Chapter 1347: A Plan to Lure the Enemy
The Moon Kingdom dispatched troops, so naturally it couldn't hide from the eyes of the outside world.
After all, this movement is too big, and almost except for the basic defense forces, all the combatable soldiers that the Moon Kingdom can call on now have been dispatched.
An army of nearly three million is enough to attract everyone's attention, even if the people of the Moon Kingdom want to hide it, they can't hide it, this is destined to be a head-on battle.
Something like Blitz Qianlan is impossible.
The outside world was amazed by the strength of the Moon Country's military strength and the strength of its masters, and at the same time, it was also shocked by the determination of the Moon Country people.
No one would have thought that Lin Si would send such a large army, where could the current Southern Qi withstand the invasion of three million troops?
To tell the truth, it was only after learning that the three million army was pressing the border from both sides, and the Southern Qi country was already a voice of national destruction. Before Lin Si and the others' plan to attack the heart began to be implemented, the morale of the Southern Qi army had inevitably declined.
Even, even many of the Purple Star soldiers had lost most of their fighting spirit, and many of them were already thinking about returning home.
True, no one is optimistic about them, and even they themselves do not see the slightest hope of victory.
After all, Nanqi is not their motherland, and if they know that they will lose a battle, wouldn't it be in vain to sacrifice their lives if they continue to fight?
Sometimes, the number of large armies is really useful. Especially before the start of a war, exaggerating one's own strength can cause heavy pressure on the enemy, and even force the other side to retreat.
Lin Si did not exaggerate the number of the army, and the Southern Qi Purple Star Alliance did not retreat, but the impact was there after all.
At this time, the effect of attacking the heart may be even better than they expected before.
However, I am afraid that no one in the outside world will know that just as this big battle was about to start, Lin Si quietly came to Ji Bingyun's camp and had a secret conversation with her.
That's right, in Lin Si's mind, Ji Bingyun is a person who can make himself feel pressure in terms of commanding operations, and he is glad that she is always on his side.
She now has enough combat experience, and she has already had the experience of being alone several times when attacking Qianlan, and after Qian Song returned to the Moon Kingdom, she was officially accepted by the generals of the Moon Kingdom.
It stands to reason that this time the eastern front should have sent Ji Bingyun to preside, not Xue Chen.
But it was not for nothing that Lin Si chose Xue Chen, to be honest, the most reassuring general of the Moon Kingdom in Lin Si's heart now was Xue Chen.
Perhaps Xue Chen was not the one who was the most capable of fighting among the generals of the Moon Kingdom now, but he was the most reliable and the one that Lin Si didn't need to worry about.
The East Road needs to mobilize Qingchuan to surrender the army, Xue Chen, who grew up in the Northeast Theater of the Moon Country since he was a child, and then fought with the Qingchuan people, is obviously the most familiar with the situation there.
In addition, only when he is there can he try to avoid some accidents that Lin Si does not want to see, such as the chaos of the descending generals. And only when he is there, there will be no situation where the generals of the Moon Kingdom despise the surrendered generals, because he will not carry personal emotions when fighting, and will only act impartially.
This is precisely what many other generals of the Moon Country cannot do.
Ji Bingyun's talent may surpass Xue Chen's, and she will be fair, but she still lacks some of Xue Chen's temperament after all. If she is sent to preside over the war on the Eastern Front, she may not be able to suppress those surrendered generals.
However, this does not mean that Lin Si has no special arrangements for her.
With such a famous general, how could Lin Si not give full play to her abilities.
"I've come to you because I have an important thing for you to do. ”
At this time, in this tent, apart from him and Ji Bingyun, there was only Xie Shaoying.
And the latter has never been interested in these battle plans, so the final answer is still Ji Bingyun.
"Fourth Brother Lin is talking about the Grassland Country?" she seemed to have already guessed Lin Si's intention.
"Yes, you guessed?" Even Lin Si couldn't help but feel a little surprised, could his intentions be so easy to see through?
Ji Bingyun pursed his lips and smiled: "Originally, it was just a guess, but if you came here on purpose, I can almost confirm it." ”
Lin Si bowed slightly, yes, it was not normal for the army of the Moon Kingdom to pour out.
Indeed, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and the attack on Southern Qi is a battle to destroy the country, of course, you need to go all out.
But such a large number of troops went out to fight, and the burden on the rear was also enormous. With the current erosive situation of Southern Qi, Lin Si actually didn't need to dispatch such a huge army at all, and he was also very sure of winning.
Obviously, Ji Bingyun saw something from this anomaly.
"That's right, the reason why I made a big fanfare was to lure the steppe people to make a move. Grassland and Nanqi actually have already had the intention of joining forces, right?"
If Lin Si hadn't said it himself, I'm afraid no one would have thought that he was obviously about to attack the Moon Kingdom of Southern Qi and planned to attack the grassland at the same time.
Fighting on both sides at the same time sounds arrogant, but it often leads to a deterioration of the situation on both sides.
It's just that Ji Bingyun didn't question him, she instead asked with a smile: "Is Fourth Brother Lin planning to use a trick to lure the enemy? Let the grassland people mistakenly think that our rear is empty, and we can give them an opportunity to take advantage of?"
Lin Si had to admit that discussing the war with Ji Bingyun was indeed extremely simple and easy, and many things didn't need him to explain at all, and the other party could directly guess everything behind.
