In fact, this kind of battle is difficult to say, and easy to say. It is rare that 200,000 people surround 3 million people, and it is not impossible to match the terrain.

As long as a small number of troops are sent to occupy the main communication routes leading to the outside world in the entire war zone, as long as archers are sent to defend these one-man places, it will be completely impregnable.

But there are two more problems in between.

The first is that before the start of our anti-bandit war, the bandits in the entire war zone were indeed working in their own way and were relatively scattered. But once the battle broke out and the surrounded robbers felt threatened, the situation was broken.

The bandits who were originally scattered will soon be combined, and even in the end, after we have eliminated a small number of bandits, the remaining bandits will gather into a whole, and even if the bandits are successful, then the price we pay will be too great.

Another problem is that in the entire war zone, it is necessary to block the exits on the periphery, but some exits are too far away from the robbers, and there are actually exits closer to the robbers that can be blocked.

Therefore, the location of the exit must be chosen correctly, which can not let the robbers escape, but also allow us to get closer to the robbers.

The problem of choosing an export also partially solves the first problem. The best way to prevent the bandits from integrating is to divide and encircle. Therefore, it is necessary not only to find the key points of exit, but also to find the key points of division and encirclement.

If the export is too far, there will be more points to pay attention to. The selection of the right exit can make these points more compact, and the strength of each point can play a full strategic role.

When Feng Yu suddenly pointed the small wooden stick at a key point in my mind, I knew that Feng Yu already had a feasible and complete strategy in mind.

And then, with Feng Yu's explanation, everyone gradually had a full understanding of the entire strategy. The eight people who were originally frowning gradually relaxed their brows.

It wasn't until Feng Yu finished speaking that I suddenly began to applaud:

"General Feng's analysis is so incisive. Then there is the question, how should we send troops? If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid General Feng also knows the best about the strength of our three battalions.

Where to send whom, I'm afraid I've already thought about it several times on the way here. ”

Feng Yu immediately stepped forward and replied, "Commander-in-Chief Mingjian, that's exactly the case. ”

At my behest, Feng Yu proposed a plan for the distribution of troops. When the other eight people heard this, they were all impressed. Even Deng Wei thought that he, the commander, did not know more about his own battalion than Feng Yu, the deputy commander of the other battalions.

In fact, the distribution of troops is very simple. In addition to my strength, the strength of the three battalions combined is nearly 100 units. By sending dozens of troops to occupy these points, we can save tens of thousands of troops and attack each cottage one by one.

In this way, we not only surrounded 3 million bandits, making it impossible for the various cottages to communicate, but also maintained the combat effectiveness of the main force. Even if the next tens of thousands of troops deal with a cottage of 200,000 people, it will be a piece of cake.

I applauded again: "Very good, all the battle plans are exactly as General Feng said." Next, everyone went to separate preparations. General Feng, you stay with me and be in charge of the overall command. ”

In Feng Yu's plan, none of my 30,000 troops moved. Together with the remaining tens of thousands of troops, the main force was formed.

So I don't want to bury Feng Yu's credit, and besides, he has prepared such a thorough plan for the suppression of bandits, and he is indispensable in the specific implementation of the strategy.

The next thing is easy, and the troops of the various units will attack according to the plan. The main force first stayed in the barracks near Luoyang, waiting for the news of the occupation of various key points. After about half an hour, the news had arrived, and everything was ready.

So the main army swaggered towards the theater of operations at this time. And the first combat object is a large cottage of 200,000 people marked by Feng Yu.

Due to the fanfare of the main forces, almost all the cottages in the theater of operations have already gotten the news. But the main transportation routes have been completely controlled by our army, and now almost all the cottages have become turtles in urns.

During this period, some cottages also tried to break through, but they were all shot back by the forbidden army's strong bows and crossbows. After losing a lot of combat power, these cottages are currently in a hurry like ants on a hot pot and are continuing to find ways to break through.

And the first copycat I hit, but I didn't break through. This is also what Feng Yu has already calculated.

