Chapter 730: The soldiers are divided into four ways
Compared with the [Yunnan City-State] in a remote corner, the [Lingnan City-State] not only borders the [Xiangnan City-State] geographically, but also is the initiator and core member of the alliance of the four major city-states. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ruan Ping is at the forefront of the fight against Shanhai City.
Therefore, once the [Lingnan City-State] is destroyed, the alliance of the four major city-states is equivalent to abolishing half. If you take the opportunity to destroy the [Yunnan City-State], the enemy's strategy will be self-defeating.
However, as the first city-state in China, [Lingnan City-State] is the most mature in operation, with very strong internal cohesion, and the relationship with [Yanhuang League] is also extraordinary.
It is very difficult to take down the [Lingnan City-State] through conventional means.
It is conceivable that if Shanhai City chooses to attack [Yunnan City-State] first, then the day when [Yunnan City-State] is destroyed will be the opportunity for the remaining three city-states to cooperate to a higher level.
If the three major city-states are connected as one, they will block the northward path of Shanhai City.
All of these have decided that if you want to break through the horizontal, you must first take the [Lingnan City-State].
There is another advantage to Shanhai City taking the [Lingnan City-State], because to the east of Lingnan Province, it is the Jiangchuan Province where the siege lion is located and the southern Fujian Province where the Dragon Hunting Point is located.
Breaking through the [Lingnan City-State], the defensive pressure on the east side of Shanhai City will be greatly reduced. You can draw your hand and concentrate on dealing with [Northern Sichuan City-State] and [Southern Shonan City-State].
In other words, Ouyang Shuo's strategy of fighting against foreign countries can be implemented, and ASEAN can be cleaned up instead.
The only accident may be the turmoil at the Dragon Hunting Point. Even so, an established strategy that can't change Shanhai City.
************
Zhenhai City, the big tent of the Chinese army.
In the flickering lights, Huo Quzhi was dressed in military uniform, stood up, his expression was solemn, heroic, and said solemnly: "The king's secret order!" As he spoke, he solemnly took out an edict.
"Order!"
"Brush", Fan Lihua, Shi Wansui and the three generals of Evil came saluted at the same time.
Seeing the edict, such as the king in person.
Huo Quzhi slowly unfolded the Yellow Silk Edict and read it out: "The Imperial Decree, the Praetorian Guard Legion, the Second Legion of the Longxiang Army, the Third Legion of the Tiger Army, and the City Guard Legion are temporarily reorganized into the Eastern Expeditionary Army. The general Huo Qubing was appointed as the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and the matter of the Eastern Expedition could be decided by the commander in one word, such as a lonely person. ”
As he spoke, Huo Quzhi took out the talisman and showed it to the three generals.
"Obey the command!"
Shi Wansui and the three of them bowed again, and their expressions were not surprised.
Among the four generals, Huo Qubing is not only the only god general, but also has the highest military rank, and he is also a legendary general. Huo Quzhi is in charge of the army, and Shi Wansui and the three of them naturally have no opinion.
"Meet the Commander!"
Shi Wansui and the three of them bowed to Huo Quai's illness and established a subordinate relationship.
Huo Quzhi nodded, his starry eyes shone brightly, and he was faintly excited in his heart. This was the first time since he joined Shanhai City that he had truly commanded an army independently, and he commanded nearly 300,000 troops as soon as he came up.
Even during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing had never been in charge of such a large army.
Under the tent of the expeditionary force, the stars are even brighter, fierce as evil, brave as long live history, heroic as Fan Lihua, all of them are famous generals in the world. The twenty division commanders under the four major army corps are also the best choices.
Huo Qubing knew that he had to prove his worth as a god general through this battle. After settling down, Huo Qu's illness began to order, and said loudly: "Long live Shi!" ”
"The last general!"
"Appoint you as a former general, lead your troops to advance along the central part of Jiaozhou County, annihilate all enemies along the way, and capture all the main cities." Huo Quzhi handed out the first talisman.
"Obey the general's orders!"
Shi Wansui looked excited, and took the talisman with both hands.
As the name suggests, the former general is a veritable vanguard. The fact that the marshal handed over this important task to the Second Legion of the Long Xiang Army is enough to prove that he attaches great importance to them and is the greatest praise for them.
When the evil came to see Fan Lihua, they all showed envy.
"Fan Lihua!" Huo Quai's illness continued.
"The last general!"
Fan Lihua is also dressed in military uniform, with a crisp voice, but she is powerful and does not let her eyebrows go.
"Appoint you as the right general, lead your troops to attack along the east of Jiaozhou County, take a detour all the way, attack the city and pull out the wall, and at the same time be ready to respond to the front army at any time, and you must not act without authorization." Huo Quzhi solemnly ordered.
"Obey the general's orders!"
Fan Lihua nodded solemnly, she led her troops to be stationed in Zhenhai City, which is considered to be the geographical pass of half of Lingnan Province, and it is most suitable for her to lead her troops to take charge of the detour.
As for the strategy against the front army, it is the proper meaning of the question.
In the ancient period of cold weapon warfare, in any major battle, after the number of troops exceeded 100,000, it was impossible to gather all the troops together, but the troops had to be divided into several routes.
There are three main reasons for this.
First, the supply of grain and grass materials.
