Great Tang princess

Chapter 304 The Learning Ability of the Enemy Army

The food came quickly, because the matter was urgent, and everyone didn't have time to talk, they just stuffed food into their mouths quickly, and set off immediately after eating.

While eating, Li Yuechen was thinking about how to fight after Yizhou fell.

At present, she can probably guess what Lun Qinling is thinking. It should be that she intends to occupy Yizhou City to defend the city.

The most difficult thing to fight in this era of war is siege.Even if the army is ten times more powerful than the enemy, I dare not say that we will be able to fight. Siege warfare is so difficult!

Just as he was thinking, the black-toothed Changzhi on the opposite side suddenly raised his head and asked, "Your Highness, I don't understand something. It is much easier for Lun Qinling to defend the city, so isn't he afraid that His Highness will trap him to death?"

Hearing this question, Li Yuechen shook his head with a smile: "Besiege and not attack, let alone whether I can support the logistics and food... Lun Qinling knows that I am not that kind of person!"

Li Yuechen can guarantee that Lun Qinling must have obtained a lot of information about him, and he should have done a detailed analysis of himself.

There is no need to deliberately inquire about the princess's deeds. The newspapers will publicize it every now and then, so while the folk prestige is high, the princess's character can be roughly seen.

For people like Lun Qinling, as long as they understand the enemy's character, they will formulate a special way to deal with it.

The fact is the same, what happened during the last flood fight is basically known to everyone in the entire Eastern Capital, and such information can naturally be sent to Lun Qinling.

Knowing that this princess valued the people of Tang Dynasty very much, that's why Lun Qinling used this method.

Raise your hand in the city, all the people in the city are hostages, so if this princess wants to use any Taoism that can make the enemy explode, she must be more careful.

After eating, Li Yuechen and others bid farewell to the governor of Maozhou, and then immediately gathered the army and set off, heading straight for Maozhou.

……

Geng Yunqiang led the troops of the reconnaissance brigade to set off first, gnawing on the mustache while hurrying along the road, while still advancing rapidly in accordance with the reconnaissance formation.

They were few and fast, and they arrived fifty miles outside Yizhou City in just two days.

The breeze from the top of the mountain blows, causing the withered and yellow branches and leaves to scatter and fall.

Geng Yunqiang put down the binoculars, turned his head and said: "There is no movement at the moment. The first battalion will follow me to disperse the surrounding area for investigation. The second battalion will find a suitable place to set up camp and establish a front-line headquarters at the same time!"

"Yes!"

The surrounding officers agreed, and immediately left to give orders.

After a while, a large number of soldiers kept their formation and left from all directions. They were all wearing camouflage clothing that looked like patchwork of cloth strips, and green plant juice was painted on their foreheads, cheekbones, and bridge of nose.

These juices are not found randomly, but are specially made by the Shang Yao Bureau, which not only has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, but also has a cooling and refreshing effect.

When using it, mix a little mud and apply it on the face. The effect is very good and it is not easy to fall off. The only disadvantage is that it is a bit troublesome to wash.

Once these soldiers dispersed into the jungle, it was basically difficult to see them.

Geng Yunqiang also personally led a squad to continue in-depth to investigate the enemy's situation.

They gradually advanced in a diagonal formation, because each squad was equipped with a military dog, so the dog walked in the front and was responsible for opening the way.

In the process of marching, the military dog ​​walking in the front suddenly stopped and turned to look at the owner.

These strictly trained dogs generally don't bark, and they respond differently when they find something wrong.

The soldier walking in front of Geng Yunqiang squatted down and looked at it, turned his head and said, "Brigadier, these footprints are new, someone should have walked by them not long ago...there are quite a few of them, not quite like Orion, they may be enemy scouts! "

Geng Yunqiang nodded: "Everyone pay attention! There may be enemy scouts!"

The people behind agreed, and then turned their heads to convey the order one by one.

Although I was careful, after searching for a long time, I didn't find any enemy troops.

Looking at the sun in the sky, which had already begun to slant westward, Geng Yunqiang decided to go back to camp first.

The team turned their heads and walked back, but before they had time to leave, the military dog ​​at the front suddenly lowered its upper body, bared its teeth and let out a deep roar.

Looking up in the direction, a group of figures actually appeared on the opposite side.

