Chapter 91: Turn

"How is the situation?" Since his injury, Ye Tao has nothing to do with the battle. According to Xu Ping, although the other party was not a top master, the palm power he used was really vicious. Xu Ping lost his own skills at all costs to stabilize Ye Tao's injury, but now he lacks medical treatment and medicine, so he just stabilizes it. If you want Ye Tao to recover from his health, you must wait for the enemy to withdraw and summon a certain imperial physician from the inner court from Danyang.

Ye Tao was still concerned about the situation, but he could only understand the situation by visiting him every day.

"It's still the same. Although we are sieging the city every day, we really fear Zang Keming that night. Without the elite troops like Moshui Camp, we will rotate the defense in other troops rotation projects. The original scattered soldiers have been formed into temporary five flag teams, and two of them have selected strong sergeants to rotate with our own heavy infantry. However, after all, they are not used to it. The two flag people probably have to wait on the top of the city for an hour and then have to change and rest. However, with the rotation of heavy infantry, everyone is under pressure.

It was much lighter. I pulled down the crossbows of the archers and formed a special crossbow team. The battle and defense at the city wall were very useful, but the arrows were consumed too quickly. In the workshop, the arrows could not be supplied, and some arrows were sharpened and the wood was used to make do. We have been saving our own special arrows, and I didn't dare to use them too much." Qiu Haohui reported in detail. The Blood Qi Army's spared no effort on the armor kept the casualties of the Blood Qi Army at a very low number these days, which made him embarrassed to face friendly forces.

"By the way, the crossbow cannon is very useful. Although the turbulent bomb is almost used up and it is troublesome to get the stone bomb, compared to the Divine Arm Bow, this thing is really not picky about food, and the bricks removed can be used. In the past few days, it has been considered to be a crossbow cannon. Zang Keming has put in a lot of effort. He has not succeeded in reorganizing the catapult array several times. He has given up in the past two days. We can withstand the soldiers just climbing the city to attack." Qiu Haohui said with great interest.

These days, the bifurcated guns have become one of the most popular weapons. Although they are now distributed on four city walls, a total of 200 bifurcated guns are too urgent and have many flaws, the role they play in this stalemate situation cannot be erased. The materials used by these bifurcated guns are inconsistent, the determination of the torsion spring is not accurate, and the shooting accuracy is somewhat problematic compared with the sample Ye Tao made. However, the equipment flag teams of the Blood Qi Army have the most sophisticated and complex ballistics and basic mathematical foundations of this era. They quickly redefine the ruler on different bifurcated guns according to the actual situation.

The right torsion spring has a counterfeit product with a stability difference of more than 10% and now the hit rate is quite high. It is not picky about food. It is even more loved by everyone. Now the soldiers and civilians who are carrying stone bullets under the city walls must also take the job of demolishing houses that are unoccupied, constantly hanging walls onto the city walls, and then the soldiers operating equipment on the city walls can knock down pieces of appropriate size according to their needs... On the contrary, it is the Divine Arm Bow. Since only a few remaining arrows are left, everyone has basically stopped using them, and they will pull out the Divine Arm Bow unless they encounter particularly valuable targets.

"Xi Ling has increased his troops to more than 50,000. Although it has been getting more and more difficult in the past few days, it is still possible to withstand it. It depends on the performance of others." Qiu Haohui said this. During the days when Ye Tao was unconscious, he had already taken over the command of the entire Baishi City. Because, in these days, Yu Kang and Pan Xiangmin saw what kind of army the Blood Qi army was.

It goes without saying that the equipment and soldiers are treated, but in addition, the Blood Qi Army has too many details that are absolutely invisible in other places. From combat, combat preparation, logistics equipment and implementation, daily rest adjustment, rhythmic rotation of troops, officers' care and motivation for their subordinates, soldiers constantly communicate with each other how to effectively kill the enemy, officers constantly summarize the outcomes and losses of every day and even every hour... It surprised all the defenders and officials of Baishi City, including Yu Kang and Pan Xiangmin, were surprised that when the future was uncertain, the Blood Qi Army had already discussed what kind of equipment needed in the future. Everyone proposed to independently form a force for logistics projects including material transportation, ordnance repair and manufacturing, food and camping arrangements, bridge erection and other logistics projects, which could comprehensively improve the efficiency of combatants.

