Chapter 1130: The Great War Really Begins
Wang Junlin nodded at Shen Guo'er and said, "Although there were wonderful chess pieces around Na Yuan Gai Suwen in the early stage, Yuan Gai Suwen was not an easy person, and the same was true of Gao Jianwu, the lord of Goguryeo, and he must have sent troops to support Annan County at this time." We took Nanyang Village, Daluo City and Baishan County mainly by gunpowder or ingenuity, and then when dealing with Annan County, Yuangai Suwen will definitely be on guard, and there is no miracle effect. β
"And we're running out of gunpowder. Without gunpowder, our siege of the city would not be much different from the siege battle in the ordinary sense, and even if we took the county town of Annam, we would inevitably suffer a lot of casualties. In addition, so far, our expedition to Goguryeo has never exposed the field warfare of our 10,000 naval divisions, which is also very good at it, and in this case, the enemy will inevitably despise the field strength of our naval divisions. Therefore, we have to find a way to fight the enemy in the field, and the reinforcements from Goguryeo came to help, which played into my hands. Through the field battle, the reinforcements sent by Gao Jianwu were disabled first, even if Yuangai Suwen did not go out of the city, they would lose the support of the reinforcements at that time, and they would know that we would lose their courage if they were disabled and the reinforcements would be defeated. β
Speaking of this, Wang Junlin paused, his eyes swept over the generals under his command, and found that from the eyes of everyone, it could be seen that they were all full of fighting spirit and full of great confidenceβββ so far, Wang Junlin has led everyone to never lose.
At this moment, an officer walked in and reported to Wang Junlinyu: "Lord Qiqi, the sand table has been piled up. β
Wang Junlin stood up and said, "You follow me to check the sand table and set a plan. β
Wang Junlin led the generals to a large tent with a rectangular sand table two zhang long and one zhang wide in the middle. Seven young officers from the Snake Island Officer Training Camp stood next to them sweating profusely, holding some rulers and other tools in their hands, their expressions were a little nervous, this was the first large-scale field battle with the enemy army since the conquest of Goguryeo, so Wang Junlin ordered them to temporarily pile up a sand table. If Wang Junlin is not satisfied, it is a serious dereliction of duty.
There is also a map hanging at one end of the sand table, Wang Junlin brought everyone in, everyone sat on both sides of the sand table, and the first time they saw Jin Sanhu, Jin Xiaowu, and Cui Hongguang on the sand table were amazed.
Wang Junlin first checked the map and carefully inspected every part of the sand table, and after a long sound, he nodded and expressed his satisfaction, and the seven junior officers were immediately overjoyed and overjoyed.
Only then did Wang Junlin say: "According to the information obtained by the spies, the 10,000 reinforcements from Goguryeo only set off this morning. It is expected to arrive in Annam a day later than we will be. Therefore, I decided to divide the war into two ways. Divide 5,000 infantry to besiege the city of Annam, but not attack, just look at the 8,000 troops of Yuangai Suwen. In addition, I personally led the rest of my men and horses across the county town of Annam and ambushed the reinforcements of Goguryeo. β
Before the words fell, Wang Junlin stepped forward and picked up a six-foot-long thin wooden pole next to the sand table, pointed to the terrain in the middle of the closing, and said: "Everyone, please see, this is the terrain and features within two hundred miles north of the county town of Annam in the direction of Pyongyang. There is a mountainous area forty miles from the county seat of Annam to Pyongyang, and the black water gorge in it is a place where the enemy's reinforcements must pass, otherwise it will take more than 100 miles to detour. Moreover, there are many ravines and mountain streams on both sides of this Heishui Canyon, which is very suitable for Tibetan soldiers. I decided to lead the main army of 14,000 to ambush 20,000 Goguryeo reinforcements in this Heishui Gorge. Well! Okay, what do you find wrong or what you can't fill in? If not, I'm going to start dividing my troops. β
With the help of Nie Xiaoyu, Wang Junlin combined with the military management and training mode of later generations of professional soldiers, and formed and trained the army in Yanchang and Snake Island respectively, and now more than a year has passed, because most of the soldiers and every general have been trained in the training camp on Snake Island, so the army under Wang Junlin is very different from other armies in this era.
For example, according to the regulations, as long as a problem is found at a combat meeting at this time and it is proved to be correct afterwards, it will be counted as a military merit. Therefore, there was silence in the tent, and the generals stared at the sand table with a flash of light in their eyes, and they quickly ran their brains and began to ponder, wanting to make a splash, show their talents, and easily make great achievements. But for a while, you won't be able to find anything wrong. Wang Junlin waited for a dozen breaths, and then said, "Since you don't have any opinions, then I will start to order." β
"Liu Yidong!"
"Humble duty!" Liu Yidong was excited, and stood up with his fists clenched, looking forward to it.
"I order you to take 5,000 men and horses under your command to besiege the north of the county of Annam without attacking it. If the defenders of the county town of Annam take the initiative to attack, they must not retreat, and they should be arrayed to meet the battle. β
"Yes!" Liu Yidong's face was high-spirited, full of monstrous war intent.
"Zhang Tiangang!"
"Humble duty!" Zhang Tiangang immediately stood up, clenched his fists and said loudly.
"Order you to lead the special combat team to infiltrate the reinforcements of the Supreme Goguryeo, and after the enemy enters the Heishui Canyon, blow up the enemy's approach with gunpowder, cut off its rear route, and especially make it difficult for its cavalry to pass." Wang Junlin's pole in his hand pointed to the narrowest place in the north of the Blackwater Canyon.
"Yes!" Zhang Tiangang firmly wrote down the terrain that Wang Junlin pointed to, and then took out his own map and marked it against it, and after going down, he had to lead the officers of the special combat team under his command to discuss and find out his stealth route.
"Wei Chi Jingde!"
"Humble duty!" Wei Chi Jingde stood up and replied loudly.
"Order you to divide your cavalry into two teams, hide in the No. 1 valley on the west side of the Heishui Canyon and the No. 2 valley on the east side, and use the sound of the Chinese army drums as the order to charge the left and right sides of the enemy." Wang Junlin pointed to a small valley on the south side of the middle section of the Heishui Canyon on the sand table, and it could be seen from the topography that there was a mountain road from this valley to the Heishui Canyon.
"Yes!" Wei Chi Jingde also took out his map and began to compare the sand table, looking for two valleys where the soldiers were hidden.
Wang Junlin was talking, while pointing to the low mountains on the east and west sides of the middle section of the Heishui Canyon on the sand table.
Wang Junlin said again: "The rest of Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, and Luo Chunlai's more than 10,000 people followed me to set up a position fifteen miles south of the Heishui Canyon from the exit. Responsible for fighting the enemy head-on. The specific arrangement of troops will be discussed when the time comes. β
The remaining generals roared yes.
Wang Junlin finally said: "After the departments go back, make all kinds of preparations according to their own tasks. The special combat teams of Wei Chi Jingde and Zhang Tiangang, who were in charge of the ambush on both flanks, could request to leave on their own at any time and go to their own combat sites. β
Everyone respectfully said yes and left in turn.
