"Which one should I take?" Sun Yi said impatiently.
Wei Ran blurted out: "Tuzhou in the northwest of Linzhou?"
Fang Jue nodded: "Exactly."
"We cannot continue to attack the area due north and northeast of Linzhou because we cannot hold it."
"But Tuzhou can be fought. Tuzhou is adjacent to Hanzhou and Linzhou, so we can help each other... and once Tuzhou is captured, the southwest of Beiliang will be under our army's eyes."
After saying that, Fang Jue looked at the two of them: "Even if we don't attack Tuzhou, when He Feng comes, he will probably focus on this piece of fat."
Originally, Fang Jue was thinking of giving Tuzhou to He Feng as his new achievement in the north.
But now since there are not enough carrot pits, I have to take them first.
"Tuzhou is not the first line of communication between Beiliang and our army. The soldiers and horses are not strong. It is equivalent to Suzhou in our northern border. It should not be difficult to attack." Wei Ran said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Call us quickly?" Sun Yi rubbed his hands and his eyes sparkled.
He knew that Lizhou Camp almost offended Fang Jue this time. If he didn't win another state, he thought it would be more difficult to recruit him than Wei Ran.
Wei Feng said: "But the main city of Tuzhou is close to the west. Once it is attacked, the surrounding state capitals need to support it much faster than here."
"Xi Chu has already sent troops." Wei Ran said jokingly.
Sun Yi: "Yes, Xi Chu must also be eyeing Tuzhou, let's take it down first!"
This is exactly what Fang Jue thinks. Judging from the current situation in Beiliang, their southwestern front line should not be able to be defended.
Xi Chu can at least capture one or two state capitals, and Tuzhou will definitely be on their watch by then.
Beiliang wants to fight against Xichu. If Fang Jue attacks Tuzhou, the pressure will be shared.
"I don't know if there is any movement on the eastern front." Fang Jue murmured.
Donghai has taken action against Beiliang, and several state capitals in the northeast of Qidi should also take the opportunity to take action in order to continue to get a share of the pie.
And more importantly, to check and balance the East China Sea, the East China Sea cannot be allowed to gain too many state capitals in Beiliang.
If the East China Sea Kingdom occupies several important places in the interior, it will also be a serious problem in the future.
"It's dawn."
The battlefield hadn't been cleared yet, it was already dawn, and Fang Jue gradually saw the end of the entire battlefield clearly.
He has become accustomed to the smell of blood and can now turn a blind eye to it.
At this time, there was some vibration on the ground, and the sound of horse hooves came from the north.
"The Yulin Army is back."
Someone shouted.
At this point, the entire army was victorious.
"Report to the general, we will finally capture one of the enemy generals!" Lin Bei dismounted and kicked off the other horse he was pulling, the man who was tied into a rice dumpling.
He led the person to Fang Jue.
"Who is this?" Sun Yi pointed.
Lin Bei proudly showed off: "This man is the commander of Linzhou Camp. On my way back, I saw him trying to escape, so I captured him."
"Good job." Fang Jue praised.
He knew that this person could not escape. If he escaped elsewhere, he would still have a chance to survive, but how could he return to Linzhou?
The Yulin Army had already gone to sort out his infantry.
"What was the result?" Fang Jue asked Lin Bei the result of the battle.
Lin Bei cupped his hands and said, "Fortunately, I lived up to my command and killed more than five thousand enemies."
Wei Ran and Sun Yi both looked envious.
The Yulin Army's job was really comfortable. Although they also won a great victory on the main battlefield, they were not able to kill so many enemies.
This is a real military achievement.
"How many injuries did our army suffer?" Fang Jue asked.
Lin Beidao: "The Yulin army lost more than 200 people and injured more than a thousand."
Six thousand cavalry, against five thousand infantry, was almost a one-sided massacre without defense.
What's more, it was night, and the Beiliang Army was attacked by cavalry on the march. It can be said that they were inevitably vulnerable.
"There are fewer casualties than ours..." Now, Sun Yi was even more jealous.
"How many casualties are there on the north shore?" Lin Bei asked casually when he heard this.
Sun Yi rolled his eyes and said: "More than 500 people were damaged, with more damage on the side of the dam. The firearms camp on the north bank is almost completely victorious."
