Chapter 151: The Father-Daughter Debate (continued)
"Can you do it?"
The daughter had been on the sand table for an hour, but she still had not been able to successfully defend the city, not because of any mistake in her decision-making, but because the prerequisites of the war were extremely unfavorable to her.
In fact, purely from the point of view of deployment, her daughter has done a very good job, even if she lets some battle-hardened generals come, she may not be able to do better than her.
But if another battle-hardened general came over and led this army to fight this battle, it should have been won.
"Don't bother me, wait until I think about it, there should be a place where this terrain can be used that I didn't think of before, give me some time."
Maybe it's been too long and there hasn't been any new progress, Zhao Ling'er was a little annoyed at the moment, and the tone of speech in this state was naturally as angry as taking gunpowder.
However, Zhao Weiji didn't care about this, but continued to watch his daughter's deduction with more interest.
"Dad, what month did this battle take place?"
"Hmm." Zhao Weiji thought about it and told Zhao Ling'er: "The time when the war started was in mid-May. ”
"It's the middle of May." This mid-May seems to have given Zhao Linger some inspiration.
"Did you think of anything?" Zhao Weiji was very happy about his daughter's inquiry about the month, which showed that his daughter began to notice things outside the battlefield.
"Dad, is it starting to rain in the south in mid-to-late May, the kind in a row?"
"You're talking about the rainy season, right? In mid-to-late May, the rainy season begins, but that's just the beginning. ”
"So can I take advantage of the rising water during the rainy season to prevent the other party from crossing the river? When we were in Huating together. Isn't it necessary to strengthen the embankment every year at this season? ”
"The problem is that the rainy season has just begun, are you sure that the river can be so big?"
"I can think of stopping the river. Then wait for the other party to cross the river and rush them with water, just like the flooding of the Seventh Army in "Three Kingdoms". While speaking, Zhao Linger also demonstrated her thoughts in a deductive way on the sand table.
My daughter's idea is really good. But in Zhao Weiji's opinion, there are still many unrealistic places, so Zhao Weiji pointed out these places very mercilessly.
"Ling'er, your idea is very good, but in my opinion, there are a few problems. First of all, how are you going to intercept the river and build a dam? ”
"yes, if you look at the column here, don't you just do it." As she spoke, she gestured to the location of the upper reaches of the river on the map.
"Do you know how much it would take to re-dam a dam to stop the flow of water?"
Hear this question. Zhao Ling'er shook her head.
"You only have 20,000 people on hand, and if you build a dam in the country according to your plan, you will need at least 100,000 people. And you don't know that, it takes time to build a dam, but you don't have much time. The cavalry of the opposing side will only reach your city for a maximum of ten days, are you sure that you can build a dam with enough water in ten days? ”
Zhao Ling'er shook her head again.
"Besides, even if your plan succeeds, the price you pay will be very heavy, once the levee bursts and the water is released. Even if you can rush out those cavalry, all the cities downstream will also suffer, so what do you think is the point of winning this battle? ”
Xiao Nizi never seemed to have considered this, and at this time, Zhao Weiji pointed out these consequences. was a little anxious for a while, and there was a hint of crying when he spoke: "But ......, in the Three Kingdoms...... That's what Guan Yu did. He...... It's not the rainy season yet...... Washed Fancheng with water...... The ...... of the flooded Seventh Army. ”
Seeing that his daughter felt a little like crying, Zhao Weiji immediately stepped forward and touched her daughter's head and comforted: "It is not wrong for Guan Yu to flood the Seventh Army. But that's not the same situation as you are now.
At that time, there were already three built embankments on the riverbed around Fancheng, and Guan Yu didn't need to rebuild them at all. As long as the rain starts to intensify, digging the levee will be done.
Moreover, even if Fancheng was flooded at that time, once the rain was light, the water would easily recede, and it would not be easy to spread to other places.
But it doesn't work, but your idea is good, and you've started to pay attention to something outside of the battlefield.
Sometimes it is often something outside the battlefield that determines the victory of a war, not the formation, not the weapon, but the weather, morale, and even some habits that often become the factors that determine the victory of the war.
Now that you've begun to think about it, what you need to win this war may not be the layout of the battle situation, but something else, think again. ”
After receiving Zhao Weiji's comfort, Zhao Ling'er was in a better mood, but because all the previous methods were denied, she still had some frustration at this time.
