After Xia Xi thought carefully, he said
"Ambush on the left and right, kill the enemy with crossbowmen." Yang Gan shook his head helplessly and looked around. Cao Wushuang crossed his arms and said confidently.
"It's actually very simple. We use crossbowmen to ambush on both sides and fire twice. We have nearly 8,000 horses at this time. After the fleet arrives in a few days, the number of cavalry will reach tens of thousands, enough to equip 3,000 to 5,000 cavalry. "
"At that time, the cavalry can be divided into four or five teams. The slope of this terrain is not high. When the enemy is panicked, the cavalry can be used to swoop to disperse and divide the local army."
"Then let the infantry cover up and kill. It is best to let the masters who can penetrate the Yangtze with hundreds of steps to snipe the opponent's general and deputy general. When the time comes, the group will be leaderless and surrounded by heavy infantry. This battle will be won." Yang Gan's eyes were shining with brilliance. It's amazing. Who is his master? It was so shocking at the time that it actually coincided with my own thoughts.
Yang Qian touched his chin and kept thinking to see if there were any missing parts.
"How long until the next reinforcements?"
"In about three days, the reinforcements may not be large this time, and a large number of cotton-padded clothes and quilts will need to be transported."
"Okay~!" Yang Gan immediately dialed the number of the scouts outside. He wanted to closely monitor the movements of the local army and then send a large number of scouts to investigate.
Starting from the camp, the scout's route was like a spider web, radiating outward.
In this way, not only can there be no hidden dangers within a radius of dozens of miles, but also the terrain can be familiar. In case of defeat, there is still a chance to escape back to the shore and leave by boat.
There is really no way for the warship to take everyone away, but with the warship and still on the beach, the Moon Formation is Yang Qian's trump card.
Hundreds of thousands of troops formed the Queyue Formation here. Without hundreds of thousands of troops, it would be impossible to defeat it.
The wounded could secretly leave by boat at night. As long as they persist for a month, they can all return safely. Thinking of this, Yang Qian couldn't help but clenched his fists. There were still too few warships.
If there are hundreds of ships, then in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, it will be like being in an uninhabited land and you can gallop around as you like.
But it's okay, as long as this place can be eaten by myself, relying on the forest resources of the peninsula, not to mention warships, many fishing boats can be built.
With such a vast coastline and so many fish resources, we can make a fortune no matter what. In the camp. Some soldiers were extremely happy. They were wearing new clothes and felt warm all over. Their shoes were made of wool and they didn't feel cold at all.
The most incredible thing for the soldiers was that they found a large number of woolen gloves in the armament. The gloves were made of leather and their hands began to warm up as soon as they were put on.
I don’t know what it is made of, but the cotton surface is very rough. When you hold the knife handle tightly, it will not slip even if there is blood.
According to your Majesty's request, this time the quartermaster is the most unlucky. He also needs to stock up on military supplies for the winter, knowing what the lowest temperature is here and what he needs to wear.
In this era, there is almost no precedent for winter operations. First, due to climate reasons, the weather is too cold and my hands and feet are not flexible.
Second, no country in the world has the ability to equip all soldiers with winter clothing suitable for combat. Third, winter is generally a time when the vassal states do not have sufficient military rations.
But for Yang Qian, except for the first one that he could not change, he already had the second and third ones, so there was nothing to fear in a winter battle.
However, I heard from my master Tan Tianyan that the days are getting warmer year by year, and it seems that the second ice age is coming to an end.
Yang Qian is still young, and if he has time to wait, winter combat may not be his trump card in the future.
Think about it, the local soldiers were huddled in the tower to keep warm, and suddenly they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops. The expression on the other side must be very wonderful.
Xuantu County is 150 miles north. There is an endless plain here. Because Goguryeo has little exchanges with Xia Kingdom, there are generally no people here. At this time, on the land with a slightly higher slope, a large number of tents are stationed continuously.
Ran Jing wore heavy armor and sat in the Chinese army's tent. This was his first time presiding over such a large-scale battle. It was a lie that he was not excited, but what followed was heavy pressure.
In front of him was a large group of generals, who were also sitting on the mats.
"General Ran, haven't you contacted me yet?" Ran Jing shook his head.
"It is impossible to contact. Goguryeo has many mountains and there are no scattered islands on the sea. It is very difficult to establish communication." Jing Huai said at this time
"When I was delivering supplies this time, I heard that Zhuangzi has started to produce some things. It is said that once these things are produced, your Majesty will be able to contact us." Ran Jing's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled.
"It seems to be Zhang Xiaoniang's handiwork."
"Everyone, tell me how to eat the west side of Mazishui this time~~~! They must not be connected end to end." As soon as these words came out, everyone's originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
When we were formulating strategies with you, each one was more excited than the other. That was because the map was limited and the records were incomplete. There was only terrain but no topography. The most important thing is that everyone knows the big city of Goguryeo, and the nearby medium-sized What about cities, small cities?
