"My lord, if you can, your subordinates are willing to give it a try. ”

Seeing that everyone was indifferent, Yuan Ye stepped forward, and his sonorous and powerful voice also echoed back and forth in this hall.

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you really willing?"

She naturally knew that Yuan Ye had joined the Red Phoenix Army since Taiyuan, and reported the news of Shi Tianze's attack to everyone in time during the first battle.

And in the long march that followed, he also grew up quickly and began to be able to take charge on his own.

After 20 years of training, he has now changed from the hairy boy at the beginning to the seven-foot man who can be trusted today.

With a smile on his face, Yuan Ye replied with confidence: "Although this trip is dangerous, what are the difficulties compared with the Long March in the past? Please rest assured, I will naturally arrive smoothly, capture Deshun Prefecture and Zhenrong Prefecture, and cut off Mongolian logistics!"

"In that case, do you know that this is a long journey, not to mention, and in order to prevent detection by the enemy, logistics cannot be fully guaranteed as in the interior, so they can only be requisitioned on the spot. Are you sure you really want to take on this task?"

Although Xiao Feng was pleased, thinking of the crisis encountered on the way, he was also afraid that Yuan Ye and the others would fall into it and be wiped out.

Yuan Ye's eyes converged, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "What the lord said, I naturally understand. But I expected that the Mongols were very exploited, and that the people of the land had suffered for a long time. With their help, I think we would be able to succeed!"

Although it was extremely powerful, Xiao Feng heard a little bit of unconfidence in the other party's heart, and obviously knew the risks of this matter.

Xiao Feng was silent, and asked again: "In that case, when are you going to leave? If there is anything you need, I can meet it!"

This time, it will take at least half a year, and half a year will be spent on the expedition abroad, so it is natural to be fully prepared.

"Enlighten the lord!"

Yuan Ye said: "This march, because the road is long, too many people are not good, only seven thousand subordinates are enough!"

"Seven thousand, that's too little!"

When the rest of the people heard this, they all frowned.

If it is an ordinary county seat, at best, there are three or five hundred people, and they are all ordinary people such as miscellaneous servants and fast catchers.

But if it is a state, it can be as little as 1,000 or more than 10,000, just like Deshun Prefecture and Zhenrong Prefecture in this kind of state governance, I am afraid that the army is not less than 3,000, otherwise it will definitely not be able to maintain the rule.

Xiao Feng also frowned and asked, "Is this bit of a horse enough?"

If there are too many people, it will put pressure on the logistics and make it difficult to get supplies from the local area. ”

Yuan Ye explained loudly: "Just to facilitate the march, these 7,000 people must be cavalry! Because only in this way can I have enough mobility to avoid the other party's search!"

"Seven thousand cavalry, of course!" Xiao Feng thought about it and immediately responded.

The most powerful thing in Mongolia is cavalry, if you send infantry deep into the heartland, it is naturally difficult to avoid the opponent's search and capture with the mobility of infantry alone, and only the same cavalry can fight against it.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Feng instructed again: "And along the way, heavy artillery such as the Capture Cannon will not be able to be carried." To make sure you have enough firepower, I'll give you another thousand Godbreakers. ”

Obtained the Quanzhen Sect's Tiangang arrow refining method, and used gunpowder technology to increase its power, after years of improvement, this god-breaking crossbow has also improved significantly.

Within three miles, it can be reached in an instant, and it is difficult to resist ten inches of iron plate.

With these thousands of god-breaking crossbows, even if they encounter earth immortals, they also have a certain defensive ability.

Yuan Ye was overjoyed, and replied: "The subordinates will definitely live up to their mission, and they will definitely capture Deshun Prefecture and Zhenrong Prefecture, and completely encircle and annihilate the Mongolian army!"

The sonorous words also made everyone stand up and send their blessings to Yuan Ye with respect.

"I wish you all the best and prosperity!"