This made him think of Lao Mu again, and he had the impression that no one else could grasp his intentions so clearly at any time except him.
He nodded: "That's right, the most difficult thing for the steppe people is that they escape quickly, and it is difficult to find out. Rather than this, it is better to lure them out and annihilate them in one fell swoop, which can save countless troubles. ”
Indeed, if the steppe cavalry is facing each other head-on, the threat is not too great, after all, now that the army of the Moon Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger, the masters are even more incomparable.
But the most troublesome thing about the steppe cavalry is that they are mobile and flexible, coming and going like the wind, and they can't be found at all. When the time comes, it is easy to fall into the dilemma of a large army going deep into the grassland and fighting for tens of thousands of miles without a single enemy being able to touch it.
Lin Si can be a magical scout in the sky, but unless an encirclement is set up, it may be difficult for the cavalry of the Moon Kingdom to catch up with the grassland cavalry, which is the innate difference between war horses and equestrianism.
Moreover, Lin Si himself has to preside over the war on Nanqi's side, how can he have time to clone?
If you can lure out all the steppe cavalry and give the opponent a heavy blow head-on, then of course you can save countless things.
"We can outflank each other and block them near the city. In that way, even if the steppe people finally wanted to escape, there was no way out. Ji Bingyun naturally thought of a more perfect tactic.
"Yes, that's the way to go. It's up to you to figure out the specific tactics. ”
"Fourth Brother Lin is planning for me to command the Battle of the Grassland?"
Lin Si laughed: "Of course, let you fight the grassland country, I am very relieved, I will let Second Brother Ye assist you." ”
"Second Brother Ye, that's the best. Ji Bingyun also had a comfortable smile on his face.
Among the generals of the Moon Kingdom, the closest to her is naturally Ye Hong. With him here, Ji Bingyun didn't need to worry about anything other than tactics at all.
"How many men do you need for this battle?"
"Three hundred thousand is enough. ”
Lin Si frowned and said, "Is it too few?" I'm afraid the grassland cavalry will not be less than 500,000 this time. ”
Ji Bingyun shook his head: "Fighting on the grassland, too many people are not good, the supply is insufficient, and there will be big problems in logistics." 300,000, in fact, is enough. ”
"Well, I'll arrange it as soon as possible. ”
When Lin Si and Ji Bingyun were talking happily, the third person in the tent finally couldn't help but 'pour cold water'.
"You two, did you think everything too smoothly? You expected that the steppe people would be lured out by you? What if they didn't move? You expected the location of the steppe people's attack, and then accurately cut off the retreat in advance?"
That's right, Xie Shaoying is really not interested in the war, and he can't think of any strategy for him to think of. But at least, he can still understand it, after all, Lin Ji and the others have spoken so clearly and clearly.
He knew that the reason why Lin Ji and the others sent an army of three million to attack Southern Qi this time was to deliberately create an empty situation within their own side, so that the grassland people thought that they had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Then they secretly ambushed the men in advance, and it was this group of steppe people who were waiting.
Still, he felt that the plan was too much to take for granted.
If this is someone else, he won't bother to say anything, but this is a matter for Lin Si and Ji Bingyun, and he still can't sit idly by after all.
It's just that Lin Si didn't explain to him immediately, but instead teased him.
"Oh, Xiaoying is so concerned about the war, and she is still talking about the truth, this is really beyond the expectations of the fourth brother, is this also the work of Bingyun?" haha!"
"I'm talking to you about business!" Xie Shaoying gritted his teeth, this guy really can't be respected.
From the first day of meeting to the present, his hippie smiling face has not changed much. More often than not, I feel that he is too underwhelmed, but I can't beat him!
"I'm also talking about business, you two, when are you going to have a child?" Lin Si squeezed his eyebrows and said, "This is a lifelong event!"
Yue Luoning urged him, he is good now, and he is urging Xie Shaoying.
"You can go back!"
"Don't be like this, you know that the fourth brother has always cared about you. ”
"Alright, okay, you two just don't mess around. Ji Bingyun came out with a wry smile on his face.
A similar scene, she often saw it when she was in the city of the school garden, Lin Si seemed to like teasing Xie Shaoying very much, and it was on the premise that she knew that Xie Shaoying didn't like to joke.
This kind of bad taste made her incomprehensible, and Xie Shaoying, who was not gentle in temper, really didn't turn her face because of this.
"I can't really guarantee that the steppes will attack us, and this trick won't work, and we won't lose anything, will we?" In the end, Lin Si still gave an explanation.
"Why?" Xie Shaoying asked with a puzzled expression.
As for the laughter just now, it was as if it hadn't happened at all.
"Because they are steppe people, the style of the steppe people has always been the style of horse thieves. Grab and run, and destroy as much as possible. They care about immediate gain, not what occupies the city. In the face of the empty Moon Country, it is difficult for them not to be tempted, and they know anyway that even if they don't do that, we will still fight them in the future. Especially now, they're going to do that......"
"What's going on now?"
"Now is the time for them to join forces with Nanqi, we fight Nanqi, they sneak attack our rear, forcing us to return to the army to save ourselves, and finally mess up our position, which is in line with the gist of the art of war. ”
"Since it is in line with the gist of the Art of War, how can it be used by the two of you?"
As for where they will eventually attack, this can only rely on the news of the assassins of the Ten Directions Building, as well as Bingyun's judgment. In addition to the west of the Moon Country, it is the south of Qianlan. ”
