The Chifeng Army is in the ascendant, and outside of Jinghai, there has already been an army assembled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, it is the early hours of the morning, there are only sporadic lights left in the sky, and the endless colorful glow is gradually rising at the end of the east, which is the beginning of the day.

The gentle sunlight sprinkled on the world, and the Gu fell on the war horses, which made the pitch-black armor shine incomparably, adding a bit of solemn aura; reflected on the resolute faces, but also made this strong army from the northern grassland, exuding a sharp aura; even the weapons they carried were under this dazzling brilliance, with the aura of autumn, and everything was full of dripping murderous aura, reaching straight into the sky.

Kublai Khan looked down on his army, and only felt that his chest was full of pride and ambition to rule the world.

He knew that these armies in front of him only needed to be under his own orders, and they could be like a sharp blade, destroying everything that stood in his way, leaving nothing behind.

What the soldiers pointed to, all the people submitted.

In these troubled times, the army is the truth.

At this time, Kublai Khan has worked hard and hard, and the army he pulled out under his autonomy is the most fundamental foundation for him to rule the world in the future, and only by grasping the army can he realize his ambitions when he was young, and let him rise to the top of the supreme position.

It is for this reason that Kublai Khan understood the importance of today's war.

He must win, only on the basis of destroying the Red Phoenix Army, can his ability be determined, his position can be secured, his rule can be stable, and only in this way can he attract others to be included in the meeting for his use.

Everything is built on this day.

Kublai Khan knew that this battle was his key battle, and he couldn't help but feel impressed, just because this time his opponent was different from his usual opponent.

The leader of the Red Phoenix Army is not only a woman, but also has a very amazing strength, and the Red Phoenix Army created by him has clashed with the strong several times since the uprising and defeated the other party, so it is close to a myth, and it is difficult for ordinary troops to resist.

"Will I be able to defeat the other party?" Kublai Khan thought to himself, pulling out his scimitar from his waist with a "sonorous" sound, and slashing at the sky diagonally, shouting: "Go!"

As soon as the words fell, thousands of horses galloped, like the surging sea, Gu was rushing towards the Red Phoenix Army.

This movement has long been discovered and spread to everyone in the army.

Xiao Feng suddenly became nervous: "It seems that the other party really plans to start acting." Although she was still a few miles away from the main tent, she could already faintly feel the vibration from beneath the ground under her feet.

This shook the earth, and it also shook the entire Red Phoenix Army.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, go check it out?"

“......”

Some soldiers came out in disheveled clothes, their eyes were still dazed, they looked outside the camp but did not see any movement, here is still a few miles away from the Mongol army, they can not see each other's figures, but from the vibration sound from under the ground, you can feel the more and more intense vibration in the distance, as if some ancient beast is about to rush towards this side.

At this moment, the Chinese Religious Priests represented by Li Qi, Ren Zhi, Liu Tianfu and others also came out and gave orders to the soldiers in front of them.

"All of them put on their armor at once, and there must be no mistake. ”

Even though some people were frightened by this situation, they also settled down under their comfort, packed up all the armor, weapons, and belongings they had, and began to form a military formation one by one, waiting to meet the attack of the other party.

The Mongolian cavalry was so powerful that there was no grass everywhere they went, but the elite firearms of the Red Phoenix were also of the first-class level.

Now, when the two powers compete, it is the time to decide the winner.

Sure enough, after waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, a cavalry had already emerged from the far edge of the steppe.

The familiar red tassel on his helmet, as well as a powerful compound bow straddling his shoulders, and a cylindrical iron rod in his hand, should have been developed by the Mongolian imitation gun, which can be equipped in the army, and its power is naturally needless to say.

With the movement of the four hooves, the figure of the Mongolian cavalry completely appeared in everyone's eyes, and the war horse under his crotch continued to gallop, and he began to pick up the weapon in his hand, waiting to get close to everyone, and smashed the extremely hard mace on the opponent's head.

Immediately after that, another Mongol cavalry appeared, two, three...... Until the entire steppe was occupied by this dense crowd of soldiers.

