If the Central Plains are used as the battlefield, Jiang Pengji can stick to the city wall, avoid confrontation with the cavalry, and use other methods to attack the northern border.
Now the northern Xinjiang is the main battlefield. Such an open terrain is completely a paradise for cavalry to gallop and come and go freely.
If Beijiang wants to do this, there is a very important premise—
They have so many cavalry!
Since the horse plague a few years ago, the cavalry in the northern Xinjiang has been severely damaged and has not recovered.
Beijiang Huangting and Cangzhou Mengshi colluded to buy mares at a high price, which greatly increased the output of foals on the horse farm, but it also took time to train foals. Jiang Pengji made a time difference and chose the most embarrassing time for Northern Xinjiang to send troops, forcing Northern Xinjiang to face the battle in embarrassment.
At this moment, I don't know how many nobles in northern Xinjiang cursed Jiang Pengji's ancestor for the eighteenth generation.
When is it not good to start a war, but choose this time when it is neither up nor down.
Either later, wait for the Northern Xinjiang to recover most of its vitality, and then do a decent job.
Or earlier, Northern Xinjiang would not suffer such a big loss and deal with Mengshi, and the funds saved could be invested in military expansion.
Well now, Beijiang's vitality has not had time to recover, and the funds invested have also been lost.
"Liu Xi is too deceiving—"
The ninth prince was so angry that he shredded the secret report.
Paralyzed - she actually dared to fight!
Hit and hit, that woman even used their second prince to sacrifice the flag.
When did Beijiang suffer such grievances
When have you been beaten like this
"Dai Wang, I am willing to lead the army to repel the willow thief."
Wu Liba is not only a wise man in the northern Xinjiang, he is also a rare wise general in the northern Xinjiang. The commander has rich experience and is fully qualified to lead an army. However, the ninth prince is afraid of the relationship between Wuliba and the third prince, and does not dare to let go of military power. Another person was chosen to be the commander-in-chief, and Wu Liba was the assistant.
Because the King of Northern Xinjiang was paralyzed by a stroke and could not handle the affairs of the state, the Ninth Prince succeeded as the King of Northern Xinjiang and temporarily took over the duties of the King of Northern Xinjiang.
Whether Wulipa can be the commander-in-chief still needs the approval of the Ninth Prince.
Needless to say the result - Wu Liba took the initiative to ask Ying but got this result, and he was naturally resentful.
I am not angry, but now is not the time to care about personal gains and losses. The most important thing at the moment is to repel the attacking willow thieves.
Rao is so, when Wu Liba knew who the commander of the three armies was, his eyes were red with anger.
The commander-in-chief was Wulipa's political enemy, the second greatest hero who assisted the ninth prince to become the acting king, Harencha.
The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and Harencha and Wuliba were absolutely incompatible.
It would be nice not to hold each other back, where can you expect them to go hand in hand
The Ninth Prince did not notice the eye contact between Harencha and Wulipa, and suddenly threw a big thunder.
"Gu intends to go on a personal expedition to boost the morale of the three armies!"
Driving in person
wipe-
Harenza and Wuliba cursed inwardly in unison.
Is this bastard trying to do something
I don't know what it means to be outside, what does Junling do
Not to mention, the Ninth Prince, as the acting king, will follow the commander-in-chief or will the three armies obey him after he is on a personal expedition? Not to mention the ninth prince leading the army to fight, he is not as good as the second prince, the second prince has conquered the tribe for gold plating, but the ninth prince does not understand anything.
Taking 10,000 steps back, he said that the ninth prince arrived at the front line and didn't care, he generously gave the right to send troops to the commander-in-chief and did not interfere in the war.
This is also not good, the battlefield sword has no eyes, if the nine princes are accidentally caught by the enemy, is this here to help or to cause trouble
Wulipa and Harencha reached a unified opinion for the first time to stop the Nine Princes.
"Your Majesty, the royal expedition is related to the fortune of the country, so please think twice before proceeding on your behalf—"
If you can win, no shit.
If he loses, the king will be caught and killed, no matter his life or death, it will bring a huge morale blow to Northern Xinjiang.
No matter what level it is, today's northern Xinjiang has not yet reached Chengdu, which needs to be conquered on behalf of the king. It can be avoided if it can be avoided.
The two of them didn't know that the ninth prince wanted to be a thief, but he was actually guilty of being a thief.
If all the troops are transferred to the front line, he will sit in the imperial court, which means that the troops around him to protect him will be greatly reduced.
If his brothers joined forces to attack the imperial court, wouldn't he be dead
Rather than doing this, he might as well follow along to the front line, as it can boost the morale of the three armies, and secondly, he can restrain the generals and reduce the collusion and disagreement of the entire army. If he can defeat Liu Xi, he might be able to be promoted from the king to the real king!
You won a big victory in the first imperial expedition, what does this mean
It fully shows that he is the king of northern Xinjiang chosen by the grassland god, the lord of destiny!
Except for Harencha and Uliba, the other ministers kept talking with similar meanings—
You just stay in the imperial court and don't jump around, leave the war to the adults, and the little boy should just dig the mud.
The ninth prince became angry when he heard it, and insisted on driving the expedition in person, no one would be able to persuade him!
The arms could not twist the thighs, so the ninth prince insisted on chasing him personally, but Wulipa and Halenza could only agree with a gloomy face.
Anyway, the king is not just a son like him.
Without a ninth prince, there is still a string of princes waiting to ascend to the throne.
Northern Xinjiang is a vast territory, mostly flat grasslands, Gobi, glaciers, swamps, and deserts.
After leaving the border of Northern Xinjiang and Dongqing, the farther north you face, the flatter the terrain and the wider the field of vision.
Even though Sun Wen didn't stay in the northern Xinjiang for a long time, he did a lot of homework, as if he had lived in the northern Xinjiang for decades.
Jiang Pengji listened carefully to his suggestions, and considered adopting or improving them.
"... Going forward, the terrain will become more open and the mountains will be flat... This place is extremely suitable for cavalry to gather and charge... According to the news sent by the scouts, they have already set up camp by the water. The water here is rich and the terrain is open, and it is not easy to attack... "
Jiang Pengji led the vanguard battalion and cavalry to the destination, and it took a day for the large troops and logistics to arrive.
"Luishui?" Jiang Pengji stared at the river on the map in a daze, "Northern Xinjiang camps by the water?"
Sun Wen was puzzled, he said, "According to the scout's report, it is indeed the case."
Setting up camps is also very particular, from the selection of camp locations and the distribution of camps, this is a knowledge.
It is not only necessary to consider the size and orientation of each camp to achieve the purpose of resisting enemy sneak attacks, but also to consider how to quickly transmit information to ensure the rapid transmission of battlefield information. In addition to these, there must be clean water sources near the camp.
Jiang Pengji frowned, and she asked Sun Wen, "Do you know the length, width and origin of the water in Zaidao?"
Sun Wen is a smart person, Jiang Pengji can guess part of it without asking too clearly.
Feng Zhen on the side had a lot of ideas, and he also thought about it, "What does the lord mean - cut off their water source from the source? This is probably not possible, they know more about the distribution of water sources in northern Xinjiang than we do, and if this river is cut off, they can choose another option. One, can't be prevented."
The water source in northern Xinjiang is not abundant, but it is not a time of extreme water shortage.
Now that spring has just started, with the arrival of spring and summer, the glaciers in the upper reaches will melt, and the river will become more and more abundant.
Sun Wen frowned, "Could it be poisoning?"
Jiang Pengji clicked, and she said, "Our position can be downstream. If the upstream is poisoned, our soldiers will suffer too."
