Chapter 659 Battle Report

The food in the army is actually not bad. Although the taste may be far worse than that of restaurants, there is no shortage of meat and vegetables, and they are absolutely full.

Everything else is easy to say. After staying in the army for so long, Shen Hao still can't get used to the soup cakes here. The taste of the soup is very strange. It's no problem to fill his stomach, but he won't eat soup when he has a choice. pie.

Three sheets of noodle cakes and a large pot of boiled hind legs. The noodle cake is relatively dry, and the teeth are tested. The hind leg meat is chopped into fist-sized pieces and eaten with a fork. And then paired with a large pot of tea, it would be a meal for Shen Hao, the chief inspector, to beat his teeth.

Of course, Shen Hao had something to eat, but Zhang Ye and Li Jiang sitting across from him didn't. They just stood there with their hands tied, taking time to let Shen Hao know what happened during the ten or so days that Shen Hao had closed him.

Yes, something big happened.

On December 20th, Cheng Jinhou's troops fought a field battle with a main force mixed with barbarians and multi-ethnic groups 30 miles east of the newly established "Menqian" military stronghold. They fought from morning to afternoon. After dropping thousands of corpses, they retreated. But that night the barbarians launched a surprise attack, and the "Shimen" military stronghold closest to the "Menqian" military stronghold was also besieged by a large-scale barbarian main force.

The battle lasted for three full days, and the siege of Shimen was finally resolved after 20,000 reinforcements from Jianchuan arrived.

Then the newly aided army pushed forward again, ready to take advantage of the situation to solve the hard battle of attack and defense in the "front of the door" army stronghold. However, they encountered an ambush at the forty miles between Shimen and the front of the gate, and the 20,000 troops lost more than 6,000 soldiers before they withdrew to Shimen again.

However, the difficulties in the military camp in front of the gate dragged on for another two days. After that, the military camp in the middle of Jianchuan moved forward, forcing the barbarians to help defend, and the siege in front of the gate was relieved due to the strength of the troops.

On December 25th, the middle and lower Jianchuan military strongholds began to launch a massive counterattack, pushing the front line forward by 50 to 40 miles. However, due to the interference of the barbarian cavalry and the involvement of supplies, they did not stay in the camp. Instead, they chose to retreat after fighting outside the barbarian camp.

"So the counterattack has kicked off?"

"Yes, my lord. The front line of Baitouxia and Huzhuyuan also launched an active offensive against the barbarians for the first time, but the intensity is not as strong as Jianchuan."

Shen Hao gnawed a bone, threw it away, took a big sip from his teacup, and said, "Where are the barbarians? How did you deal with it?"

"Jianchuan fought back and forth. According to the news sent back by the inspectors in Shimen and the two military strongholds in front of the gate, the barbarians fought fiercely. If one of us dies, they will dare to die three or four. Keep filling up. The corpses are all over the place, it's like crazy."

"Are they from the previous ethnic groups?" Shen Hao is used to talking about dead people and corpses while eating.

"Yes, mainly red-eyed wolves, three-eyed wolves, tusked elephants, and snakes, as well as some pigs and rats."

The wolves and rats accounted for a large part of the complex ethnic distribution of the barbarians, and they were also the largest in number. They have strong survivability and fertility, and they like to live in large groups. But the wolf clan and the mouse clan are also subdivided into many sub-clans, such as the three-eyed and red-eyed are two of the wolf clans. In addition to the subdivided sub-clans, there are also clan divisions. An ethnic group may belong to several or even dozens of clans.

The red-eyed wolf clan that erected the Frost Moon flag in Sangbiqiu was the Frost Moon clan, and it was also the most powerful clan among the wolf clan. According to the documents in Xuanqingwei, the Shuangyue clan had two barbarian kings, and this is the third time they want to set up a royal court and become king.

But the wolf clan alone is not limited to the three-eyed clan and the red-eyed clan, and it is not limited to the Shuangyue clan. Even the wolf clan is not the only powerful race among the barbarians.

So Shen Hao is very curious about what is going on inside the barbarians now that the Jing old dynasty has started to tighten money and food nationwide to deal with the possible long-term war cloud?

Many prisoners of war have been captured, and there are also good torturers in the army. But it's a pity that we didn't catch a high-level big shot, and the little soldiers don't know much. One thing we can confirm is that the situation of "quickly unifying opinions and then establishing a royal court" has not occurred within the barbarians. , but still wrangling.

"Where is Huzhuyuan? Did you find the red-eyed wolves or tusked elephants?"

"No. It's similar to the previous situation. The red-eyed wolf clan is mainly in Baitouxia and Jianchuan, and the gray-skinned monkey clan and bear clan are mainly participating in Huzhuyuan."

"It seems that their differences are much bigger than ours."

"Yes, my lord. At present, Zuo Shuai's strategy seems to be mainly aimed at Jianchuan and Baitouxia. The fighting intensity on the front line of Huzhuyuan is actually the lowest. According to the report from the inspector over there, Huzhuyuan is currently damaged by the battle. The total number of soldiers in the army is less than 4,000."

Although it is only to attend the military strategy meeting, the benefits are obvious. Now all the military strategy Shen Hao in the army can get it from the inspectors in each army. Of course, these news are top secret. Even within the Supervisory Envoy, apart from the person who handled it, there will not be more than four people who know the whole picture of the reported news.

"That is to say, Zuo Shuai deliberately put pressure on the Frost Moon Clan and maintained a tacit understanding with the Hongtu Clan?"

Shuangyue refers to the group of barbarians headed by the red-eyed wolves. The people who are currently fighting in Jianchuan and Baitouxia in the old Jing Dynasty are members of the Shuangyue clan. The Bear Clan and Monkey Clan in Huzhuyuan both belong to another huge clan system, that is, the Red Earth Clan. The Red Earth Clan is headed by the Bear Clan, and the Monkey Clan is attached to it. At the same time, they have always been at odds with Frost Moon, and now they are the ones who resist the Frost Moon clan's establishment of the royal court.

"The subordinates thought that maybe it was not just a tacit understanding, but also helping the people of the Hongtu clan to preserve their strength." Li Jiang knows military affairs, and he understands it very well. The situation in Huzhuyuan in his eyes is much more interesting than it seems on the surface. .

"Oh? You mean that Zuo Shuai is planning something outside the battlefield?"

"Yes, my lord. According to the habits of the barbarians and the sayings they got from the prisoners of war, they have always had the final say whoever has the biggest fist. The Frost Moon clan is the most powerful among the barbarian clans, and the red soil is second. But Frost Moon can't Completely suppressing Hongtu, that's why he has been delaying the establishment of the royal court. If the Frost Moon Clan consumes a lot of power, but Hongtu remains almost motionless, then their strengths may be reversed, and there will be good news at that time. I watched the play."

Seeing the sinister smile on Li Jiang's face, Shen Hao also smiled unconsciously. When he was in Fengsun City, he often saw this kind of smile on the faces of those killers under his command, and he seemed to like this kind of smile himself.

Is there anything more fun than making the enemy mess up or even fight within themselves?

"That's right. Be sure to keep this information confidential. In addition, you were asked to create a file to record the mistakes and omissions of each army's military strategy and the performance of the duties of the supervising army. Have you spread it?"