"The firearms camp is really so outstanding... It seems that the general is right. The battlefield in the future will be completely different." Lin Bei said with emotion.
Wei Feng said confidently: "The emergence of firearms will surely sweep the battlefield. We, Daxia, will be unrivaled from now on!"
The remaining people were slightly silent and looked a little confused.
The emergence of firearms is a good thing for Daxia, but it is difficult for veteran generals like them to change their ancient combat thinking.
This disorganized battle formation had an unimaginable effect, destroying several people's inherent concepts of war.
It has only been a few months, but a firearms battalion has dominated a battlefield of such a scale. If a battalion of ten thousand households can be assembled in a few years... it will be truly invincible.
"How is the cleaning of the battlefield in the north going?" Fang Jue asked.
Lin Bei: "At the end of the day, the general brought the captured soldiers back, and most of them are still cleaning up."
"Let's repair for half a day, make food in the afternoon and then set off." Fang Jue ordered.
"Going to Linzhou?"
"You go to Tuzhou, and I'll go to Linzhou." Fang Jue looked at the three of them.
Lin Bei was surprised: "Are you going to attack Tuzhou?"
"Won't the general go to Tuzhou?" Several people asked in surprise.
Fang Jue shook his head: "I will take the firearms battalion, the guard battalion, three thousand light cavalry and all the infantry to station in Linzhou, waiting for He Feng. You can take this time to capture Tuzhou."
Regarding Tuzhou, Fang Jue did not intend to take matters into his own hands.
Moreover, he had enough military exploits to conquer three states... Only Ye Xuanfeng had done this before.
And even in winter, Ye Xuanfeng could not defeat the three northern states.
If he takes over a state himself, the emperor will not be able to grant him a title of marquis after he returns?
Too fast.
"What does the general mean, let us Lizhou, Liangzhou and Yulin army join forces to capture Tuzhou?" Sun Yi's eyes lit up.
"Eight thousand light cavalry raided Tuzhou..." Wei Ran's eyes lit up, "I think it's feasible. At this time, Tuzhou doesn't know that Hanzhou and Linzhou have been captured by us, so they will lose their vigilance."
"How many troops are there in Tuzhou?" Lin Bei did not speak rashly, but asked the general of Linzhou.
General Linzhou said: "Six thousand, there are only one thousand cavalry."
As a prisoner, the leader of the Linzhou camp also accepted his fate. He knew that if he didn't tell, his subordinates would tell everything.
It's better to correct your attitude and avoid suffering physical pain.
Fang Jue nodded: "I will send Zheng Jun to lead a hundred-household firearms camp to cooperate with your actions."
"Of course that's the best!" Sun Yi, who had seen two bombs blow open the city gate, immediately laughed.
The difficulty of attacking Tuzhou will not be higher than that of Shuangzhou, and it may even be easier, because Tuzhou does not have the same geographical conditions as Shuangzhou.
"After we capture it, you will be stationed there and build fortifications on the spot, as well as build a grain road leading to Hanzhou and Linzhou."
Fang Jue said: "It is not difficult to capture Tuzhou, but it is difficult to hold it. The Northern Liang Army and the coming Western Chu Army will probably not give up on Tuzhou. The most important thing is that you can hold it."
"Don't worry, General, we won't underestimate the enemy." Lin Bei held his hand.
Wei Ran suddenly asked:
"I wonder who will temporarily lead the three armies if our four battalions join forces?"
He asked directly.
Fang Jue said: "I have appointed you as the left forward, and the Yulin Army and Lizhou Camp Cavalry are temporarily at your disposal. If there is anything wrong, I will report it to you!"
"Thank you, General, for your trust!" Wei Ran immediately knelt down and accepted the order. He just asked, but he didn't expect to be trusted so much.
Sun Yi slapped himself.
Mad, why didn’t I think of asking this? If I did, would I be the pioneer?
Lin Bei immediately expressed his position: "General, don't worry, the Yulin Army will definitely cooperate with Wei Qianfeng."
"The same goes for Lizhou Camp!" Sun Yi didn't want to give the general the impression of being arrogant and arrogant, so he reacted very quickly. This chapter has been completed!
