After three days of marching, the Chu army arrived at the southwest bank of Wudinghe under Luo Chengwu, facing the Xixia military camp in Suide County across the river.

When Luo Chengwu walked to the river bank, stepped on the low and broken bank embankment and looked north, and saw the Xixia military camp, Dazhai, he couldn't help but frown.

Xixia, there are very strict precautions.

"It seems we have really underestimated our opponents."

After affirming Xixia, Luo Chengwu sighed to Kou Zhong: "The father is indeed a true insight. Let us not underestimate Xixia, which makes sense.

Before we came, who would have thought that these group of Bangxiang barbarians would build villages and dig trenches.”

I originally thought that the two armies fought against each other, but now it has become a tough battle.

The Xixia village wall may not be very high, but the Chu army does not have siege equipment, so no one will take advantage of it.

As for the artillery of the Firearm Bureau.

Tang Fu probably would have to be one year at the earliest before this thing was put into use on the battlefield.

Therefore, Luo Chengwu now has to rely on himself.

"Fighting head-on is not good."

Kou Zhong shook his head and expressed his different opinions: "If we want to fight, we have to cross the river. The process of crossing the river is to completely expose the soldiers to the enemy's attack, which will make great sacrifices.

Even if you cross over, how can you fight against the Dangxiang people's cavalry?"

Without Kou Zhong's words, Luo Chengwu also understood these words.

So he nodded, and said while expressing his agreement.

"Look at this, let's go north along the Wuding River and penetrate from other places in Linzhou."

"Is this a small army infiltration operation proposed by the king?"

Kou Zhong suddenly realized, much more serious.

The word "fighting behind enemy lines" is of course a fresh word created by Luo Yongsheng, but its core essence has been written long ago in the Nine-level War Arts of the ancestors.

Some of the essences suitable for modern warfare were summarized by later generations and given a new name.

Luo Yongsheng likes to be a teacher. Although he does not interfere in the command of the army, some fresh war concepts are still given to Kou Yan.

He can't fight, but the Kou will meet.

Therefore, Kou Yan combined these fresh war concepts with his own military talents to compile the first set of military command textbooks in the Great Chu.

Fighting behind enemy lines and infiltration operations are naturally gaining some attention.

In fact, even without Luo Yongsheng, Kou Yan used these two combat methods when he fought the Khitan in Hebei more than ten years ago.

In the great victory of the Battle of Yingzhou, there is no shortage of the shadow of these two combat methods.

It can even be said that he made great contributions.

Now Luo Chengwu has no choice but to face the impregnable Xixia defense line, so he can only think of this.

"Look at General Kou."

Luo Chengwu called his personal soldiers to bring the map of Linzhou, and pulled it apart and said to Kou Zhong.

"Suide is not a big city, and Linzhou is not a steep place. There are rivers, grasslands and deserts. To be blunt, there is no need to defend Linzhou at all.

I don’t quite understand why Zhang Pu would not leave in such a place?

According to common sense, Xixia had already plundered Linzhou. They should have withdrawn to Lingzhou with the benefits, but they planned to fight a head-on battle with our army here, which is extremely unwise.

Once Zhangpu Central Army loses and is defeated here, we can all push the troops westward to Lingzhou.

Zhangpu only has 50,000 people, but Wuding River is hundreds of miles long, so his army cannot defend it.

Our general's plan was to draw out 10,000 veterans from the First Army and the Second Army, spread out the team as combat units, and pull the front line up to the north for hundreds of miles to cross the river.

Once you cross the river, you will quickly move towards the Kuye River, breaking the connection between Xixia and Zhangpu's army."

Kou Zhong immediately took a breath of air conditioning.

He really didn't expect that Luo Chengwu had such a big appetite and planned to turn Zhang Pu into a lonely army and make dumplings!

"Kuye River is the most important and dangerous place in Linzhou, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is the key to the throat.

Go west, you can go to Xiazhou, go northeast, and enter Khitan.

For so many years, it has been a place where Li Jiqian, Khitan and Zhao Song have repeatedly fought for.

Now Linzhou has completely lost its territory, and the Kuye River has also been in the hands of the Xixia people. If we take back the Kuye River, we will seize the initiative in this war."

Did these words come from Luo Chengwu’s mouth?

Looking at Luo Chengwu who was fully focused, Kou Zhong was a little stunned.

Although he was a surrendered general, Kou Zhong had never looked down on the relatives and important generals in Luo Chu's army system.

Strictly speaking, Kou Zhong only admires one person for the Great Chu, that is Luo Yongsheng.

This kind of admiration is even far more than that of his own adoptive father.

Apart from Luo Yongsheng, what else does Da Chu have?

Just a group of beggars, a general who can only become a father-son relationship can have some ability.

But now, Kou Zhong feels that he is going to re-examine Luo Chengwu.

This second young master of Da Chu is not only the best in military power, but also has a brain.

This alone can quickly grasp several important core points in the battle situation, which is not a level that ordinary people can achieve.

"Luo Shuai is wise."

Luo Chengwu smiled and turned around and walked towards the handsome tent.

"I am going to bend the drum to promote the tent, and I am going to order the soldiers."

"promise!"

··········

On the other side of the river, the Xixia military camp.

Zhang Pu also appeared here, staring at the map with a serious expression.

When I was drinking earlier, my tone was so arrogant that I couldn't stand it. Today, after seeing the Chu army's appearance, Zhang Pu shivered.

He has always had military service in his life, forty years, and this is the first time he has seen such an army.

The orders are enforced, the morale is high, and the military is in a neat manner.

Just from the perspective of mental outlook, this is definitely an elite soldier.

The only thing that made Zhang Pu relaxed was that among the 80,000 Chu troops on the other side of the river, there were 30,000 to 40,000, which did not look so powerful.

"After the scouts found out, after the Chu army set up a camp, some Chu soldiers actually sat on the ground in the camp, threw their weapons aside, and even organized singing competitions when they read books and played."

Liu Renxu was also much more relaxed: "It seems that not all the Chu army are elite, and most of them are probably new recruits from a rammed group.

The army is still singing and playing, and it is estimated that when the war begins, it will scatter and many people will collapse and flee."

"It's the soldiers brought by the lord general named Luo."

Zhang Pu shook his head: "It seems that he is just a mediocre person who relies on clan relations. When it comes to training and leading troops, he is still far inferior to Kou Zhong."

Looking at the 50,000 troops led by Kou Zhong, the lineup is rigorous and imposing. Looking at the so-called tens of thousands of people who came to support him later, I thought they were elites, but they were gone after entering the military camp.

He actually talks about and sings in the army?

What kind of combat effectiveness can a group of soldiers busy laughing and playing?

After relaxing for a while, Zhang Pu still became serious.

He looked at the map and his eyes turned around.

I vaguely felt a little nervous, but I couldn't say it.

This is a general's sense of battlefield smell.

The reason why famous generals are famous generals is that their sense of smell is more sensitive.

Zhang Pu, will he be a famous general?
