Chapter 489: Sneak Attack on Grain and Grass? It's better to intersperse the winding!
The division commander's face was very excited when he spoke, as if he had seen the Xingluo army crying for his father and mother, and running away.
Waiting for reinforcements?
Qian Nawei's thin willow eyebrows were raised, and she looked at the commander of the third division.
"Master Zu, do you know where the reinforcements are now?"
The commander of the third division was stunned.
"Uh, isn't this what you know, His Royal Highness Prince Wei?"
The military operations of the Wuhun Empire are now in a state of secrecy, and even if it is the division commander, this ancestral division commander does not know about it now.
Qian Nawei nodded and spoke slowly.
"There are three reinforcements from the Wuhun Empire, first of all, the 200,000 cavalry directly sent by Heaven Dou City, directly commanded by me, led by General Mo Shengnan, has already arrived at the upper position of Fasno Province, and there are still two days from here."
As she spoke, Qian Nawei took out a cavalry clay figure from under the table and pushed it with a push rod to the position above the province of Fasno.
When she was done, she took out another infantry clay figurine and placed it on the map near the east side.
"Secondly, 100,000 infantry from the eastern provinces will arrive tonight because it is by train, and the speed is very fast."
Ge Long sat at the bottom of Qiannawei's right, frowning slightly.
"Prince Wei, what about the 200,000 cavalry? Didn't Your Majesty say that a total of 300,000 elite soldiers were transferred from the six surrounding provinces? ”
Qiannawei smiled softly.
"Marshal Goron, don't worry, I was about to say."
Then, Qian Nawei took out a cavalry clay figure from under the table and placed it near the Wuhun Empire's face, the middle line of the north and south, and at the same time, her eyes became a little expectant.
"In the end, 200,000 cavalry were drawn from the direction of Utan City, led by the new general Meng De, which was slow and took seven days to arrive."
Notting City is located in the south of the Wuhun Empire, that is, to the southeast, and it takes longer to draw troops from the central and western regions.
Arriving here, Qian Nawei looked at the commander of the third division who had spoken earlier and asked.
"Master Zu, it will take seven days for the 200,000 cavalry from the Midwest to arrive, if according to what you said, we have been waiting here for seven days, if you are the commander of the Star Luo Empire, what will you do?"
"Uh......"
The patriarch scratched his head, turned his eyes to the left, thought for a moment, touched his chin with one hand, and hesitated to answer.
"If it's me...... I have suffered such a big loss in Notting City, I will definitely be frightened, and I will not dare to attack easily, let alone take the initiative to provoke the Martial Spirit Empire......
And if you don't do anything, then you can only wait for the Wuhun Empire to shell and bomb, like this...... I can't take it, therefore! ”
The look on the patriarch's face became affirmative.
"I will definitely strengthen my defenses and step up the manufacture of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow to deal with the attack of the Martial Spirit Empire!"
In the first place, Qian Nawei smiled and nodded, and asked jokingly: "Then Patriarch, do you know how many Zhuge Divine Crossbows you can make in seven days?" And how you'll strengthen your defenses. ”
"Uh......"
The patriarch scratched his head again, and this time, his eyes were directly on the table, frowning, and his head was slightly pinched.
"I don't know how many Zhuge Divine Crossbows there are, but the spy report said that the Xingluo army only has 10,000 Tang family troops, so the number should not be particularly large, as for the reinforcement of defenses, ......"
Patriarch's fingers moved slightly, his brows furrowed, and he looked up at Qian Nawei.
"If it were me, I would choose to lay an ambush on the path of the Wuhun Empire to block it, and at the same time, the power of the Wuhun Empire's artillery and bombers is too terrifying, I will definitely send spies into the city to investigate.
In addition, the city can be strengthened as much as possible, if necessary, I will also let the soldiers and the civilians of Longxing City mix, the people of Longxing City are the people who originally belonged to the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, if the Wuhun Empire fires, it will inevitably be infamy.
And if you don't open the artillery, you can avoid the risk of the army being bombarded by shelling, as for the desperate artillery of the Wuhun Empire, these are the people to whom the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom belongs, and they are not distressed when they die, and it is worth it to pull on the back. ”
When she heard the last sentence, Qian Nawei frowned, but then stretched out again.
Qian Nawei was very angry in her heart about this behavior of using the people as a shield, but what the patriarch said was hypothetical after all, and she didn't really do it.
And whether the Star Luo Empire will do this, she believes, most likely not.
The reason for this is that Tang San is there.
Tang San is a very sanctimonious person, and the more sanctimonious a person is, the more serious he is about the issue of reputation, and he will not easily use unarmed civilians as shields.
After thinking about it in her heart, Qian Nawei had already made a decision, and she faced everyone and issued orders.
"From today onwards, the whole army will be repaired, and when the cavalry team of Utan City arrives, it will start to move, the infantry and cavalry will be mixed into a team, and the artillery will be placed at the end, steadily and steadily, slowly advancing in the direction of Longxing City step by step, and sweeping away the suspicious ambush sites on the road......"
