PS: Thank you to netizen fkingbitch for the monthly pass and tip.

Wang Shichong smiled: "If you join the army, you can not die, but you also have to ask tens of thousands of soldiers if they also think like you." The eldest husband has made meritorious contributions to the battlefield and has been knighted, which is naturally the reason why we all came here, but if we put our lives into it, few people are willing. ”

Wang Shichong's words made the generals on the left nod again and again, Zhou Luohu did not speak, squinted his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and said: "Wang joins the army, you continue." ”

Wang Shichong continued: "This third, if it is a pure cavalry unit, the Goguryeo country is more lofty, not the northern steppe, so that the cavalry can move forward, if everything goes well, we can land in the area of Nampo Port, which is relatively flat and suitable for the deployment of large troops, then we have to cross six or seven passes to reach Pyongyang, it will take at least half a month, and then the Goguryeo people are slow to move, at least they can be ready to defend Pyongyang City, I want to ask Feng to join the army, how to attack the city on horseback?" ”

The corners of Feng Lun's mouth hooked, and he said, "It's not easy? With cavalry, it is not a problem to deal with the Goguryeo army in the field, whether it is the enemy defenders in Pyongyang City or the troops of King Laiqin, they can easily be defeated in the field, and when the time comes, Pyongyang will be surrounded, and the siege equipment will be cut down on the spot, and the siege equipment will be made in a month. ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "But Feng joins the army seems to have forgotten, you only brought three months of military rations, and it will take about a month at sea, and it will take more than half a month to attack Pyongyang. What will you let the sergeants eat and drink? ”

Feng Lun's forehead began to sweat. Forced to say calmly: "All the way." Besides, our army set out in June and landed in July, and when the grain in Goguryeo's fields was ripe and ready for harvesting. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Feng joined the army, do you know the strong wall and the clear field?" The Goguryeo people are not fools. If my army lands, we will definitely grab the grain, even if it is burned, it will not leave enough grain and grass for our army, as for the attack on the state and the county you said, this is the same as the cavalry raid you just planned, bypassing the states and counties along the way, and taking advantage of the Pyongyang city to fight in the same way, if you want to push all the way, steady and steady. What do you need cavalry to do, just take 40,000 infantry and take it slowly. ”

The sweat on Feng Lun's body became more and more. He wiped his face and said in a deep voice: "Wang joined the army, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, of course, the first is to raid Pyongyang with cavalry, if you can succeed in one blow, of course, it is the best, if you can't attack for a long time, you will divide your troops to attack the nearby states and counties, how can you fix the fighting style and tactics now?" You've been on the battlefield for a long time, so you don't even understand this truth. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Feng joined the army, your method is to take advantage of luck and opportunism, to put it mildly, this is a gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, gambling to be able to capture Pyongyang, if the bet fails, under the fortified city, will fall into the enemy's iron wall, along the way the enemy state and county see our cavalry going straight to Pyongyang, will definitely send troops to follow the attack, and at the same time step up the harvest of grain, stationed in the warehouse in the city, even if you divide the army to capture the state and county, these cities will definitely burn all the grain before the city is broken." , will not be left to us, when the time comes, within three months, our army will starve to death, can only become a foreign ghost. ”

Feng Lun was dumbfounded, but he couldn't find a word to refute it, his mouth was puffing up, it looked like a leather ball, his fists were clenched tightly, and he wished that Wang Shichong was in his palm, and he could pinch this nasty guy to death at once.

Zhou Luohu's eyes slowly opened, and he looked at Wang Shichong, with a calm expression: "Wang joined the army, have you finished speaking?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "For the time being, what I think of is that these three are not feasible, a little humble opinion, and I ask Marshal Zhou for more advice." With a victor's smile on his face, he gave a military salute to Feng Lun, "Please also ask Feng to join the army for more guidance, I didn't think about it in a hurry, and my words just now were offensive, please don't be surprised." ”

Feng Lun hated his teeth and his face was pale, but he couldn't attack, so he could only "hum", casually replied, and then retreated.

