Chapter 129: The Battle of Zhuolu (3)
(PS: 100 subscription plus more)
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.
Ouyang Shuo was judged to be the representative of the Yellow Emperor's camp, which was undoubtedly a major benefit to the Shanhai Alliance. On the contrary, for the Handan League led by Emperor Chen, it was tantamount to a bolt from the blue. The two factions, which were originally evenly matched, were judged in an instant.
At the time of the registration point, some lord players, after seeing that the phoenix prisoner represented Luofeng Town to join the camp of the Mountain and Sea Alliance, had already begun to try to contact Ouyang Shuo and wanted to join the camp of the Mountain and Sea Alliance.
As soon as the battle announcement came out, some lord players who had not yet dispersed became more eager. They didn't care whether Ouyang Shuo agreed or not, and directly took their own troops and followed behind the large forces of the Shanhai Alliance.
For these players, Ouyang Shuo didn't want to refuse them all. If you want to win this battle, you can't rely on the strength of the Shanhai Alliance alone. If you can unite the players of your own camp around you, then it will undoubtedly increase your chances of winning.
Of course, things weren't going to go as smoothly as he thought. First of all, the Handan League represented by Emperor Chen will never cooperate with Ouyang Shuo. In addition, in the past half a year, in addition to operating their own territory, Emperor Chen and others have also begun to try to infiltrate other territories. Therefore, in the Yellow Emperor's camp, there are still some of Emperor Chen's sworn friends or alliances of interests, and they will not easily take refuge in Ouyang Shuo's side.
Secondly, in general, lord players are more egotistical. Many of them are either heirs of large and medium-sized forces, and in reality they belong to the Gongzi faction, and it is difficult to obey the leadership of others; Either that, or the top pros who have reached the pinnacle of their achievements in Adventure Mode and have switched to Territory Management Mode, there is no shortage of unruly players.
So, it's almost impossible to unite all the players in the same faction. Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to have such an extravagant hope, in his plan, he could gather a force of five thousand people, even if it was successful.
Therefore, for these players who took the initiative to show goodwill, Ouyang Shuo did not refuse. Of course, before finding out their details, Ouyang Shuo would not rashly agree to them to join his camp.
Ouyang Shuo said that after finding a suitable place to set up a camp and settling down, he would discuss cooperation with everyone. So, a group of people walked out of the Yellow Emperor City. For the first time, the wild scene is truly displayed in front of the player, and it is impossible not to be shocked.
It's summer, the most vibrant season of the year. In the endless field, trees are thick, thorns are everywhere, and wild grasses are abundant. Those unknown weeds are enough to cover the knees of adults. A monsoon breeze blows, setting off waves of green. In the undulating grass with the wind, all kinds of beasts roared in unison, tigers, leopards, jackals, and countless wolves, which was extremely dangerous.
Seeing such a scene, Ouyang Shuo naturally didn't dare to go far. He instructed Lin Yi to lead a cavalry squadron, together with the detailed work of the Military Intelligence Department, to find a suitable place to camp near the Yellow Emperor City.
In ancient times, marching and fighting, camping was very particular, and it was not allowed to be sloppy. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a cloud: Where the army is high and evil, Guiyang is lowly and yin, healthy and practical, and the army has no diseases, it is said to win.
That is to say, the Dafan garrison always preferred dry highlands and avoided damp depressions; Pay attention to the sunny place and avoid the dark place; Close to the water and grass area, the military supply is sufficient, and the soldiers are not sick, so there is a guarantee of victory.
In addition, try to avoid jungles or rivers. Considering that the Chi You camp was attacking from the southeast to the northwest, Ouyang Shuo deliberately explained that he chose to find a suitable location in the west of the Yellow Emperor City as much as possible. In this way, it can not only avoid being used as cannon fodder in the event of a frontal conflict, but also serve as the flank of the Yellow Emperor City and quickly rush to the battlefield.
An hour later, Lin Yi and his party turned back.
Lin Yi quickly dismounted and said, "Report to your lordship, we found a hillside in the west of the Yellow Emperor City. About five kilometers south of the hillside, there is a large river. The tributaries of the great river are located close to the slopes of the mountains and have easy access to water. The Admiral decided that this was the right place to camp. ”
Ouyang Shuo nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, all of them, let's go!" ”
As soon as the team arrived at camp, they immediately began to get busy.
First, they had to cut down or burn all the annoying weeds to make a clearing large enough. Second, get the nearby woods, cut down the trees, and set up a camp.
In order to ensure the security of the garrison, a temporary wooden wall was to be erected around the barracks. The production method is to cut two rows of tree trunks first, one row long and one row short, bury half of the trunk into the soil after scorching the bottom, arrange the long trunks into a tight row outside, and arrange the short trunks in a row inside, and then set up a wooden board between the two rows of trunks, divided into two layers, so that the part of the long trunk becomes a parapet, the upper layer of the wooden board can be used by soldiers to patrol and sentry, and the lower layer can store defensive weapons and let soldiers rest.