Because the owner of this cottage is relatively smart, he knows that since the imperial court wants to suppress bandits, it must achieve the goal. But one thing will not change since ancient times, it is necessary to get the maximum benefit and minimize the loss.

So the owner of the village will be sure that as long as he does not move, he will be safe for the time being. And next, the wisest thing to do for the bandit army is to surrender directly.

For robbers with lofty goals, the best way out to be a bandit is actually to surrender and turn from a bandit to a soldier all at once, without having to take the detour of being exploited when recruiting.

Besides, since these robbers want to be robbers, they must be forced by life to have no way. There simply don't have the financial resources to go the normal way.

Feng Yu believes that giving these robbers a chance can not only reduce losses, but also accumulate good life for the heavens. And I completely agree with Feng Yu's suggestion. Isn't this my usual strategy for suppressing bandits in Majiabao?

And if the persuasion is successful, there is another benefit. Because I am the commander-in-chief, and there are no other players to share the spoils, after these cottages are laid, they will definitely be my enclave.

Successful persuasion means that I can get three times the population of the enclave, and one more armed villager of the cottage out of thin air. Good guys, this is a big cottage of 200,000 people. I fought for several days in Majiapu, but I only managed to accumulate a population of 200,000 people.

Sure enough, as soon as the army arrived, the messenger of the cottage had already arrived, hoping that we would send someone to negotiate. My choice was to go straight up on my own. Feng Yu volunteered at first, not wanting me to go. Later, when he saw that I insisted, he decided to go up with me.

This time, even Zhang Chuang did not follow, after all, robbers are very taboo, and it would be better to go alone when negotiating.

As soon as I entered the cottage, as soon as the owner of the village was named, I was immediately confused. Because when I looked at the information, I suddenly found that the 25th first-class military general I saw today had already appeared.

This person's name is Jiang Zhao, although he is only a first-level military general, he is also a first-class military general, which can be compared to the few biao deputies and pioneers under my command. What's more, as soon as he surrenders, he will become my own general.

Jiang Zhao was also surprised when he heard that I was the commander-in-chief of this operation: "General Xiong is so courageous, he actually dared two people to come up." ”

I smiled and said, "Because I know very well that the master of Jiang Zhai is a person who understands, and once I die, the entire cottage will be reduced to ashes." Although my subordinates preferred me to live, they didn't mind waiting for me to die to take my place. ”

Jiang Zhao laughed: "General Xiong is really fast. Then I don't beat around the bush in Xia, I just want to know in Xia, how does General Xiong deal with his brothers in Xia and Shanzhai? ”

I smiled and said, "I'm a person who values love and righteousness, and I'm also a person who wants to do big things." As long as the owner of the village and the brothers are willing, they will be good brothers in the future. All brothers will definitely have a good way out. ”

Jiang Zhao pondered for a long time: "But I always feel a little unsteady in my heart." Is there any way General Xiong can trust me? ”

I smiled again and said:

"In my private territory, there are now at least ten surrendered village owners, this is convincing enough, right? Besides, I'm not strong right now, and I need enclaves and populations very much.

At present, the total population of my territory is only more than 200,000, does the owner of Jiang Zhai think that I am willing to be unfavorable to your brothers? ”

Jiang Zhao was overjoyed: "Since this is the case, then I, Jiang Zhao, will descend." Brothers, will you descend or not? ”

The robbers said in unison, "Yes." ”

Jiang Zhao immediately bowed down, and others also bowed down. The first battle continued the tradition of Majiabao and was won without a fight.

After having these 200,000 cottages, I asked Jiang Zhao to immediately gather the elite of a battalion from it, and immediately set off with me to participate in the next battle of bandits.

Jiang Zhao was very happy when he heard this, because it meant that he could fight for me in the fastest time. That's a good sign.

And after getting this batch of new forces, Feng Yu also made adjustments to the current operation. Continue to draw more than a dozen troops from the forbidden army to reinforce the various passes that had been attacked before.

After all, with Jiang Zhao's troops, the strength of our army has doubled, and the next battle will be easier to fight.
