What is a military commander?
Every dynasty, every country, and every soldier has its own understanding and interpretation. But for Han Bing, the so-called military commander only relies on the word confidence!
He looked back at the soldiers under his command. For this expedition, they were almost the most well-prepared!
What's more, he was arranged by the king to capture Jingzhou.
Recalling that before the expedition, Zhuge Lingjun discussed strategies with him, and both expressed that they should not be careless about the land of Jingzhou.
Zhuge Wolong said: "Jingzhou controls Han Mi to the north, takes full advantage of the South China Sea, connects to the ancient Shu land to the west, and goes to the border of our Daxuan Kingdom to the east. This land is connected in all directions, and military strategists must fight for it."
He sent clever soldiers to investigate a few years ago and collected a lot of information from various places.
But as the [Taiping Army] became more and more powerful, some of the previous tactics were gradually discarded. Especially since Zhuge Wolong and Hong Kang had stayed for a long time, they knew how terrifying the ultimate combat power in the world was. ! ~~
If your Majesty and the others are willing, they can even withstand a million soldiers by themselves!
therefore,
Zhuge Wolong's ideas are also gradually changing.
Yingguo's military power, which had been neglected for a long time, was by no means Daxuan's opponent.
Daxuan's goal is not only to overthrow the Ying Kingdom, but also to uphold justice and ward off evil, and to impose human laws on the demons and ghosts in the world. This will inevitably conflict with the demons born and raised on earth.
Then I learned from Jun Shang about the existence of the old demon of Black Mountain in the underworld of the underworld, and I also witnessed the true form of the ten thousand-legged centipede of the national master Pudu Cihang in Shangjing City...
Zhuge Wolong will know,
In the final chess game, not only the overall strength must be looked at, but also the top combat power of the human race.
Han Bing followed the map of the six southern states and traced his fingers slowly.
"Jingzhou and Daxuan are directly connected geographically, and there is a long river that flows east from Jingzhou into Xuan, and also carries Jianghan. Jingzhou is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is the eastern gateway of Daxuan."
"It must be controlled by Daxuan before you can feel at ease."
"Otherwise, if the enemy is ruthless and inhumane and dumps a large amount of poison into the Jianghan River, then the water we drink..."
He is a soldier. In order to win, pouring poison or something is not something he can't do. It is normal for Han Bing to worry about others.
Zhuge Wolong shook his head and said: "Han Shuai's words are wrong!~"
"The heaven and the earth naturally have the ability to renew themselves. There are dense water networks in Jingzhou. If you want to turn the thousands of miles of Jianghan River water into poisonous water, what a huge amount of poison would be needed~!"
"If you do this, you will definitely not be able to hide it from the investigation of the demon birds under Ming Zun."
"Moreover, the first thing that will be harmed by this move is the aquatic monsters..."
"Not to mention other things, just the water monster in Yunmeng Daze will cause big trouble."
Han Bing nodded obediently, not at all surprised that his opinion was overturned. It seemed that he had expected that Zhuge Wolong would say this? !
"The land of Jingzhou is different from the original Yangzhou. It is fertile and wild for thousands of miles. It has always been the granary of Yingguo."
"Even in the current environment where people are in dire straits, according to the scouts sent out for more than a year, there are very few people dying of starvation, and the defenders in various places still have good combat effectiveness..."
"In addition to the presence of Yunmeng Daze, there must be a great demon of the water tribe among them. I suggest that you let Zuizui and Bai Qiulian follow you."
Han Bing's face slightly condensed.
[Taiping Army] All members of the Taiping Army are martial arts masters, with agility and the power of the military formation to gather people. On land, he is not afraid of those big monsters and ghost kings, but water warfare is indeed a weakness.
This was the case two years ago when we faced the mirage in the West Lake.
Of course, this weakness refers to fighting against the great monster of the water tribe. If faced with the navy troops of the corresponding country, Han Bing has absolute confidence in his subordinates.
………………
The topography map of Jingzhou flashed in Han Bing's mind.
The entire Jingzhou area is like a big pocket, and Xiangcheng is the entrance and exit of this pocket.
In the middle are Jianghan Plain and Yunmeng Plain. There is a small outlet along the Yangtze River on the east and west sides. To the west is the Bingshu Baojian Gorge, and to the east is the Jiujiang area.
All other places are tightly wrapped by mountains, making it extremely difficult to get in and out.
Therefore, Jingzhou is uniquely endowed with the ability to raise troops and is easy to defend!
Of course, this is according to the traditional war model.
"Without the extraordinary martial arts taught by Your Majesty, it would not be easy to capture Jingzhou."
Another military commander next to Han Bing spoke.
"Hmph! According to ancient historical records, Yangzhou in the southeast is still a place where dragons are trapped!~"
"Your Majesty is a heavenly being, so what you do is unimaginable to ordinary people! How can the rules and principles of the world be applied to your Majesty..."
There is a fanatical admiration for Hong Kang in words.
The speaker was Chen Guangzong, the commander of the Fifth Army. He was rescued from the belly of the demon snake by Hong Kang himself. At that time, the cold light of the sword filled his eyes.
