Chapter 59: Sweeping Trends
Now for the summary! I know that the first time you face the attack of the catapult, you will inevitably be a little caught off guard! I won't hold anyone accountable this time, after all, Yang Huai has already died! What I'm asking is that everyone share what they've seen and heard, and then we'll talk about what to do with those damn catapults! Liu Ting summoned the generals of the two front-line armies, Yang Huai had no choice, as he said, Yang Huai was in the chaos and was killed by Zhang Liao.
It's a shame to say that this kind of post-war summary seems to be still a habit on Li Ming's side. After all, it is too common, and it is not hidden, so it is inevitable that it will be detected by someone with a heart. To be honest, many families are actually very disgusted with Li Ming's summary, just because the battlefield experience should be the secret of each family, so that they can stand out.
However, Li Ming took it out to contribute, so those generals from poor families would have needed a long period of battlefield experience to slowly sum it up, and even the children of the family could use these experiences in exchange for favors. This is good, the gap between the generals of the poor family and the generals of the family is rapidly narrowing, and in the end, you can only rely on real skills to come out.
At the beginning, the family did plan to persuade Liu Ting not to do this, but Liu Ting was also eager to seek talent. The key is that he didn't want too many children of the family to be involved in the army, so he also absorbed and used this habit of summarizing after the war.
The generals also had different opinions, and they said what they thought, and how to deal with this damn catapult. The most commonly used are nothing more than two means, the other party uses weapons of war, they also use, use catapults against catapults, but the problem is that the process is not good, so how about taking a step back and switching to a trebuchet?
The second method is to disperse to deal with it, as long as you scatter some, then the power of the opponent's catapult will be greatly reduced.
"If you want the children below to learn to disperse, I'm afraid you still need to train simply!" Sun Ce frowned and said.
"We don't have that much time, we learn in three days, can we? If it really doesn't work, you can only fill it with human life! Liu Ting thought about it, now it is getting hotter and hotter day by day, not to mention that in this tent now, everyone is wearing armor and discussing here, but the smell of sweat and heat swept over, which almost made him suffocate.
"My subordinates must do their best!" Sun Ce also felt sorry for the elites under his command, they were definitely not consumables. But in the general environment, as long as the conditions allow, then they may indeed become consumables.
Three days passed easily, not to mention whether the large army had completed training or not, several battle reports were placed in front of Liu Ting, which made him almost crazy. These war reports came from several places, and the key point was that these places bordered Li Ming's sphere of influence.
Nanjun sent an urgent report, Pang De, Zulang, Zhang He and Huang Zhongbu quickly went north to attack Jiangxia and Nanjun, Huang Zu was killed, and it was only a matter of time before Jiangxia County was completely lost; Sun Jian of Gangneung County was organizing men to defend and engaged the enemy for a day and a night, and he had not yet fallen, but the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and needed reinforcements.
Chen Guo sent an urgent military situation, Guan Yu's troops suddenly went north, and with the catapult bombarded the gate of Chen County, Chen Guo completely fell. The enemy army is resting, or it is possible to attack Chenliu County, or to attack Liang State, or it is possible to kill on the side of Yingchuan County.
Lu sent an urgent military situation, and the royal department suddenly went north, and had arrived at the city of Lu County, according to the time calculation, I am afraid that Lu State has also collapsed on the whole line. It is very likely that the enemy's next step will be to attack Renseongguo and Sanyo-gun.
Langxie County sent a message that the Taishi Ci Department suddenly launched an attack and had already captured Kaiyang City. It's just that due to the obstruction of Langxie Palace, he did not continue to go north, but quickly attacked Taishan County, perhaps now Feiguo County has fallen.
Everywhere asked for help, everywhere was in an emergency. All the intelligence is telling Liu Ting that Li Mingbing is divided into multiple routes and is launching a general attack!
"Li Ming, this is your true purpose! How many fronts have you been fighting on? You're showing off your money, aren't you? Liu Ting directly swept these battle reports to the ground, but his anger could not be reduced.
"Your Majesty!" Xun You came in a panic, "Yuan Shao has a new action over there!" They began to assemble at Baima, and depending on the situation, they planned to attack Yanzhou and Qingzhou in the south. Judging from the intelligence reported from the front, this time Yuan Shao summoned 500,000 troops to the south, and Kong Rong, the assassin of Qingzhou, had already written a letter asking for help! Yanzhou Thorn Shi Xunyu also wrote a letter asking for help! ”
"Huhuhu......" Liu Ting gasped for breath, he wasn't sure if he would be blown up if he didn't take a deep breath, of course he didn't know what the concept of air explosion was, anyway, he only felt chest tightness and suffocation.
One or two made an appointment to play in a group, right? Liu Ting only felt depressed, the most taboo thing in war is not to fight according to the season, and to divide too many troops to fight. As a result, Li Ming was good, and both of them were occupied. Not to mention the launch of a general attack on a hot day, the troops were divided into five or six ways to attack together.
If you just add Yuan Shao, you can still understand, but these five or six roads add up to more than 300,000 soldiers, maybe not much, but if the auxiliary soldiers are supplemented separately, it is estimated that there is no 1.5 million to solve the problem. The key point is that the amount of food consumed is astronomical. There is no need to fight, you only need to wait here for ten days and half a month, I am afraid that the Sixth Route Army will run out of food immediately.
"Li Ming is not stupid, he can still divide the army into six ways like this, could it be that he has something to rely on?" Liu Ting soon realized this.
"This ...... The subordinates are afraid that they will have to investigate further. Of course, Xun You couldn't know so much of the inside story.
"I don't blame you for this......" Liu Ting sighed, Li Ming's layout was completely foul in the eyes of many people, but he did it, and the effect of the key division of troops was also very good, and their headquarters army could not go to the rescue at all.
It is almost not difficult to guess that Li Ming has already discussed the division with Yuan Shao. Yanzhou and Qingzhou belonged to Yuan Shao, and Li Ming wanted the whole territory of Xuzhou and the whole territory of Jingzhou...... Of course, it also includes Yingchuan County, which originally belonged to Yuzhou.
"I see, this is to cut off the route of our army to the south!" Liu Ting quickly guessed Li Ming's intentions.
Without Nanyang and Nanjun, they could only enter the Kanto region by taking the Tiger Pass, or advance eastward through Shangyong, or still cross the Qinling Mountains and go down, the terrain of these routes is very complicated, not suitable for large-scale advance of the army, and it is easy to be ambushed.
Li Ming only needs to arrange some troops who are good at mountain warfare to guard here, and there is no need for more, 50,000 people can completely stop them in the mountains and forests. The key is that in the Qinling Mountains, there are still demon beasts and big demons!
"Your Majesty, don't be swayed by the commotion of the outside world! Our enemy, in fact, has always been ahead! Xun You saw that Liu Ting had the intention of going to rescue Nanjun, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.
"This ......" Liu Ting was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, the enemy is in front, why bother to go near and far!" ”
As long as Li Ming is killed, then everything can be wiped out, and this country is mine! may have been hit badly, but Liu Ting came to his senses and became a lot more decisive.
"Tell me to go down and launch a general attack tomorrow! Kill Li Ming at all costs! Liu Ting clenched his fists, "When necessary, I will personally go into battle!" ”
"Yes!" Xun You heard this, but he didn't persuade anything, maybe he knew that persuasion was ineffective, or maybe it was ......
