Chapter 60: Siege Wei and Rescue Zhao
Rao is earl has come over with strong winds and waves, but just after saying that the two of them are not a big deal, as soon as he turned his head, the real person appeared in front of him, and his face was really a little hot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He coughed twice and asked, "Ahem, both of you are good." What do you want to ask? β
Lin Yuedong said: "Ask about the current predicament and the situation of the main commanders of the coalition forces. They seem to be helpless about the current situation, but we may be able to find a solution. β
The Earl thought for a moment and said, "That's right...... Well, if you two can calculate Amos, then I'll tell you two. β
He recounted the current situation.
At present, the situation faced by the coalition army is very grim, about 36,700 or so demon king army is surrounded by the periphery of the town of Ars, twenty miles east of Ostacia, the holy woman led 4,000 salvation troops to defend the town, and the Ostachia side is currently 42,000 remnants of the defeated generals, but the main force that can really fight is only about 6,000, and the rest are some second-rate armies that can only fight with the wind, and because they have just been defeated, many of the units have been scattered, and they have not been rebuilt yet, and the combat effectiveness is even worse.
A big reason why the Duke of Blood Lion has not been able to bring the Holy Maiden out until now after his defeat is that the combat effectiveness of these armies at hand is not strong enough. The original most capable Salvation Army was surrounded in the small town of Ars, and the other main army, the Army of the Kingdom of Holy Lukia, was the culprit of this defeat, and only the army of the Kingdom of Aldesia still had some combat effectiveness, which was really lonely.
At present, it has been more than a day and nearly two days since the siege of the Holy Maiden, and it is difficult to predict how long the Salvation Army will be able to hold on.
"Do you have a map?" Li Qinglan quickly entered the role, exuding the calm momentum of a hundred battle generals on his body, and asked.
"Yes." Lauren Frost was a little puzzled by his change, but said anyway.
The Earl brought over the nearby mapβnot the most accurate modern map, of course, but a simple map drawn by a scoutβand Lin Yuedong and Li Qinglan compared the map and found the second problem of the delay in receiving the Salvation Army.
"There's a mountain to get from here to the town of Ars?" Lin Yuedong asked, pointing to the map.
"The shortest path, yes. However, the mountain road through the valley, and not wide enough, was too steep for the march, and it was better to go around it from this side. The Count gestured to the east side of the mountain, "There is a great road on this side that can be bypassed the mountain." β
"It's going to take longer." Li Qinglan nodded to the road, "If I were the Demon King Army, I would ambush heavy troops on this road and surround the point to send reinforcements." β
"And it is, in fact." The Count shrugged, "Duke Al Stein tried to lead his troops to rescue him once, but the reinforcements were almost swallowed. β
"Encircle the ......," Lin Yuedong muttered.
The trick of encircling the point to send reinforcements is already a Yang conspiracy to a large extent. The saint was besieged, and there was no way not to save her. And if you go to save it, you will definitely be ambushed and attacked by the other party, and you can't think of a way at all.
But this move is not completely unbreakable, and the way to crack it is to reverse the encirclement point to send reinforcements - the ancestor of this trick is to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
In the story of besieging Wei to save Zhao, the army of Wei had already surrounded Handan of Zhao State, if Sun Bin led the army straight to Handan, it would inevitably be beaten by his reinforcements with ease and hard work, so Sun Bin was very smart and did not go to Zhao at all, but took the army straight to Daliang, the capital of Wei, forcing Pang Juan to retreat and come to a reverse encirclement point to help.
You surround my point, and I surround your point, let's see who can hold it and who can't lose that point the most.
On the battlefield of the Western Front, a point more important than the Holy Maiden to the Continental Alliance did not exist, but after the Demon King Army attacked and besieged the town of Ars on all fronts, this point was exposed.
"Cellar!" Lin Yuedong and Li Qinglan simultaneously fixed their eyes on the location of the base camp of the Western Front of the Demon King Army. Sailal City is the largest city built on the front line by the Demon King Army, located on the logistics channel of the Demon King Army, and holds all the logistics materials of tens of thousands of troops. As long as Celal is taken, the Demon King's army will collapse without a fight.
If it was before, the 50,000 troops of the Demon King Army were all near Celal, and they didn't even think about it. But now that the Demon King Army has gone to the town of Ars, Celal is empty, if you don't fight at this time, when will you stay?
"This article has to be done around Salal." Li Qinglan made a gesture on the map, "Earl, after bypassing the east side of the mountain, is there a way to reach Searal directly?" β
"Do you want to go straight to Celral?" Count Lauren Frost was a little clear, "What a bold idea! However, there is indeed such a way. The Demon King's army gathered around the small town of Ars, and if you go around from the south, you can indeed go there. It's just that the Demon King Army must have spies here, and the distance is also long, I'm afraid it won't be able to achieve the effect of a surprise attack. β
"Why the surprise attack?" Li Qinglan smiled slightly, "I just want them to know that we are going to make a surprise attack!" β
ββ¦β¦ Yes? "Count Lauren Frost is in the dark. Isn't it stealing?
"I have a plan, maybe I can solve the siege of the Holy Maiden. Let's take a closer look, if that's the case......" Li Qinglan recounted the method she had come up with.
"It's ...... Jia Xu broke Cao Cao's method? After Lin Yuedong heard this, he immediately thought of the prototype of this plan.
"You also have "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in that world? That's right, that's the trick. Li Qinglan said with a little surprise.
Lin Yuedong thought about it carefully and felt that there was no flaw in this plan, and it might really work. Amos, who was mainly responsible for planning on the Western Front of the Demon King Army, was killed by himself and Li Qinglan, and it is estimated that the rest of the people should not have such brains to see through it.
Not to mention Count Lauren Frost. This era of cold weapons is still too old, and the study of war is basically limited to the formation of the two sides to attack in a dignified manner, and the use of tactics is only limited to the wit of the main general, there are not so many military books to learn, and there are not so many strategies in the stomach, and I have really never seen Li Qinglan's meticulous strategy, and I was immediately shocked.
"That's it! You guys are really smart, the idiots at the coalition command couldn't figure out a way for a long time, and you two can do it in one go, and the intelligence gap is too big. The Count slapped the table and sighed.
"It's not a matter of intelligence, it's a matter of insight." Li Qinglan shook her head and said. The history of wars in this world is still too short and inexperienced, and there is no way to find historical examples as references.
"Now the question is how to gain the trust of those people in command. We are not familiar with those people, and you can't speak at the military meeting, Earl, and even if this strategy works, they can't do anything if they don't adopt it. Lin Yuedong said.
"That's it...... I have an idea. Count Lauren Frost said with some hesitation, "In this case, I will introduce you to a man first." β
