Volume 1 Disputes and Troubled Times Chapter 65
Wang Rong followed behind Zhang Songqi and was polite and courteous to everyone, making a good impression in front of everyone. Then Wang Rong and the others followed the officials of the two prefectures into the city and went straight to the county guard's mansion.
In the main hall of the county guard's mansion, Wang Rong sat on the left side with Zhang Gengxiao, Lin Chongwei, Pingyu and Wumo. Wang Xianzhi sat on the right side with the officials of the county guard, one article and one martial arts, and the distinction was clear.
Zhang Songqi placed the sand table of Shuofang County in the lobby, which clearly indicated the situation of the Yongguo army and the Xuanwei army.
Zhang Songqi was born in the military, although he turned to a civilian position, but the habits of martial arts did not change, and there were not so many twists and turns. He said straight to the point: "At present, the Badman has arrived in Suju City, and has approached the first line of the border wall, and their number is more than 300,000 people, so many people, the logistics and supplies needed are bound to be huge, but the scouts have not found the herd of the Badman. ”
Zhang Gengxiao and Wei Pingyu were young and immature in what they thought and thought, so they didn't speak. Lin Chong has always regarded Wumo as his brother, and he was famous for his humility when he conquered the Northern General's Mansion. Wang Rong looked at the sand table silently and did not say a word.
In the end, it was Wumo who took the lead in speaking: "Now that the Devils are stationed in Sulu City, they can attack Shuofang County to the west and Linwo County to the east, like a sharp knife against our abdomen." And out of the border wall to fight, the Bearded people will besiege and pursue if they can fight, and if they can't beat it, they can run away for their lives, so it is not feasible to capture the city. The most important thing now is to determine where the Bearded Man will attack at the end, and if we can't figure out their movements, we won't be able to make a decision. ”
Lin Chong echoed his words and said: "Master Hou, you are also a battlefield general, this bearded man comes and goes without a trace, it is difficult to catch, and the strength of our county soldiers is too far behind the guards, once you go out to fight, it will be wiped out, so it is too dangerous." ”
Zhang Songqi nodded, expressing his agreement with the words of the two, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Gengxiao and Wei Pingyu, and glanced at them, meaning that he hoped that they would share their opinions.
Wei Pingyu gently pushed Zhang Gengxiao's arm and motioned for him to speak first. Zhang Gengxiao glanced at his father, then stared at the sand table and said: "What the last general means is that now we can't judge the direction of the attack of the Qiangwei people, so our top priority should be to cultivate ourselves. Mobilize women, children, and the elderly to prepare meals, clothing, etc. ”
Wei Pingyu arched his hand and said to Zhang Songqi: "The idea of the lowly position and the captain is the same. ”
Zhang Songqi nodded, looking at his eldest son with satisfaction, he could think of so many things, and it was not in vain that he had taught for many years. Then he looked at Wang Rong, he attached great importance to Wang Rong, Yu Gong, now Wang Rong is his subordinate; Yu privately, this is the culprit who made his baby little padded jacket leak.
"Does Duwei Wang have any ideas?"
When Wang Rong heard Zhang Songqi's name, he didn't feel abrupt, and he was the only official in the Duwei Mansion who didn't speak.
Wang Rong stood up, bowed to Zhang Songqi, and then gestured with his fingers on the sand table: he waved his hand and asked, "How many troops are each of my Dayong and Xiong Hu this time?" The total strength of our four Dayong guards, plus the county soldiers, township soldiers, and others, has reached nearly 300,000.
As for the Badman, the three elite armies of Wolf Guard, Eagle Guard, and Xiongben, plus the 200,000 tribal soldiers of the various tribes in the east, this is 320,000 people, and this is not counting the tribal soldiers of the small tribes that will come over in the future. This is a nationwide battle for the Bearded Ones, and their forces are clearly superior to ours in terms of numbers.
However, there are variables in war, although our Dayong soldiers belong to various troops, but we are of the same origin, strong cohesion, excellent armor, high armor rate, sharp weapons, sharp bows and crossbows, not to mention that our army is also proficient in formation.
As for the Badheads, their ethnic origins are mixed, and even they themselves can't figure it out, and the contradictions between the tribes are more or less, big or small, and the most they practice on weekdays is to ride and shoot and escape, and the formation is basically none, and the battle is basically based on rushing, and rushing in a chaotic manner.
