Section 452 Calculations before the decisive battle
Bai Minghe was extremely embarrassed by Yu Qian's words, but before he could fight back, he heard Yu Qian say again: "Although General Zhu died in battle, there is still good news. ”
"What kind of good news?" Bai Minghe hurriedly asked.
"The Armageddon is in ten days, and not everyone has an artifact like Tianyin. So I can say for sure that it must be calculated according to time, with Shanhaiguan on one side and Ningxiawei on the other. Then Da Ming will definitely be chaotic in his eyes, and he can't know the real information. ”
"Why?" Bai Minghe asked rhetorically.
Yu Qian smiled and asked rhetorically: "Do you think that if you don't rely on the Tianyin machine, how long will you be able to know about Nanjing." That's it, because you know too much about the Celestial Sound Machine, and you trust it in your bones. I even suspect that you know much more about the Celestial Sound Machine than the people in the Xingshou Academy. ”
Shirakawaru lowered his head and did not answer.
"Also, all your plans have a precondition that you can exchange information at least once a day. Of course, this qiē is not important, the important thing is that you don't know the real war, the real war before the Tianyin machine, you either know the strategy, you know the tactics, but you don't know how to fight the battle without the Tianyin machine! ”
Bai Minghe nodded vigorously, what Yu Qian said was not wrong at all, there was no telegram Bai Minghe really didn't know how to command the army.
You must know that at present, the army of the Ming Dynasty is scattered, and if you use horses to transmit messages, it will take half a month at most.
Add to that the reply, and a month is wasted on the road.
Thinking of this, the white crane reacted.
"Figured it out. Once you figure it out, you don't need to explain, and it's estimated that it's within five days' journey, and the result of my analysis is that he's coming for us, how are you going to fight? ”
Yu Qian did not explain. Shira-nae Crane also figured it out.
In ancient times, wars were planned in advance and then commanded on the spot by generals who led troops.
There used to be a negative textbook that when Sui Yangguang went out to Goryeo, any battle plan needed to be reported to him, and then the generals in front had almost no rights, and the time on the road alone made the Great Sui army waste countless fighters, of course, this was not the whole reason for the failure. But it was also an important reason for the defeat of the Great Sui.
At present, a comprehensive arrangement must have been made.
It was impossible for him to wait for a reply from Shanhaiguan and Ningxia Zhongwei, what he had to do was to make these two places chaotic, and then lead the army straight into the Central Plains again to grab enough things.
Therefore, he didn't care about the battle situation on both sides, he just needed the Ming army's combat strength to be weak enough in front of him.
"Lord Yu, head-to-head confrontation or big encirclement?"
"It depends on how ambitious you are, and it depends on our analysis of Yexian. It's a gambling process. Of course, there is a technical bet. Yu Qian's words Bai Minghe understood, and the two got up and walked towards the big tent.
Once again, the telegraph signal began to flutter in the night sky of the Ming Dynasty.
It was destined to be a sleepless night.
Calculate the time and route of the possible attack first. It's a calculation, and it's a gamble.
The first to receive the telegram was the Left Forward Battalion, which had only one order: Hold on! The left army was not allowed to support the left front, and was fully assisted by the troops sent by the various guards, not seeking victory, but only dragging the enemy to death.
After receiving the telegram, Fan Liang said to General Ningxia Zhongwei, who came to support him: "It is estimated that the main force has been found first." The left and right armies should go around behind enemy lines for a large encirclement, and the front army should be responsible for dragging the enemy. After the Chinese army completed the encirclement, it was responsible for the main combat mission, and we ...... "Fan Liang did not elaborate, but just stretched out his hand and pointed outside the camp gate.
Here, there are at least 100,000 troops in Turpan, and the grain and grass have not been destroyed.
No matter how little they bring out. It must be enough for the army to eat for another ten days and half a month, plus so many camels killed in the First World War, these things can also be used as food. This is the battlefield, not so elaborate place. It was Fan Liang who snatched back the carcasses of hundreds of camels, and there was still a big pot of camel meat boiling in the camp.
"Nope. They don't have much food. "The general of Ningxia Zhongwei is very confident.
Fan Liang was puzzled, and the general of Ningxia Zhongwei said with a smile: "General Fan, you are very familiar with the Datong area, but I have lived here for forty years, and I have been here since I was a child. Please come out with me! ”
The general of the Ningxia Zhongwei took Fan Liang to the carcass of a camel, cut the camel with a knife in front of Fan Liang, and then told Fan Liang his analysis of the viewpoint.
First of all, these camels have almost reached their limit, and the camels themselves have run out of water.
Then the camels can go without eating or drinking for a long time, but there is also an upper limit to the amount of time that these camels have been hungry for a long time.
"Also, there is not enough water here, let alone camels, and not even enough people to drink, so they can't go back, even if they bring more food. Next, there isn't enough to burn, so can the raw grain be used for cooking? So what they bring must be cooked food, this weather, how much cooked food there is, how long can it be kept. Add to that not enough fire, not enough water, and they're done. ”
Fan Liang nodded, he really didn't have a high enough understanding of the desert.