"Dad, you tell me the truth, can the red side really win this war? It doesn't look like Red can win. ”
Seeing his daughter looking at him suspiciously, Zhao Weiji, who felt cute, pinched her little face, and then said with a smile: "Of course you can win, let me tell you this, this war really exists, all the things I give on the battlefield are actually there, and the final result of this war is that the red side wins." So you'd better hurry up and use your little brain to think about it. ”
"Really? Does this war really exist? Why haven't I read it in a book? ”
"Not everything is recorded in the book, you better go back to the sand table and think about it. To give you a hint, what are the shortcomings of the Khitans when they were fighting? ”
"Downside?" At this moment, Zhao Ling'er, whose attention had returned to the sand table, fell into contemplation again because of Zhao Weiji's words.
"What are the shortcomings of the Khitans? I heard my grandfather talk about the Khitans, he said that the Khitans fought bravely, had excellent marksmanship, and the cavalry was invincible in the world, what shortcomings did they have? ”
"By the way, think about what you believe your grandfather said about the characteristics of the Khitans."
"There you go. Grandpa Xin seems to have said that the Khitans are not too good at night fighting. And the use of stratagem is a little less than our strategists in the Central Plains, and the commander level is good. The minds of the people down there are a little too many to turn. ”
"And then?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Ling'er immediately returned to the sand table, this time she first asked all the soldiers who were already on the north bank to ambush, waiting for the advance troops of the blue side to come over until they reached the river.
"I can use these troops to carry out night attacks first, and disturb the peace of the cavalry."
"That's a good idea, what's next?"
"Next, I let the other side cross the river, and the troops on my side also returned to the city from the other side. After returning to the city, I asked the city to use the empty city plan, and the commander of the opponent's advance force generally couldn't turn his brain. At this time, there must only be one thought in his mind, that is, the enemy must have an ambush in the city, and rushing in can only send him to death, so he does not dare to move forward. ”
"Very good, but what about further down?"
"If we go further, the troops on our side who have returned to the south bank will carry out a night attack until the other side has completely collapsed, and then cooperate with the soldiers in the city, we can completely force the blue side strength into the river. The Khitans are not accustomed to water, and once they force the blue side into the river, then they are all dead. ”
After saying this, Zhao Linger turned her head and looked at Zhao Weiji with a proud face. Meaning your daughter is not bad.
And Zhao Weiji was also applauding and congratulating his daughter at this time because of his daughter's wonderful deduction, because his daughter's deduction at this time was almost the same as the real appearance of that battle.
"You've done pretty well at this point. But this war is not over yet, don't forget that there are still 100,000 people in the northwest who will rush over immediately. What are you going to do with those people? ”
Zhao Ling'er patronized and excited, forgetting that the premise of this war was that the blue side still had 100,000 reinforcements.
And at this time, Zhao Weiji gave another condition. That is: "By the way, the commander of the 100,000 reinforcements is an extremely high-ranking general, almost at the level of Yelu Hugo, think about what to do, right?" ”
"Isn't it, someone of this level personally led troops to attack a small city like mine? Dad, you're not kidding me, are you? ”
"Of course it's not to tease you, I'll give you another hint, this commander has basically swept through the Central Plains before attacking your small city, which is quite remarkable."
"Is this called a hint? Dad, I'm sure now that you're not kidding me, you're fixing me, you're fixing me. ”
"What so much nonsense, your small city has a high strategic position, of course the other party is going to send the most elite commander to lead the troops. Think about what you're going to do next, right?
Don't forget, although your tactics were good just now, it was unrealistic to completely wipe out those vanguard troops, so what you faced next was not only the 100,000 army, but also the remnants of the previous troops, adding up to more than 100,000. ”
At this time, Zhao Ling'er had the heart to cry, how could she beat it, she now became more and more suspicious that this was really a broken thing that his father made up to hit her self-confidence, and it was impossible for anyone to win in such a situation.
"Would you like to give me some more hints?"
"I want to give you two more, there are no more. The first hint is that a large part of the cavalry coming from the opponent's reinforcements is heavy cavalry.
Heavy cavalry is that both cavalrymen and horses are wearing heavy armor, and it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to kill them.
The second tip is that it's hot. ”
After Zhao Weiji finished saying these last two tips, Zhao Linger had already scolded in his heart: "What kind of prompt is this, heavy armored cavalry, that's still a fart, I still had a crossbow before, but now I can't even shoot through the crossbow." And what kind of thing is it when it's hot?? ”
Zhao Ling'er, who really couldn't think of what to do, finally chose to surrender.
"Surrendered?"
"Surrender, but surrender is surrender, you have to tell me how to win this battle, if you don't make it clear, you won't want to sleep tonight."
Seeing his daughter's vicious appearance, Zhao Weiji laughed heartlessly, and after laughing, he walked to the side of the sand table, and then prepared to start explaining. (To be continued......)
