Qin Feng stood up, walked to the sand table in the middle of the study, and stared at the impregnable city in the sand table. "Ever since I started my army, I've never liked city battles, because it meant that countless soldiers would lose their lives in this kind of flesh-and-blood attack. If you conquer a fortified city and fight hard, it is basically the result of accumulation of flesh and blood. That's why I prefer to annihilate the enemy and the wilderness, destroy the enemy's living forces or use other methods to achieve the goal of surrendering the enemy without a fight. This is true for the Qin State, and the same is true for the Chu State strategy, which has been going on for several years. Conquer one city and one place, and no matter how many lives you have, you will fill it in. And human life is the most precious thing, and if you haven't experienced that kind of dead and alive past, you really can't experience that feeling. ”

Looking at Qin Feng's stunned expression and remembering the past events he had experienced, several people in the room couldn't help but sigh.

"It would naturally be best if the enemy could escape from the turtle shell, but Ma Yue's father and son had been in the city for so long, how could they let them out? Your tactical deception, how effective is it? Qin Feng turned around and looked at Chen Zhihua: "I transferred the Ruijin Battalion from Zhengyang, and the Shaoshan Battalion from Shayang, they were originally the support troops of the Wuling Theater, although various concealment measures have been taken, but the news that the army has left the garrison will not be hidden for long." If we're still stuck in the quagmire here, it's worth the loss. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is sure." Chen Zhihua's voice was firm. "In the past month, the reaction of the Qin army in the city has been very abnormal, the scouts and cavalry who are out of the city are becoming more and more frequent, it seems to be messy and goalless to disrupt the deployment of our army, but in fact it is quite regular, after the minister drew a map of their activity route, it was concluded that they were spying on a road to attack the base camp and logistics camp of our Chinese army. This fully shows that they want to fight us to the death. ”

He Weiping continued: "In the past month, we have attacked from all sides in accordance with General Chen's plan, and every time we attack the city, the intensity is above average, and we have forced more and more Thunder troops in Shangcheng, which also fully gives the opponent a hint that if we concentrate on attacking the city with all our strength at a certain point, then Yiyongdu City will definitely not be defended." The city of Yongdu is too large, and the defenders in the city cannot judge the focus of our army's attack, so they can only evenly distribute the defense, while the attacker who has the initiative can arbitrarily choose any attack point. We have done this very well. Second, it is precisely because our garrisons are distributed around Yongdu and are far away from each other, leaving a large amount of blank space in the middle, so that the enemy troops in the city can have the opportunity to cross our defense line and directly attack the base camp of the Chinese army. It's a fatal temptation, and even if I'm the main commander in the city, I'll fight to the death. No matter how tightly guarded the Chinese army is, I will definitely do it. ”

"The strength in Yongdu City is not weak, according to the minister's estimates, the Thunder Army that can fight is about 45,000 people, and these 45,000 people, all of them are armored cavalry, if it is applied properly, this is a very terrifying force. Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of young and strong soldiers in the city, the Qin army does still have the ability to fight. Chen Zhihua said: "Therefore, Chen feels that the Ma father and son will definitely work hard for this line of life." The reason why the minister asked His Majesty to mobilize reinforcements was actually because in order to confuse the enemy, the gap between our troops was widened, so as to give the opponent a chance. If they echo each other too closely, I'm afraid they really don't want to go out of the city. However, if the Qin army tries its best to attack our Chinese army directly, the strength of our Chinese army headquarters will be slightly weak, and the defense will be more than enough to destroy the enemy, as long as one or two more troops are added, they can all be left. ”

"Good!" Qin Feng applauded and smiled: "Since you are all so sure, then I have nothing else to say." The monk's Ruijin camp and Dazhu's Shaking Mountain Battalion are all old camps of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is equipment or combat effectiveness, there is no doubt that they are already on the way. In the next ten days, they will arrive at the designated location one after another, and wait for the net. ”

"Your Majesty, there are tens of thousands of horses in two battle camps, how can they run so far quietly?" The wild dog on the side asked puzzled.

"It's so easy!" Qin Feng laughed: "How did I get here?" ”

"Coming with the caravan!" Wild Dog Road.

