786 I saw the cat and the mouse

"Queen Mother, if you were the commander of the other party, what would you do?"

"Divide the troops!"

"It's the commander, not the general, the Queen Mother, you now think of yourself as the person who makes plans behind the scenes of the other party, not a general who leads the troops of the other party."

"Chen Fang, I don't understand what you mean."

"Mei Niang..."

Wu Meiniang noticed that Chen Fang was calling her name at this time, not her honorific name, and Chen Fang called a sentence, perhaps to sort out her thoughts, or to leave Wu Meiniang some time to continue thinking about the question just now.

Think from the position of the other party's commander, not from the position of one of the opponent's generals leading troops.

Depending on where you are standing, you have something to consider at this point.

As a commander-in-chief, Gu is naturally the winner or loser of the overall situation, and for this, he can even sacrifice some interests.

As a general, you only need to think from your own position, and consider the outcome of the specific battle, as long as the army you lead can win the war.

War and campaign, this is the difference.

Chen Fang eased up there, reached out and grabbed Wu Meiniang's hand, pulled her hand tightly, and then walked to the corner of the sand table.

"After the assassination of the Emperor and Empress of the Han Dynasty, Chen Fang thought about this problem day and night, and the assassins were divided into two waves, the first wave of assassins was obviously used as a gunman, and the same was true of the Han army at this time."

"The other party wants to use the hand of King Pingnan, with the help of the Han army to avenge the death of the Han emperor and queen in the Tang Dynasty, the Han army at this time is a tragic army, the tragic soldier is the most terrible, avoid its edge, and at the same time, also pull the Han army out from the overall consideration of the other party."

"The speed of the Han army's action is too fast, it will inevitably affect the opponent's layout, Mei Niang, this is a battlefield, not a chessboard, the opponent's layout is too big, it must be calculated from the beginning, and the time and direction of the attack in all directions are calculated."

"Mei Niang, think about it, the distance between the Western Regions, Northern Xinjiang, and Southern Xinjiang, how long will it take for the person behind the scenes to change the arranged strategy. I can say that there is basically no change, and there is no time to change. ”

Wu Meiniang thought about it and nodded, this is the reason why the battle situation has changed and it is difficult to control. Because time and distance make it difficult for commanders to get specific battlefield dynamics, and it is also difficult to convey their will to the front line.

Chen Fang said to himself before that Datang would be embattled, and at this time, Chen Fang pointed out the weaknesses in these embattled.

The opponent cannot do real-time command, but can only plan in advance.

This plan, starting with the Han army, wanted to use the Han army to consume the Tang Dynasty's military strength, and also to use the Han army to involve the surrounding forces of the Tang Dynasty.

For this reason, other directions must be static, just waiting for the opportunity to move, during this time period, Datang is only facing the Han army attacking from the north, and the threat from other directions has not happened for the time being.

Chen Fang's footsteps stopped, and Wu Meiniang's hand was slowly pulled up and pulled to his chest.

"Mei Niang, what we have to do is to completely eat the Han army in the north before the other party makes a move in other directions, and we can't let the Tang army break our muscles and bones. It is the army, not the territory, that needs to be preserved now. ”

"Lost land can be regained, people cannot be resurrected after death, this army is the elite of the elite of the Tang army."

Wu Meiniang nodded, the north direction is the key area guarded by the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army deployed here is naturally the most elite border army of the Tang army.

"When the time comes, there will be chaos in the West, and the worst result will be that we will face the Western Regions Alliance Army and the Xiongnu Iron Cavalry, this army will be of great use at that time, but this must be taken off the battlefield."

Chen Fang said, took Wu Meiniang's hand, put it above the sand table, above the Yellow River, Wu Meiniang's hand pinched the small flag symbolizing the Han army and pulled it out.

"Hong'er and I have to rely on you!"

Throwing the small flag on the ground, Wu Meiniang leaned on Chen Fang, Chen Fang hugged her and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

In the north, at this time, the twilight is vast, the north of the loess plateau, the sun is about to set, the Tang army retreating from the north of the Yellow River, finally completely crossed the Yellow River, the southern line of the Yellow River, at this time the Tang army unfolded, it is necessary to rely on the Yellow River to meet the Han army in the south.

The sound of the hooves of the sentry horses sounded along the banks of the Yellow River, and the soldiers guarding the guards hurriedly gave way, letting the hooves of the sentry horses trample on the dust and gallop into the barracks.

At this time, in the barracks, several Tang Army generals turned pale, looked at each other, and then looked at the military orders from Chang'an.

"Withdraw! Remove! Remove! What the hell is the horse going to do? ”

"That is, we have withdrawn from the Great Wall here, and we are still letting us retreat. This battle is really a wretch, general, look at my sword, it hasn't been unsheathed yet! ”

A general slapped his hand on the desk with a snap.

"General, we can't withdraw anymore, and if we withdraw again, we will have no danger to defend. I want to fight, not to be a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

"Yes, I also want to ask for a battle and fight with the Han army in a dignified manner."

"This military order was issued from the Twelve Guards, not a suggestion, not a tip, but a military order. Will you disobey the orders of the army? ”

There was a sigh in the barracks, and no one said anything about the horse at this time, but I am afraid that in everyone's heart, the horse has already been scolded.

This shrunken turtle is made of it, and its head is almost out of reach.

"Withdraw, carry out the order, and also, the ministries discard some heavy armaments on the way."

"General, how can you withdraw what you lost, I don't lose it, it's all the sergeant's rations and weapons."

"Lose, if you don't fight anyway, you won't need these to be a turtle."

"Execute the order!"

Several officers walked out of the camp with a disgraced face, which had just arrived on the bank of the Yellow River, ready to defend to the death, and now they were about to retreat again.

They are the elite of the Tang Army, and it is really a shame to withdraw again and again. In the future, I will meet other officers Chang'an, and I will not be laughed at by others.

But what can it be, this is a military order.

I knew that I would defend the Great Wall, anyway, what the horse gave at that time was just a bag, not a military order.

That's it, let's withdraw, you have to lose things, what's the good thing to lose, the gold and silver artifacts are lost first, these are the most useless, keep the baggage and weapons, and you can still use them in the war.

An officer looked at the sky, is this planning to let us withdraw to Chang'an?

Is this battle going to be fought?

Withdraw, what's the use of thinking about anything else.

The Tang army withdrew one after another, and the road was full of abandoned baggage supplies, and the camp on the south bank of the Yellow River was also burned, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and the raging flames could be seen from dozens of miles away.

In the Northern Han army, at this time, there was a white cloth and white armor, because it was necessary to transport baggage, especially the artillery of the accompanying army, and the marching speed was not fast.

The Han army is like a turtle moving forward slowly, and if the Tang army wants to run, they basically can't stop it.

"Lord Wang, look, the Tang army burned down their own camp."

"These Tang soldiers are really cowardly, they were bombarded by our artillery on the side of the Great Wall once, and now they run away when they see us, just like a mouse who sees a cat."
