"Not that easy?"
Zhuge Weidao looked at Mu Zhongjun with suspicion... This Mu Zhongjun looked a little timid! Letting him be the admiral of the Southern Continental Army seems to be a mistake!
The fact that Mu Zhongjun became the admiral of the Southern Continent Army is related to Zhuge Weidao, because Mu Zhongjun and Zheng Guoxian are both "rear party members", and Zhuge Weidao is also very close to Empress Dowager Zheng. Therefore, when selecting the admiral of the Southern Continent Army, Zhuge Weidao recommended Mu Zhongjun to the military division. Since the Zhuge family members have been deeply engaged in the navy these years, there are no suitable candidates in the army. Therefore, the military advisors in the military advisor group all nodded. After all, Mu Zhongjun is also the eldest member of the eight aristocratic families, and is the current King of Guizhou!
The Zheng family also supported Mu Zhongjun under the operation of Zheng Yuhuan and Zheng Guoxian.
Coupled with the support of the Mu family themselves, three of the eight aristocratic families supported Mu Zhongjun in taking command of the Southern Continent.
The remaining five aristocratic families could not recommend a more powerful candidate, so the matter was settled.
Unexpectedly, this Mu Zhongjun looked very brave, but actually turned out to be a coward on the battlefield!
Mu Zhongjun's reaction to Zhuge Weidao is not surprising at all... Because Zhuge Weidao, the "Zhuge Military Advisor", has been relatively "reckless" in recent years, he was nicknamed "The Brave Champion of the Three Armies and the Fierce Zhuge".
Among those with the surname Zhuge, except for King Zhuge Wuzhong, who had been conquering east and west for fifty years, Zhuge was the most courageous as a Taoist.
If this Zhuge had arrived at the time of the Three Kingdoms, he would have been a fierce general who could "fight Cao Cao with a white horse and a silver spear, and attack Zhou Lang in a battle on the river"!
Thinking of this, Mu Zhongjun stood up with a smile, walked to a map hanging on a bulkhead, then pointed at the map and said to Zhuge Weidao: "Taozi, look here...this is Tai Bulltop Mountain is part of the Great Dividing Range. After passing this mountain ridge, the terrain gradually drops down and becomes relatively flat. Now Hugh Gough's army is marching along the western foot of the Great Dividing Range and is expected to arrive in 7 days At the foot of Table Top Mountain, I will use these 7 days to build a "Great Wall" along Table Top Mountain to block Hugh Gough's cavalry. "
"Build the Great Wall?"
Zhuge Weidao was a little dumbfounded.
Using the "Great Wall" to deal with the "Mongolian cavalry" is an old method passed down from the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty... But now the Ming Dynasty has armored vehicles and bombers!
Mu Zhongjun then said: "Daozi, your fleet will sail south in six days, sail to the vicinity of Sydney Bay, and then start bombing Jackson Naval Port and downtown Sydney...At the same time, send minesweepers to the north and south of Sydney Bay. Activities near the beaches on both sides, pretending to clear mines."
"Is this... a trick to seduce Hugh Gaofu?"
Zhuge Weidaoxin said: "You Mu Zhongjun is so cunning that you can use a flying dragon to ride on your face...you are too cunning!"
Mu Zhongjun nodded and said: "Soldiers never tire of deceit...Although the advantage lies with me, I still have to use the right strategy. If Hugh Goff learns that our fleet has all gone to Sydney Bay, and we The siege here in Brisbane has been unsuccessful for many days. It must be thought that we have transferred the main force to carry out a surprise attack near Sydney Bay, and the attack on Brisbane is a feint.
This would allow him to launch an onslaught against our "Great Wall" defense line on Mount Tyburtop...and we could use this opportunity to drain his morale, supplies, and lives. Hugh Gough came from a long distance this time, and it was impossible to bring too many supplies and ammunition. It is estimated that his attack will be exhausted after 5-7 days, and it will not exceed 8 days at most. I have led the cavalry, and I know the logistics of the cavalry best. Even if there are one person and two horses, a large number of carriages accompanying them, and there is grass to feed the horses along the way, the troops can maintain an attack for 5-7 days.
