Chapter 61: The Art of War

Because Li Yao had slept during the day, he was not very sleepy at night, but Meizi didn't sleep, so he yawned after studying for two hours!

Li Yao has taught Meizi a few simple words in the past two hours, such as father, mother, plum, village chief, etc.

After all, writing on the table with your fingers is indeed very worn, and in these two hours, Meizi's fingers are red and swollen, Li Yao can't bear it, and says, "Meizi, go to sleep, I'll read a book here!" ”

Meizi couldn't sleep anymore, but she didn't want to sleep alone, so she lay on the table and watched Li Yao read.

Li Yao took out a copy from the package, and no matter what it was, he pretended to start reading it.

But as soon as Li Yao came into contact with the content inside, he was attracted.

It turned out that Li Yao was holding a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he opened it casually to open the text inside, some chapters in the second part of the battle, which read: "Those who make good use of soldiers will no longer be registered, and their food will not be for three years; It is used for the country, because the food is for the enemy, so the military food can be sufficient. ”

Li Yao must know the meaning of it, it is talking about people who are good at using soldiers, there is no need to recruit soldiers in the country, there is no need to transport grain and grass back and forth many times, weapons and equipment can be provided by the country, and it is best to seize grain and grass in the enemy country, so that the army's grain and grass will definitely be enough.

It seems that he wants to let the blind scouts explore the granaries of the three counties in the north more, and the first thing he wants to control is the granary, in case the enemy is defeated and burns the grain and grass, this thing, Li Yao knows how difficult it is, it turns out that when transporting grain from Dingbian County, it took more than a month to complete the transportation with the strength of the rich merchants in the county, this is still in the case of smooth roads, if he blows up the mountain and opens the road, it is not easy to ensure that his soldiers cross over, if he is transporting grain and grass, this is simply an impossible task.

It's just that fortunately, if the road between the three northern counties and Yiguo is blown up, it can at least stop Yiguo for three months, so Li Yao is not worried, his soldiers do not have enough time to assemble.

This time, Shen Hezhi was mainly transported with grenades and flying thunder canisters, and Li Yao was also preparing to use the firearms unit of the Yixian Army as the vanguard.

Grenades, flying thunder canisters, no one knows this thing, so it is very easy to pass the border pass, but swords and other items, it is difficult, the original five hundred sets of equipment for Su Feiteng, that is the thin monkey did his best to get in, five hundred sets are so difficult, more cold weapons are even more impossible.

Without enough cold weapons, Li Yao didn't plan to use cold weapons. This is also the reason why Li Yao wants to use the firearms unit as a vanguard.

Li Yao planned it this way, when the troops were assembled and the ammunition was sufficient, then he would start to fire the first cannon to capture Yiguo, and send a part of the people to blow up the road, and then scatter all the remaining firearms troops to the county seat. Then the firearms units that were lying in ambush in the city, the grenades that should be thrown grenades, and the cannons that should be fired, all threw them at the city walls and gates, and after a wave, the battle was almost over.

Solve the main combat power of a county, then Su Feicheng's bandit troops should also enter the city, firearms cannot be melee combat, even grenades must be thrown away. So delusional about conquering a county town with firearms, Li Yao didn't dare to think like this!

Because of the particularity of firearms, it is definitely not difficult to enter the city gate, so as long as there are firearms troops to respond, it can definitely break the defense quickly, and then the second target to be captured is the arsenal, Li Yao's firearms troops, everyone must be equipped with cold weapons, otherwise there will be no self-protection ability in close combat!

The firearms force was full of 8,000 people, plus Su Feicheng's 500 or so bandits, all Li Yao did not plan to fight in three counties, first attack one county, and then stabilize and quickly defeat the other two counties.

After formulating the plan, Li Yao came to his senses and saw that Meizi had fallen asleep on the table, so he carried Meizi to the bed, covered it with a quilt, and Li Yao returned to the table to continue watching Sun Tzu's Art of War!