After taking over the defense of Baishi City, Qiu Haohui reorganized the scattered troops, merged the scattered troops of the Baishi City defenders, and re-appointed officers and non-commissioned officers. The logistics supply and wounded rescue matters of Baishi City were unified... With the style of the Blood Qi army, the precise and strict military mobilization and rotation of troops, although there are fewer and fewer soldiers in Baishi City in the past few days, the situation has improved.

The people of the Blood Qi Army were waiting for the situation to change. Since Ye Tao had conceived that very difficult but worth trying tactic, everyone had another expectation in their hearts: not just to drive the Xiling army out of Dongping, if possible, they could be left behind and annihilated in the vast area between Xunshan Pass and Baishi City. And this tactic naturally would not be implemented by a unit like the Blood Qi Army with such a few people. The key is to convince Zhuo Mang.

So, a small scout unit, with the Blood Qi army plan, finally met with the main force of the Dongping army after leaving Danyang for a long time with a reckless and reconciled force.

Because of conveying military information and persuading Zhuo Mang is of great importance, although Chi Lei is responsible for the scout team and has a heavy responsibility, he still personally led a six-person team to escape the Xiling army and came to the camp where Zhuo Mang was stationed.

"The two armies checked the mansion, and Chi Lei, the captain of the Blood Qi Army's scout flag team, met the general." The arrival of Chi Leidi made Zhuo Mang and the officers and soldiers in the camp a little excited. The Chi family is a famous general in Dongping. Among the nearly 100,000 troops that Zhuo Mang had gathered around him, there were quite a few who were Chi Lei's father's old subordinates. Generals that Chi Lei had seen or heard of could fill several tents. He was summoned by Zhuo Mang almost immediately.

"Good boy, have you become promising." Zhuo Mang is still very familiar with Chi Lei, a naughty boy who was famous in Danyang. After not seeing him for a while, Chi Lei's change made him lit up. Chi Lei's original frizzy temperament seemed to have changed a lot. Now, he has an equally ostentatious sharpness on his body, and there is an indescribable feeling of confidence. The battlefield is indeed a training person. When Chi Lei takes on the job, it is so important that he takes on any work.

When mistakes may lead to the army being blocked by the enemy and falling into a desperate situation, Chi Lei turned his whimsical imagination into countless ideas, put away all his carelessness and impatientness, and worked hard to do every detail. When he saw that he could actually achieve such a level that he could not imagine, he understood that he had found his own way. This self-discovery based on actual achievements made Chi Lei very different from the original.

"General, the Blood Qi Army is indeed responsible for the responsibility. But I will talk about the apology after the war. I came here for two things. One is to report to the general the situation of the Blood Qi Army these days, as well as the enemy situation we discovered during the continuous battle and reconnaissance. The other is that our Blood Qi Army has a plan, a big plan, and hopes to give the general a look. If it is feasible, please let the general implement it."

Then, Chi Lei respectfully presented two thick documents to Zhuomang.

Zhuo Mang unveiled his first military intelligence document. After reading a few sentences roughly, he couldn't help but be shocked. He looked at Chi Lei, but Chi Lei's expression was calm and there was no abnormality at all. The Blood Qi Army had no need to falsely report the results, but the achievements of annihilation of 30,000 enemies these days are still a bit unbelievable.

Qin Ziming, the veteran general who has been a deputy to Zhuo Mang for decades, came up with a smile. After reading a few words, he took the document from Zhuo Mang in surprise and read it out loud in front of the officers all over the tent.

Speaking of military intelligence documents, the format of military intelligence documents that Dongping has just confirmed is still to copy the Blood Qi army. The Blood Qi army has many children, and according to modern terms, it is that the average level of education is high. In the close exercises and exercises, there are a large number of military intelligence documents to be written. The officers in the Blood Qi army began to play randomly. Writing military intelligence documents into parallel prose and rhymes is not a skill, and writing them into metrical verses is just a bit difficult. Later, military intelligence documents are used to express calligraphy to show their familiarity with allusions, and joke with colleagues and even guessing riddles emerged. Basically, eight out of ten people could not understand the military intelligence documents. Then everyone held a serious and tense meeting under the leadership of Ye Tao, who had a weak foundation in ancient literature, and determined the format of military intelligence documents in the Blood Qi army. Basically, they referred to modern news reports, focused on the front, and divided the format of military intelligence documents into basic parts.

