Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 485: As fast as the wind
Ning Wanjun who received this news was not surprised.
That night, Jinxia’s Left Army set up camp under her command and marched fifty miles to a small town called Wangjiang.
This town is also the only way to go to Baihe City from west to east. Due to its close proximity to the border, evacuation was organized as early as two weeks ago. The local residents have basically evacuated into Baihe City, and there is no one now. live. Precisely because of this, the branch army of the Privy Council did not station in the suburbs, but went directly into the town to camp.
According to previous investigations, the number of this army is about 20,000. It is mainly composed of garrisons in the Su and Ling states. The leading general is surnamed Fei. This can also be seen from the distribution of camps-clearly an army , But separated into two parts, the north and the south, and each set up an independent sentinel and watchtower.
And all these details were seen by the owl demon.
"Are you saying that the defense in the north is weaker?" Ning Wanjun confirmed the final information before the formation.
"Going back to your Highness, I saw that there were not many camps set up in the north. Many soldiers entered the houses directly, and some people fought for the house." Wu Lie chose the words carefully to avoid any omissions in the words. , "But there are much more tents in the south, and they are basically concentrated in the open area. There are also a lot of buckets around, which looks more orderly."
One month ago, he was a little demon that no one cared about. He ran around for the survival of himself and his sister. He did not expect to become a scout for the Jinxia Army a month later, and the information he provided guided tens of thousands of people. Action, this change is so great that he couldn't even think of it before.
It is impossible to say that there is no pressure.
Even now, he would feel short of breath and stiff hands and feet when standing in front of the Princess Palace. Although Qongqi was powerful, that was only for the monster group. The woman in front of her was different. She was a real royal family, and even Qingjian Yuyi, who was afraid to look straight at the demon, would obey her orders. In the face of such a superior person, it is impossible not to feel the slightest fear.
But when I thought of Master Li's high salary of fifty taels a month for this job, his sister Wu Lie could eat seafood rice every day, Wu Lie still muster the unprecedented courage to agree, and has persisted until now.
Fortunately, although Her Royal Highness is majestic, it is not harsh. When confirming information, she mainly asks and does not set him too high. This makes him a layman who knows nothing about marching. Now Gradually mastered some detection tricks, such as judging the enemy's situation and weaknesses from the camp layout.
"The bucket is to prevent a sudden fire in the camp, and even more experienced generals will notice this when setting up a camp." Qiuyue pondered, "but the camp in the north does not have this arrangement-considering that Lingzhou is wet all year round, The requirements for arson are really not high, but they are now in Shenzhou, and the climate is more similar to that of Suzhou, so they should emulate their colleagues. This shows that the communication between the two generals is not frequent, and it can even be said that there is a barrier between each other."
"It is normal if there is a gap. Think about it, will we be under the command of Suzhou or Jinzhou when we are in Leizhou?" Ning Wanjun chuckled, "Xia Fan often said that a regime should be used to command the army as much as possible, and Not relying on the personal fame of the generals to command, it is estimated that this problem is considered."
Therefore, the army needs a more reasonable promotion system to ensure the vitality of the entire group—Xia Fan’s conclusion was also approved by the princess. However, due to the approaching war, this reform plan was arranged after defeating the Privy Council.
"Anyway, as long as Master Xia said, His Highness will not disapprove of it." Qiuyue said that this has already been taken care of, "All in all, the enemy's arrangement gave us an excellent opportunity to attack. Their reconnaissance The ride was only released for ten miles, it should be unexpected that we would suddenly appear here."
"That's right. In the eyes of General Fei, the Jinxia Army might still be stationed in Baihe City." Ning Wanjun couldn't help but raised her mouth. This is another point of her pride, that is, marching at night is no longer an unrealistic fantasy, but has become the norm for the Jinxia Army.
In the past, even the well-trained Leizhou frontier army could not perform large-scale group operations at night.
If you want a night attack, you must either ambush in advance, or be an elite team of hundreds of people. Some people have even studied it specifically that the combat distance at night should not exceed ten miles, that is, the degree to which the torch can be seen at a glance. If any staff officer dared to propose a main attack of tens of thousands of people after nightfall, the commander-in-chief would definitely hang him on the flagpole at the entrance of the camp.
because just marching can disperse the army.
Once the troops are dispersed, it is extremely difficult to get them together.
This has nothing to do with training-even if there is more daily training, as long as people's vision can't penetrate the night, and the supervising army can't detect the leavers in time, this problem can't be solved.
What changed this situation was education.
Of course, it is Xia Fan who made this point. He asked the army not to devote all its energy to the reclamation of wasteland during the renovation period, but to spend at least half of the time to learn literacy and writing, even the old frontier army. not excluded.
Many people in the army said that this move was difficult to understand. They practiced killing all their lives, but they didn't expect to learn from the scholars who started with pens. The school promotes universal education, and what it collects is some dolls. The vast majority of people in the army are already grown-ups and usually call themselves big bosses. It is really hard to get them to use their brains.
In the end, Ning Wanjun relied on her own prestige to promote it~IndoMTL.com~ Within half a year, this move had unexpected results.
After some people have the ability to read, the spread of books and weekly newspapers in the army has gradually increased.
More and more soldiers know how to check maps and past war reports.
The conversations between the generals and the soldiers are obviously frequent.
Especially in the battle of Shenzhou, every command in the army will be lowered to the level of corps leader. Soldiers are no longer as they did in the past. What task to perform. If the past march was blindly following, now they will know the purpose of the trip, the above strategic intentions and what they are going to do before they set off.
The threshold for the march at night was thus quietly crossed.
Each team will consciously confirm whether their teammates are separated. Even if someone is thrown off, they know in their heart where the army will converge, so that they will not become stragglers aimlessly.
The eyes cannot see through the night, but the mind can penetrate the barrier. An army that knows its purpose of combat, even if it is not holding advanced weapons in its hands, is also the threshold of a modern army.
Ning Wanjun, as the commander, feels this change most strongly-she feels more and more that Jin Xiajun seems to have become a flexible arm, as long as an idea comes to her mind, this arm can realize it for her the goal.
"Let the people below prepare, and the offensive will start as soon as the early morning arrives." The princess made a decision, "I will personally lead the team to conquer the more tightly guarded southern camp."
