"Sir, brothers, please report! All the intersections leading to and from Tianqi Mountain are guarded by officers and soldiers!" 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 arrived.
"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 troop 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 sending it into the enemy's mouth? Therefore, they can only rely on their war horses now!
"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. Therefore, 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 "the average daily marching speed reaches 90 to 95 kilometers. Its assault on northern Russia only took 2 months and 5 days, with an average daily speed of 85 to 90 kilometers; to capture southern Russia, it only took 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."
In addition to 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 the 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, and with 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 traveled 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 Mengwu was approaching Tianqi Mountain, he would inevitably hide for a day of rest. Without a day's rest, even if these three thousand black knights came, they would not be Yang Su's opponent.
"Sir, this stronghold must not 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 stronghold was dangerous, staying here would only be a dead end.
There are only 700 people in the entire village, 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.
Beyond that, it’s the human heart. More than 10,000 cavalrymen came in force, and the bandit soldiers below were already in panic. 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 plunder the people one day, he was slaughtered by Xu Chu and others. After that, Xu Chu, Feng Qianlang and others occupied this place.
If Su Lie had built the stronghold from the beginning, Su Lie would definitely 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.
Relying on the stronghold to defend, and facing famous generals like Yang Su, the enemy is full of experts. Even Su Lie can't guarantee that he can defend for four days when he has few defensive equipment.
Therefore, Su Lie proposed to abandon the stronghold. Today's Abandoned Mountain is so big, and the mountain village is only a small part of it. Even if they don't have a mountain village, they can 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 alive. The abandoned mountain was so big that day, and Yang Su's ten thousand people seemed to be a lot, but if they were thrown into this mountain, they wouldn't even be able to get out of the waves, and it would 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 their side will not only not be of any help, 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.
Wang Yu himself couldn't say these words, but Zhao Kuangwei could. After all, Wang Yu had just promised Xu Chu two days ago to help him properly arrange the brothers.
However, when Zhao Kuangwei said this, Su Lie's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Sure enough, when Zhao Kuangwei said these words, Xu Chu was a little unhappy at first. If he hadn't arranged for these brothers yet, he would have already disbanded the village and went in search of the vast sea, so why wait until today! But now, Xu Chu is asked to abandon his brothers, how can you please Xu Chu!
Xu Chu objected, and Wang Yu could only give Su Lie a look. Su Lie is different from Xu Chu. The two of them have a commander and a fierce general. Compared to Xu Chu, Su Lie is more rational at many times and knows when to make what choice.
"Brother, the enemy army is so large that taking these brothers will harm them. Rather than doing this, it is better to let the brothers choose to stay or stay on their own..." Su Dingfang admonished 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 you don't want to follow them anymore, they have some savings in the village these days, and they will share it with their brothers when the time comes.
"But now the way 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 exit. I am afraid that these brothers will have to be picked up by the officers and soldiers as soon as they show their faces.
"Don't worry, brother!..." 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 would probably be to get some information from these brothers, rather than kill them.
For Yang Su, killing the last group of bandits didn't mean much to him.
Of course, that's what Su Lie said, but it's not necessarily clear what he was thinking in his heart. For these famous generals, as long as they can win in the end, some sacrifices are not unavoidable.
