"Is it over?"

The cavalry in front of him was already dead, and the soldiers who followed him slackened down and rested a little. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Qi only looked at the Mongolian cavalry standing in the distance, which was the Mongolian forward force, numbering in thousands, and it was not something that his squad of less than a hundred could fight against.

The reason why these people came here was to be the vanguard, to understand and determine the information of the other side first, not to fight. Therefore, Xiao Feng was not in a hurry, and did not launch a battle against these people, and then consumed his small number of troops.

At this moment, it is not yet time to start a fight.

Li Qi understood this, so he pulled the reins, turned around and ran towards the barracks: "No, this is just the beginning!"

Although all the Red Phoenix Army soldiers felt annoyed, they could only follow him back into the barracks, and the large number of Mongolian cavalry in the distance remained still motionless, just quietly watching the group leave.

"General, are we in pursuit?"

Some people can't stop and want to attack at this time and exterminate Li Qi's subordinates.

However, Li Bowen shook his head and replied: "No, with the strength of the soldiers under our command, if we want to defeat the other side, we will need three times the number of troops, and even so, because of the cavalry, we will not be able to completely wipe out the other side." A rash move will only consume our small number of troops, and it will also completely disrupt His Highness's arrangement. Pass my order, everyone guards the barracks, no matter how the other party provokes, they will not go out of battle. ”

He is the grandson of Li Shouxian, because Li Shouxian was killed when he exterminated the red thieves in the past, he was recruited by Kublai Khan in order to take revenge, and since then he has entered the army.

A martial artist is also brave, and he has seventy percent of the strength of his ancestors, and he can be regarded as a young hero.

At this moment, I can see the hatred in Annai's heart, and I can also see that this person has a good heart, and I am afraid that he will become a good general in the future.

After returning to the camp, Li Bowen saw that there was already a person in his military camp, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Liu Shun, when did you come in?"

"Just when you were fighting with Li Qi!" Liu Shun replied with a grin, and then was amazed: "Then again, you are too lax in this barracks, and you let me enter here easily." Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

Li Bowen glanced sideways slightly, and replied with a little anger and anger: "Then should I thank you for not killing?"

"Of course not. After all, I'm not here today for these things. Liu Shun put away his flirtatious expression and said quite seriously: "I'm here today just to ask you, when did you start acting?"

"Why do you ask this?" Li Bowen was neither salty nor light, but he stepped aside to make a pot of tea and began to sip it.

He had been standing in the sun all day, but he was so thirsty that he couldn't wait to rehydrate.

"You don't know?" Liu Shun was a little surprised, and immediately showed a little annoyance, snatched the cup in Li Bowen's hand, poured it into his mouth, and said: "That demon girl has begun to tighten up recently, and is thoroughly investigating who in the army has contact with you." Affected by this, many brothers did not dare to do so, lest the gun hit the first bird and become the object of the demon girl's anger. If you don't act, I'm afraid you won't have a chance again. ”

Li Bowen had no choice but to take another cup, pour another cup of tea, sit down cross-legged quite leisurely, and said with a smile: "Thorough investigation?

"A lot. Separation of the training system from non-commissioned officers and the gendarmerie review system. Recently, a non-commissioned officer academy was launched, saying that it was necessary to concentrate on training non-commissioned officers and improving the strength of every officer, and that everyone must be present. As soon as he said this, Liu Shun was angry.

When he was in the Mongolian army, although he was struggling to survive in the face of the Mongol bosses, when facing the soldiers below, he was always commanding and majestic.

Unexpectedly, after joining the Red Phoenix Army, everything was different.

The Red Phoenix Army didn't know what was going on, and what was implemented was the non-commissioned officer separation training system and the gendarmerie review system.

All the training of soldiers was handed over to those missionaries in accordance with the infantry drill code formulated by the General Staff, and they, as the peak of missionaries, could not interfere much with the missionaries, and could only quietly watch their once loyal and brave soldiers brainwashed by this group of missionaries and completely become loyal and brave soldiers of the Red Phoenix Army.

On the other hand, the appearance of the gendarmes made them feel even more uncomfortable.

Speaking of these gendarmes, their rank is not high, but they are directly subordinate to Xiao Feng's subordinates, and their person in charge is Xiao Yue, and even the staff and the Zhonghua Sect can't interfere in their behavior.

