The second young master of the Fu family began to tell everyone about the best and middle strategies, but Chu Qing had just figured out the worst strategies.
This is a bad strategy, just like Brother Dajun and others said, it's a plan within a plan, a series of plans.
Besieging the island is just a strategy, not a purpose. It is to allow the Japanese thieves to negotiate peace.
According to the virtue of the Japanese thieves, the family was surrounded like a bastard, so they must try to negotiate a peace.
On this point, Chu Qing felt 80% sure.
Once the peace is negotiated, the Chang people can appear on Yingdao in an open and honest manner, conducting a large number of scouts to inquire about the deployment of troops, the status of the forces of all parties, surveying and drawing maps, etc.
This is not the purpose either.
Asking Yingdao to cede a piece of land, station troops, or find any reason, this request is neither too much nor too much. As long as you can endure the temper and act realistically, you can indeed get a piece of land.
By that time, the Japanese thieves could basically feel at ease, because they benefited from the Confucian scholars of the Dachang Dynasty.
Among other things, Confucian scholars are tough on credibility. As long as they say it out loud, they will do it even if they sell their sons and daughters. The Ying thieves are convinced of this.
When the thief is basically at ease, everyone can fall out.
The garrison on the west side moved towards Kyoto, and at the same time, they ignited the mountains and forests on the right side of Kyoto, destroyed the mineral veins, and used gunpowder to blow up the mountains.
Setting fire to burn mountains and blasting mountains with gunpowder do not require many manpower, hundreds of people can do it.
This is not the purpose. The purpose is to create an illusion for the Japanese thieves that they want to attack Kyoto and that Kyoto is not easy to defend.
They destroyed the mineral veins, garrisoned the troops on the west side, and burned the mountains. In addition, they were besieged across the island. The Japanese thieves suffered a loss, so they needed to carefully consider where to retreat.
In this location, there are relatively close mineral veins, but it cannot be too close to the sea, and there cannot be mountains and forests nearby, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Then there is only one location that can be chosen, Kawana Castle.
Kawana Castle is big enough.
It's close to the mountains and forests, but not so close that it can't be reached by setting the mountains on fire.
It is also far from the sea. Even if you want to land on the island, you have to climb over mountains and ridges, making it difficult for a large army to move.
The surrounding area is empty and unobstructed.
What the second young master of the Fu family said was actually to create a psychological self-suggestion for the Japanese thief.
Arson, mountain destruction, landing, infantry combat, etc. were all involved, but the aspect of "polluting water sources" was not thought of, because Chang people had never used this trick, and this trick was a trump card.
The terrain of Kawana Castle is very low, and there are continuous mountains around it, but there are water sources, and the water sources flow directly into the city, and as far as we know, there are three water sources.
Then just transport the fierce fire oil up the mountain, pour it into the water, and light it on the mountainside, and you can light it for Kawana Castle.
Doing this would be much easier than going to Kyoto.
Relying on gunpowder crossbows and powerful fire oil, it is easy to attack the city, but once the Japanese bandits outside the city engage in guerrilla warfare, they will definitely cause trouble to the army. The most important thing is that no matter where they attack Kyoto from the four directions, they must Passing through many cities, the road is even more difficult to navigate. If the Japanese ruling class is forced to Kaannai City and they are directly attacked, the Japanese will be a group of thieves without a leader, and the next battle will be easy to fight.
"I understand, I finally understand."
Just when Chu Qing was about to laugh wildly twice, Wang Tianyu suddenly shouted: "If the strategy is right, hit the strategy!"
Brother Dajun said loudly: "No, this is a good strategy. The next strategy is just to kill those dignitaries. The best strategy is to destroy their clan!"
Wang Tianyu shouted: "Zhongce is good. Zhongce is all about arson, so just Zhongce."
The crowd began to divide into two groups, those who supported Brother Dajun and those who supported Yuzai.
Chu Qing no longer wanted to speak.
I just figured out the next best strategy, and then I figured out the middle strategy and the best strategy.
Either the third brother knew Chu Qing well, knew that this guy didn't listen at all, and even if he did, he couldn't understand. He organized the language and explained the middle strategy and the best strategy in the simplest way.
Let’s talk about Zhongce first. Zhongce was thought up by Fu Baobao, the second child.
This strategy has almost no technical content, but the advantage is that there may be no battle damage at all. The disadvantage is that if all the Japanese thieves are killed, the island will be destroyed.
