Chapter 776: Step by step
[PS: Don't blame the belated supplement! ] 】
For the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, the scene in front of them is probably unforgettable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Right in front of their eyes, one by one the dead comrades-in-arms appeared on the school field alive again, and this kind of mood is difficult for people who are not in the army, I am afraid it is difficult to understand.
The fallen Praetorian Guard has been magically resurrected again!
"You're back, comrade!"
The soldiers on the school field couldn't control their emotions and hugged each other.
Many of these comrades-in-arms who "came back from the dead" died in battle while covering their evacuation, and seeing them again, the guilt of the officers and men of the Fifth Division was finally slightly relieved.
I am even more grateful to the gentleman who single-handedly contributed to this matter.
Unfortunately, the four high-ranking aboriginal generals of Shi Hu, Thunder Shock, Mountain Pillar and Stone Leopard are not in this resurrection sequence. Ouyang Shuo had no way of knowing that these four young generals had already been righteous, or were unfortunately captured.
Ouyang Shuo hoped that they had been captured.
In that case, there is at least hope of returning to the team. If he was killed, Ouyang Shuo would be powerless. Ma Teng, as a historical general, Ouyang Shuo can receive system prompts when he dies.
Shi Hu and the three of them have not heard from each other.
Hosaku, who is lurking in Eiin Castle, is moving around to confirm their fate and death.
…………
After the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard calmed down, Ouyang Shuo announced several temporary appointments on the spot, appointing Lu Bu as the division commander of the First Division of the First Army of the Praetorian Guard.
At the same time, the deputy division commander of the second and third divisions temporarily assumed the post of division commander. Since the deputy division commander of the Fourth Division was Shi Leopard, Ouyang Shuo could only designate a brigade commander to temporarily act as the division commander.
It is expedient that there must be no generals in the army.
As for the shortage of 15,000 captured soldiers, Ouyang Shuo did not transfer personnel from the independent divisions of the Praetorian Guard to replenish them.
This position is still reserved for them.
Ouyang Shuo believed that even with a loss of fifteen thousand men, the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard was a powerful army, enough to go head-to-head with any legion.
Especially after this change, the soldiers are even more motivated.
After adjusting the personnel arrangement, Ouyang Shuo was about to get up and leave the barracks, but was stopped by Huo Quai.
Seeing that the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard had been resurrected, Huo Qubing immediately asked for battle, "Your Excellency, the last general is confident that he will recapture Dongchuan County within five days, and I also ask your lord to agree." ”
"Nope." Ouyang Shuo shook his head decisively.
"Your Majesty?!"
Huo Quzhi was a little confused, and there was even more grievance in his eyes, he thought that the king no longer trusted the Praetorian Guard, and no longer trusted him, the commander of the Praetorian Guard.
"Talking here." Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo turned around and left the school grounds, and came to a corner of the barracks, and the accompanying guards immediately scattered in all directions, guarding the four directions, and strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching.
Ouyang Shuo explained with a smile: "It's not that I don't believe you. Think about it, in the eyes of the enemy, the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard is no longer in the combat sequence. You are now a force of wonder that can kill the enemy at a critical moment. As for just Dongchuan County, what is it?! Swordsman City wants to occupy it, so let them occupy it. As long as we win the main battlefield, it will not be a matter of minutes to recover Dongchuan County. ”
The Janissaries' ten-day campaign was not useless. One annihilated the local garrison, and the other destroyed all teleportation arrays except for Yongin Castle.
In this way, if the enemy wants to do anything in Dongchuan County, I am afraid that it will not work.
If you don't move Dongchuan County now, one is to avoid startling the snake, lest the Swordsman City increase the troops of Dongchuan County and threaten the safety of Kunming County; The second can also paralyze the allies and the [Yunnan city-state] and make them relax their vigilance.
It is precisely in this way that Ouyang Shuo will focus on Mengding County and Tengyue County. As long as Bai Qi's "black chess" plan can be implemented smoothly, Shanhai City will have a great chance of winning.
The newly resurrected First Legion of the Praetorian Guard occupies an important position in the "Black Chess" plan. Ouyang Shuo briefly told Huo Qubing about the "black chess" plan, and the more Huo Qubing listened, the brighter his eyes became.
In the end, his eyes were already bursting with debut essence.
Huo Quzhi took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said with his fists clenched: "The last general understands, everything is arranged by the command." There was a killing intent in their eyes, and the target was the allies and coalition forces who had cheated them.
The next time we meet, we will have to settle an account.
Seeing that Huo Qu's illness understood, Ouyang Shuo was relieved, and finally instructed: "The soldiers of the First Legion, after all, they have just experienced such a drastic change, and I am afraid that they are still a little uncomfortable for a while. You, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, can stay in the barracks during this time and help the soldiers to adjust. Remember, meet the most difficult combat missions in the best fighting condition. The best steel, of course, should be used at the most critical moments. ”
"No!"
Huo Quzhi solemnly gave a military salute.
Through this incident, Huo Quzhi suddenly found that he was closer to the monarch, and he actually had a feeling in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his heart.
