Fighting a war is a cumbersome matter, and the foundation of sweeping all directions is all before the war, and the so-called temple calculation refers to this. Whether the territory of the enemy and us is stable, and whether the mobilization and industrial capabilities can keep up with the needs of the operation, population resources, mineral resources, and strategic depth are the basic plates. It can be said that fighting a war can best reflect the basic situation of a region or country. Obviously, population resources, mineral resources, and strategic depth all occupy an absolute advantage, and the gap in weapons is by no means as big as the gap in propaganda, what is the reason for the most deadly one? Unpopularity and loose organization may be the most direct reason.

Hua Houwei clearly knew that the territory he really ruled was only the three provinces of Nanzhili, Anhui, and Jiangxi, half of which was in Zhejiang, half in Guangdong, and one-third in Guangxi. From the perspective of population resources, mineral resources, and strategic depth, it is at a disadvantage compared with the north. And the advantage is the weapon, the economy, and the ability to mobilize.

After taking stock of the family, there are not many soldiers who can fight, and there are only 100,000 people so far. However, after the establishment of the reserve force in recent years, the maximum value of the army can theoretically reach 500,000. The key is weapons, ammunition, and food, and in this respect they have a great advantage, and their stocks of weapons and ammunition are enough to arm 600,000 people, and under the premeditated planning of Liu Jian and others, they have already hoarded a huge reserve of grain that can feed 30 million people for a year, as well as a large number of compressed biscuits in the war readiness warehouse.

At the beginning of winter, the cold wind rises. Hua Houwei stood on the high platform of the teaching military field, looking at the silent and dense square team under the stage, his heart was surging. The use of soldiers in winter is really taboo, but the arrow has to be sent! One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. Hua Houwei clearly knew that it seemed that he was invincible, but in fact, once those people were united, he was afraid that he would be in danger of overturning. That's why he ignored everyone's opposition and resolutely sent troops to the Northern Expedition.

Of course, it is not without benefits, he is difficult, and the army in the north is even more difficult. As long as the logistics can keep up, Hua Houwei is still seventy percent sure. Looking at Wan Songlin, Qi Youshan, Tang Zhongze and others around him, Huahou waved his hand and was impassioned: "I am determined to hang the people and fight for the crime of killing the king and usurping the throne. Bah! Lao Tzu wants to take revenge and avenge Emperor Zhengde, are the brothers willing to kill Lao Tzu in the capital?"

Guo Guizi in the audience roared: "Kill the capital!" The soldiers around him roared in unison: "Kill the capital!" 100,000 soldiers also shouted, "Kill the capital!" Sonic boom, straight into the sky! The entire Jinling City reverberated with the sound of iron and blood!

Hua Houwei nodded with satisfaction: "Lao Tzu is in charge personally, Meng Heizi!"

"Here!"

"You kid has been following Lao Tzu for a long time, play the striker for Lao Tzu! Now, the 3rd Division of the 1st Army of the Great Ming Wing Army is under your command and will take over the flag!"

"Guo Devil!" "Cui Lao Er!" "Niu Yaowu!"

The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying! 100,000 sons and daughters are tigers and wolves! Hua Houwei stood on the high platform, looking at the 100,000 sons and daughters with the flag fluttering, and couldn't help but be proud!

Liu Jian leaned over and sighed with a smile: "It's really the master of tigers and wolves! Your Majesty, the military heart can be used!"

Hua Houwei smiled and nodded: "I have this heroic teacher, where in the world can I go?" Master Liu, Jinling will entrust it to you!"

Liu Jian bowed down and bowed: "Dare not die!" The old minister only wishes that the Ming Sea is clear, the Li people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Han family is proud of the world!"

Hua Hou Wei laughed and pointed to the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains: "It's almost there! Soon! Master Liu, after I sit on the dragon chair in the Forbidden City, the Ming Dynasty will never stop fighting against the outside world! Others spend money on wars, and I will earn back the money for fighting three wars if I fight one war! It is not advisable to be ruthless in force, and even less is it advisable to be timid and conservative!"

Only then did Liu Jian put his mind at ease and laughed: "Your Majesty scared the old minister! It is well said, it is not advisable to be reckless, and it is even more undesirable to be timid and conservative! Alas, it's a pity that the old minister is old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to see this prosperous world!"

Xie Qian walked over: "Lord Liu is too worried! Not to mention that Lord Liu is in good health, what if he goes west tomorrow? Don't you hear that you can die at night? Prosperity is not a one-day achievement, and it is a blessing for you and me to be able to see hope!"

"Yes, yes! The old man thought badly! Ha ha! He got what he wanted in his life, and even if he was tired to death, the old man was very happy in his heart!"

Wang Yangming was struggling to support Pei County at this time

As soon as the wolf was killed, the Yizhen army retreated to Zhengji, and the army's heart fluctuated, and it was not until Wang Yangming arrived that a counterattack was launched. However, the Ming army in Hubei, Zhejiang, Henan, and Fujian provinces attacked Huahouwei's territory on a large scale, and Wang Yangming had no choice but to divide his troops, leaving only 20,000 people on the front line, and lost his offensive ability.

The news of Huahou Wei's return was strictly controlled by the Jinling side, and the emperor did not hype it up, but only spread it through the intelligence system of the Mining Investigation Bureau, and it had not yet reached Pei County at the moment.

