Chapter 22: Divide the Forces
readx;
Buchen thought that the strategy could be decided, but he didn't expect that at this moment, someone stood up!
This person's surname is Xu, his name is Weizheng, and he is the commander of the Fourth Light Cavalry Division!
"Xu Qing, do you have any opinions?" Buchen asked with some surprise. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xu Weizheng nodded slightly, bowed to Buchen, and said, "Your Majesty, I think that as long as our secrecy measures are effective enough, breaking them one by one is the most time-saving and labor-saving tactic!" ”
"Oh?" Buchen's eyes narrowed slightly, "Tell me about your plan in detail." ”
"No!" Xu Weizheng agreed and said: "Judging from my experience in fighting with the beasts, as long as there are two cavalry divisions, our army can compete with ten times the army of the beasts and win the battle, so for our army, even if the troops are divided, there is not much suspense about the outcome of the battle." In that case, why don't our army split up a three-way army and attack the three-way reinforcements of the beast captives at the same time? In this way, not only can the enemy army from all walks of life not get each other's news in a short period of time, but also save a lot of military food for our army, more than 200,000 troops under the city, the daily consumption of grain and grass is an astronomical amount, the empire was not long established, the previous development direction was too inclined to industry, resulting in insufficient agricultural heritage, the country's grain reserves are limited, and it is better to defeat the enemy army one day earlier than to wait for the enemy army to slowly gather under Zhaoliang City, right? ”
Buchen nodded, and glanced at Xu Weizheng with some surprise: "Xu Qing, these are all you thought of yourself?" ”
"Let the emperor laugh!" Xu Weizheng said with some embarrassment.
Buchen smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "What do you say to laugh?" Xu Qing, your opinion is very correct, and you have taken all aspects into account, I can't refute it at all! ”
"The afterlife is terrifying!" Qu Zhixiong also stared at Xu Weizheng and sighed, and then he turned to Buchen, crossed his hands and saluted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty has another wise and brave general!" ”
"Qu Xiang's public statement is serious, the kid still has a lot of shortcomings, please give more guidance in the future!" Xu Weizheng hurriedly humbled himself.
"Alright, alright!" Buchen interrupted them and asked Qu Zhixiong: "Qu Qing, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added to Xu Qing's opinion?" ”
Qu Zhixiong thought carefully for a while, and said: "Although our army is strong in force, far superior to the beast captive, but the three-way division of troops is ultimately dangerous, if only the cavalry division attacks, firstly, it is risky, and secondly, this time we only brought four cavalry divisions, if we want to divide them into two or two, it is not enough at all." It is better to mix in the form of a cavalry division and an infantry division, our army has basically completed the mule and horse transformation, even if it is an infantry division, its mobility ability is not much worse than that of a cavalry division, and there will be no risk of delaying fighters! ”
Buchen nodded slightly, the military establishment of the Central Empire is similar to his previous life, the cavalry division is much smaller than the infantry division, a division only has about 5,000 people, although the combat power is strong, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, anything can happen, only two cavalry divisions attack all the way, it is indeed necessary to take a certain risk, and if it is coordinated with the infantry division with more troops, it will be able to get nine out of ten!
"Xu Qing, what do you think of Xianggong Qu's opinion?" Buchen turned to Xu Weizheng.
"Qu Xianggong is thoughtful, and he will be convinced!" Although Xu Weizheng felt that Qu Zhixiong was too cautious, but he had openly opposed the other party's strategy before, if he refuted it at this time, even if Qu Zhixiong was open-minded, no matter how big he was, no matter how big he was, he would have to tie up with him. Xu Weizheng is not a guy who likes to offend people, so he naturally doesn't want to offend Qu Zhixiong too hard, so he can only accept it when he sees it, take a step back, and accept Qu Zhixiong's supplementary opinion.
"So, the strategy is set!" Don't clappe.
"Wang Ergen, Zhao Deming listens to the order!" Buchen stood up from his position and called his name loudly.
"The last general!" Wang Ergen, commander of the Sixth Infantry Division, and Zhao Deming, commander of the Second Light Cavalry Division, hurriedly stood up from their chairs and saluted Buchen beating his chest.
"Order the two of you to lead the headquarters to meet the beast reinforcements in Hexi Province, and take Wang Ergen as the generals in this battle, do you two have any objections?" Buchen asked with a dignified face.