Endless, covering the sky and the sun, such a formation made Kublai Khan's heart happy, and the knot that was once depressed in it also disappeared, and now he only needs to kill Xiao Feng, then he can use this name to shock the world, and when the time comes, the hundred officials will surrender, and the whole world can be controlled in the palm of his hand.

Thinking of this, Kublai Khan couldn't help but laugh and raised his head to look at the place where the Red Phoenix Army was located from afar.

I saw that at this time, in front of the Red Phoenix Army's formation, a series of criss-crossing trenches had already taken shape.

The trenches weren't very deep, just to the chest of a man, but they were large enough for one person to crouch in them, and in a circle around the barracks, enough to encircle everyone. From the inside out, there were about three such trenches. Since being stationed in Jinghai, the General Staff has been mobilizing men and horses to dig trenches to ensure the stability of the main position.

However, since they came here, they have only passed less than three or four days, and they are far from being as strong as when Taiyuan City was in the past.

"Is this the trench built by the Red Phoenix Army?"

Kublai Khan looked at the continuous trenches, and his brows were already furrowed.

Yang Weizhong stared into the distance, and the figure in the trench was longing, obviously someone had already entered it.

He was a little nervous and whispered back, "That's right. This is the trench. ”

"Sure enough. The one who knows himself best is the enemy. This red thief is also excited, and actually came up with such a method. Kublai Khan couldn't help but clench the reins in his hand, obviously disgusted by the Red Phoenix Army, especially full of hatred for that Xiao Feng.

This is not the first time he has seen such a formation, when he first appeared in Taiyuan City in the past, he made Shi Tianze, who has always been able to attack fortifications, be helpless and unable to advance an inch, and after several battles, this Red Phoenix Army has perfected the method of trenches a lot, and made up for the shortcomings of the past, and has also become a nightmare for the Mongolian cavalry that once dominated the world.

Even though the trench in front of him was only a temporary dig, it still made all the soldiers fearful.

Hiding in the trench means being able to dodge the cavalry's shots, and hiding under the ground is enough to avoid the charging cavalry, and the figure that goes deep into the trench is like a phantom, making it impossible to figure out the opponent's location at all.

It can be said that if the cavalry is caught in it, it will be completely crushed by attacks from all directions, and there is no possibility of escape.

It is precisely for this reason that all cavalry understand the truth that they must not break into the trenches, otherwise it will be difficult to walk.

Since Kublai Khan knew this, he naturally did not intend to order the cavalry to charge and do such a futile act, so he asked Yang Weizhong beside him: "In this case, then according to what Mr. said, how should we act?"

"In my opinion. We can dig a trench around this quiet outer perimeter. In this way, the other party can be completely isolated, and the other party will be deprived of food and water, and then the other party will be forced to fall into the place of death. Yang Weizhong said loudly.

Kublai Khan felt a little annoyed and asked, "Can't you force your way forward?"

"Can't!" Yang Weizhong shook his head, his eyes full of determination.

Kublai Khan bit his lip and stared at Yang Weizhong for a long time before replying, "Okay then." Since you have decided to do it, do what you want. Then he waved his horsewhip and let the war horse under him carry him into the army, and the nine white silk was still drawing strength, and he still needed his support.

Yang Weizhong ignored all this, just looked at the distant Red Phoenix Army formation, and said secretly: "No matter how strong you are, but I swear here that I will completely exterminate you." lest you trouble the world again. ”

After several encounters, he also knew that with the combat effectiveness of the Red Phoenix Army, it would be difficult to defeat with only 50,000 horses under the command of Kublai Khan.

Even if it is defeated, it will be possible to pay at least half of the sacrifice, and such a sacrifice is not something they can bear, and certainly not something that any army in this era can bear, except for the Red Phoenix Army!

After all, the military system of the Red Phoenix Army is inherited from the modern army, through the day and night brainwashing and training of the Chinese Sect, Xiao Feng has established a basic concept of nationalism in the army, although there are still a small number of people with ill intentions, but the mastery of the low-level soldiers is far beyond the imagination of other warlords, it can be said that anyone who wants to rebel will immediately find themselves in a mud, and it is simply difficult to move an inch.

