Chapter 871: The Court of the Northwest War 1

Zhong Lirui glanced at Xu Han, shook his head and said, "Deduction is just comparing all possibilities and finding the best solution, but it can't cover everything. "Words * Love * First * Hair"

Wang Xiu nodded and said, "Exactly, there are no absolutes on the battlefield, only relative coping strategies, and the deduction never changes quickly." Perhaps, a small change can change the direction of the whole situation. ”

"It makes sense, but this can't ensure that Shaanxi starts a war, and the captives don't take advantage of the opportunity." Li Guang was very worried, he was very cautious, and the danger of this war was too great, and it seemed a little too risky.

"No, strategic deduction is not battlefield deduction." Zhong Lirui laughed twice, Pingqiang City has more than 7,000 people in the western army, plus the township army and native soldiers in the rotation, there are 10,000 people guarding the palace.

As long as you can make proper use of the terrain of the pass and don't attack blindly, with the support of the camp, it will be difficult for the 100,000 Xia army to capture Pingqiang City.

The most important thing is that there are wells in the city, which solves the big problem of defending the city, and according to the conversion of troops, it can hold out for at least three months, or even longer.

Judging from the mobilization of the western service army, the strength of the five major camps in the Yuanxia border area, the forbidden army company can levy 300,000 township troops from various military states and towns, and there is no need for reinforcements from the northern service army.

Li Guang held his identity and didn't want to argue with Zhong Lirui, so he said lightly: "Taiwei Chen, Taiwei Wang, what are the chances of quickly taking Lingzhou and Xingzhou?"

Liu Guangshi pursed his lips and didn't speak, Chen Quan, the secretary of the military department, and Wang Xuan, the deputy envoy, sighed at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Chen Quan was originally born in the Western Army, served as the deputy chief of soldiers and horses on the Zhending Mansion Road, and joined the forbidden army in front of the palace after losing the town and fleeing south.

He also agrees with this battle, after all, it is the Western Army as the main force, but it is obvious that the bosses of the two provinces are not confident, and he is not easy to speak.

Wang Xuan pouted and disagreed, he had defeated the Jurchen warrior Diagonal Ali, and he was Li Gang's optimistic old department, where would he be afraid of others, and said loudly: "With the best military deployment, the two major battalions will contain the Left Wing Military Division, and then divide the north and south roads, and you can quickly reach Lingzhou." ”

He didn't say how long it would take to take Xingqing, nor did he make any guarantees, the time was not something he could predict.

Wang Xiu silently looked at the sand table of mountains and rivers, and the best plan was actually planned by him and let Feng Yuan release it.

In fact, it is also very simple, that is, to summarize the experience of the Mongols in fighting against the party in history, and avoid fighting hard with the powerful Left Wing Military Division. With the army of two camps, the Xia Zuoxiang Military Division was contained, so that the main force of the party could not escape.

Pingqiang City is a point, the Song army formed two rapid troops, with a strong infantry army, the south road from the Xihe Road to the north, into the right side of the army defense area to the north, the north road along the grassland border west, directly attack the province of Weicheng.

"It is feasible to camp on the south road, but if the camp on the north road crosses the border, I am afraid that it will cause the captives to counterattack." Li Gang also has a unique vision and sees the danger point.

Wang Xiu did not think that Li Gang was too careful, the actual north road was definitely a risk, and the success of the deduction did not mean that the actual battle was smooth. Also, it was just a plan, it was too difficult to operate, the offensive position of the Great Song Dynasty could not completely avoid the left wing of the Xia army, and the battle could only be constantly changed in the war, and the result of sticking to the rules could only be the annihilation of the whole army.

The battle plan he planned was too unrealistic even for himself, and he couldn't avoid a decisive battle with the left wing of the Xia army.

Wang Xuan's expression was a little proud, he glanced at Liu Guangshi, and said loudly: "With the worst plan, the war in the northwest cannot form a final account for a while, the Jurchens take the opportunity to go south, and in terms of troops, the northern army can completely deal with it, and the guards and sailors are stationed on Shamen Island, and they can also go to sea to threaten Yanshan, at least a draw can be guaranteed." ”

"The main force of the guard navy has already moved south, and Shamen Island is not enough to form a deterrent to the captives, and the guard navy on Long Island is here, and it must not go north." Xu Han gave Wang Xuan a blank slate, his tone was very unpleasant, obviously very unoptimistic about the guards and sailors.

Wang Xuan was very dissatisfied with Xu Han's attitude, since the guards of the navy army rushed to Luanzhou, the battle on the shore was fierce, and the losses were relatively severe.

However, that fierce battle was transformed into valuable experience, whether it was from the landing attack or the formation arrangement, it benefited the guards and sailors a lot, and they all joined the military division and the guard navy both joined the military division, and they had long planned the formation of the team to deal with the Jin army and the horse army.

That is to say, the remaining Tiger Wing Fifth Army, whether it is the configuration of the first battle or the tactics, has gradually adapted to the needs of the landing battle, ensuring that the landing site is held to meet the reinforcements of the Mabu Army or the arrival of follow-up troops.

He frowned, and said in a stiff tone: "The sea ship swimming in the coastal waters of Ge Yanshan will definitely be able to deter the captives, and the two brigades and towns of the Fifth Army of the Tiger Wing stationed in Jingdong can completely deter Yanshan, and Xu Xianggong does not need to worry." ”

The size of the garrison navy is not large, and the scale of brigades and towns is even smaller, which reflects the importance of landing operations requiring a small establishment and flexibility, and the two brigades and towns are only more than 4,000 people, and they can form two battle formations.

Wang Xiu appreciated Wang Xuan's attitude of not being arrogant or humble, and also said: "Lord Xu, if you can let Goryeo give up Jianghua and control the land with the sea, it will be more deterrent to guard the navy. ”

"What your lord said is that we can land at any point and catch him by surprise." Zhong Lirui wasted no time in adding.

Xu Han didn't want to argue, he had said everything that should be said, Wang Xiu was the disposal envoy again, and he obviously had already made up his mind, why should he be that wicked person

Li Gang seemed very hesitant, and said slowly: "If you don't use the southeast warehouse, can you support the decisive battle of the northwest army?"

Wang Xiu smiled, Li Gang's intention was very obvious, not to use the war of the country's strength. However, the deeper implication is very clear, the other side does not want to spend limited resources on the Northwest Battlefield and affect the great cause of the Northern Expedition.

In the eyes of the scholars, the northwest is also a secondary battlefield.

Liu Guangshi coughed and said, "Li Xianggong, although Shu Dao is difficult, it can also support half of the grain and grass. ”

Li Gang nodded easily, with Liu Guangshi's affirmation, Shaanxi plus the warehousing in western Beijing, then there is no need to use the southeast warehouse, and he has nothing to say.

Wang Xiu is very concerned about the war in the northwest, and has already made precise calculations, and the Shaanxi Sixth Road Warehouse Reserve, coupled with the more abundant grain and grass reserves in Shuchuan, can fully support a long-term victory, as for Jingxi, it is a backup.

Besides, the Western Servant Army was equipped with some unique equipment and was ready to deal with the party's horse army. Not to mention the firearms that are being assembled one after another, the four-wheeled tank alone is enough to set the direction of the times, and the closed tank with four wheels, completely imitating the neglected armored tank, the tank of a team, a battalion or even a brigade means
