Chapter 1331
When everything came to peace, the soldiers quickly gathered and evacuated the battlefield. After a last look at the burning shed, Tabulagi held the reins in his hand with satisfaction and turned the horse's head away. His arrangement was successful again. The Tang army's logistics supply line was indeed fragile. The poor road traffic conditions limited the mobility of the Tang army's troops. The deeper they went south, the more difficult their logistics supply was. They adopted this method of building simple supply transfer stations along the way, but they also brought disaster to them. Without sufficient military support, these transfer stations became the best prey for their commando.
Gillie slapped the horse whip in his hand into the grass next to him. The green fence thatched grass turned into several pieces and scattered on the ground. His eyes looked at the situation in front of him and almost sparked. The remaining wooden frame was pitch black and wisps of blue smoke were still coming too late! It seemed that this opponent was really a bit tricky. The few baits he set up could not impress the other party, but chose the supply point closest to the border as his target. This guy's courageous moves were not ordinary, and he seemed to have to think about it carefully.
"Deputy Legion Commander, the battlefield has been cleared, and more than 180 people left by our army have all died. The enemy has twelve bodies left without time to take them away. It is initially speculated that the enemy has retreated southwest, and the incident was about two and a half hours ago."
The situation report made Gillette even more irritable, but he knew that he was impatient now. The more impatient he was, the easier it was to fall into the other party's trap. Now he was like a hunter and a fox, which was that the hunter was more skillful, and the fox was more cunning. In addition to being more wise, he also had to be more patient.
This opponent probably also noticed the purpose of his shrinking force. He did not swallow any of the two baits he laid in the south, but suddenly rushed to the northern border line and bit himself hard. This was the fifth time he had been backfired by his opponent. This opponent was not Yi and he was a man. He had to be more patient.
Trying to calm down, Gillette analyzed the enemy's movements, and the information confirmed that except for the northeast and northwest of Manlong City, there is a 10,000 team and Manlong City that form a horn to support each other, there is only one 10,000 team unknown whereabouts, and the remaining 70,000 troops are stationed in Manlong City. It seems that Manlong's military power is still in the hands of Hilliard, and the assault force should be this 10,000 team.
Judging from the enemy's 10,000 team launched an attack method, it is unlikely that a 10,000 team will be dispatched, but it is more like it is divided into two assault units, which is 5,000 people per person. Judging from the rules of these five attacks, it is impossible to see what the opponent has to choose. From the middle to the north, it seems that the enemy may turn to the south to launch an attack.
The map was spread out, and Gillette's eyes seemed to burn the map through. From Kuiyangba where the First Division was now stationed, to the north, the Killing Grass Breeze, the Star Cave, Guiqi Ridge, Moyun Mountain, and Chihuoliao in front of him, it extended to Liushantai in the territory of Vito's mansion. This is the supply route for the entire southward cluster. Due to the poor road conditions, some small transfer points had to be set up between these large supply transfer stations. The enemy's appetite has grown from launching an early attack on the small supply points to now openly attacking the large transfer stations. The enemy's appetite has also become increasingly large. The Killing Grass Breeze has burned at least four thousand dans of grain with one fire. Now Chihuoliao has burned at least three thousand dans of grain. Although it will not affect the frontline soldiers' meals, this phenomenon will be not very good if it continues.
So where will the enemy choose as the next target? Gillette's eyes swam among these supply transfer stations. The transfer points that have raised their appetites can no longer arouse the enemy's interest. They will definitely choose targets in these transfer battles. The First Division of Kuiyangba can be eliminated. Liushantai seems to be eliminated in Vito's Mansion, and only the dead grass ridges, the Star Cave, the Ghost Flag, Moyun Mountain, and the Chihuoliao where they are now.
Chihuoliao now has no object worthy of the enemy's arrival. The food has been burned up and can be eliminated. There is not much left in the dead grass ridge, and it seems that there are only the Star Cave, Ghost Flag Ridge and Moyun Mountain. The Star Cave and Moyun Mountain now have a lot of food and are moderately distanced. They should be the best targets of attack for the enemy. However, the enemy should also consider that they will make necessary preparations for this possibility. The Geoqi Ridge is too east, and the surrounding terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is most suitable for ambushing. Even if the enemy succeeds in attacking, it is not easy to retreat. Although the enemy is cruel, he may not dare to act so boldly. It should be said that these three places are possible, but it is the most impossible.