The establishment of the General Staff, which is the gathering of all the heroes among the generals, is enough to ensure that any action is carried out in accordance with the instructions.

The establishment of the Gendarmerie Department also serves to stabilize order in the military and ensure that order in the military can be maintained and not collapsed, even in any state.

Such an advantage was not comparable to that of Kublai Khan's old-fashioned army, which simply gathered his men and organized them on the basis of charisma.

In the Red Phoenix Army, Xiao Feng can continue to operate even if he leaves for a short time or even falls, but if Kublai Khan dies, then the soldiers under his command will fall and scatter, completely becoming a puddle of loose sand.

The gap between the two is like an abyss, and it is also the fundamental reason that determines who can survive the two armies.

Although he understood this, Xiao Feng also knew that if the crisis of being besieged in front of him was not lifted, the Red Feng Army might still end up at the end of the road after all.

So she came to the staff and asked everyone: "According to the current situation, what do you think should be done?"

"Tell my lord. According to the spies we sent, the main force of the other side is now stationed in Daeguzhuang, twenty miles away. Moreover, the other party also sent soldiers under his command, preparing to dig trenches around our Dafeng Duizhuang, intending to cut off our contact with the outside world. Among them, the main trunk line is the Tuanbo Depression in the east. Because this depression is where we get water, if it is cut off by the other party, then our water source will be completely cut off. Zhao Zhi pointed to the sand table in front of him, with sorrow on his face.

"On the other side, it starts from Degui Town and continues to Yanzhuang Town, the purpose of which is to block our contact with Yu Cheng and Yang Chan, who are lurking in Hejian Mansion, and obtain the food delivered from the other party. If he succeeds in his tricks, then our food and water routes will be completely cut off, and then we will be completely in crisis without food and water, and there will be no room for turnaround. ”

Xiao Feng asked, "Can't you stop it?"

"The opponent sent a large number of cavalry to patrol and defend, and its soldiers were all wearing heavy armor, which could resist gun fire from a distance of 100 paces, and they were equipped with many sharp weapons such as hand cannons, which were enough to ensure that they were invincible. With our current strength, it is really difficult to compete with the other side. Zhao Zhi shook his head and replied.

If the Mongol cavalry were to storm the battle formation, they would be able to defeat the other party, but if they were to fight on horseback in the plains, the Red Phoenix Army would be at a disadvantage.

What's more, since the advent of firearms such as guns, tiger squat cannons, and captives, not only the Red Phoenix Army has begun to conduct various targeted training for this point, but even the Mongolian army has begun to make many changes, such as removing chain mail, chain mail and other armor to prevent blades, and replacing it with plate armor that is more suitable for blocking bullets, thereby counteracting the Red Phoenix Army's firearms advantage.

Xiao Feng was slightly surprised, and secretly thought: "I didn't expect this Mongolia to be so clever, and actually began to adapt to the changes on the battlefield so quickly, and came up with this kind of heavy cavalry?"

Zhao Zhi explained: "According to our thinking, the most important thing now is to open up contact with the Central Plains, so as to ensure the physical strength of the soldiers. Therefore, it is best to send an army to break through the other party's siege, enter Wen'an or Dacheng, and then get in touch with Yu Cheng and them. In this way, with the help of Yu Cheng and others, they can use the strength of Yu Cheng and others to break the encirclement of the other party inside and outside. ”

"In that case, then do what you planned. After Xiao Feng listened, he nodded with satisfaction.

To be honest, she doesn't have more tactical experience than the few people in front of her, and even lacks it in some aspects, which is why when the army was first established, Xiao Feng insisted on setting up a staff department to give advice to herself.

Food, drinking water, including weather, terrain, equipment, morale, etc., in this medieval era of the transition from cold weapons to hot weapons, are all important factors that can affect the outcome of a war, and as a general, his only and most important means is to grasp all the factors, and then try to fight for all advantages for himself as much as possible, until he embarks on the road to the end.

And in the end, it can only be decided by heaven.
