Chapter 657: Tactical Genius
From the perspective of strategy and tactics, Zhou Shicheng is a big step ahead of everyone under Song Ziyu.
This kind of leadership requires a combination of talent and actual combat, as well as its own excellent military quality.
It just so happens that Zhou Shicheng has it all.
……
After the troops left Guanglan City, Zhou Shicheng directly took the strategic center Xiangcheng.
Outside the city, the two sides have a direct confrontation!
In this battle, the carts and horses of both sides fought hard, but the result was somewhat unexpected.
The Miluo crusade army led by Chi Shangxiong could not withstand the frontal offensive under Zhou Shicheng's command, and was faintly defeated.
Grab the bull by the horns!
Chi Shangxiong gave up Xiangcheng and led the army to retreat.
Throw off your armor!
The Mi Luo army discarded a large amount of baggage, and Zhou Shicheng won another one.
Seeing that the enemy looked like a bear, many generals speculated that the previous defeat under Guanglan City had made the Miluo army not slow down!
This is the opponent's battle???????????????? The key to losing the position is more critical!
With this consensus, the tails of many generals in the Western Expeditionary Army were cocked again.
Some even stood up and begged the leader to bite the other party's tail and not give Ji Shangxiong a chance to retreat safely.
Faced with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pursue, Zhou Shicheng, who had always fought harder than anyone else, changed his normal state and announced that the garrison would not advance, and the army would be replenished in Xiangcheng on the spot, and no one was allowed to attack without authorization, and those who violated the order were severely punished in accordance with military law.
……
This order is like letting a wild horse that has run happily retract its hooves.
A lot of people are obviously unhappy.
But it turned out that Zhou Shicheng's series of operations were really anticipating the enemy's opportunity, and Chi Shangxiong waited in the dense forest outside Xiangcheng with an ambush for three days!
Three days!
Zhou Shicheng had no intention of sending troops!
Ji Shangxiong lay down in the woods and ate the soil for three days, the was all pulled in the crotch of his pants, and many soldiers had mushrooms on their bodies...... But he didn't wait for the enemy, and in the end, he had to order his subordinates to retreat with Chi Shangxiong in disgrace.
After the Miluo army was defeated, Abbot Song Ziyu reviewed the battle situation, Tang Jian and Zhang Dahu asked Zhou Shicheng very curiously how he saw through Chi Shangxiong's strategy of feigning defeat and intending to sneak attack.
Zhou Shicheng just replied lightly, although Chi Shangxiong was defeated in the battle to capture Xiangcheng, the retreating army was defeated but not chaotic, and even the discarded baggage was selectively discarded, which must be an ambush.
Hearing Zhou Shicheng's words, Tang Jian and Zhang Dahu suddenly realized.
It turns out that the battle between famous generals is not only a confrontation between the big picture and the big strategy, but also the control of details and psychological speculation.
……
After the Battle of Xiangcheng, Zhou Shicheng repaired for three days.
The rested army was reinvigorated and became fierce.
Three days later, Zhou Shicheng waved his army to continue the campaign!
This time, Zhou Shicheng showed the strong demeanor of a famous general!
Zhou Shicheng divided two partial divisions, one with the strongest mobility of about 500 people, all equipped with mountain off-road vehicles...... These mountain off-road vehicles were poured out by Song Ziyu from the missile base and arsenal in the Zhijiang River Valley, and are now led by Zhang Dahu.
Zhou Shicheng ordered Zhang Dahu to take this highly mobile Biao army to make a detour and then go straight to the Huishui area.
The area of the Mishma is unremarkable on the map, but it is seven inches of the long supply route of the Miro army.
Because of the flat terrain and clean water source in the migratory area, it was the only choice for Chi Nao-woong to supply resources from the city-state of Mira.
But there is no danger to defend this place, so I didn't choose to build a city here in the first place.
Hit the snake and hit the seven inches!
Zhou Shicheng asked Zhang Dahu to lead a mobile unit equipped with mountain off-road vehicles to attack and harass, the purpose of which was to cut off Chi Shangxiong's front-line supplies.
???????????????? Of course, Zhou Shicheng believed that with Ji Shangxiong's ability, it would definitely be impossible for him to easily cut off his supply line, but he only needed to harass him and make him annoyed enough.
Next, Zhou Shicheng continued to arrange.
