The Ming army not only attacked on the Korean Peninsula, but also on the Southeast Peninsula, the troops under the command of Wang Jue were also fiercely attacking the positions of the Ceylon defenders. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shells fell as if they didn't cost money, craters decorated the place as indistinguishable from the surface of the moon, and every plant and tree was destroyed, leaving only tenacious humans living with bacteria.

The troops of the Ming Empire exchanged casualties for pieces of land, and the gap that was soon opened by the tank troops was doubled by the infantry.

However, the price of this expansion was that more than 20,000 attacking Ming troops and more than 4,000 Ceylon defenders evaporated as the war continued.

This was the tragic situation of positional warfare a few years ago, when the attacking side often lost a large number of men, disproportionately to the defending side.

It is precisely because of this that there will be twists and turns in the Ming Empire's rebellion in Liaodong, and it is precisely because of this that so many countries can entangle and stalemate with the Ming Empire, so that the powerful Ming Empire has no choice.

Although it lost a large number of soldiers, the Ming Empire still had an absolute advantage in the war situation, and overwhelmed the Ceylonese army on the southeast peninsula in terms of the number of artillery and tanks.

Wang Jue could use this stupid method to consume it, drag down Ceylon with heavy losses, and win the war.

And in this process, it will not always be such a loss ratio - the position will be penetrated one day, and after the breakthrough, the situation will be reversed and develop in the favorable direction of the Ming Empire.

At that time, the loss ratio of the two sides will be close to one to one, and this time is the rhythm of the Ming Empire, as long as it is close to the equivalent exchange, it seems that no country in the world can compete with the Ming Empire.

As long as Ceylon is defeated, the losses suffered by the Ming Empire will be immediately remedied, at least from the strategic point of view, the benefits of the Ming Empire will far outweigh the losses.

Even if 10 million people were lost, Greater Luzon (Australia) and the Southeast Peninsula could be gained, and at least 10 million or even 20 million people could be strategically plundered.

Because of this, Wang Jue dared to use the most stupid method to kick off the battle of the Southeast Peninsula step by step, at least until he found the flaws of the other party, he was willing to fight like this.

As the commander of the Ming Empire, Wang Jue's willingness to fight clumsily like this does not mean that others are also willing to fight like this.

At least, Shen Baihe and Shen Ruyu in Ceylon are unwilling to fight like this. They hoped that there would be a flaw in the command of the Ming Empire, so that they could eliminate more of the living forces of the Ming Empire.

They wanted to annihilate the Ming Empire's army more and stabilize the situation before the British fleet arrived, so that they could drag the Ming Empire into the quagmire of war as they had done countless times before.

The reason is also very simple: only by dragging the Ming Empire into the quagmire of war and consuming the strength it has accumulated can it stabilize the war situation and continue to maintain the situation against the Ming Empire in the next ten or even twenty years.

"We can't continue to stalemate like this anymore, once the Ming Empire nails the wedge deep, Wang Jue may use this wedge to make a fuss." Shen Baihe also knew that if he was so passive defensive, something would happen sooner or later.

In war, there is no reason to be beaten passively. He hopes that he can use some small means to win more favorable opportunities for himself.

If the enemy does not move, there will naturally be no chance. But now that the enemy has moved, no matter how tightly arranged, it will leave a fatal flaw.

When he was determined to make a change, Shen Baihe was thinking about how he could work out corresponding countermeasures for Wang Jue's steady and steady work.

Shen Ruyu prefers to use direct and rough tricks, which is also the safest way to do it. Since the enemy wants to drive a wedge into the position in Ceylon, isn't it enough to pull out the wedge?

However, a sound response often comes at a higher cost. This kind of play, which is similar to equivalent exchange, will also increase Ceylon's losses, and it can be said that it is a way to deplete the reserves.

Therefore, in Shen Baihe's opinion, this method is not a last resort, and he will not consider using it. He prefers to use a method with a higher cost ratio, which is also his way of showing his wisdom.

If you can inflict heavy damage on the Ming army in a simpler and more convenient way, that's what a real commander should do! It's like Miao Shengye dragged Ge Tianzhang back then.

After thinking about it, he really found a way for Shen Baihe: since Shen Ruyu's plan to fight back didn't work, would retreating be another shortcut to victory?

As soon as this thought appeared in Shen Baihe's mind, it could no longer be dissipated. He felt that this was a good way, a good way to lure the Ming Empire into being fooled.

Shen Baihe's plan was very simple, but it was a very practical plan to lure the enemy in-depth: he planned to let Wang Jue throw himself into the attacking troops and make a breakthrough in front of him faster.

Defending the two flanks and reinforcing the defensive positions there made it impossible for the Ming army to expand its breakthrough to the left and right flanks, but instead fell deeper and deeper, forming a very prominent salient.

It's like an exam question, and then it's up to Wang Jue's response. If the other party is not fooled, Shen Baihe will also close the gap from the two wings and recapture the defensive position.

If the other side is fooled and throws the main forces into the pocket in an attempt to expand the breakthrough, then it will face the danger of annihilation. This is a lure plan that seems to be risk-free no matter what.

In Shen Baihe's view, Wang Jue, who was eager to expand the results of the war in the Southeast Peninsula, or the Ming Empire, which was eager to open up the situation, could really be deceived and lose some of the elite troops.

As long as this expected result is achieved, the Ming Empire's idea of making progress on the Southeast Peninsula in the short term will be a complete failure.

After thinking about this plan repeatedly, Shen Baihe, who thought that he had no flaws, sent the entire battle plan back to Miao Shengye.

Cautious, he hopes that one more person will give him advice and close the loopholes in this plan. Miao Shengye finally agreed to this plan, but when he approved it, he suggested that the appetite should be as small as possible, and the accumulation of small victories became big victories, and he must not be in a hurry.

So, the plan was put into practice.

On the 29th of December, the Ming Empire won another small victory in the southeast peninsula, and the troops that attacked the opponent's defense line miraculously advanced a full 2 kilometers at a relatively small cost. (To be continued.) )
