219. Arrangements for defensive operations
Xu Renjie's motivation is unprecedentedly sufficient!
Since joining Huanglong Cottage, he has been following Zhu Yuanzhang to learn various things, including marching, arranging formations, training soldiers, using formations, and predicting the actions of enemy generals...... As long as he knew everything about strategy and tactics, he devoted 120,000 points of enthusiasm, and after such a long period of study, he thought that he already had a very strong command ability.
So he has been longing, looking forward to a real big fight.
The last time he led troops to attack Yichuan, it should have been his first battle, but unfortunately he was blocked back by a spring rain, and this time to deal with Du Wenhuan's attack became his real first battle. Even he himself didn't expect that the first battle after coming to Huanglong Cottage would be to fight against such a powerful enemy.
The excited Xu Renjie has not slept well every day recently, and the excitement fills every inch of nerves in his body, making him like a machine that can't be stopped, running day and night.
As the officers and soldiers began to attack the Huanglong Mountain Range, the first thing that unfolded between the two sides was a thrilling scout battle. Du Wenhuan ate Zhu Yuanzhang's "fake scout circle" last time, so this time he poured a lot of effort into the dispatch of scouts. Before the army of officers and soldiers entered the mountain, a scout team of as many as 100 people rushed into the Huanglong Mountain Range, in the valleys, woods, and cliffs...... and the scouts sent by Xu Renjie caught and hidden.
The advantage of this side of the Huanglong Cottage is that it is extremely familiar with the terrain, and since it has been entrenched in the Huanglong Mountain for several years, the scouts in the village know every stone in the mountain well.
Half of the 100 scouts who entered the mountains this time were elite sentinels, and the "patrol scouts who were transferred from the Yansui border army" or "pier sentries," "direct dialing," and "horizontal dialing" -- these sentries possessed extremely strong combat power, and almost every one of them could go deep into the enemy's territory to reconnoitre, and march in lurking day and night, and their hand-to-hand combat ability was very good...... One-on-one with the minority cavalry outside the border, there will be no stage fright. (Liaodong Jingluo Yang Hao mentioned this kind of sentinel in "Reconnaissance Yiming": go straight to the cave and inspect its situation; Horizontally dialed along the edge, and continued the flying report. )
The serious battle has not yet begun, the scouts of the Huanglong cottage have already fought countless small fights with the scouts of the officers and soldiers, the two sides take advantage of the cover of the cliffs and the woods, the arrows come and go, and the hidden weapons of the mechanism are not also pleasant, due to the complex terrain, the scouts on both sides are no longer like on the plains, you can escape from a distance, but have formed a very complex infiltration relationship, the scout network presents a cross-tangled situation, sometimes a scout of the Huanglong cottage kills a scout of the officers and soldiers, just relieved when he plans to go back, But he will be surprised to find that there is an enemy waiting behind him......
This chaotic situation has made a lot of information on both sides have been grasped by the other side. The main village and sub-village of Huanglong Cottage were almost all probed by the "direct dialing" of officers and soldiers, and the scouts under Zhu Yuanzhang even snatched a map of Huanglong Cottage from the enemy's scouts...... Obviously, the officers and men have already begun to grasp the terrain of the Huanglong Cottage, and it is already very difficult to take advantage of the situation that the other side is not familiar with the terrain to carry out an ambush.
And the scouts of Huanglong Cottage did not eat in vain, they even counted the officers and soldiers who brought a few cannons and a few firecrackers into the mountain this time.
This is the real situation of the war, it is very difficult to deceive the enemy in these things, in some irresponsible novels, the protagonist takes hundreds of people casually, casually inquires about the enemy's intelligence, and rushes in from behind the enemy to make a surprise attack, and takes out the head of the general, which is pure. In a real war, how can it be so easy to touch the enemy's ass? If it is really so easy, why do the famous generals, fierce generals, and generals in history still have to fight the enemy head-on? It's better to go to the night raid and surprise attack the enemy chrysanthemum!
-------------
After some intelligence warfare, the officers and soldiers got closer and closer to the Huanglong Cottage, and the smell of war had begun to permeate.
