Chapter 311: Tactics
The Gaochang royal army retreated, but the Liang army did not rest, and continued to dig the soil, it is not enough to have traffic trenches, but also to have tunnels.
Fortunately, the place is soft, there are no stones, and it is easy to dig.
Even in the rear of the position, a temporary field hospital was dug up so that the wounded had a place to recuperate.
The Gaochang royal department made a difficulty, this kind of play was unheard of by them, and they didn't know how to break the formation.
The most important thing is that the tentative attack of the pioneers of the two battalions just now did not find the artillery position of the Liang army.
The artillery position of the Liang army could not be found, and the army did not dare to attack rashly.
Now they are faced with two choices.
First, they entered Longxi City and relied on Longxi City to defend it, but their food and grass were only enough to eat for half a month, and there were not necessarily reinforcements, and entering the city was equivalent to waiting for death.
So this scheme can be directly abandoned.
Second, storm the position of the Liang army and open up the road to the west, so that there is no need to worry about the future, and the purpose of eliminating the main force of the Liang army has been completed.
However, the assault may have suffered too many casualties.
This is where the third point is raised.
"We might as well give up attacking the Liang army's position, let's simply enter Beidi County, and their rear will be completely empty."
Someone suggested.
This is indeed a viable approach.
Merely......
"The farther we go, the longer the battle line stretches, the more difficult it is to get out of Liangzhou, and if we run out of food, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of Liangzhou."
Questions were raised.
"What are you afraid of, to feed the war with war, where to fight, where to eat, such a big Liangzhou, are you still afraid that there will be nothing to eat?"
"It's a big deal, let's go to Liangcheng!"
Hit Liangcheng, this can only be used as an angry word, it is too deep, and it will definitely be dumplings.
As for the proposal to feed the war with war.
"What if Liangzhou had moved the food away a long time ago, and this is already the autumn harvest season."
"How can there be so many ifs, how can this battle be fought."
"Liang Jun obviously brought us here on purpose, and they have already thought about the problems we have thought about."
"Going our own way will only make us lose faster."
"That's not going to work, just bypass the Liang army's position and go behind them."
"Absolutely not, that will completely expose our logistics to the Liang army, once the Liang army sneaks up on our grain camp, then we will be finished."
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do?"
“……”
They were all silent.
In fact, the answer is already in their hearts, attacking the position of the Liang army, there is no other way to do it.
Chun Yuyue looked at everyone and knew that they all had doubts in their hearts, after all, the firepower of the Liang army was too fierce.
There is still a confrontation between the two armies, and now that the Liang army has set up a 'gully array', they don't have full information to attack.
Therefore, he had to say something that might affect the morale of the military.
"I just received news from Ma Hu Nan that Tie Mu's Blood Wolf Hussar Battalion has broken through their defense line and is now making a detour to the east bank of the Yellow River at full speed, in a vain attempt to cut off our back road."
"In addition, Ding Qing can't come, I have already sent him to stop Tie Mu's cavalry."
Brush!
Everyone's eyes widened.
"What is Ma Hu Nan doing to eat, is his thousands of cavalry decorations? Can't stop even a day! ”
"It's too unusual, Ma Hunan should be severely punished."
"If Tie Mu really cuts off our back road, then not a single grain of grain will be transported."
"Our army should fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Liang army as soon as possible."
"That's right, even if Ding Qing can't come, we still have 80,000 troops, and the Liang army will not exceed 40,000 at most."
"More than double, can't you beat it?"
Chun Yuyue wants this effect, now that the back road is broken, everyone is in a hurry to go home, so naturally it must be solved first, and the main force of the Liang army who is blocking the way home.
But.
Chun Yuyue did not tell them that Tu Nao's department was also severely damaged by Qi Yuanbai, and there was even a possibility of losing the sovereignty of the entire Hexi line.
What the hell is Li Huai doing?!
After dividing the troops and cutting him off in three ways, it was clear that he didn't want him to go back, could it be that he wanted to eat his 100,000 army?
Appetite is too great!
Then it's simple, they unify their concepts, and only discuss how to fight, and nothing else.
In the end, a plan agreed by everyone was to use the battalion as a unit to fight with the Liang army and seize the position of the Liang army as much as possible.
