Chapter 12 Details determine success or failure, and the overall situation determines the future
"Don't keep it?"
Lin Xiaodao was a little stunned, he had just received 5,000 stone of grain and grass from others, and he swore that he would stick to it for ten days, how could he say that if he didn't keep it, he wouldn't keep it?
"This is called a soldier who doesn't get tired of cheating, understand?" Chen Ziqian smiled and continued to eat venison, muttering as he ate: "Earn five thousand stone grain for nothing, it's beautiful." ”
The corners of Lin Xiaodao's mouth twitched a few times: "Don't laugh, my lord, the rebels have 10,000 horses, and once they arrive in the city, they will know that the county is in danger." ”
"Then don't let them arrive." Chen Ziqian said disapprehantly, then looked up at Lin Xiaodao and asked, "If this battle were commanded by you, what would you do?" ”
"Me?" Lin Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment before shaking his head and said, "With this amount of strength to defend the city, I'm afraid I can only hold on for three days at most." ”
"Why do you have to defend the city?"
"A gentleman should be true to his word, but how can he be self-reliant without faith? The adults received 5,000 stone of grain and grass from Gong Changshi, are they ready to abandon the city? Lin Xiaodao frowned slightly, his expression was extremely serious, and he was even a little disappointed in Chen Ziqian.
Chen Ziqian smiled and said: "Who said that I was going to abandon the city and go, I naturally had to do things for people to collect food and grass, and it was only for ten days to block the rebels, and the county town could not hold it, so go out and eat them, just 10,000 horses, it is not difficult." ”
"Your Excellency wants to go back on the defensive?" Lin Xiaodao's eyebrows were locked deeper, and after thinking carefully, if he wanted to block the rebels for ten days, this was a good way.
It's just that the gap in strength is so huge, with 2,500 to 10,000, there is no chance of winning this battle, let alone such a group of militia.
Lin Xiaodao was arrogant by nature, he asked himself that Wen Taowu was no worse than others, but if he really wanted him to lead the troops, he really couldn't see any chance of winning this battle.
"Someone!" Chen Ziqian could probably guess what Lin Xiaodao was thinking, so he called the guards and ordered, "Go and bring the map on my desk." ”
"Whoa!"
The guards hurried back and forth, and quickly retrieved the map.
Chen Ziqian spread the map on the table, pointed to a canyon and said: "The rebels are coming from Yangqian County, and they are divided into eight routes, and other places are left alone for the time being. ”
"Your Excellency wants to lay an ambush here?" Lin Xiaodao squinted his eyes slightly, thought about it and shook his head again: "I have also walked through the Heavenly Canyon, it is indeed a good place to ambush soldiers, but the terrain is too obvious, and the enemy may not be able to see it." ”
"If you were a rebel commander, what would you do according to your military habits?" Chen Ziqian asked with a smile, deliberately hanging Lin Xiaodao, ready to brush him with a wave of favorability.
"Of course, we will send a team to inspect the canyon first, ensure safety, and then let the team pass through in batches."
"Then what if I let you pass through and arrange an ambush at the exit, what should you do?"
"This ......" Lin Xiaodao frowned and said, "My lord wants to give up the natural danger and concentrate the ambush soldiers at the exit position?" ”
"Two thousand five hundred soldiers and horses are concentrated here, but there is a fighting force, but this can't stop 10,000 horses, what if the rebels eat our only soldiers and horses afterwards, and kill them to the city?"
"I'll just tell you." Chen Ziqian shook his head and said, "I have two thousand five hundred soldiers and horses, one thousand people are ambushed on the canyon, and the other thousand are ambushed near the exit of the canyon. ”
"I will let the enemy through the canyon first, this is the time when the enemy is most alert, and the effect of touching the ambush will not be very good, but if the enemy successfully walks out of the canyon, it will be different."
"At that time, their tense nerves will inevitably relax as they get out of the canyon, and I only need to arrange a team of crossbowmen at the exit position to shoot the enemy vanguard with all their might, and guess what will happen next?"
Chen Ziqian looked at Lin Xiaodao with a smile.
