The capture of Jianchang Mansion was unexpectedly smooth, which made the southwest expeditionary army full of confidence, and began to predict the next battle situation one by one, and even spread a saying, saying "two months to sweep away Dali Kingdom", what makes people laugh and cry is that many people agree with this statement.

Of course, Xin Qiji and the people in the staff office would not be blindly optimistic, but after this battle, everyone would of course be a little bold when formulating the battle plan, so this battle plan for capturing Huichuan set the time for capturing Huichuan within five days. As for the specific siege tactics, the first battle of Jianchang is the best model, as a high-spirited member of the staff office, the first battle of Jianchang was carefully summarized, a number of deficiencies were singled out, and then the measures for improvement were listed one by one. Before that, the Great Song Dynasty relied more on the personal ability of a general, and his strategic and tactical ability determined the direction of the war, and now, with this staff team, a command and dispatch team has been formed, and perhaps since then, excellent tactical commanders will continue to emerge in this staff team, and they will be generals who are well versed in teamwork.

What particularly gratified Chen Yujie was that this was a staff team of learning types, and they were eager to digest and absorb the essence of the new type of warfare through actual combat. It must be said that war is the best textbook, and after this war, these soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty made rapid progress in the use of firearms. Now Chen Yujie began to have a sense of crisis, and the tactics he knew were being pulled out little by little, such as the introduction of "infantry and artillery coordination", these colleagues quickly understood, and then new problems were raised, Chen Yujie was worried that maybe after half a year and a year, he would never be able to come up with new tricks in front of them.

Chen Yujie's worries are of course superfluous, in fact, these rookies are now at the stage of being very curious about the new tactics, and after seeing the power of the 75mm gun, they thought it was a miraculous weapon, and this alone was enough for these people to digest it for a while.

It is said that this Huichuan Mansion was still under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty in the early Tang Dynasty, and it was occupied by Nanzhao after the Anshi Rebellion, and later Dali replaced Nanzhao, and Huichuan Mansion belonged to Dali. Huichuan Prefecture was later known as Huili, and it was a famous mineral town. He Chi'an had been muttering for a long time, claiming that other places could not be occupied, but Huili must occupy it. Nothing else, just because it will produce "white copper", and this "white copper" is actually a copper-nickel alloy. In later generations, Huili 901 mine is one of the most important nickel mines in the country, and nickel metal is an important strategic resource, regardless of the barrel and barrel, after mixing with nickel, the indicators will be greatly improved, so, in addition to Lu Yijian, He Chi'an is also an active advocate of war against Dali.

The defenders of Huichuan are only 4,000, and with the young men in the city, they can also make up 10,000 people, but the morale of the army in the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty is high at this time, and the gap in weapons is like a world apart, so Guo Ni doesn't take Huichuan Mansion in his eyes at all.

Guo Ni was not satisfied with Staff Officer Tang's battle plan, and advocated sending troops to besiege Huichuan Mansion on the one hand, and sending another army to advance to the front line of the Jinsha River on the other hand, threatening the Moutong Mansion.

After Guo Ni finished foaming at the mouth, Xin Qiji gestured with his eyes, and now it is time for your deputy chief of staff to express his opinion.

Chen Yujie cleared his throat, this action was based on the smell of betel nut in this room, just now, even Xin Qiji also threw a piece of betel nut into his mouth, and at this time he was chewing the "panda" betel nut gracefully, making Chen Yujie also feel that his mouth was blocked with a ball of betel nut fiber. Okay, concentrate on consciousness, don't be distracted by betel nut, Chen Yujie said with a little wording:

"Since the army marched, limited by the plateau topography of Jianchang and Huichuan, as well as the mountains and rivers, it was not easy to transport grain and grass. The deeper our army goes, the more difficult it is to transport grain and grass. I think that in fighting Dali, it is of course very important for the two armies to fight in front of the formation, but with our army's huge superiority in weapons, it should not be difficult to defeat the Dali army, which is not high in combat power in front of the formation. Yes, to completely defeat Dali, I still say the same thing, it depends on our ability to transport grain and grass and military supplies, that is to say, how far our logistics can support the transportation of grain and grass and military supplies, how far our army can fight! On the contrary, if our logistics cannot keep up, and the food and grass cannot be transported in time, then our army should march cautiously. ”