Qian Nawei wanted to continue, but at this time, Ge Long actually raised his hand.
"Marshal Goron, do you have any proposals?"
Qiannawei looked at Goron.
Ge Long nodded and touched the not very long beard on his chin.
"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Wei, there is a plan below, that is, we have a large number of cavalry, why don't we divide five thousand and go to a sneak attack to burn the enemy's grain and grass and cut off their supplies, how about it?"
When the other officers heard this, they all nodded approvingly, looking at Goron with admiration in their eyes.
However, Qian Nawei didn't nod, her brows furrowed.
Sneak attack on supply lines, burn grain and grass?
This seems to be indeed a clever plan, the Star Luo Empire is still using oxen to pull people to push grain and grass, not to mention the slow speed, the supply line is very long, stretching for hundreds of kilometers!
With such a long line, the defense of the large rear cannot be very strong, and it will be broken as soon as it attacks.
But!
Qian Nawei's eyes narrowed.
Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Monsters will go to protect it! Qian Nawei remembered very well that the fact before crossing was that Ju Douluo sneaked up on the grain transportation line and was killed by Tang San in one fell swoop.
If you really divide your troops and go around 5,000 to attack the grain road, it is estimated that there will be no scum left......
Thinking of this, Qian Nawei was ready to reject Goron's proposal.
But at this moment, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind!
That's right, around the back!
Interspersed with rear-end encirclement and strikes, the best strategy and tactics that have been verified from ancient times to the present, whether it is the Battle of Changping in ancient China, or the Mongol annihilation of the Song Dynasty, or the Soviet-German War, they have been tried and tested repeatedly.
This tactic is to bring out a part of the superior forces that move quickly, quickly bypass the enemy's frontal battle line, detour back to the enemy's rear, occupy a narrow passage or pass, and encircle the enemy.
Among them, the encirclement should not be too small at one time, because once the encirclement is too narrow, the enemy army will not see the hope of breaking through, and will break the net and fight back desperately.
In this way, even if you can surround the enemy army, you will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, and the gains outweigh the losses.
It is also said in the art of war that the initial encirclement should give the enemy a certain amount of room to maneuver, so that it constantly harbors the illusion that it "can break through the encirclement," and then constantly compresses the encirclement in a small area, eats away at its vital strength, and at the same time inflicts a double blow on the spirit and psychology.
And when the enemy's food and grass are exhausted, morale is low, and even when there is a mutiny, then give it a fatal blow, and at that time, it will be effortless to capture!
Thinking in her heart, Qian Nawei's eyes were a little excited, she looked at the map, took out another cavalry clay figure from under the table, put it on the table, and pushed it with a push rod to a mountain pass at the junction of the original Häagen-Dazs Kingdom and the Star Luo Empire.
And just as she pushed the cavalry clay figure to the mountain pass, under the conference table, the commander of the Ninth Division "Hiss! He took a breath of cool air, his eyes glared fiercely, and his body leaned back a little.
Häagen-Dazs Pass, a pass named after the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, is the original border between Häagen-Dazs and the Star Luo Empire, and is also a natural barrier to protect the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs.
And the topography of the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, looking down from Notting City, looks like a somewhat elongated basin.
Among them, one of the eight cities of the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom is in the Tianling Mountains in the east, and the rest are all in the middle.
There are some small towns in the west, but none of them are important, and besides, there is a dense Star Dou Great Forest to the west, and no one will settle in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Therefore, as long as this mountain pass of the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs is captured, it is equivalent to forming a huge ...... hundreds of kilometers long and more than 100 kilometers wide Encirclement!
At that time, let alone food, no one will want to get out of the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs alive!
But......
The commander of the Ninth Division frowned, looked at the map, hugged his chest with his left hand, and pinched his chin with the index finger and thumb of his right hand.
"His Royal Highness Prince Wei, I understand that you want to form a large-scale encirclement after a large-scale interspersed circle, but after forming an encirclement, the seven cities in the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom are not so easy to capture.
Even if we besiege it, the enemy army may plunder the food of the people, and once they send out reserves to counter-encircle the defenders of our Häagen-Dazs Pass, we may steal chickens and rice, and lose our wife and lose our troops. ”
Plundering, a compulsory course for all officers, as the name suggests, is to rob and plunder the rations of enemy civilians, not only to rob the grain, but also to rob the population.
At this point, Mr. Kong Ming in ancient China did the best job, every time the Northern Expedition, or an attack on Cao Cao's territory, Kong Ming would rob the people of Cao Cao's army of food, not only food, but also people!
Historically, there are records of Mr. Kong Ming forcibly relocating people from the north to the Sichuan and Shu regions many times.
Mr. Kong Ming has been famous for centuries, but this is the only one that has been stinking for thousands of years.
However, this method is really easy to use, and after being used in all dynasties, it can't escape the law of true fragrance.
And on the side of Douluo Continent, it is still in the era of cold weapons, and this compulsory course is of course for every officer.
