Chapter 120: Seeking Danger and Seeking Stability

In the era of inefficient black powder, the speed of progress in defending the city was far better than that of the siege technique, so there was a situation where a castle could be defended for a year after the appearance of the fortress.

Now, in order to attract people from all over the world to learn "Tianzhi", and be sure that what they have in their hands is the truth, and the truth of defending the city is only a part of the truth of Tianzhi, so the more people who learn, the more people will naturally devote themselves to nine numbers and geometry.

In this case, there must have been some wise people who understood the essence of the art of defending the city, the deployment of troops, the folding of straight lines, the deployment of artillery, and so on.

But I'm not worried.

Since the Mo family began to form professional sappers, in fact, the progress of siege has been on par with the defense of the city.

The Mo family itself had a lot of artillery, and many of the cities built before were considered because the enemy did not have artillery, and the city walls and the heavy earth fortresses necessary to defend against artillery were not designed.

If you want to figure out why it didn't, you have to know what it is and why it is true.

Even if there are such people, taking advantage of the advantages of artillery, approaching by sappers digging pits, there is basically no city in the world that cannot be captured in half a month.

Everyone present was also full of arrogance, feeling that they were orthodox Mo family who started by defending the city, and if they would defend the city, they would inevitably attack the city, and there were still people in the world who felt that they could support the Mo family's siege technique for half a year, which was really a joke.

After laughing, he nodded in the direction of Chengyang of Wei and said, "The key this time is in Chengyang." We can't let Han Wei and Doctor Qi Pingyin reconcile and break through one first,"

After he finished speaking, the people below took out paper and pen to write it down, and waved his hand and said, "You don't need to remember this." Just keep it in your head. I'll tell you about our general strategy, and you can put forward any ideas you have. ”

"Since the State of Qi has decided to send troops, Father Liang's army will go to Wucheng first. We have already suggested that the people of Fei Guo wait for the time being, collect grain and grass, and make a posture of storming Wucheng. What we are waiting for is that the Qi State will definitely enter the Lu State. Once Qi enters Lu, we can send troops. ”

"Wucheng has not yet been breached, it is still being built, and Father Liang's father is defending it, so we will take advantage of the situation to attack Chengyang directly along Heshui."

"If we march towards Chengyang, the Qi people will feel that we are empty in the direction of Feiguo, and they may choose to attack, and Gongzaoye can enter Feiguo at any time."

"The key to this battle of alignment is not in the state of Qi, but in the state of Wei, Chengyang. Once Chengyang is broken, Wei is likely to make peace with us and withdraw from interference.

"If the direction of Chengyang can win, even if one of Qi Guo's two fists is broken by us. If Qi Guo is smarter at this time, he can choose to quit. ”

"If we are not smart enough, we will make a direct attack on Pingyin from Chengyang, and move forward along the old road of the Three Jin Dynasty and Qi back then."

"The choice of the main force of Linzi in Qi can only be two, retreat to defense. Either that, or go all out to storm Sishang, and want to see if we will break through the Great Wall first, or if they will break through Peiyi first......"

After he finished speaking, Six Fingers nodded and said, "No problem." ”

"I read the briefing the day before yesterday. Now Wei has started a war with Zhongshan, Zhao, and Chu, and wants to pull Qi into the water to deal with us, so as to prevent us from forming an alliance with Chu and using troops in the direction of Daliang. As long as Chengyang wins, Wei should immediately withdraw from interfering. ”

"The main thing is...... In the direction of Wucheng, how many troops do we need to lose to attack Chengyang? ”

In order to let everyone know why they chose such a strategy, they are now division commanders commanding seven or eight thousand people, and in the future they may all be responsible for a major strategy in one direction, and some things already need to be taught to them.

The meaning of the six fingers is the important problem of the time difference between marches.

If the speed of Qi's advance is too fast, and the main force of Linzi arrives in Wucheng before the Mo family breaks through Chengyang, then the situation of the Mo family will be very unfavorable.

The best situation is that after the Mo family captures Chengyang, the main force of Linzi of Qi is about to arrive in Wucheng, and it cannot directly turn to make peace with the defeated Chengyang and the coalition forces in the direction of Pingyin, so as to achieve a situation of dividing and attacking.

He walked to the map, pointed in the direction of Chengyang, and said, "If the Qi people want to go hand in hand, Doctor Pingyin and the Wei and Han coalition forces will definitely have to wait in Chengyang for a while. We think the key is in Chengyang, but in the eyes of Qi people, the key is in Wucheng. ”

"When the army of Linzi arrived near Wucheng, it was the time when the army of Chengyang began to move. On the one hand, the city of Wu, on the other hand, went down along Heshui and Surabaya. ”

"If Doctor Pingyin and the Wei and Han coalition forces meet and concentrate in Chengyang, even if we have the skills to attack the city, we may suffer great losses."

"If we attack Chengyang first and break the Wei and Han coalition forces, Doctor Pingyin may retreat."

"Since it is said that it is impossible for Wei to have more forces to interfere with Sishang, then our enemy is still Qi. If we arrive in Chengyang before Doctor Pingyin and break the Wei-Han coalition army, Wei withdraws from intervention...... Qi Guo knew the difficulty and returned it. ”

"What if they don't know what to do? In the battle of Chengyang, the Qi people chose to assemble the army, and the Qi army in the direction of Pingyin did not lose anything, and fought on the internal line of Qi, and the Linzi army would make peace all the way...... If they don't attack, we still have to guard against them at all times, and we can't let go of our hands and feet to take over the East China Sea after the retreat of the Yue Kingdom to the south......"