The number is about 30 people, wearing camouflage clothes transformed from woolen cloth, and all kinds of dead branches and leaves are tied to their bodies!
It's just that these people didn't smear mud on their faces, so they could see two obvious plateau reds.

When they found the other party here, the other party also found Geng Yunqiang and the others, so they raised their legs and walked over here.

Geng Yunqiang narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Get ready to fight!"

The soldiers agreed in unison, and the soldiers behind raised their bows and crossbows, while the soldiers in the front row felt that it was too late, so they reached out and pulled out their handaxes from the back of their vests.

Although Geng Yunqiang wondered why the other party was wearing this kind of camouflage clothes, but now that he met him, he couldn't help but fight.

"All the grenadiers retreat and are ready to launch grenades at any time... The enemy should be wiped out as much as possible, and if there is spare power, a few will be left alive, and no one will be let go!" Geng Yunqiang walked forward while giving orders.

The soldiers agreed and immediately changed their formation.

Now that the two sides have met, there is nothing to say, and they can only start fighting.

The Tubo soldiers on the opposite side saw that there were only a dozen people on this side, half less than them, so they were not afraid, but drew out their machetes and walked towards this side.

Maybe they also know that the reconnaissance operation in the jungle mainly focuses on a high efficiency and flexibility, so they don't bring long-handled weapons, so they only carry machetes, bows and arrows.

Now the distance between the two sides is very close, and it is almost imminent. They can shoot an arrow at most, and then they will face hand-to-hand combat.

"kill!"

Accompanied by Geng Yunqiang's low growl, the soldiers maintained a triangular formation and rushed towards the Tubo soldiers on the opposite side.

There are only two recruits in this class who have never been to the battlefield, and all the others have rich practical experience. Even if there are many opponents, they are not afraid at all.

The Tubo soldiers on the opposite side also rushed over, and the two sides collided in the blink of an eye.

Geng Yunqiang rolled on the spot, dodging the scimitar from the opponent, and then swung his hand, and the ax in his hand slashed directly on the opponent's thigh.

Although Li Yuechen didn't know medical skills, as an extreme athlete, he knew many vital parts of the human body.

I told them during the training that there is a femoral artery in a person's thigh. Once it ruptures, it is almost impossible to save it with the means of this era!
In order to improve their concealment in the jungle, these people naturally did not wear armor, not to mention axes, even ordinary swords could not resist them.

The vests worn by Geng Yunqiang and others have iron plates on the front and back to protect their torsos, at least a head higher than theirs in terms of protection level.

The moment the two sides came into contact, there were continuous screams.

Although there are more people in Tubo, their physical fitness is far from those of Geng Yunqiang who train every day!
The two sides collided, and in less than three seconds, Geng Yunqiang had knocked down two of them!

The soldier next to him was not bad either. He turned the ax upside down, and the pick directly penetrated the enemy's skull and nailed it into the head.

In less than 2 minutes, all [-] enemy troops were brought down, and there were no casualties on our side!
"call--"

A soldier took a breath and suddenly grinned: "Brigadier, let alone this ax is much easier to use than a horizontal knife!"

The grenadiers behind also came over: "Hey, these people are definitely not as hard-working as I am waiting for every day, and their combat effectiveness is not good!"

"Okay, have you forgotten that Your Highness said that arrogant soldiers will be defeated?" Geng Yunqiang snorted coldly, "Clean up the surrounding traces immediately, don't be discovered by the enemy, and bury the corpses on the spot. Take these two alive back for interrogation !"

"Yes!" The soldier next to him agreed, pulled out the engineering shovel from the side of the backpack, and immediately started digging holes in the ground.

Efficient actions allowed these soldiers to quickly deal with the scene, and passers-by would never be able to see that a small-scale encounter had just occurred here not long ago.

……

Four days later, Li Yuechen led an army of [-] to the established frontline headquarters.

While ordering the army to camp in place, he brought a group of officers to the camp that had already been built.

Liu Rengui, Hei Chi Changzhi and others opened their eyes wide the moment they entered.

This camp was actually built of pure wood, not the kind of linen tents that ordinary troops camped!

The surrounding walls are all wooden boards inserted into the reserved gaps, and windows are opened on three sides, so you can see everything inside without lighting candles at all.

