Chapter 332 Honest Man

Ye Tao was a little surprised: "The other party wanted to drag down the Tianxuan Army by building a supply line? Then why not let Qiu Haohui bring Tianxuan Army back?"

Tan Xiaopei smiled and said, "Because he was in that place, the enemy was even more uncomfortable. Now it was the situation of Duizi on both sides. They had no choice but to deal with Qiu Haohui. He brought 20,000 infantry and 10,000 combat infantry, plus a battalion of archers and thousands of cavalrymen, occupying three towns, with the extremely critical position. There are three towns in Heng'an, Daning and Taifeng. Beiliao tried several times, but couldn't chew him, so he had to use the brain to make the supply line."

Ye Tao roughly thought about the locations of these three places in his mind. He was not familiar with the terrain of Northern Liao. Except for some major cities, he rarely remembered the specific locations. At most, he was more familiar with the border between Northern Liao and Yunzhou. He was a little confused.

Tan Xiaopei shrugged and explained: "If you can hold these three towns firmly, it will almost cut off Hengzhou and other places in Beiliao. Hengzhou is in the mountains behind him. Although Hengzhou is not a very fat place, Beiliao has always cared about territory and will never let go easily. Not to mention that Hengzhou has a copper mine, two iron ore with average yield and quality."

After Tan Xiaopei said this, Ye Tao understood. He nodded and said, "I'll go to Heng'an to have a look."

"Is it necessary? I just came back from there, and the protection of the supplies was arranged by me personally." Tan Xiaopei smiled. He and Ye Tao were really worried about going to the front line. When fighting in Zhenzhou, Ye Tao led the way for a long time. Afterwards, it was a bit lingering, and it was different to attack the bombing and being pressed into the city on the plain.

"I will take the airship team with me. If it is colder and the north wind is stronger, the airship team may not have such a chance to play a role. Now, I will break the deadlock."

Ye Tao was very confident, and Tan Xiaopei quickly understood what Ye Tao meant. The means of airship bombing may be cracked soon. At least, there will be some response methods to reduce the effect of the bombing. After all, everyone understands the characteristics of the Yunzhou army. Ye Tao is unwilling to let his subordinates fight to the death unless they have to. This is especially true for the expensive and precise super weapon of the airship team. They are absolutely unwilling to lower it to too low altitude.

Come to fight for your life. However, every time the airship team appears on a new battlefield, the psychological pressure and fear of the enemy is real and incomparable. The soldiers stationed in Zhenning Pass are also considered elite soldiers trained by the Xue family for many years. In Dongping, where the general is not a special force, the Xue family has controlled the defense of Zhenning Pass for three generations, and it has been almost fifty years in total, so naturally it has its own uniqueness. And these elite soldiers are also terrified...

"Okay, but you rest for a night and then have a fight with Xue Yuan. I asked Xue Yuan to take the elite cavalry of Zhenningguan to support him... You try every means to disrupt the opponent's formation. Then, Xue Yuan, I asked Zou Shuangwen to bring the Blood Qi army battalions together and fight back for a while. And I, together with Zhuo Xianchen, led the imperial guards to block the troops that Hengzhou was about to rush out. Hehe, suffocating Hengzhou to death, so that they could lose their ammunition and food, and surrender, which would be more refreshing than taking the army to bomb down." Tan Xiaopei immediately made a more comprehensive arrangement. This kind of random and powerful tactical attainments and grasping the situation of the battle was what Tan Xiaopei was best at.

"Xue Yuan?" Ye Tao vaguely remembered the name, but his impression was already very indifferent.

"Don't you remember what happened when you first met Xin'er in Yicheng?" Tan Xiaopei said with a smile of understanding.

Ye Tao was shocked. He had never had much interaction with a character like Xue Yuan, and he would not deliberately remember such a person, such a young and domineering person, and Xue Yuan could not hinder him, which was very clear.

"This..." Ye Tao scratched his head embarrassedly.

Tan Xiaopei suggested: "Xue Yuan's temperament has changed drastically over the years, and he has become much more calm and solid. This time he heard that you came here, he specifically asked for advice, hoping to apologize to you in person for the incident that year and not leave a gap between the two... If it weren't for him, maybe I wouldn't do this peace, but it was not a big deal. But I was going to appoint him as the governor of Hengzhou and the general of Zhenning Guanguanguan. He, Xue Qian, thought that he had been retired for many years, but this time he almost fell ill. I'm sorry, Lao Xue, who actually made him tired like this."

Ye Tao smiled and said, "It's really not a big holiday with Xue Yuan. Your Majesty is too worried. I'll go find Xue Yuan."

Although Ye Tao's current identity is unruly and unruly, this makes Ye Tao's sincerity even more.