The four words "scorched earth tactics" can basically sum it up.
There is no need to build any outpost camps, let alone transport many troops, only ships are needed.
In the first step, the warship docked on the shore, used a trebuchet to smash out the fire oil, and smashed it onto the land. After the smashing, it was lit, no matter if it was a tree or a person, no matter if it was grass or an animal, it was all on fire anyway. Burn it again.
After lighting the fire, everyone waited on the boat to eat and drink until the fire went out.
All the living creatures must have been burned to death, and the land was completely ruined. That was truly a scorched-earth tactic. Not to mention that the Japanese were unable to live in this place, and even the Chang people were unable to farm the land. As long as carbon-based organisms , there is no way to live in the place.
After the fire is extinguished, push the catapult off the ship, and the fierce fire oil is continuously transported from behind. Continue to throw, continue to burn, and then go back. When the fire is out, the fire is out, push forward, continue to throw, and continue to burn.
The general meaning is that the four-pronged army will burn the entire Yingdao, constantly compressing the activity space of the Japanese thieves. When the thieves come, they will run away and be directly destroyed by the catapults without fighting. If you dare to chase them, the warships will shoot them. If you don't chase us, we will burn the front. No one wants this miserable place.
Chu Qing was dumbfounded. Who would have to come up with this plan?
This strategy also has disadvantages, that is, it is too time-consuming. The biggest advantage is that as long as it is burned, it does not matter whether the Japanese thieves are destroyed. Anyway, the Japanese thieves will definitely not be able to survive. They will not be able to go to the sea and the trees will be burned. , not to mention building ships, even small boats can't be built. They can only continue to shrink and gather on this small island, watching their land turn into flames, leaving scorched earth, and eventually they will become scorched corpses.
It's time-consuming, but there are indeed many mountains and forests on this island. In many places, setting a fire can burn down the entire mountain!
This successful strategy was enough to shock Chu Qing. After the third brother said the best strategy, Chu Qing wanted to go directly to the second young master of the Fu family.
The best policy was proposed by Fu Yongkang for "internal fighting."
He brought Uchigami Shichiro, the envoy of the Japanese thief in the capital, to rebel, saying that he wanted to overthrow the emperor's rule. Changchao and "Goguryeo" supported him.
Of course, Goguryeo is also pretending to be a Chang Dynasty person. In short, it is to let the Japanese thieves know that Uchigami Shichiro is going to be the boss. Changchao and Goguryeo have joined forces to help Uchigami Shichiro become the emperor.
Then all the Japanese forces must be dumbfounded. The island is besieged. If the two countries want to kill them, there is no way to fight. Since there is no way to fight, there are only two choices. Either support Uchigami Shichiro, or continue Follow the emperor.
This is also similar to the siege of three towers in the art of war. If Dachang troops directly land on the island and say that they want to exterminate the Japanese bandits, the Japanese bandits will definitely mobilize all the people to resist together, but if they want to support a puppet emperor, there will definitely be The walls are broken. Even if they are puppets, at least they are Ying people. Let's just wait and see. It's important to save our lives.
There is no nation where all members are hard-core, and the same is true for Japanese thieves.
At that time, the drama is here. The Chang people and the fake Goguryeo people have to lead the Japanese thieves who have taken refuge with Uchigami Shichiro, and whether they have taken refuge with Uchigami Shichiro or not. Whoever has a big fist is the father, and whoever has a small fist is the son. .
The Chang Dynasty and Goguryeo people had big fists, while the Ying thieves who took refuge in Uchigami Shichiro had small fists. The former was a father, and the two fathers were actually one father, while the latter was a son, just one son.
The father asked his son to beat one of their own, but the son could only hold his nose and admit it.
When both sides have almost killed each other, dad, then kill your son. Anyway, it is just a treacherous trick, letting the Japanese thief dog bite the dog. In the end, the winning Japanese dog side killed them all, saving more than half of their energy.
Chu Qing hesitated, really hesitated.
"Buy one group and beat another group, dog bites dog, and after the beating, they will fall out..."
"Pretending to negotiate a peace, the high-ranking Japanese thieves will be brought to a boil, leaving the group of thieves without a leader..."
"The fire attack turned Yingdao into a scorched earth, with no life left..."
Chu Qing sighed: "Commander...it's hard to choose, they all taste good."
