Chapter 1031 - On Paper
said that he was eating and drinking, but when he chatted, he still couldn't help but talk about business.
Li Wanyun seemed to casually ask about the garrison situation in Jiangdong, and Lin Han naturally knew everything and said everything.
"Well, when Yizhou invaded Minzhou County, you were also controlled by Li Feng for a while, right?" Li Wanyun suddenly asked.
"Yes, at that time, the King of Fengyang also transferred 3,000 people from his headquarters to support the Sailor Division...... Lin Han sighed, "But only more than half of them came back, and more than 1,000 brothers did not say anything, and they were blamed by the prince of Fengyang, saying that I was not diligent in training, not good at leading the troops, and the soldiers who were pulled out were vulnerable. ”
"Your soldiers didn't fight well, shouldn't you be the prince of Fengyang? Hehe, the people who were played by our Fengyang prince have to lose their skin if they don't die, you Lin Handong didn't demote you, and you didn't get rid of your office, but just gave you a little excess, which is already a great joy, you don't thank God for Amitabha, why are you still sighing? ”
Li Hong touched his big belly and disagreed, feeling that Lin Handong relied on the power of the Queen Mother, so he had never suffered any losses, and now he just carried a small punishment and complained.
Don't you know how miserable those generals who were played by Li Feng during the First World War in Minzhou? There were four or five beheadings alone!
"The battle was lost, the casualties were extremely heavy, and it should be punished, Prince Li Feng's military law is strict, so I don't have to say it, but it is not very appropriate for him to transfer my Jiangdong soldiers to fight a water war, and the young general also argued with the prince for this......" Lin Han said and shook his head again and again, wanting to stop talking.
"General Lin, your soldiers in Jiangdong can't fight water wars? Can't you? Don't you have a sailor under your command? Liu Wenzheng was surprised when he heard this.
"Lord Wenzheng doesn't know, but the soldiers of my Jiangdong County are not locals, but transferred from the mainland, so they are all landlubbers, not familiar with water, some brothers have never been on a boat in their lives, and they will be dizzy when they get on the boat, if they encounter a little wind and waves, they will not be able to stand on their feet, let alone fight."
"As for the sailors, there are no sailors, but there are dozens of small river boats, all of which are used to maintain order in the port and carry out patrol tasks at the sea entrance stage, and there are only more than 1,000 people in total, so they can't fight any naval battles at all...... Besides, it was the heavy infantry that Prince Li Feng transferred at the beginning, and it was not them. ”
When Lin Handong heard Liu Wenzheng ask, he knew that he was a civilian official who did not understand military affairs.
The garrisons in various parts of the Great Zhou, from the officers to the soldiers, were not locals, but soldiers from all over the Great Zhou rotated back and forth.
This is to avoid the formation of local forces, so although there are many people on the Jiangdong coast, there are many people who are accustomed to water, but the garrison may not be.
Lin Han was ordered by King Li Feng and did not dare to slack off, and deliberately transferred his elite department, thinking that it was used for land warfare, but unexpectedly, because of the serious shortage of the Great Zhou Naval Division, Li Feng actually sent these heavy infantry directly to the ship to fight, which led to heavy losses.
This matter made him extremely dissatisfied, and he quarreled with Li Feng very fiercely, but it was not as simple as arguing two sentences.
Li Feng was furious, so he joined him, and the wording was quite harsh, but Li Wanjiang did not approve it, but only handed it over to the Ministry of War for punishment.
The Ministry of War took into account the relationship between Lin Han and the Queen Mother, and knew that this matter was not actually his fault, so it just gave him a punishment without pain and suppressed the matter.
"If it was a prince who didn't understand military affairs, the young general wouldn't be angry, but Prince Li Feng was obviously a person who had led troops for many years, how could he not know that the heavy infantry was not good at water warfare? What's more, the other party is still Xiao Xinghan's elite sailor. Lin Handong held his breath in his heart, this is just waiting for Li Wanyun's face, otherwise he will shoot the case directly.
"Well, water warfare is not good, so what about land warfare and mountain warfare?" Li Wanyun asked again.
"Lord Wang, you use soldiers like gods, don't you know that soldiers, murderous things, instantaneous situations, changes are treacherous, so no matter what kind of battle, there is no reason to win, but if it is a land battle, the young general leads the troops, and the other party is almost the same as us, if you dare not guarantee victory, but you will not lose too badly." Lin Han said cautiously.
"General Handong, doesn't that sound like a good thing?" Li Hong said with a smile.
"Master Li, you can't just rely on your mouth to fight a war, it is important to improve morale, but it is the morale of the soldiers that is improved, we can't be rash as generals, we must know ourselves and our opponents, be cautious, tremble, and walk on thin ice." Lin Han East Road.
"Well, Handon's words also make sense." Li Wanyun ordered someone to take a military map and hang it on the wall, but he saw that all the place names on it were pasted, and only the heavens and the earth were replaced by some numbers.
There are also some small characters written on it with the basic information of the city, such as how high and thick the city wall is, how much grain and grass there is in the city, how many armaments, how many garrisons and so on.
"Handong, there are 3,000 garrisons in the third city of Bingsan on the edge of Shandong, there are small roads in the mountains, and the defense situation is unknown, you lead 5,000 troops to attack from the west side of Shanxi, and you must take the third city of Bingsan within seven days, how do you want to fight?" Li Wanyun pointed to the map and asked Lin Han.
"Let's take a closer look." Lin Han walked to the map and watched with his arms folded for a long time, then suddenly shook his head, "Lord Wang, this battle can't be fought, and it can't be fought, let alone five thousand people, even if it is ten thousand people, they can't take the third city in seven days." ”
"Oh?" Li Wanyun frowned, "Then you won't fight according to you?" ”
"Lord Wang, this Bingsan City is built on the mountain, with a natural danger barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack, a bit similar to our Yanyun Pass...... It was a situation where a husband and wife could not open it, but the difference was that it was a lonely city, and it was far away from other cities, so the humble opinion of the young general was not to hit him, but to bypass it directly from the right side of the mountain and isolate it. ”
Lin Han pointed on the map, his mouth like a river. He thinks that this city seems to be dangerous, as if it is choking the throat of the terrain, but in fact, in a strategic sense, this location is not important.
Just because it is an isolated city with no support for hundreds of miles, it has no impact on the entire battlefield situation, and there is no need to storm it at all.
But if the prince must take this city, then it cannot be limited to seven days, and must give me at least two months, because the young general must first clear the mountains and forests, clean the periphery, and then camp under his city.
You can try to provoke the opposing defenders and lead them out to a decisive battle, so that they can't hold on to the fortified city, and send death squads to the city at night to harass them, and if they can get lucky enough to sneak in, they will set fire to them and launch a general attack while the chaos is in chaos.
Of course, this is all a small plan, and the young general thinks that if he wants to capture this city, he can use the method of digging tunnels.
Dig up from both sides at the same time, one is bright, one is dark, one is virtual, one is real, of course, we have to master the virtual and the real.
This method is a bit clumsy and extremely time-consuming, but it is also the most effective way to attack, and it can also minimize casualties.
In addition, the young generals will also cut down a large number of trees in the mountains, pile them up under the city, and when they are dried by the wind, they will set fires, and there are several other strategies that can be used......
