Jiang Shen asked with interest: "Oh, how do you say this? How much food is left in the granary?"
Others were also very interested and pricked up their ears - the amount of food directly affected whether the army could continue to fight, so they couldn't help but care.
Hua Xi glanced at him and said with a smile: "I can't tell you the specific number, but I personally suggest that this battle should not last more than half a month. If the battle situation reaches a stalemate, the deadlock must be broken as soon as possible to end the battle!"
Hua Xi quoted half a month. In fact, the first batch of money and food withdrawn from the Situ Mansion was enough to sustain the army for a month. How to control who is tight and who is loose? Hua Xi already knows the secret.
Everyone was thoughtful. If Hua Xi didn't hide anything, they could almost estimate the amount of food stored in the granary by calculating the time.
Jiang Shendao said: "Since the continuous fighting time is only half a month, it is best to withdraw the battle line to the Yingshan area, or even simply block the Shanrong Army in Beishuiquan. This will shorten the supply line and enhance the food supply capacity. Secondly, it will also have sufficient supply."
time to build fortifications”
The bully said loudly: "It's still Yingshan. Once Yingshan is lost, you can retreat to Beishuiquan for defense. But if Beishuiquan is lost and the Shanrong army forces them into the Gouhe area, then Changyang City will be destroyed."
It is very dangerous, and there is a possibility of being attacked by troops at any time. Moreover, there is more than one road between the mountains and ridges, and there is another road starting from Beishuiquan: Beishuiquan-Banbi Mountain-Shahe-Changyang Lake-Changyang City. Avoid Gouhe and take a detour of 200 miles.
The significance of deploying fortifications in Gouhe River is greatly reduced."
This is the second time Hua Xi has seen this Changyang bully, nicknamed Shengfan. In the past, he had a preconceived impression that a bully was nothing more than a bully with capital, and then he entangled a group of gangsters who did all kinds of evil in colluding with the nobles to dominate one side. Now look at it.
Come on, this bully does have a side worth changing.
Once the topic of discussion was opened, everyone was no longer embarrassed and started talking one after another. Among them, 70% to 80% of the people were in favor of carrying out sniper combat in Yingshan.
Although the marching route he had planned was rejected, at least they are now more polite to each other, and the atmosphere is more harmonious. The big snake followed the stick and laughed along the good steps: "Haha, it seems like everyone is happy."
If we agree to fight the Shanrong to the death in Yingshan and Beishuiquan, we will have a lot more time, and we will also have time to build some simple fortifications. Then our battle plan will be arranged and implemented according to this marching strategy."
Everyone unexpectedly nodded in agreement this time. Le Ruan continued to seize the opportunity, controlled the atmosphere, and asked: "I just don't know which adult is willing to be a forward, seize the Yingshan defense line, and buy time for us?"
After a brief silence, a voice so cold that it made people shiver sounded: "I'm going."
The person speaking was none other than Jiang Xue, one of the four army commanders. For this gangster leader who was backed by his clan, had a fierce people and specialized in the activities of evil forces, everyone had no objection to Jiang Xue's name. The underworld tycoon was born.
Fan has heard about it for a long time, and they have some grievances with each other. As for Jiang Xue's ability, Sheng Fan has no opinion on it. In Sheng Fan's view, this Sheng Fan is at least better than the up-and-coming figure next to him Jiang Shen as a striker.
Be more cautious
The battle arrangement plan was quickly implemented, and no one dared to be careless at this juncture. They had been familiar with the Shan garrison's method of treating prisoners since they were young. Whether it was for their family, the people, or national justice, every day
Everyone tries their best to be the best and fastest
The legion led by Jiang Xue was the vanguard force and was the first to set up defenses on Yingshan, blocking the advance of the Shanrong army as much as possible and providing sufficient time for the main army behind to repair fortifications and other facilities.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining three troops also deployed a tight defense line in Beishuiquan, planning to annihilate the enemy as much as possible. Beishuiquan is an open area suitable for a large-scale military decisive battle.
The clans and tribes along the marching route also sent some food or other materials to the army. In fact, it was not so much a delivery, but rather the commanders of the army used the name of the chief to forcefully collect materials from them. Although this behavior is a bit of banditry,
But there was nothing wrong with the society at that time. It was a matter of course for clans and tribes to submit military service or hand over war supplies to their clan clans. Although some of these clan leaders would be heartbroken, the reality was often cruel.
While the Changyang tribe was engaged in such a large-scale war, the neighboring Tianshui and Guangling tribes were also frequently mobilizing their troops to closely monitor the latest movements of the Shanrong army. They did this not because they wanted to travel long distances to support Changyang, but to defend themselves to avoid being attacked.
At the same time as the mountain garrison disaster happened, even the imperial capital Chengliu next to Changyang had significantly strengthened its patrols and vigilance. In case of Changyang's defeat, Emperor Yan was likely to personally control the army and conquer Changyang personally. This was one of the reasons, but the main reason was probably
It is to promote the reputation of Emperor Yan's army and frighten the barbarians outside the tribe - the Xuanyuan clan and the Jiuli clan
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Shennong clan replaced the Kuangwu clan and won the throne. They dominated the Central Plains for hundreds of years, which somewhat made Chi You and the Yellow Emperor fearful.
After the combat mission was confirmed, Hua Xi, the chief executive of the logistics corps, relaxed. He handed over the main task of long-distance transportation of food to Murong Fu, Li Qi, and Tuoba Ban, while he himself stayed in Changyang City for deployment.
Food, ordnance, medicine and other supplies
The army set off, and many prestigious leaders also set off to the front line with the army. In addition to the great chief and several boss-level bosses in Changyang City, Hua Xi was the most powerful and powerful Army Sima, the most cutting-edge in Changyang in recent years.
A man of courage, a favorite minister of the great chief, and other titles have given Hua Xi, who is now unique, a growing prestige in Changyang. The tribal territory work is also in full swing under the leadership of Bai Zhan, and the enthusiasm for labor is high.
The best example is: As long as the shop assistants in "China Market" and "Guests Come Like Clouds", even if they are just errands, those big shop owners, merchants, vendors, and nobles will greet the people in a friendly manner and feel extremely proud to be Chinese.
From slaves to superiors, this transformation process is so fast that they themselves find it unbelievable
The daily production order of the clans and tribes around Changyang City and the workshops in the city remained stable. There was no panic or nervousness due to the war. To put it bluntly, everyone was still very confident that the warriors of their tribe could defeat the 70,000 Shanrong army.
This time they only sent about 50,000 troops to the front line, which was 20,000 fewer than Shanrong. However, Changyang's overall strength level was higher than Jinling after all. As long as all the clans united and formed an army of 10,000 people again,
The level of the army is not a big problem, not to mention that behind him is the Yan Emperor. When he was young, he led the warriors of the tribe to conquer the Eight Wastelands and Liuhe, and defeated the Yan Emperor Jiang Ke who took over Chi You to command the army several times.
