897. Battle Plan (1)
Two hours later, Jingwen returned to the main camp of the military department from his tent, and then wanted to see what kind of battle plan these guys had made. And those staff officers immediately took out their battle plan and handed it to Jing Wen, they obviously wanted to sell their battle plan. As long as you can make a battle plan and be appreciated by your superiors, you may be able to rise to the top. As such a high-level military organization, many times it is all by formulating an excellent battle plan to gain the appreciation of their superiors, so they are all the same.
"Your Excellency, my staff team plans to use most of the troops to contain the enemy's main force and make a feint, and then send a small number of people to penetrate directly into the Middle Palace and conquer Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. As long as we can conquer Pyongyang, then we can also spread the word to Goguryeo. A staff officer said.
And Jingwen took a look at this plan, and the core of this plan is the "decapitation operation". And send the main force to feign the enemy's main force, want to make a decisive battle with the enemy, and then send a small number of troops to attack the enemy's capital, and then as long as the capital is conquered, it can be called a pass. And Jingwen looked at this plan, even Jingwen, who has not experienced much actual combat, found that there seemed to be something wrong with this plan!
"How did you come up with that specific plan to attack the enemy's capital?" Jingwen asked.
And the staff officer immediately said: "This also depends on the front-line commanders themselves, and the minister also said when he formulated the staff system, we must make a plan a little rougher, so that the front-line generals can have room to play their own role." We don't think too much about it in the rear, because we don't know the situation at the front, so we mainly rely on the front line to play on our own. And I directly asked an elite unit to sneak attack the enemy's capital Pyongyang, then the specific plan to attack Pyongyang can be solved by the front line. β
But Jingwen looked at this guy, but suddenly scolded: "You idiot! β
Everyone was confused by Jingwen's words. Because they didn't expect Jingwen to directly scold him for being an idiot, this is obviously scolding. And no one thought of anything wrong, because this plan was actually the core idea of many ancient times. The core of this battle plan is to mobilize a large number of troops, and then confront the enemy's main force head-on. Later, elite troops were sent to attack the enemy's capital and defeat the enemy's command center, which is also known as winning by surprise. But this plan, which seemed to be very good, was sprayed with "idiot" by Jingwen, and obviously everyone was confused. Such a "good" plan. was actually sprayed by the leader?
"I'm just going to ask you a few questions, and you can answer them for me! First of all, Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, is not close to us, and if we send a large army to attack, we will be very tired when we arrive first. And this surprise force must be fast, so that the enemy cannot detect and send troops to support. Of course we can use cavalry, but cavalry is not good at siege. Moreover, there are three catties of nails in the rotten ship, and although Goguryeo is not a strong country, it is their capital defense force. And what other relatively high cities, how can you attack them so easily? β
Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, is also the capital of a country, so how can it not have many means of defense? Even if the army was transferred, the tall walls would be enough to defend for a long time. And the most that was sent out was a small army of 10,000 people. What can 10,000 people do with such a tall city? Therefore, it may be a little difficult to exclude the sneak attack of the elite soldiers on the city of Goguryeo.
"The combat effectiveness of my Datang army is unparalleled in the world, 10,000 people is enough!" The staff officer said again.
And Jing Wen immediately said: "How do you know that my Datang's combat power is unparalleled in the world?" Then Goguryeo, how do you know that they are not as good as our Tang Dynasty? β
And the staff officer immediately said: "My Datang is the first power in the world." How can a soldier not be able to defeat a small country? β
"I'll you, how do you judge that my Datang army is strong in combat? Let me ask you, did my Tang army fight Goguryeo head-on? I'm talking about the frontal combat of the large corps. Did you say there were? And if you look at the only battle between the Central Plains and the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo's combat effectiveness is still very good. The Sui Dynasty fought three times back then, who do you say is more powerful in this one? Moreover, our Datang has no experience in fighting, so it is naturally impossible to judge the enemy's combat effectiveness. Do you want to prove the enemy's combat effectiveness by counting jΓΉ on paper? This one is a fart. You didn't even figure out the number of the enemy's combat power, so you made this sneak attack plan, what do you want me to say? You're not sneaking up, you're taking a risk, risking the lives of more than 10,000 troops. Jingwen scolded angrily.
"Then we can bring the cannon! As long as we have cannons, then we can conquer any wall, so that we are not afraid of any enemy. The staff officer said.
But Jingwen immediately complained: "You are a pig!" How many pounds is a cannon? Each cannon is at least a thousand pounds, can you follow the fast action? According to your plan, a small number of troops will attack Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, in the future, but this part of the army must be fast. However, the artillery is several thousand catties, and it is impossible for thirty cannons to rush to Pyongyang quickly. So, you're very problematic with this plan. The cannon doesn't work either, the cannon can't keep up anyway. Without artillery, it would have been impossible for more than 10,000 people to conquer the capital of Goguryeo. β
This plan was simply full of mistakes, first of all, without artillery, it would have been impossible to quickly storm the walls of the enemy's capital. If you want to bring a cannon, then I am afraid it will not work, because bringing a cannon means adding a lot of weight, but with so much weight, that kind of rushing cavalry cannot carry it at all. Although there are siege cannons without conscience, they also have a heavy weight when they run without conscience. Moreover, the unconscionable cannon has a great need for logistics, and it is not suitable as a cannon for such a sneak attack at all. Even if the city wall collapses, then the cavalry will enter the city next, and this may be very problematic. Once the cavalry enters the city, I am afraid that it will be blocked by various buildings, and it is not as good as the infantry! Therefore, this plan is too reckless, there is not much practical feasibility at all, but this plan is very risky, and one careless will lose tens of thousands of troops. (To be continued......)
