The commanders looked at the defense line and commented that using water as defense was equivalent to using water to replace troops.
People are born with a fear of water. Jiannu is a master of horse riding and shooting. Once he falls into four to five meters of water, he will basically die.
It is impossible for Huang Taiji not to know such a simple truth, and everyone also looked at Yuan Keli who was waiting for him to break the formation.
But when everyone looked at Yuan Keli, they found a smile on Yuan Keli's lips and asked softly: "Mr. Sun Ge, are you sure you can defend?"
"Can't hold on!"
"At least I can't hold on!"
After staring at the sand table for a long time, Sun Chengzong shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness.
"Since the Liao River cannot be defended, the Hun River and the Taizi River cannot be defended either. We can only charge with cavalry formations in the areas between the Liao River and the Hun River, the Hun River and the Taizi River, and the Taizi River and Liaoyang."
"Is this method feasible? Is it possible to break through our defenses?"
"Yes, but there will be heavy casualties. Not one out of ten will survive. The battle losses will be at least ten to one. There will be ten slaves and one for us."
"What will you do under such circumstances?"
"Retreat to Liaoyang and other cities!"
"Maybe keep it?"
"If we can't defend it, it can take as little as half a day or as long as one day, and the city will be destroyed!"
Sun Chengzong shook his head: "In five days at the latest, the army will approach Shenyang."
"Maybe we can defend Shenyang?"
"Can't hold on!"
"Then what do you do?"
what to do? Cold salad...
The commanders listened to the conversation between the two and the moving flags, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.
Do you want to listen to what you two are talking about?
Could it be that masters compete with each other, and there is no way to win without a move?
They really didn't understand how Yuan Keli attacked and why Jiannu's hundreds of thousands of troops couldn't defend.
Sun Chengzong did not respond to Yuan Keli's words, but looked at the commanders behind him: "Everyone, if the army approaches Shenyang and you know that you cannot defend it, what will you choose?"
After the commanders pondered for a moment, Zhou Yuji stepped forward, picked up a small flag and planted it on a city: "Mr. Yuan Ge, if I were Huang Taiji, I would lead my troops from Xinmin when I knew I couldn't defend it. , Zhangwu, and entered Mongolia via Horqin Left Banner.
Or enter the Mongolian grassland through Kangping and Shuangliao, then quickly escape, hide and then look for opportunities.
The grassland is their home, and it is vast and boundless. If you want to find a remnant in the vast grassland, it will be difficult to find it unless you are lucky, and even if you find it, it will be difficult to pursue it. This is the home field advantage! "
"The idea is quite good, and the possibility is very high."
Yuan Keli nodded slightly and pointed at Guangning City, Zhenxi Fort and Xiping Fort on the sand table with a map stick: "We have captured these three places.
Once the war breaks out, this pavilion will ask Sun Chuanting's troops to set out from Guangning City to conquer Wangping County, attack Xinmin and Kangping, and block the road to the grassland when the army attacks the Liaohe defense line.
At the same time, let Xuanfu Town Mangui lead his army from the grassland into Tonghua to set up an ambush? In addition, the warrior camp is accompanying you! "
While Yuan Keli was speaking, he moved the flag and nailed it to the road mentioned by Zhou Yuji.
Zhou Yuji's expression suddenly changed. Although the two roads he mentioned were passable, the army could not pass quickly. If they were carrying baggage, the speed would be even slower.
There are interceptors in front and pursuers behind. If you want to escape, you can only abandon the baggage.
Even if they break through the front interception, there is still a large army waiting for work on the other side of the grassland. They will first lay flintlock mines, then attack with firearms, and then rush to kill. Even if Jiannu can rush out, there will be no chance of survival.
Without the baggage, life on the grassland would be even more difficult.
Not to mention that there is still a battalion of warriors chasing him, one to ten. Under such circumstances, if you can escape, your life is really not worth it.
"Mr. Ge, I think we can retreat toward the northeast!"
Zhao Yunjiang, the commander of the Jiyang Guard of the Forbidden Army, pointed to the sand table: "To the southeast is the Changbai Mountains, and at the intersection with the Xiaoxing'an Mountains is the Sanjiang Plain. The products are not rich, but they are enough for the defeated army to rest and recuperate!
If you don’t want to rest, then cross the Heilongjiang River and enter the Rakshasa Kingdom to find a place to rest. "
"no!"
Yuan Keli did not refute, but Zhang Zhiji, the commander of the Beijing camp, immediately spoke out: "If you go by what Commander Zhao said, he is really dead.
First, there are too many rivers there. Not to mention the smaller rivers, there are Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers blocking the outermost edges, which is not conducive to the passage of the army. It is difficult for them to pass, and it is easy for us to pursue them.
Second, even if we are lucky enough to cross Heilongjiang and get rid of our pursuit, we still have to face the savage Jurchens and their enemies who are defeated. The savage Jurchens will not miss this opportunity for revenge.
As long as they are blocked for a few days, we can arrive and work together to destroy them. "
Zhao Yunjiang was silent. At the same time, the commander of the Tongzhou Guard of the Forbidden Army also drew a road on the sand table: "Mr. Ge, since you can't retreat to the grassland or enter the Sanjiang Plain, then retreat directly to the north.
Going north through Changling and Songyuan, although we captured the south of Shenyang, the area to the north was still under the control of Jiannu. After retreating north, we even entered the Rakshasa Kingdom along the Greater Khingan Mountains. "
"This is even worse!"
Cao Wenzhao spoke: "Your road is more difficult. It is blocked by the Greater Khingan Mountains in the northwest and the Lesser Khingan Mountains in the northeast. There is a gap between the two mountain ranges due north.
But outside is Heilongjiang, the journey is too far, and the journey through mountains and ridges is too costly.
If Yuan Ge Lao sent the Royal Thunder Battalion to wait at the gap with flintlock mines, and then exploded directly after the defeated army passed by, the consequences would be even more serious.
In other words, if a certain passage is directly blown up and the war horses cannot pass, then we will have to catch up. Without the war horses, facing our firearms, they will die faster! "
Denying, denying, and denying again, the three roads to the west, north, and east are blocked.
Everyone fixed their gaze on the southeast of Shenyang: "Mr. Ge, if the other three places are not possible, then we can only retreat toward the southeast, cross the Yalu River, and enter North Korea. Although North Korea is not big, it is deep enough.
Moreover, they have just conquered this place, so it is convenient for supplies and other things. Pyongyang's terrain is surrounded by mountains and blocked water. It controls the northwest, overlooks the Yangtze River (Datong River), and is far away from the wilderness. It is known as the important town in the two wests.
Moreover, Pyongyang City has four levels: inner city, middle city, outer city, and north city. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack!
The most important thing is that North Korea is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Except for the sea controlled by Pi Dao, you can escape from the other two sides! "
"It makes sense. Entering North Korea will lengthen our supply lines. If something goes wrong, this will be an opportunity to create slaves!"
"This seems to be the only option. Compared with the other three paths, this path at least has a chance to give it a try!"
…
Everyone was discussing, but they didn't notice the strange smile on Sun Chengzong's face.
Yuan Keli coughed slightly and said coldly: "Congratulations to you, and congratulations to us!"