Gillette gently twisted his fingers under his jaw, and his soft beard became the best substitute for regulating his thinking. He only had three mountain fast gangs in his hand. In other words, he had to determine the target and hit it with one hit, otherwise if he made a mistake in judgment, he would probably suffer huge losses.
With his eyes on three places, Gillette tried his best to put himself in the psychology of the enemy leading soldiers to make a judgment. The three places may all become ambush sites for the Imperial Army. Especially after several places suffered heavy damage, the Imperial Army naturally needs to strengthen its defense, and may even deliberately set up a trap to lead the Luzon army to take the bait, just like playing hide-and-seek, which not only makes the other party unable to guess his intentions, but also achieves the goal. This will test the means of the leader.
If you are the other party, where would you choose? Star Cave? Or Moyun Mountain? The conditions are the most suitable, but it may also be the Imperial Army ambushing. What about Ghost Flag Ridge? Even if the Imperial Army did not set up an ambush here, if the Imperial Army reacted quickly enough and was not far away, it would be very likely that the other party would be bitten by the other party if it had not completely evacuated from this area.
His eyes accidentally passed by Liushantai at the top of the map. Gillette's heart moved slightly. Liushantai seemed to be less than ten miles away from Vito's mansion. It was still fifty miles away from Vito's mansion, and a few miles away was the area under the jurisdiction of Manlon. This is now the most important storage point for materials and food for the Imperial Army, because further south, you will enter the Luzon controlled area, which has become the busiest junction. What if you choose this place as your target?
Gillette felt a little nervous. There was only one large group of troops stationed here, and the situation in the border area was relatively complicated. It seemed that it was easy to get cover if it wanted to sneak in. The only difficulty was the retreat after the attack. However, the Luzon army could completely move westward and then turn south after completing the attack, so as to avoid its own encirclement. The more Gillette thought about this, the greater the possibility. After the first two enemy attacks, he arrived and then dispatched scouts to track and check the route of the operation. However, the Luzons were very careful about the hidden traces. Even though it was discovered late, this time the scouts could clearly understand the direction of the enemy's retreat. This seemed to be a little bit of a slight scent, and deliberately guided their thinking to extend to the central and southern parts. In the north, especially in the territory of Vito, this possibility could almost be ruled out. Once the raid was raided, the results would be quite considerable.
"How much food and supplies are there in Liushan Taizi now?" After pondering for a long time, Gillette felt that this situation might not be easily let go. Judging from the current situation, this possibility is quite high, especially the intellect and decisiveness shown by this leader, which is enough to prove that this guy is not an ordinary person and will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble.
"Reported to the deputy commander of the army, Liushantaizi has just transported 6,000 dan of grain from Vito Mansion. In addition, the original existing grain is estimated to be nearly 10,000 dan. In addition, a batch of epidemic medicines and insect-proof medicines used in spring and summer were transported from the Volcano Mansion, and the number is not small."
The reply of the Logistics Director made Gillette feel that this possibility is increasing. After all, the Luzons have been informed on this land for a hundred years, and the Andes are still one of the most populous nations in this area. It is not difficult for the Luzons to obtain information on this aspect, and they can easily obtain this information.
Although other locations may also be targets of the Luzon army, Gillette was already sure that the enemy would choose here. The more dangerous the place, the safer it was. Liushantai was already in the territory of Vito, and it was precisely in the mainland of its own controlled area that the attack could achieve the effect of achieving success in one fell swoop. What if some targeted response measures could be made?
Liushantai is a dam 50 miles south of Vito Mansion City, and it is also an important material distribution center at the southern end of Vito Mansion. The road from Vito Mansion to Liushantai has been completed. Although the road conditions are not as good as those of the main business roads across the country, it is also quite good.
Now Liushantai seems to have become more lively. Since the imperial army entered Vito, it seems that it has become the first gateway for the empire to move south. There is a steady stream of food and various materials gathered here. No one knows what His Highness of Qin is doing here. Until the army has adjusted and suddenly set off south and entered the eastern Luzon region in one breath. Only then did everyone understand that the empire used this Liushantai as a logistics supply station to provide various services and needs for the frontline soldiers.