The biggest problem in ancient warfare was the supply of grain and grass. If the army exceeds 100,000, the amount of grain and grass needed will be an astronomical amount, and the auxiliary army responsible for transporting grain and grass will increase exponentially.
The burden on the country is enough to drag a rich country into the abyss and never recover.
There are countless similar events in history, the most famous of which is the three expeditions of Emperor Yang of Sui to Goguryeo, and a large amount of grain and grass was transported from the south to the far north.
Before the grain and grass of a wheelbarrow could be transported to its destination, the grain was eaten by the driver who transported the grain on the road. When the grain was finally delivered, there were only dilapidated wheelbarrows left, which was jaw-dropping.
Fortunately, in this war, the supply of grain and grass is not too much of a problem.
In the third year of Gaia, there was not a single one in the territory that survived without food. Therefore, the granaries of the cities along the way will be full of grain.
What's more, it's September, and the first crop of rice has just been harvested, so the grain and grass are more abundant, so the army can completely replenish along the way, collect grain on the spot, and feed the war.
Second, the issue of operational command.
In ancient times, there was no well-developed communications command system of the modern army, and individual command was even more delusional.
When a major war begins, the army commander can only dispatch a large army on a large scale, and a careless mistake may cause the command to be interrupted, and when the time comes, the army will either fight separately or scatter and flee.
Even the top god generals are not capable of commanding an army of more than 100,000 at a time.
A professional army like Shanhaicheng is fine, well-trained in peacetime, and the military establishment is more scientific and rational with reference to the modern military establishment.
In ancient times, many armies were called up temporarily.
One mistake is the end of a collective escape.
The famous battle of Weishui in history is like this, the army led by Fu Jian has not yet fought with the army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it will collapse without a fight.
And the Battle of Weishui is the next battle.
Third, the question of marching.
After all, the width of the ancient official road is limited, and if an army of more than 100,000 marches at one time, it will form a very terrifying long dragon.
Not to mention that there is no end in sight, it takes several hours to run from the front to the back on horseback. In many cases, the front army has already been engaged, and the rear army is still slowly rushing to the battlefield.
…………
In the tent of the Chinese army, the point will continue.
"Evil comes!" Huo Quzhi called out the last name.
"The last general!"
Evil came out like an iron tower, and walked out in a rough voice.
"Appoint you as General Zuo, lead your troops to attack along the west of Jiaozhou County, march all the way, attack the city and pull out the village, be ready to respond to the front army at any time, and you must not act without authorization." Huo Quzhi issued a similar military order.
"Obey the general's orders!" Evil came to take the talisman.
In this way, the three-way army will form a trident and pierce into the heart of the [Lingnan City-State].
Jiaozhou County is not only the largest county in Lingnan Province, but also the most developed county. Take Jiaozhou County, and wait until more than half of the forces of the [Lingnan City-State] are destroyed.
More importantly, the 150,000 allied troops of the [Lingnan City-State] were gathering at the junction of Jiaozhou County and Zhaoqing County to confront the First and Second Legions of the Tiger Ben Army led by Sun Bin.
Huo Quzhi's purpose was to link up with the Tiger Ben Army and annihilate the 150,000 allied troops first.
"Take the Allies, and the battle will be half the battle." Huo Quzhi said impassionedly.
Shi Wansui and others are also in high spirits.
"But," Huo Quai's words changed, his expression was solemn, and his starry eyes rose, "The enemy army has the home field advantage and can teleport at any time. If one is not good, it may break our army individually. ”
The army of Shanhai City can move greatly, and the allied forces of [Lingnan City-State] are naturally not a problem.
Teleporting the three major legions, Shanhai City alone consumed 210,000 gold coins for the one-way teleportation fee. At the moment of crisis, Ruan Ping and others will never hesitate to pay for transmission.
In this way, with the major cities as nodes, the allies can form a teleportation network. I don't dare to say more, but they can still afford to teleport two or three times.
"This means that the enemy may appear in any of the main cities that we have not breached. Therefore, the army of all roads must push over to ensure that not a single fish slips through the net in our rear. Huo Quzhi continued, "More importantly, the three-way army must keep in touch at all times. ”
"Once the enemy army sets up an ambush in a certain city and wants to ambush us, the other two armies should rush to reinforcements in the shortest possible time."
"Understood!" Shi Wansui and the others nodded.
This kind of hardship was encountered by the army of Shanhai City when attacking Leizhou County and Zhaoqing County.
Huo Quzhi knew that all the people present were famous generals in the world, so he didn't need to mention too much, and said with a smile: "The enemy army is in ambush, which is both a crisis and an opportunity. The Black Snake Guard and the Shanhaiwei under the king's account have already laid a net in Lingnan Province. No matter which city the enemy is teleporting to, we will be the first to know. ”
The current intelligence network of Shanhai City is no longer comparable to the attack on Leizhou County and Zhaoqing County. Ouyang Shuo smashed millions of gold coins, how could he do useless work.
If the [Lingnan City-State] wants to use this to fight an ambush for the army of Shanhai City, I am afraid that it will be a mistake and a mistake, and it will definitely plant a big heel.
"Once we've determined the enemy's teleportation location, we're going to lock them down. Cooperate with the tiger army in the west, surround them in one fell swoop and trap them in the city. Huo Quzhi said.
"Understood!"
