Chapter 272: Tactical Inference Not Too Late
It's not too late.
"Siege for reinforcements?" Mu Xi was stunned.
Siege and reinforcement are still an unfamiliar word in this era. Although Mu Xi literally guessed the meaning, he only asked in surprise.
"Siege and reinforcement means that the attacking side surrounds the enemy defending the city with part of its forces, induces the enemy to ask for support from the other side, and then annihilates the enemy's reinforcements with the main force."
Shi Feiwan explained in detail: "Hu Yanjiong's purpose is not to want Jinzhou City, he just wants to annihilate some of the elite living forces of Great Chu first.
The 200,000 troops attacked the northern gate of Jinzhou as a cover-up, in order to make Jinzhou panic and can't wait to ask for help to the west.
Now Da Chu has lost three cities. The Battle of Golden State must be taken seriously by the Holy Saint today. 200,000 troops attacked the north gate of Jinzhou, but there were only 100,000 defenders in Jinzhou City.
In the face of the big number of 200,000, Golden State will inevitably want to ask for help.
Moreover, this number, at this juncture, the soldiers and horses that are closest to Jinzhou outside and can be borrowed for support will inevitably all be dispatched to support Jinzhou.
And Beirong attacked the north gate of Jinzhou. The reinforcements of Jinzhou can only come from the nearest west at the first time: Xiling, the second city of Jingzhou. Then, when the reinforcements gathered and marched east to support Jinzhou, they must pass through this place - Yuling. ”
Shi Feiwan pointed to the location of Yuling, and said: "Look at this place, through Luzhou to the north through these mountains, it can also be reached." In other words, the Beijung people can come here. And, you can get here first. There are low cliffs on both sides of the cliffs, and the cliffs are dense forests, which are suitable for hiding people. Under the cliff, there is a mountain road, which is the only way for the reinforcements of Dachu.
If the Beirong barbarians are ambushed on the high cliffs on both sides of this mountain road, they can first occupy the advantage of terrain and use heavy objects or flying arrows or artificial landslides to ambush and attack a wave of ambushes under the cliffs. Both sides of the mountain road can be carried out at the same time, and at this time, it is possible to lose at least 30% of the enemy with almost no soldiers.
In addition, there is a road to the lower mountain road. Both before and after. After the first wave of ambushes, the Beirong army withdrew from the cliff, and at this time, Ruo rushed out in two waves. Directly flank the reinforcements of Dachu in front and rear, forming a favorable position of attacking on both sides. In the fight, it is also Beirong who has the advantage.
In addition, at this time, the Great Chu reinforcements had temporarily fallen into chaos because of the attack on the front, and the number of non-wounded soldiers and dead soldiers was also greatly reduced because of the attack on the front. Attacking from front to back, fighting more and fighting less, attacking those with low morale while morale is strong, Beirong will win, and the reinforcements of Dachu will be wiped out, and it is not surprising that I am afraid. ”
"......" Mu Xi's eyes widened when he heard this.
It wasn't too late, he understood. That is to say: Hu Yanjiong pretended to have 200,000 soldiers and horses, in order to make Jinzhou panic and ask for support from the west. Because in the face of the large number of 200,000, the west will inevitably send a large number of reinforcements.
Then, Beirong will only send a small number of soldiers and horses to create the illusion of besieging Jinzhou, and the remaining large number of main forces are ambushing reinforcements in Yuling, and the besieging army can also withdraw from Jinzhou and go back to block the Dachu reinforcements.
"Are you sure? Now the barbarian has attacked the three cities, at this time, if Jinzhou is captured, there is the Ling River in the south of Jinzhou, and after the north Rong gets Jinzhou, you can directly cross the Ling River to the south of my Dachu in the future, which is a fatal threat to Dachu.
Now they have the advantage, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in the north, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the east that can be transferred to the west.
Even if I can still have reinforcements in Dachu, but since Beirong can reach Yuling through Luzhou, I can only send people to cut off the road of Yuling, block the advance of reinforcements or slow down the speed of reinforcement support. Before that, the winning rate of Golden State was really not small.
With such a good opportunity, how could Hu Yanjiong temporarily give up attacking the main city first, and instead focus on annihilating reinforcements? Even if they have an advantage in sending reinforcements, Beirong is not without damage. Focusing on the annihilation of reinforcements, this Jinzhou City will not be able to be captured for a while. ”
Although Mu Xi felt that it was terrible to say it too late, he still felt that something was not quite right. Since ancient times, the purpose of wars has been to capture the city.
"Nope." Shi Feiwan shook his head: "If you are ambitious, in the long run, it is not a big victory to capture a city and a pool, and it is the greatest victory to let the enemy have no strength to fight back." ”
Mu Xi looked at her and motioned her to continue with her eyes.
"One city and one pool, after it has been captured, it is not that Da Chu can't fight back. Now that Beirong occupies Luju, Jeju, and Luoju, haven't we always wanted to fight back? Haven't we always had hope that one day we will be able to fight back?
If you want to be invincible, if you want to safely monopolize the city so that the enemy has no power to fight back, then the key is to destroy the living force of the enemy country. If the enemy's army is weakened and reduced, especially if the Great Chu Xiling Army is still the most elite team in our north, then in the long run, the siege is really not in a hurry at this time, and the coming day will be long. However, if the enemy's vital forces are greatly reduced, it will not be able to recover overnight.