Pei County has long been a ruined wall, the vertical and horizontal ditches of Qianmo and the collapsed city wall of Pei County are connected, and the serpentine barbed wire fence surrounds the Wing Zhen Army and Pei County. Pei County is adjacent to the Grand Canal and Weishan Lake, with abundant precipitation, so the groundwater level is high, so the trenches are ankle-deep water. This is true not only of the Wing Army, but also of the New Army on the other side. net

Although the new army had the advantage, it could not break through Wang Yangming's defense line head-on. Moreover, Wang Yangming fought flexibly, sometimes he would attack instead of defending, and suddenly attacked, making Lei Buyu embarrassed, but he was helpless. I had to follow Wang Yangming's example, using trenches against trenches, 75 mountain artillery against 75 mountain artillery, in short, soldiers against generals, wanting to crush Wang Yangming with huge capital.

Hua Houwei's Chinese army came to Suqian, and the army set up camp. After Hua Houwei washed up briefly, he stared at the wall chart and pondered. Wan Songlin stood behind him as his chief of staff, following Hua Houwei's gaze, thinking slightly.

"Pinewood, what do you see?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lei Buyu and Lord Wang have made a mistake and their thinking is limited to the Grand Canal. If you are a minister leading the troops, you can completely break through from Shanxian and mighty and detour to the Grand Canal. The current war relies heavily on logistical supplies, and the minister knows that Lord Wang's idea is to rely on the capacity of the Grand Canal to cut off the grain transported from the Grand Canal to the capital. It's too rigid, though."

Huahou Wei smiled and turned around: "You underestimate my senior brother too much! Songlin, do you think Senior Brother didn't see through this? You're wrong! Before I come back, the mobility of our Wing Army is inferior to that of the New Army."

Wan Songlin suddenly realized: "Horse! Cavalry! What Your Majesty said is that the minister underestimated the master!"

Hua Houwei smiled and patted Wan Songlin: "The son can be taught! Yes, with the strength of the Japanese army, why did I want them to go up with all their troops? Not for these hundreds of thousands of war horses? Before the chariot comes out, the cavalry is invincible!"

After the two discussed for a while, Hua Houwei's general orders were issued in a row, and the two partial armies of the Wing Army quietly left. Hua Houwei's Chinese army continued to advance and approached Peixian.

Thirty miles away from Pei County, Hua Houwei ordered the whole army to stop advancing. He stared at the map, constantly measuring it in his mind, and suddenly raised his head and ordered, "Guo Devil!"

"Here!"

"The artillery division conducts fire reconnaissance, waits for the enemy to return fire, and knocks out their artillery!"

"Yes!"

"Meng Heizi!"

"Here!"

"After Guo Guizi's fire reconnaissance, launch an attack immediately! No matter what method you use, I must break through at least two lines of defense of the New Army before it gets dark! You don't have to worry about your flanks, naturally someone else will do it! I remind you that you can use sappers and civil engineering to pass through the trenches. In addition, Chu Haikuo used a cart to water the quilt and carry the sand to block my Makqin, you can also try!"

After the arrangement, Hua Houwei raised his binoculars and waited for the general attack to begin. Woohoo! Ten 75 mountain cannons roared, and the positions of the new army suddenly splashed and dirt flew everywhere. Lei Buyu has already been waiting for him, no matter who comes, he will not come back!

"Your Excellency! The Wing Commander's artillery is sharp, do you want to return fire?"

Loose scolded: "Nonsense! Don't fight back after being beaten? Beat! Call me back!"

Boom! The New Army's 75 Mountain Artillery also began to roar, and the shells crossed the trenches and hit the dirt indiscriminately, blowing up clouds of muddy water.

"Shoot the Yuan! Azimuth 27-00, firing angle 06-80! - Release!" A bunch of observers with pencils nervously calculated, constantly reporting the numbers, and the commander of the artillery company on the side commanded his subordinates, loaded and fired!

Woohoo! Ten cannons instantly increased several times, and according to the data revealed by the observers, the artillery of the new army was cleared at a fixed point

Except. Fortunately, this was not the preset battlefield of the Wing Army, and without an accurate secret map, the artillery of the New Army did not suffer a devastating blow. But even then, two 75 mountain guns were hit by shrapnel and malfunctioned.

Lei Buyu frowned, the reinforcements of this wing army were so strong, and Wang Yangming's soldiers seemed to be a little bit behind before! He immediately ordered the zigzag line to be on high alert, and once the enemy army was spotted, counterattack on the spot!

Meng Heizi moved, with a battalion serving as the main attack, and a company on each side carrying out a diversionary attack. Tan Guangsong, commander of the fifth battalion, gave an order, and more than 500 officers and men instantly filled the forward position. Under the three-three system, one platoon is an offensive sector of several hundred meters.

Da-da-da-da! Makqin's tongue of fire finally appeared, and immediately several fighters fell to the ground, and red blood continued to flow out. Sou! Sou! The grenade guns also fought back very quickly, and several thunderbolts flew towards the firing points of the Forces nouvelles, blowing up clumps of dirt.

Mortars and howitzers were combined with each other, and the fire phoenix was covered, and the fighters who had just been suppressed by Makqin jumped up and quickly rushed towards the forward position! Bang! Bang! The new army has snipers, and the wing army also has a large number of snipers, and the attacking fighters are constantly hit by bullets, and the snipers of the new army are also constantly retaliating shells and thunders, pressed to the ground and rubbed hard. The battle is in full swing!
