From a strategic and tactical level, Zhou Shicheng is far ahead of everyone under Song Ziyu.
This kind of leadership requires a combination of talent and actual combat, as well as excellent military literacy.
As it happens, Zhou Shicheng has both.
…
After his troops left Guanglan City, Zhou Shicheng went straight to Xiangcheng, the strategic center.
Outside Xiangcheng, the two sides had a direct confrontation!
In this battle, both sides' vehicles, horses and artillery fought hard, but the result was somewhat unexpected.
The Miluo Crusade Army led by Chi Shangxiong was unable to withstand the frontal offensive under Zhou Shicheng's command, and was faintly defeated.
make a prompt decision!
Chi Shangxiong abandoned Xiangcheng and led his troops to retreat.
Throw away your armor!
The Miluo army discarded a large amount of baggage, and Zhou Shicheng won another battle.
Seeing that the enemy looked like a bear, many generals speculated that the previous defeat at Guanglan City had made the Miluo Army still uneasy!
This is the more critical reason why the opponent's combat power is greatly damaged and he retreats in panic!
With this consensus, many generals in the Western Expedition Army raised their tails again.
Some people even stood up and asked the leadership to bite the opponent's tail and not give Chi Shangxiong a chance to retreat safely.
Faced with a once-in-a-lifetime pursuit opportunity, Zhou Shicheng, who had always fought harder than anyone else, changed his normal attitude and announced that the troops would not advance. The army was supplying supplies on the spot in Xiangcheng. No one was allowed to attack without authorization. Anyone who violated the order would be severely punished in accordance with military law.
…
This order is like asking a wild horse to stop its hooves.
Many people are obviously unhappy.
But it turned out that Zhou Shicheng's series of operations really predicted the enemy's opportunity. Chi Shangxiong led his ambush troops and waited in the dense forest outside Xiangcheng for three full days!
Three days!
Zhou Shicheng had no intention of sending troops!
Chi Shangxiong lay in the woods and ate dirt for three days. He pooped in his crotch. Many soldiers had mushrooms growing on their bodies... But he did not wait for the enemy. In the end, Chi Shangxiong had no choice but to order his subordinates in disgrace. retreat.
After the Miluo Army was defeated, Abbot Song Ziyu presided over everyone to review the battle situation. Tang Jian and Zhang Dahu were very curious and asked how Zhou Shicheng had seen through Chi Shangxiong's strategy of pretending to be defeated and intending to launch a sneak attack.
Zhou Shicheng just replied calmly, although Chi Shangxiong was defeated in the battle to capture Xiangcheng, the retreating army was defeated without chaos. Even the discarded baggage was selectively discarded. This must be an ambush.
After hearing Zhou Shicheng's words, Tang Jian and Zhang Dahu suddenly realized.
It turns out that the battle between famous generals is not only a confrontation between the big picture and grand strategy, but also the control of details and psychological speculation.
…
After the battle in Xiangcheng, Zhou Shicheng spent three days repairing.
The rested army was rejuvenated and became more vigorous and fierce.
Three days later, Zhou Shicheng sent his army to continue the conquest!
This time, Zhou Shicheng showed the powerful demeanor of a famous general!
Zhou Shicheng divided two partial divisions. The most mobile partial division had about 500 people, all equipped with mountain off-road vehicles... These mountain off-road vehicles were vacated by Song Ziyu from the missile bases and arsenals in the Zhijiang Basin. They are now unified Led by Zhang Dahu.
Zhou Shicheng ordered Zhang Dahu to take this highly maneuverable Biao army to make a detour and then directly penetrate into the Huishui area.
The Huishui area is not very eye-catching on the map, but it is seven inches away from the long supply route of Miluo's army.
Because the Huishui area has flat terrain and clean water sources, it is Chi Shangxiong's best choice to supply resources from Miluo City State.
But there was no danger to defend this place, so we did not choose to build a city here at first.
Hit the snake seven inches!
Zhou Shicheng asked Zhang Dahu to lead a mobile unit equipped with mountain and off-road vehicles to raid, with the purpose of cutting off Chi Shangxiong's frontline supplies.
???????????????Of course, Zhou Shicheng believed that with Chi Shangxiong's ability, he would definitely not be able to easily cut off his supply line, but he only needed to harass him enough to bother him.
Next Zhou Shicheng continued to arrange.
