Chapter 508: Before the War (Part II)
Time passed day by day, and at noon four days later, in a sharp whistle that was getting closer and closer, the originally quiet horse thief camp boiled for a moment.
"Chief, a signal has been sent from the west, and the Western Turks are encamped twenty miles away." As soon as the curtain of the Chinese army's big tent was lifted, a tall figure walked in and said to Xue Rengui with a fist.
"Let the brothers enter a state of combat readiness, double the open and dark sentinels at night, and put them ten miles away." Xue Rengui's gaze moved on the military book in his hand, his expression was flat, and he didn't seem to take the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Western Turks to heart at all.
"Boss, is it still according to the original plan? A head-on collision is very bad for us, and in my opinion, it is better to give them a blow at night while they are not firmly on the ground. Tuoba Mumi hesitated for a moment and asked with some uncertainty.
Xue Rengui closed the scroll in his hand, looked at Tuoba Mumi and said, "We can think of the enemy, but we may not be unexpected, if they are prepared, we may not be able to take advantage of the night attack." So let's send someone to send them a letter and tell them that early tomorrow morning, the southwest of Gaochang City will be the place of the decisive battle. ”
"Okay." Tuoba Muya didn't insist on his opinion, but before leaving, he seemed to think of something, turned around and asked, "Chief, what about those horse thieves who have been recruited?" Will they give us a stab in the back? ”
Xue Rengui sneered, and said with some disdain: "Then it depends on how we fight in front, if we show a little decline, I'm afraid that they will immediately turn back." But if we have the upper hand, it's still good to use them to pick up rabbits. ”
"Then if they turn against the water......"
"Will we lose?" Looking at the hesitant Tuoba Mumi, Xue Rengui's face became cold.
Tuoba Mumi was stared at by Xue Rengui's leopard-like eyes, and his hair was about to stand up, so he quickly shook his head: "No!" ”
"Go and arrange your subordinates, tomorrow you will be the Chinese army!" Reining in the surging killing intent on his body, Xue Rengui stared at Tuoba Mumi for a while, and said lightly.
"Whoa!" "Hey, me!"
Tuoba Mumi, who turned to leave, just lifted the curtain, and collided with Gao Zhan, who rushed in from outside, and the sturdy man did not move at all, but Gao Zhan was knocked out and let out a miserable scream.
"Are you alright?" Dong Jiansen, who was following Gao Zhan, smiled strangely and handed his hand to Gao Zhan.
"Nothing? You try to hit it, this guy has armor all day long, and he hits him like a city wall. Rubbing his faintly painful forehead, Gao Zhan complained while pushing aside the crowd around him who were smiling evilly, and was the first to get into the big tent of the Chinese army, and there was a sound of laughter behind him.
"Brigade, the Western Turks are here, should we go and get him?" Glaring at the people behind him, Gao Zhan leaned over to Xue Rengui's desk and asked.
"I just told Mu Mi that I will not move today, and I will talk about everything tomorrow." Xue Rengui saw that all the high-level commanders had basically arrived, so he sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "The Western Turkic Labor Division has come from afar, but we are waiting for work, if you are the commander of the Western Turks, will you be careful of the enemy's night attack?" ”
"Yes, Brigade Xue is right, the old man is not in favor of night attacks, after all, the vision of the soldiers at night is limited, if they are ambushed by the other party, I am afraid that even withdrawing will be a problem, our number is only thirty percent of the enemy, we should try to avoid such unnecessary losses."
Bai Wenmo has done a good job in the past few days, and the general's grain, grass, ordnance, and military discipline are well organized, and he has basically been recognized by everyone, so his words have some weight.
"Well, let them live one more night." Yu Chi Baolin sat down in his place and said with a little disappointment.
"Chief, let's confirm tomorrow's mission." The degree of confusion is still wilted, and the voice of the voice seems to be weak.
But don't look at this thing and look cowardly, but when it comes to killing, the 'Fangs' brigade has not killed as much as the second cavalry team he led in the past year and a half.
"Okay, let's confirm." Xue Rengui's gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the tent again, and he said with a deep sigh: "Tomorrow, the first cavalry team will be the Chinese army!" ”
"Whoa!" Although Xue Rengui had already said it once just now, Tuoba Mumi still didn't dare to slack off, and got up from his seat to accept the order in a deep voice.
"The Third Cavalry Brigade is relatively numerous, divided into two, Dong Jiansen and Gayam each bring a team of 3,000 people for the two wings!"
"Whoa! Here! Dong Jianlin and Gayam each got up to receive their orders.
"The Second Cavalry is the rear army, and it is important to keep an eye on the movements of those idle horse thieves, if there is any objection...... Tu fan, you should know what to do! ”
"Whoa!" Tumidu sat up from his own seat, with a strange and inexplicable smile on his face, looking very hideous.
"General Tumidu, you also need to pay attention to the movements in Gaochang City, and you must ensure that our army will not be attacked by the enemy." Bai Wenmo was uncomfortable with this guy's laughter, but he still dutifully supplemented his task.
"Don't worry, if they dare to move, I guarantee that none of them will be able to go back!" The crimson tongue gently ****ed the lips, and the spit revealed the opposite of the wilting state just now.
Xue Rengui gave Bai Wenmo a reassuring look, signaling that he was trustworthy, and then looked at Wei Chi Baolin, who was like a black iron tower: "Baolin, lead the sixth squadron of 'Fangs', hide on the right side of the battlefield, just wait for the Western Turkic formation to be chaotic and immediately launch a surprise attack on the enemy's right rear!" ”
"Whoa!"
"Gao Zhan, lead the first squadron of 'Fangs', hide on the left side of the battlefield, and after the enemy formation is scattered, launch a surprise attack on the left rear of the enemy formation!"
"Whoa!"
"Pei Xingjian......, since the Lord has arranged for you to come to observe, you will be in charge of the 'Fang' Seventh Squadron, remember to protect those students, and after the projection mission is completed, immediately retreat into the Second Cavalry Brigade!"
“…… Here! Pei Xingjian, who was only twelve years old, looked depressed, but considering his small size, it seemed that he really couldn't go to the battlefield, so he could only reluctantly agree.
"Who else isn't clear about their mission?" After arranging everyone, Xue Rengui asked again.
After no one answered for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Since there is no doubt, I will act according to the order tomorrow, no matter who has a problem, military law will do it!" ”
"Whoa!" In the uniform response, the layout of the battle formation for the next day was determined.
After everyone was ordered to go out to greet their team and arrange tomorrow's battle formation, Bai Wenmo asked with some apprehension: "Rengui, are you really sure of tomorrow?" ”
Xue Rengui also put away the serious expression he had just put away at this time, shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my Mr. Bai, these guys of the Western Turks are by no means as difficult as you think, compared to the Jieli of the ****** Khanate, these Western Turk barbarians are like children." ”
