Chapter 1088, Emergency Meeting II

Watch in ten minutes

When talking about the four words of abnormal behavior, Zhao Guangfu paused slightly, and after seeing that everyone was paying attention to himself, he continued:

"Originally, I thought that after the Condor Army was frustrated in its attack on Yichang and Yiling, they would shift their attention to Jingzhou, Jiangling and other areas along the river near the river.

After all, it is not only an important transportation hub connecting the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, but also a strategic point of our Great Song Dynasty, and there is no reason for the Condor Navy not to harass these places after controlling the Yangtze River waterway.

If the Condor Navy thinks that this kind of painless harassment will achieve very little effect, and they disdain it, I can barely accept it, because the defenses in places such as Jingzhou and Jiangling are stronger than those in Yichang.

However, they did not harass Jingzhou and Jiangling, which were close at hand, but launched a large-scale riverbank invasion operation on the north bank of the Yangtze River from Huanggang to Wuwei, which made me very puzzled.

Most of these areas are backed by the Dabie Mountains and the Yangtze River to the south, and belong to the narrow corridor from Hubei to Anhui.

We have arranged a large number of fortress defense groups in the Lujiang area, is the enemy's move to cut off the connection between the Lujiang defenders and the rear and cut off their grain routes?

However, the grain and grass we stored in Lujiang are enough for the Lujiang defenders to eat for more than three years, plus the output of the area south of the Lujiang River, which can basically be self-sufficient, so I can't guess what the Condor Army wants to do?

Based on the fact that the Condor Army is so vigorous, it is impossible for them to do useless work, so please help me analyze what their real purpose is! ”

After listening to the information given by Zhao Guangfu, everyone in the conference room had a solemn expression, no one spoke, and everyone fell into deep thought.

After about ten minutes, Dongfang Ming took the lead in breaking the silence in the conference room.

After clearing his throat and attracting everyone's attention, Dongfang Ming said in a deep voice: "Everyone, after listening to the information provided by the three left-behind personnel, I think that according to the priority, we should now give priority to the battle on the Kaifeng battlefield, then consider the affairs of the Shangyong Passage and the Condor Army in Ningyuan, and finally consider the affairs of the Huanggang and Lujiang corridors.

I thought about it carefully just now, and we don't have any natural dangers to defend on the East Henan Plain, so we can only defend the city.

Our army is now relying on the county town of Lankao to engage in a tug-of-war with the orc army of the Dashi Kingdom.

According to the information given by Chairman Shui Ruyan, our army should be at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the two armies in the field, and now the reason why we can temporarily stop the enemy is completely by virtue of the indestructibility of Lankao County and the fact that there are more troops than the enemy.

If the enemy's reinforcements were to rush to Lankao's side, this delicate balance would likely be upset as our numerical superiority gradually diminished.

The advice given by Chairman Shui Ruyan was to abandon the county seat of Lankao, shrink the whole line to the Kaifeng area, and fight a general battle with the enemy there.

The walls of Kaifeng City are stronger and taller than Lankao City, and the area of the city is also several circles larger, and it is indeed easier to defend Kaifeng City than to defend Lankao City.

However, apart from the advantages in city defense, is there any essential difference between guarding Kaifeng and guarding Lankao?

Personally, I don't agree with abandoning the county town of Lankao, because once we take the initiative to retreat, then the morale of our army will inevitably be greatly affected.

Let's not forget that most of our aboriginal soldiers are from Henan, and the population of Henan is mainly concentrated in the eastern Henan Plain.

You only think about the benefits of defending Kaifeng on our side, but you don't consider the impact of abandoning Lankao on our aboriginal army.

I guess that many of the indigenous soldiers in the Lankao region are now fighting against the orc army of the Great Stone Kingdom.

At this time, if we directly order them to make a strategic shift, it will discourage them from fighting!

Yes, retreating to the Kaifeng area, our logistical supply line has been shortened, the enemy's logistical supply line has become longer, and our reinforcements can reach the battlefield faster, while the enemy needs longer.

However, these things do not play a decisive role in the victory or defeat of a war, and it is the soldiers who really decide the victory or defeat of the battle.

If the morale of an army is lost, then what if we have the best logistics conditions?

So I propose not to abandon Lankao County, but to continue to increase our troops there, and there we will fight a general battle with the enemy that will decide the fate of both armies.

Didn't the enemy send reinforcements to the front with an army of bears?

We don't have any orc heavy infantry legions on our side that can reinforce the front line, but we have other heavy infantry legions and cavalry legions, and our army is more numerous than the enemy.

That being the case, then why don't we fight an all-out war with the enemy in the Lankao area, combining defensive counterattack-style positions and maneuvers?

On the East Henan Plain, we have no natural danger to defend, is there a natural danger to defend on the side of the Dashi Kingdom?

There is only one battlefield, except for our respective armies, we and the enemy face the same natural situation, the enemy can oppress us, and we can also give them some pressure, because the enemy is not without any weaknesses.

A few years ago, we annihilated a wolf cavalry legion in the Dashi Kingdom, and that wolf cavalry legion is basically all the mobile forces of the other party, even if there are still a lot of reserve wolves in their country, it is impossible to fully recover in just a few years.

When I was thinking about this question just now, I had already asked a few player scouts who were in charge of scouting the enemy, and according to their generals, there were less than 30,000 wolf cavalry among the orc army dispatched by the Oshi Kingdom this time, and the rest were infantry.

Although there are already a lot of 30,000 wolf cavalry, it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to hold the huge eastern Henan Plain with these 30,000 wolf cavalry.

I now have an idea, that is, to build more walls, to accumulate grain, to step on the plains, and to bloom everywhere.

