In the face of a strong enemy, the counterattack is not defended
After the palace dinner, Liu Yi immediately discussed the military situation with King Aland, fortunately, with the Ganges River as a block, it was very difficult for the Roman legions to make a detour, and it was also very difficult for the Roman legions to make a detour, and it had a lot to do with it, and now there is the Flying Tiger Sailor of the Han Army, and the control of this big river is self-evident. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 With this barrier, Liu Xin also has a little more confidence in defeating the Roman legions, but the premise is that they must work together.
Liu Xin did not hide his thoughts from Alander, the overall strategy of the coalition army is to rely on Qili City and the Ganges River, and gradually gather the strategic reserve forces of the Yinyue territory in the east of the river, and the front is mainly to use the Han army as a surprise force to strive to win a few battles to consume the strength of the Roman army, and then counterattack when the opportunity arises, but the cooperation between the two armies must be tacit, and the command is best to be the same.
Aland was very moved by King Lu's honesty, and after Liu Xin's analysis, he did see the dawn of victory over the Roman legions, so he accepted King Lu's proposal in full and gave Liu Xin a scepter symbolizing the military power of the Silver Moon Empire to Liu Xin, so that he could use it to command the Silver Moon Legion. King Lu insisted on not accepting it at first, but later saw that Aland was indeed sincere, so he took the scepter.
That night, King Aland wanted to stay in the city for the night, Liu Xin was resigned, he also had to go out of the city to discuss the details of the next military situation with the generals, don't forget that he also has a Roman general Suhas in his hands, and there is no shortage of interrogation masters in the Flying Tiger Army, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, confidant Liu Xin has been able to do it after getting the cooperation of Aland, and the matter of knowing the other will fall on Suhas.
After Liu Xin returned to the camp, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng and other ministers and generals were waiting in the camp, King Lu had already asked Aland for the most detailed map of the Silver Moon Empire to send back to the camp before the palace night banquet, accompanied by more than a dozen Silver Moon soldiers who were familiar with the terrain and weather, with the wisdom of Zhou Yu Pang Tong and the assistance of the Heavenly Wolf, and the collective efforts of the generals, Liu Xin believed that there would be a perfect overall strategy. At the moment, there is no room for slackness in the big war, and the Han army must complete the adaptation in the shortest possible time.
"Everyone, this is the Silver Moon delicacy in Qili City, it tastes quite good, let's try it later. These two are the friendly generals, General Leonard and General Landson. As soon as he entered the tent, Liu Xin waved his hand to stop everyone from saluting, but behind me, my eighteen horsemen were carrying food boxes, and Leonard and Landson were also following King Lu, as the two most warlike generals of the Silver Moon Empire, they must not be absent from tonight's military meeting, and as for the food, Liu Xin will not forget it.
As soon as King Lu introduced the Han generals, they also treated Leonard Landerson and the others politely, and they were very happy when they saw each other, and then the eyes of the two generals were immediately attracted by the large sand table in the middle of the tent. It is not for nothing that the two of them can become the two famous generals of the Silver Moon Empire, and losing to Rome is also a huge gap in strength. Those domestic strategic terrain duo knew in their hearts that the sand table placed in the Han army's tent at this time was not only surprising in workmanship, but also not bad in terms of terrain configuration.
"The two generals just take a look at what's wrong with the sand table here." Pang Tongyi saw the spirit, and immediately came to the two of them and smiled, and then a group of wolf staff officers also came over with tools, the sand table was their masterpiece, according to the map sent by King Lu, it can be said that the Han army has begun professional operations in all aspects of military details, and the wolf people have also received strict training.
At that time, Liu Yi set up this staff organization and named it "Sky Wolf", one is to miss the wolves of Yushan, and the other is to imitate the most powerful German staff in World War II, at the beginning Jia Xu is the supreme leader of the Sky Wolf, in recent years, Wen He has grown old and his energy has declined, so he took the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian, and the position of prime minister recommended the young Zhuge Liang, and the wolf was handed over to Pang Tong. Jia Xu's high style and brightness are praised and appreciated, and his vision is also extremely accurate, Kong Ming is an all-rounder similar to Zhang Hu, and it is appropriate to assume the position of prime minister, while Feng Xiao's military talent is extremely amazing, I am afraid that only Guo Jia can be with one of them.
"Lord Wang, this map is really well done, there are almost no mistakes, but this mountain and the two roads over there need to be slightly adjusted." After the two looked at it carefully for a while, they first nodded to Pang Tong, and then said to Liu Xinyan, even if there is a difference, but being able to do this is enough to surprise and praise the two.
"Oh, the two generals tell me how to change it." Listening to the interpreter's words, Pang Tong also immediately asked, the staff officer of the wolf next to him also made adjustments according to the instructions of the second general, the requirements of the wolf have always been perfect, and in the preparation before the battle, it is necessary to be prepared for everything, the general outline of the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy is the beginning of the case, and any slight deviation in the details may determine the outcome of a battle.