Several division commanders nodded one after another, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Six fingers pointed to several cities in the northeast of Chengyang and south of Pingyin, and said: "If we can be sure that the Wei and Han coalition forces are not too strong in Chengyang, we can make a feint attack on Chengyang and seize the opportunity...... Defeat Doctor Pingyin in the field, and then turn around and fight Chengyang. ”

Everyone took a deep breath and felt that this idea was a little too bold.

If it wins, it will be a clever plan.

But if there are any surprises, it will be very disadvantageous.

From Pingyin to Chengyang, that is, from Pingyin to Heze in later generations, they did not go out of the provincial border, and they were more than 200 miles away.

This boundary is still the land of the Qi State, and if there is any accident, or if there is an anxiety, the reinforcements of the Wei and Han coalition forces and the rest of the cities of the Qi State will be able to arrive within seven or eight days.

I am not afraid of field battles, but I am afraid that these two armies will reconcile and run backwards. This is in the inner line of the Qi State, and the speed at which they escaped must be fast, and the Mo family righteous division will be fighting on the outside line at that time, and under factors such as operational logistics, it may not be able to catch up.

Unable to catch up, the rout was retracted, and in fact, there was not much loss for the Qi State.

And if you choose to wait until Doctor Qi Pingyin and the Wei and Han coalition forces will meet Yu Chengyang, it will be to catch a turtle in an urn.

Of course, after the coalition forces will meet, if the Mo family wants to ensure the safety of the Wucheng direction, they must quickly break through Chengyang, and when the time comes, the losses will inevitably be great.

But judging from the Mo family's siege methods, it is not a problem to capture it.

Shi frowned and thought about it for a while, and then said with six fingers: "If the determination of the Wei State to intervene is not so strong, in fact, if we can defeat the Pingyin Doctor between Pingyin and Chengyang, then the Wei State can actually choose to make peace." ”

"Even if you don't choose to make peace, the Wei and Han coalition forces together will be more than 20,000 people, and the main forces in the direction of Daliang are fighting against Chu in Chendi, and the Wei and Han coalition forces in the direction of Chengyang can't do anything, at most they will wait and see. We lose and bite us, and we win and we will be honest. ”

"In this way, if we can annihilate Doctor Pingyin in Jishui, then the initiative will be completely in our hands."

"At that time, the main force of Pingyin was annihilated, and the Great Wall was demolished because of the three Jin Dynasty and Qi that year, and the Qi country had no danger to defend."

"When the time comes, we can attack and force Qi to retreat; If you want to use Wucheng, Fei and other places to lure the main force of Linzi to change homes with us, so that they will feel that our main force is outside, so that they can drive straight into Peidi and encircle them. ”

Shi stared at the map for a while, nodded and said, "Hmm." If the Pingyin Doctor and the Wei-Han coalition army will join Chengyang, then even if we capture Chengyang, because it is a siege battle, it may take half a month to repair. The cities of Qi will have more time to prepare. ”

"But if the Qi army in the direction of Pingyin is annihilated in Jishui, then the Qi people in the cities in the direction of Pingyin have no troops available. We can quickly cross the Great Wall and approach Linzi. You can also choose to go south from Pingyin and break through the line of Liangfu and Taishan, so as to cut off the retreat of the main force of the Qi army in Linzi. Forcing them to fight a decisive battle with us and weaken the Qi State in one fell swoop. ”

"It's all about ......"

Shi's eyes are fixed on the Jishui line on the map, now Onoze is still there, the South Jishui and the North Jishui converge here, plus the Heshui Canal built by Fucha, if it can win in Jishui, it can indeed directly threaten the hinterland of the Qi State.

The Great Wall defense line was forcibly demolished by the Sanjin Dynasty because of the rebellion of the Gongsun Society, and the Qi State was lost, and Linzi was in danger.

At that time, the strategic initiative will indeed be in their own hands.

If you get Pingyin, it doesn't matter if Qi Guo dares to bet on changing homes or not.

Dare to change homes, the righteous division retreats, and recruits retired righteous teachers, which is enough to hold the hinterland of the Mo family, and when the time comes, the retreat of the Qi army will be cut off, and the Qi country will lose most of its troops at once......

With the current political situation of Qi State, the situation within the Tian clan is now similar to that before Zhao Ji's death. Once such a big defeat is made, the Qi country will inevitably be in civil strife.

As soon as the Qi country was in chaos, the situation after the retreat of the East China Sea to the south, the Mo family could control it as much as they wanted.

I have to say that the strategy of the six fingers is too bold, which is tantamount to asking the Mo family to fight a decisive battle with the Qi army within seven or eight days after the Pingyin side sends troops, so as to eliminate the possibility of reinforcements from the rest of the cities and towns of the Qi country.

However, there are also many benefits to winning, and all aspects can be described as extremely advantageous. The Wei and Han coalition forces are also soy sauce fighters, and making peace with the Qi Kingdom will increase the pressure on the Mo family, but if they don't make peace, just rely on their people, as long as the main force of the Mo family is not completely wiped out, they can only wave their flags and shout even if they don't make peace.

This requires the full cooperation of the intelligence department to determine the time when the troops will be sent from the direction of Pingyin and the army of Linzi of Qi State will pass Taishan Wenshui.

In other words, it is necessary to make Qi think that he has gained the initiative, and when it has been deployed in all directions and cannot be redeployed, choose the time to send troops to regain the initiative.

The key is this time difference.

From the beginning of the siege of Chengyang to attack Jishui, to the field battle of Jishui, to the breaking of Pingyin, to the front line of Mount Tai and Liangfu Mountain to threaten the rear road of Qi Linzi's main force, this series of actions may only take one month at most.
