Chapter 425: What mine do you like?
On the other hand, Li Hu was transferred to the provincial capital to serve as an inspector.
Chu Jiao was appointed as the leader of the heavy armor battalion.
Zhao Shuo was very interested in the Heavy Armor Battalion and always stayed in the camp to participate in training.
Xie Zhong's tank battalion also has training tasks every day and is constantly strengthening technical improvements to the tanks.
Lin Qiaomei was still in charge of the long-range attack battalion, but she handed over the catapult team to Xi Niang to lead alone.
Wang Qian, Zhang Changyou and Hu Jincai still led the light cavalry battalion.
The three of them would lead their men in competitions against each other in the military field every day.
Only Lin Qiaomei was brave enough to lead her team out of the city to specifically wipe out the Tartar cavalry.
Since Wanyan Wuzhi entered the Tatar camp, the Tatar cavalry began to move out again, wandering around and looking for opportunities to plunder.
Lin Qiaomei then led her men into the wilderness to compete with the Tartars in archery.
The Tatars' horse riding and archery skills are their natural strengths.
However, they suffered damage to Lin Qiaomei's long-range attack camp and were evenly matched.
This shows that the Qingshui Army's horse riding and archery skills gradually caught up with the others through high-intensity training.
As the number of Tatar cavalry increased, the friction between the two sides continued to escalate, gradually developing from a small force to a cavalry team of hundreds of people.
Finally, Lin Feng lost his patience.
If this continued, the casualties would increase, which made him very unhappy.
But the Tartars liked to fight like this. Every day they would send out many cavalry to roam around and fight guerrilla warfare.
As soon as they saw a slightly larger force of the Qingshui Army, they turned around and ran away without any desire to fight.
Finally, after more than 20 days of preparation, Lin Feng completed the preparation task.
After returning to the command center, Lin Feng immediately summoned all senior generals to a meeting.
Lin Feng stood in front of the sand table and glanced at the generals standing in front of him.
Wang Qian, Hu Jincai, Zhang Changyou, Li Donglai, Lin Qiaomei, Xie Zhong, Chu Jiao, Xi Niang.
In addition to Sun Yang from Border Town, Qin Fang and Li Hu from the provincial capital.
The others gathered at the Lingdouzi Castle Command Center.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and took a deep breath.
"The Tartars are currently quite rampant. Judging from the strength of both sides, there's no need to plan a battle plan. I've decided to directly engage them in a decisive battle."
He paused to gauge everyone's reaction.
Everyone was focused and calm, waiting for his orders.
Lin Feng pointed at the sand table. "Wang Qian, Hu Jincai, Zhang Changyou, and Li Donglai, each with 3,000 soldiers, are deployed here. Lin Qiaomei's 5,000-man ranged assault battalion is deployed here. Xie Zhong's 40 chariots are deployed here. Chu Jiao's 3,000-man heavy armored battalion is deployed here. Do you understand?"
Everyone stared at the sand table carefully and nodded in agreement.
"Let's ignore the Tartar cavalry and advance our army to their main camp, preventing them from leaving."
Hu Jincai said, "This is forcing them to fight a decisive battle."
"Yes, if they want to defend the camp, I will let them taste the power of the thunder cannon."
Lin Feng sneered.
Everyone was confused.
"Thunderbolt Cannon?"
Lin Qiaomei's eyes lit up: "Brother, is this the thunder you used to fight the Black Scarf Army?"
"Yes, it's the thunder."
Everyone had a look of longing on their faces, as they had all heard that the Black Turban Army’s camp was blown away by Lin Feng using heavenly thunder.
The scene must have been spectacular.
Zhang Changyou frowned and asked calmly, "Boss, the Tartar camp has 40,000 troops. Can we just use just 20,000 of them?"
Before Lin Feng could say anything, Li Donglai looked disdainful.
"Lao Zhang, don't you see what weapons we use?"
Hu Jincai also said casually: "If the boss takes action, we can't even spend 20,000."
