Chapter 254: March

"Click, click, ......" The horses' hooves clanged, and a group of cavalry rushed to the west.

The people who were originally walking on the official road heard the sound and made way for the cavalry, stood on the periphery of the official road, and silently watched the cavalry go away.

Behind the cavalry, there were wagons. It was not a carriage for the nobles, it was similar to a flatbed wagon, with a fence on the front and back, left and right, and four infantrymen sat on it.

Yes, that's right, a carriage pulled four infantrymen, as well as their infantry. When Chen Fei saw this scene, he wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.

The military of the Tang Dynasty seems to be much more developed than he imagined! The infantry was actually transported by horse-drawn carts!

Although not as fast as the cavalry, it is also much faster than walking.

"Brother Chu Mo, this..." Chen Fei felt like a hillbilly, he had never seen anything in the world.

Cheng Chumo looked at Chen Fei like a hillbilly: "Haha, Ah Fei, haven't you seen it?" Since pacifying the north and the east. Suddenly. In recent years, we have provided us with a lot of excellent war horses, and now the infantry can also be transported by horses, which can maintain the speed of marching while ensuring the physical strength of the soldiers, and they can start fighting as soon as they arrive at the battlefield. ”

Chen Fei gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, the Tang Dynasty is really the most awesome era." ”

Cheng Chumo blinked cutely: "What do you mean?" ”

At this moment, Chen Fei showed an expression of looking at the hillbilly: "Awesome is the meaning of awesome, don't you understand Brother Chumo?" ”

Cheng Chumo ...... I really don't understand.

"Brother Chu Mo, how long will it take for us to arrive in Songzhou?"

Cheng Chumo wrenched his fingers and calculated: "It will take about ten days to reach Songzhou, and this is still the state of rapid marching at the current speed." ”

"Ten days... Ten days later, is Songzhou City still there? As soon as Chen Fei's words fell, several people nearby, including Cheng Chumo, were solemn, and everyone's hearts seemed to be pressed against a stone, heavy and breathless.

"Hard to say!" After a long time, Cheng Chu sighed silently and said: "The enemy has 200,000 troops, and the strength of Songzhou is less than 10,000, even if you add the requisitioned Xiangyong, it is estimated that it will be about 20,000, and 20,000 will resist 200,000..."

Cheng Chumo shook his head: "If that Governor Han Wei has some military talent, he may be able to resist it, but unfortunately, as far as I know, that Han Wei is a mediocre talent, and he doesn't have much ability, so it is difficult to hold on." ”

As soon as Cheng Chu finished speaking, a cavalryman chased after him from behind, shouting as he went: "Where is the general?" There is an urgent report! Urgent news from Songzhou! ”

"What urgent report? Read it to me. Cheng Chumo stopped the cavalry who gave the order.

When the cavalry saw that Cheng Chumo was surrounded by young generals, he immediately did not dare to slack off, and said the content of the emergency report out of breath. "Too... Taiji Palace has just received the latest battle report, Songzhou Governor Han Wei rashly led 5,000 cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy, accidentally surrounded, 5,000 soldiers and horses lost more than 4,000, Songzhou soldiers and air defense is weak, please speed up the march, before Songzhou is captured! ”

"What? Han Wei went out of the city to meet the enemy? Cheng Chumo's eyes widened, then he beat his chest angrily, raised his head and shouted: "Wow, yes! This idiot! I'm! With 200,000 enemy troops, did he dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy and look for death? ”

After venting, Cheng Chumo whipped his horse whip fiercely, and ordered the people around him: "Quickly pass this news to the general, and by the way, notify the troops to speed up the march!" ”

"Yes!" The small generals around him scattered one after another, to inform the troops or the generals. Cheng Chumo and Chen Fei are still in their original positions, but Cheng Chumo's face is very ugly at the moment, and he has been greeting Han Wei and his ancestors.

"Brother Chu Mo is angry, something has happened, and there is no point in being angry." Chen Fei said with relief on the side.

He knew that in history, Han Wei would go out to fight lightly and return with a big defeat in the first battle, so he was not as surprised as Cheng Chumo.

"How can I not be angry? Do you know what it means if Songzhou is captured? ”

"What does that mean?" Chen Fei blinked cutely.

"Hey! Have you ever looked at a military map? ”

Hearing the words military map, Chen Fei almost rolled his eyes. In his previous life, he was also a serious liberal arts student, and looking at the map is a must-have homework, but... What the hell are the maps of these years?

The simplicity of the painting is understandable, everyone likes the minimalist style, but you can't see why it's a bit too simple.

Chen Fei looked at it for a long time, and he didn't see anything drawn on this map, so he had time to draw a military map, although it was not perfect, but it was definitely better than the existing version.

"Brother Chu Mo, look, isn't this it?"

"Huh?" Cheng Chumo couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the map that Chen Fei took out. "Who drew this map? How is it better than what I use? ”

Chen Fei pointed at himself arrogantly: "Of course I painted it." ”

Cheng Chumo glanced at Chen Fei in surprise, and then immediately lowered his head and carefully studied the map. "Look, since you have drawn a map, you should also understand the importance of Songzhou****? If Songzhou is lost, then the western gateway will be wide open, and Tufan can drive straight into the hinterland of Jiannan Road..."

"So Songzhou can't be lost, right?"

"Yes!"

"But have you ever wondered what to do if Songzhou is lost? If we don't even think about this, our march is very risky. ”

Cheng Chumo pointed to several cities near Songzhou and said: "If Songzhou is lost, then we can only disperse our forces to these cities and leave, and then defend these cities until the Tubo retreats, or wait for reinforcements." ”

"Passive guarding is the next step, maybe you can give Tubo a dose of fierce material." Chen Fei touched his chin and showed a sinister smile.

"Fierce material? What's the big stuff? ”

Chen Fei retracted his gaze and looked at Cheng Chumo calmly, "Brother Chumo, do you remember the thousand elite soldiers sent to the hinterland of Tibet?" Perhaps, let them move. ”

A thousand elite soldiers were proposed by Chen Fei to Li Shimin and implemented, counting the days, this army has been infiltrating the hinterland of Tibet for almost two months, and it should adapt to the local life, if it is to be used, it is indeed time.

Don't look at the fact that there are 200,000 troops in Tubo, it sounds very scary, Chen Fei knows that among these 200,000 people, there are only about 40,000 or 50,000 people, and the rest are all people in Tubo, the kind who go into battle with a stone gun.

Regardless of the combat strength of these people, anyway, Chen Fei knew that the current base camp of Tubo must be very empty, not only empty, but also lonely and cold, Chen Fei felt the need to add a fire to his rear at this time to warm up his body.

"Elite soldiers? That's right! How did I not think of that? No, I'll tell my dad about this. Cheng Chumo patted the horse and quickly left to find Cheng Yanjin.

Chen Fei shouted loudly from behind: "Brother Chu Mo, don't forget to say that this is my opinion!" ”

"Got it, don't worry, I won't rob you of your credit!" Cheng Chumo disappeared into the sea of people.

Chen Fei smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time, his mind was spinning, thinking about how to make military merits.

The so-called soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, Chen Fei is a very qualified good soldier, and he has a reason to climb up!

"Linchuan, wait for me to return from meritorious service!" Chen Fei meditated in his heart, and then opened the [Treasure Chest System]...
