Analysis of 126 Think Tanks (Part I)
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "This is a must, the two armies are fighting, intelligence is the top priority, speaking of which, what are you worried about?"
Fila said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that the barbarians will jump off the wall in a hurry. ”
"Oh?" Zhang Yuan's eyes showed a sudden look, and he said: "Are you saying that the barbarians will break the cauldron and launch a desperate attack on Erathia, in order to achieve the purpose of feeding the war with war, and plundering Erathia's grain and grass?"
Fila nodded and said, "Once you are cornered, this is the best choice." Retreating to protect the grain and grass can only delay the fighters and give our side a chance to breathe. If the Barbarian Commander is smart enough, he will definitely choose to continue the attack. Although the northwest direction of Xikunshan in China is not as rich as the inland plains, there will be no shortage of grain and grass where the army is stationed. ”
Zhang Yuan frowned slightly, and said, "According to the current situation, how many days can the barbarian army's grain and grass last?"
Fila thought for a moment and said, "The consumption of the barbarians' army of 100,000 is an astronomical amount, and it can be inferred according to common sense. Forty thousand logistical troops had already delivered grain and grass to the barbarian army. This food was enough for the barbarian army to last from three to five days. If it comes to the most difficult moment, killing the mount to maintain the food of the warrior will probably last for another three days, or eight days at most. ”
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "That is to say, in eight days, the barbarians will be hungry." ”
Fila said: "That is an ideal situation, according to the current position of the barbarians, as long as their domestic supplies are deployed quickly enough, within six days, the first batch of supplies will definitely be delivered to the barbarians, and if it is a little faster, five days will be about the same." You must know that the grain and grass of the main army of the barbarians in the middle lane is not too far from here. ”
Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "What is the current situation of the local garrison in the northwest of Erathia, if the barbarians launch a cauldron attack, where will they move first?"
Fila said without hesitation: "In the previous battles, although the Northwest Local Garrison Force relied on the fortified city, it also suffered heavy losses because its combat effectiveness was not strong. They have lost at least 20 percent of their troops, and there are at most 70,000 or 80,000 actually capable of fighting power. Moreover, these warriors have not been baptized by war, and their combat effectiveness is much weaker than that of the barbarian elite army. Now these 70,000 or 80,000 troops are gathered in several border cities, forming a defensive front. Barbarians want to succeed. You have to break through this line of defense. ”
Zhang Yuan quickly took out the sheepskin map. Squat on the ground. Spread out the map. Phil stretched out his hand and pointed at the map, pointing out the locations of the cities he had mentioned, as well as the current locations of the Barbarian Army and the Sword City Mixed Legion.
Zhang Yuan's hand landed on the large open space behind the city of Karpal and said, "What kind of terrain is this?"
Fila said: "This is a mountainous and forested area, which stretches for about a hundred miles, and the southern part of the kingdom of Xikunshan is not as prosperous as other places. The main gathering points are in these cities on the border, so the land is so vast and sparsely populated that it is difficult to see a bustling city or town. ”
Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Fila, if you are the commander of the barbarians, how will you choose when carrying out this ruined attack?"
After pondering for a moment, Fila pointed to the map and said, "I will send a large army to take battle under several large cities on the border, and the other cities will be besieged without attacking, and I will attack one of them with all my might, and charge regardless of losses." As long as you can break the city and get the supply of the army from it, it will not be difficult to break the other two cities. At that time, we only need to send a sufficient number of troops back to China to protect the continuous delivery of supplies, and even use the strength of this army to exterminate our guerrillas, and there will be no more worries. ”
Zhang Yuan smiled and clapped his hands and said, "That's easy, Filla." I have an idea, if it can be realized, even if it can't turn the whole tide of the battle, it will definitely make the barbarian Xikunshan army suffer a big loss. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Yuan directly said his plan. Listening to his words, the surprise in Fiella's eyes grew stronger. In the end, it even turned into a shock. He was surprised and said, "No! How does this work? Zhang Yuan, this is too dangerous, absolutely not. ”
Zhang Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "Haven't I experienced less danger?" Do you think that this barbarian's army of 100,000 is stronger than the 200,000 army of your Northern Legion? At the beginning, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians in my Sword City combined, and they could withstand your 200,000 troops. Could it be that this time, with the support of nearly 100,000 local garrisons in the northwest and the support of the fortified city, I still can't stop the barbarian charge? And, don't forget, I also asked Erathia for the 100,000 logistical supply army. What I need now is the absolute right to deploy the Northwest Local Garrison Force. ”
Filra's eyes flashed, and her face was cloudy. After listening to Zhang Yuan's plan, he also knew in his heart that the other party's strategy was the best strategy. However, Zhang Yuan ......
