Nine hundred and seventieth chapters engineer shovel
"Get back to the point, then let's discuss how to fight this battle well." Chang Wei smiled with everyone for a while, and his expression became serious again.
The generals knew that the joke had passed, and they all set their positions and raised their ears.
After pondering for a while, he came to a sand table.
Before he came, Mahan asked the White Tiger Army's Staff Office to create a war sand table for deduction.
The Yinshan Mountain location on the sand table now has small wooden signs representing the Beidi people. The Jinhe section also marks the places where the Beidi people may be given priority to cross, as well as nearby minefields.
At the same time, the important roads leading to the south and the location of the White Tiger Army stationed were also marked.
The entire battlefield situation is clear at a glance.
"At present, 80,000 people from the White Tiger Army, 50,000 people from the Xuanwu Army, 120,000 people from the Central Army, and 30,000 people from Chen Hu's Independent Lancer Army, totaling 280,000 people." Chang Wei said.
Although Chen Hu led 60,000 lances to support Yongzhou this time, there were only 30,000 cavalrymen under his command.
The remaining 30,000 people all came from other three armies, so only his 30,000 cavalry were counted.
"This time, the Northern Di went south and was full of momentum, as if he wanted to eat Da Song with the Western natives. It was a great battle to fight to the death. Then he must have to break through Yongzhou's defense at any cost, killing to the south of Yongzhou, and disrupting the entire war situation."
"Since that's the case, they are anxious, so we dig trenches and fortifications to wait for their work, so that they can get bloody." Chang Wei analyzed.
When the generals heard this, they nodded one after another.
Relying on Qin-style rifles and short-lived rear-mounted artillery, their attacks will certainly be very sharp.
But if they are defending, their advantage will be greater.
Picking up the teaching pole, Chang Wei pointed at the sand table and issued an order, "From now on, the Central Army will be stationed in Lingwu County, the Xuanwu Army will be stationed in Dingbian County, and the White Tiger Army will be stationed in Yulin County, and immediately build trenches fortifications."
These three points Chang Wei said span the entire Yongzhou.
It belongs to three important military cities in northern Yongzhou.
Among them, Lingwu County is in the east, Dingbian County is in the middle, and Yulin County is in the west.
Among the three counties, the location of Lingwu County is very important.
The Jinhe section in Yongzhou is shaped like a "ji" character.
The left side and the horizontal side above are in danger, and both sides of the Jin River are flat grasslands.
The rest of the rivers are surrounded by mountains and cannot walk with you.
The location where the mountains and grasslands intersect at the lower left side is Lingwu County.
The county town is located near the Jin River in the west and the long Zhutou Mountain in the east. There is a passage more than twenty miles wide in the middle, which can go directly south and enter the hinterland of Qinzhou.
Because the location of Lingwu County is very important, he placed the Central Army in this position.
As for Dingbian County, it is a county town among the mountains of Yongzhou. It has a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Many south-distance trails in the mountains gather here.
If the Beidi soldiers want to break them into pieces, they can't get around here through the mountain path.
Because the mountain road is narrow and it is not convenient for large-scale military deployment, there is no need to station too many troops here.
So he asked the Xuanwu Army to station here. If Lingwu County is under great pressure, the Xuanwu Army will also support it at any time.
Yulin County is the gateway to Yongcheng, followed by mountains.
A spacious valley about five miles leads directly to Yongcheng.
In front of Yulin County is the endless Hetao grassland.
He believed that in addition to Lingwu County, Beidi would definitely be the second direction to focus on the offensive.
So, he stationed the White Tiger Army here.
"Yes, general." The generals replied loudly.
Chang Wei is in charge of Yongcheng, and he is the supreme commander.
The three armies must obey his order.
"General, where are our lancers?" Chen Hu said timidly after Chang Wei finished speaking.
Since taking over the Independent Cavalry Army, he can be said to be the most depressing person he has ever lived.
Because I couldn't take much advantage in front of the Beidi cavalry.
They have never been able to fight independently, and they basically help the infantry and do some pursuit after defeat.
But since he equipped the cavalry gun, he felt that the cavalry had been transformed, which was equivalent to having both the mobility of the cavalry and the combat effectiveness of the infantry.
This time he came with enthusiasm and was ready to show his skills.
Therefore, I am extremely hopeful to get important tasks.
When Chang Wei heard this, he looked at Chen Hu and laughed.
He said, "Don't worry, this time your highness gave you special orders to give you lancers the opportunity to fight against the Beidi cavalry. If your lancers perform well and are defeated by defeating the Beidi army, you will go north to the grassland and expel Beidi's main force."
Chen Hu was immediately overjoyed, scratching his head and giggling.
Chang Wei continued, "So, I will not give you any orders this time. You can find fighter planes on the battlefield and annihilate the opponent's cavalry."
In fact, he does not give orders, but the biggest order.
The lancers were given orders, but the lancers gathered together in one place and cooperated with each other.
His failure to give orders means that the lancers may have to face the encirclement and suppression of all the Northern Di cavalry.
"The last general will not disappoint the general, nor will his Highness disappoint you." Chen Hu naturally understood this.
But he was not afraid and saluted Chang Wei heavily.
Chang Wei nodded, and at this time he said to all the generals, "Action immediately from now on."
"Yes, General." Everyone turned around and left, dispatching their troops to their respective stationed locations.
Watching the generals leave, they always looked at the sand table with their eyes flashing.
Before this severe snow and extremely cold weather appeared, he wanted to use grenades to blow up the ice layer in the narrow river section and prevent the Beidi people from crossing the river.
But then he thought, this war seemed to be an excellent opportunity to eliminate the Beidi army.
This is much better than going to the grasslands and looking for people from Beidi in the future.
Now that the extremely cold weather comes, there may be too many frozen river sections on the river that stretches for thousands of miles, and it cannot be exploded through detonation methods such as grenades. After all, there are too many, and it is too late.
Because of this reason, the people of Beidi would not give up this opportunity, which would be more in line with his thoughts.
This time, in Yongzhou, he would definitely hit Beidi hard.
After thinking for a while, he ordered the telegrapher to send his arrangement to the palace of Yancheng and pass it on to the King of Yan.
The palace at this time.
Zhao Xu was discussing something with Yang Feng in his study.
Feng'er sent Chang Wei's telegram.
He glanced at the eyes and felt that there was no problem, so he asked Feng'er to reply.
When Feng'er's figure disappeared, he and Yang Feng continued the previous matters.
"The veteran general, with this thing, it will be much more convenient for soldiers to dig trenches in the future. Not only that, they can also cut trees and use them as weapons." Zhao Xu waved the shovel as short-handled as in his hand.
It was the folding engineer shovel he had made these two days.
