The next morning, the generals gathered at Northeast Pass to beat drums.
Meng Ya had just finished washing, wiped his face and hurried away. He happened to bump into Ning Zhan on the way and greeted him with a smile: "General Ning."
"Ah, good morning, Chief Meng." The latter also clasped his fists.
After a while, all the generals gathered in the Chinese army's tent, discussing with each other in low voices.
Those present were all senior generals and counselors. Officers at the rank of captain were not allowed in. Meng Ya's deputy general from the southern Xinjiang army was not qualified to participate in such military discussions.
Not long after, Xiao Yuan entered, not wearing armor, but wearing casual brocade clothes, a jade belt around his waist, and a jade hairpin.
The generals stopped their discussion and quickly lined up on both sides. They all clasped their fists and bent down: "See Your Majesty——"
"The generals are exempt from courtesy."
Xiao Yuan did not sit down. He stood in front of the commander's seat directly above him and said straight to the point: "At present, the situation of the ghost army's defense lines is already very clear to everyone. During this military meeting, breakthrough tactics will be formulated."
When all the generals heard the words, they were all in agreement, and some kind of excitement arose in their hearts. It was all a trial before, but now the real fight is finally about to begin.
Xiao Yuan continued: "Before, Jia You had planned three strategies to destroy the enemy. I thought about it again and again, and based on various battlefield conditions, decided to adopt the third strategy."
"However, there are still a few changes to this strategy."
Jia You's three strategies are as follows:
Siege the city and call for reinforcements.
Avoid the real and attack the weak.
Make noise in the east and attack in the west.
Among them, the siege and reinforcements were to cut off the two wings of Wugu Mountain to isolate it, and then surround it with heavy troops. This strategy can be used, but it is not the best, because in this way, the Qin army will be stationed in the wild for a long time, and Wugushan has complete military and industrial facilities, including rivers, lakes, warehouses and residential buildings, so it has a certain self-sufficiency capability and is not short-term. Can be trapped to death. So he was rejected by Xiao Yuanfeng.
Avoid the real and attack the weak. The "real" is Wu Gushan. Since it is a hard nut, let's save it for later and break through other places first. This strategy can also be used, but it also has a drawback, that is, after breaking through other places, , the Qin army's food routes will be restricted. With the nail of Wugu Mountain, you won't feel at ease even if you attack Sais City. If there is no progress in a short period of time, you will face the risk of the transportation line being cut off.
The final move to attack the east and attack the west is the most suitable for the current battlefield situation.
Jia You's original plan was to pretend to attack the sand monument and actually attack the black bones.
But in this strategy, Xiao Yuan made certain changes:
First, Sand Monument is to be attacked, but it is not a feint attack, but a real fierce attack.
Second, the actual attack point was changed from Wugu Mountain to the ghost army's southern stronghold, and elite troops were used to attack in a blitz.
Third, break through the southern line of the Ghost Army and detour to the east of Wugu.
Fourth, another force attacked Wugu from the front and two wings. In fact, the outflanking force seized the opportunity and raided the east gate of Wugu, which was equivalent to bypassing the rear.
There are only two east and west gates in Wugu Mountain. The west gate faces the Qin army, and the east gate is connected to the city of Sais. Under the fierce attack of the Qin army from the front, the ghost army must be on guard and focus all its attention on the fierce battle. , by then, they probably would never have thought that an elite force would suddenly appear behind them.
In short, the point of attracting firepower is Shabei, the breakthrough point is on the southern line, and the final target is Wugu.
Xiao Yuan had already drawn his battle sword and was pointing and drawing circles on the map.
After explaining this strategy, he looked around and said, "Do you understand everything?"
"Understood!" The senior generals of the Qin Army, who had not been through battles for a long time, made a plan and everyone understood it immediately.
Xiao Yuan looked at Jia You and others again: "Do you have any objections?"
Jia You said sincerely: "Your Majesty uses troops like a god, and I have no objection."
"This is a great strategy!" Wang Su followed.
Lou He said: "Your Majesty's military strategy has made the subordinates heartbroken. The ghost army will be defeated this time!"
"Okay, let's follow this strategy." Xiao Yuan looked down: "Generals, listen to the order!"
All the generals were shocked.
"Xu Rong!"
"The general is here!"
"You have already attacked Shabei yesterday and are more familiar with it. I want you to continue to lead your troops to attack this place! Remember, I am not asking you to feign an attack, but to make a real fierce attack! You can concentrate your forces and strive to break through the ghost army's stronghold, even if you cannot break through. , we must also shake the entire defense line, forcing the ghost armies in other places to rush to the aid of Sha Bei!"
"I have the order!" Xu Rong clasped his fists and shouted loudly.
Xiao Yuan knew very well that yesterday's exploratory attack would surely alert the ghost army to the weakness of the sand monument, and then deploy heavy defenses here. What he wanted was not that Xu Rong could break through this place, but that it must become the largest Fire attraction point.
"Zhang Dashan!"
"The general is here!"
"I order you to lead your troops and pretend to attack the north of Wugu Mountain."
"Got the order!"
"Wei Qing!"
"The general is here!"
"I'll leave the most critical part to you." Xiao Yuan looked at him and said seriously: "Lead an elite force to attack the ghost army's southern line during the fierce battle in Shabei and break through this place as quickly as possible. , take a detour to the east of Wu Gu!"
"General, take your orders!" Wei Qing clasped his fists with all his might.
"Ning Zhan!"
"The general is here!" The latter stepped out of the queue.
"After Wei Qing bypasses the east gate, I order you to lead the army to attack Wugu Mountain head-on!"
"Got the order!"
This is a battle with multiple offensive lines. There are main and secondary attacks, feints and vicious attacks, surprise attacks and blitzes. It seems complicated, but in fact it is very clear. Each general has its own main task. Lead your headquarters to complete the battle. Just ask.
Xiao Yuan looked at Meng Ya again: "Soldiers from Southern Xinjiang are responsible for the treatment of the battlefield and support everywhere."
"I got the order!" Meng Ya followed the order in a shaking voice. He didn't feel anything wrong, but felt happy in his heart.
This battle is very important. It is the key to annihilating the ghost clan. There is no room for mistakes. Therefore, it is impossible for Xiao Yuan to use the southern Xinjiang troops in the decisive battle here.
The armaments of the Southern Xinjiang soldiers were mostly cloth armor, spears, and simple armor mixed with some bamboo pieces. The rare armors were also worn by the Southern Xinjiang generals.
To put it bluntly, with their combat power, if they met the ghost army head-on, it was hard to say what the outcome would be.
Maybe he can win, but Xiao Yuan will never do anything that will affect the overall situation if he loses.
After issuing these orders, Xiao Yuan returned to the commander's case, stood directly above him with his hands behind his back, and said in a loud voice: "This battle is very important! Generals must be at their best! Tell the soldiers that we must Fight the enemy bravely and destroy the thieves for the country!"
"The last general takes orders!" The generals shouted with great momentum.
"Everyone, go down and prepare. This battle is scheduled for the sixth day of April, and the troops will be launched at Chen time!"
"Your Majesty, please retire——" Everyone saluted in unison.
After the military discussion, it was almost noon, Xiao Yuan Yu Shuai looked through the military books that Wei Qing had read before.
After a while, a soldier came in with food and respectfully placed it on Shuai's case.
Two simple dishes, one meat, one vegetarian, and a bowl of rice.
Xiao Yuan picked up the bowl, picked up the chopsticks, and started to eat, but his mind drifted to the battle situation.
There is no doubt that the key point of this battle lies in Wei Qing's outflanking troops. (End of chapter)
