Chapter 291: Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible
Yao Pingzhong was beside Lin Chong, and as soon as he took it and saw the first one, his face changed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old man said slowly, "Xiyan, read it out and listen to everyone." ”
Yao Gu saw that his nephew's face was not good, and he was also a little anxious, and he wanted to know what was going on here, so he said, "The old minister asked you to read it, don't hurry up!" ”
"As of that day, there were more than 15,000 defenders in Dongkuo City, 30 large and small catapults, 58 ballistas, and more than 30 fortresses along the street. Outside the city, there are 20,000 cavalry in the west camp and 20,000 cavalry in the north camp, and 3,000 cavalry troops in the north camp outside the city. ”
"As of that day, the three-way army of the party and clan armies has completed the assembly, each army is not less than 5,000 cavalry, and it can reach Dongkuo within three days. Another 30,000 foot soldiers can travel day and night, and they can arrive in ten days. ”
"As of that day, the eleven cities of the Xia Realm have requisitioned Minzhuang to replace the reinforcements of Dongkuo's troops. Among them, Youcheng in the north gathered more than 10,000 troops, and more than 30% of the cavalry, or had a plan. ”
"As of that day, the 1,500 iron harriers from the direction of Yanzhou have been placed under the control of Wei Minglan, because of the flow of their camp, there is no relevant news."
Every time Yao Pingzhong finished reading a piece of information, everyone was shocked. In this way, the total strength of the party on the eastern border is not 60,000, but 100,000, and it is still increasing one after another, and it is finally about to start a full-scale fight.
In particular, Youcheng actually gathered 10,000 troops, obviously with the intention of cutting off the supply of the Song army from behind, if this is really the case, I am afraid that it will suffer the tragic defeat of Dongkuo again.
When everyone slowly recalled, they found that how could Lin Chong hold this kind of detailed information in his hands?
"I have sent scouts to each of their cities, and these defender materials and the map of the city's defense have been completed. Now do you think the previous two plans need to be adjusted? ”
Tong Guan took the opportunity to come out and stir up trouble, "Lord Lin is really proficient in the art of war, and he knows himself and his opponent, and he will not be defeated in a hundred battles!" Since the military situation is in full swing, everyone is still discussing how to deal with it. ”
Zhi Yanzhi and Yao Gu were in a cold sweat, fortunately Lin Chong had the information, otherwise no matter which plan was followed, the result would not be good. If you come according to your own ideas, you will definitely have to bear the responsibility, Liu Yanqing Yin Jian is not far away, so dangerous!
Since the enemy situation was in hand, for Lin Chong, the art of war and tactics were naturally formed in his heart.
There is only one strategy to defeat Wei Minglan. "Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang!"
When Tong Guan heard that there was a way, he hurriedly asked, "What are the details?" ”
Lin Chong said, "The soldiers are divided into three routes, and the brigade of foot soldiers goes to besiege Dongkuo, only besiege but not attack, and put on a posture of encircling the point to send reinforcements." ”
Yao Gu asked, "And then?" ”
"The main force of the cavalry is trying to force back reinforcements from all sides, to make the momentum bigger, to confuse Wei Minglan, and if necessary, to pursue a number of remnants of the opponent's enemy. Only one elite is left, and when Wei Minglan is completely assured that the whole army will attack our besieging army, he will capture Dongkuo City, so that the three armies will be encircled, and Wei Minglan will be dead! ”
Lin Chong adopted a series of tactics to show the enemy weakness, so that Wei Minglan had a large number of cavalry, and he would definitely take the risk to try, just like he did with Liu Yanqing, he would not let go of any opportunity to slaughter the Song army.
Tong Guan is in the position of privy councilor, and naturally he can also know about the military affairs, this decisive battle strategy is exactly the same, it is quite complete, look at the old species and the general, there is no intention of opposition, so he took it.
