"Let's analyze this war. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shangguan Che continued.

"Good. Jiang Yuetang said, sitting up straight.

"What was Gao Huan doing when he ordered someone to build the hill at the beginning?" Shangguan Che asked Jiang Yuetang.

"In order to be able to attack Jade City from a high position. Jiang Yuetang replied.

"But even if you stand on the top of the hill, you can't reach Jade City directly, and at most you can only shoot with arrows or build bridges. Shangguan Che smiled.

"Yes. ”

Shangguan Che continued: "Gao Huan dug a hole in the ground and made it go straight to the north of Yubi City, so that he could concentrate his forces to attack it at that time, what do you think of this attack method?"

Jiang Yuetang said: "Judging from the local terrain and the number of enemies on both sides, there is nothing wrong with his move. ”

It's just that he never thought that Wei Xiaokuan would come up with the trick of burning the hole with fire. ”

"Yes, this is really 'one foot high and one foot high'. ”

"If you were Gao Huan, what would you do when you faced Wei Xiaokuan's move?"

Jiang Yuetang pondered for a while, and replied: "Isn't fire afraid of water?" Design a kind of water sprayer, each soldier carries a water spray on his back when attacking, and when he sees a fire in front of him, he will spray violently, as long as he sprays long enough and enough, he can always extinguish the fire, and then attack it again. ”

"This move is good!" Shangguan Che nodded approvingly, and said, "Gao Huan ordered people to create an extremely strong siege chariot and use them to hit Yubi City, what do you think of this move?"

Jiang Yuetang thought for about half an hour and replied, "It's good, there's nothing wrong with it." ”

However, Wei Xiaokuan actually came up with the idea of using a large curtain to open up in the direction of the chariot's attack, so that the chariot could not damage it. Shangguan Che smiled.

"Yes," Jiang Yuetang fell into deep thought, and after a while, she said to Shangguan Che, "Teacher, if Gao Huan withdraws his troops at this time, will it be wiser?"

Shangguan Che asked, "Why do you think so?"

Jiang Yuetang replied: "So far, Gao Huan has already made three moves with Wei Xiaokuan, and all three moves are Wei Xiaokuan's victories, which shows that Wei Xiaokuan's tactics in defending the city are good, and Gao Huan's soldiers are in a low-lying place, and Wei Xiaokuan's men and horses are in the mountain city, and Wei Xiaokuan has a big advantage in terms of terrain." In "The Art of War", it is said that if you want to have a chance of winning in battle, you must occupy a high position at the first time, and Wei Xiaokuan's soldiers are in a low-lying place, so such an attack is undoubtedly laborious and weak, no wonder so many soldiers have taken their lives in vain. ”

"Well," Shangguan Che said thoughtfully: "Your idea is not unreasonable, Gao Huan relied on his own troops at that time, coupled with his eagerness to win, and he still did not give up the attack after failing again and again, this is indeed not flexible enough, and he has lost three rounds, so he should calm down and think about the problem of advance and retreat first." ”

Shangguan Che said again: "I once passed through Yubi City three years ago, and when I looked up from the bottom of the cliff, I saw the mass grave where 70,000 soldiers were buried, and I also saw the white bones that emerged from the places and fractures that had been washed by the water. Seventy thousand lives, all of them were conceived and grown up by their parents in October......."

Shangguan Che choked up and couldn't continue.

Jiang Yuetang's eyes were also red.

If it is a war, it is inevitable that people will die, but is the death of these 70,000 people worth it?

Now it is of course too late to talk about its rights and wrongs, but it is not meaningless, human beings must face history in order to progress, so Shangguan Che said to Jiang Yuetang: "You are right, Gao Huan's wisest thing to do at that time was not to attack hard, but to lead the troops to retreat first, and then find a better way to attack the city." ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"Then Yueting, if you were Gao Huan, what would you do after these three rounds with Wei Xiaokuan? ”

Jiang Yuetang suddenly became extremely serious, yes, if she was Gao Huan, what should she do when facing Wei Xiaokuan, who was so good at defense? If she had to go west, Yubi City was an obstacle that could not be bypassed, and she had to be captured, what should she do when she had no choice?

Jiang Yuetang thought while drawing a map on paper, analyzing the terrain and the resources that could be used between the two armies, and in the end, she had to say: "Teacher, the students can't think of a way to attack the city for the time being. ”

Shangguan Che smiled and touched her head, and said, "As a battle-hardened Gao Huan, he can't think of a better way, and it's not strange that you, a seven-year-old child, can't think of it, but if you really encounter such a battle one day, you still have to continue thinking about it until you come up with a solution." ”

Jiang Yuetang nodded.

Shangguan Che smiled and said, "We can first analyze the reasons for Gao Huan's failure and see if we can give you some inspiration." ”

"Good. Jiang Yuetang nodded hurriedly.

In fact, at this time, she wanted to ask Shangguan Che if he had already come up with a solution, but she knew that Shangguan Che was deliberately guiding her, so she decided to come up with a solution by herself.

Shangguan Che asked, "What do you think is the reason for Gao Huan's failure?"

Jiang Yuetang thought for a while and replied: "First, the terrain is at a disadvantage, second, the desire to win, and third, the opponent in chess. ”

"Well, that's right, there is another reason - Gao Huan is too underestimated to be the enemy, he didn't figure out Wei Xiaokuan's thoughts, but Wei Xiaokuan figured out his thoughts clearly, which is also where Wei Xiaokuan is better than him psychologically and strategically. ”

Jiang Yuetang nodded, but she still hadn't come up with a way to deal with Wei Xiaokuan, so she said to Shangguan Che: "Teacher, please give me a day, I will try my best to come up with a way." And he said, "I won't let Daddy help, I think to myself." ”

Shangguan Che nodded.

And so that's the end of the day's lesson.

After sending Shangguan Che away, Jiang Yuetang rushed into the study and meditated on the jade city he painted.

Thinking about it, she had an idea.

The next afternoon, when Shangguan Che came to give her a lecture, she said to Shangguan Che, "Teacher, I have thought of a way to attack Yubi City. ”

Shangguan Che's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Let's hear it." ”

Jiang Yuetang said: "Grind sulfur, realgar and saltpeter (1) into powder, mix them together, and pack them into bags with small cloth bags, making a total of 5,000 bags, and tying them to the bow and arrow one by one." Then he dipped the pine branches and hemp stalks in oil, made 3,000 portions, and tied them to the other 3,000 pairs of bows and arrows. Eight thousand soldiers were sent to carry these bows and arrows up the hill, and the archers with cloth bags in their hands shot the cloth bags into the jade city first, and then set fire to the three thousand bows and arrows tied with pine branches and hemp poles, and shot them into the jade city as well. In this case, even if Wei Xiaokuan's people had time to block the 5,000 cloth bags, they would not have time to block the 3,000 fires, so as soon as the 3,000 fires came into contact with those cloth bags, they would explode, and the oil-stained pine branches and hemp sticks themselves were also flammable, so that Yubi City would soon become a sea of fire. ”

Shangguan Che listened and said sincerely: "This is the best way I have ever heard about attacking Jade City. ”

Seeing that Shangguan Che approved of this plan, Jiang Yuetang breathed a long sigh of relief.

.........................

Note (1): Sulfur, realgar and saltpeter are the raw materials of gunpowder, but gunpowder was not yet invented during Gao Huan's attack on Yubi City, but some people have known that these three things together will explode.