"Persuasion, not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will definitely be. General Fan, you have already rescued in Ningxiawei, plus our soldiers here, as long as there are more than 30,000 people, they can't stand it. ”
Fan Liang didn't speak, and the general said: "The credit for this qiē is all from your pioneer battalion, and in this battle, you killed nearly a thousand people, and everyone was wounded. But the enemy army with your numbers can barely parry, and almost lost food and grass. There are more than 10,000 people on my side, and I guess there will be more people coming tomorrow. The combat power on my side is too far behind you, General Fan, but they don't know, so they will be afraid. ”
This is the reason, the enemy army doesn't know that these people who come are not as good as the people on Fan Liang's side.
Then there seems to be a chance to persuade you to surrender.
Fan Liang hurriedly reported this idea, because persuasion to surrender must be negotiated conditions, and this kind of condition is not something that Fan Liang can call the shots, or the commanders of Ningxia Wei are not qualified. If you say that you ask for the upper peak, then the Tianyin machine will blow up, do you dare to do this?
Wu Yingdian was discussing the possible route of travel, as well as the speed.
"Hooray, this is a gamble. We have three options, one is to go head-to-head, so that we will definitely defeat the enemy army, but the enemy army will definitely flee after it is broken. According to the idea of the Lord and the White Crane, this time it is a war of annihilation, and it is necessary to destroy the enemy's living force. ”
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "The white crane is surnamed Bai, once Wu Anjun killed prisoners for the Qin State, and the white crane will definitely kill and injure the living force of the tile spur for my Ming Dynasty." I support that. ”
"Hooray, if this is the case, the first combat plan will be denied. The second type is the semi-encirclement, which may kill a lot, but this depends on luck. The third kind of total encirclement is a battle to the death, our army's casualties will definitely not be less, but it will definitely defeat the remnants of the Tile, and this battle will at least destroy hundreds of thousands of enemy troops! ”
"Since you have to fight, how can you keep your hands!" Zhu Qiyu supported Yu Qian's battle of the Great Encirclement of the White Crane from the top of his principles.
Several veteran generals discussed for a while, and then discussed with Hu Hu, Gao Gu and others, and then reported again: "Long live, if the calculation is wrong, the left army, or the right army, encounters the enemy's main force, then it may fall into a melee." ”
While they were discussing, a telegram came in.
"Long live, Lord Yu Qian proposed a plan called Whirlwind."
"Tell me more!"
"Lord Yu plans to use himself as bait, take 20,000 elite soldiers and set off into the grassland now, and then meet the main force of Yexian and be surrounded. Next, the rest of the troops will carry out a second encirclement of the troops that can be used, which can be the most effective way to hit the enemy army, or even completely annihilate. ”
Li Xian's was full of admiration when he reported.
It's not just Li Xian, but everyone who hears this plan admires it.
admire Yu Qian's courage and admiration for the loyalty of Da Ming.
But who would have thought, Zhu Qiyu slapped the table hard: "Call back, I'm not allowed!" Zhu Qiyu stepped down from the throne in a few steps and said directly to the eunuch in charge of the telegraph: "Reprimand, I am not allowed." I do not allow the pillars of the country to risk alone, this plan is strictly forbidden and must not be carried out, you must carefully calculate and choose the route of the great encirclement. ”
The telegram here has been occupied, and Fan Liang's report cannot be delivered.
And Wu Yingzhan's connection with the Chinese military camp cannot give way to any line.
Yu Qian and Bai Minghe saw the reprimanded callback, and sighed at the same time. Bai Minghe said: "In my name, 20,000 soldiers are all elite, and the strongest ordnance is gathered in 20,000 people. It is enough to deal with the strong attack of 400,000 people for half a month, and the minister has enough confidence to face it first, and he will die first. ”
Bai Minghe's telegram reached Wuyingdian, and Zhu Qiyu was moved on the one hand and angry on the other.
Moved naturally because of Yu Qian and Bai Minghe's loyalty to Daming, the reason for their anger is that they don't know that I care about them very much, if there is any mistake in taking risks alone, this is Daming's loss.
"Rebuke again!" Zhu Qiyu commanded.
Hu Hu got up and persuaded: "Long live, don't scold first, it's better to see what the other ministries have to say, find an urgent matter to contact the Chinese army, slow down this matter, and let a few old generals come up with an alternative plan." The old minister can understand the deep heart of Lord Yu and the white crane to annihilate the enemy. ”
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Reasonable!" ”
Hu Hui's suggestion is more subtle, and if he insists on arguing, Yu Qian can use the general as an excuse to forcibly carry out his plan.
Zhu Qian used himself as a bomb and achieved great success. This would be if Yu Qian was using himself as bait. It can definitely force the Ming army of the entire Northern Expedition to an extremely crazy state, and the soldiers and ordinary captains will only have the determination to fight.