Now if Beirong can get such an opportunity and have the opportunity to occupy such a good geographical advantage, why not temporarily abandon the siege of the city and choose to attack the army? ”
Shi Feiwan said, and remembered a certain sentence of Grandpa Mao that he heard in modern times:
"War is not about gaining or losing in one city or one place, but about destroying the enemy's living forces. If someone loses the land, the land will eventually be gained. If there is land and people, people and land will be lost. ”
When Mu Xi heard this, he thought about it, and suddenly felt reasonable. After thinking about it deeply, I felt a little more reasonable. Keep thinking about it...... A layer of sweat broke out on his body. Secret Dao: If this stone girl really guessed correctly, then the Great Chu reinforcements will not have a catastrophe in the future.
"No, we have to report it. You can't fall for the brutes. Mu Xi then said hurriedly.
Regardless of whether this guess is necessarily correct or not, but now that we have thought of this possibility, we must not be unguarded.
What's more, Mu Xi now thinks deeply about it, and he also prefers to push it too late. Said: "If this is the case, after the Beirong obscuring method achieves its goal and attracts reinforcements, there is no need to hide Luozhou in the east, and at the same time you can send troops to the west to attack the east gate of Jinzhou." Then Jinzhou is still too busy to take care of himself at this time, and he will be powerless if he wants to send troops to support the reinforcements. ”
As he spoke, his face became serious, and he said, "Ah Shi, we have to go back quickly." ”
After thinking about it, he said, "No, it's been three days." The news of Golden State's plea for help must have spread to the west.
When we returned to the camp, we reported the news, and the above were unlikely to believe the speculations of our minions. Maybe they'll think we're Beijung.
Because, as soon as we reported this, it was a request for them to send troops to stop the reinforcements. Instead, they think that we want to make Golden State lose to Beirong without reinforcements.
Even if they don't suspect that we are meticulous, they will never easily believe us. If the speculation is wrong, blocking the support of the reinforcements, if the Beirong people are going to attack Jinzhou, there is a risk of losing Jinzhou, who would take such a big risk for the speculation that our two soldiers have no evidence! ”
When he heard this, he replied, "You're right. It is a matter of the survival of the city, how can they be easily convinced. However, even if we succeeded in persuading, and the inference was correct, we prevented the reinforcements from going to Yuling in time, at most we prevented a disaster for the reinforcements, but it still could not solve the crisis of Jinzhou.
Hu Yanjiong did not block the reinforcements, and he could also withdraw to the northeast and attack Jinzhou City directly. Jinzhou City, at this time, there is a risk of losing the city. ”
"Blocking the support of reinforcements, Jinzhou is in danger, not blocking, reinforcements are in danger. Hu Yanjiong is really treacherous. Mu Xi said: "In this way, unless you counterattack first and control the Beirong army, you can have both." ”
"Anti-governance?" Shi Fei raised his eyebrows and eyes.
"Yes. If you can't cure it, you can only wait for them to attack the city. Whether the Golden State survives or dies depends entirely on the siege battle. But this is not impossible, I am Jinzhou Chi Shen, but not as easy to fight as Luozhou. ”
Although Mu Xi mentioned "anti-governance", he couldn't think of any way to take the initiative to damage the Beirong army. You can't always look for an opportunity to ambush others when they are ambushed, he thought, but how could this be done.
Shi Feiwan thought about it, but he looked around, and suddenly asked: "The vegetation of Yuling is similar to this mountain?" ”
"Vegetation?" Mu Xi was stunned.
"It's the trees, the grass, the trees, and so on on the mountain."
Mu Xi didn't think she would ask this, but still replied: "Yes." They are all in the same area, and they are close together. ”
Shi Feiwan put the map on his body, and when he looked up again after putting it away, he said, "I have a way!" ”
After that, he approached Mu Xi and said something in his ear.
Mu Xi didn't think she was serious about this. Before he could react, he could hear her whisper a bunch of words in his ear. When he digested it, his eyes were fixed on her.
"Brother Mu thinks this method is feasible?" It's not too late to ask.
Mu Xi's chest rose and fell a few times, and then a "grass" was thrown out, and he said, "You are still not a woman, what kind of strange yin tricks have come out." ”
That being said, there was a flash of almost disbelief in his eyes, and then he replied, "Yes!" ”
"But it's useless for us to think, we have to cooperate with the guards." It's not too late to say.
"You're doing it as a preventative measure, not as a way to stop reinforcements. In this way, they do not believe it completely, but as long as they can believe in us, it is not impossible for them to accept this preventive and counter-action measure. Besides, it doesn't hurt any soldiers. Mu Xi's eyes brightened, "Let's go back and report it." ”
"Wait." Shi Fei stopped it and said, "After you go back, tell that Wei Shuang about this." Convince him to report it. ”
"......" Mu Xi looked at it in surprise.
Shi Fei replied: "Let him report it, the people above are more likely to believe this." ”
"......" Mu Xiden was stunned, "You...... Understand? ”
Mu Xi had never fought in the army before, and he was only in the learning stage of the war.
But he used to be in Kyoto, but he knew a lot about politics. He knows the situation in Beijing, and he also knows the emperor's distress. The emperor's purpose of sending Imperial Physician Chang to be a military doctor with the army, he probably guessed it-
It's about looking at each other and promoting rookies.