"Zhang Yuan, let me go, as long as I still have a breath, I will never let the barbarians cross the thunder pool one step."
Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "No, you can't." It's not that I can't trust you, it's that your strength is far from enough. I'm not afraid to sue you, if something unthinkable happens, and I can't avoid defeat with all my might, then I will not hesitate to withdraw. Don't worry, I won't fight hard, and there's no one better suited to Kalpal than me. Don't forget, I still have this. As he spoke, his hands filled with a crystal dragon totem that shone with red and golden light.
Fila wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Zhang Yuan with his eyes, and he said: "Someone, pass my order, and let the leaders of all departments come to discuss the matter." ”
Soon, the leaders of all the parties who fought in Sword City this time gathered in front of Zhang Yuan, including the patriarchs of the various tribes, as well as Wang Daqiang, the nine-headed dragon Dumeste, the three Beamon kings, and the leaders of the elemental human race this time. And Mo Lin stood quietly behind Zhang Yuan and became Zhang Yuan's personal guard.
Just got a big victory, and everyone's mood was quite small, and their faces were relaxed.
Zhang Yuan said: "We have summoned everyone to discuss our further actions. I have already decided on the specific plan of action after consulting with Fierrashan. I'm going out for a while, and from now on, during my absence, the unity of Sword City will be at the disposal of Filla. His commandments are my commandments, and no one shall disobey them. ”
The "mini" nine-headed dragon Dumeister, which had become more than three meters tall, looked at Zhang Yuan with wide eyes and said, "Lord Zhang Yuan, where are you going?" Do you want me to follow? ”
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "You just need to follow orders here." Dumeste, after I leave, you must be at the mercy of Mount Fierra. In Zhang Yuan's plan, the role of the most powerful nine-headed dragon Dumeister can be described as the most important, and he has to give detailed advice.
Dumeister glanced at Filra, and there was a little disdain in his eighteen eyes, but he still nodded his nine heads and said, "Okay, Lord Zhang Yuan, I'll listen to you." Say whatever you want. ”
Zhang Yuan continued to give orders: "From the next moment, the Thunderbird and Pegasus Knights are scattered on the barbarian border. I ask you to always keep a certain distance from the barbarian army. At the same time, always reconnoiter the opponent's movements. As soon as you notice the presence of a Barbarian logistical supply force, report back to Firla. What I want is an all-round reconnaissance and search without blind spots or gaps, and we must not let any barbarian logistics force slip under our noses. The Elven Patriarch and the Thunderbird Patriarch nodded at the same time.
"The Beamon Hydra Cavalry, the Elven Archer Cavalry, and the Wolf Cavalry and the Flying Elemental Army are all left behind. Fierla, I leave them all to you, they are highly mobile and the most combat-ready in our army. There is the hydra Dumyste as the vanguard. I think that as long as the barbarians can't get an escort army of more than five thousand men, we can all crush their logistical supplies. However, there is one thing you must be careful about, don't fall in love. Even if our army has the absolute upper hand, don't fall in love with the war. Destroy your opponent's logistical supplies and flee immediately, so that your opponent does not know your exact location. If necessary, you can also send Pegasus knights to assist in the battle, but you must not miss the enemy's reconnaissance. ”
