Chapter 1309: Your Royal Highness the King of Qin also wrote a war book

"Then we'll have to discuss how much cavalry is appropriate." All the generals nodded their heads and said that it was still early before the start of the battle, so there was enough time to discuss tactics.

"But is that really possible? Although the cavalry is highly mobile, if we stay in these villages, can these villagers really cover us to such a point? If a villager sneaks to Gaomi, these troops may be in danger. Zhang Liang hesitated beside him and said.

"That's a real problem." Duan Zhixuan also nodded.

"Hey, although you are geniuses in warfare, you don't understand people's hearts." Li Chengqian couldn't help but speak.

Everyone: "......"

Your Highness, your sense of existence is suddenly a little high, Your Highness, you have either been reading books during this time, or you are looking around in the barracks, and we generals have met you, and you are just talking to us for a few words, why are you talking so much at today's meeting?

"I've read a few books written by Li Ke recently, you shouldn't know that Li Ke also wrote the Art of War, right?" Li Chengqian looked at them and said.

"I've never heard of this." Everyone is a little curious, His Royal Highness King Qin also wrote about the Art of War? This is too curious, after all, the art of war is not something that everyone can write.

"I've read a book called "On Protracted War", and although this book may not be in line with the situation between us and Goguryeo, some of the current situations are very much in line with it."

"There is a passage in this book that when the enemy's war apparatus is cumbersome, and the action is limited, and the effectiveness is limited, the most suitable strategy for us is mobile warfare."

"Conduct a high degree of movement warfare on a vast battlefield, rapid advance and rapid retreat, rapid concentration and rapid dispersion. It is necessary to first use movement warfare to effectively destroy the enemy's spirit and combat effectiveness. ”

"One of the combat methods of mobile warfare is guerrilla warfare, and there is also a 16-character mantra in this book: The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue."

"You are all generals in these sixteen words, you should be able to understand the meaning between the lines, and what is the key point of these sixteen words? That is, it is necessary to go deep among the masses, take the people as the foundation, deeply cultivate the people, integrate into the people, and let the enemy fall into the vast sea of the people. ”

"Take our cavalry in Hanhae Prefecture as an example, if 10,000 cavalry enters the hinterland of Goguryeo, I am afraid that all connections between the various towns of Goguryeo will be severed, and between these towns, we will not harm the people, but cut off all caravan transportation, if the enemy's logistics transportation, then we will concentrate the superior cavalry forces to destroy."

"After all, if they transport supplies, they need to be escorted by the army to the field, and the field is the world of our cavalry."

"Loot supplies as a daily supplement for cavalry, and burn these logistical supplies directly when they cannot be carried, cutting off the enemy's supply route."

"And once the enemy has a large-scale gathering and wants to concentrate superior forces to destroy us, then it will be broken into pieces and scattered in various areas of Goguryeo in units of hundreds of cavalry."

"It's easier for hundreds of cavalry to find supplies, it's easier for horses to be replenished from places like the primeval jungle, and even some weakly defended towns can even be directly attacked."

"If we infiltrate enough cavalry troops, we can even be active outside the various cities, their small forces, we will concentrate the superior forces to eat, if it is a large number of troops, we will retreat and disperse."

"Can the enemy keep pushing tens of thousands of troops together? If that were the case, how slow would their march be? And our army on the front line can never be dead. ”

"When the time comes, consumption alone will be able to consume these Goguryeo armies to death, because we don't harass the people in the villages outside the city, only the city, and the people of the entire city who have the ability will not come out. How long will they last? ”

"But what is it that wants to wage such a campaign war? It's the people! For example, these villages dotted on the map don't even need to be supplied after our cavalry is in motion, but these villages can be used as a center for information exchange. ”

"For example, how do the cavalry gather after they are dispersed? Then every once in a while, send your own news to this village to concentrate, and then check the village for the latest assembly orders, or enemy transportation and other information. ”

"With each village as the central point, the journey of about two days is enough to cover most of Goguryeo."

"If we go into the village to resupply, it may bring a crisis to the village, but if we only send one or several scouts to concentrate or deliver information, there is no danger."

"If it is carried out in this way, it doesn't even need to attack with the superiority of the front-line troops, and in half a year, Goguryeo will collapse." Li Chengqian pointed to the map and spoke.

Li Chengqian's words made all the generals present stupid.

Of course, there are similar guerrilla tactics in the art of war from ancient times to the present, but as Li Chengqian said, they have never heard of the tactics of guerrilla warfare, cavalry, movement warfare, and harassment warfare that have been brought into full play.

But as soon as Li Chengqian said this, they felt the tremendous power in it.

The materials stored in the various cities of Goguryeo were different, and when these cities were cut off, the time they were able to hold on to each other was naturally different.

These cavalry alone were enough to completely overturn the entire Goguryeo.

Just like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, this "On Protracted War" they feel that in some depths, it is even deeper than Sun Tzu's Art of War, or the depth is broader, because it is no longer limited to the level of pure war.

Everyone swallowed their spit, such an awesome tactic was actually written by His Royal Highness King Qin? This...... It's outrageous, the problem is that they haven't really seen it.

"Didn't you go to that military school?" Li Chengqian looked at Qi Bi He Li and the others and asked.

"I didn't ...... The ministers probably haven't learned it yet. Qi Qi He Li also said in a dry tone, what else will His Royal Highness King Qin not do?

"I guess he hasn't shown it to you since he wrote it, but I've already read it. So you understand why I said that? His Royal Highness King Qin in your mouth, that is a genius, in all aspects. If it weren't for him, where would there be today's Datang. Li Chengqian said lightly.