"What Deputy Chief of Staff Chen said is good, from Jianchang to Huichuan, and then to Moutongfu, this road is crisscrossed by mountains and rivers, and our army has insufficient mules and horses, so we can only use a large number of civilian workers, even so, it is still difficult to meet the needs of the front line for the transportation of grain, grass and ordnance. As the saying goes, if you can't reach it quickly, it is better for our army to advance steadily step by step. ”

Xin Qiji recalled that back then, he followed Geng Jing, how prosperous the army was at the beginning, how quickly it declined, and now he is the commander, it is the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, this time it is a very rare opportunity to be able to lead the army, of course, there is no room for irreparable defeat, it is based on this idea, Xin Qiji's preferred method of battle is to fight steadily.

It's right to think about it! If he fails, Xin Qiji's honor and disgrace are small, and I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty, which has just worked hard, will return to the old road of "fear of war". Knowing well the abandonment of the ecology of the Great Song Dynasty, it is natural that he cannot but take this into account.

That's right! "I'd rather stop for three points than grab a second!" Xin Dashuai, I'm optimistic about you!

After Xin Qiji finished speaking, Guo Ni still wanted to say something, but at this time, there was a report outside the door, and then he saw the telegraph operator come in with a telegram.

"Report, Bi met the ministry again."

"Read!" After Xin Qijian finished explaining, he casually spit out the betel nut residue in his mouth to the ground, Chen Yujie said in his heart, my Xin Dashuai, there is really a rough gangsterism! Of course, rough is to say it nicely, but not to say it well, you are too handsome.

I don't know what the content of Bi Zaiyu's telegram is, it should be good news. This Bi Zaiyu is also known as a famous general in history, during the Kaixi Northern Expedition, when other generals of the Great Song Dynasty were pushed back again and again by the Jin soldiers, Bi Zaiyu's table was very eye-catching, and it was one of the few highlights among the generals of the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, that's a story for later. But a famous general is a famous general, according to Chen Yujie's observation, this General Bi really has two brushes, and he has a good army, even in terms of firearms training, he is not lagging behind at all.

"Our unit has arrived at Huichuan Mansion along the way, and the defenders of Huichuan are holding on behind closed doors, and our army is deploying to encircle."

It turned out to be Huichuan, but the original task was to arrive at Huichuan as a vanguard, guard on the spot, wait for the follow-up armies, and then encircle, but I didn't expect this Bi Zaiyu to want to use 3,000 soldiers to encircle Huichuan!

But Xin Qiji just nodded, and did not mean to criticize Bi Zaiyu, maybe in his mind, it was nothing for the three thousand strong Song troops to encircle Huichuan City, even if there were more than 10,000 enemy troops in Huichuan City! In fact, since it was determined that gnawing betel nut can prevent miasma, Xin Dashuai has given his team's combat power a general increase of one level. In Xin Qiji's eyes, even if there are 10,000 of these miscellaneous armies in Dali, I am afraid that they may not be the opponents of the 3,000 Song army that Bi meets again.

To say, the self-confidence of the Great Song generals is really bursting now, and even Xin Qiji, who seeks stability, is no exception.

"The order was given, and the follow-up troops entered Huichuan as quickly as possible and surrounded it. The order is that we must ensure the supply of grain and grass and military supplies at the front, and Deputy Chief of Staff Chen is right, we can only win the war if we can transport it. After that, a smile swelled up at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Dali people are strong and clear, and they want to be beautiful!" They didn't think that we had Japanese laborers this time, and these Japanese people took less and did more, hehe, with these laborers, the logistical problem is not a problem. Ha ha! ”