After staying in Zhenningguan for a day, let the airship crew rest and provide the airship with good supplies, Ye Tao and his party flew straight to Daning. Daning is now the location of Qiu Haohui's command post. Qiu Haohui has not been easy for many years. From the marching chess competition, he entered the Blood Qi Army and the Imperial Army. With his own hard study and hard work, he became an incredible figure in the Dongping Army and commanded the elite army of the Tianxuan Army. It took him less than ten years from the son of a merchant to a famous general. It was precisely because Qiu Haohui had a job in the Blood Qi Army and the Imperial Army. This time when he was nailed to the front line and under pressure, the rear actively protected the supply line for him, and constantly tried every means to fight for the opportunity to attack the rangers in the Northern Liao Dynasty. The strangulation between the two sides has become more and more tragic.

The arrival of Ye Tao made Qiu Haohui extremely happy. The process of his understanding with Ye Tao was the process of entering the army and climbing all the way. Qiu Haohui was able to achieve today because Ye Tao made a magical thing like marching chess back then. Qiu Haohui always felt a little lucky. Fortunately, a few years ago, if it were now, the domestic marching chess competition in Dongping is now being held one after another, and its level is getting higher and higher. In terms of marching chess, Qiu Haohui is no longer the opponent of many of his subordinates. But Qiu Haohui doesn't care so much, because he knows that he is a qualified general.

"Justice Ye... It's been a long time no see..." Qiu Haohui held Ye Tao's hand tightly, extremely excited.

"You call me Zhengluo Ye?" Ye Tao said hurriedly.

"Haha, then what do you want me to call you? Xiao Ye had been calling you for a while, but now I want to call you that, someone will impeach me in a blink of an eye." Qiu Haohui laughed and didn't care.

"What are you afraid of?" Ye Tao and Qiu Haohui walked intimately into the courtyard where Qiu Haohui's command post was located.

Qiu Haohui's command post always has a characteristic, that is, it is very similar to the courtyard in his own home. The command post in the military camp of the Tianxuan Army is this kind of virtue. Although it cannot be satisfactory outside, it always looks for the same as the ones. Qiu Haohui's courtyard is a courtyard with a very standard format, which is not difficult to find. However, this kind of courtyard must accommodate the command organization of the entire Tianxuan Army, as well as a series of officers, liaison officers, etc. of the troops that cooperate to fight, but it is a bit crowded.

Qiu Haohui's interest in the airship brought by Ye Tao was not superficial. He asked Ye Tao privately about the functions and characteristics of the airship, and then he fell into deep thought. "Bombing from the air is very limited, and the lethality is not strong, right?" Qiu Haohui was too familiar with military affairs after all, and soon understood the weakness of the airship.

"Yes, so, there is a combat plan that can give full play to the advantages of our armies." Ye Tao then told Tan Xiaopei's thoughts. After listening to what Ye Tao retelled, Qiu Haohui was silent for a while, then slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Yes, why didn't I expect it?"

In Tan Xiaopei's plan, the Tianxuan Army was to use it as the first force to launch a counterattack, forcing the three enemies in front of the towns in front of him to retreat, and then cooperated with the Xueqi Army and the Zhenningguan garrison to squeeze and encircle the enemy. During the whole process, the airship team will provide them with reconnaissance and ground support. When the three parties advance together and squeeze the enemy into a small enough place, the large-scale bombing of the airship team will be very effective.

"Lao Qiu... you are too honest." Ye Tao laughed, "Your tactical style is different from everyone else. Heavy infantry requires perfect details, stability and solidity. Everyone now regards you as the leader of the heavy infantry, and will naturally pay attention to your personality and ability in this regard. However, you have influenced the style of heavy infantry, and the characteristics of heavy infantry also affect your characteristics. This is not a problem with your tactical ability, but a problem with your tactical style. You are the leader of heavy infantry, and you are an honest person. This is why Your Majesty is so relieved to throw the three towns to you."

Ye Tao said very well. Qiu Haohui thought about it carefully and said, "Well, it makes sense. But this is also good. Let Shangfeng know what I can do well, that's fine."

Qiu Haohui's attitude made Ye Tao very fond of it. Ye Tao knew that in the current situation, it would be very difficult for the Tianxuan Army to quickly turn into counterattacks, which basically means that the entire army will have to undergo a huge tactical change, from urban defense to field attacks. As for the Tianxuan Army, which is mostly heavy infantry, it is obviously more difficult to do this tactical action than other troops.

Qiu Haohui thought for a while and said, "Xiao Ye, you will provide me with half an hour of high-intensity support tomorrow afternoon, and I will launch a counterattack tomorrow."

Ye Tao was stunned: "Is it really OK? Isn't it hurry?"
