Jia Huan wanted to laugh when he saw Zhou Tong's expression change.
He coughed twice and said: "Okay, this matter is settled. After we go back, you can give orders. We will go out of the city on time tomorrow to snipe the Southern Barbarian Army."
Although Zhou Tong was very unwilling, he did not object again.
Because he knew very well that if he dared to continue to oppose, Jia Huan could use military law to chop off his head.
At this time, he was feeling desperate. He felt that if he left the city tomorrow, it would be difficult to come back.
One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted!
However, even though we know this, there is no way to escape it.
There was no talk all night, and at five o'clock the next day, the Red Flame Army lit a fire to cook.
After all the soldiers had eaten, the army quickly returned to the barracks to put on armor and lead troops, and then quickly left the barracks to assemble and get ready for battle.
Jia Huan, on the other hand, met several more soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion. He took out the map and studied it carefully for a long time before he knew what was going on.
Next, Jia Huan summoned Zhou Tong and ten thousand captains again.
"This general has just received a report from the scouts. The Southern Barbarians have sent a team of ten thousand people to the north five miles outside the city, intending to attack our Daxia people."
"Captain Han, please lead the scout battalion brothers. Leave the camp now and follow my instructions."
Captain Han said loudly: "The last general has received his order!"
After saying that, Commander Han performed a military salute and strode away.
Jia Huan then ordered: "Vice-General Zhou Tong received the order. Two-quarters of an hour later, you will lead a total of 7,000 people from the first to the 7,000-man team to attack the Nanman 10,000-man team."
Zhou Tong clasped his fists and said, "The general will receive his order at the end!"
Jia Huan pointed to a place on the map and issued a military order: "Captain Lu, lead your troops and take the left road after leaving the city. Stop here and wait for the Southern Barbarian wolf army to attack the left wing of our army. Follow my instructions." Act.”
Captain Lu Qianfu: "The last general has received his order!"
Jia Huan pointed to a place on the right and said: "Captain Song Qianfu, you lead our troops, take the right road after leaving the city, stop here, and wait for the Nanman ambushing wolf army to attack the right wing of our army, follow the instructions in advance Act.”
Captain Song Qianfu: "The last general has received the order!"
After all the generals had accepted the order, Jia Huan said: "This general will go out of the city with you, and then I will lead the personal camp to Fangshan and personally command you to fight."
"At that time, all the ministries will act according to my flag. If they don't see the flag's instructions, they will act according to my advance instructions."
"Yes, General!"
This time, Jia Huan decided to leave the city, occupy the high ground, and take command personally.
Once the war breaks out, the soldiers and even the generals below are on the battlefield, and everything they see is full of enemy troops.
When people are in the game, it is difficult to judge the enemy's combat intentions, as well as information about the enemy's battle formations, weaknesses and other information.
At this time, it is crucial that someone can occupy the high ground and command accurately.
In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Jia Huan decided to go out of the city to take command personally.
Two quarters of an hour after the scout camp left the city, Jia Huan followed the army out of the city.
Then after leaving the city, he parted ways with each department and led the regiment quietly to Fangshan.
…
In the sky, several falcons were flying freely.
They are not looking for prey;
However, the prey they seek does not require them to catch or hunt.
They are falcons domesticated by the Nanman falcon tribe. On the battlefield, their mission is to accurately feedback the enemy's movements to their masters.
They have no natural predators in the sky, and nothing can block their view.
All enemies have nowhere to hide in front of them.
Soon, these falcons discovered the movements of the Red Flame Army's scout camp leaving the city.
Then these falcons immediately reported the direction of the scout camp to the Southern Barbarian King.
At this time, the Barbarian King Meng Lu sat firmly in the central military tent, and his whole body exuded the light of wisdom.
He couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, Daxia, the new general of the Red Flame Army, is indeed quite capable."
"He has only been here for a few days, but he has already figured out the deployment of our southern barbarians. He even boldly launched an attack on the east and west for us, encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao."
"This little guy actually secretly divided his troops into three groups. One group is preparing to burn our food and grass. One group is preparing to ambush our military equipment, and the other group is preparing to attack one of our garrison points."
"And these three places are the weak points of our defense. If it weren't for the falcon, he might have succeeded."
"And once these places are attacked, I'm afraid the vanguard troops sent north will have no choice but to return."
"Tsk, tsk, this little guy does have some abilities! It actually makes me love talents."
