Chapter 37: Bing Ge [3]
After ten days, the rumbling drums sounded again in the army, and the three drums stopped, and the order was immediately given to beat the drums and raise the tent, and the generals were gathered to discuss the matter.
In the rumbling of the snare drums, the generals gathered and lined up on both sides.
Princess Yuyang was in high spirits, her expression was solemn, and her originally beautiful face was now dyed with a wisp of murderous atmosphere, with a majestic atmosphere of looking forward to life, and the generals were in high spirits when they saw this, knowing that the war was about to begin, and they were all brave and excited, wanting to grab a pioneer.
Yuyang looked at the generals and said in a deep voice, "Zhuqing, now that the deployment of Shushan is already familiar with the palace, it is time to prepare to take Shushan to punish the rebellion!" ”
Wang Song was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that His Royal Highness has a good plan, and the last general will listen to it." ”
Yuyang smiled and said, "In terms of the defense of Shushan, it is difficult to break through the city defense with ordinary offensive methods, coupled with the rebellion of Shushan and the occupation of the geographical advantage, the ordinary tactics have all increased the casualties of our army, saying that we have to use some ingenious ways to get the map!" ”
Hearing this, the four sergeants immediately trotted all the way to get a huge topographic map, and then bowed down and retreated, Yuyang walked down the handsome case, came to the hanging map, and pointed to the west, south, north, and three sides of the mountain road in Shushan, "These three sides of the rebellion have arranged three lines of defense here, which can support each other, and the defense is extremely fierce, to break through these three defenses, our army must find ways in three aspects: mobility, defense, and attack."
Only excellent mobility can quickly pass through the attack surface in front of the rebel trench and reach the front of the rebel trench with minimal casualties, and only with extremely strong defensive power can better protect our soldiers in the face of the rebels' offensive such as rolling stones, bows and arrows, so that our army has sufficient available troops.
Again, it is necessary to have a strong attack force, so that after reaching the enemy line, you can quickly and effectively annihilate the enemy army and resist the enemy's counterattack, instead of being beaten back by the enemy in the head.
From the three aspects mentioned by Bengong Shicai, you can take a look, what do you think? ”
Meng Ao reacted the fastest, and immediately said, "In the three aspects that His Highness Shicai said, the general thought that he should abandon a part of our cavalry, because the mountains of Shu are vertical and horizontal, and if you want to advance quickly, the cavalry will not look at it. ”
General Meng continued. Princess Yuyang nodded in agreement.
"The last general thinks that the Iron Eagle swordsman is the arrow, and charges to give the enemy a strong impact, and then follows up with a heavily armored crossbowman to suppress the opponent's archers, so as to be foolproof."
Yuyang nodded and said, "It's also right and no, although the 'Iron Eagle Swordsman' brought by this palace is unmatched, but this is only barely competent in terms of mobility and attack power, and it lacks a lot in terms of defense, especially the soldiers of our army are not familiar with the most mountainous terrain, which is a disadvantage."
On the other hand, the rebels have taken advantage of the territory here, and if they are just like this, they will simply be swordsmen and fish and meat, and give the lives of our soldiers in vain. ”
Although the generals were a little indignant when they heard this, but the fact is that the rebels are in this advantageous place, condescending, rolling stones and trees, and the rain of arrows is dense, and the charge of the cavalry of the Qin army cannot be carried out in the mountains, and the slightest mistake will cause heavy casualties.
Yuyang watched the general, and continued, "Therefore, if the palace wants to increase the defense of our army, it is necessary to strengthen the armor, and all the current leather armor is abandoned, and the high-quality iron ore of the Nanyang generation must be selected from the old land of South Korea, and handed over to the craftsmen in the army to create an ironclad warrior who will step into the sword, and take this step by step!" ”
"Ironclad?!" The generals were stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't help but have some concerns in their hearts, can this method work?
Meng Ao asked, "Does Your Highness mean that all the soldiers of our army should be dressed in iron armor?" ”
Princess Yuyang nodded and said, "Select a part of the sturdy soldiers in the whole army and put them on iron armor, so that our army does not have to be afraid of the enemy's condescending rain of arrows, or even rolling stones." ”
In later generations, heavy armored main battle weapons such as tanks were the most suitable, but they could not be made in ancient times, and they could only be barely made up with heavy armor.
Meng Ao was overjoyed when he heard this, but hesitated: "But Your Highness, I'm afraid that the sergeant will carry too much weight and it will be difficult to last!" Princess Yuyang smiled and said: "This is not simple, when sprinting for a short distance, everyone and horses are heavily armored, and when running for a long distance, only soldiers wear light leather armor!" ”
When Wang Song heard this, he said: "This is feasible, I will not immediately order the guards guarding Nanyang to mobilize all the blacksmiths to quickly build armor!" ”
Princess Yuyang nodded and said: "The style of the armor of the soldier and the war horse is a relatively new type of chain fine scale armor, and the defense is very good, and the palace will give you the pattern tomorrow." It must be strictly ordered to complete 9,000 sets of armor of people and war horses within two months in Nanyang, and those who have not completed it will be beheaded, and those who are completed on time will be rewarded by the palace! ”
"Whoa!" The generals agreed with a bang.
After Princess Yuyang arranged the matter of the ironclad soldiers, she continued: "But to break the rebels of Shu Mountain, it is not enough to only have ironclad soldiers, please see, Phoenix Mountain guards the important place east of the entire Shu Mountain mountains, and the city cast by Shu Mountain is only a hundred steps below the mountain." As long as our army conquers Phoenix Mountain in one fell swoop, then we can overlook the city from a high position. In this way, the rebels' mobilization and reality are all in the hands of our army, and the initiative on the battlefield is also in our hands. The rebels were already short of food, grass and baggage, so that after two months, without our army attacking, the rebels would already be at the end of their crossbows. At that time, the ironclad army will come out again, and conquering the abandoned city will be as simple as rolling soup and pouring snow! ”
The generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all stood up with a hula cry: "I didn't ask for orders to conquer Phoenix Mountain!" Princess Yuyang was stunned: so enthusiastic! smiled and said: "That's it, General Wang Song, you are more familiar with the generals than me, and the military horses will be deployed by you." The army is preparing for three days, I look at the sky, there will be fog after three days, and then take the opportunity to conquer Phoenix Mountain with the strength of the whole army in one fell swoop! Yuyang slammed his fist on the case, shaking the handsome case a few times.
"Whoa!" The generals were churning in blood, and they couldn't help but shout.
Princess Yuyang closed her eyes and sighed: "Shushan...... Ji Yu, looking at today's events, can you make a decision in one go? ! Princess Yuyang turned to look at Jiang Yu, who had not said a word, and her face was not solemn, leaving only a rare softness.
"Her Royal Highness the princess has studied the art of war since she was a child, but today is a godsend opportunity for Her Royal Highness to show his strengths, not to mention, our army with the power of a country against the power of a city in Shushan District, the victory or defeat does not need to be too much to worry about, you can see the difference, please Your Highness be relieved, don't be sad because of this."
Looking at the encouragement in Jiang Yu's eyes, Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously a smile appeared on his lips, which was even more beautiful and moving in this solemn Chinese army tent.