Building more walls is to surround the county town of Lankao, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we dig and build more fortifications, and then slowly fight the enemy with a large number of fortifications.

The meaning of the extensive grain accumulation is to immediately concentrate all transportation forces to transport grain and grass materials to Lankao County, and prepare to fight a protracted battle with the enemy there.

Even if the enemy defeats the army we have placed around the county town of Lankao, we will be able to hold out for a long time with the food we have hoarded in the city.

As long as the county town of Lankao is not lost, then we will never be defeated, because we can recapture those lost positions at any time, and even launch a direct counterattack on the enemy-occupied areas.

The horses stepping on the plains and blooming everywhere are to use the mobility of the cavalry to directly attack the Oshida Kingdom.

You heard it right, not later, but now let the cavalry legion launch an attack on the Oshishi Kingdom.

The terrain between Henan and Shandong is all plains, and we have no natural hazards to defend, and the same is true on the enemy's side.

Now that the elite of the Dashi Kingdom has been exhausted, and the wolf cavalry legion that has just recovered a trace of vitality has also poured out, their domestic defense force must be very weak.

Cavalry is an army that relies on mobility to eat, and their greatest role is to be able to quickly reach the position that makes the enemy uncomfortable and deliver a devastating blow to the enemy.

Our cavalry is now all cowering behind the line defending against the enemy's army of wolf cavalry.

Instead of letting them passively defend in the rear and be led by the nose of the enemy's wolf cavalry legion, why don't we let them take the initiative to attack and contain the nose of the enemy's wolf cavalry legion?

Since Ning Yuan was able to turn those traitors in Jiangsu and Anhui into horse thieves to harass us, then why couldn't we let our cavalry turn into pieces and turn into horse thieves to burn and loot in the enemy's territory?

The Condor Army did the first year of junior high school, can't we do fifteen?

Therefore, I suggest that we should immediately abandon the passive defensive strategy, and free up all our cavalry armies, so that they can take advantage of the mobility of the cavalry and go to the rear of the enemy to wreak havoc.

As long as our cavalry counterattack tactics can be successful, the enemy will definitely be unstable after the logistics supply lines and lair are seriously threatened, so as to reduce the pressure on the ground corps in Lankao County.

——————

I've thought of so much for the time being, so let's help me analyze whether this solution is feasible?

If so, is there anything else that needs to be added? ”

Dongfang Ming began to talk endlessly after he spoke.

After listening to Dongfang Ming's detailed analysis, many people in the conference room couldn't help but nod their heads frequently in agreement.

"President Dongfang, the infantry you mentioned is holding the position, and the tactics of the cavalry's all-out counterattack are indeed beyond the expectations of many people, we can't think of it, and it should be difficult for Ning Yuan to think of it either.

But if I'm not mistaken, last time we also sent cavalry to threshing grass in the territory of the Great Stone Kingdom, and then that time the Silver Pegasus Knights of the Condor Empire directly intervened and drove our cavalry regiment out.

If the Condor Empire continues to intervene this time, I'm worried that it will be difficult for your plan to achieve much success. ”

Soon, objections were raised.

After glancing at the guy who raised the objection, Dongfang Ming replied murderously: "Last time, we were worried that the cavalry would suffer too many losses, so we let them retreat.

This time we are all burning eyebrows, maybe we will be wiped out by the enemy, do we care about the loss of some cavalry?

Besides, most of the Silver Pegasus Knights of the Condor Empire are on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and although Ning Yuan has drawn out some of them, that part is also on the side of Nanzhang County.

Without the threat of the Silver Pegasus Knights, what else can the enemy threaten the army of our Elven Archers?

Even Ning Yuan would transfer a legion of elven archers from the Condor Empire to help the Great Stone Kingdom, could it be that the elven archers of the Condor Empire are elite, and our elven archers are not?

As long as there is no intervention of the Silver Pegasus Knights, our cavalry regiment is not afraid of the cavalry regiment of the Condor Empire at all.

If Ning Yuan really brought in the cavalry regiment of the Condor Empire to help, it would be just a good time for players to see whose cavalry regiment was stronger. ”

For the Elven Archer Legion of the Northern Expedition Alliance, Dongfang Ming is very confident, except for the Silver Pegasus Knights of the Condor Empire, which restrains all ground troops, Dongfang Ming is not afraid of any other army of the Condor Empire at all.

So when someone saw this elven archer army under his command, he immediately looked dissatisfied.

Seeing that Dongfang Ming's face was not good, Shui Ruyan immediately stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I really didn't think about it before, and I didn't take into account the morale of those aboriginal soldiers, or President Dongfang's proposal is more secure."

If you don't have a better way, then we will follow this proposal of the Eastern President and concentrate all our efforts on defending Lankao County. ”

After waiting for three minutes, and seeing that no one spoke to object, Shui Ruyan immediately decided: "Okay, since no one has a different opinion, then the matter in the Kaifeng War Zone has been decided, and we will follow President Dongfang's proposal to defend Lankao County."

Next, we began to study the battle situation in Zhuxi County and Nanzhang County, and everyone thought of what they could say freely without any worries. ”

As soon as Shui Ruyan's words fell, Ye Ziqing, who had not spoken, immediately stood up and said, "Everyone, regarding the situation in Zhuxi County, I think we can ignore it directly now, and I will explain to you why we should ignore it."

The objective situation proposed by Chairman Shui Ruyan is indeed very unfavorable for our side, after Henan and Hubei are shrouded in the clouds of war, there is no player army on our side that can be used to fight a war of attrition.

The Condor Army is different, they can continuously let the cannon fodder army go to Zhuxi County to send them to death and launch a suicidal siege.

If the war in Zhuxi County continues like this, then"
