Chapter 229

In the age of cold weapons without aircraft, artillery and missiles, it is important to pay attention to the fact that soldiers and horses do not move, and food and grass go first. It can be said that food supply is one of the keys to success or defeat. Unless they can set up base stations at regular intervals on vast grasslands or deserts, it is absolutely unrealistic to lead troops in depth. However, there are also exceptions.

"Have you ever thought about replacing infantry with cavalry?" After listening to what he said, Ling Jingxuan turned to lie on his side and gently put his hands on his waist.

"Oh? Do you have a good way? Tell me. "

Yan Shengrui picked up his eyebrows and closed his eyes to see him. His daughter-in-law is smart. He always knew that, so he never underestimated his suggestions.

"The nomads in the north, in a word, rely on their familiarity with grasslands and deserts, and they are like guerrillas. What's more, they live in tents like yurts. They don't have a fixed place, so they are not afraid of the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. But one thing they won't easily transfer is their royal court. Now the quality of our military horses is not comparable to that of the people Home, comparing speed with others is to seek death. Why don't you develop your strengths and avoid your weaknesses? It happens that Marquis Zeng is also at the border, and someone is in charge of the overall situation. After you go back to the border, you can select 5000 to 10000 elite soldiers from 100000 cavalry, give them the best horses and equipment, and then cooperate with Marquis Zeng. You can take the selected soldiers to light and simple ride, and weave them into the enemy's heart, directly destroy their royal court, and capture and guard the royal court Xiao Wang, give a devastating attack from their weakest place. If you think it's not enough, you can let them know when leading troops into the grassland, but remember not to let them know the number of soldiers, and then complete the interleaving in the shortest time and disappear in the enemy's sight. On Zeng Hou's side, he pretends to show the illusion that the army has been taken away by you Let hundreds of thousands of soldiers retreat into the mountains and hide, leaving a few soldiers to resist symbolically. After luring them into the city, they will encircle them from the outside and close the door to beat their dogs. In this way, the nomadic people in the north will be greatly weakened and dare not to invade the border of our country for at least three or five years. Of course, if the two countries do not follow suit, how should they not follow I think you should know better than me. Finally, before bringing soldiers into the city, quietly evacuate the people in the city. Most of the nomadic people are cruel and bloodthirsty. Don't let them become the victims of your contributions. "

Ling Jingxuan is a doctor and a killer in his previous life. The killer pays attention to hit the target with one move, and does not give the target any breathing opportunity. After expanding it, it can also be applied to military affairs, or it will inevitably cause a devastating blow to the enemy.

"Then we can take advantage of the opportunity that the enemy has not dared to invade for three or five years, so as to cultivate our military horses and train our cavalry. When the nomads get better, our cavalry will not lose to them. We can send elite cavalry to carry out the pursuit for thousands of miles or send several people and horses to encircle them?"

The more shrewd and wise Yan Shengrui is, he can draw inferences from one instance. Ling Jingxuan nodded and said: "it's not only that. The cavalry can only carry food for three days at most, and let them eat the rest on the spot. They can supplement military supplies in the vast grasslands and deserts. This not only solves the problem of our army's supply line, but also greatly attacks the production of the enemy Ability can relieve the pressure that we have been fighting against them for many years, and our national strength has gradually become insufficient to support. In this way, the domestic agriculture and other aspects can also be developed in an all-round way, which can be said to be a pull and move the whole body. "

Of course, the premise is that their strategy must be successful next year. As the first commander who led the troops with light clothes and rode thousands of miles deep, Yan Shengrui must let the soldiers and the people of the court see that this method is feasible. In the future, those who stand and speak without pain in the back will not retort and argue. Although, with Yan Shengrui's temper, even if they refute, he will not It should and won't pay attention.

"It's a wonderful way, though a little risky."

Yan Shengrui can't help thinking about the possibility of this method of war. When cavalry go deep into the grassland desert, what they fear most is not the enemy, but getting lost. After all, they are not familiar with it. In case they get lost in the grassland desert and can't find water and food, they will have to wait for death. Of course, this is only one possibility, not absolute. If the strategy succeeds, they will receive Gain will be far higher than loss? There is no fluke in any war. Only danger is accompanied by it. What we can do is to reduce the danger to the greatest extent. Before or after the deployment of troops, you can catch several nomadic people as guides. In this way, the risk of getting lost will be reduced. By the way, I can also make some simple compass for you. With it, you are not afraid to be in the grassland and desert Lost. "

When it comes to fun, Ling Jingxuan can't help but get up and lie on his chest. The compass is the least technical but very practical thing. In addition, he can help them transform some weapons, such as bows and crossbows, and improve its accuracy and firing quantity. As a killer in his previous life, these things are better than those of farming Free up.

"Compass?" Yan Shengrui picks eyebrows curiously. What is that?

"Ha ha It's a kind of tool that always points to the south. You just have to remember to go up and down, South, left, West, right and East. Maybe it can't guide you exactly, but it can give you a general direction, so that you won't get lost in the grassland and desert. "In modern times, compass is a very common thing, some children have toys, but in ancient times, it is undoubtedly a new and practical industry.

