Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 104 The Breath of Luchuan (9)

The so-called fog of war on a larger level is actually looking at the fog of war from the perspective of a complete battlefield.

To put it simply, it is not limited to Luchuan, but from a broader perspective, the entire deployment of the Ming army from Mengyangcheng to Jiangtoucheng is regarded as a whole, and the battlefield situation is judged.

The reason for this is actually very simple, because this is what the supreme commander of the Ming army needs to take into account, and the commanders of the Ming army at all levels should participate in the construction of the command system, and finally jointly achieve victory in a war.

This process should have been in the fog of the unknown, because there was a lot of information that was in the unknown, from the pre-war preparations, to the deployment of the war, all the way to the final battle process and battle results.

If all the confidence can be grasped by the commander, then the battle situation can naturally be predicted and won, but it is clear that there is a lot of confidence that cannot be mastered.

With the development of science and technology, people in later generations were still unable to see through the fog of war and thoroughly grasp the situation, and the time goes back to the middle of the 15th century, when cold weapons were still widely used, and when intelligence information, transportation and other technologies were extremely backward and primitive, the fog of war was even deeper and wider, which widely affected all those involved in the battle, and also greatly affected the judgment of commanders.

Therefore, the more in this era, the more there are "famous generals", which is a kind of judgment ability against the deep fog of war. A person who becomes a famous general is a person who can win incredible wars, and a person who can guarantee the strength of his own army no matter what the situation.

Therefore, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, who was knighted as a civil servant, can be called a famous general, not to mention his previous military exploits in the northwest and Luchuan, even if the situation in Luchuan was the most dangerous moment, he also successfully controlled the situation, prevented the expansion of Luchuan's power, and ended the long battle of Luchuan with an overall victory of the Ming army.

On the other hand, the possible Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is a typical negative example. Although he led a large number of elite Ming troops and had the highest level of power to deploy troops, he could not see through the fog of war and made effective judgments on all kinds of uncertain military information, which eventually led to a fiasco that was remembered by history.

And the fog of war, the reason why it can be called "fog", is because of the absolute existence of this fog-like information barrier, even if it is a famous general, it is only with excellent judgment ability before the fog of war, and can not be absolutely judged, after all, unknown things, always unknown things, no matter how strong the judgment, and what really happened, there is still an essential difference.

Jiang Yuyan's biggest advantage over these famous generals is also an ability that all famous generals or mediocre people in history can never master, that is, he knows the direction and final result of some things, and he can reverse the development of things through the final result, which is also his biggest advantage in the face of the fog of war, and to a certain extent, he can even surpass the judgment of famous generals.

But even so, Jiang Yugang still has to face up to the fact that the fog of war exists, even if he comes from the future, he has a certain ability to predict the future for this era that has passed hundreds of years in his timeline, but he still can't know many details of the war, which is limited by his current actual identity.

The most direct point is the situation of the Ming army in the area of Jiangtou City.

Jiang Yugang's intelligence on the main force of the Ming army in the Jiangtou City area mostly came from Bai Qianfan in Mengyangcheng, and although a simple contact point was established in the Jiangtou City area, the information that could be obtained was extremely limited, and there was no detailed information acquisition.

The information he received was extremely vague, after all, the training of his intelligence department was definitely not professional, strictly speaking, these intelligence officers in Manggu Castle were only half-baked training.

It may be that these intelligence personnel have been able to obtain higher quality information than the spies of the Luchuan Army, or that they have the ability to obtain higher quality of information than the spies of the Luchuan Army, but neither the quality of the personnel nor the actual environmental conditions have supported it, and in fact they have not been able to establish a mature intelligence system for the Ming army camp in Jiangtou City.

For the information really needed for this battle, whether it is the military deployment and battle situation near Jiangtou City, or the movement of troops sent by the Jiangtou City battalion, they are all in a situation close to unknown, Jiang Yugang naturally needs this information very much, but the difficulty of obtaining this information is also very high, intelligence personnel have to face certain risks in order to obtain information, and the accuracy of intelligence and the transmission of intelligence after obtaining information are also relatively difficult.

At present, the matter of asking for help from the Ming army camp in Jiangtou City is a direct reflection of the high difficulty of obtaining this kind of intelligence, but no matter how difficult it is, Jiang Yugang cannot find any other alternative method, so he can only wait and wait for the arrival of useful intelligence information.

················

Although Jiang Yugang had no intention of falling asleep, he waited on the castle tower for a long time, so long that from the time the sky just darkened until the position of the moon in the sky began to slowly decline, he gradually lost the mood to continue to concentrate and wait, and began to wander endlessly.

said that he was distracted, and all he was thinking about was Meng Yangcheng's war planning, and the analysis and judgment of various situations did not scatter his thoughts too far. However, even this level of distraction is already a bit of a luxury for Jiang Yugang.

Since traveling to the Ming Dynasty, he has been fully focused on the environment around him and various matters to deal with in most cases, and rarely has long distractions.

