Chapter 451: Dig deep trenches and build long walls

Liu Shun was in a hurry to ask for battle, obviously wanting to gain military merits, otherwise his Zhongwu Town would become the tail of the crane of the Five Loyal Army.

He has gone from being a splash to his current position, and it is enough to say that he has done so. At first, he himself was very satisfied, but people were afraid of comparison, originally he was the only one in Guangdong, but now there are more loyalty, loyalty, supervision, and rebuilt loyalty, he is a little uncomfortable, and even if he doesn't want to fight, his people are not happy.

Wang Yan sat upright in the middle, facing more than a dozen civil and military officers under his command, and waved his hand to let Liu Shun not be anxious, "Tong Yangjia is a person, this pavilion knows very little, but this pavilion knows a lot about Li Chengdong. When this person was happy to settle the account, he was a very capable general, and after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he also made great contributions to the Qing court, and he was able to attack and defend. Zhangzhou City was built high and thick by him, plus 30,000 horses in Chengnei, if he wanted to attack it, even if he could break the city, our army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and in the end he could only fall into Zhang Cunren's strategy. ”

"What then?" Liu Shun was a little disappointed and said: "When we 40,000 horses swore in Guangjing, our blood was boiling, and we rushed into Fujian with murderous spirit, and we just ran into Zhangzhou, don't we fight?" ”

Wang Yan shook his head, looked at Wang Shixiu and said, "Shixiu has guarded Yangzhou with me, and your brother and Mrs. Zhang have guarded Yuezhou, what do you think?" ”

"The meaning of the national duke, the last general knows, whether it is Yangzhou or Yuezhou, we rely on high walls and deep trenches to consume the Qing army, and then look for fighters. Now that I am attacking and defending, and the offense and defense are transposed, we cannot suffer this loss. ”

Wang Yan nodded, Liu Shun's foundation is still too thin, and he still needs to exercise more on the battlefield in order to have the ability to stand alone, otherwise he will not be able to become a handsome talent, and he can only be a general.

Wang Yan nodded, stood up, walked to the sand table, and greeted: "Shi Xiu's idea is exactly what this pavilion means, this pavilion can't do such a thankless thing as attacking it." You all come and see. ”

When everyone heard the words, they all walked to the sand table, and Wang Yan immediately pointed out: "The art of war, the method of using soldiers, ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and if you double it, you will fight it, and the enemy can divide it." Today, the Qing soldiers in Fujian totaled more than 60,000 people, which was about the same as the strength of the pavilion and Chenggong, but the Qing army gathered 30,000 troops in Zhangzhou, leaving Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Anping, Putian, and Yanping with a total of only 30,000 troops. Without the use of this cabinet, Zhang Cunren himself dispersed his troops. What does this mean? ”

When the generals saw Wang Yan's eyes glancing over, their eyes lit up, "Does Guogong want to drive straight into the hinterland of Fujian directly?" ”

"Zhangzhou City is high and strong, it is not a short time to be able to break through, the army is attacking here, the casualties must be huge, if it cannot be attacked for a long time, and the Qing reinforcements are coming, then the pavilion can only withdraw to Guangnan, and then it will become a waste of time and money and food." Wang Yan nodded and pointed to the sand table, "Quanzhou, Putian, and Anping, these are all rich lands, and they are all along the coast, it is difficult to capture them with Zheng Chenggong's strength, but if my army enters, it will be much easier to break them!" As long as one of these cities is laid, the soldiers' rewards will come out, and when two are laid, the soldiers' new clothes and armor will also be settled. In addition, it can also completely disrupt Zhang Cunren's arrangement, and as long as there is chaos in Fujian, fighters will slowly appear. ”

Wang Yan's attack on Zhangzhou this time, in addition to pulling out Zhangzhou, also has a purpose, that is, to make money, as early as when he conquered Wuchang, he realized this.

Hearing Wang Yan's sonorous words, the generals revealed incomparable confidence in their eyes, and their hearts were excited, indeed! In a big city like Quanzhou, everyone can get rich when it is defeated, and everyone's eyes are lit up.

