389th Training
Facing Xiao Maha, who had already put on a "mourning posture" and was extremely resolute in defending Jiashan, Wang Lin was not impatient.
The attack sequence of the Qi army is only 10,000 people, the strength does not occupy a big advantage, and the speed of advancement is not fast, and the results won by the Qi army in the early stage are also dispensable in Wang Lin's eyes...... His killer move is not here yet.
The only thing he has to do now is to continue to let his soldiers and Chen Jun fight against each other, even if this is useless work, even if many people will die, but this is a necessary condition for training strong soldiers.
The battle lasted for more than two days, and the Qi army was still fighting against Chen Jun in Jiashan, and Xiao Maha had gradually come back to his senses: "The handicap is chaotic, the order is not divided, there is no rule at all, it is completely nonsense!" ”
His armor was stained with dried blood, and a fierce battle was over, and the Qi people retreated to the camp en masse, leaving behind scattered weapons and dead bodies all over the ground, and the smell of blood in the air was disgusting.
"It's weird." The general muttered, Xiao Maha swept his eyes, and asked in a solemn voice, "What do you want to say?" ”
The general came back to his senses from a trance and deep thought, and hurriedly raised his fists and said solemnly:
"With Wang Lin's strength, he could have annihilated us in one fell swoop yesterday, why didn't he take it after confronting our army for so long? Also, it is said that the other side attacks and defends, and they fight like this, and the losses are far greater than ours, but the other party has no intention of retreating at all, and has not stopped fighting from sunrise to the present...... In this battle, we are a little confused. ”
The Chen army's fortifications were only a rudimentary half-finished product, the Chen army here only had a few thousand people, and Wang Lin's troops were tens of thousands, and it was impossible for the Chen army to stop Wang Lin in a hurry.
But Wang Lin was just like planned, every time Xiao Maha couldn't support it, he immediately retreated and replaced it with another army, so the battle line was pushed back to its original position.
Isn't this a waste in vain? What Wang Lin thinks is really incomprehensible.
Xiao Maha was silent when he heard this, his right hand pressed on the saber at his waist, and his stunning tiger eyes narrowed into a slit, not knowing where he was looking...... This question, in fact, he has been pondering in his heart.
Wang Lin's soldiers are many powerful, not only the county soldiers and Tuntian soldiers recruited from various states, but also the elite Yecheng forbidden army soldiers and horses have been pulled up, most of them are strong, putting on a desperate posture, but every time there is thunder and rain, there is a feeling that the point is about to stop.
…… According to the correct theory of the art of war, if you want to break through a camp like Xiao Maha, you should gather superior forces to attack the enemy a little, but Wang Lin is the opposite, not only attacking on all fronts, but also scattering and echelon attacks, and the effect of such a style of play is very doubtful...... Xiao Maha's camp can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and Wang Lin will scatter if he concentrates his strength, but Wang Lin does not.
Why is that?
Xiao Maha knew in his heart that the Jiashan under his feet was one of the keys to the decisive battle in the future, and Wang Lin pounced on him as soon as possible, so he must not be unclear...... But Wang Lin chose the most stupid and unreliable method.
Wang Lin is a very formidable opponent, and he is familiar with the various fighting styles of the generals of the Southern Dynasty, which is undeniable. But in a local war, tactics are clearly more important than strategy.
Xiao Maha was well aware of his own advantages, and tried to rely on the advantage of the Chen army's combat ability slightly higher than that of the Qi army, dragging the situation into a positional defensive battle, and fighting with the Qi army round after round with a fierce and long offensive.
On the one hand, he made every effort to maintain the organization of the army, constantly divided the Qi army partially, and tirelessly launched attacks...... The big war of launching an all-army hedge will undoubtedly be defeated, and only by giving full play to one's own advantages can there be a glimmer of life.