Therefore, after joining the army, he also used the sword as a weapon and practiced his sword skills hard, just to recreate that amazing sword strike.
Han Bing warned: "Don't be careless."
"I already have a strategy for conquering Jingzhou, so I can coordinate it with you and Qingzhi."
"Don't forget, your Majesty's request is to capture it quickly while minimizing casualties."
Chen Guangzong's sword twirled.
"Oh!~"
"Han Shuai, please speak, I am all ears."
Han Bing asked his soldiers to spread out the map and pointed with his fingers.
"The most important stronghold here is Xiangcheng. Xiangcheng is not only the key to Jingzhou, but also the backbone of the entire world."
Hearing what Han Bing said, Chen Guangzong looked over.
Anyone who can be a military commander within the [Taiping Army] system cannot be a killer who only knows how to kill people with a knife. In terms of tactics and tactics, Chen Guangzong has also undergone strict assessment.
Han Bing said: "Look at the terrain of Xiangcheng. Daba Mountain on the left is a continuous high mountain and deep valley, and Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain are on the right. The Dabie Mountain is like an east-west Great Wall, just blocking Zhongzhou and Lianghuai. It extends all the way to near Luzhou.”
"And this Luzhou happens to be the connection point between Jingzhou and Daxuan."
Chen Guangzong narrowed his chin and simulated the battlefield in his mind.
"According to Han Shuai's analysis, in other words, if you want to capture Jingzhou, you only need to control three places."
"The northern exit to Xiangcheng is the key point, and the western part is the passage to Bingshu Baojian Gorge, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In the eastern part, from Luzhou to Jiujiang, there is a canyon along the Yangtze River, which is also a good place for defense."
Han Bing nodded in agreement.
When the two of them were analyzing the battlefield situation, the generals under their command were listening with their ears pricked up. This was valuable command experience, and it showed more skill than sand table deduction.
"I have contacted Qingzhi before and will wait until he enters the hinterland of Yuzhou. At that time, he will send General Zhu Peng to lead 8,000 people south and take Xiangcheng directly."
"Controlling Xiangcheng is equivalent to controlling the throat of Jingzhou."
As he spoke, he had no hesitation about whether Zhu Peng could win Xiangcheng.
Chen Guangzong's eyes flickered: "Zhu Peng..."
He knew that this man was the most capable general under Sun Qingzhi, who was skilled in both spear and sword. His martial arts realm was at the fifth stage of "marrow cleansing and blood exchange".
Han Bing swiped his finger, pointed at the southeastern part of Jingzhou, and moved all the way to the left.
"From the Luzhou Road to Jiujiang, you and I will work together to break through Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuling as quickly as possible..."
"Then, the special forces of the two armies formed a sharp knife to capture Bingshu Baojian Gorge in the shortest possible time."
"In this way, your entrance to Yizhou is opened, and I have also taken out these three key points in Jingzhou."
This is the "one state, three o'clock blooming" strategy prepared by Han Bing.
Chen Guangzong's eyes shone when he heard this.
But he thought of a question.
"According to Han Shuai's tactics, what is needed is a quick victory. We and all Qingqi can do this, but the logistics supplies may not be able to keep up so quickly, right?!"
Han Bing lowered his head slightly, his eyes flashing with light.
"Soldiers are expensive and quick, and..."
"Looking at Jingzhou, aren't there granaries everywhere~?"
Chen Guangzong's eyes sharpened and he said in a deep voice: "Han Shuai, your Majesty said you are not allowed to disturb the people!"
Han Bing said in surprise: "When did I say I would disturb the people?!"
"It's just robbing the rich and giving to the poor..."
"How many of those wealthy households earned their income from serious business and farming?!"
Chen Guangzong's eyebrows still didn't open.
"However, this is not in accordance with the rules. After the property inspection of those who are rich and unkind, the data must be sealed and left to the Ministry of Finance for review."
Han Bing glanced at him with deep meaning, did not reply, and just chanted softly:
"The village is very desolate and suffers from drought and locusts every year."
"The old man pays the debt, the young man sells the grain."
"The house with broken walls, Liang Daiyue fell into bed..."
………………
It has to be said that with the ready-made terrain map, the military commander's strategy was correct, and the soldiers were all strong men with one enemy against a hundred, the progress of conquering Jingzhou was carried out steadily and quickly according to Han Bing's plan.
At the same time, the other three armies captured Jiaozhou, Xuzhou and Yuezhou respectively.
Among them, although the Jiaozhou area is vast, the climate is hot and humid, and the population is not large. However, Daxuan's Ministry of Agriculture has already tested it and found it to be a good farming land.
As long as you plant the right crops, you can even get three crops in two years! ~
As he and Zhuge Wolong expected, Han Bing's progress got stuck in Yunmeng Daze.
………………
Xuan's army traveled in Yunmeng, with tens of thousands of horses and flags covering the sky. The rising of a wildfire is like clouds, and the roar of a tiger is like thunder.