"That's how they came." Qin Feng said with a smile: "They themselves have dressed up as large caravans, but the carriages they accompanied were not loaded with supplies and food, but their weapons. In the past six months, there has been an endless stream of caravans in the direction of Yongdu in the Ming Dynasty, and large caravans escorted by hundreds or thousands of people abound, but they are not very eye-catching. However, it is more difficult to hide the eyes and ears of people from where they were originally stationed. After all, the sudden disappearance of an army of thousands of men can be inquired from many aspects, but as long as the war on this side goes well, it doesn't matter. ”

"I have one more question." The wild dog scratched his head, and then asked: "General Chen also said before, the new general of Yongdu is very smart, even if Ma Yue's father and son are a little stupid, they can't be stupid, right?" They must know that whether it is our Chinese army or the logistics battalion, it must be the most heavily protected place, and attacking these two places may not necessarily be able to please them, and it is really nine deaths and one life, so why do they still come? If it were me, I would have directly concentrated all my forces and fought in one direction with all my strength, for example, they used all their strength to kill my wolf battalion, to tell the truth, then I would definitely not be able to bear it. The end result is definitely to be wiped out by them, and if they do it this way, what are we going to do? Our army garrisons are far away from each other, and it is difficult to respond to support them in a timely manner. ”

"Haha, the wild dog has finally grown." Qin Feng laughed, "It's not that guy who comes with a bare shirt and carries a big knife, it's good to think of this." ”

"Your Majesty, I have indeed grown." The wild dog straightened up without shame, and said proudly: "You made me the general of the Central Theater of Operations, and my daughter-in-law said that if the general is a completely reckless man, then how can he serve the public?" It is necessary to read more military books and learn more strategies in order to share the worries of His Majesty. Your Majesty also knows that I can't read a basket of words in Douda, and I can barely understand those documents in the army, so my daughter-in-law will read it to me sentence by sentence, and explain it to me little by little, can I not grow up? ”

A few people laughed again, the wild dog is a person with an upright temperament, in Chen Zhihua's usual words, he is a person who can cover his face with three hairs, annoys him or he doesn't like it, he immediately turns his face with you and gets mad, but as soon as this incident passes, he will be intimate with you like a brother, and he belongs to the kind of person who has a intestine to the end and writes everything on the door of his head.

"Zhihua, you explain this problem to the wild dog." Qin Feng couldn't help but smile and said: "The wild dog's daughter-in-law was born in a famous family, I only thought that she knew books and etiquette before, and I didn't expect that she was also proficient in the art of war, but I really underestimated her." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Zhihua said with a smile: "General Gan, the situation you mentioned, that does exist, our current army deployment, as you said, there is such a loophole, but the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, and it looks like a hole in other places, but in this Yongdu, it is not a loophole." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wild dogs are puzzled.

"General Gan, if we are attacking another city, then the enemy can indeed use your method to break out of the encirclement and escape, but now Yongdu is a special case." Chen Zhihua pointed to the city in the sand table, "The whole country of Qin has basically been taken by my Ming Dynasty, and all that remains is some extremely remote places plus this Yongdu City." The enemy has no way to escape, as the so-called heaven has no way, there is no way to enter the earth, they have no other way to go except to fight with us, of course, if they want to surrender, there is a way out, but obviously, the Ma father and son have no such plan. ”

Chen Zhihua nodded to the Ming army's defense points around Yongdu City, and said: "The Qin army has a basic judgment on the combat effectiveness of our army, they can indeed concentrate all their forces to destroy our army in a certain direction, but if they want to eat it completely, the price they need to pay is also very heavy." General Gan, if the opponent's 45,000 Thunder Army all attack your blue wolf battalion, how long can you hold out? ”

The wild dog frowned: "The Thunder Army is all cavalry, there are advantages and covers, if he does his best, of course I will not be really stupid enough to go to the field with them, I must be based on the battalion, try to reduce the advantage of their cavalry, and at the same time use my sharp ordnance to cause them a lot of casualties, if the opponent does not count the casualties, at the top of the day, I estimate that it is the limit of the blue wolf battalion." ”

"Without the Thunder Army pressing the formation, will the other defenders of Yongdu City be able to withstand the one-day attack of my armies from several other directions?" Chen Zhihua asked.

"It's a bit of a hang!" Wild Dog Road. "You mean the Thunder Army's rat trap? Afraid that we will simply abandon one direction and take the opportunity to take Yongdu City? ”

Chen Zhihua shook his head: "The enemy will not adopt this plan, because Yongdu is a lonely city, even if they defeat our army in a certain direction, it will not hurt the vitality of our Ming army here, but he will have to pay a huge price." Therefore, if he either does not fight, or if he wants to fight, he will definitely come straight to my Chinese army and logistics battalion, and only by destroying these two places can we be called victorious and force us to retreat. General Gan, if there is no logistics battalion, how many days can your wolf battalion itself last with grain and grass? ”

"It's only ten days."

"That's it, are you still here? Of course, the troops will be withdrawn. Chen Zhihua said.