Li Guo and the others glanced at each other, and couldn't help but clench their fists and said: "Guogong is high." ”

Chen Bangyan, a staff member on the side, also nodded, "Quanzhou, Putian, and Anping are all important big cities in Fujian, which one the Guogong fights, Zhang Cunren will be panicked, he wants to save, and the troops are scattered all over the place, if he doesn't save it, the Qing soldiers in the cities in Fujian will be broken by the Guogong each, and they can indeed fully grasp the initiative." It's just that I haven't figured out one thing under my post, the Qing soldiers in Zhangzhou, how the Guogong is going to deal with it, if the army enters the hinterland of central Fujian, the Qing soldiers in Zhangzhou are behind me, and they will definitely not be indifferent, if the soldiers are besieged here, if there are more, they will not be able to gather forces to break through the cities in central Fujian, if there are few, they will not be able to trap Li Chengdong and Tong Yangjia, and when the time comes, the two thieves and Zhang Cunren will cover up and kill before and after, and our army will be in danger of being surrounded and annihilated. ”

Wang Yan patted the edge of the sand table with a palm, and praised the knot: "Mr. Iwano said it well. ”

When Chen Bangyan saw Wang Yan's appearance, he knew that he had a plan in mind, and obviously had a strategy to deal with it a long time ago, so he smiled and said: "Guogong has already had a strategy, please make it clear." ”

There are 30,000 Qing soldiers in Zhangzhou City, even if they want to leave the city now, the 40,000 Ming troops outside the city may not be able to stop it.

Wang Yan then said: "The former Taizu adopted Ye Dui's "city lock method" to break Zhang Shicheng, and the Manchu people also used the strategy of locking the city to surround the Daling River and Jinzhou, and the main force sent reinforcements. Today, Tong and Li put 30,000 Qing soldiers in the city, and our army just used the method of locking the city to trap them in the city. ”

When encountering fortified cities and fortresses, they pass but do not attack, besiege but do not fight, dig deep trenches, and lock up the city with complete fortifications in order to trap the enemy in the city.

Efforts were made to build fortifications, set up obstacles, dig deep trenches, build long walls, and build a line of defense outside the fortified city, such as antlers, pits, and mines, so as to completely isolate the enemy from the inside and outside.

Li Guo and the others understood, "Guogong means to change the offensive to the defensive, as long as the fortifications are built, with a small number of foot soldiers to defend, and enough elite cavalry, the Qing army in Zhangzhou can be trapped in the city." ”

In fact, this method is mostly used by northern nomads, they break through the wall and enter, go south to plunder, encounter some particularly important positions, in order to prevent the army in the city, block their way out, often, partial division lock the city, the main force goes deep into the interior to plunder, and they lock the city by a small number of fortifications, plus a strong enough cavalry, and Wang Yan this time, it is mainly by a large number of fortifications.

At this time, Wang Yan looked at everyone and asked if they still had any opinions, and after receiving the reply from everyone, he immediately waved his iron fist and ordered sonorously: "In this case, send an order to the army and prepare to lock the city." ”

At the head of the city, the conversation between Tong and Li has ended, they looked at the Ming army camp under the city, ready to meet the attack of the Ming army, but it was densely packed in the camp tent of the Ming army, but the Ming army did not come out and prepare for the siege of the city.

More than 30,000 people from Guangnan began to dig outside the city, pushing wheelbarrows, carrying baskets, and shovels, while 6,000 Ming cavalry took cover.

They were all out of range of the city's artillery fire, so they were very safe, and they didn't have to worry about danger and dug up the earth with all their might.

The city was in full swing, but the Qing army in the city was at a loss when it was ready to meet the fierce attack of the Ming army. ”

Li Chengdong's face was a little strange, the Qing soldiers often drove the people to fill the river, digging the soil is not such a digging method, this is obviously to dig a deep trench, want to trap him, and then withdraw into the hinterland of Fujian, the layout of the Qing army is completely disrupted.

"Come on, gather the soldiers and horses, and go to battle with this town."

(Thanks to Qin Songwang, the second middle school died tsundere, and the reward of the death of the battle.) )