"The front army was attacked as soon as it came out of the canyon, and the rear army was bound to be trapped in the canyon...... If you retreat, you will enter the canyon, and if you advance, you will be in chaos, hiss~~~" Lin Xiaodao gasped, in this case, he would definitely choose to retreat, but in that case, the ambush soldiers lying above would throw boulders and rolling wood, and the enemy's casualties would definitely be even worse.
At this time, if you gather troops and cover them in one fell swoop, let alone 10,000 horses, even 20,000 or 30,000 horses will have to die in the canyon.
The key is that this possibility is still very great, and it can give full play to the geographical advantage.
"The lord just swore to Gong Changshi that the strategy for this enemy had already been thought out in advance?" Lin Xiaodao looked at Chen Ziqian with a shocked expression, thinking of Chen Ziqian's calm posture when the news of the rebels coming came, this speculation was explained at once.
"Actually, I even have the boulders on the canyon ready." Chen Ziqian smiled, because Lin Xiaodao's favorability towards him increased by 2 points.
Lin Xiaodao's eyes widened: "Even this is ready!?" ”
Bite!
System prompt: Lin Xiaodao was impressed by the host's foresight, and his favorability increased by 7 points!
"The military report has just arrived in the afternoon, why do you seem to know all this in advance?"
Lin Xiaodao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he was also here when the military report came back.
And he was with Chen Ziqian all afternoon, during which he didn't hear any arrangements from Chen Ziqian, and no one in the barracks went out to deploy, when was the boulder rolling wood sent?
"Xiaodao, as a commander-in-chief, you must have a clear sense of the overall situation, although you are Wen Taowu, but the overall situation is too limited, and there is still a long way to go if you want to be a general." Chen Ziqian said in an old-fashioned manner, explaining the current situation and the rebels' intentions by the way.
From the moment he learned that the rebels were the king, he was already thinking about the next step after the rebels captured Yangqian.
There is no doubt that the rebels will definitely enter the Central Plains if they rebel, and Taibei County is an important transportation hub for the north to enter the Central Plains.
It is not difficult to judge that sooner or later the rebels will attack Taibei County, and the soldiers are very fast, and it has entered the rainy season, and the rain is coming, if it cannot be taken as soon as possible, the rebels will have to wait until summer.
Hundreds of thousands of horses, people eat horses and feed, where can they wait so long.
So he asked Lieutenant Yang to train the recruits' physical fitness on the pretext of letting the recruits carry the boulders and logs up the canyon, so that they could not only train the soldiers, but also deploy the preparations in advance, and just wait for the rebels to come in, and they can easily harvest.
"The knife has been taught!" When Lin Xiaodao heard Chen Ziqian's speaking posture, not only did he not disagree, but respectfully bowed his hand.
And it was this simple gift that originally accumulated 71 points of favorability, and suddenly climbed to 100 points.
Bite!
System Prompt: Lin Xiaodao is inspired by the host, and the commander's qualification is increased by 5 points, and the favorability is increased by 29 points to reach saturation.
System prompt: Congratulations to the host and Lin Xiaodao for reaching the bond of "Gentlemen's Friendship", and congratulations to the host for obtaining the stunt hero LV1
"I'll go!?" Chen Ziqian raised his eyebrows, brushed his favorability for a long time, and then came out of a fetter?
Wait, can you still help generals improve their attributes when they reach bonds?
Then there should be more than one layer of bonds, can it continue to improve in the future?
Chen Ziqian thought for a while and said: "The vanguard of the rebels is not difficult to deal with, I am afraid that I will make a comeback later, after all, it is related to the safety of the left wing of the county, such an important strategic position, the rebels will definitely not give up easily, and the rebels are divided into many ways, and several other counties may not be able to resist. ”
"Why do you need to worry too much, Gong Changshi said before that Zhilin only needs to hold on for ten days, and the Taishou side can repel the main force of the rebels, and even if several other rebels come together, the Taishou side will inevitably send troops to help." Lin Xiaodao broadened his awareness of the overall situation, and his mind was still very clear.
But Chen Ziqian is not so simple: "If you can win over there, you can naturally ensure that you are safe here, but what if you are too guarded?" ”
"This ......"
