"Sir, brothers, come and report! There are officers and soldiers guarding the intersections leading to and from Tianqi Mountain!" Early in the morning, Feng Qianlang walked in quickly and reported.
"It's finally here!" Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly. After waiting for two days, Yang Su finally came.
"Where is General Meng? When will General Meng arrive?" Wang Yu asked after a moment of silence.
"Sir, according to the message sent by the falcon, General Meng said that with all his strength, he will arrive in three days!" Qin Qiong stood up and reported.
"Three days!" At such a fast speed, even if there are three people riding on one person, it seems that Meng Wu is trying his best!
Although there are such things as personnel carriers in this world, Mengwu obviously cannot use them at this time. Guangyin has almost been reduced to enemy-occupied territory. If Mengwu continues to use personnel carriers, wouldn’t it be equivalent to going to the
The enemy's mouth? Therefore, they can only rely on their war horses to get on their way!
"Xia Houyuan, the commander of the Dian Military Academy, five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days." In the Han Dynasty, one mile was equal to 300 steps, 1 step = 6 feet, one foot was 23.1 centimeters, and one mile was equal to 0.4158 kilometers. So Xia Houyuan's speed is: "
207 kilometers in three days and 416 kilometers in six days, which is equivalent to advancing 70 kilometers per day, or 140 miles.
The speed of the Mongolian cavalry is "an average marching speed of 90 to 95 kilometers per day. Its assault on northern Russia only took 2 months and 5 days, with an average daily speed of 85 to 90 kilometers; it only took 2 months and 5 days to capture southern Russia.
It took 2 months and 10 days, and the daily attack speed reached 55 to 60 kilometers; it only took three months to capture Hungary and Poland, and the daily attack speed reached 58 to 62 kilometers."
Excluding the time required for fighting, the Mongolian cavalry must have marched more than 100 kilometers per day, which is 200 miles.
And with the current marching speed of Meng Wu, it is almost comparable to that of Mongolian cavalry.
"If reinforcements have to arrive in three days, sir, we must stay here for at least four days!" Su Dingfang said solemnly.
There are thousands of enemies, plus a large number of masters. It will not be easy to hold on for four days!
The reason why it took four days was that Meng Wu rushed thousands of miles to attack. Although they could arrive within three days, the extremely long march would inevitably cause this unit to be extremely exhausted and have almost no combat power.
Therefore, when Meng Wu was approaching Tianqi Mountain, he would have to hide for a day to rest. Without a day's rest, these three thousand black cavalry would not be Yang Su's opponent even if they came.
"Sir, this stronghold cannot be defended, we must take a long-term approach!" Su Dingfang continued.
"What Ding Fang said makes sense!" Wang Yu nodded in agreement. Although this mountain stronghold is dangerous, staying here will only be a dead end.
There are only 700 people in the whole stronghold, and these people are bandits. How can they compare with the Three Kings' rebel army in terms of combat power? Besides, there are no defensive equipment here, and the equipment is extremely crude.
Apart from this, it is the people's hearts. More than ten thousand cavalry came in a mighty force, and the bandit soldiers below were already panic-stricken. They had never seen such a battle before.
The most important thing is that once they decide to stick to the cottage, there is no way out.
According to Xu Chu, this stronghold was built by another group of strong men before, but the leader did many evil things and was a slave to the common people. When he started to rob the people one day, he was slaughtered by Xu Chu and others. After that, Xu Chu
, Feng Qianlang and the others occupied this place.
If Su Lie had built the stronghold from the beginning, he would not have chosen this place. Although this place occupies the most dangerous place in Tianqi Mountain, there is only one way in and out. If Yang Su breaks the stronghold, they will have no way to retreat.
retreat.
Relying on the stronghold to defend, and facing famous generals like Yang Su, and the enemy was full of experts, even Su Lie could not guarantee that he could defend for four days when he had very few defensive equipment.
Therefore, Su Lie proposed to abandon the stronghold. The abandoned mountain was so big today, and the stronghold was only an insignificant part. Even if they did not have a stronghold, they could still rely on the favorable terrain to resist.
On the contrary, when they walked out of this village, they had the opportunity to play this game of chess. The abandoned mountain is so big today, and Yang Su's ten thousand people seem to be a lot, but if they were thrown into this mountain, not even a wave would be there.
If you can't dig it out, it will be impossible to find them in a short time.
"I'm afraid we can't bring all of these people with us!" Zhao Kuangwei walked into the lobby and said with a frown.
Soldiers value elites rather than numbers. Many of these bandit soldiers are already panic-stricken. Keeping them by your side will not only not be helpful, but may have the opposite effect.
Moreover, when there are too many people, it is easy for flaws to be exposed and traces to be found.
It is not convenient for Wang Yu to say these words himself, but Zhao Kuangwei can. After all, Wang Yu only agreed to Xu Chu two days ago to help him properly arrange the brothers.
However, when Zhao Kuangwei mentioned this, Su Lie's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Sure enough, Xu Chu was a little unhappy when Zhao Kuangwei said this. If he hadn't arranged for these brothers, he would have already disbanded the village and went to find Xiong Kuo Hai, so why wait until today! But now, but
How can you be happy to ask Xu Chu to abandon his brothers?
Xu Chu objected, and Wang Yu could only give Su Lie a look. Su Lie was different from Xu Chu. The two of them were a commander and a fierce general. Compared with Xu Chu, Su Lie was more rational at many times and knew what to do when.
Such choices.
"Brother, the enemy army is huge. Taking these brothers will harm them. Rather than doing this, it is better to let the brothers choose to stay or stay..." Su Dingfang warned eloquently.
Su Lie's meaning is very simple. If the brothers below choose to continue to follow them, then they will continue to stay. If they are not willing to follow them anymore, they have some savings in the village these days, and they will be able to share them when the time comes.
Just give it to those brothers.
"But now that the road out of the mountain is guarded by officers and soldiers, how can the brothers escape?" Xu Chu still hesitated.
At that time, even if these brothers want to leave, there are many officers and soldiers guarding each mountain pass. I am afraid that these brothers will have to be picked up by the officers and soldiers as soon as they show their faces.
"Brother, don't worry!..." Su Dingfang smiled bitterly and had no choice but to continue explaining to Xu Chu.
Even if Yang Su really catches all the brothers who want to leave, Yang Su will not kill these brothers easily. At that time, Yang Su's first reaction will probably be to force them out from the mouths of these brothers.
Get some information instead of killing them.
For Yang Su, killing the last group of bandits was meaningless to him.
Of course, that's what Su Lie said, but it's not necessarily clear what he was thinking in his heart. One general's achievements are worth tens of thousands. For these famous generals, as long as they can win in the end, some sacrifices are not out of the question.