Their duty is to ensure that all soldiers in the army are in accordance with military discipline and military regulations, and there is no place to exceed them.

It is precisely for this reason that all those in the army are afraid of these gendarmes, lest one of them accidentally fall into the hands of the gendarmes and become a typical example of the gendarmes declaring their own discipline.

It is precisely because of this that the officers of the warlord style of the old era, represented by Shi Qi, Liu Shun and others, have always been dissatisfied with the Chifeng Army's suppression, thinking that they are specifically targeting themselves, and it seems that it has become a matter of course to have different intentions under high pressure.

Li Bowen listened carefully on the side, and poured tea into the teacup in Liu Shun's hand, and couldn't help sighing: "I thought that this demon girl was nothing more than that, but now it seems that she has the courage to dare to do such a thing." ”

Although Liu Shun, Shi Qi and others were dissatisfied, Li Bowen knew the superiority of these systems, the system of separating non-commissioned officers from training was enough to ensure that the non-commissioned officers were always in the upper echelons of the army, and the gendarmerie censorship system was enough to ensure the discipline of the non-commissioned officers themselves, and such a system of comparison between the top and bottom was enough to make any officer unable to move, and could not completely control the army, so that the so-called warlords would not have the soil to appear.

Of course, the implementation of such a system will only affect the combat effectiveness of its army, especially in the era of cold weapons.

However, with the Red Phoenix Army now generally equipped with firearms, these influences are not very important, and they are naturally enough to bear the consequences.

At least Li Bowen understood that even if the cowardly Xue army, which had the most prosperous Mongolian army, came here, in a one-to-one battle, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the Red Phoenix Army, and there was even a possibility of collapse.

There is no other reason, that is, firearms invented and used on a large scale by the Red Phoenix Army, which completely subverted the usual combat mode.

"Hmph!" Liu Shun didn't care, and snorted coldly: "That demon girl is happy, but we are unlucky." ”

Li Bowen narrowed his eyes slightly, but said: "Demon girl, although that woman is perverse, but after all, she is still the lord of your family, and the battle of Luzhou is even more benevolent and gives you a way out." Is it okay for you to arrange your father-in-law like this? Or are you not afraid of five thunderstorms in the sky?"

"Five thunders in the sky? Hmph, who believes it. ”

Liu Shun clapped his hands, and immediately made the teacup tremble, and several drops of orange tea splashed out, and he continued to scold: "The reason why our brothers joined the army is not for glory and wealth, otherwise who would do this murderous business? The demon girl is worried about the world and forces us to die." How can we endure this? If we don't do the opposite, I'm afraid that we won't have this opportunity in the future. After saying that, he looked at the sky again, and couldn't help but worry: "It seems that it is almost time for the school to start, so I will leave first." Otherwise, they will know that I have come here, and I am afraid that I will not be far from death. ”

After saying that, he had already become a virtual shadow and disappeared from the same place.

"Oh, then I'll wait for good news. ”

The corners of Li Bowen's mouth curled slightly, and he drank all the tea in the cup, and there was already anger rising in his dark eyes, waiting for the day when he could completely destroy the Red Phoenix Army.

............

"Lord Qi. It has now been established that the enemy's army has been spotted in Suning, fifty miles away from Lizhou. There are about 3,000 in number, and there has been no action yet. Walking into the main tent, Li Qi immediately bowed and replied.

In this main account, in addition to Xiao Feng, including Yu Wenwei, Zhao Zhi, Zhang Che, Sun Yi and other core personnel of the General Staff, all of them are concentrated here.

"Suning?" Xiao Feng put down the map in his hand and sighed: "It seems that our situation is very serious." ”

"It's grim, what does that mean?" asked Lizzie.

Yu Wenwei glanced sideways, looked at the map in front of him again, and then took out a sunspot and buckled it on top of Suning, and replied: "According to the reconnaissance of the Second Brigade, there are also troops stationed in Qingyuan and Anyang, and the number is the same as yours, and it is only three thousand. But it seems that the number of the other party is still increasing. ”

Li Qi looked surprised, and also noticed that several people were gathering on a sand table, and on this sand table, the layout of the Red Phoenix Army and the Mongolian army was clear at a glance, and under the siege of several black chess, it represented that the red chess pieces of the Red Phoenix Army were eye-catching and abnormal.

