Since Qin Feng entered Beidi, Li Zhang and Qin Feng have always relied on Jinyiwei messengers to maintain close communication. This winter war has already been well planned, and Li Zhang knows all the details, so when it is implemented, It also seems to be at ease.
According to Qin Feng's strategic thinking, the entry of logistics troops heralded the true unfolding of this war.
The situation in the entire Zhuozhou has become clear. The light cavalry troops and the main force have penetrated directly into Daqi County at the northernmost point of Zhuozhou, dividing the entire Zhuozhou into two. The two important front teeth towns of Sangqian and Nanhua are being targeted by the left and right wing troops. The land is surrounded by an isolated city. Whether it is receiving support from the outside world or sending troops to support the outside world, it has become a dream.
The strongholds and towns across Zhuozhou did not dare to send troops rashly because they could not get in touch with the two important towns of Sangqian and Nanhua. They could only adopt the safest method to defend their own territory.
The Expeditionary Brigade carried out a large outflank from the left wing and advanced in a roundabout way. Not to mention how many city strongholds it could capture, at least the entire western front of Zhuozhou was under military pressure from the Expeditionary Brigade and would never dare to act rashly.
On the right-wing eastern front, guards from the Tianji Battalion have been wreaking havoc at many points, so much so that the urban strongholds on the eastern front of Zhuozhou dare not send troops out of the city rashly.
As a result, Daqi County was not only isolated and helpless, but the offensive route opened by the Qingqi vanguard and the main force also became relatively safe. At this time, the restless King Ming volunteered to take over the task of consolidating the route and went all the way north. , eliminate potential threats, establish a stronghold, and engineers will follow up to further consolidate the stronghold.
This line was not only an offensive line, but was gradually consolidated into a communication and logistics transportation line.
Finally, the logistics troops entered the scene.
If it is summer, the enemy's cavalry can take advantage of its high mobility, and the logistics troops must not dare to advance easily. Even if they advance, they must be protected by a large number of troops around them.
But long before the Winter War began, logistics was Qin Feng's focus of research.
Beixi County itself is a huge business hub. The surrounding business roads are built in all directions. The business roads leading to the border can not be described as a "broad road".
The materials gathered from Daliang to the northern border were finally concentrated in Beixi County, and were transported to the border in a very short time by taking advantage of the trade routes.
The border pass itself is also a huge material transfer station. The shortest trade route has been built between the pass and the Eagle Ridge stronghold.
And around this trade road, there are more than a dozen military garrison areas, large and small. Although the largest stronghold only has a few hundred people stationed, it provides security for the trade road in disguise.
The materials coming from the pass will be delivered to Xiongying Ridge as quickly as possible, and then enter Zhuozhou via Xiongying Ridge.
For the strongholds established in the front, several strongholds will be selected as transfer stations, and manpower and defense forces will continue to be added. Materials will be transported forward in batches, forming a major artery that continuously supplies blood to the battlefield ahead.
However, the most feared thing about this material transportation line is that it will be harassed and attacked by enemy forces. For this reason, most of the money spent in this winter war was used to consolidate the logistics transportation line!
At this time, King Ming had already led his army into the hinterland of Zhuozhou. On the one hand, he ordered the soldiers to rest where they were, and on the other hand, he began to plan the location of the stronghold.
Since this area is a vast wasteland with no troops stationed at all, it is impossible to seize ready-made strongholds and can only establish and build them by ourselves.
King Ming delineated a piece of land on the original transportation route. There was a large amount of stone available nearby, which was enough to build a temporary stronghold using local materials.
As a result, as soon as King Ming finished demarcating the land, soldiers came on horseback.
There were a total of six people on the other side. The leader was a guard from the Tianji Battalion, followed by a young man wearing only a breastplate, followed by four Beixi soldiers.
Prince Ming recognized at a glance that this young man was Lu Ming, the leader of the Tianji Camp!
Lu Ming also saw King Ming, and when he was still far away, he quickly got off his horse and ran up on foot.
"My lord, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you still strong?"
How can anyone ask someone if they are well as soon as they come up?
Hearing this simple and even comical greeting, Prince Ming not only didn't mind it, but instead raised his head and laughed.
"Hahaha, I have stayed in Fuyun County for so many years, and I have been pampered in Beixi County for so long. My body is about to fall apart. If I don't beat it quickly, I'm afraid it won't be long before I become a cripple."
"Although the weather is cold and freezing, which is a bit difficult for my old bones, the more I fight, the more I feel my blood is boiling!"
Among those who hold important responsibilities in Beixi County, Lu Ming is the youngest.
He used to be a poor man wandering around Kyoto. If he hadn't been dug up by Qin Feng, he would have starved to death on the streets by now.
Now that he has become the leading figure in the Tianji camp, Lu Ming still remains true to his original intention. Although King Ming is quite enthusiastic and easy-going, Lu Ming is still cautious and bows his head quickly to salute.
King Ming didn't care about Lu Ming's restraint, and asked casually: "You kid, you came here in a hurry, do you have some urgent military situation?"
Lu Ming shook his head and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, military affairs are not my responsibility. I just went ahead and came to investigate, and I happened to meet Your Majesty resting here."
Hearing this, King Ming couldn't help but frown: "Let's investigate first?"
"Boy, did you come here non-stop after you came to Zhuozhou?"
"I have just led my army here. You are in charge of logistics. Are your legs and feet a little faster?"
Faced with Prince Ming's question, Lu Ming couldn't help but blush, and said in embarrassment: "Junior did take some risks, but the Marquis of Qin once said that logistics is the most important thing, and there must be no slacking off."
"According to the instructions of the Marquis of Qin, material transfer points in the rear have been established in batches. The first small group of craftsmen have arrived at Shuanma Mountain."
Shuanma Mountain is less than fifty miles away from here. It was once guarded by more than a hundred Beidi soldiers and was a small stronghold.
Because in summer, there is a large area of grass near Shuanma Mountain. Whenever war horses travel here, they will rest their legs and feet temporarily to let the horses eat some grass on the spot, so it is named Shuanma Mountain.
Just yesterday evening, King Ming captured Shuanma Mountain. According to expectations, the engineering troops would not arrive until three days at the earliest.
result……
At this moment, the first batch of engineering soldiers has arrived at Shuanma Mountain?
Is this speed a little too fast?
King Ming has been fighting for half his life, and he has never seen a strong man advancing so fast... Bah, where are the strong men? They are called engineering soldiers!
Not only are they well-equipped, but they are also skilled in craftsmanship.
