Chapter 564: The Battle of the Ages (14)
I think that at the beginning, when Ling Feng first started, wasn't he in the army of recruits, didn't he also win a lot of battles, and the first battle was encountered with the enemy's elite troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
If it is according to Liao Yun, it will not be the defeat of the recruits.
"Right now, it's mainly defense-oriented, mainly defending this area... There are a total of seven cities, as well as the five villages we have newly established, all of which are set up at the main entrance of the road, which can block Jiang Yiyuan's westward journey. ”
Liao Yun pointed to the map, his fingers kept swiping on the map, and said, "As long as we hold seven of these twelve places, we can be as stable as Mount Tai, and Jiang Yiyuan will not march." ”
"Why?"
Liao Yun said with a smile: "Didn't you notice, a few days ago, we also arranged our troops in this way, Jiang Yiyuan contributed one city and two villages to me in one day, but he did not continue to march forward on the second day, but stayed and continued to attack other cities on the left and right, until after attacking three cities and three villages, he abandoned the other cities on both sides and continued to move forward; What does this mean? He is afraid of keeping these nails, if he doesn't pull them out, he will leave trouble in the future, if he stabs him in the back, it will be enough for him to drink a pot, so, as long as more than half of our twelve places are defended, there is no need to be afraid, of course, in other words, if you can't hold it, then after losing half of the city, you must immediately retreat, withdraw the second line of defense, and then immediately cast a fortress to defend it, and so on, although we will keep losing the city, but it can delay the edge of Jiang Yiyuan's attack. ”
In this way, Sun Liang and Sun Tong, as well as other generals, also understood.
Except for Liao Yun, Sun Liang was an understanding person, and the others were all masters with developed limbs and simple minds.
Sun Liang said: "It is absolutely not advisable to fight hard with Jiang Yiyuan, it seems that it can only be like this, even if you lose some cities, but as long as the lord solves Yang Xiong and returns to the division, Jiang Yiyuan will be defeated!" ”
"You're right, that's what I mean."
Liao Yun said with a smile: "Although the lord said that let us guard the south and prevent Jiang Yiyuan from entering Kaiyuan, he is actually worried about the safety of Kaiyuan County, as long as we don't let Jiang Yiyuan hit the county town, as for not letting a single soldier enter Kaiyuan... Hehe, I believe that the lord also knows that this is simply impossible, there are no dangerous cities in the south, there are no important checkpoints, there is not even a major town, how to defend, not to mention our hundreds of thousands of people, even if it is doubled, it can't be defended, there are too many places to be held, it is difficult to take care of it. ”
In fact, many days ago, Liao Yun reported his embarrassing situation to the Ministry of War, wanting the Ministry of War to continue to increase troops, and requested, it is best to transfer Han Yong's 70,000 soldiers and horses, if there are Han Yong's 70,000 elites, then against Jiang Yiyuan, he is absolutely sure, whether it is defending the city or in the field, he can fight evenly.
However, it's a pity, Sun Jian didn't dare to do this at all, Ling Feng had already said before leaving Kaiyuan to attack the imperial capital, Han Yong's matter was to garrison Kaiyuan.
Of course, after being annoyed by Liao Yun's letters for help again and again, Sun Jian still handed over the news to the Military Administration Department, and Zhang Shilin said that it was still not allowed.
Because Zhang Shilin thinks that even if reinforcements are needed, it will not be the time, Liao Yun, Sun Liang, and Sun Tong are more than 100,000 troops, how can they not be able to support it for half a month, this is definitely not the strength of Kaiyuan's elite soldiers.
If Han Yong's 70,000 men were transferred up at this time, what would happen once Ling Feng needed troops? Once Yang Ye can't support it, what should he do?
After some consideration, he decided that there must be no reinforcements, and even if they did, it would be a month later.
Liao Yun asked for reinforcements several times in succession, but he dispelled the idea of letting Han Yong reinforce and changed the idea of fighting those equipment.
Originally, he wanted to ask Sun Jian to allocate more thunderbolts and zha bullets, but Liao Yun thought about it, but he was afraid that it would be more difficult than transferring Han Yong, and after thinking about it, he didn't speak, but asked Sun Jian to reinforce one thousand three bow bed crossbows.
The bed crossbow has a huge effect, whether it is a siege, a defense, or a field battle, and can consume a large number of enemy soldiers.
Nowadays, don't look at Liao Yun as the general of the first field army, but in fact, there are not many bed crossbows in the army, only a pitiful two hundred beds, as for Zhang Ming and Li Yan, there are even fewer, only dozens of bed crossbows, because this thing is also very complicated to build, and I dare not send more.
When I heard Liao Yun say that he wanted a thousand crossbows, he almost made Sun Jian faint with laughter, it was really a lion's mouth, and he didn't know how big it was. One thousand, even if the armory workshop does not eat or drink, it will take two years to build it, how can it be said that it can be adjusted.
However, Sun Jian's person is also a very humane person, and it was really hard for Liao Yun to fight in front of him, and finally relented, gave Liao Yun a discount, gave two hundred crossbows, and attached two thousand automatic crossbows, with 100,000 arrows.
The so-called automatic crossbow is actually the kind of three-bow crossbow in the past, as long as the soldier holds the crossbow in his hand, places the arrow on the crossbow, and then gently pulls the trigger, he can shoot three arrows at the same time, the power is very huge, it can shoot to one hundred and fifty steps away, the soldier uses it, not only easy, but also convenient, fast, and strong.
After receiving the news, Liao Yun was overjoyed and is now waiting for the arrival of the goods.
It's a pity that three days have passed, and the bed crossbow and strong crossbow have not come, so Liao Yun can only continue to deal with Jiang Yiyuan according to the previous method.
Compared with Liao Yun, Yang Ye played more easily.
The family in the east is much more than in the south, and the hesitation is along the river, the people are very rich, and the family is also full of fat, and when they see the invasion of foreign enemies, they are very happy to cooperate, and donate the only defeated private soldiers to help the war.
It's not just the people of the big family, just like Liao Yunna, the county soldiers, private soldiers, and the people's volunteer army, anyway, there are tens of thousands of them together.
Since Yang Ye's garrison was here, soldiers and horses from all walks of life have arrived one after another, and by now, 90,000 newly recruited soldiers and horses have been gathered, plus his own 50,000, which is 140,000.
Originally, Yang Ye was ready to do a big job, knowing that the enemy had an army of 500,000 sailing, he was not afraid, but the facts made him very speechless, he had been stationed at the border for half a month, Zhou Xiong and Zhen Yang had not yet come, and they only traveled dozens of miles a day.
He can also see that in a word, the Eastern Xinjiang Imperial Court seems to be waiting, and it doesn't want to fight this battle at all, to be precise, it doesn't want to weaken its own strength, and wants to sit back and enjoy it. (To be continued.) )