Therefore, the earliest strategy formulated was just a strategic intention. Now it is more troublesome to make tactical arrangements.
Ran Jing glanced around and said calmly.
"General Jing, tell me what you think?" Jing Huai raised his hand and said
"According to the information from Tianshou Division, there are three main cities in Goguryeo, namely Heshenggu City, Wandu Mountain City, Domestic City, and one is the royal city. As for the royal city, it is up to you to deal with it."
"If we attack head-on, we will face the siege of nine cities including Hengshan City. This is no longer a trivial matter. Xuantu City is a big city. Although there are not many troops stationed in it, it can still delay us for several months. questionable."
"I suggest that we start the attack from Beifeng City, the smallest city in the southwest. When we attack, we should send a large army to surround them. We must not let anyone escape." Everyone looked at each other and said nothing, but Ran Jing did not Let no one go and let everyone express their own opinions. It doesn't matter even if they are repeated. It perfectly inherits Yang Qian's style.
Many generals felt that Ran Jing's behavior had a hint of the emperor. Ran Jing rubbed his temples with a headache. After arriving here, he got the information. Isn't this a rush to put on the shelves?
He forced himself to calm down. At this time, he saw the rice wine still being cooked on the stove on the table. He took a sip and thought to himself, what would the king do if he were here?
At this time, Fei Lian, who was sitting next to Ran Jing, yawned a little boredly. He took out the wooden box from his arms, picked out a cigarette, lit it, and slowly started smoking. When the first puff of smoke entered his lungs, Afterwards, he felt completely refreshed, and the originally boring meeting seemed not so boring.
Ran Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said
"Fei Lian, tell me, how should we fight?" Fei Lian was stunned, waved his hands repeatedly, and the old god said
"I received your order to protect you. Don't ask me anything other than your safety. I don't know if you ask me." Fei Lian's role has always been simple, that is, as a bodyguard. Sometimes he works part-time as a rush hour. The main reason for a formation soldier is that there is no suitable mount for him, and it is difficult to even become a cavalry general.
Ran Jing knew that he could not order Fei Lian, as his immediate superior was Jun Shang, but the two of them were inseparable, so it didn't matter if he asked.
"Fei Lian, you have been following the Lord for a long time, and you have been influenced by what you hear and see. Isn't it harmful to say something?" Fei Lian's eyes flashed with light, and smoke hovered in front of him, making his face look hazy.
"Now, I'm just a rough guy who doesn't understand anything. I'll go wherever your Majesty tells me to. In fact, I don't think Your Majesty will use your method here."
"Oh?" Ran Jing raised his eyebrows and suddenly became interested.
"Then if it were your Majesty, what method would you use?" Fei Lian said without thinking.
"It's very simple. Your Majesty has been making preparations for a long time before coming to Goguryeo. There are almost hidden enemies in the nearby city. How about taking action? Attack the city by force. If too many people die, I'm afraid your Majesty will not give up." One sentence directly woke everyone up. Yang Qian's teaching materials were all compiled according to the ancient art of war, but he had already transcended the constraints of the art of war in battles, which does not mean that he does not use the art of war.
For example, there is a martial arts secret book. After someone practices it, he can fight like a tiger with great force. Each move has great power and standard posture.
There is also a kind of person who, after practicing, can not only use it flexibly, but also innovate and integrate his own understanding into it to become better than his master. Undoubtedly, Yang Qian is such a person.
They were all generals who had worked together for a long time, and they had some vague ideas in their minds. Ran Jing smiled and said
"It seems that we need the help of Tianshou Division." Jing Huai stood up, pointed to the mark on the map, and said
"Abandon attacking the main city, set out along the coast, capture Anshi, Jian'an, Pingguo, Beifeng, and Beisha, then go around and attack Jili, Dahang, Bobi, and Wugu. In this way, A large area will be under our command, and we will not alert the enemy." Ran Jing stared at the map and waved to Fei Lian. Fei Lian reluctantly threw a cigarette to him. After Ran Jing lit the cigarette, he was deeply moved. I took a sip. Although I seldom smoked, I had at least learned it. With Yang Qian and Zhang Yumeng, it would be difficult not to learn it.
When the smoke entered his lungs, his head felt dizzy, and his whole heart suddenly became active, and he tapped Anshi heavily with his fingers.
"According to the intelligence, Anshi is only about sixty miles away from Liaodong County. The most important thing is that the two cities are closely related. Once something goes wrong, Liaodong City will be alarmed, so we must bypass Anshi and attack Jian'an directly. "Jing Huai nodded suddenly, Gu Weiqi said in a deep voice.
"But Jian'an is close to An City, Bi'an City and Liaodong City. What should we do? What if we are discovered?"
