Chapter 22: The eccentricity of military strategy and the miracle of the army!
As he spoke, Gao Changsheng turned around and looked at the young man who was traveling with him, smiling.
This was the person who was sent to the rear with him.
It was not Yang Xuangan, who had the most contact with him before, but another one.
This person was also one of the people who received instruction from Yu Juro in the military camp.
The Northern Luo family, the son of King of Beiping Luo Yi, and another one of the Nine Elders, Luo Cheng, the adopted son of Ding Yanping.
Different from Gao Changsheng.
Since coming to this position, Luo Cheng's face has never looked good.
When Luo Cheng heard Gao Changsheng's words, a look of depression flashed in his eyes.
Some urn-like ways:
"A real man should be fighting bravely on the front line. What's the point of hiding in the back?"
Gao Changsheng burst out laughing.
At this time, Luo Cheng was still young and had not yet fully grown into the Cold-Faced and Cold-Speared Warrior he would become in the future.
There is a youthful spirit all over his body.
He was obviously very dissatisfied with being assigned to this idle position.
Gao Changsheng shook his head and said nothing.
Gao Changsheng probably knew why Luo Cheng came here.
The Sui Dynasty led a mighty army of hundreds of thousands to launch a northern expedition against Goguryeo.
Such a huge movement has already shocked the surrounding countries.
In the Sui Dynasty, everyone from top to bottom was planning to destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop.
Yang Lin, Wu Jianzhang, Yu Juluo!
The three Nine Elders and hundreds of thousands of troops, although not the entire country's strength, are definitely taken seriously.
For a military operation of this scale, of course we would not just send out troops as a matter of course.
There is so much to consider from top to bottom.
Let’s not talk about logistics and supplies.
We have to consider the movements of other neighboring countries.
There were more than just Goguryeo, a foreign country surrounding the Sui Dynasty.
If we send troops to Goguryeo, we need to consider whether other ethnic minorities will take the opportunity to invade, or even whether Goguryeo will join forces with other ethnic minorities.
And the Youzhou Beiping where Luo Cheng's father, Luo Yi, was stationed was right next to the D Turks in the north.
It is also a foreign country that the Sui Dynasty needs to focus on defending against.
In addition, heavy troops have been stationed in advance in the western and southern borders where caution is needed.
back to the front.
This is most likely the reason why Luo Cheng was transferred to the rear.
According to speculation, the Turks are likely to raise troops in the northern and northwestern borders of the Sui Dynasty.
At that time, Beijing will be the first to bear the brunt.
Of course, the imperial court must have informed Luo Yi and even the reinforcements were ready.
But my father might be involved in a bloody battle over there at any time, and as for my son Luo Cheng, even King Kaoshan might not feel comfortable putting Luo Cheng on the bloodiest front line right away.
Thinking of this, Gao Changsheng also became curious. Luo Cheng came here because of Luo Yi, but what about him? Was it Yu Juluo who greeted him?
However, based on Gao Changsheng's understanding of Yu Juluo's personality, it is obviously not the same.
Luo Cheng was not surprised by Gao Changsheng's expression. In fact, he knew the reason.
"Humph, as a soldier or a general, why should you be afraid of bloody battles on the battlefield? Even if you die on the battlefield, that is the best fate for a general."
"Father is really nosy. Since you asked me to come, why did you bother to say hello?"
"Are we just going to waste our time in this battle by sitting at the bottom of the table?"
"Then why am I bringing these battle-hardened personal soldiers here so solemnly? How will I present myself when I return to Peking?"
Luo Cheng became angrier as he spoke, and his fair face began to turn purple.
Gao Changsheng shook his head and didn't speak immediately.
His eyes had moved somewhere behind him.
In addition to the ordinary soldiers who were under their jurisdiction and escorting food and fodder, there were hundreds of figures following closely.
Just from their temperament, one can see the difference in quality between the soldiers in the two places.
These are the personal soldiers that Luo Cheng brought with him this time. They are all veterans who have fought in the battlefield with Luo Yi.
His eyes moved.
Landing in front of hundreds of people, Gao Changsheng's eyes unconsciously showed admiration.
Although these hundreds of people are elite, they are not enough to cause Gao Changsheng to do this.
What he was looking at at this moment was a group of cavalrymen whose attire was very different from the others.
He was riding a black horse, his entire body covered in a black robe, with only a pair of cold eyes showing.
There is a scimitar on the waist and a bow and arrow on the back.
There were only eighteen people from beginning to end.
But every move on the horse, the rhythm of breathing, and even the footsteps of the horse under him were exactly the same.
"Eighteen riders of Yanyun!"
Gao Changsheng naturally recognized such an iconic outfit at the first sight.
This is a famous army.
Put aside some of the understanding from previous lives.
Just talking about this life, this army was mentioned in Yu Juluo's insights on military strategy, as well as in Gao Jiong's military strategy works obtained from the secret room before.
There is no overly detailed introduction.
But speaking of this unit.
Both Gao Jiong and Yu Juluo used the same adjective.
"It's a wonder of military strategy, and also a miracle in the army!"
After seeing this introduction, combined with some understanding from my previous life.
It was hard for Gao Changsheng not to notice this army.
Each of the eighteen riders, who were moving steadily at this time, seemed like a pool of stagnant water, without a single ripple.
But Gao Changsheng could clearly feel the extraordinary nature of this army.
Of course, there may be many hidden things that can only be revealed through fighting.
After all, since Gao Yingyu Juluo used miracles, it couldn't be simple no matter how you think about it.
Reluctantly, she withdrew her gaze and turned it back to Luo Cheng's face.
"Brother Luo, why are you so distressed? This is a war to destroy a country, it is bound to take a long time!"
"There are plenty of opportunities to fight, and we can't stay in the rear forever."
"Otherwise, why would King Kaoshan transfer us here?"
After hearing this, Luo Cheng's expression improved slightly.
"Moreover!"
Gao Changsheng chuckled.
"Escorting food and fodder is not an idle job. As the saying goes, food and fodder must be sent before the troops move. Food supply is the lifeblood of the entire army."
"Since ancient times, there has never been a lack of examples of raiding food routes and burning food supplies on the battlefield."
Facing Gao Changsheng's gaze, Luo Cheng couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Forget it. I understand the importance of food and fodder!"
"But our army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they have probably blocked the Liao River long ago. How could they fly over and attack the grain route?"
“Even if the enemy forces are lucky enough to break through the Liao River and get past the army, how can they possibly break through the defense line of Liucheng!”
Luo Cheng glanced behind him.
"Just looking at these soldiers, they are definitely third-line troops."
"If the food route was really in danger, how could King Kaoshan send out such a team?"
Having said this, Luo Chengzhang let out a breath and spoke again.
"But I understand what Brother Gao meant. Thank you, Brother Gao!"
"To be honest, I really hope that what Brother Gao said will come true."
"If the enemy really shows up, it will be a good way for me to have fun."
"Although the grain transport troops are not strong enough, with my personal soldiers here, we are not afraid of the enemy at all."
Gao Changsheng laughed.
He just said that. As Luo Cheng said, the possibility of encountering enemies on this grain route was too small.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but then suddenly closed it.
"Woo~~~~~"
