Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 827 Suddenly no longer able to fight

Yang Shida naturally understood the look in this commander's eyes, and he also knew clearly about Chuanzhou's military strength.

This 40-strong army is true.

It's just that the combat effectiveness of these county soldiers and county soldiers cannot be said to be high. It can only be said that they are all composed of a group of young men. Perhaps the county soldiers will have a certain combat effectiveness, but the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers cannot be guaranteed.

As for the 20-strong army in the so-called Zhengnan Camp, it was not that he looked down upon them, but spies had already understood their combat effectiveness after repeated inspections.

The actual combat effectiveness of the so-called Zhengnan Camp army was completely inferior to that of the heavenly soldiers of his Taiping Dao Kingdom.

If the two sides fight head-on, he is confident that he can lead his 20-strong Heavenly Army to defeat the 20-strong Zhengnan Camp.

But the current situation is that Wen Lun is as steady as an old dog on this road, or he knows the virtues of his army, and they all stick to the city and camp.

In this way, it doesn't matter if the combat effectiveness is low, and defending the city is not a field battle. In addition, he also moved the generals, soldiers, and their families who defended the city to the back, so he is not afraid that the soldiers will not fight attentively.

And according to this commander, there are thirty or forty camps along the way. Even if he does not leave many troops behind in these camps, each of them is calculated as 1000 people, which will reduce the number of troops under his command by another thirty or forty thousand.

In this way, when he arrived at Jianping Pass, he only had one hundred thousand troops at his disposal for fighting.

If the attack fails at that time, Lu Wenlun may not want to push back.

But he still felt something was wrong.

He looked at the map and pondered, while the people in the handsome tent had different thoughts, but they did not dare to speak out at this time.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Shida suddenly discovered where the problem was.

The commander said that he knew about forty forts, but according to the current layout of Daqian, there simply could not be so many forts arranged in the remaining sections of the road.

So he suddenly looked up at the commander and asked:

"You said there are over forty forts, but from the first to the third line of defense, you only have six forts. From the third to the fifth line of defense, there can't be thirty forts at this distance?"

"So, can you explain?"

The commander was stunned when he heard this, and his face was very surprised.

"impossible!"

His tone was very firm, "The first to third lines of defense cannot only have six camps."

"Although I don't know much, what I can be sure of is that there are absolutely no six camps for our army in these two sections of road."

"As far as I can see with my own eyes, the number of troops passing through my camp is no less than ten thousand."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the handsome tent took a deep breath.

You must know that this commander is only the commander of the second line of defense, which means that between him and Guang'an City, the Zhengnan Camp has no less than [-] troops deployed.

But now the army they found was only 6000 to [-] people.

So what about the rest?

Thinking of this, everyone was on pins and needles.

This was a big mistake, which meant that at least 6000 to [-] people from Daqian disappeared in front of them.

Based on this calculation, are there so many troops that have not been discovered between the second and third lines of defense?

If this is true, once the army attacks Jianping Pass and these troops suddenly appear, their own food routes may not be completely cut off.

Food and grass for 10,000+ people is not a small amount. Once it is cut off, the entire army will be defeated within a month.

Thinking of this, Yang Shida seemed to understand that he seemed to have missed something, and quickly ordered.

"Order all the scouts in the army to dispatch and conduct reconnaissance along the main roads."

"The investigation scope is centered on the main road and has a radius of thirty miles!"

"Order the vanguard to suspend the attack!"

As soon as Yang Shida's words came out, everyone understood what was going on.

After all, when the army is marching, the reconnaissance along the way is only ten miles, so there is no need to go further.

Moreover, they are marching along the main road. They can scout the front and the two sides, but it is impossible to scout that far on both sides of the main road.

This does not mean that they do not know that enemies will appear on both sides, but that there is not enough terrain on both sides for the enemy to deploy more troops.

As for how far it is, just forty miles, then if the enemy has a large army, they won't be able to get there in one day.

So just make sure there aren't a lot of enemies hiding along the way.

And a mere 2000 people is nothing to an army of hundreds of thousands.

But now, the situation is completely different.

This Lu Wenlun seems to have a new way of playing.

So everyone agreed.

"promise!"

As the order was issued, not to mention scouts, even many generals personally sent out to investigate.

In just two days, the commander discovered dozens of fortresses hidden in the mountains, forests and lakes.

The furthest distance between these camps is 35 miles from the main route where the army marches.

And because there are only one or two thousand troops stationed in these camps, if they really want to launch an attack on the main road, they can easily reach it within a day.

Not only that, they also learned even more shocking news from the caught tongue.

According to the accounts of these prisoners, some of them were local villagers, some were from the so-called Zhengnan Camp, and some were so-called county soldiers.

These people with different identities have different tasks.

For example, for the local people, their families were moved to the rear. Then Lu Wenlun told them to follow the command and hide in the mountains to farm, hunt and catch fish. Wait until spring, and attack the regulations under the leadership of the general soldier. The location is fine.

The Zhengnan Camp was different. They didn't explain much, but their purpose was Guang'an and the second defensive fortress that was breached.

As for the county soldiers and county soldiers, the county soldiers can return to the original route after winter when there is no war or order.

The so-called war means that the Taiping Heavenly Army attacks them, and the order is for them to attack the grain road.

No matter which one of these two it is, you can evacuate at any time as long as it is completed.

The county soldiers left half a year's worth of food and grass behind, allowing them to attack the designated destination on the first day of spring.

After synthesizing this information, everyone, not to mention Yang Shida, was so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat.

Although these forts are inconspicuous, their numbers are terrifying.

As for attacking these fortresses, I'm afraid it doesn't mean that the entire army will be dispersed.

After all, these camps are located in places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Attacking them requires several times the force.

Not only that, these people's back roads are also very flexible, and they can run away if they can't be beaten.

But if you don't attack, it won't be a problem now.

The problem is that it will definitely not take four or five months for his army to reach Jianping Pass. Then after the spring, these people will attack their grain roads together.

By then, I am afraid that I will be trapped and die in Jianping Pass.

Just this battle, when can we fight it like this? ? ? ?
