Chapter 95: The Closing Moment
The person who got in the way was gone, which was actually a very good result for the two of them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Kong Rong is a pure literati, he doesn't know anything about the art of war, maybe I've read a few books, but at most it's the level of IQ talking.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was hanging up and Gongsun Zhan also retreated, Kong Rong, the Qingzhou pastor, was obviously the existence with the highest status. If he commands indiscriminately, he doesn't know how far the army will be lost. It's good now, he's gone.
The only problem is that this mess is for him Lu Bu and Wen Chou to bear it.
"Before his death, Yuan Shao advocated attacking Linhu County and Xiang'an County in order to lure out the main force of the enemy army in Shu County for ambush. Now that he is one step ahead, what does General Wen think we should do? After Lu Bu finished assembling the army, he asked Wen Chou.
The latter currently replaced Yuan Shao as the supreme commander of the Eighth School of the West Garden, and the whole army has nearly 15,000 men. Not to mention the Great Yellow Crossbow Army, which is currently under the command of others, this is the only weapon that can restrain the enemy's strong bow.
"The enemy's equipment is strong, why don't we camp on the spot, and at the same time write a song to return to Luoyang, and ask for more big yellow crossbows to be mobilized for support, how about it?" Wen Chou is not stupid, the enemy's strong bow is so powerful, I am afraid that if I continue to fight, I will be very passive. Rather than being beaten passively, it is better to make up for the gap between the two sides a little first.
"Good!" Lu Bu nodded, obviously very much in favor of this proposal.
The wolf cavalry of Bingzhou fights with the Hu people all the year round, even if the other party is also good at riding and shooting, but riding and archery are separated. In the end, there were no stirrups, and the Hu people often urged the horses to the front of the formation and stopped before shooting, which gave them time to react.
In addition, the Han Dynasty blocked the trade with the Hu people for a long time, so that the material of the bows and arrows in the hands of the Hu people was not as good as the Han bow, not to mention that the arrows were sometimes not necessarily iron, and bone or stone arrows often appeared in the Hu people.
Therefore, the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou does not need too high-level armament, a spear and a small shield are enough, and the officers can also have iron armor in terms of armor, and ordinary soldiers have a leather armor is actually very good, which is also a common practice of the Han Dynasty, after all, the financial income is not high.
The famous Bingzhou wolf cavalry came to the south to fight, which was already a bit unsuitable, and at the same time, the enemy's shooting range was so far away that there was almost no room for counterattack except for the big yellow crossbow. The Bingzhou wolf cavalry was originally a cavalry unit for charging, and it was not practical to temporarily learn to shoot a bow and arrows, and it was obviously too stupid to use it to deal with Li Yu's strong bow.
Wen Chou didn't know this, and the equipment of the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan was not much better, at most slightly higher than that of Lu Bujun. If you really want to calculate it, at most, it is a low-level officer below, who can be equipped with inlaid iron armor. In addition, with the improvement of iron-smelting technology, the sturdiness and sharpness of weapons have also improved, and that's it.
No matter how powerful the weapon is, it won't help if it can't cut people. The enemy is constantly firing in the form of a ranger, shooting when attacking, shooting when moving, and shooting when retreating, and in this constant firing consumes their vital forces, but they have no way to do this tactic.
Yes, the scout troops and assault troops are playing the Mongol Mangu cavalry tactics. The difference is that the tactics of the scouts are completely imitated by the Mangus, while the assault cavalry is only slightly imitated, after all, they are also responsible for charging and fighting.
The difference in horses naturally makes the tactics used by the two units slightly different. But then again, if the tactics of both armies were the same, then there would be no need for the assault cavalry unit to exist, and it would be subsumed under the scout force.
After making up their minds, Lu Bu and Wen Chou simply set up camp in Bandao directly, and at the same time wrote a note, asking for more rhubarb crossbows from the Luoyang side to support.
They didn't know that all this was in the plan of the staff force, not only the personalities and habits of several enemy generals were specially investigated, but even if they would react after Yuan Shao was killed, they had probably determined three or four plans for backup.
The so-called strategy is actually calculation. Count all the reactions of the two armies into battle, and then try to stay one step ahead of each other. Whichever side is the first to be counted is incalculable, then the latter can catch up with one step, and the result is the victory of the latter.
For example, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and Xun You are good at calculation, and their styles are a little different, but they are almost the same in essence. However, in the end, the ancient staff policy still relied on one or several military discussions, and the military advisors of this era still had too little knowledge beyond Tao Strategy.
At this moment, at the staff headquarters in Shu County, the reactions of the enemy troops were naturally summarized through the scouts. Seeing that the other party did not continue to advance, but set up camp, and sent three teams to advance in the northwest direction at the same time, Xi Zhicai knew that the other party had completely sunk step by step according to their design.
"No wonder the Führer said that he would despise the other side strategically, and I really don't know how they became famous generals with this strategy?" Inside the headquarters, Han Leng looked at this result and smiled proudly.
