Chapter III: The Law of Defending the City
Although it is incredible, but with a sigh, Fang Li can only say that he should accept it, in fact, reality is always more than theory, because theory has to deal with a very strange thing, which is called logic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And logic is born from reality, but when someone hears the reality of the situation and swears that reality should be logical, it is really ridiculous.
In reality, there are many, many times when people make very strange and unreasonable decisions, and in these decisions there will be more or less things that cannot be called reasons in the first place, and the result can only be said that everyone's worldview is different.
Riding on top of the war horse, Li glanced back at the neat military appearance behind him, although there were many people, Fang Li was still satisfied with this military appearance. As for the armor on his body, Fang Li didn't care, because Fang Li was different from Taibai Jushi, Taibai Jushi's swordsmanship was all for killing, and for how to kill people efficiently, it can be said that it was the most complex battlefield requirements of the sword, this kind of kendo requires not fast, not accurate, not ruthless, but killing, as long as it kills and as long as you can kill the other party's people alive, then all the costs can be paid.
But Fang Li is different, if there is a choice, Fang Li will end the battle as perfectly as possible. Moreover, Fang Li now found that he was not only a cultivator of the three realms of spirit and spirit, but even a cultivator of the two veins of the sword path, that is, the magic weapon flying sword attack and the weapon sword practitioner in close combat, so what Fang Li needed in the battle was a sword dao divine power with strong attack power, strong divine defense, high-speed battlefield mobility and battlefield cutting ability, and even a sensitive body was a must. Therefore, the defensive power of the armor is not needed, and it is just to look a little better.
In this world, because people will be nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, and because the material is relatively abundant, 100,000 of the 600,000 army are cavalry, and 100,000 are infantry with horses, so there are 200,000 people in front of the road, and the infantry in the rear can drive to the highest speed at all, and there is no need for any caution at all.
Because of the strength of the body, in this world, the normal cavalry can travel more than a thousand miles a day, and the marching speed of the infantry is also very terrifying, and it can reach a distance of three or four hundred miles a day, that is to say, it only takes ten days for the cavalry to reach the last more than 10,000 miles from the Qingyin Pass, and even six or seven days under the forced march can be reached, and the infantry only needs about a month to reach.
In fact, this speed is also very commonsense, that is, the Chang'an Empire is 50,000 miles long, Chang'an City is actually not in the middle, but near the west, and the farthest from Chang'an City is the Qingyin Pass, which is 30,000 miles. This happened to be a 100-day trip for the infantry army, and in fact, for the Empire, it also reached the periphery of imperial rule to a certain extent.
The imperial border is the distance of the army in 100 days, of course, there is a 10-day transmission distance of information in front, but in the case of a teleportation array and a teleportation jade slip, even if it is a million miles and thousands of miles of news, it can be reached every other day, so it is not a big problem.
But this time the war Gu Haotian and others did not mean to go for half a year, there were too many variables, so the army was constantly collecting horses along the way, although the infantry could not get horses to become cavalry, but riding horses was not a problem in the case of stirrups.
When night fell, Fang Li and the others had already set up camp in a valley as the vanguard, Fang Li walked in the vanguard of the white-robed army this time, and today before dawn, he had already begun to prepare to set off, and everyone left the Qingyin Pass at the time of the hour, and then the white-robed army directly began to forcibly march, and by now, Fang Li and the others had forcibly marched for two thousand miles, completely out of touch with the army behind.
Of course, Taibai is not stupid, and when he forcibly marches, he also tries his best to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army and not let the soldiers get too tired because of the march. The cultivation realm set up camp very quickly, but in a moment, the camp had only been arranged in the hands of those soldiers with storage magic weapons.
Fang Li and Taibai didn't need to sleep at all, after going around the barracks to confirm that everything was normal, Fang Li and Taibai came directly to the main tent, and after just sitting down, Fang Li asked Taibai Jushi: "Jushi, why are we in such a hurry, you must know that now we are more than a thousand miles away from the rear army, so even if I wait under Xianyang City, it is useless, even if the white robe is elite but there is no siege equipment, it is impossible to conquer the fortified city defended by tens of thousands of people."
Taibai Jushi looked at Fang Li, who was anxious in front of him, and laughed twice but did not answer directly, but stared straight at Fang Li. Although Fang Li's strength is already extremely high now, and he can also be regarded as a person with a lot of position in the Chang'an Empire now, but after all, Taibai Jushi has already known Fang Li, and Fang Li was still a child in the martial realm back then, so he has no scruples about facing Fang Li.
And Fang Li's heart was furious when he was stared at like this by Taibai Jushi, although he still didn't understand why this move was, but he also knew that there must be a deep meaning in it, and it was not that the white-robed army ran fast but simply ran fast.
When he thought of this, Fang Li asked tentatively: "Layman, could it be that we did this on purpose, what is the deep meaning?"
Taibai Jushi was a little better when he heard Fang Li say this, of course, in fact, Taibai Jushi's expectations for Fang Li were a little high, you must know that according to Fang Li's performance, Taibai and the others directly put the standard of peerless genius on Fang Li's head, and this is indeed Taibai Jushi overestimated Fang Li, after all, Fang Li's contact war is still relatively small, so he can't directly see through the doorway at a glance.
And Taibai Jushi didn't have anything to hide, and began to explain directly to Fang Li.
"The comparison of strength between the two armies has always been the most important measure of the battle, although we have 600,000 troops, and Qinzhou is now isolated, the army that can be drawn has been drawn eight or nine out of ten, and the remaining soldiers who can fight are only about 50,000, even if they temporarily gather those county soldiers with combat power and the newly retired army, they are only more than 100,000 at most, even if those Tuntian soldiers can make more than 100,000 or 200,000, but the gap in combat effectiveness is very large, and the war can still support the scene when the war is smooth, but it may also add chaos in times of adversity。 So in this battle we have an absolute advantage in troops. But it's a pity that we don't have enough food and grass in logistics, and when the infantry in the back comes to the main city of Qinzhou, we can only have one month's grain and grass resources left, so we must fight quickly. But if the main city of Qinzhou is directly besieged, then with a group of rabble, not to mention a month in front of the army of 600,000 tigers and wolves, it can be held for two or three days, even if the other party has a good way of using troops. ”
When Fang Li said this, he gradually understood, it seemed that the other party would definitely not feel at ease to defend against the smell, and that was not a long-term solution.
And Taibai's words later also verified Fang Li's thoughts.
"Therefore, if the other party wants to defend the city, then it must first defeat our small forward troops, and then do it. Therefore, we took the first step in order to be able to collide with the opponent's assault force that had just left the city and defeat it in the form of a field battle, so that it would be much easier to take Qinzhou. ”
