Chapter 211 Top Secret Letter
"Xiaosheng, we fought a beautiful battle this time, why are you still frowning?" Xiao Chen said so, but his mood was not very beautiful. He walked around the wounded barracks just now, and what he saw was horrible.
This is the cruelty of war.
"It's very beautiful, it's much more than I expected, but the enemy is also really brave. Boss, you have seen it with your own eyes. They are all skilled in bows and horses, and they are not afraid of death. If they didn't underestimate the enemy this time, we have prepared enough Sufficient, the victory or defeat is really hard to say." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
Being able to keep a cool head at all times is a quality that a good general must possess.
"Yeah, these guys are ruthless enough, and I lost dozens of brothers." Wei Yuntian only lost a few dozen of his thousand iron armors, and the casualties are basically negligible, but he felt that Very wimpy.
A thousand heavy armors fighting hundreds of light cavalry, and when the opponent is already in a mess, it stands to reason that it should be a massacre and should not be killed by others.
"Xiaosheng, what shall we do next?" Xiao Chen said.
"It's better to stop with silence. I guess they won't make a big attack immediately after they suffer this time... If I can know what Qiu Muling is thinking now, I am willing to use all my salary in exchange." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Maybe I'm scared to pee." Wei Yuntian said with a smile.
"It's not enough to be scared, but it's definitely not light, but I don't know his character or the way he uses troops, otherwise I can judge what he will do next?" Zhuge Xiaosheng sighed.
He was assuming that if he was the opponent's main general Qiu Muling, what would he do next?
First of all, we will learn from the pain, deeply learn from the experience and lessons of this failure, and then re-formulate the attack plan.
During this period, we will continue to send small-scale troops to make tentative attacks, and to find out our true strength as much as possible during the battle.
They will also send a small group of capable troops into the mountains to carry out harassing attacks on our side, which will make our army's morale unstable, and the grass and trees will become soldiers, and a certain amount of psychological suppression will be done.
Or we will also send a surprise soldier to cut off our food roads. In that case, we will have to allocate a part of our troops to clean up, and the strength of the main battle will be greatly weakened.
The official attack will also adopt a more secure method, such as sending a team of shield soldiers to clear away obstacles such as repelling horses, so that the cavalry behind can attack unimpeded.
A certain amount of troops will also be deployed on the two wings to eliminate the threat of musketeers and ambush troops first, thus forming a situation of encirclement on three sides.
Of course, catapults will also be used. This kind of powerful long-range curved firepower is what Zhuge Xiaosheng fears the most.
If the opponent has enough catapults, then as long as there is a bombardment, the formation on your side will be self-defeating, and it will be impossible to resist.
The only way is to shrink the formation into the forest, but this will not be able to exert the power of the ballista formation, and it is even difficult to do effective defense. In other words, it is hard steel that can only face the opponent. This is Zhuge Xiaosheng The situation I am most afraid of seeing.
If Qiu Muling was as awesome as Zhuge Xiaosheng, he would definitely do this.
"If it doesn't work, we can shrink into the mountains and fight with them for a while, that is, to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains? Let's occupy all the high grounds first, build nests in the trees, dig holes in the mountains, and wait for them to come in ambush and die!" Wei Yuntian also has experience in fighting in mountains and forests.
"I think it will work, as long as you give me a thousand people, in three days, I promise to set up a net in this woods, come one and let them die one, come a group and let them die together." If you talk about fighting in the mountains, the last It's still Lu Fei who is awesome.
He is too familiar with the forest, he has been hunting wild animals in the mountains since he was a child...
"Then what if they don't attack?" Zhuge Xiaosheng sighed, "Then are we stuck in this forest all this time?"
Oh...that's exactly what I said, that way I would be trapped to death by others.
So what do you think we should do? Otherwise, just kill it and forget it!
"We are short of troops, and our actions are slow. It is not suitable for a decisive battle with them at present. I think it is still..." Zhuge Xiaosheng didn't finish his sentence, but saw several Chinese army clerks rushing in.
"General Zhuge, those letters have been translated, please take a look at them."
Look at all of them with red eyes and exhausted looks. It seems that they didn't sleep well last night.
It stands to reason that so many people can translate a few letters, which can be done in a matter of minutes, but these letters are very special, all of which are very ancient traditional characters that only the nobles of the Xianbo royal family are familiar with.
How big is the difference?
To put it this way, it seems to be the difference between our current writing and the insect and bird Xiaozhuan in ancient times.
So these clerks are not translating, but deciphering!
It is already very remarkable to be able to get it done in one night and half a day.
Zhuge Xiaosheng picked up the translated letter and read it again, a mysterious smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth...
These letters are not addressed to the chief general of Xianbo, Qiu Muling, but to their little prince Mo Luo. It seems that this little prince is also in the army.
The little prince Moluo is the youngest son of Hungu, the leader of the Xianbo tribe. He has followed his father to fight north and south since he was a child.
He is as famous as Wanyan Pingqiu, and is called the Eighth Prince with the other six tribal princes.
In other words, being able to lead more than 20,000 Xianbo cavalry to sweep Yanyun County has already proved his strength.
It's not ordinary bullshit.
"Fucking eight little princes, I think they are eight little bastards!" Xiao Chen always despised any opponent strategically.
After receiving the letter and reading it again, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Hahaha, it seems that this little bastard is about to be bitten by the tail of a few other little bastards!"
These are all top-secret urgent letters, but they were sent by Tu Hungu, saying that Yan Pingqiu, that little bastard, is trying to attract the power of various tribes to form a shitty alliance.
Threatening to form an army of one million, taking advantage of the civil turmoil in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he sent troops south to occupy Fengyang City and capture Li Wanjiang alive!
At that time, the big guys can coerce the emperor to order the princes, intimidate the garrisons in various places in Dazhou to surrender and surrender, and finally we will divide their territory equally, wouldn't it be happy?
It sounds like a good plan, but it's pure nonsense that a sensible person can figure it out with his nose!
There are dozens of tribes, large and small, in northern Xinjiang, and there are seven or eight of the more powerful ones. The relationship between the big guys is not harmonious, and small-scale battles occur every year because of the plundering of the lush grassland.
Several of them still have deep blood feuds, isn't it a joke that you want to form an alliance under such circumstances?
I'm afraid they will start killing each other before breaking through Yanyun Pass.
And you, Wanyan Ping, Qiu Hede, how can you?
What qualifications do you have to be the initiator of this alliance?
You are not even the direct son of King Mo Jie, your mother is just a concubine of King Mo Jie, and she is from Da Zhou.
You Capricorns, especially your relationship with Da Zhou has always been good, so we doubt whether you have ulterior motives in this move?