The terracotta policy was formulated by Li Ru, but the later night sneak attacks and ambushes, and even the special operations plan were the result of his proposal. Watching the enemy step by step into the trap he had set, this descendant of Han Shin couldn't help but feel proud.
"It has nothing to do with their level of strategy!" Xi Zhicai reminded on the side, "This is just a purely tactical crush." We are far superior to them in terms of the quality of the soldiers and the armament, and if we can't achieve the effect of crushing them in this way, it is a bit too much to say. ”
Han Leng actually joined the staff earlier than him, but his strategy was relatively simple, that is, he specially set up a trap and waited for others to drill it. It is not denied that these plans are very good, but the chief of staff wants to control the overall situation, but he cannot focus on this. Therefore, unless Han Leng can go further in his knowledge, if he wants to be promoted, he is afraid that it will not be so easy.
At the same time, this is also the main reason why he can serve as chief of staff.
"Isn't it a little bit of a sass!" Han Leng said a little embarrassed, in the end, he is a person who can serve as a staff officer of the General Staff, although the power of not leading a commander is not high, but how many local staff officers want to join the General Staff, they are not qualified!
"Well, the Führer also said that the war must not be careless until the dust settles! It's too early to be happy, the reaction of Yuan Shu's side, Sun Jian, and Liu Bian's side must also be taken into account! It's true that it's not our area of responsibility, but if their attack is too hard, I can't say that our side will be pinned down! Xi Zhicai didn't plan to pursue anything, but just signaled everyone not to be happy too early.
"Whoa!" The staff officers responded quickly and were immediately on the job.
There are three members of the topographic department, who are responsible for topographic survey and provide useful information for reference; Two members from the Astronomical Division, studying the impact of recent weather changes on the war; There are five people in the personality analysis department, who analyze the personality and past war habits of enemy generals, which will be summarized through spies and intelligence officers, who will analyze and provide reference materials;
These departments are the third-tier departments of the General Staff, and are mainly responsible for providing information to the departments above the second floor for reference. Problems with the information they provide can also lead to the defeat of a war, although it seems that the responsibility is low, but the responsibility is the most important!
The second-level department is mainly responsible for analyzing the enemy's next direction based on these data, and at the same time how to guide the battle situation to their advantage, avoid the enemy's calculations, and even use the enemy's possible calculations to calculate the enemy. There are ten staff officers in the second-floor department, which are specifically responsible for this kind of thing. For each war, they have to work out at least a dozen backup plans.
On this basis, it is also necessary to formulate an emergency preparedness plan to deal with the emergency response strategy.
Finally, the strategy was summarized in the hands of the three deputy chiefs of staff, and the final discussion and screening were carried out and handed over to the hands of Xi Zhicai. Then it will be checked and repaired, and handed over to the chief general after completion.
These tasks were carried out from the beginning of the war, so they seemed complicated, but they were formulated before the war, which relieved a lot of pressure on the follow-up work. Compared with modern high-precision strategies, they don't even need to think about too many esoteric strategies, and only need to prepare about three plans for backup according to the conventional situation, which is basically enough.
Any strategy can be formulated in two hours at the latest. The staff officers on the three floors, who seemed to be the busiest, were a little more idle after providing information, until more information was needed.
Through the promotion system, those who rise from the bottom will basically master the knowledge of astronomy, geography, and personality analysis. With the passage of time, when the third-tier staff officer became the chief of staff, his knowledge was already very comprehensive and he was fully qualified for the position of chief of staff. It is through this method that the General Staff Department trains qualified chiefs of staff.
Han Leng is one of the key talents to be trained, but he joined the staff halfway, not from scratch. He has the technique of arranging traps according to the available information, but he is slightly weak in astronomy and geography and character analysis, but his control of people's hearts is still very good.
It's just that I don't understand astronomy and geography, and it is inevitable that after becoming the chief of the general staff in the future, I will be a little passive in this regard. Therefore, Xi Zhicai also kindly reminded him, hoping that he could improve and improve, instead of going further and further on the road of setting up.
"General, the enemy has set up camp according to the predetermined plan, and your chance to show has arrived!" After sorting out the information, Xi Zhicai came to Li Wen's tent and reported to him.
"Haha, finally don't have to be bored here! By the way, then Lu Bu is really that powerful? Li Wen rubbed his hands, as a military general, it was too painful to stay in one place to dominate the overall situation!
"It is said that he is the strongest military general in the Han Republic, but the general is the pillar of our country, and it is not good if there is nothing else. As the commander of the whole army, the general must not take risks! Xi Zhicai said helplessly.
In fact, there is one thing that needs to be analyzed at the third level of the General Staff, that is, the personality and tactical habits of the generals of their own army, but this is within the scope of secrecy. The matter that Li Wenhui wants to fight with Lu Bu is also in the possibility of reporting below.
But now it seems that this guy would do what he did...... (To be continued.) )