When the Sky Wolf staff officer perfected the sand table according to the requirements of Leonard and Landson, Liu Xin and everyone surrounded him, and after glancing at the sand table, King Lu first said: "Hundreds of miles near this Qili are mainly plains, which is extremely conducive to cavalry and large corps battles, and these two places are the advantages of the Roman legions, and it is no wonder that the Silver Moon soldiers are invincible with being outnumbered." After speaking, King Lu didn't forget to smile at the two.
Seeing this, Leonard Landerson of course knew that Liu Xin didn't want them to be embarrassed on a case-by-case basis, and he nodded again and again, the terrain of the Silver Moon Empire was indeed easy to attack and difficult to defend in terms of the art of war, if it weren't for the Ganges, the Roman army lacked the strength of water warfare, and it would be difficult for them to support it.
"General Yang, it's time for you to talk about the enemy's troop allocation." Liu Xin bowed his head slightly and said to a middle-aged general beside him, this person's name is Yang Tao, the deputy marshal of the Flying Tiger Army, and he is the old man next to Gan Ning, and the interrogation of Suhas was carried out by him, and when the second general Leonard Landerson focused on the sand table, he also made a detailed report to Liu Xin, then the Roman general was not difficult for him to interrogate, but he was somewhat cooperative, and it seemed that he should be dissatisfied with Avamenon and Landu Ayyas.
"Lord, ladies and gentlemen, according to Suhas, the Roman expeditionary corps has a total of more than 270,000 people, divided into five legions, in addition to the three major legions of Suhas, Avamenon and Landuayas, there are also two main forces led by Tiggs and the commander Alansus, the full strength of each legion is 50,000, including 20,000 cavalry, 20,000 light infantry, 10,000 heavy infantry, and the commander's corps has an additional 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 heavy steps, and they have been carrying more than 100,000 men and horses from various countries for many years." Yang Tao picked up the bamboo pole and said that he couldn't do these things more than ten years ago, but after the training of the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy, he was familiar with it.
During the ten years of the unification of the Han Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Emperor Liu Yi in addition to devoting his main energy to the development of production, the study of military theory has never stopped, and now in the Han army, a lieutenant has to master all kinds of knowledge far better than the late Han Dynasty Lang General or a higher level of generals, the Son of Heaven is very determined, can not do it to the capable on the top, there is absolutely no mercy to talk about here.
"Lord, if everything Suhas's said is true, the enemy's strength is as high as more than 400,000, and the strength that can be used for Yinyue will not be less than 300,000, and our army's victory today to annihilate more than 10,000 enemies is nothing, I am afraid that it will be difficult to change this ratio of strength within two months, and the situation of outnumbering is already a certainty." Pang Tong continued, according to the news received before, the main force of the expeditionary force led by Xu Huang will not arrive in the Kushan Empire until one month at the earliest, and in terms of military affairs, Pang Tong must make an estimate of the worst conditions.
Leonard and Landerson couldn't help but look dark when they heard this, and looked at the Han army around them with some concern, but on their faces, they only saw excitement, and even the few scribes were dressed in ordinary clothes, as if no one was afraid of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Rome, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
"The commander's corps of Aransus is stationed in Tia, which is more than nine hundred miles away, and Tiges is more than five hundred miles closer to Lansa, and the rest is the two major armies of Avamenon and Landu Ayas and the defeated army of Suhas, plus some subsidiary troops, the strength should be around 200,000, and the Zhou Shuai Pang army division has already sent scouts to follow, and they did withdraw fifty miles according to the agreement and camp here." At this time, Yang Tao continued to speak, and the bamboo pole was constantly clicking on the sand table, and everything was orderly.
"The enemy army is 400,000, and our army is currently only more than 20,000 people, and Zhou Shuai must not lose if he wants to control the Ganges, and he can use it on the frontal battlefield but I am around 10,000 or so, hehe, it is indeed the enemy and I am outnumbered, two generals, please introduce the troops that can be mobilized in and around Qili City of the Silver Moon Empire in a short period of time." Liu Xin only spoke at this time, and when he mentioned the enemy, he also had a fighting spirit in his words, and then asked about the second general of Yinyue.
"Lord Wang, everyone, my Silver Moon Legion still has 15,000 cavalry troops and 30,000 infantry troops in Qili City, and the troops that can be gathered in a month east of the Ganges River should be about 50,000, in addition to the 10,000 soldiers who must defend the city, there are 35,000 soldiers who can be used for battle." Leonard spoke quickly.
"Thirty-five thousand, plus our army of 15,000 is 50,000, the enemy army is 200,000, if they are defeated today, if they ask for reinforcements, the difference in strength is too large, it is not good for our army, Lord Wang, in the right view, we should take the initiative to find an opportunity to attack, so as to continue to weaken it, and also boost the morale of the army and people of Yinyue." At this time, the blue-robed man beside Pang Tong spoke after thinking for a while, and his tone was extremely firm.
Leonard Landerson couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, and looked at the man in surprise, only to see that this person was about forty years old, with a thin face and a dignified appearance, and he was not dressed as a military general, but this proposal was extremely bold.
"Take the initiative to weaken the enemy? What does Zhou Shuai think? Liu Xin asked with a smile when he heard this.
"Filial piety is good!" Zhou Yu and Pang Tong looked at each other, but they spoke in unison.