He couldn't help but be angry: "Qingyuan, Anyang, in this way, the other party is planning to trap us completely?"

"That's right. And it seems that I am afraid that the southward movement of the main force of the other side is also a matter of imminence. Xiao Feng suddenly felt his eyebrows jump sharply, and his temples also hurt faintly, so he had to press his temples to soothe himself.

Although Li Qi exterminated this cavalry, there were still tens of thousands of cavalry encamped here in the distant Ansu Prefecture and Hejian Province, ready to attack.

They did not move, and in fact could not have been dispatched until the target was determined, as the novelist puts it, to gather tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops in a corner, and then try to complete the battle and then decide the victory or defeat in one battle, after all, it is still too false after all.

From the initial contact, to the temptation of each other, to the subsequent deployment of troops, until the final decision, every link is quite important and indispensable.

In order to obtain information from the other side, the investigation is carried out from the beginning to the end, and it is even more common to plant spies in the other side's army, and even bribe the other party with money and the like, and then obtain information, which is also a matter of course, and the purpose is to be able to find the weak points of the other side, and then directly attack the weak points.

Only those who can plan the whole process as a whole and can do it well can be called a famous general.

But even so, a person's power is limited, and it still requires the cooperation of subordinates to be able to do it.

Xiao Feng knew this, Kublai Khan knew this, and Meng Ge also knew this, so the three of them were all waiting quietly, waiting for who would show their flaws first, and that was the time to decide the winner.

"If so. The subordinates are willing to lead the troops to attack and completely defeat these armies. Li Qi immediately leaned over and asked for battle.

Xiao Feng shook his head and said categorically: "No." No one shall go to war without my command. ”

"Why?" Li Qi was surprised.

"There are clouds in the art of war: five are attacked, and times are surrounded. Yu Wenwei said slowly: "Even if our strength is superior, if we want to eradicate these three troops, it will take the strength of a brigade to annihilate the other party." Yu Wenwei explained: "At this time, our troops are already insufficient, if we divide our troops to attack these three places, the strength of our headquarters will only be half of what it was before." At that time, the headquarters will not have enough troops, and it will be difficult to ensure the safety of the soldiers. Moreover, the situation of the enemy in Suning, Qingyuan, and Anyang is unknown, and if you rush out into battle, it will be even more dangerous if the troops are trapped there. ”

This place is a plain area, which is completely different from the steep mountains and forests of Shexian in the past.

The terrain advantage is completely flattened, and only by relying on numbers and resources can we defeat the other side in a real war of attrition.

This is where the Red Phoenix Army is disadvantaged!

Li Qiton felt unwilling, and retorted: "If this is the case, then we will quietly watch the other party target us and surround us?"

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Before we see the other party's target clearly, we can only quietly watch the other party's actions and take action against the other party. Only in this way can we grasp the last chance. Yu Wenwei said again.

Li Qi asked, "That being the case, what should we do next?

"Of course not. Let's not talk about the enemy's attack, but food is the fatal problem. After fighting the local tyrants and dividing the fields, although we obtained some food, this grain can only support us for three months. After three months, you'll be in a mess. Yu Wenwei sighed and replied, his eyes inevitably revealing a little pain.

It can be said that if Xiao Feng hadn't insisted on carrying out this strategy, he was afraid that the Red Feng Army would have fallen into a predicament in advance, and under the shortage of food and grass at that time, I was afraid that they would really fall apart.

Li Qi pondered for a moment and asked, "Three months?" So, we must break through the other party's encirclement and suppression within three months?"

"That's right. Three months!"

At this time, Xiao Fengfang raised her head, a pair of black eyes were already red, looking at everyone's expectant faces, she felt the weight of the pressure on her shoulders, but at this moment, she couldn't show slackness.

Therefore, Xiao Feng only encouraged everyone with confident words: "You only need to support the autumn harvest, and the grain in the field can be harvested." When the time comes, we can also breathe a sigh of relief and live smoothly. Only by living can we have hope, and only by living can we achieve our purpose. So now, let's work together to survive. ”

"I'll understand. It will live up to the wishes of the lord. ”

Everyone replied in unison, and then lay down on the sand table again, continuing their previous movements.

At this time, in order to ensure the safety of the whole army, everyone must be careful to ensure that every decision of the Red Phoenix Army is on the right path.