Lin Feng waved his hand: "I still say the same thing, a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit, and the quality of the soldiers is more important than the number. With our current strength, 20,000 will be enough."
"Yes, brother, let's kill them and make a river of blood flow!"
Lin Qiaomei shouted with her fist raised.
Lin Feng glanced at her and then said to everyone.
"Okay, go back and get ready. I'll see you on the military field tomorrow morning."
Everyone bowed and stepped back, then went out one after another.
Xi Niang didn't dare to speak in front of everyone. Only when she saw that everyone had left did she ask softly.
"General, what do I do?"
Lin Feng touched his chin and said, "You don't have to move for now. After we fight the Tartars, it will be time for you to use your catapult."
Xi Niang didn't understand, but she knew that she had nothing to do with the first game.
"Go and get ready and wait for my orders."
Lin Feng waved his hand.
Xi Niang bowed and left the room.
After everyone left, Bai Jing asked.
"Brother, are you planning to beat me to death?"
"Well, the entire Zhenxi region has been taken over. We cannot allow the Tartars to remain within the territory any longer."
Lin Feng replied while staring at the sand table.
Bai Jing picked up a report from the desk.
"Brother, this letter just arrived today from Li Jiping, the commander of the Western Xia Yinzhou Army."
Lin Feng looked up: "Oh, what do you mean?"
"He said that 20,000 Tartar cavalrymen have entered the country and are now approaching Yinzhou. The 30,000 Yinzhou troops who went to resist them have been defeated."
Lin Feng frowned. He knew a little about the combat effectiveness of the Xixia army.
At that time, 5,000 cavalry invaded Zhenxi, but they were almost wiped out by him.
Compared with the Tartars, they are not even a little bit inferior.
"What does he want?"
Bai Jing glanced at the report in her hand.
"He meant that the Tartars are ferocious and he hopes we can lend a helping hand. Currently, the government troops are trapped in Qing County, just outside Yinzhou. The Tartars can't break into the city yet, but the situation is imminent."
Lin Feng took a breath: "I'm fighting with the Tartars here..."
"Or, let General Sun Yang go?"
Bai Jing asked tentatively.
Lin Feng shook his head: "You must be joking. There are 20,000 Tartars, and there are only 10,000 people in the border town. We can't withdraw all of them."
"There are 40,000 Tartars here, and I only have a little over 20,000, right?"
Bai Jing asked in confusion.
Lin Feng patted her head.
"What are you thinking? Don't you see the equipment of my 20,000 men? Let alone 40,000 Tartars, even if there are 20,000 more, they won't be able to withstand our attack."
"Then should we still rescue them?"
Lin Feng didn't answer, but looked at the sand table with a frown.
The terrain of Xixia Yinzhou is not shown on this sand table.
Lin Feng turned to the desk and pulled out a map with a few simple curves on it.
The orientation structure of Xixia Yinzhou was drawn very simply.
"The Tartar cavalry is not good at attacking cities. If they have enough food in the county, they can hold out for ten days or so."
"Brother, what I mean is..."
"Wait until I defeat Wanyan Wuji, then find a way to send troops to assist."
Bai Jing sighed: "Of course it is so. We have to take care of ourselves first."
Lin Feng smiled: "Of course, I have to consolidate my position first before I can lend a hand to him."
"Brother, why didn't Li Jiping ask for help from his own court?"
Bai Jing asked in confusion.
Lin Feng analyzed, "As the commander of Yinzhou's army, he's naturally well aware of the Xixia army's combat capabilities. He could certainly ask the imperial court for help, but the hope is slim. It would be better for him to come to me."
"How did he know you would reach out?"
"It's just a letter. Whether we go or not depends on fate. Besides, Yinzhou is rich in mineral resources. How can he let us return empty-handed after helping him this time?"
Bai Jing laughed and said, "So you're attracted by her wealth."
Lin Feng also laughed: "How can we offer help for nothing? Why don't you give us the mining rights to one or two mines this time?"
"What kind of mine do you like?"