Zhou Luohu glanced around the tent majestically: "Do you have anything else to add?" ”

The generals present looked at each other, and basically finished what they wanted to say to Wang Shichong and Feng Lun, so they all shook their heads and said nothing, only He Chou came out and said a few words that must be brought on board the boatman, just in case, these words have also been mentioned many times in the recent military discussions, and they are also clichés and have no new meaning.

Zhou Luohu waited until everyone finished speaking, and then said to Wang Shichong: "From the perspective of Wang joining the army, can our army only honestly be a partial division on this expedition across the sea, and cannot steal the limelight of the main army in Liaodong?" ”

Wang Shichong's heart sank, Zhou Luohu's words really revealed his true thoughts, his quiet appearance hides a fiery heart of meritorious service, this famous general of the Southern Dynasty back then, has been silent for many years since entering the Sui Dynasty, maybe this is the most reluctant opportunity for him to establish meritorious service as a coach all the way, how could he let it go, he made a thousand calculations, or missed this point.

But Wang Shichong didn't think much about it, and replied: "Marshal Zhou, since our army is alone in the road, we naturally don't let go of the opportunity, if we really find that the enemy's garrison is empty after landing, our army can drive straight in, of course, the great achievement of breaking the country and capturing the monarch can not be let go, but the last general thinks that everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted.

In the humble opinion of the last general, you can bring 40,000 infantry, 10,000 military horses, and about five months of food supplies, so that if there are fighters after going ashore, you can rush to Pyongyang with 10,000 cavalry, force the enemy to defend the city, and cut off the enemy's contact with the outside world, and the infantry will follow all the way, conquer the city along the way, seize supplies, and if the enemy army is strong, you can also retreat to the coastal camp to hold on, and if you can't hold on, you can withdraw by boat, so this is a foolproof strategy!"

Zhou Luohu shook his head: "Wang joins the army, your method is just a compromise, according to your fighting style, even if you have a fighter, it is impossible to capture Pyongyang in the shortest possible time, and it is impossible for 10,000 cavalry to cut off Pyongyang's contact with the outside world, let alone make siege equipment."

Pyongyang is the capital of Goguryeo, even if the defenders only have a minimum of 10,000 people, even if they are not fully prepared, if they want to conquer Pyongyang, they need at least 20,000 people, that is, if you choose the way of surprise attack, the cavalry cannot be less than 20,000, and they must be combat troops, all of which are elite. ”

Wang Shichong said calmly: "If it is 20,000 cavalry, unless we do not bring boatmen, it is impossible to guarantee more than four months of military rations, Marshal Zhou, if the military rations are not enough for four months, then I am afraid that we will not have enough food on the way to withdraw the army." ”

Zhou Luohu Ha Langha smiled: "Wang joins the army, you and Feng join the army only have Pyongyang in their eyes, but they don't think of the south of Dongbihu City (now Kaesong, the famous ancient capital in the history of North Korea, located at the junction of today's North Korea and South Korea, belonging to the center of the Korean Peninsula), if our army fails to raid Pyongyang, we don't have to stop our troops under Pyongyang, but wave the army south, and take advantage of the return of Goguryeo's reinforcements to capture the important town of Dongbihu in the south of Goguryeo, which is the county seat of the former Han Dynasty's Obifang County, To the south, it is bordered by the Han River Plain, which is owned by Baekje and Silla.

Once our army conquers Dongbihu City, it is impossible to burn down the granaries like other small cities because of the population of tens of thousands of households, and even if they burn the grain, our army will be able to get in touch with Baekje and Silla in the south, and with the hostile relationship between the two countries and Goguryeo, they will offer military rations when they see the army of our Celestial Empire.

If the main army of northern Goguryeo returns, it will hold on and wait for reinforcements, and if the northern army of Goguryeo does not return, it will go north to besiege Pyongyang after receiving sufficient food supplies, and this kind of play can form a response with the main army of Liaodong, so that the north and south of Goguryeo cannot be taken into account, and the country can be broken in a war!"