"Leaders, this time the first battle between the officers and soldiers and the main village will definitely not take place in the main village, and the first thing the officers and soldiers want to attack is the No. 3 branch four miles south of the main village!" Xu Renjie was in the meeting hall of the cottage and talked eloquently to all the leaders: "Therefore, Marshal Ben decided to set the battlefield of the first battle at the third sub-village!" First of all, strengthen the defense of the No. 3 sub-village. ”
"Huh? Will the officers and soldiers attack the village first? Desperately Saburo said puzzledly: "Why do you think that the officers and soldiers will not attack our main village first?" ”
Xu Renjie smiled hesitantly: "Do you know why we Han people built many fortresses and castles on the northern border when they fought against the northern minorities? Its purpose is to prevent the enemy from attacking the city directly, forcing the enemy army to attack the fortress first. Because, if the enemy army bypasses the fortress, the garrison in the fortress will suddenly open the gate of the fortress when the enemy army attacks the city, attack the enemy from behind, and cut off its supply lines...... Therefore, in the battles of the past and present, very few armies have crossed dangerous mountains and rivers and directly attacked the important cities of the enemy...... Most wars are fought by frontal advances, attacking fortress by castle. ”
Speaking of this, he paused and said with a smile: "The situation of Huanglong Cottage at this time is different from when Yang Hong entered the mountain, at that time we only had one main village, so Yang Hong directly attacked the main village. At present, many sub-villages have been built next to our main village, and each branch village is stationed on a hill, and there are several hundred soldiers in it; if the officers and men do not care about these sub-villages, when they attack the main village, they may be suddenly attacked by the soldiers in the sub-villages at any time, or behind the side, cutting off the supply lines of the officers and soldiers. ”
"......I see," the leaders sighed, and then they turned their heads in unison and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting next to them: "Brother Zhu, is the generalissimo right?" You judge ......"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "I have already said that he will be fully responsible for the initial formation this time, so I will not put forward the slightest opinion on the strategy he set...... You all cheer me up, don't always rely on me, sooner or later you will have to be on your own. ”
The leaders screamed, turned their heads and looked at Xu Renjie: "Okay, just when what you say is right, we don't understand anyway." ”
Xu Renjie said confidently: "Everyone just believe me, haha, I'm sure that the officers and soldiers will definitely take the lead in attacking the No. 3 sub-village, that village is a little far away from the main village, and the officers and soldiers will feel that it is easier to attack." Moreover, the No. 3 sub-village is located on the only way into the mountain, and if Du Wenhuan comes to attack the main village regardless of the village, it is absolutely not in line with the art of war. In other words, our initial battle will inevitably be carried out in the No. 3 sub-village, where the defense is not as good as the main village. ”
Everyone was satisfied with Xu Renjie's explanation, and even Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with this view, Xu Renjie has indeed grown a lot.
I only heard Xu Renjie laugh and said: "Compared with the main village, the defense facilities of the No. 3 sub-village are far worse, and we know this, and the officers and soldiers have also made it clear through the 'direct dial'...... Therefore, if we suddenly strengthen the defense capability of the No. 3 sub-village and hide this information so that the officers and men's 'direct dialing' cannot detect it, what the enemy will know is the previous No. 3 sub-village...... Once the intelligence is wrong, they are prone to suffer when attacking the cottage......"
He said triumphantly, "Now I'll arrange everyone's specific matters...... Brother Saburo desperately, I would like to ask you to lead a thousand soldiers to be stationed in the No. 3 sub-village, condescendingly, and defend the attack of the officers and soldiers with bows and arrows, rolling logs, stones and other objects. ”
"Good!" Desperately Saburo came out to take the order.
Xu Renjie commanded in an accentuated tone: "What you need to pay attention to is that the officers and soldiers may use the method of detailed attack to lure you into wasting defensive materials such as arrows, rolling logs, and stones...... Therefore, when commanding defensive operations, try to be economical and do not fall for the enemy's tricks. ”
"In addition......" Xu Renjie added: "Although the No. 3 sub-village is very important, it is far less important than our main village, if you feel that you can't hold it, you don't have to defend it, don't bury yourself and the thousand soldiers on the defense of this sub-village." When I felt that I couldn't hold it, I decisively withdrew from the back mountain path...... Give the cottage to the officers and soldiers. ”
Well, this kid is really decent, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nodded.
I only heard Xu Renjie say again: "Although I judge that the officers and soldiers will attack the No. 3 sub-village, my judgment may also be wrong, and the enemy is very likely to adopt the strategy of feint to attack the No. 3 sub-village, and actually attack the main village, or other sub-villages, so ...... Second Brother Wang, sister-in-law of Yingshan Hong, I would like to ask you to lead a thousand soldiers to stand by in the main village, ready to reinforce any stockade that may be attacked by officers and soldiers. ”
"Good!" The two husbands and wives took the order.
"Miao Mei Brothers...... You lead 500 soldiers to garrison the No. 1 sub-village, if the officers and soldiers come to attack the village, you immediately light the fire for help, you can't just rely on your own brute force and the officers and soldiers to fight hard. If other subdivisions start a fire, don't leave your garrison and come out to reinforce it...... Unless you see the fire of the main village, you just have to guard your position. ”
"Brother Poodle...... The two of you also led 500 soldiers to garrison the second sub-village......"
After a while, Xu Renjie assigned everyone's tasks, and he was really decent and confident. The main village and several important sub-villages of Huanglong Cottage were woven into a large net of vertical and horizontal lines, and no matter which place the officers and soldiers attacked, they would be perfectly blocked.
All the leaders couldn't help but be impressed by him!
Xu Renjie triumphantly asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother Zhu, is it okay for me to make such an arrangement?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said nothing, obviously, he wanted to implement what he had just said, and would never intervene in this arrangement. But he sighed lightly in his heart: good arrangement...... If the other party doesn't have a Divine Machine Battalion...... I guess this defensive operation will be perfect...... Xu Renjie, it's a pity, your initial battle is destined to be defeated under the attack of the Shenji Battalion, but it's okay, you will lose the first battle, maybe it will make you have more room to grow! Just let me see!
