The Battle of Changping Chapter 205 If you want to defeat Qin, turn defense into offense

Tian Dan was obviously a little confused when he heard this, this pouring rain blocked their sights, didn't it help the Wei army break through? How can it ruin the plans of our army?

Lian Po also sighed softly and said: "General Tian doesn't know, I led the Wei reinforcements to come, and I wanted to make a group with Qin Zhan and form a war of attrition, but I didn't want the Wei army to be weak, although it also consumed 70,000 or 80,000 combat strength of the Qin army, but because the time was still short, there was still a lot of grain in the army."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Tian Dan's heart was trembling, and he even stood a little stunned on the spot.

It's no wonder that Tian Dan, his own army, hundreds of thousands of people worked hard to put on a big play, and because of the mistake of a small supporting role, the stage collapsed, who can stand it? !

It's just that Tian Dan quickly reacted, such an important matter as grain and straw, it is impossible for General Lian Po to think about it now, since General Lian Po knows it, he should be able to break it.

Sure enough, Lian Po immediately continued: "Ben Jiang originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to be the queen of Xinling Jun and burn the remaining grain and straw with a fire! It's better to take advantage of the fire to break out, but it's a pity that ......."

As he spoke, Lian Po slapped his palm on the wooden frame of the sand table and continued, "It's just that people are not as good as heaven. The camp was poured with oil, and the fire was already raging, and even more like a prairie fire, but suddenly it rained heavily. As far as I can see, in a moment the fire in the camp will be extinguished."

"Hey......" Tian Dan sighed unconsciously. I couldn't help but feel more and more sour in my heart, obviously I had already thought of the problem of grain and grass, and I even poured it with fire oil and burned it, but the sky that had been clear for more than a month suddenly began to rain heavily, who could have predicted this?

"Judging by the general, how much food can the Qin army get after the fire?" Tian Dan asked without giving up.

Lian Po pondered for a moment and continued, "With the speed at which the fire spreads, the Qin army can still salvage at least one-sixth to one-fifth of the grain. It should be enough to support the remaining 1230,000 troops of the Qin army for at least seven or eight days, and if it is at the lowest limit, I am afraid it will not be a big problem to hold on for more than 20 days."

Obviously, Lian Po has calculated too much about the harvest of the Qin army, in essence, plus the Qin army's own food stockpiles, it is enough to see that it is enough for seven or eight days, and the gap between this is not only Lian Po's consistent conservative thinking is at fault, but also related to the waste caused by the Qin army's soldiers who are greedy for food.

Of course, such a judgment will not have much impact on the judgment of the strategy in essence. After all, there is a big gap between the grain reserves of one or two days and the grain reserves of five or six days, but the gap between five or six days and six or seven days is actually not as big as imagined.

If it is not possible to break through in five or six days, it may be difficult to break through in six or seven days without great progress. When the same six or seven days can break out, five or six days should be about the same.

However, between the grain that lasts for five or six days and the grain that lasts only one or two days, there is a world of difference between "being" and "nothing". Not to mention the number of days that can be sustained if the amount is reduced, a single bag of grain and straw is moved into the camp, which will boost the morale of all the soldiers, which is enough for tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

What's even worse is that more than 20 days is enough for Qin to dispatch troops in China. And once the Qin State sends reinforcements again, it will be directly inserted into the Light Wolf City from the empty warehouse leader, and under the attack of the Qin army of the Shangdang, how long can the fortress of the Light Wolf City, which is not very strong, be defended?

Once the Qin army rejoins the Guangwolf City, then the pocket array that the Zhao army has worked so hard to lay will be broken, and the battlefield will flow eastward, and it is likely to be a long-term confrontation battle next.

In other words, under the current situation, it is impossible for the Zhao army to wait for the Qin army to run out of food and be defeated by besieging the method again!

Obviously, after hearing Lian Po's judgment on the grain, Tian Dan immediately thought of this consequence.

The two looked at each other again, and there was a little solemnity in their eyes.

Well, just a little bit of dignified, not much of the kind!

"For today's plan, maybe the only way to turn from defense to offense!" Tian Dan sighed softly.

And Lian Po also nodded silently on the side.

Both understood that a heavy rain, while destroying the good situation, was far from discouragement. The Qin army still has flaws to be found, and they are fighting

The absolute initiative of the field is still firmly in its own hands.

Because before the arrival of the Qin army's reinforcements, the Qin army will still form a long period of strength vacuum due to the shortage of grain.

And this period is the time for a decisive battle with the Qin army! It is also the best time to destroy it in one fell swoop.

Judging from the current comparison of the strength of the enemy and us, the strength of the Qin army is only 1230,000, and they are all tired soldiers who have been fighting for more than a month, after a battle with the Wei army, almost everyone is injured, and the morale has also been severely damaged because of repeated tug-of-war, coupled with the shortage of grain, the morale and combat power of the Qin army will further drop to a dangerous point.

On the other hand, the Zhao army, regardless of the nearly 50,000 troops brought out by Zhao Kuo, judging from the strength of Tian Dan and Lian Po alone, there are as many as 140,000, and except for the 20,000 troops in Guangwolf City, the rest of the armies are all waiting for work, and their combat power can be described as strong.

Compared with the two, the difference in combat power is clear at a glance, and it can be said that as long as the timing is right, even if the Qin army cannot be completely annihilated, it can still give the Qin army a painful blow.

The advantage is still mine!

But if you really want to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army, you must go with the mentality of a lion fighting a rabbit, that is to say, you must mobilize all the forces that may be mobilized to meet the battle.

Obviously, this involves a fundamental change in the tactics of war, and it must be recognized by General Zhao Kuo, the person who coordinates the layout.

It's just that even if Zhao Kuo agrees to the change of tactics, this decisive battle is still not what you want to fight, and you can fight if you want to!

Qin Jun Bai Qi is not a fool, he knows that he is invincible, and he is not the act of a wise man. It is very likely that the situation of the line is that the Qin army pretended to engage in battle, but behind the scenes it learned the methods of the Zhao army, and took advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Zhao army, with a small number of troops as an attraction, the large army seized the barrier or the boundary pai ridge, and left.

In any case, the only solution to the defense as the offense, the two people present quickly reached a consensus.

"This matter still needs to be reported to the general, and we will wait and turn the current situation and you and me into an offensive strategy, and Chen Yubo will tell the general to decide." Tian Dan continued.

"Yes, of course." Lian Po also nodded and said, "There are still a lot of scouts to be scattered, and we must detect the movements of the Qin army clearly, and we must not fall for the plan of attacking the west in vain."

Tian Dan nodded and shouted outside the tent, "Someone!"