It means that if you advance an inch, you must defend an inch, and you can't let the Liang army recapture it, just like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves, and the Liang army's position will be wiped out little by little.
When the Liang army's position is exhausted, the main force of the Liang army will also be consumed by them, and when the time comes, they will turn back to clean up Tie Mu's 8,000 cavalry, won't they be captured!
That is to say.
This battle was about the final outcome of the entire war.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”
They put their right hand on their chests and blessed themselves with the belief that they will win!
After the meeting.
Chun Yuyue found one of his confidants and gave him a letter and a token with the symbol of the sun and moon meteors.
Explained:
"Go to them immediately and say that we need support, otherwise, the whole line of Hexi will be lost, no, the entire left wing will be lost!"
The entire left wing he is referring to here refers to the left side of the Qilian Mountain Range, that is, all the territory in the south, including the West Sea, the Qilian Mountain Plain, and so on.
The north side of the Qilian Mountains is called the right wing, which includes the entire Hexi Corridor and Yanzhi Mountain.
Further north is the desert, the north of the desert is called Mobei, which is a place where people are inaccessible and almost impossible to survive.
Mobei is connected with Yinshan Mountain and the Northern Wilderness, which is a three-sided adjacent place.
As for why no one took this opening and attacked the enemy country?
That's because, no matter who walks through this opening, they have to pass through hundreds of miles of uninhabited desert, not to mention a sneak attack, if you go in 10,000 people, and 100 people can come out alive, even if you are lucky.
At noon, all the generals decided the order of battle according to the drawing of lots, and in the afternoon, when it was almost time, a wheel battle was launched!
Li Huai's temporary command post in the Chinese army was to dig a pit and cover it with some hay camouflage.
This pit is connected to all the main traffic roads, and all orders are issued from here.
Through a pair of binoculars with a fixed tripod, you can take in the entire battlefield and clearly know the situation of the battle.
Li Huai took a simple look and guessed that the enemy was going to engage in wheel warfare, and then looked at the time of day.
"The Gaochang Royal Department is planning to fight us at night!"
"I'm afraid it's going to be twelve hours a day, non-stop attacking, and not giving us time to rest." The man next to him said.
Li Huai smiled when he heard this, "Then cooperate with them, we will also take turns, fight in the front, rest in the back, and see who can't hold it first." ”
"Yes!"
"Yan Gaoyang." Li Huai turned around and called.
"The minister is here."
Yan Gaoyang immediately got up and came to him.
"How many bases are our guns capable of?" Li Huai asked, because of the abandonment of the grain route, the powerful logistics could not play any role at the moment.
They brought as much as they could, and when they were done, they were gone.
"Back to King Liang, you can play two and a half bases." Yan Gaoyang replied with a slight grievance.
It's a little less.
"Save it." Li Huai commanded.
"Yes!"
Yan Gaoyang replied and asked again: "Can you fight now?" ”
Li Huai kicked him on the ass and scolded: "Just that little person, you cannon to fight mosquitoes, do you know what it means to save a little?" ”
"Yes!"
"What do you mean?"
"Forehead ......"
"The meaning of saving a little bit of fighting is to give full play to every shell, understand?"
"Understood! I promise to make every cannon satisfied! ”
"Go ahead."
Li Huai waved his hand and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield, and he found that every battalion of the enemy seemed to have a task.
That's the ravine that grabbed one of his parts.
Every time a battalion grabs a ravine, it stops attacking and turns to defense, waiting for the next battalion to take over.
Li Huai couldn't help but think about it for the enemy, they grabbed one or two ravines, and one battalion could hold it for the time being.
What should they do when they grab ten, twenty, and a battalion comes up and can't even fill the ravines?
You have to add someone.
In this way, the number of people they attack will increase.
Gee!
Li Huai smacked his tongue and said with a strange smile: "Sun thief, let you take a look at the tactics invented by grandpa!" ”
He immediately ordered.
Send troops to transport speed, but don't be brutal with the enemy, just leave after a while, and give the enemy the illusion that he wants to take back the lost territory, but he is losing more and more.
That's how the fish bite!
