"Your plan reminds me of the plan of the former Sui. During the pre-Sui period, the first expedition to Goryeo was not lost in the city of Liaodong, so a special force of 300,000 troops was sent to attack Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. You didn't find out? Your plan is the same as it was back then, and the weaknesses are the same. The 300,000 troops of the Sui Dynasty were lured deep by the enemy, and then because the logistics could not be replenished, they were starved for a few days to fight the enemy. In the end, the hundreds of thousands of troops could only return more than 2,000 people, and the rest were killed and captured, and now most of them are also dead. ”

"Therefore, the biggest loophole in your plan is that once you penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland, the logistics of the assault on Pyongyang will not be able to supply at all. Therefore, once there is a shortage of food on the front line, there are all kinds of bows and arrows, which is an irresponsible situation for our front-line troops! ”

Jingwen very unceremoniously pointed out this loophole, that is, the transportation capacity in ancient times was very poor, and it was impossible to keep up with the raiding army. Although it is said that the three armies did not move the grain and grass first, this also shows that the speed of grain and grass logistics supply cannot keep up with the speed of the front-line troops. At present, the combat speed of front-line troops has always been much faster than the speed of logistics supply, and there are many examples in history of failure due to the inability to obtain supplies due to the inability to obtain supplies alone. This cannot be solved in a short period of time, unless it is possible to use airplanes to airdrop supplies.

However, airdropping airplanes is not a long-term solution, and even the United States, which has a lot of money in later generations, will not use airplanes to transport all the supplies of its troops. Because aircraft refueling consumes a lot of fuel, and various losses are not small. And it is also possible that the airdrop will be airdropped on the enemy's positions, which is also a very big problem. Therefore, because the conditions for airdropping supplies by aircraft are too strict and the consumption is too large, it is mainly based on land transportation. However, land transport often failed to keep up with the speed of troop advances.

This plan completely ignores the logistical problems, which is why it has very strict consequences. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did this before, wanting to send troops into the hinterland of Goguryeo. Then he tried to conquer Pyongyang and then force Goguryeo to surrender. But the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, the 300,000 army because of the logistics supply can not keep up, plus the enemy lured the enemy deep into the cut off supply, and finally starved for a few days to fight the Goguryeo, as a result, they were slaughtered one after another, and only a few thousand were able to run back. 300,000 people have only returned a few thousand, which has to be said to be a huge loss.

Now that someone is proposing this kind of similar plan, Jingwen is really so angry that his nose is crooked. Jingwen, a soldier who became a monk halfway, understood that under such logistical conditions, it was simply impossible to penetrate into the enemy's hinterland and attack the capital. If a small number of troops can also be solved by means of warfare. But that's 10,000 people! It is impossible to conceal the actions of 10,000 people, so if the enemy is all strong and clear all the way and does not fight you, then you may not be able to get supplies, so you will starve to death!

Jingwen was finally convinced by the best staff officers under him. This kind of guy just wants to be grandstanding, because his mother wants to come up with a battle plan that looks awe-inspiring and then be appreciated by the officers above. In this way, you will be able to get promoted. But in fact, these plans seem to be good, but they can't stand scrutiny at all, and if you analyze them carefully, they are full of loopholes. So Jingwen naturally doesn't pay attention to this kind of guy, after all, how much ink is in the stomach of this kind of sensationalist guy. This one is very doubtful.

"You don't have to think about anything for me to come up with an amazing plan all at once, you have to think about it in light of the reality of our army. It's like what you just said, you want to use cannons. But you don't even understand the specific parameters of the cannon, so you want to use the cannon? Cannon heavy. You don't know, so you don't understand the actual purpose of the artillery, so you take it for granted that you can take the cannon to attack Pyongyang. But in fact, it doesn't make sense. You guys don't think about logistics at all! ”

Jingwen was finally speechless for these guys, this is also a characteristic of ancient times, ancient times attached importance to fighting, but Yan zhòng despised logistics. The troops and officials in charge of logistics are all "leftovers", either because they are relatively weak or the quality of the soldiers is not good, so they will be despised. And the result of not paying attention to logistics for a long time is that winning the battle is the credit of the front-line battlefield, and if they lose, the responsibility is pushed to the logistics department, and as a result, the logistics personnel bear the blame for the front. They also don't want to think about it, can those ordinary logistics soldiers be competent for the tasks assigned by their superiors? Therefore, these staff officers also subconsciously ignored logistics, and starting from the logistics aspect was also a key point in the ancient battlefield.

In ancient times, there were often sneak attacks on grain and grass, and what tactics to cut off supply lines, but why did this tactic become so popular? In fact, it is the ancient generals who did not pay attention to logistics, so this tactic became popular. If the ancient generals paid attention to logistics, then this tactic would not be useful at all. For ancient generals, logistics is something that they usually don't pay attention to and are temporarily clinging to. Only when they are in danger will they think of cutting off other people's logistical supplies to win. If you are strong, it is easy to ignore logistics. This was the case with the Sui Dynasty back then, when a million-strong army marched to Goguryeo, but the logistical problems were a mess, so they lost the war. If the logistics of the Sui Dynasty could be more powerful, then I am afraid that Goguryeo would not be able to stay now.

What made Jingwen vomit blood the most was these staff officers, who still despised logistics and supplies so much, and made plans but ignored the most important logistics, how terrible is this! Jingwen is sure that if he goes out according to this guy's plan, the 10,000 army will not have to come back, and I am afraid that the Goguryeo people will eat not even the bones. When the time comes, I am afraid that this staff officer who came up with the idea will not have any responsibility at all, and he can shirk the problem of the logistics troops. But in fact, the biggest responsibility is that he didn't consider the logistics in making the plan, so he ended up like this. In ancient times, logistics officials were the masters who carried the black pot for those combat officers, and when they lost the battle, they pushed it on them!

But Jingwen, as a descendant, doesn't know the real reason for this! Many times it was the officers who gave the logistics officers a lot of tasks beyond their capabilities, so this caused them to be unable to complete them, and then the officers again put the blame on them, which is indeed a bit wronged.