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, turned around and left.
************
Tengyue County, Tengchong City.
Emperor Chen, Chun Shenjun and other members of the [Yanhuang League], the lords of the [Yunnan] city-state represented by Qin Feng, and generals such as Wu Qi, Tian Dan, Lian Po and Zhang Xutuo gathered together.
The purpose of this is to discuss the next step in the military action plan.
The success of the ambush in Yongren City was undoubtedly exciting, and even Di Chen and the others were a little excited. It was just the words of Wu Qi, the commander of the allied forces, but it poured cold water on everyone present.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we can't rejoice too soon. The main force of the Shanhai City army is still intact, and the balance between attack and defense between the enemy and us has not been broken. Shanhai City has suffered a dark loss, and it will become more and more cautious. A lion is already difficult to deal with, and a cautious lion is even more of a headache. ”
Therefore, the success of the next round of plans is the key to this battle. The Battle of Yongin City only opened the prelude to the war, and it was not a foundation for the overall war. If you want to win the big war, you have to be prepared to pay a greater price. Otherwise, you may be overturned by the enemy at any time. ”
When Wu Qi said "pay the price", the expressions of several people in the hall were a little strange. They are the lords of Dongchuan County, and they are now the commanders of the light pole.
Although the city-state and the [Yanhuang Alliance] had already made a promise before the war that they would give them appropriate compensation. But the premise of all reparation is victory in the war.
Don't look at the fierceness of the major media, and keep singing about Shanhai City. They themselves know how powerful Shanhai City really is. As Wu Qi said, the loss of one Praetorian Guard regiment was not enough to turn the tide of the war.
In Wu Qi's words, we have to be prepared for greater sacrifices.
As for who to sacrifice?
Several former lords of Dongchuan County turned their gaze to the lords of Mengding County, which was meaningful.
When the [Yunnan City-State] negotiated with the [Yanhuang League], it was already mentally prepared. Even with the help of the [Yanhuang Alliance], it is impossible for the city-state to want the army of Shanhai City to retreat under the iron hooves.
The only question is at what cost and at whose expense.
As the first lord of the city-state, Qin Feng obviously played a trick on this matter, and he was afraid that he had secretly formed a tacit understanding with Di Chen and the others. Otherwise, the Allied and Allied forces would not have teleported to Tengchong City.
After all, Mengding County is the main battlefield preset by both sides.
Obviously, in this matter, Qin Feng's mind changed.
When several lords of Mengding County saw this, their expressions became a little ugly, and the eyes of some lords were already wandering. They knew what the greater price in Wu Qi's mouth meant.
After Dongchuan County, Mengding County is afraid that it will become the next victim.
[Yanhuang League] But with a good calculation, Dongchuan County was messed up by Shanhai City, but it allowed Swordsman City to pick up a ready-made bargain.
I just don't know what tricks they are going to play in Mengding County.
It's just that no matter what the trick is, it won't be good news for the lords of Mengding County.
Sure enough, when Wu Qi revealed the battle plan and discernment, the faces of several lords of Mengding County immediately turned pale, like a group of poor insects, abandoned by the team and thrown into the wilderness.
In the closed meeting hall, a cold wind blew for no reason, and it was cold.
************
The following week, the battlefield in Yunnan looked a little dull.
The progress of the Left Route Army led by Bai Qi was not smooth, not to mention that the main forces of the allied and allied forces were concentrated in Tengyue County, and they did not completely give up on Mengding County.
In addition to the local garrison, there were also coalition troops to reinforce each city.
What's even more odious is that according to the battle plan formulated by Wu Qi, each territory will gather all the armed forces of the main city and the affiliated cities before the arrival of Bai Qi's army, and unify and reorganize.
This armed force includes not only the defenders of the territory, but also the local troops, and even the guards recruited by the government officials, chambers of commerce, families, etc., the students of the martial arts, the wandering swordsmen of the territory, and so on.
In Wu Qi's words, if anyone has the strength to fight, no one can let go.
Not only that, but the territory also issued a temporary recruitment order, gathering the young and middle-aged people of the entire territory, distributing weapons and equipment to them, and forming a militia team.
Other laborers were also requisitioned to assist the army in defending the city.
To summarize Wu Qi's plan in one sentence, it is "all the people are soldiers and fight to the end".
It's terrifying.
Every time the Left Army captured a city, it had to take great pains. Each time, the enemy took advantage of the convenience of defending the city to effectively kill the left army as much as possible.
That posture is really infiltrating.
In addition to frontal attacks, there were also a large number of guerrillas who rioted against the grain convoys, which was really miserable.
Fighting all the way, the Left Route Army suffered heavy losses.
In desperation, Bai Qi could only transfer the Third Army of the Leopard Tao Army, which was a reserve force, to the front line for reinforcements. In this way, the speed of the attack can be regarded as slightly accelerated.
Even so, progress has been far less than expected, and there have been heavy casualties. In one week, the Left Route Army lost more than 30,000 soldiers. In this way, only a small half of Mengding County was taken.
And the time has pointed to Gaia for four years.