So I don't think there's a need to be afraid of the Badgers from a strategic point of view. Tactically, my suggestion is to use the four guards together, and Shuofang, Linwo, and Yunzhong to implement the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness.
Taking Shuofang County as an example, the township soldiers and Qingzhuang guarded the cities of Lulu, Linhe, Woye, Linrong and Huqu, and the county soldiers, township soldiers and Qingzhuang guarded the Guangmu City, and the people outside each city were all included in the city, and the herdsmen drove their cattle and sheep and horses into hidden positions, or the city could accommodate them, so they drove them into the city.
The logistics of the Badmans are huge herds, and if they can't find food in Shuofang County, then they will definitely use the herds, so that we can find the logistics of the Badens. Then an elite cavalry rushed out of the fortress to attack the herd and capture it, which could completely collapse the army of the Bearded Man. ”
Wang Rong's words did not cause too many reactions from everyone in the hall, which was a bit of a slap in the face.
Zhang Songqi asked: "On the side of the guards, I don't know what General Qin Ke thinks, but the work of clearing the walls of Shuofang County has always been done. But even so, we were still suppressed by the other side, passively counterattacking the enemy army. I'm a person who doesn't like to be beaten very much, and I am used to sending my fist to the enemy's face first. ”
Wang Rong knew that this was Zhang Songqi testing himself, because as soon as his words came out, Zhang Gengxiao, Wei Pingyu, Wu Mo and Lin Chong were silent.
Wang Rong bowed his hand and said: "Hou Ye, we are not without the strength to fight back, now the county soldiers and township soldiers of the three governor's mansions are in Guangmu City, we can completely select people who are good at riding and archery to form a cavalry, from the wolf mountain, and then cruise in the grassland, meet the Qianghu tribe, we will annihilate the small tribe, and we will avoid the big tribe." It doesn't make sense that the Bearded Men can rob us, and we can't rob them.
It really doesn't work, we still have a trick, that is, set fire to all the pastures near the side wall, so that the livestock of the Badman people have no grass to eat. ”
"Shhhh
There was a sound of inhalation in the lobby, poison, real poison, really poison.
After listening to Wang Rong's suggestion, Zhang Songqi groped for the porcelain water cup with his fingers, pondering, thinking, and then he raised his head and said with a blank look: "It's a little late to set fire to the grassland outside the border wall now, even if you send people, you will be discovered and intercepted by the Bearded People." Cavalry was not needed to defend the city, so elite cavalry was selected from the three prefectures, and money was taken from the county treasury to purchase war horses, pack horses, camels, and mules. ”
Zhang Songqi's decision did not surprise Wang Rong, the Bearded Man had already arrived in Sulu City, and the straight-line distance from the side wall was not even two hundred miles, and the strategy of burning the grassland was too difficult to implement.
And Zhang Songqi didn't like to defend the city, so Wang Rong knew that he would definitely choose to gather the elite and organize a cavalry to wreak havoc on the grassland.
Zhang Songqi continued: "This elite cavalry, I plan to let Wang Duwei lead, what do you think?" ”
Wang Rong refused, and he said humbly: "Master Hou, I think this army should be led by a highly respected fierce general, and Wumo Wusima is enough to serve as it." ”
Wu Mo didn't expect Wang Rong to recommend him, and with a surprised face, he said unconsciously: "Du Wei... ”
Wang Wei interrupted Wumo's excuse and said to Zhang Songqi: "Master Hou, General Wumo is free to grow on horseback, skilled in bowing horses, and is even more familiar with the habits of the Bearded Man. I think that this elite cavalry led by General Umo will definitely be able to achieve victory. ”
Zhang Songqi listened to Wang Rong's words, moved his gaze to Wumo, he looked at Wumo and asked, "Wusima, if I hand over this cavalry to you, what do you think?" ”
Wu Mo trembled all over, and said excitedly: "The last general will lead the order, and the last general will lead my Dayong Jing to be invincible, and raise the prestige of my Dayong army outside the territory." ”
"Good!" Zhang Songqi patted the handrail, stood up, and directly ordered: "Lin Duwei, Zhang Duwei, Wang Duwei, I hope you can gather the elite in your hands and form a formed cavalry, led by Wu Sima to rush to the grassland." ”
"The Last General Commands !!" The three of them saluted in unison.