Yuan Ye accepted it calmly, and also obeyed Xiao Feng's order, leaving Xinping and returning to Chang'an.

And there, Xiao Jingmao also began to transfer men and horses to form the 301st Consolidated Cavalry Division responsible for the attack, but due to the scarcity of personnel, insufficient horses and other reasons, it would take at least half a month to complete the formation of the entire army.

And during this time, Yuan Ye was not idle, he began to look for people everywhere.

No, today Yuan Ye directly knocked on Zhou Cheng's door.

"Who are you?"

Opening the door, Zhou Cheng looked confused, his eyes swept over the other party's shoulder, and he was stunned when he saw a gold star inlaid on it.

In the Red Phoenix Army, wearing this thing means that the other party should be an officer at the level of a major general.

Why did a general come to the door today?

Zhou Cheng was puzzled, so he listened to Yuan Ye's explanation.

"My name is Yuan Ye, as you can see, I am a major general of the Red Phoenix Army. I'm here today to ask if you'd like to join my troops?"

"Troops, why do you want me to join?"

Zhou Cheng was even more puzzled, he didn't know why the person in front of him appeared here.

Yuan Ye smiled: "It's very simple. Because you are familiar with the internal situation in Mongolia, and I heard that you spent some time in Deshun Prefecture when you were a child because of some changes?

"That's right, then what are you looking for me for?" Zhou Cheng nodded, even more puzzled.

Yuan Ye replied: "Of course you can, but are you sure you want to listen?"

"Look at you, don't you know that after you know, you will be killed?" Zhou Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, with a little displeasure.

"It's not enough to extinguish the mouth, but the mission I am carrying out is confidential, if it is known, I am afraid that we will all die without a place to bury, and I am afraid that the Northern Expedition will also be greatly delayed, so that our army will lose more soldiers!" Yuan Ye's whole expression looked very serious.

After Zhou Cheng saw it, he also felt nervous, exhaled a breath, and asked back, "So serious?"

"Of course!" Yuan Ye nodded solemnly and replied, "Then tell me, do you still want to hear it?"

Zhou Cheng's eyes showed a hint of hatred, his fists clenched slightly, but he seemed to return to the original time.

His father, who was caught by those Tartars and completely killed under severe torture, could not do anything but watch all this happen.

Father, no matter what the cost, I will avenge you!

Zhou Cheng silently made up his mind in his heart, then raised his head, his eyes were already firm, and he nodded and replied: "Of course! As long as it is related to the fight against the Tartars, I am willing!"

"Good. ”

Yuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief, he had investigated Zhou Cheng's information before he came, otherwise how could he come over in person?

Seeing that the other party responded, Zhou Cheng said again: "You also know that we are now facing off against the Mongolian army in Pingliangfu. It's a pity that because the other side is stubbornly defending by virtue of the terrain, the war has not progressed for a long time. In order to change the whole situation, the Lord has ordered us to set out from Fengxiang Mansion and bypass the Mongol army to attack Deshun Prefecture behind the enemy, and you are very familiar with it, so we need your help!"

"Attack Deshun Prefecture? It's not close there! I didn't expect you to imitate the Mongols and play such a big roundabout tactic. But if Deshun Prefecture is captured, and even Zhenrong Prefecture is defeated, then the opponent's logistics will naturally have no ability to resist. ”

Zhou Cheng thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt a little familiar.

The Mongols used this tactic when they attacked the Western Xia, the Jin Dynasty and even the Southern Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect that today's Chifengjun also relied on the gourd to draw a scoop, and he also came to such a trick against Mongolia.

Yuan Ye smiled and said, "Although this plan is quite risky, if it can be successful, it will be enough to kill Mongolia." So you're going to say no?"

"Of course not. This time, I must fight back and let the Tartars understand that I am not easy to mess with. ”

Zhou Chenglang replied, a pair of sharp eyes were filled with the flame of revenge.
