In fact, Zhang Mingyuan repeatedly emphasized when making a military intelligence report that this tactic was proposed by Mr. Xiao Chen, and I was only following his orders.
But Zhuge Xiaosheng believed that the boss Xiao Chen was already a god-like existence in the Yanyun Army, and he could no longer be a god. Otherwise, it would be easy for people to suspect that this was fraud and personality worship, so he was deleted directly.
Xiao Chen doesn't care about this at all. He only wants results, not reputation. The current results have made him very satisfied.
Looking at the fragments of the armored siege vehicles under the city, and the blazing fire on the hilltop in the distance, dancing happily, you see, I said yes, you still don’t believe it!
Come on, praise me. I'm ready to be humble...
Then everyone devoted themselves to commanding the operation. Apart from thanking the artillery brothers for their strong support, no one praised him.
Even Li Qiu didn't praise him. It's not that he didn't admire him, but he just couldn't praise him anymore.
Your boy is already wise and powerful to the point where humans and gods are angry. If I praise you again, I'm afraid you'll be proud!
"My lord, do you think I have some military talent?" Since no one praised him, Xiao Chen could only praise himself.
Li Qiu rolled his eyes and ignored him. Only a bunch of military staff nodded.
"What do you think of Mingyuan's suggestion just now?" Xiao Chen felt that since he had military talent, he might as well develop his talent for a while.
"You didn't say it was nonsense just now, why did you bring it up again?" Li Qiu said.
"I just thought about it, let alone saying it's really feasible." Xiao Chen turned to everyone, "What do you think?"
"My subordinates have just thought about it. General Mingyuan's proposal is really feasible in theory. If we have enough troops and time to establish a stable position on the hilltop in advance, it will be like a sharp thorn that can directly penetrate It got into Duan Fengnian's flesh and made him extremely uncomfortable." A young staff officer said.
"But this is only an afterthought. I didn't do it at the beginning, but it will be difficult to do it now." Another middle-aged staff officer said, "First of all, how to transport the cannon under Duan Fengnian's eyes? How to build a position? One thousand How much food is needed to station a human-sized army? At least this month..."
"What if we launch a feint attack at night, build the plank road openly, and attack Chencang secretly?" Xiao Chen said.
"Huh?" The staff members were all slightly startled when they heard this, because they felt that this seemed feasible in theory, but...
"Who is that? Go and find General Lin Yue, as well as the Yanyun Army Civil Engineering Battalion and the commander in charge of logistics and transportation. Let's discuss it and see if it is feasible." Xiao Chen was not sure about himself either. Whether this idea is feasible or not, but judging from the expressions of these staff officers, it seems that it is possible, plus my military talent...
This is actually not his military talent, but something proposed by Zhang Mingyuan.
A temporary military meeting was held in the city tower where Zhengtian was called to study the battle plan.
"If twenty cannons can be transported there, and the civil engineering battalion brothers help." Zhang Mingyuan said, "My subordinates can build a circular artillery position in half a day. If it is night, more guns may be needed. time."
"Artillery alone is not enough. We must deploy musketeers and archers to defend more effectively. One thousand people is too few. We need at least 1,500 people." Zhang Heng said.
"I think musketeers are enough. As long as they dig a trench on the mountainside and place the muskets, it will be difficult for them to attack. Cavalry cannot be used on this slope, so infantry can only be used. So if there is enough ammunition, theoretically I can stay there for three to five days, no problem." Lin Yue said.
"If we have enough time, we can also set up some horse-repelling spikes in the gentler slopes at the foot of the mountain, which can also block the infantry attack." The camp leader of the civil engineering battalion under Lin Yue is called Sun Changshan, because he is short and has a sharp mouth. He has a gill, ugly appearance, and is familiar with civil engineering, so he was nicknamed Tu Xingsun.
So the key is time and concealment. So the so-called feint attack must be as real as it is real, and it must last for at least three hours. A small-scale sneak attack will definitely not work. It will take at least thousands of troops to deal with it for such a long time. , and the casualties must be huge.
It is debatable whether it is worthwhile to pay such a high price to establish such a position.
"As long as this position can be established, I think it will be worth it no matter how much it costs." Zhang Heng said, "With this position, our passive defense can be more active. At least Duan Fengnian's camp will not be stable. , must retreat several miles away, and when he attacks again, he must have some scruples."
"I think so too, but if I were Duan Fengnian, I would pull out this nail at all costs, so this position will definitely be attacked violently in the next few days." Lin Feixiong said, "So I think one thousand five hundred There are really too few people, so it’s difficult to defend it, and we need 3,000 people anyway.”
But there is a problem. Once the hilltop is lost, all three thousand people will be wiped out, and no one will survive.
So far, everyone is still talking about it on paper, because no matter how fanciful you talk, it is useless, it still depends on actual combat.
It also requires the decision-making of the coach.
The current situation is that everyone basically agrees to establish a position on this mountain, but they are also a little concerned about gains and losses. The most fearful thing is that the gains are not worth the losses.
Because it is good that this plan is successful, but if it fails, it will cause casualties of less than 10,000 people!
This loss is unbearable.
And how long can the brothers on the battlefield persist in the dilemma of fighting alone and being ambushed from all sides?
How long do you need to persist?
"If you let me go down and give you three thousand soldiers, I can hold on for half a month without any problem!" Commander Yan Yun said, "But there are several prerequisites. First, the food must be enough. Second, there must be enough food. It must be able to keep warm, otherwise everyone will freeze to death in this weather and cannot fight at all. Thirdly, there must be at least fifty armored ballistas!"
"Your boy is from the Knight Cavalry Guard, right?" Xiao Chen saw that the commander was tall and tall, like a black iron tower. It was unnecessary to ask that he was from the Knight Cavalry Guard. "Your name is Xue Guanshan, right?"
"Back to the boss, I have Xue Guanshan under his command, but he has nothing to do with Xue Jinshan." In every battle we went to, my subordinates participated.”
According to the Yanyun military system, the squad leader is equivalent to the squad leader, leading a dozen brothers, the platoon leader is equivalent to the platoon leader, leading about fifty people, the company leader is the company commander, usually with a scale of 200 people, and the battalion leader is the battalion commander. , with about 600 people under his command. The battalion leader came forward as the captain, who was equivalent to the regiment leader, and had about 2,000 people under his command.