He doesn't hate these things, although the Luchuan battlefield is dangerous everywhere, and there is a possibility of various accidents at any time, but this danger does bring a certain sense of excitement, and in addition to the current battle of Mengyangcheng and the attack of the Luchuan army that he just faced after coming to Manggu Mountain, these dangers did not make Jiang Yugang feel hopeless, but a special pleasure of surviving for the rest of his life, which made Jiang Yugang feel some happiness.

In addition, the thing that occupied most of Jiang Yu's time was a large number of chores in Mang Castle, because he had been organizing the residents of Mang Castle and establishing the so-called Ten Courtyards, and the organization of these Ten Courtyards was followed by a large number of chores. Although theoretically only the Secret Academy and the Divine Hunting Academy are directly in charge of Jiang Yugang, in fact, many affairs in each academy need Jiang Yugang to intervene.

Because the Ten Academies have actually been in a process of establishment for several months, and have not yet formed a relatively stable state, there are often all kinds of questions, and Jiang Yugang naturally needs to answer these questions one by one.

In addition to the affairs of the Ten Courtyards, there are many other problems in the entire Mang Ancient Castle, from the flow of people, moving in and out, to the arrangement of the residents' residence and living arrangements, these affairs are often ultimately handled by Jiang Yugang.

During the period when the number of newly moved people in Mang Castle was the largest, Jiang Yugang had to deal with affairs almost every day from dawn until midnight, and only had a very short time to rest every day.

After all, what he wants to do is to introduce the future organizational design to a certain extent, and build a working system with a modern, even future concept, and to put these things, some things that exist in his imagination, into reality, Jiang Yuyan needs to make great efforts for it, which is what he has prepared and is acceptable. Because Jiang Yugang didn't think it was a meaningless thing, what he did was indeed effectively promoting the development of Mang Castle, so that the thousands of residents in it became more and more organized and could take on more and more tasks.

As the situation in Manggu Mountain gradually stabilized, the number of residents of Manggu Castle finally almost ceased to increase. The Luchuan army rarely moved around the Manggu Mountain, and even if there was an occasional trace, it was as far away as possible from the location of the Manggu Castle, and the inhabitants of the Manggu Mountain were left with three fates: dying in the chaos, defecting to others and moving into the Manggu Castle.

When the flow of population in Manggu Mountain finally came in the summer, it finally came to an end, and the Manggu Mountain, which had been active in the Ming Army, the Luchuan Army, the residents of the villages in the Manggu Mountain and the bandits in the mountains and forests, became quiet, the Luchuan Army was difficult to see, and the cottages were also desolate and dilapidated, and the bandits who had been dominating for a time were also wiped out in the semi-training operations of the Manggu Castle.

In the end, only the power of Mang Castle remained, and because there was no longer a large inflow of new population, the expansion of Mang Castle finally entered a relatively stable stage. There is no longer a grand occasion of the Luchuan people in the stockade dragging their families to Manggu Castle, and all that remains is the occasional passing by fugitives who have no way out to rush to the castle with a glimmer of hope, of course, the number of the latter is very small, compared to the scale of Mang Castle close to 4,000 people, it is nothing at all.

It is also because of this that the expansion of Mang Castle entered a stable period, and Jiang Yugang finally began to slowly become idle, but he did not have a few days of leisure, and the army of Luchuan began to assemble near the Indoji Great Lake, and the war in Meng Yang made him start to have new things to do every day.

This night, on the eve of the large-scale attack of the Luchuan Army in the intelligence, Jiang Yugang stood on the tower of Mengyangcheng, feeling the night breeze of Mengyangcheng, and at the same time gained a short period of relaxation.

It may be that since the thirteenth year of Ming Yingzong's orthodoxy in October to the Luchuan battlefield Manggu Mountain to the current Ming Yingzong orthodoxy in late June of the fourteenth year of Ming Yingzong's orthodoxy, Jiang Yu's body and mind have been the most relaxed moment in the past six months. Even though he was anxiously waiting for information from the Barbarian Temple, in the process of waiting, he gained an incredible calmness.

In the middle of the night in Mengyang City, I watched the soldiers on duty under the city alone, and the mountains and forests and horizon of the beautiful curves of the Luchuan River in the night, and the night wind of the Luchuan River passed by, bringing the sound of blowing countless branches and leaves in the mountains and forests.

Jiang Yuyan suddenly had a feeling at that moment, as if he heard Lu Chuan's breathing.

If every piece of land is like the legend, there is a land lord or mountain god, then what kind of feelings will this land lord or mountain god have for his land? Looking at the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the people of this land, will they have any spiritual touch? If so, what would they do?

For a moment, Jiang Yu couldn't help but think about it, it was a story hidden in the depths of the land, maybe it was just a story, but it didn't look like a story, because Jiang Yu thought of the process of coming to the fifteenth century A.D. hundreds of years later.

Many conjectures were passed in his heart, Jiang Yu couldn't help but sigh meaninglessly, looked down the city tower, and suddenly heard the horn of the soldiers on duty on the tower.