The second detachment was led by Zuo Zhen and Yu Keqin with more than 4,000 people.
This detachment divided its troops to the north and attacked Wancheng, which was occupied by Chi Shangxiong.
Zuo Zhen had already shown his value in fighting with Zhou Shicheng before this, so he was trusted by Zhou Shicheng.
After all, he is a general trained by the military academy of the Northern Iron and Steel Alliance, and his command level is still quite good!
……
Zuo Zhen got Zhou Shicheng's order and set off with more than 4,000 people.
This group of troops was all formed by the backbone of the original Third Division, and although its strength was not as good as that of the Longshan soldiers, it was not much worse.
This group of people still had some scruples in Song Ziyu's hands, and they didn't dare to let it go.
But when it comes to Zhou Shicheng, he doesn't care at all.
Why?
Because everyone has surrendered.
The so-called eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, the ingredients are the same.
If there is any difference, it must be because Zhou Shicheng is "bringing capital into the shares", while Zuo Zhen was completely convinced and forced to join.
Everyone has similar ingredients, Zhou Shicheng uses Zuo Zhen with peace of mind!
Not only that, Zhou Shicheng also deliberately gathered Zuo Zhen's troops together, and then led by Zuo Zhen himself, such a "grace of knowing the situation" made Zuo Zhen very convinced of Zhou Shicheng.
This time, Zuo Zhen went straight to Wancheng with his headquarters soldiers and horses, and began to ponder a question in his heart.
Zhou Shicheng and himself taught him that it was appropriate to lead the army to attack Wancheng at this time, and its purpose was not Wancheng at all.
It's just a Wancheng and you can take it!
The real purpose of this operation was to take the opportunity to force the local main forces to appear in a decisive battle. Zhou Shicheng entrusted him with a heavy task, which was to let his thousands of people create the illusion that Zhou Shicheng's main force wanted to take Wancheng.
As for Zhou Shicheng himself, he will lead his troops to ambush on the only way to Wancheng......
Zhou Shicheng has already chosen the battlefield and plans to give Chi Shangxiong a black tiger heart.
How to get Ji Sang-woong in?
This requires some skill.
How to make the defenders panic and ask for help from Chi Shangxiong?
This is a technical issue.
Zuo Zhen can't beat the other party to death in a reckless wave, let alone let the other party see through his true strength.
In order to solve this problem, Zuo Zhen can be described as a competitive brain.
Ultimately!
really figured out the doorway for Zuo Zhen.
……
When the army approached Wancheng, Zuo Zhen did not immediately lead the army to attack the city.
On the contrary, Zuo Zhen divided the army in two, and a part of the army was stationed on the outskirts of Wancheng???????????????? In the woods, the other part was placed on the mountains farther away by the left earthquake.
The soldiers in the woods cut down a large number of branches and made thousands of fork-headed brooms.
When the broom is finished, everyone starts cleaning up in the forest!
Thousands of people are hoarsing together, and they are not afraid of any pneumoconiosis, but they just make the dust fly all over the world.
In this way, looking from the direction of Wancheng, the black pressure in the forest seems to be hidden, I don't know how many soldiers and horses will make it so smoky and soar into the sky.
And that's just one trick!
The soldiers stationed in the mountains built hundreds of flagpoles on the felled trees, and then hung all kinds of colorful underpants with flagpoles as flags.
These hundreds of underwear fluttering in the wind, as if they were hundreds of flags, highlight the majesty and majesty!
The atmosphere seems to be in place, but Zuo Zhen always feels that there are shortcomings.
But what?
Of course, there is a lack of sound!
This is not difficult to shake the left.
Under General Zuo's order, dozens of locomotives were assembled together, the horns were fully amplified, and all kinds of noises tearing eardrums were vigorously made, and as much movement as could be made.
After this time, the surroundings of Wancheng began to jump!
Boy!
The guard of Wancheng was born in a famous family, and he was a pampered bloodline nobleman, where had he ever seen such a scene, and he was scared on the spot.
The guards thought that his mother's thousands of horses had been crushed.
Without thinking about it, this guard general from a noble blood line sent twelve of his subordinates to ask for help from Chi Shangxiong.
These rushing messengers for help ordered Zuo Zhen to kill most of them, but only symbolically let go of two or three people.
Zuo Zhen is a more serious person, of course, he must act in a full set of acts, and actors must also have self-cultivation.