After the failure of the Qi army's attack, the tactical and organizational capabilities are also slowly increasing, from the initial attack to the later quite disciplined, they are more and more calm, and the damage to the Chen army is also more and more terrifying, two days down, almost all the battle sequences under Wang Lin's command have already had the experience of fighting with the Chen army, and the will to fight is becoming more and more tenacious!
This is something that Xiao Maha didn't understand at first.
Xiao Maha pondered for a while, and suddenly sighed deeply: "Wang Lin is fighting a war here, he is clearly training troops, and our camp is not solid, his strength is far inferior to him, and the army is far away in Shiliang, and it will take at least half a month to leave for the north after receiving the news, so he is so fearless, he just treats us all as whetstones to train his soldiers!" ”
When he said this, everyone understood at the time. They also had this kind of speculation in their hearts, but they never dared to say it, which was really a big blow to the morale of Chen Jun.
Although Wang Lin's method was rude, it was not unwise. Compared with the combat ability of individual soldiers, the recruits he pulled out are far from being comparable to our army, even if you add the Yecheng Forbidden Army...... He has a large number of soldiers, one to one, even if they can't destroy us, we can't help them. Anyway, we are already surrounded by them, and it is a matter of time before we take Jiashan...... Arrogant. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Maha was inevitably a little angry on his face.
Wang Lin didn't take him in his eyes at all, and he didn't even deserve to be targeted, this kind of powerlessness and frustration gave Xiao Maha a strong sense of humiliation, Wang Lin was so confident that he could eat him?
Compared with Chen Jun's righteous indignation, Qi's Chinese army was still calm. This is located in the south of the pond, five miles west of Jiashan on a hill, there are three barriers on the periphery, all of them are rough wooden nails, the Chinese army tent is enclosed in the middle, because Jiashan has not been captured, Wang Lin expected the blueprint has not yet been rolled out, temporarily the three armies and horses are gathered here, the rear Zhongli is still in the moment to the south bank of the pond to transport materials, it seems crowded a lot.
The passage between the various camps is full of messengers, reporting every bit of the movement of the front line in a timely manner...... Wang Lin inspected the large camp, and the mood of the soldiers in all departments was very stable, and many people who felt nervous before the war began to relax a little at this time, which showed that the soldiers had passed the battlefield phobia of the recruit period, and could face the enemy army head-on.
That's a big shift.
“…… I don't want to carry out a large-scale battle now, throw the troops out like this, we can indeed rely on the number of people and sometimes defeat Xiao Maha in one fell swoop, but this does not mean anything, sooner or later we will have to face the hedge of tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people, and then it will be a decisive battle.
"I estimate that Wu Mingche's hole cards are actually around 20,000 to 30,000...... Unlikely to exceed fifty thousand...... When it comes to this part, what hole cards he has are more or less revealed, Ren Zhong of the East Route Army closest to him is a two-faced and three-knife character, obviously not very obedient, so ...... Some of the things we planned in the early stage can also play a role.
"He may start out suspicious and give the impression that he has a steady stream of troops, but after a certain point, the advantage is gradually lost, and then the whole frame collapses...... Have you noticed that the attack posture of the Chen army now is much more scattered than when he first entered Kou Huainan, scattered and chaotic, Pi Jinghe also estimated that he saw this possibility, so he simply chose to stay still, and at this time he should also go to Suyu......
Wang Lin had speculated on the map countless times before, although the battle situation was ever-changing, such speculation may not be useful, but in general, the overall situation was still controllable, and everything was still going according to Wang Lin's script, which more or less relieved Wang Lin's anxiety:
"When I was in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with the southern soldiers, and I wanted to fight a protracted war, those ministers were still very annoyed, except for Zu Ting, Yuan Biao and Your Majesty, almost no one supported me, and now ...... I'm finally about to prove myself. ”
For the first time this year, Wang Yan saw a sincere smile on his father's face.
Wang Lin stroked his beard, looked at the bright moon in the sky that was half-covered by dark clouds, and suddenly stopped laughing:
"Tomorrow's general offensive and take the camp of the Chen army...... Seize Jiashan before their reinforcements arrive! ”