After hearing the words of the Barbarian King, a barbarian general said: "Let him be as evil as a ghost, but he will still drink my mother's foot-washing water."
The Barbarian King glared and said: "Young girl! Go to the ball! If you can't speak, just shut your mouth. Do you think this is a good thing? This is calling me a sissy!"
The few barbarians below suddenly screamed, and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.
The Barbarian King ordered: "Uru, you lead an army of ten thousand and call on these little guys who burned down the granary."
"Batu, you lead your own soldiers to greet the little guys who are preparing to attack the Arms Department."
"Mammoth, lead your own soldiers to greet the little guys who are attacking the garrison here."
"Remember, capture as many as possible alive. If you can capture their general, that would be the best thing."
"I heard that their general is the number one scholar in the Great Xia Dynasty who has won six yuan in a row. He is a smart man who has not been born in thousands of years!"
A barbarian general couldn't help but said: "Capture this champion man and let him advise the king, it will definitely make our southern barbarians even better."
The Barbarian King laughed and scolded: "That guy is so unlearned and has no skills. He usually tells you to study more but you don't listen. Now you are embarrassed again."
This group of barbarian generals laughed strangely and led their soldiers away according to the order of the barbarian king.
Although the Nanman invaded Daxia with an army of 200,000, they also occupied more than a dozen cities in Daxia.
And every city must be defended by separate troops.
And a part of the soldiers must be assigned to transport grain, grass and other various supplies.
Therefore, at this time, their forward positions did not accumulate too many troops.
At this time, in order to prepare for Daxia's sneak attack, basically all the troops were dispatched.
Jia Huan, at this time, had led the military camp and quietly climbed to a high ground in Fang Mountain.
Then he took out his telescope and began to observe the battlefield.
Ancient battlefields often turned into a pot of porridge after fighting. The difficulty lay in the lack of timely and effective means of communication.
On the battlefield, everything is changing instantly.
As the commander-in-chief, he may have discovered the fighter plane in time, but if he cannot convey the order in time, the fighter plane will also be fleeting.
Jia Huan formulated some flags in the Red Flame Army.
And each leader of a thousand-man team will be equipped with a telescope.
Then each department can communicate with each other through semaphores.
In this way, timely communication between various departments can be ensured.
Of course, Jia Huan was not the first to use semaphores. This was something that had been popular in wars for thousands of years.
However, there were no telescopes before, so it was difficult to see clearly from too far away.
With telescopes, we can communicate at greater distances.
Although there are still disadvantages, for example, you have already communicated through semaphore.
But at this time, if the other party didn't look over, or didn't see it, it was just a wink to a blind man.
But after all, it is still much more efficient than traditional semaphores.
The scout battalion set off first for two quarters of an hour. At this time, through the telescope, Jia Huan could vaguely see the movement tracks of the Nanman soldiers.
The activity trajectory of the Nanman soldiers was exactly in the direction of the feint attack of the Red Flame Army's scout camp.
This was enough to prove that his plan was successful.
Although the falcon's field of vision is wide, as long as it moves during the day, it is basically impossible to hide from its field of vision.
But it is an animal after all, not a human being.
It was completely unable to determine the precise number of people or whether the enemy was feigning an attack.
In this case, it can be used to convey false information to the Nanman, thereby achieving the purpose of deceiving the enemy.
At this point, the Red Flame Army faced only the 10,000 Nanman troops in front and about 4,000 wolf troops ambushing on both wings.
In this battle, the Red Flame Army fought against 14,000 barbarian troops with 10,000 troops.
Although the number of the barbarian army is almost half that of the Red Flame army, this is already the best result that can be created at present.
If you can't win in this way, then there will be no need to continue fighting outside the city.
Jia Huan still has confidence in the Red Flame Army. Although the Red Flame Army is a new army, Jia Huan believes in Zhou Tong.
With Zhou Tong here, he felt relieved.
Next, Jia Huan focused his attention on Zhou Tong.
He has created the best environment for Zhou Tong, and now it depends on Zhou Tong's performance.
Zhou Tong led 7,000 Red Flame Army soldiers and quickly caught up with the 10,000 Nanman troops in front.
After all, the two sides are only five miles apart.
Although the Nanman army bypassed the city and headed north, they were also prepared for the sniper attacks of the Daxia army, so their advance was not very fast.
This team of ten thousand people is actually more like a bait thrown by the Nanman.
If the Daxia army doesn't care, they will continue to go north and plunder the people of Daxia.
And if the Daxia army goes out of the city to stop them, their task is to entangle the Daxia army.