Therefore, I will dispatch tank troops on the 6th or 7th day, depending on the situation, to quickly penetrate behind the British, and cooperate with the infantry in front to outflank the British army, forcing them to break through and retreat. I will then use the tank troops to stick to the British. The army pursued them all the way...At the same time, they dispatched aircraft to bomb the British army's logistics line and the retreating British army, denying Hugh Goff's army any supplies and a chance to breathe! "
Zhuge Weidao was stunned at this time. Isn't this the "worship offensive and magnet tactics"? Mu Zhong
How could you do that? Could it be that he is too...
"Your Majesty," Zhuge Weidao finally gave him a thumbs up, "You are so clever. I'm afraid Hugh Gaofu will die without a burial place this time!"
Mu Zhongjun waved his hand and said, "Daozi, tell me these words... I learned this magnet strategy that is designed to defeat the enemy's short-term offensive from your ancestor!"
correct!
Zhuge Weidao finally remembered that Mu Zhongjun's style of play was used by King Zhuge Wuzhong... After King Zhuge Wuzhong completed the governance and land reform in the south, the Ming army's logistics had been very difficult. It is guaranteed and its firepower is relatively superior, but its mobility is still poor. Therefore, his usual tactics are "luring the enemy to attack, showing weakness in defense, exhausting the enemy to counterattack, and using a magnet to stick to the enemy."
Even though it is such a simple set of tactics, it works well every time and rarely fails... Because after King Zhuge Wu Zhong reorganized the wealthy land in the south, he never encountered anyone who could compete with him. , opponents fighting for supplies. Even with heavy cavalry assault, King Wu Zhong's Xin Ming army was not at all inferior.
The only shortcoming is that the mobility of the troops is slightly poor.
Since this set of tactics is so easy to use, it has naturally been passed down from generation to generation by the education system of the Ming Army.
As for Mu Zhongjun, a legion admiral who had been a soldier for twenty years and had been promoted to general but with almost zero actual combat experience, he naturally could only fight according to textbooks.
However, this old ancestral method seems to be suitable for dealing with Hugh Gough.
Now Hugh Gough's firepower, supplies, and assault capabilities are all greatly outstripped by his opponents. And the only thing that can be used is the mobility of the cavalry... In fact, its mobility cannot match the Ming army's armored vehicles, but not everyone in the Ming army that has landed in Australia has a car to sit in.
If everyone is a wheeled armored vehicle, wouldn't it become a mechanized force? The current Ming Army's army is not that broad. After all, the automobile was only invented not many years ago.
Therefore, there are only a few troops equipped with wheeled armored vehicles, and the large troops cannot catch up with Hugh Gough's cavalry on the grasslands.
However, Hugh Goff cannot win by running alone.
He still has to find opportunities for decisive battles in sports.
And this opportunity... Within a few days after Hugh Gough left Sydney, it seemed to gradually appear, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
Because the Brisbane Fortress, which was not well-guarded, was temporarily defended by the Ming army's "intensive attack" by the landing troops!
The reason why the fortress can be defended, according to the report sent by the long-wave radio station of the fortress defenders, is that the heavy artillery of the landing Ming army is insufficient, and the strength of the troops seems to be limited.
Although these Ming troops performed very well in the landing battle and the subsequent fierce pursuit. But after entering the siege stage, their stamina was not enough.
Although the Brisbane Fortress is old, the location of this fortress is very particular. It is more than 20 kilometers away from the coastline, which can avoid attacks from the sea.
If the Ming army had not pulled a large number of heavy artillery ashore, then they could really have destroyed the cannons on the walls of the Brisbane Fortress... Without the cannons, it would have been difficult to successfully attack the fortress and conduct field battles on land.