"Lord Lin is really far-sighted and powerful! Now that the strategy has been decided, it is difficult for you to implement the deployment as soon as possible. ”
Lin Chong deliberately responded boldly, "Don't worry, Xuan Shuai, there will be no problem this time!" Laborious Xuan Shuai prepared at least 80,000 troops, of which 60,000 besieged the city, 15,000 blocked the enemy and annihilated the enemy, and the remaining 5,000 elites, if necessary, hit with one blow, so as to lay the foundation of complete victory. ”
Such a calculation means that everyone is going to be out of the way. The scene was re-touched, Tong Guan had 20,000 forbidden troops in his hands, 20,000 in the seed master, 15,000 Liu Fa, 5,000 Yao Gu, 3,000 Zheyan, and a total of 10,000 troops in other generals.
Lin Chong accepted 1,500 insteps, and now the total number of troops was 4,500, ranking fifth. But Tong Guan mentioned him before Yao Gu, because Yao Gu had 30% of his empty salary, in fact, his actual strength was less than 4,000.
And Lin Chong also had 1,500 auxiliaries, with a total strength of 6,000, including 4,000 cavalry, and his combat strength was more than twice that of the Yao family.
There is no problem with the operational idea proposed this time, whether the siege is done well or not, at least it does not seem to be the minimum, then divide the heads of the three troops.
Therefore, Liu Fa was the main general, plus Tong Guan, Zhe Yanzhi and a number of other small and medium-sized generals besieged Dongkuo. Seed Master Dao took the Yao family to ambush reinforcements from all walks of life, and Lin Chong led the headquarters, as an elite, waiting for Wei Minglan to take the bait and leave the city, and then try to take Dongkuo City.
Tong Guan and several bigwigs of the Western Army recognized this specific arrangement, so the rest was to reorganize the armed forces. To assemble the whole army, and then move to Dongkuo City, it will take four days at the earliest.
After the meeting ended, Tong Guan received the list of military exploits handed over by the old man, and the first one was written with Han Shizhong's name, although he was reluctant, but the situation was stronger than people, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.
Lin Chong, Lao Chong, Yang Keshi, Yao Gu, and Yao Pingzhong left Changxing City, returned to Lao Chong's military camp, and reunited to discuss the details carefully.
In the end, Yao Gu was willing to obey the command of the old man, but he was the only one, but he hoped that when Lin Chong captured the city, he would take Yao Pingzhong with him.
Yao Pingzhong was suppressed by Tong Guan like Han Shizhong, and today he saw Tong Guan signing and stamping on the military merit list, so he naturally had hot eyes, and in order to protect his nephew, Yao Gu surrendered to the old seed.
Lin Chong and Yao Pingzhong usually have a good chat, not to mention that Yao Pingzhong is not the kind of showman, so he readily agreed.
Yao's uncle and nephew were naturally overjoyed, and Yao Pingzhong even claimed that he must be the first to rush into Dongkuo with the death squad. Let this military merit live up to its name.
The two families joined forces, and it was easier to fight against Tong Guan and the other generals, and the Liu family had disappeared, and the old Chong's influence on the Western Army was more confident.
And over there, Tong Guan was pouring Liu Fa with a fan ~ soul ~ soup, claiming that as long as he could take Dongkuo, he would keep it for him to expand his army by 10,000.
Liu Fa was a famous general of the Western Army, but he did not have the courage to refuse under the power, so the command of the entire besieging army fell back into the hands of Tong Guan without the knowledge of outsiders.
For three days, all units seized the time to rest and recuperate, replenish supplies, and prepare for a decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of people against the enemy troops on the border.
The five hundred elites brought by Yao Pingzhong, Lin Chong prepared them with quick theoretical guidance and observation, teaching and learning.
In three days, these elites cried and shouted one by one, and they were in pain. And three days later, they finally found that their willpower had been greatly enhanced, and they could actually adapt to the basic training intensity of the Wild Wolf Army.
On the fourth day, it was raining, but the knives of the 80,000 Song soldiers had been unsheathed, and the arrows had been wound, just waiting for Lin Chong's order.