The second partial division was led by Zuo Zhen and Yu Ke, with more than 4,000 troops.
This partial division divided its forces and went north to attack Wancheng, which was occupied by Chi Shangxiong.
Zuo Zhen had already shown his value in fighting with Zhou Shicheng before, and therefore gained Zhou Shicheng's trust.
After all, he is a general trained by the Northern Steel Alliance military academy, and his command level is quite good!
…
Zuo Zhen received Zhou Shicheng's order and set off with more than 4,000 men under his command.
This group of troops were all formed from the backbone of the original Third Division. Although their strength was not as good as that of the Longshan soldiers, they were not much different.
This group of people were still wary in Song Ziyu's hands and did not dare to let them go.
But when Zhou Shicheng came here, he didn't care at all.
Why?
Because everyone is here to surrender.
As the saying goes, the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother, the ingredients are the same.
If there is any difference, it must be because Zhou Shicheng "brought capital to invest" while Zuo Zhen was completely subdued and forced to join.
Everyone is of similar composition, so Zhou Shicheng can use Zuo Zhen with ease!
Not only that, Zhou Shicheng also deliberately gathered Zuo Zhen's troops together, and then led Zuo Zhen himself. This kind of "favor of knowing someone" made Zuo Zhen very convinced of Zhou Shicheng.
This time Zuo Zhen led his troops straight to Wancheng, and he began to ponder a question in his mind.
Zhou Shicheng met with him to discuss the opportunity. At this time, he led his army to attack Wancheng. His purpose was not Wancheng at all.
Just take a piece of Wancheng as soon as you say it!
The real purpose of this battle was to take the opportunity to force the main local forces to show up for a decisive battle. Zhou Shicheng was entrusted with the important task of letting thousands of his men create the illusion that Zhou Shicheng's main force was going to capture Wancheng.
As for Zhou Shicheng himself, he will lead his troops to ambush on the only way to Wancheng...
Zhou Shicheng has chosen the battlefield and plans to give Chi Shangxiong a black tiger blow to his heart.
How to get Ji Shangxiong into the game?
This requires some skills.
How to make the defenders panic and ask for help from Chi Shangxiong?
This is a technical question.
Zuo Zhen couldn't be reckless and beat the opponent to death, let alone let the opponent see through his true strength.
In order to solve this problem, Zuo Zhen can be said to be very clever.
finally!
It really gave Zuo Zhen a way to figure it out.
…
When the army approached Wancheng, Zuo Zhen did not immediately lead his army to attack the city.
On the contrary, Zuo Zhen divided his army into two. One part of the army was stationed in the woods outside Wancheng, and the other part was arranged by Zuo Zhen in Geng. Above the rolling hills in the distance.
The soldiers in the woods cut down a large number of branches and made thousands of forked brooms.
After the brooms were finished, everyone started cleaning up the forest!
Thousands of people were shouting together, and they were not afraid of getting pneumoconiosis. They just made the dust fly all over the sky.
Looking from the direction of Wancheng, the forest was so dark that it seemed as if countless soldiers and horses had been hidden to cause the smoke to rise straight into the sky.
This is just one move!
The soldiers stationed on the mountains built hundreds of flagpoles from felled trees, and then hung all kinds of colorful underwear on the flagpoles to serve as flags.
These hundreds of pairs of underwear fluttering in the wind are like hundreds of flags fluttering, highlighting the majesty of a person!
The atmosphere seemed to be in place, but Zuo Zhen always felt that something was missing.
But what to order?
Of course there is a lack of sound!
This is not a problem for Zuo Zhen.
General Zuo gave an order, and dozens of motorcycles were gathered together. The loudspeakers and amplifiers were turned on, making all kinds of eardrum-ripping noises. They made as much noise as they could.
After this, disco dancing began around Wancheng!
Good guy!
The guard of Wancheng came from a well-known family and was a pampered nobleman. He had never seen such a scene before. He was so frightened that he peed on the spot.
The guard thought that his mother-in-law's thousands of troops were crushing him.
Without thinking, the guard who was born into a noble family sent twelve of his men to ask for help from Chi Shangxiong.
Zuo Zhen ordered his men to kill most of these messages for help as they rushed away, and only let two or three people go symbolically.
Zuo Zhen is a relatively serious person. Of course, when acting, he must perform a full set, and actors must also have self-cultivation.
