Chapter 350: The Use of New Tactics
The first reaction of the Zhoufu army in Yingzhou Prefecture when they knew that the Zidi army was coming, they went up to block the Zidi army between the borders of the two continents. In the early stage, as many as 70,000 troops were dispatched.
It stands to reason that this should be owned by the Yingzhou Prefecture Army. It's just that after these 70,000 people, there are as many as 250,000 people.
Yingzhou Mansion is really stronger than everyone imagined. With these 320,000 troops alone, I am afraid that it has already exceeded the size of the ordinary Zhou Mansion by dozens of times.
Because there are many natives in Yingzhou Prefecture, they are in battle with the natives all the year round, so the establishment of the Zhou Prefecture Army is more than that of other Zhou Prefectures. But now an army of this size is obviously recruited by Yingzhou Zhizhou privately.
However, everyone also knows that although Yingzhou Mansion is still under the jurisdiction of the emperor in the clear sense, it has long since disobeyed the emperor's order. It's the same as Ningzhou Mansion.
Most of the continents in the world no longer obey the emperor's orders. There is more than one Yingzhou Zhizhou who wants to rebel.
It's just that Yingzhou Zhizhou is the strongest among these people.
Even among the various thieves in the world, no one can match him in strength, even Zheng Shimin, who is now considered to be a strong soldier.
Dongli Ying looked at the city in front of him, and his eyes showed a solemn look. There are many cities like the one in front of you at the junction of Yingzhou and Ningzhou.
Moreover, it is also built on a staggered topography, and the various small cities form horns with each other, and they look after each other.
Attacking one of them will lead to a siege of others, or even several. If you don't get it right, you may be surrounded by the children's army.
It is also more difficult to attack one of the cities. Dongli Ying found that most of these cities have been renovated and made of cement and stones! Concrete poured.
If you want to capture it in a short time, it is simply impossible.
Once they fall into the quagmire of siege warfare, the children may be dragged to death here, and there is still a danger of waiting to be surrounded by the Yingzhou army at any time.
If you ignore these small cities and want to attack Huanglong, the forces of these small cities around you will slowly gather until they finally completely surround the army in Yingzhou Mansion.
At that time, without reinforcements and supplies, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the subordinate army was, it could only wait for the end.
The number of troops on this side in the early stage was 70,000, and this is still counting the 250,000 in the back. This battle to capture Yingzhou is an almost impossible task.
It is said that the Yingzhou Army seems to be also using weapons such as fire and thunder, and even firearms.
With such equipment, the subordinate army does not have much advantage.
When the children saw this scene, their faces were full of astonishment, and they didn't know what to say about the leakage of the technology of the mountain village.
Now, they are afraid that they are in trouble, and the leakage of the technology of the mountain village has made them suffer now.
"Commander-in-Chief, what shall we do now! Siege the city, or go straight ahead, regardless of the city! A general on the side looked at the eagle road with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Dongli Ying frowned. It was also the first time he had encountered such a battle, and he was thinking about what choice Jiang Chao would make if he encountered such a situation.
After a long time, he seemed to think of something, and his face showed a sudden brightness.
"Siege ...... Now that they are in front of us, we will pull him out one by one, and I will see how long they can hold out! Dongli Ying said with a confident look on his face.
As soon as he said this, the faces of several generals on the side were all stunned, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time. They couldn't have imagined that Dongli Eagle would choose such a shoddy tactic as attacking the city.
You must know that once they fall into the quagmire of city attack, I am afraid, they will really be dragged to death here, the city in front of them is extremely strong, how can they be attacked?!
"Commander, I'm afraid that this siege will be flanked by other cities, and once we are surrounded, it will be troublesome."
"Yes, Commander, there are only five thousand troops in the city in front of you at most, and there are at least ten small cities like this. All of our 30,000 troops are trapped here, and it's not worth it. ”
"Even if you don't need 30,000 troops, if you have too few troops, you won't be able to capture the city at all."
One of the generals of the Ningzhou Prefecture Prefecture Army also said with a solemn face.
His mind was still stuck in the most primitive siege warfare, and he felt that if he wanted to capture the city, he would need at least several times the number of troops. Otherwise, it will not be possible to attack it at all.
Even the whole world is watching how the soldiers will choose. People of all forces felt that in this first confrontation, the Zidi army might be completely wiped out.
The Yingzhou Mansion Army, which is waiting for work, wants to defeat the Zidi Army, and defeats the 30,000 people with 320,000 people, which is really easy.
Dongli Ying looked at the generals in front of him, and a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth; "Remember the new tactics that Sir taught us! Encirclement and reinforcements...... Rush ...... Partition...... How much have you learned?! ”
"Right now is the best time to encircle the point and send reinforcements and attack. As long as they dare to come to their aid, we will let them have no return......"
"As for the small city in front of you, do you think it will be difficult for Mr. to take it? Sir has already calculated everything! ”
Speaking of this, Dongli Ying smiled mysteriously, his words made everyone a little confused, and for a while they didn't understand what Mr. meant by arranging everything.
Could it be that the gentleman has already taught Dongli Eagle how to take this small city? But even if you can take the small city in front of you, but what about the city behind?!
However, when they heard Dongli Ying's tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements, rushing and splitting, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, their combat thinking is still stuck in the old way of fighting, and now it is not the army before. Although flesh-and-blood combat is still there, if you can understand all kinds of tactical ideas.
What's the point of winning more with less?!
Everyone looked at Dongli Ying, who looked determined and full of confidence, and suddenly, everyone was also full of confidence. It seems that at this moment, the enemy in front of him is nothing at all.
Seeing that all the generals had regained their confidence, Dongli Ying hurriedly took the opportunity to give an order. Nan Mingtu led 2,000 men to besiege the city and feint!
The rest of the army of the disciples, in addition to the reserve army of 3,000, the rest were sent out in several batches, and they were divided into points to prepare to intercept the troops of the cities that came to support the small city in front of them.
There are almost 2,000 people at each point, and there are twelve points from the eagle in the east, plus the small city in front of them, which happens to be thirteen front-line cities.
These thirteen cities are the first line of defense to block the children's army, with a total strength of more than 70,000!
