Chapter 809: Battle of the Chishui River Valley (Medium)
"Give the order to attack!"
In the temporary headquarters, Xu Rui said lightly.
The herald immediately took the order and left, and the sound of the telegraph machine "Di Di" immediately sounded, and the Apocalypse Army, which was scattered on a battle front for hundreds of miles, received the same order almost instantly.
"The marshal seems to know that the Wuling pro-army will come for reinforcements?"
Lin Shaodong asked.
Xu Rui smiled: "This is what Ben Shuai said that day, our only chance of life." ”
Lin Shaodong frowned: "What kind of life is this?" ”
Xu Rui said: "Look at the series of actions of King Wuling to dispatch troops this time, it seems to be devastating, but it is actually very risky.
As long as one of Long Yun or Sima Shang did not succeed, then not only would the Wuling pro-army that had penetrated behind enemy lines fall into a bitter battle, but also the subsequent series of attacks would be completely stranded.
Why do you think King Wuling acted like this? ”
Lin Shaodong muttered: "His subordinates have also carefully analyzed the battle examples of King Wuling, although he uses troops wildly, but there are not many times when he is so dangerous, and his subordinates also feel strange when the marshal says this." ”
Xu Rui said with a smile: "Actually, it's not surprising, King Wuling's battle is a fast word, he only took a month to completely eliminate the two kings of Liaoyu, capture the capital of the Great Wei, and take most of the Northern Dynasty into his pocket."
That's what he wants to achieve.
For this purpose, he had to use dangerous tactics and sword swords to defeat his opponents in the shortest time and in the most efficient way. ”
"It doesn't make sense......"
Lin Shaodong said suspiciously: "Although King Wuling's battle is indeed very fast, if he wants to be fast, then why don't you attack when I take the throne?"
If he attacked during the battle of Changxing City, not only would he encounter much less resistance, but also the center of Great Wei was almost completely paralyzed at that time, wouldn't it be faster for him to destroy Great Wei?
What's more, the more than two months that have been dragged by King Wuling Shengsheng are also time, even if you don't look at anything else, these two months alone will outweigh the losses. ”
Xu Rui nodded: "You're right, so we have to study the story behind this." ”
"What's the story behind this?"
Lin Shaodong was puzzled.
Xu Rui explained: "Judging from the combat power of King Wuling this time, don't you think it's too strong? ”
Lin Shaodong nodded and said: "It's too strong, originally I thought that although the army of the Southern Dynasty was stronger than the Great Wei, the victory or defeat on both sides was only four or six at most."
But at the moment, putting aside our Apocalypse Army, the combat effectiveness of the Southern Dynasty army is far above the twelve guards of the Beijing Division, and the King of Wuling is so strong that he can destroy the Great Wei at any time! ”
Xu Rui nodded: "That's right again, King Wuling and his army of the Southern Dynasty are indeed strong enough to destroy Great Wei at any time, but he hasn't done it for so many years, there is only one explanation for this, that is, he didn't want to destroy Great Wei at all!" ”
"Then why did he want to destroy Great Wei now? And since King Wuling didn't want to destroy Great Wei at all, why did he send so many secret chess pieces to Great Wei? ”
Lin Shaodong asked.
Xu Rui said: "As long as you analyze the situation a little, the answer is already obvious, King Wuling didn't want to destroy the Great Wei at the beginning, so he didn't choose to attack during the battle of the Northern Dynasty to seize the heir.
But in the two months that the battle for the succession lasted, something very important to King Wuling must have happened, so that he temporarily decided to destroy Great Wei, and he had to do so as soon as possible.
He blindly sought speed in this battle in order to be in a hurry, as if he wanted to complete the reunification of the north and the south within a certain time limit.
And although we are far from being the opponent of the Southern Dynasty in the long run, but in the short term we can form a stalemate, as long as it drags on for a period of time, King Wuling can not complete the established strategic purpose, then he is very likely to withdraw the army, this is the first chance of life that Ben Shuai said.
As for sending a large number of dark chess to Great Wei, it seems that now it seems that for King Wuling, the mission of the existence of dark chess is very likely not to collect information about my Great Wei, but to collect other intelligence! ”
"Other information?"
Lin Shaodong obviously didn't understand what other information was more valuable than the intelligence of Great Wei.
But Xu Rui remembered the ruins hidden in the northwest underground, as well as the identity of the master traverser of dark chess, and a series of bold ideas couldn't help but pop up in his mind.
Now he regrets a little, he shouldn't have killed the prince so quickly in order to take revenge.
Seeing that Xu Rui was deep in thought, Lin Shaodong didn't ask, but changed the topic and said, "Dashuai, if it's as you said, then how should we fight this time?" ”
Xu Rui came back to his senses and said: "First of all, of course, we want to win this battle in the Chishui River Valley, while the main force of King Wuling is still in Changxing City, first force the annoying Wuling army to retreat, and then eat the 300,000 West Road army surrounded by us in the river valley." ”
"And then wait for the opportunity to deal with King Wuling?"
Lin Shaodong asked.
Xu Rui shook his head: "Then let's retreat to the northwest, relying on the danger of Tianqi Pass to block the footsteps of King Wuling's attack." ”
"Back to the northwest?"
Lin Shaodong's eyes widened in shock.
Xu Rui nodded: "Our current tactics are too costly, and the logistics supply is too fragile, if we continue to stay in the hinterland of Great Wei to deal with King Wuling, he will soon take advantage of this weakness to force us into a desperate situation."
In addition, only by relying on military factories and having a steady supply of ammunition and weapons can we maximize the advantages of weapons and barely erase the advantages of the DPRK's national strength.
Although we don't know why King Wuling is in such a hurry to destroy Great Wei, as long as we hold on for a while, the shadow of that incident will definitely break out quickly, and then King Wuling will either withdraw his troops, or show flaws because of the impact of that incident, so that we can find an opportunity.
Also, although King Wuling quickly defeated the two kings of Liaoyu this time, the problem is precisely in this fast word.
The two Koreas have been in opposition for a long time, and it is not the victory of one or two battles that can change the will of the people on both sides.
King Wuling won too quickly this time, but in a short period of time, even if he poured the power of the Southern Dynasty, he could not completely digest such a vast land and people's hearts.
So we don't have to worry, the so-called spark can start a prairie fire, under normal circumstances, a master of soldiers like King Wuling will naturally not give us any chance, but if the impact of that incident ferments, maybe ......"
Speaking of this, Xu Rui's voice stopped abruptly.
Lin Shaodong said excitedly: "Maybe King Wuling will show his flaws because he can't completely complete the unification of the north and the south, so that we can find an opportunity to completely recover the Great Wei, and even unify the north and the south?!" ”
Xu Rui nodded: "That's what it means, but everything is just Ben Shuai's speculation, let's be like walking a tightrope now, we can't make a mistake, we must win every battle we must win!" ”
"Like this Battle of the Chishui Valley?"
Lin Shaodong laughed.
Xu Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly!" ”
Just when Xu Rui and Lin Shaodong were discussing the overall strategic situation, the decisive battle in the Chishui Valley finally began.
The 200,000 Northwest Army is about to stage a bloody battle with the 300,000 elites of the Southern Dynasty and the 120,000 Wuling pro-army.
