Chapter 748: Send troops to the northern border, Bai Qi as the commander!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The dull sound of war drums resounded through the parade ground in the west of the city. After many years, Ning Fan put on the Taotie Baoxuan Armor again, holding the Fierce Dragon Soul-breaking Spear, and stood on the generals' platform.
On the parade ground, the Qihuo Army, the White Robe Army, the Xianzhen Camp, the Baima Yicong, the Modao Army, the Xuanjia Army and the Dajishi were neatly lined up.
The 350,000-strong army composed of special arms was ready to go.
The Wei Wuzu was now in Huainan, and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was defeated. It was not easy to rebuild it.
And the Beiwei Army, beside Yue Fei, the Iron Eagle Sharp Warrior was hidden by Ning Fan.
"Bai Qi!"
"I am here!"
"Appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition, command the three armies, and hold the seal of the commander!"
"I obey your order!"
"Huo Qubing!"
"Here!"
"Appoint you as the Deputy Marshal of the Northern Expedition!"
"I obey your order!"
"Ran Min, Zhao Yun, Chen Qingzhi, Qin Qiong!"
"I am here!"
"You four will be the vanguard, clear the way when you encounter mountains, and build bridges when you encounter rivers, and you must not make any mistakes!"
"Yes!"
Ning Fan handed out the command arrows to the generals one by one. After completing the coordination from the vanguard to the logistics, he looked around and said in a low voice: "Soldiers, the Hu slaves have come thousands of miles to invade our northern border, and their hearts are not dead to destroy us!"
"Today, my Dayu's sharp soldiers, raise their long spears and spears to conquer the barbarians, and they will not stop until they die!"
"Dayu, you cannot be offended, and those who come must die!"
"Ten thousand wins!"
Ning Fan suddenly raised the spear in his hand, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in front of him shouted together, with high morale!
You know, all the soldiers present are special soldiers, especially the first batch of veteran soldiers, all of whom are the headquarters of the previous life, reborn with blood. It is no exaggeration to say that at least one-fifth of the 350,000 troops present have Chinese blood.
They also inherited some memories!
Ning Fan is also looking forward to the amazing combat power of 350,000 special soldiers.
Moreover, he still has two trump cards in his hand, which have not been used. He will not use them easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Go to war!"
...
Northern Border.
Yunteng City.
As a fortress that Jingguogong has been operating for many years, Yue Fei set this place as the capital of the northern border after he went north, so as to look around the northern border.
General's Mansion.
All the generals of Zhenbei Army gathered together, and the atmosphere in the hall was particularly depressing. Niu Gao and other generals looked at the map on the wall with a gloomy face.
"General, in just ten days, we have given up nearly 70 miles of defense and relocated nearly one million people."
"It's not a solution to keep retreating!"
"Are we going to watch the Huns take over the vast northern border without bloodshed?"
"Yes, General, if the court knows about this and someone investigates, I'm afraid..."
Zhang Xian also looked disappointed. Yue Fei was wearing armor and his face was calm. He looked at the map calmly and said softly: "In ten days, we retreated 70 miles, and the Huns More than ten cities were captured in a row."
"The people had moved out one after another several months ago. What we gave them were just empty cities. What loss did we suffer?"
"This..."
Niu Gao, Zhang Xian and others looked at each other in bewilderment. Yue Fei continued, "Our 300,000 troops were all newly recruited soldiers more than half a year ago. Although their combat effectiveness is just beginning, the Hu people are not Mobei."
"The Hu people's cavalry is more powerful than the Great Jin back then!"
"I am not afraid of the Hu people either. Even though the 300,000 troops cannot compete with the Hu people, 's 800,000 cavalrymen, but it is enough to fight hard. "
"But what about that?"
"Can you defend the northern border?"
"If all the soldiers die, who will protect the people and the territory?"
Hearing Yue Fei's question, Zhang Xian and other generals clenched their fists tightly. Lan Yu, who had never spoken, looked at Yue Fei: "General Yue, the Hu slaves' cavalrymen will arrive at our Yunteng City tomorrow."
"In this battle, we have no way to retreat."
"Yes!"
Yue Fei also showed a bitter smile, but his eyes became bright, pointing to the ground Tu looked at the generals: "Look, from the border city of Guxue, Shishan City, Laning City, and then to our Yunteng City."
"The Hu slaves went all the way south and headed straight for Yunteng."
"Because they also know that as long as they take Yunteng City, it is equivalent to gaining a firm foothold in the northern border of our dynasty, and at the same time they can send troops from Yunteng City to the surrounding areas!"
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, the generals also looked condensed. As Yue Fei's fingertips passed across the map, a gleam of brilliance suddenly appeared in Lan Yu's eyes. These cities were actually connected into a line, attacking Yunteng City directly.
And the cities that had not been lost around them were actually woven into a net, faintly locking Yunteng City from all sides!
"Did you see that?"
"What the Marshal meant was..."
"Showing weakness to the enemy is only the first step. Didn't you notice?"
"Why was it that every time Mobei invaded, our northern border was caught off guard, and it was even difficult to launch a counterattack within three to five months?"
Lan Yu looked at the map and said in a deep voice: "Because the border of my Great Yu's northern border is too long and difficult to defend, and once the iron cavalry of Mobei enters the country, it is like a loach, impossible to catch or touch!"
"That's right!"
Yue Fei nodded heavily: "Even if there are millions of troops deployed on this border, it may not be able to be seamless, and there will still be loopholes, giving the barbarians an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"Instead of doing that, it is better to take the initiative to shrink the defense line!"
"I have studied the border defense of Dayu in the past, especially in recent years. In order to prevent Mobei from harassing our border, every autumn harvest and the beginning of winter, Duke Jingguo will send troops deep into Mobei."
"Take the initiative to attack, consume their manpower, and stabilize our border in an offensive way."
"Make Mobei unable to march south."
Yue Fei slowly sat back in his position, his tone unhurried: "After I took charge of the northern border, General Zilong and General Qingzhi also attacked Mobei several times and repelled it for hundreds of miles."
"But now, the situation has changed."
"The Hu slaves are invading on a large scale, and we have to return to the stage of passive defense, but our northern border has only 300,000 troops!"
"The border line stretches Over a hundred miles, defense is impossible!"
"Only by shrinking the defense line, connecting the cities into a line, laying a net, connecting the head and the tail, and watching each other, can we delay the pace of the Hu slaves moving south."
"Instead of fighting with the Hu slaves in the city, it is better to withdraw and preserve strength."
"And every time the Hu slaves take a city, they have to leave soldiers and horses to prevent their retreat from being cut off. This is our advantage."
"I have already asked the court for help. Now, it is not time to counterattack. Before the court's reinforcements, we will face the Hu slaves head-on to see how strong these barbarians are!"
A sharp light appeared on Yue Fei's face, and his eyes looked around and looked at Yang Zaixing: "Zaixing, listen to my orders!"
"I am here!"
"You lead the Beiwei army out of the city!"
