Within five days, news of the northern army's attack had reached Gusu City.
At this time, Lin Wenwan was staring at the map, lost in thought.
The lieutenants beside them had no doubts about Lin Wenwan. During this period, if Lin Wenwan had not been in charge of Gusu City, Gusu City would not even be able to stop Sun Bo's vanguard.
Everything depends on human effort, no matter how strong the city of Gusu is and how many defenders there are.
Without a qualified commander, they are just a bunch of headless flies.
At this moment, Lin Wenwan's voice suddenly sounded.
"How many people are left in Sun Bo's vanguard army?"
The deputy general named Ma Du on the side quickly raised his fists in salute and responded in a deep voice.
"Mrs. Qi Zhen, a rough estimate is that there are less than 5,000 people in Sun Bo's vanguard army."
"After the battle for the city gate, Pioneer Sun Bo's fighting spirit has been low. In addition, during this period, Madam has been giving orders and taking the initiative to attack."
"Sun Bo's vanguard continues to lose troops and generals, and it is already at the end of its war effort."
Lin Wenwan nodded, but was not at all proud of this "good news".
On the contrary, her eyes became more solemn.
"Sun Bo's vanguard army has been able to sustain itself until now, which is extremely detrimental to our army."
As soon as these words came out, all the generals present were stunned.
They didn't understand that Sun Bo's vanguard army had almost collapsed, and the balance of victory had completely tipped to the side of Gusu City.
Why does Lin Wenwan have the ambition of others to destroy his own prestige?
Lin Wenwan naturally understood the doubts in everyone's hearts and immediately explained softly.
"The previous battle for the city gate was not a decisive battle."
"In other words, Sun Bo's vanguard army is basically the vanguard. If it can continue to put pressure on Gusu City, it has completed its mission."
"If Sun Bo cannot be completely defeated before Qin Feng's army reaches Gusu City, once the two forces merge, it will naturally be extremely dangerous for us."
Ma Du couldn't help frowning: "Madam, after experiencing the battle for the city gate, we have realized the combat power of Qin Feng's army."
"Of course we will not be careless and underestimate the enemy, but...according to reliable information, the army sent by Qin Feng is 10,000 cavalry."
"Cavalry used to attack fortresses is tantamount to seeking death."
"Why do you, madam, attach so much importance to this cavalry?"
These southern generals had never fought against Qin Feng. In addition, their only military pressure came from the Central Plains and Emperor Liang.
Therefore, he specializes in dealing with the imperialists in the Central Plains and has done little research on the war in the north.
They didn't realize how dangerous Qin Feng's move was.
In order for them to understand the situation clearly, Lin Wenwan could only explain patiently.
"Qin Feng will attack the city, but not in the way you think of it."
"Qin Feng's plan is not to attack, but to besiege. Attacking the city is just the last step."
"His intention of sending so many cavalry is extremely obvious, which is to continuously cut off the connection between Gusu City and the rear."
"Ultimately, Gusu City will be turned into an isolated city. At that time, Qin Feng can slowly kill Gusu City in an orderly manner."
The generals looked at each other in confusion, obviously doubting Qin Feng's "tactics".
Before they could ask questions, Lin Wenwan had already put it bluntly: "In your opinion, trying to cut off the Southern Territory is nothing more than wishful thinking?"
"Haha, that only proves that you have too little knowledge."
"Although the city-states in the south rely on each other, they are still hundreds of miles apart from each other."
"This distance, for the infantry, even if it is a rapid march, it will have to be done day and night."
"And for the cavalry, it's just a snap of a finger."
"At that time, our side, which is dominated by infantry, can only be led by Qin Feng. If we want to hold on to the city, we must adopt a defensive and counterattack posture."
"Then our greatest advantage will be weakened."
Before this, Qin Feng had sent 3,000 Beixi Qingqi, and now he had sent 10,000 more cavalry.
A total of thirteen thousand pure cavalry!
Such a terrifying scale made even Lin Wenwan secretly stunned, thinking that Qin Feng's strength had grown to such an extent.
You must know that even the entire Liang Dynasty may not be able to mobilize a cavalry army of this size.
Only Beidi in its heyday had such ability.
It can be seen from this that Qin Feng has invested a lot of money in "war horses", and now is the time when Qin Feng has accumulated a lot of resources and demonstrated the advantages of the cavalry army.
Moreover, Qin Feng's strategic intention of sending pure cavalry was extremely clear.
The overall layout is divided into three steps. The first is logistics warfare, which relies on the mobility advantage of the cavalry to continuously penetrate the southern border and eliminate all logistics troops that may be encountered.
If the southern border sends troops to protect the logistics line, it will be even more passive.
If the number is too small, the cavalry will quickly gather superior forces and destroy them in one go.
If there are too many people, it will be a huge test for logistics.
As long as the logistics line is disrupted, we can proceed to the second step, siege.
Rear support is unsustainable, and Gusu City can only rely on itself, but Qin Feng's cavalry is all around, and the city cannot send out a large army to attack.
Then, the subsequent infantry units sent to the battlefield can encircle Gusu City in an orderly manner and consume it.
When Qin Feng was in Beidi, he carried out a critical battle. All kinds of catapults and crossbows were used in turns. He was able to disturb the city with almost no bloodshed.
Once entering this situation, for Gusu City, defeat is only a matter of time.
After taking Gusu City, Qin Feng's strategic plan has reached the final step and is fully advanced.
Relying on the city of Gusu, they continued to attack southward, attacking cities when encountering them, and demolishing strongholds when encountering them.
After hearing Lin Wenwan's analysis, the generals present expressed their admiration for Lin Wenwan.
At the same time, they finally realized that the Qin Feng they would face next was different from any enemy in the past.
If he still followed his past war experience, he would definitely be beaten by Qin Feng to the point where his mother would not even recognize him.
"Madam, what should we do next?"
Faced with Ma Du's inquiry, Lin Wenwan blurted out: "Destroy Sun Bo's pioneer before Qin Feng's army arrives."
"As long as this infantry battle is gone, Qin Feng's cavalry army will lose its support."
"Whether it will be a logistical war or a dogfight after closing the door is yet to be determined."
Realize that Sun Bo's vanguard is the key in the early stage.
A group of Gusu City generals immediately took the order and commanded the army to launch a fierce attack on Sun Bo's station.
At the same time, the situation on Sun Bo's side was already in danger.
The former general of the Gyeonggi garrison did not hesitate to put on his own armor and go into battle, leading an army in a bloody battle with the Gusu City rebels.
Unfortunately, there are too many people on the other side.
In addition, after a series of fierce battles, our side is exhausted, and defeat is a foregone conclusion.
