before the battle, and all the establishments above the battalion level were abolished. The artillery and cavalry were all combined, and they were only replenished to the armies before the battle, causing confusion in command.

Liu Ji was accustomed to the habit of commanding the meandering road, and he was very uncomfortable with this. It's also a good thing to be separated from Di Qing.

In the military division of the West Shoujian, several major generals gathered around a fire to discuss the upcoming battle.

Meile Kama said: "The day before yesterday, the Song military horses were found in the mountain road, and our scouts were not opponents, so they were all forced back. Looking at the past from the top of the mountain, there are really a lot of Song troops coming. Listening to the details, it turned out that Qin Fenglu had deployed Liu Ji as the commander and brought 50,000 troops to come. ”

He didn't move up the cliff and said, "How is this good?" Since the Song army concentrated on the Zhenrong army, many households under his rule were afraid and fled one after another. Many households refused to be called this time, and now there are only more than 12,000 people. The guns of the Song army are already difficult to deal with, and the difference in numbers is so huge, how can they fight? ”

Meile Kama said: "We want to be in front of the mountain road and not let the Song army come in and expand." Occupying the mountain road, the Song army can only rely on the mountain, and the formation is bound to be chaotic, so it is not so difficult to deal with. ”

Ba Bu A buried and said: "Tai Lieutenant, I don't think that mountain road will limit the Song army in any way. The nearby mountains are low, the grass is deep and the trees are sparse, and the Song army is to line up on the mountains and still be able to fight. Wouldn't it be better for them to use guns and cannons in the first place, but not in the mountains? ”

Sister Le Kama said: "So what to do? We can't just abandon the land and flee as soon as the Song army comes, so how can we go back and explain? This battle is going to be fought anyway, just find a way to see how to fight better. Speaking of which, four years ago, the Song army attacked Shanhe Pass, and the 60,000 troops of the White Horse Supervision Army Division went to war, but the whole army was wiped out. The rest of the generals in the DPRK and China have not yet fought in the Lu Song army. ”

Didn't move the cliff and was a little weak-hearted: "Tai Lieutenant, the 60,000 army of the White Horse Supervision Army Division, facing the 30,000 Song army, lost a battle." We have more than 10,000 people, facing the Song army of 50,000, how can we fight this battle? ”

Sister Le Kama said: "If the White Horse Supervisor is defeated, he will be defeated in the attack. The Song army used guns, and his soldiers and horses were forced to attack, and before they could meet each other, all the men and horses were folded inside. We just need to hold on and not attack. ”

Babu Abury and the Cliff of Immortality glanced at each other, and both shook their heads secretly. The two armies faced each other, and let the other side attack, I had never heard of such a battle. Both of them are local clansmen, and many of them belong to their own families. It's not like Mei Le Kama, he was sent by the imperial court, and the soldiers and horses here have nothing to do with him. According to the arrangement of Sister Le Kama, this is to let these more than 10,000 soldiers and horses fight for their lives.

Without fighting, there is no reason to surrender without a fight. Although Babu Buried and Didn't Move the Cliff, although they secretly thought about a plan in their hearts, they didn't say anything more. Although the Song army is powerful, who knows if there will be an accident? Song Jun can't all be like Du Zhongxiao, fight cleanly and neatly, and don't give the opponent any chance at all. This area is surrounded by mountains, and it is always easy to escape.

Sister Le Kama said: "Liu Ji has been deployed in Qinfeng Road for several years, but his soldiers and horses are all in Qinzhou and have not come here. Now the soldiers under his command are not familiar with the neighborhood. It's not like we're here without opportunities. ”

Ba Bua buried and said: "Tai Lieutenant, our scout cavalry was suppressed by the Song army, and now the army is approaching, and it is not a good thing to know the details of the other party." The most important thing now is not how to fight, but what to do in the event of an unfavorable war, and we should make arrangements as early as possible. ”

Sister Lekama glared at Babu Abury and said, "How can it be reasonable to talk about defeat before fighting!" The 300,000 troops of the Song army are attacking, so naturally they should block it step by step, so that the rear is ready! ”

He didn't move up the cliff and said: "There is too much difference in the strength of the two sides, and we are controlled everywhere, what Captain Babu said makes sense." The Song army came from the south, and troops and horses were sent to sweep through the mountains on both sides, and once the battle was unfavorable, there was no way to retreat to the south. ”

Babu A buried and said: "The Wuyi clan is the Wuyanxia clan, there should be peace there, right?" ”

He shook his head again and again: "How can it be safe?" The population of our tribe has all been evacuated to the mountains, and we don't know what will happen next spring. ”

Ba Bu A buried and said: "Yes, the Song army came and made people panic. Our clan had been wintering in Weijing Mountain, and recently they were preparing to escape from Lingbo Mountain. It's just that there are a few big families there, and I don't know if it's going well. ”

Speaking of this, the people who didn't move the cliff and Babu Abury were all worried, and they didn't pay attention to their sister Lekhama at all.

Sister Le Kama has no choice, the two are local clans, and many things have to rely on them. At this time, the Song army was pressed by the army, and the party was naturally panicked, and it was impossible to suppress it at all. If they are defeated this time, it may lead to the destruction of the race, and it is no wonder that they are careful.

Listening to the two of them complaining for a while, Wei Lekama said: "Look at the arrangement of the Song army, if you don't attack tomorrow, you will attack the day after tomorrow." We have to be prepared early and not be caught off guard by them. In the past few days, no one will take off their armor, and they will not make mistakes! ”

Didn't move the cliff and baa a buried fork hand said yes. The population of these two races is not the only one in the army, and the people of other small races are in front of them in the first battle.

Meile Kama said: "When the Song army comes to fight, it is likely to send elite soldiers and horses to rush out of the intersection. In order to prevent this, elite soldiers and horses should be sent to directly counterattack when the Song army rushed out. I don't know who in the army can take on this important task? ”

He didn't move up the cliff and Babu Abu glanced at each other, and said, "Captain, this matter is very important, how about we go down and think about it carefully?" ”

Sister Lekama listened to their prevarication, and was a little displeased, and said: "Now in wartime, the most important thing is to fight, and you can't just care about your own gains and losses. Tomorrow morning, you report to me. Only by being fully prepared can we fight to the death with the Song army! ”