First of all, whether the task is completed, how many results have been achieved, and how much losses have been suffered. Then, after completing the task, the attitude and actions of the head of the department. Has it taken advantage of the situation to take action, or wait for orders, or needs to be repaired, etc. Then, the entire stage of combat progress is described in detail, to describe the dynamics of the enemy and us in this stage, and to clarify how the current situation is formed. Then, the head of the department is asked to recommend and opinions on the next step of action. Finally, the person who wrote the document was allowed to express his emotions, whether he was ready to die generously, shed tears and express his determination, or something else. Anyway, everyone can just glance at it and pass by. This format of military intelligence documents is clear at a glance. After the Blood Qi Army formulated the text format and had a considerable sample, the Dongping Ministry of War immediately adopted this standard and began to implement it throughout the army.

In the first few sentences, the number of annihilated 30,000 enemies really shocked everyone. At the same time, the losses of the Blood Qi Army were basically negligible in everyone's eyes.

"Chi Lei, tell me in detail. How did you fight these days?" Zhuo Mang said after pondering for a while. It was not that he did not trust this number, but how to annihilate 30,000 enemies while saving himself, which shows how powerful the Blood Qi Army has better than the pure enemy annihilation figure. He glanced at the battle plan that Chi Lei brought and evaluated the ability of the Blood Qi Army, which was absolutely necessary for this battle plan.

"Yes." Chi Lei stood up and bowed his order steadily. Then, he began to explain the entire process from the Blood Qi army to the battlefield from Pengxi to the forceful delivery of the Blood Qi army's infantry, archers and equipment soldiers to Baishi City in detail.

Naturally, Chi Lei's commentary would not be the dry sentences in military documents, but they were not teahouse-style storytelling, or even the style of the Yi Zhanlou Interpretation Hall, but a relatively detailed introduction. As the eyes of the entire Blood Qi Army, whether in order to preserve the precious scout cavalry or to better perform the battlefield alert task, Chi Lei did not let himself and his Scout cavalry intervene too deeply in the battle on the central battlefield. He just described the actions of the Blood Qi Army that he knew, and mixed them with some of his own reconnaissance and exchanges with his colleagues after the war. Chi Lei was actually responsible for screening opponents for the Blood Qi Army, and needed to accurately evaluate the combat effectiveness of each team of enemies appearing in their vision. Then, select which opponents to eliminate them and how to better implement the strategies and tactics they formulated in advance, that is, Ye Tao, Chi Yun and Qiu Haohui.

Everything in the Blood Qi Army was going very fast, marching, changing from marching to combat, fighting, and getting out of battle. And with continuous combat, when the Blood Qi Army got used to all this, their series of tactical actions went faster. It was so fast that the Dongping officers present felt a little incredible.

"You mean, you have never left prisoners, and all the enemy commanders were crucified?" The only thing that made everyone a little uncomfortable was the iron-blooded characteristic of the Blood Qi Army in this regard. The regular army in Dongping probably would not have done so well. No one expected that there were too many pampered young masters' Blood Qi Army who would do this.

"It's the land. We can't take prisoners. Letting off the prisoners may expose our direction of transfer. It will also give the enemy more abundant troops. Once the battlefield activities are no longer open, we will definitely not be able to fight a larger war of attrition. Besides, it is very useful to anger the enemy. At the beginning, several groups of enemies were sought after. As a result, we were waiting to solve it with ease. Apart from these reasons, killing the prisoners does not violate the marching guidelines of the Dongping Military Department. In fact, there is no content on this in the marching guidelines. The commander of the leader of the army has the final say." Chi Lei did not feel cruel or embarrassed at all. They had already unified their thoughts. In order to win, all this was necessary.

"Who came up with this plan?" Zhuo Mang asked with a sigh.

"It's Ye Tao." Chi Lei replied without hesitation, and then added: "After this big framework, we conducted several rounds of chess deductions internally. Then we detailed the plan, but without Ye Tao, there would be no plan."

Zhuo Mang nodded, handed the document to Qin Ziming, and said, "Everyone circulate it. After an hour, click the general and set off, and then follow this plan."

