Chapter 389: Li Shen's Tactics
Li Shen was just an ordinary military fan in his previous life, of course, many men like guns and the like, Li Shen only has a general concept of modern warfare in later generations,
But that's enough, except that information against Li Shen is not useful,
The rest of the simple ones, decapitation operations, long-range strikes, infantry coordination, three-armed coordination, etc., Li Shen still knows some,
Exclusive classes in conjunction with this period. Heavy armor soldiers with archers, or heavy armor soldiers followed by pikemen, isn't this all infantry coordination?
And Li Shen also has a big killing weapon in his hand, something that no one has ever seen before.
Li Shen and Xue Rengui have been discussing for a long time, mainly because Xue Rengui perfects Li Shen's plan. The rest is just waiting for the blade to come back and change it according to the actual situation.
Li Shen didn't show up the next day, which made Li Chengqian even more puzzled, he felt that Li Shen wouldn't be playing for real.
On the third day, Li Shen's blade returned. Li Shen took him to the marshal's tent and called several other generals over to share information.
At Li Shen's suggestion, the sharp blade simply reported the information of the investigation.
"Marshal, Lord Wang, after we entered the city to investigate, the southern city of Nansu is now occupied by a group of rebels, the other party seems to be called Pu Yin, there are about 20,000 soldiers under his command, and there are 70,000 people in the city.
Nansu is a small city, and the city wall is only about two zhang. There is no urn city, and the generals are uneven, and the weapons they take are also varied. There are also kitchen knives and kitchen utensils.
The new city belongs to the treasure king, the city guards are about 10,000, the city wall is a little more than two zhang, and the people in the city are only 70,000 or 80,000.
Hengshan City is relatively large, belonging to the middle state and county, guarding about 20,000 people, and the city wall is more than three zhang. There is no urn city. Most of them were nobles and merchants, and the people should have fled. ”
After the blade team member finished speaking, Li Shen waved his hand and let him out.
"The situation has become very clear, the small cities of Nansu are a rabble, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Although Xincheng and Hengshan are a bit tricky, they are also easy for me to capture.
The governor wanted to send troops tomorrow and divide the army into three routes to take the three cities. Li Shen stood up and said.
"The governor of the capital, the minister thinks it's better not to underestimate the enemy, and the minister thinks it's better to merge and fight steadily, so that the loss will be smaller." Li Tao was the first to speak,
In fact, none of them understood why Li Shen was so active. It's unusual, didn't I always sleep before?
"My Tang army is now strong and strong, why should I be so timid, and this time the Metropolitan Governor will personally participate in the battle, the eldest brother can be in the rear, and the Metropolitan Governor has other deployments, and he must take three cities within seven days."
There's no way, this is the third day, and if you can't take it, you may not be able to go back. He didn't want to rush six hundred miles by himself.
"I wonder what arrangements His Royal Highness the Grand Governor has?" Li Daozong asked.
"Uncle Huang, you should know what I have in my hands." Li Shen asked rhetorically.
The sharp blade in his hand is only known to Li Daozong, Li Tao, and Zhang Liang, but the others don't know. Li Daozong nodded after hearing this.
"Uncle Huang, this time I am going to use a decapitation operation, Uncle Huang should have heard about it in the palace. The three cities act together, and the city of Nansu will collapse immediately without a leader, as long as our people behave kindly,
Tell them we can distribute land to them, grow food, let them go home in peace, we're giving them some food to overdo for a while, these people are in control. ”
Li Shen thinks that they are all hard-working people who can't eat, and they are just forced to go to Liangshan.
Li Daozong thought about it and felt that it was feasible, indeed as Li Shen said, even if the leader was not dead, it would be very easy for the Tang army to clean them up.
"As for the other two cities, I have a secret weapon in my hand, and the decapitation operation will be carried out at the same time.
The Governor believed that he would be able to take it in one day. Li Shen said confidently.
"Then I wonder what kind of weapon the Governor is talking about?" Zhang Liang asked.
"It's all said to be a secret weapon, is it called a secret when you say it?" Li Shen gave Zhang Liang a roll of his eyes.
"But we also have to cooperate with the action, if the secret weapon of the Metropolitan Governor does not work at that time, then our soldiers will have to fight with their lives." Zhang Liang doesn't care if you are a prince or not.
"Tenth brother, what General Zhang said does make sense. Just tell me about it. Li Chengqian was afraid that Li Shen would say something ugly again, so he eased up.
"I can't show you anything, but I can tell you what it is. A flying ball. You can fly over the enemy, whether it's shooting arrows or throwing fire bombs. ”
Li Shen is talking about hot air balloons, and Li Shen's laboratory is studying the use of petroleum to refine propane and other materials.
This time, he brought a first-generation product, a leather sewn lining, and a shell made of fine silk.
The rattan basket is equipped with a hand-cranked propeller in order to be able to move in the sky.
Fuel, on the other hand, is what wood and fabric burn easily.
The diameter of the hot air balloon is about three zhang, it can carry three people, plus some arrow feathers or fire oil bombs, the altitude is more than 200 zhang, and the endurance of the full load is 20 to 30 minutes.
If you add oil, the battery life will be longer.
Li Shen is already very satisfied with this, the French can fly hundreds of meters when they burn straw, and he is at least much better than them.
But when Li Shen said that there was a flying ball, not only other generals, but even Li Chengqian, the eldest brother, looked at him with a foolish look.
"Tenth brother, are you crazy, or are you suffering from brain disease, how did you start talking nonsense." Li Chengqian didn't believe it at all.
"How can the eldest brother be a child's play in the big tent of the Chinese army, the governor of this capital has no jokes, but things need to be used on the battlefield and cannot be passed on."
After Li Shen finished speaking, everyone was still a little skeptical, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing. Only Li Daozong has some convincing,
His son is Li Shen's cousin, so there are some things that Li Shen will let his son do.
He knew that Li Shen had a laboratory that specialized in making strange things.
"Generalissimo, the old minister thinks that in fact, there is no need to be entangled, now the situation of the three cities, the number of troops, we all know it,
Even if we don't have the secret weapon of the Grand Governor, we still have to fight, and after these three cities are captured, we can repair here for a while with the help of the surrounding Liaoshui.
Since the Metropolitan Governor cooperated in killing the local generals, we actually have a good chance of winning. ”
After everyone heard Li Daozong's words, they suddenly realized, yes, no matter whether Li Shen's secret weapon is useful or not, don't they still have to fight?
The small city of Nansu is the same as Bai Zhi, mainly the adjacent Hengshan and the new city, they are very close to each other, and they are also the two cities that guard the Liaoshui branch, and after this branch, they will enter the hinterland of Goguryeo.
"Okay, then set off tomorrow, divide the troops into three routes, and go straight to Nansu, Hengshan, and Xincheng." In the end, Li Chengqian gave the order