"There will be no objections to the end!" Wang Ergen and Zhao Deming glanced at each other and hurriedly said.
"Then take the order!" Buchen took out an arrow from the barrel and threw it to Wang Ergen.
Wang Ergen simply took it neatly.
"Let's go now!" Don't be subordinate.
"No!" Wang Ergen and Zhao Deming responded, without the slightest delay, turned around, and strode out of the Chinese military tent.
"Zhang Lin and Cao Bingheng listen to orders!" Buchen called the names of the other two division commanders.
The two division commanders immediately got up.
Buchen, as he had ordered Wang Ergen and Zhao Deming before, gave these two divisions the task of meeting reinforcements from another province and told them to set off immediately!
"Dong Xun and Xu Wei are listening to orders!" The last road is not surprising, and it is for Xu Weizheng, the initiator of this strategy, to meet it.
After giving the order in a few words, Dong Xun and Xu Weizheng, like the previous two pairs of partners, walked out of the big tent without delay, went back to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and embarked on the journey!
At this time, there was still one cavalry division commander and five infantry division commanders left in the tent, and Buchen glanced at them and said, "Don't think that if it is not your turn to go to help, you will have nothing to do!" From tomorrow, we will start an attack on Zhaoliang City, and we must take it within three days! ”
"No!!"
The generals stood up and saluted together.
Everyone understands Buchen's order very well, since most of the fish have already been baited, there is no need to keep the bait of Zhaoliang City!
After the order was given, the generals walked out of the tent of the Chinese army and returned to their own troops to prepare for tomorrow's siege battle!
"Zhixiong, you stay for a while." Buchen said to Qu Zhixiong, "I still have something to discuss with you." ”
Qu Zhixiong nodded and sat back in his place.
When the generals were far away, Buchen frowned and asked, "Zhixiong, what do you say the ape king governor of Hexi Province has in mind?" The top boss was besieged in a lonely city, and he didn't send troops to rescue, did he want to be punished by the little pig's head of Gongde Duchi? ”
Qu Zhixiong knew that Buchen was going to talk about this, so he smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, the actions of His Royal Highness the Ape King are very intriguing!" ”
"How?" Buchen asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Mudong's move is undoubtedly to preserve his strength, but if he dies and doesn't save him, it is a sure thing to be punished by Gong Dedu, but in this way, even if the strength of Hexi Province is preserved, what benefit is there for Yuan Mudong himself? It is said that this highness is not a loyal minister of the country, not only that, but he is also very greedy for money and afraid of death. And before going south, this highness was still a hardcore pro-China faction under Wang Tieya, which can be seen by his name. Qu Zhixiong said with a smile.
"You mean ......?" Buchen's eyes widened in disbelief, "He preserves his strength, does he want to join us?" ”
"At present, it is estimated that I am still selling under the pretense of waiting for the price!" Qu Zhixiong sneered, "If we bid high, he probably will change his flag without saying a word!" ”
"In that case, shall we send an envoy to talk to him?" Don't ask.
"Your Majesty!" Qu Zhixiong smiled bitterly, "You send an envoy at this time, if you don't offer a sufficient price, how can he surrender?" It's just that if we offer a high price, won't we lose too much? ”
"What do you say Zhixiong should do?" Don't be humble and ask for advice.
"It's simple, hang him! Let's take care of the reinforcements from the three provinces first, and when there is only one beast prince left in the northwest, let's lead the army to Hexi Province to talk to him, and when the soldiers come to the city, he can't help but ask for a price! Qu Zhixiong said with a sinister expression.
"Great idea!" Buchen stared at Qu Zhixiong with joy and sincerity, and said excitedly, "In this way, there is no need for the soldiers to shed blood and work hard, and there is no need to give any high-ranking officials, a province can get it, just do it!" ”
Qu Zhixiong smiled: "Speaking of which, compared to Yuan Mudong, who can't shrink from the turtle, the beast governors of the other three provinces are really loyal to Gongdedu, and they know that the siege of Zhaoliang is a trap, but in order not to be charged, they still come hard!" ”
"Since people are so loyal, let's fulfill it! I believe that my soldiers will gladly accept their loyal heads! Buchen said with a wicked smile.