Zhuomang called Chi Lei to the military tent where he lived and said sadly: "Chi Xianping has two good sons. Although it is too dangerous for you to do this, it is indeed a good idea."

Ye Tao's plan to conceive the land must include several key elements. The first is that the Ningshi City of Baishi City must persist until the end of the entire battle without reinforcements. Ningshi City is much more sufficient than Baishi City in terms of the number of defenders, military equipment and city defense preparations. After Baishi City obtained the support of the Blood Qi Army, the chance of persisting independently to the end was much greater.

The second key is to use superior forces to attack Jiancheng. The best situation is to directly capture Jiancheng. Then, a certain scale of decisive battle with the Xiling army beneath Jiancheng City is to attract the Xiling army to the greatest extent. Let the Xiling army be at stalemate on the front line of Jiancheng City. If the Micheng City cannot be captured as soon as possible, then you must also attack the city, attack the ground, and take a decisive battle posture at the hem of Jiancheng City to attract the Xiling army, which now has the advantage of military strength on the battlefield. But whether the decisive battle is carried out depends on the last key: Xunshan Pass.

Ye Taodi's idea was that once the Xiling army began to concentrate on the front line of Miancheng, how much force could be in Xunshan Pass be? In this case, the Blood Qi Army could take advantage of the situation and rush to Xunshan Pass. The Blood Qi Army did not have any advantage in conducting this combat action, whether in terms of military strength or their own characteristics, this point was determined. The Blood Qi Army, which is now a full cavalry unit, is definitely not suitable for siege and grabbing the pass. They must obtain support from other aspects, especially the infantry units that have strong combat power and are very familiar with Xunshan Pass.

The contents questioned from officer Xiling gave them the possibility of obtaining a reinforcement: the guards of Xunshanguan who have now become prisoners of Xiling.

"I'm afraid this is unlikely..." Zhuo Mang objected to this point, "You are a little too naive. Indeed, these people are now being housed in Juyan Town, and there is no possibility that there are too many Xiling troops stationed in the bullet-hit force, but don't expect these people to be able to fight after being captured for so long. In the prisoner-of-war camp, how much food do you think the Xiling army can control the life and death of my Dongping soldiers? Over the past few days, I guess I have lost two laps of hunger and hung half-dead. Moreover, in the prisoner-of-war camp, the original thorns are more likely to appear, and they will not listen to your orders at all. Although it will not be bad for you, it may be passive and slacking off. For them, the idea of ​​living must be the first."

Chi Lei was shocked and hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhuo, what should I do? Didn't you say this is a good plan? If there is insufficient troops and there are still internal problems, then Dai Yun and the others will be in danger."

"The troops are still sufficient. The news I received is that Chi Yun has already brought the soldiers, servants and children of various sects supported by various families, and they are already on the battlefield. If it were normal, they should have already joined you, right?" Zhuo Mang's tone was a bit envious, "Your brother has put a lot of energy into ordering the army to go down. Whether it is equipment or ability, these people are so amazing. Among the more than 3,000 troops, there are about twenty who can be said to be first-class masters and quasi-first-class masters. The face of each major family is really not small."

Chi Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle Zhuo, let me go back. I am still worried that Dai Yun and his group of people, the command and control of the scouts, are too complicated. My deputy... is still a little tender. Moreover, I also want to go to Baishi City to see it."

"Can you contact Baishi City?" Zhuo Mang asked. After two consecutive troops were added, the Xiling army stationed 60,000 troops under Baishi City. Zhuo Mang wanted to send soldiers into the city to convey military information or understand the situation in the city several times, but under the strict defense of the Xiling army, he was still discouraged.

"Yes!" Chi Lei said, "You can use a light box to contact a group of commanders who ambushed outside the city in the evening. It is more than ten miles apart. When Xiling saw it, he thought the lights were gone. But this group of people separated from the army. I asked them to send the military information back, and then the military information should be delivered to you."

Zhuomang nodded and said, "You are only a few people, so don't sway around. You have arrived at me and let you go out. If something happens, how can I explain to your father? The scouts, left and right troops, front troops, central troops and rear troops, each sending scouts to summarize the results of the investigation. I will give you a thousand cavalry, are you willing to temporarily take charge of the reconnaissance work for me? If this method of your Blood Qi Army is really useful, after the war, I will ask the Ministry of War to set up a special branch of scouts in each army."
