South of Hong Dynasty and north of Pengshan Mountains. The pass that originally dominated Pengshan no longer existed. It looked like a corpse trampled by horses, and it looked particularly dazzling hanging in the mountains.
Starting from Pengshan Pass and going down the mountain, a mountainous area that looks like it has been plowed by a plow is full of large stretches of tents, extending to the end of the mountain.
These tents have a common feature, that is, they are all gray, and their shape is not the pointed cone shape on Hong Chao's side, but a weird shape similar to the closed eaves.
And there will be many flagpoles standing among these numerous tents. The flag is made of red clouds, rolled up and surrounded by a scorching sun.
This is the Red Cloud Rolling Sun Flag, and it is also Yunyan's battle flag. Wherever it goes, it means that Yunyan's army is like a blood-stained cloud, and everything under the sun is within the killing range.
In the middle of this large tent stood a large tent. There were more than ten people in the tent talking about something at this time.
The first one looked as strong as a giant. Even sitting on a big chair, he is more than a head taller than an ordinary adult standing on this side. If this man stood up, he would probably be over a foot tall. Except for him, everyone in the tent was huge, very different from the people of Hong Dynasty.
The reason why the Yunyan people were called barbarians by the Hong Dynasty was largely because the people of Yunyan, regardless of gender, old or young, always showed the kind of wild nature in the wilderness. Coupled with the vast cultural differences and the Yunyan people's habit of eating their enemies during the national war, the derogatory connotation of barbarian even exceeded that of the word "animal".
Every one of the Yunyan people is huge, even apart from being humanoid, they are not the same kind of creatures when compared with the people from the Hong Dynasty.
Not only does the appearance look different, but other aspects are also very different.
For example, Yunyan's physical strength is extremely strong. Especially when ordinary soldiers fight, when both sides have similar geographical advantages and similar weapons, one Yunyan's soldier can replace four to five Yunyan's soldiers. Death.
This innate physical advantage and disadvantage will gradually be equalized as the level of individual strength increases.
Warriors, warriors of the same level, a Yunyan warrior can exchange one for three in a life and death attack. When it comes to the Qi Practitioner level, although Yun Yan's people still have the upper hand, it's not that exaggerated. With one against two there are, but few. More importantly, it is the Qi practitioner who can stabilize Hong Chao's side under the conditions of the same realm and the same magic weapon.
It is said that this gap caused by differences in species still exists even when one reaches the Dao Dan realm.
In fact, it is not only the people of the Hong Dynasty who give derogatory nicknames to the people of Yunyan, but the people of Yunyan also give the people of the Hong Dynasty a similar derogatory nickname, called "Beiyang", the sheep of the north.
Sheep are the most important meat livestock in Yunyan. Using sheep to refer to people of the Hong Dynasty shows the cruel meaning.
"Commander! Now that it has been ten days since Pengshan Pass was cleared, what should be rested has been rested. Why are we still not leaving? Wouldn't it give the Beiyang more preparation time if we delay further?"
But before the person at the top could speak, another person on the side interrupted impatiently: "Let's go, let's go! Can you people in the Shengle Club be more discerning? The army has been dragged at Pengshan Pass for a long time. For more than half a year, there were nearly 100,000 casualties, and the army suffered serious losses. You have recovered after ten days of rest, but the soldiers below are not there yet!
Besides, Beiyang has been intensively arranging defenses from Pengshan City to Tianfeng Plain for more than half a year. How many forts, how many offensives, how many insidious traps did you rush forward without knowing it clearly? Can you use your brain for this special code? "
"There are still troops that need to be replenished. It will take time to gather the troops coming from all over for reinforcements. Ten days is too short."
"Bah! You guys understand, don't you? Instead of waiting here, shouldn't we fumble for information while fighting? It's the most uneconomical situation to let the opposite Beiyang continue to prepare as leisurely as he is now!"
The discussion in the big tent is actually more appropriately described as "quarrel".
This situation would never happen in the Hong Dynasty's military, but it was the normal state that everyone in Yunyan was accustomed to. Because although these people present are all under the command of Hongyunjuanri Banner, they were gathered together temporarily and only came together during the war. They usually have their own affiliations. And they all have their own playing styles and habits, so it's normal for them to have differences of opinion after getting together.
The person at the top has long been accustomed to the quarrels between the people below, and often the result of these quarrels will form the most feasible military strategy direction after eliminating most risks. And it is better to decide the winner in the quarrel than to argue later during the execution.
"Okay, in addition to the lack of troops and horses, the lack of intelligence from the front, and the fact that the soldiers are exhausted and need to rest, we also need to organize food and fodder."
The person above interrupted the quarrel of everyone in the big tent with his words, because he found that there was nothing new in the quarrel, and if he didn't care, there might only be curse words exchanged. So I opened my mouth and said something that everyone ignored.
"Liangcao?! Commander, are you saying that the food and grass have to come here through Pengshan?!"
"That's right."
"Does this need it, Marshal? We have fought all the way through all the previous wars with fighting support. If we build food and grass supplies, this will create a huge drag on our advancement! Marshal, think twice!"
This time no one made any noise. Except for a few who were deep in thought and did not express their opinions for the time being, everyone else was opposed to the idea of establishing a food and grass supply line. This is completely inconsistent with Yunyan's previous fighting style, and the Yunyan people have never even built a long supply line in such a cross-border war.
The leader raised his hand, and the people below quickly stopped talking.
"This time, the Northern Sheep also learned to be smart. In addition to building forts, fortifications, and traps, they also started the strategy of clearing the country with strong walls in the Tianfeng Plain. So imagine rushing forward as quickly as before and relying on the abundant food in the Tianfeng Plain. The idea of supplying war to feed war may not work.
This is the fragmented information that was sorted out when cleaning up the remaining documents at Pengshan Pass. Later, spies will be needed to confirm.
However, when it comes to large armies, one should not rush forward despite knowing the danger. So I decided not to make any big moves until I had enough food and grass in hand.
But some small-scale attacks are still possible. Aiming at some corner forts, let the Qi practitioners from various departments form sharp knives and try first to see how capable the Imperial Sect Yunzong of the Hong Dynasty in the past few decades still is. "
While talking, he pointed with his hand, and some signs placed on a huge stone sculpture sand table in the middle of the tent were lifted up by an invisible force and placed on the two corners of the sand table.
"The purpose of using these two forts as a breakthrough is not to annihilate the enemy, but to open a passage to facilitate our spies to cross the Pengshan City defense line and cut into the Tianfeng Plain."