When camping, a team of 50 people should be set up, and everyone's tents should be faced by two, and drainage ditches should be dug around the tents and between the camps. It is strictly forbidden for soldiers to wander between the camps, and tents are not allowed to run around in the camps. When digging a public toilet in each barracks, it should be far away from the water source and the place where the grain is stored, and at the same time, it should be a certain distance from the barracks, but not too far, so that the officers and men who go to the toilet will not be able to return to the team in time. There is also plenty of room in the camps for training and military movements.
It was close to noon that the camp was cleared. While the troops were still cutting down trees and digging ditches, Ouyang Shuo asked Wang Feng to take an infantry squad and follow him.
In the middle of the camp, Ouyang Shuo took out the camp tent he had purchased before, and asked the soldiers to help set up the camp first, so that everyone could concentrate on the discussion. Otherwise, it's not like it's going to be messing around.
Compared to the marching tent, the camping tent was five times its size, a bit like the tooth tent of a nomadic tribe, and could accommodate twenty or thirty people, which was not a problem at all, or else, it would not be worthy of its high price.
After setting up the tent, Ouyang Shuo then took out the specially customized chair bench from the carpentry workshop, and a simple command headquarters was set up.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo magically taking out items from the storage bag and following him like a curious baby, Mulan Yue opened her eyes wide and said in surprise: "Ah, Brother Wuyi, why is your storage bag so big and able to hold so many things." ”
Ouyang Shuo explained with a smile: "My storage bag has been expanded to 1,000 cubic meters, of course it is big. Ouyang Shuo didn't want to dwell on this issue, and hurriedly said: "Okay, the tent is also arranged, let's go and call the others over and discuss together, what to do next." ”
"Yes!" Mulan Yue nodded cutely.
……
In the camp tent, Ouyang Shuo sat in the middle. On the left and right sides sat the phoenix, the white birch, the magnolia moon and the siege lion. Behind the four sat their respective deputies.
"Now that we've settled down, what's your next step?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
How shrewd the phoenix is, everyone here, she alone does not belong to the Shanhai Alliance. Presumably, there had been negotiations within the Shanhai Alliance before, so what Wuyi actually asked was what Luofeng Town's plans were.
The phoenix prisoner bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "What are the plans of the unclothed lord, don't you say it directly." Since we in Luofeng Town have joined your camp, it means that we are fully obedient to the arrangement of the unclothed lord. ”
Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly and said, "The Phoenix Prisoner Lord is really refreshing, then I'll say it directly." ”
"Poof!" Mulan Yue, the girl, suddenly laughed, and when she saw everyone's puzzled eyes, she said with a little embarrassment: "I heard Brother Wuyi and Sister Phoenix, so the lord came to the lord, and the call was interesting." ”
The phoenix prisoner suddenly said to Ouyang Shuo with a smile: "That's true, let's get rid of these honorific titles." The little sister's real name is Feng Wu, and the brother without clothes should not see the outside. ”
Ouyang Shuo nodded and continued: "In order to facilitate command, my opinion is to integrate the troops of our five families and command them in a unified manner. Specifically, the troops were divided into three categories: cavalry, sword and shield soldiers, and crossbowmen. I suggest that General Zhang Liao be the chief general of the cavalry, and Lin Yi and Hongying should be the deputy generals. General Shi Wansui served as the chief general of the sword and shield soldiers, and the siege lion and Wang Feng served as the deputy generals. General Mu Guiying served as the chief general of the crossbow soldiers, and Zhao Sihu and Di Qiu served as deputy generals. Fu Zhi served as a military advisor, and Tsing Yi and Qing Luan served as deputies. ”
The reorganization plan proposed by Ouyang Shuo has taken care of all aspects. It not only ensures the core position of Shanhai Town, but also takes care of the interests of all allies. Of course, the premise of everything is meritocracy.
In terms of cavalry, the main ones are the troops of Shanhai Town and Lingxi Town, and the arrangement of one main and two deputies ensures the smooth command of the troops, and the soldiers below are relatively easy to accept.
In terms of sword and shield soldiers, Shi Wansui has absolute authority, and at the same time, he also takes care of the interests of the siege lion on the weaker side, and arranges for him to serve as a deputy general and command one of his own sword and shield soldier squadrons.
Finally, there are the crossbowmen, and the five hundred crossbowmen in Shanhai Town are the absolute main force. However, Ouyang Shuo took the initiative to give up the dominance of the crossbowmen and handed it over to Mu Guiying. This arrangement is the full trust in this female general, and she is indeed more suitable than Zhao Sihu to be the main general. Since the other two hundred archers were Luofeng Town's troops, Ouyang Shuo arranged for Di Qiu of Luofeng Town to serve as a deputy general.
In this, it may be that Luofeng Town has suffered a little. There were 500 empty troops, but because of the lack of famous generals, they could only give up the dominance of the troops. This was also the reason why Ouyang Shuo hesitated before, and it wasn't until Phoenix Prisoner made a clear statement that he revealed his reorganization plan and inventory. (To be continued.) )