"It's a good thing. With it, our worries are almost gone. Even if we can't find Wang Ting accurately, we can at least know where there are people who can supply food and military supplies in time. It's not difficult to come back alive. Jingxuan, thank you!"

A hug him, Yan Shengrui countless times in the heart to celebrate the decision to marry him.

"What time are you leaving?"

There is no need for them to thank for something. Ling Jingxuan resolutely switches off the topic. Yan Shengrui's happiness on his face suddenly disappears. He says in a stuffy way: "the Lantern Festival is over at the latest."

From here to the border, it would take about seven or eight days to light a simple ride. But this time, he still carries a large number of weapons, and the time will be at least about 10 days. When he arrives at the border, he has to arrange the layout as soon as possible. When the ice and snow melt in February and March, and the nomads are ready to move, they will attack decisively. The time is very urgent.

"Well, I'll make your compass tomorrow. By the way, you're going to let Jing Peng bring it to you first?"

During this period of time, there have been nearly 3000 or 4000 sets of down jackets and military boots that they have stored in the warehouse. The factory is still in constant rush, and the production will be accelerated after the construction starts on the fifth day of the first month.

"Well, more than 3000 sets is a drop in the bucket. Originally I intended to satisfy people above the general level. Now it seems that the cavalry must be satisfied first."

As long as he is about to leave, Yan Shengrui's interest is hard to improve.

"That's it. When Jing Peng leaves, let him take away all his down jacket and military boots. Before February, I'll try to get someone to send it to you again. I'll give you at least 5000 sets."

At present, there is only so much he can do. If he can, why would he like to see his man go to the front line? "Don't worry. Keep your body tight. It's not enough. There are cotton padded clothes. In general, no one dares to confiscate the military supplies of my army. On the whole, the treatment of the soldiers is very good."

He has absolute confidence in this point. The military department did not play with him, but Xiaoliu helped him to gather all the things he needed at the first time. When he went back, he killed all the ministers and servants of the military department without asking in front of all the civil and military officials. Since then, no matter who was in charge of the military department, no one dared to confiscate him He's quartered.

"It's OK. I'm just using my tongue. Everything is running. Your blacksmith should take it all away, right? Do you want to go with you

"No, the blacksmiths have learned what they should learn. Zhao Dalong still stays to help you, and Yi stays to teach the children martial arts. When I leave, I will call yijianger er. With them, no one can move you."

Touching his face, Yan Shengrui's eyes were filled with reluctance and worry. It was only half a month before he left. However, he began to feel that he missed "ha ha, now"

"Pa Pa Pa Yi --"

before Ling Jingxuan finished his words, suddenly a crackling sound broke out outside, and they were stunned at the same time. It was only then that he remembered that they were still on guard, and the sound of firecrackers sounded, representing a new one A year has come, Ling Jingxuan propped up his body and gently kisses Yan Shengrui's lips: "Happy New Year!"

"Happy new year, my princess!"

Yan Shengrui quickly reacts and kisses him back. They look at each other and smile. Everything is silent.

"BUCKLE!"

"Father, is Dad asleep?"

After a few small knock on the door, Ling wenlingwu gently pushed the door open and put his head in timidly. Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan both sat up from the bed: "not yet. Come in."

"Dad." The two steamed stuffed buns opened the door one after another and rushed in. They climbed into the bed with their hands and feet, and respectively gave them a kiss on their faces: "father, Dad, we wish you a happy new year and happiness forever."

as like as two peas, as like as two peas, as like as two peas, they stood side by side at the bedside, bent over to their hands, and the same faces, the same figure, and the same movements, and all the words were so warm. Yan Sheng Lu Ling Jingxuan could not help but smile happily.

"Happy new year, son!"

Ling Jingxuan took out two red envelopes from Yan Shengrui, who had been prepared for a long time, and handed them to them. He did not forget to touch their heads respectively. The two steamed stuffed buns happily said, "thank you father, thank you dad."

"Daddy, are you hungry? Sister song has made the Lantern Festival. Shall I bring you a bowl? "

Because Ling Jingxuan said that he only cared about his younger brother, so he tried very hard not to let his eyes look at his stomach this time. However, the more patient he was, the more he could not help looking at his stomach. His appearance did not mention how funny. Ling Jingxuan could not help laughing and said: "Dad is not hungry, but my brother is hungry. Xiaowu goes to help him carry a bowl of yuanxiao How about coming? "

"Well, I'll be there in a minute."

"Be careful, don't fall."Small steamed bun smell speech immediately turned around to run out, Ling Jingxuan can not help but exhort, Ling Wen see the situation left a word, I also go to give father a bowl and ran out.

"The child." Ling Jingxuan shook his head helplessly. Yan Shengrui hugged him gently: "it's OK. Our son is filial to us." Yes, people can't expect good things. What can they do? Ling Jingxuan turned his head and looked at him. Both of them happily laughed.
