Chapter 41: My goal is to capture Yuan Chonghuan
Jiang Chuan welcomed Liu Ji into the conference hall, and the two sat down at the long conference table that Jiang Chuan specially ordered in the conference hall.
Jiang Chuan sat at the top of the head, and Liu Ji sat on the first seat on the right next to him.
"Strategist, look at this." After taking his seat, Jiang Chuan handed the secret report sent by Bai Jinxiu to Liu Ji.
After Liu Ji took it, his face with a smile just now instantly became serious. This shows that he has entered the working state.
Soon, the three generals of Ran Wu, Shanjia, and Baishan also arrived, and the three of them sat on the left side of Jiang Chuan.
Qi Xuan sat in a seat at the end of the conference table, with a pile of paper in front of her, holding a goose feather pen in her hand, ready to take minutes of the meeting.
"Now that we have received accurate information, Yuan Chonghuan is going to send troops to attack us. According to estimates, the number of troops should be around fifty thousand. And this time it was Yuan Chonghuan who followed the troops to his two henchmen, Cao Bianjiao and Hong Chengchou. The time of dispatch is estimated to be within these two days. Therefore, I brought everyone here to discuss how to fight this battle with the Ming army and to what extent. ”
Jiang Chuan's fingers tapped on the table, and he went straight to the point.
"Lord, if we want to fight, we have two ways to play: one is to defend the city, take advantage of our fortress, and constantly consume the strength of the Ming army. When their blood is almost gone, let's go out of the city and assault again, and ensure that we can defeat them in one fell swoop. ”
Liu Ji expressed his opinion first.
Jiang Chuan nodded, noncommittal, and motioned for Liu Ji to continue.
In Jiang Jiajun, Jiang Chuan advocated speaking freely, and he would not express his summary opinions until the end, and the final word would be finalized.
"This second way of fighting is to put on a posture with the Ming army, fight a dignified battle, completely destroy their courage on the battlefield, so that they will never dare to have the courage to invade our army in the future. However, if there is a field battle, our army will be slightly insufficient, and the difference in strength will cancel out part of our army's advantage. ”
Liu Ji continued.
"Strategist, the last general thinks there is a third way to play." Shanjia suddenly excused.
The crowd looked at the mountain armor.
"Even if the Ming army of 50,000 is coming, it will definitely be divided into the front army, the middle army, and the rear army, so as to avoid the danger of being completely surrounded and annihilated. Therefore, our army can take advantage of our army's large number of cavalry and fast horses, and constantly attack and harass the Ming army all the way, making it tired and demoralized all the way. I am afraid that before the decisive battle with our army, the morale will dissipate and show a trend of collapse. At that time, our army will be able to defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop. ”
The mountain armor talked eloquently.
"The last general also agreed with General Shanjia's style of play, the Ming army came from afar, and it was bound to carry grain and grass. Our army can give full play to the advantages of cavalry, constantly attack and harass, block at all levels, and even take the opportunity to burn the grain and grass of the Ming army, so that the Ming army can be defeated without a fight. ”
Bai Shan also agreed.
Jiang Chuan nodded, and then turned his gaze to Ran Wu, who had not yet spoken.
Ran Wu knew that the lord was willing to speak, so he opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "The last general thinks that it is possible to combine the fighting style of the military division and the two generals. Although the strength of our army is slightly smaller than that of the Ming army, its combat strength should be only high, not low. Although the Ming army has a large number of troops, we can form superior forces in the local battlefield, block the main force of the delayed Ming army with a force, and then gather superior forces to devour the front army of the Ming army with a devastating momentum, and then turn around to deal with the main force of the Ming army. As a result, the situation of the forces of the two sides has changed, the morale of our army is even higher, and the morale of the Ming army will fall sharply because of the annihilation of the previous army, and our army will win this battle. ”
After hearing this, Liu Ji couldn't help but sigh: "The three generals all advocated taking the initiative to attack, and they were all iron-blooded generals with great courage. It's too conservative to think about decay. ”
Jiang Chuan said with a smile: "The military advisor should not be humble, what the military advisor said is an old man, not a conservative one." ”
Liu Ji knew that Jiang Chuan was giving himself a step, so he shook his head with a wry smile.
When everyone finished speaking, Jiang Chuan found that everyone's faces were calm, and they didn't take the 50,000 Ming Army seriously, and he was very relieved.
Ran Wu and the three of them won't talk about it, these three just said that they would take the three of them to Datonglang for a circle, and the three of them would not frown.
However, Liu Ji, from the beginning of his fear of the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, can now be viewed with a normal heart, and even has begun to feel that the Ming army and the Qing army are no longer the opponents of the Jiang army.
This is the self-confidence that comes from constantly winning battles, and subtly changing everyone around Jiang Chuan.
As long as it can continue to win, even if the future Jiang Jiajun is an armed group composed of base soldiers and ordinary soldiers, it will become an invincible and invincible army of tigers and wolves, a mighty army, and a victorious army, because this has become an army with the belief of victory.
Every soldier in this army will have a strong belief that all the armies in the world are scum in the future, and only our Jiang family army is worthy of dominating the world.
An army of faith is a truly terrible army. Faith is like a seed, which will sprout and grow in the hearts of every soldier who joins the Jiang family's army, and with continuous victories, it will eventually grow into a towering tree, so that every soldier will become a real warrior who is fearless, courageous, and unswerving.
Retracting his thoughts, Jiang Chuan's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he spoke: "The fighting style of the military advisor and the three generals is very insightful. But none of them are in line with my strategic purpose this time. ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Jiang Chuan and waited for his next words.
"This time, the 50,000 Ming army attacked, and I know that everyone believes that we can defeat the Ming army. This is no surprise. It's just that the result I want is more brilliant and fruitful than this, and the goal of defeating the Ming army alone is too small to satisfy my appetite. ”
Everyone was appetized by Jiang Chuan's words, and one by one their eyes were burning and waiting for him to come down.
Liu Ji also faintly guessed some of Jiang Chuan's thoughts in his heart, and he was even more surprised and shocked in his heart, waiting with bated breath for Jiang Chuan to say his true purpose.
"It is not difficult to defeat the Ming army, but what I want is not only to defeat the Ming army, but also to surround the Ming army, and it is best to capture Yuan Chonghuan and his two generals, so that Yuan Chonghuan and all the Ming army will tremble when they hear the name of my Jiang family army in the future, and the color will change when they hear it, and they will be defeated before fighting.
Let everyone in the world know from now on that our Jiang Jiajun cannot be insulted, and anyone who dares to offend and infringe on the majesty of our Jiang Jiajun will suffer the biggest nightmare of his life and pay a huge price. That's what I'm for. ”
Jiang Chuan's voice was not passionate and high-pitched, but every word hit the hearts of everyone present, making the blood on their bodies begin to heat up and boil, looking at the young and heroic lord in front of him, his eyes were blazing.
Even Qi Xuan, who was making records, was fascinated, looking at Jiang Chuan with blazing eyes, feeling that this man seemed to be glowing all over his body, making people unable to take their eyes off it.
Jiang Chuan saw the blazing eyes of everyone, and knew that everyone had been fully mobilized by his own words, and he was very satisfied, so he continued: "What I said just now is a strategic goal, and to put it back at the moment, the tactical goal of our battle with the Ming army this time is to encircle the Ming army, capture Yuan Chonghuan, and nothing else. ”