Soon afterwards, the Southern Barbarians would send out a steady stream of reinforcements, and eventually they would eat up Daxia's troops leaving the city.
Therefore, when Zhou Tong led the Red Flame Army in constant pursuit, this Nanman army of ten thousand people had already discovered their whereabouts.
Then this 10,000-strong army quickly stopped advancing, quickly turned around, and set up their formation, preparing for a decisive battle with the Daxia army.
The order given to him by the Barbarian King was that if the Daxia army came after them, they only had to entangle the Daxia army and not let them go.
But the barbarian of this ten-thousand-strong team didn’t think so.
Seeing that the Daxia army was less than ten thousand people, the barbarian general was ready to eat this Daxia army alive so that they would know how powerful their Southern Barbarian army was.
Seeing this Daxia cavalry approaching at lightning speed, the barbarian general also began to get excited.
He called Ula Ula and ordered his barbarian soldiers to prepare to shoot.
The two armies faced each other, with bows and arrows taking the lead.
Before engaging in hand-to-hand combat, use long-range attacks to consume the opponent's vitality.
Both sides thought so.
The next moment, the space between the two armies suddenly began to rain with arrows.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The shrill sound of breaking through the air was shocking, and casualties began to appear on both sides!
Strictly speaking, it was the barbarian army that suffered casualties.
Because there is a difference in the range of the bows and arrows between the two sides.
The range of Daxia's bows and arrows is at least thirty or forty meters longer than the range of the Barbarian army's bows and arrows.
The Daxia Red Flame Army happened to be stuck outside the range of the barbarian army's bows and arrows.
This is like two shooters on the bottom lane in League of Legends. A shooter with a range of 550 can block a shooter with a burst range of only 500, and the opponent will receive arrows in vain without being able to return the shot.
This is the situation on both sides now.
Zhou Tong had thought of this kiting tactic as early as after the Red Flame Army changed their uniforms.
Although the Red Flame Army is cavalry, it is charging.
But they actually started to slow down at the end. Zhou Tong took the lead and happened to be stuck at an extreme position.
Of course, the Red Flame Army did not stop completely. They chose to move in a horizontal circle.
Just by blocking the distance like this, a few can shoot seven or eight rounds, which can achieve the purpose of reducing the number of barbarian soldiers without any damage.
Although Zhou Tong is still under thirty, he is a veteran on the battlefield and has experienced hundreds of battles.
Although the Red Flame Army is a new army, it has no experience in battlefield fighting before.
But under the leadership of Zhou Tong, these new recruits began to gradually adapt to the rhythm and became more and more skillful in their movements.
The Daxia Army's arrows are very sharp, but the quality of the Barbarian Army's light armor is still a bit poor. After all, they have only just started a few years ago and cannot make light armor that is too strong.
Therefore, under the constant movement and shooting of the Red Flame Army, the barbarian army began to continuously reduce its numbers.
After three or four rounds of shooting, hundreds of barbarian soldiers were injured by arrows.
These barbarian soldiers have fought several battles since they invaded Daxia, but this is the first time they have fought so hard.
For a moment, he was stunned by the Red Flame Army.
The barbarian general couldn't help being frightened and angry. He hurriedly directed the barbarian army to change direction, and then charged towards the Red Flame Army at all costs.
After firing another round of arrows, Zhou Tong threw away his bow and arrows, raised his spear, took the lead, and led the Red Flame Army to charge over.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
At this time, Jia Huan, who was watching the battle with a telescope on Fangshan Mountain, began to feel nervous.
In this war, the Red Flame Army's foreplay was perfect.
However, what really determines success or failure depends on this round of close combat between the two armies.
The quality of the Red Flame Army's individual soldiers is definitely better than that of the barbarian soldiers.
The morale and morale of the Red Flame Army are no worse than those of the Barbarian Soldiers.
However, the Red Flame Army is a new recruit after all, and in terms of battlefield experience, it is absolutely incomparable to the Barbarian Army.
Jia Huan only hopes that the soldiers of the Red Flame Army can adapt to the battlefield as soon as possible.
After all, if you don't experience war, you will always be a recruit.
Soon, the two sides collided and started fighting fiercely.
It was like two rapids colliding. At the moment of collision, there was a moment of stagnation.
However, the next moment, one party began to collapse.
The defeated side was the barbarian army.
At this moment, the barbarian army did not lose in morale, strength or courage, they lost in weapons and armor. (End of chapter)
