He Xiaoduo was very surprised, and praised: "Shibei three days, you should be impressed, you three can come up with such a good idea, it's very good!" After a pause, he asked: "Everyone, do you think the strategy of He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Ding and the three generals to surround the point and send reinforcements just now?"

Chuan Yifan asked, "I don't know what kind of thing General Zhong said about the explosive pack, but it is really so powerful?"

"The explosives in the explosives bag are black powder that has been improved by Yun Tianjia, and the power is many times stronger than the traditional black powder earlier. Let's put it this way, if a ten-pound explosive bag explodes nearby, it is enough to threaten the lives of ordinary soul masters below level sixty. Zhong Ding and Yang were proud, as if the explosives bag had been invented by him.

"Then this new type of explosives, will it be very difficult to make? Tens of thousands of explosive packs, how much labor does it take to complete?" Chuanyifan had heard many times about the deeds of the Dragon Armor Army during the Battle of Trapped Dragon Bay, but he had never paid attention to the problem of explosives. After Zhong Dinghe said this, he suddenly felt that perhaps the appearance of this explosive package would bring a completely different combat mode to future military wars.

Xiong Zhuangzhuang smiled: "This explosive is not difficult to make at all, but it is a little dangerous. If there are enough materials and manpower, tens of thousands of explosives packages are estimated to be ready in one or two months. ”

Boat Yifan frowned deeply and nodded silently.

Long Yuandong suddenly said: "The strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements will not work. ”

"Why doesn't it work?" He Dali's eyes widened and said, "Last time Yun Tianjia rescued us, he used this strategy!"

The generals looked at Long Yuandong together.

Many of them actually recognized the strategies of He, Xiong, and Zhong very much, and when they heard Long Yuandong say that it would not work, they were all curious about what he had to say.

He Xiaoduo smiled: "There is no perfect strategy in the world. If a plan is proposed, I'm afraid that no one will get it right. Because no one objected, either the strategy was too bad to be seriously considered, or everyone could not understand the connotation of the strategy, and everyone agreed. General Long might as well give everyone an explanation!"

Long Yuandong said unhurriedly: "First, the Thousand Caves Ridge was indeed the lair of the Five Elements Sect, but that was half a year ago, and it is still not now, I don't know;

Second, even if Qianguoling is still an enemy's lair, it can only accommodate 80,000 to 100,000 people at most, and if you deduct your family members, the garrison will not exceed 30,000, accounting for only one-twentieth of the enemy's main force of 600,000. Obviously, the siege of Qianguoling will not play a role in moving the whole body. They will not give up the existing vast territory in order to rescue a small Thousand Cave Ridge, and send a large number of troops to reinforce it, and the most likely thing is to send a small force to attack and harass on the periphery, so our so-called 'reinforcement' is just an empty word;

Third, the Five Elements Sect has been operating the Thousand Cave Ridge for a long time, and there must be a strong fortress and many mechanisms inside, and it is definitely not something that can be finished with tens of thousands of explosive packets being blown up. Moreover, when he was in Matai County last year, the Five Elements Sect had already suffered the loss of this explosive package, so it was impossible to be unprepared. If we plant explosives in a big way, how can people not interfere with them and not evade them? Once the explosives fail to be effective, then we can only attack by force, and the enemy will be able to wait for work at ease and occupy the right time and place. Even if it wins, it will be a miserable victory. Our mobile forces are already small, and the local battlefield has won a crushing victory, but in the overall situation, it is a fiasco, and the situation will be out of control!

Fourth, now that the entire territory of Huzhou is under the control of the enemy, our army will have to pass through countless checkpoints if it wants to reach Qianguoling, whether it is from Huazhou to the south or from Lotus Xiangwu to the west, and even if they cannot stop our footsteps, the enemy is not made of mud or wood, has eyes, and has brains, so how can they not see our intentions? Now that they know our strategic intentions, how can they not be prepared? Perhaps we have encircled the Thousand Caves Ridge with great difficulty, but when we went up to see it, it was empty, and when we turned our heads down the mountain, we were already surrounded by more than 100,000 enemy troops!

He Xiaoduo sweated on her forehead when she heard this.

She knew that she hadn't really been on the battlefield, and when it came to leading troops to fight, some things were easy to take for granted, but He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, and Zhong Dinghe had all experienced the Huzhou Campaign, and since the three of them had also put forward the same point of view, there must always be some truth, at least there would not be too many loopholes.

But after Long Yuandong said this, he realized how wrong he was.

The more common-sense mistakes are, the easier it is to turn a blind eye!

Military decision-making is still necessary to seek truth from facts!

He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Dinghe consciously took care of the loss, his face was slightly hot, and he was silent and silent.

Wen Yanxin guided: "What General Long saw is very pertinent. If you can't get reinforcements around the point, you can think of other strategies. ”

Li Gaotang said: "Since the odds of winning after the surprise attack on the enemy are too small, then we will fight steadily and advance step by step." Attack Huzhou first, take Jinfengcheng, and then accumulate strength, wave the army to the north, Pinghai Prefecture, Qingshu Prefecture, surround the enemy in Qingzhou, Deren, and annihilate them in one fell swoop. At this point, the main force of the bandit army has gone to seven or eight, and the enemy of Tongzhou and Jianzhou is not enough to cause trouble!"

This strategy is unremarkable and has no outstanding features, but it is a safe victory, and it is entirely possible to achieve it if the logistics are effective, the soldiers are killed, and the three armies cooperate seamlessly.

He Xiaoduo thought to herself: "Garlic is raw and fragrant, and ginger is old and spicy." I underestimated these veterans before. ”

All the generals felt that Li Gaotang's words were difficult to pick, or they were silent, or nodded secretly.

Long Yuandong argued: "Today's Huzhou is no longer the Huzhou of half a year ago. From a geographical point of view, Huzhou is the hub of the enemy's southward and northward movements, like the middle section of a snake, which is very important and cannot be lost. The total strength of the enemy army is 600,000, and the number of troops within Huzhou is no less than 150,000, and almost every county and county town is heavily guarded. Especially in the capital city of Jinfengcheng, the garrison force reached 60,000!

When we hit Huzhou, the enemy echoed from beginning to end, and the troops and people were all concentrated here, which was equivalent to a decisive battle with the enemy in advance. If you win, you will be devastated, and if you lose, you will be defeated like a mountain, endangering the central capital. If the enemy and us are evenly matched, we will not hesitate to fight, but the current situation is obviously that the enemy is strong and we are weak, and there are more defeats and fewer victories.

Don't forget, as the foundation of the Five Elements Sect's uprising, there are still millions of bewitched civilians in Huzhou, willing to be driven by it!

What's more, we have attracted all the attention of the enemy, and King Xuan is no longer invincible in the south, chasing down the remnants of the army, and attacking the city, it is easy. We fought hard, but we cheapened the king of the south.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to attack Huzhou!"

Wen Yanxin said: "Then we avoid the real and make the false, start from the enemy's weak point, take a long way to attack Shuzhou and Haizhou first, or take Lotus Xiangwu as a starting point, send troops to the south to build a state, concentrate superior forces, break through each one, and accumulate small victories into big victories, how about it?"