The interior of the tent was divided into several areas, and the back should be the sleeping place for Li Yuechen, the general, and Fulai, who was in charge of serving.In the main hall, there are several folding chairs for the officers to hold meetings.

On the table in the middle is a sand table made of mud, on which is a shrunken Yizhou City and the surrounding forest environment.

Although it cannot be completely realistic, at least it can be seen at a glance what it is and what it is used for.

At the same time, this can also show that the surrounding environment of Yizhou City has been thoroughly understood by Geng Yunqiang and others in the past few days, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to do so in detail.

Not to mention the black teeth, even Liu Rengui, who is the master, felt a little surprised. I have to say that this apprentice brought him too many surprises.

"Okay, everyone, sit down!" Li Yuechen waved his hands, "Fulai, go and make a few cups of tea!"

"Yes!"

The officers under her command took their seats one after another, waiting for her to issue an order.

"Hongfeng, you came first, did you find anything?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, I was investigating the enemy's situation in the forest four days ago. I found a few enemy scouts and captured two alive. I have carried out investigations on the surrounding environment in the past few days. It is basically confirmed that the Tubo army is stationed in Yizhou City. To be on the safe side, we did not get too close to Yizhou City, but based on our observations on the mountain and the interrogation of the captives in the past few days, the enemy's defense should be..."

Geng Yunqiang fiddled with the black chess pieces on the sand table while explaining: "Most of the enemy's defensive strength is in the two northeast gates, followed by the south gate. The west gate's defense is relatively weak..."

Seeing Geng Yunqiang's explanation, the officers fell into contemplation one after another. While thinking about the enemy's behavior, they were also surprised by him.

This person seems to be less than 40 years old, but he has already analyzed the battle situation so clearly that he is at least at the level of a lieutenant in other troops!

Li Yuechen nodded: "This is not unexpected. When I come from the northeast, most of the defensive forces will naturally be placed here. At the same time, Ximen will make it easy for them to return to Tubo at any time...not to mention, if I want to If you lead someone to sneak attack on Ximen, you will definitely be noticed..."

Speaking of this, Geng Yunqiang suddenly interrupted: "Your Highness, those two survivors should go and see for themselves."

"Oh?"

Hearing what Geng Yunqiang said, she felt a little curious, what was there on the captive that was worth seeing for herself?

So he nodded: "Okay, then go and have a look!"

Li Yuechen got up and followed Geng Yunqiang to leave, leaving only a group of curious officers looking left and right.

These officers are all subordinates of Heyuan Jinglue Heizhi Changzhi, and they feel novelty about everything here, whether it is the camp, the sand table on the table, or even the map of Yizhou city hanging on the back of Li Yuechen's chair... …

……

Li Yuechen followed Geng Yunqiang to the place where the two prisoners were held.

This time they came over suddenly, and took a few people from Li Xian's Tubo captives to serve as translators.

In order to prevent them from betraying or making troubles, these people cannot communicate during the translation period. Afterwards, the translation results of the three people will be compared to achieve the most reliable results.

When they came to the place where the two captives were held, Li Yuechen suddenly opened his eyes wide when he saw the two of them.

The main reason is that the camouflage clothes worn by these two captives are a bit unbelievable. It is really unexpected that besides his own troops, the scouts under Lun Qinling are also like this!

But then he couldn't help grinning, it seems that Lun Qinling's learning ability is good.

It's a pity that I only learned the superficiality and didn't learn any essence, but this also shows that Li Yuechen's actions are likely to affect the military system of the world.

"The enemy soldiers you encountered at that time were all dressed like this?" Li Yuechen asked.

"That's right!" Geng Yunqiang nodded, "I think it should be the three who died in the battle..."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Well... It seems that this Lun Qinling can't be kept, this time it must be defeated in one fell swoop! Let's go, discuss the matter, and see how to fight next."

"Your Highness, do you want these two..." Geng Yunqiang raised his hand and gestured on his neck.

"It's not necessary..." Li Yuechen shook his head, turned around and looked in the direction of Tubo, "That piece of land will sooner or later be incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and sooner or later these people will be my citizens of the Tang Dynasty, so take them back first. .”

"Yes!" Geng Yunqiang agreed.

After returning to the command post, Li Yuechen sat down and said, "Everyone knows the current situation. If you have any opinions, please express it clearly. We will try to defeat the enemy as soon as possible!"
