Chapter 428: Doing the Opposite
"My lord, the military supplies have been prepared, the weight of food and straw is still increasing, and my subordinates estimate that our division will be the first to go to the war zone. Liang Chong handed over the finished documents to Zhang Jie.
"Have the recruits from Zhenjiang County been assembled?" asked Zhang Jie.
"We have assembled and will join us this morning. Ryoshi pulled out a magic letter.
"Is the army of magicians fully staffed?"
"Not yet, Pingzhong County has transferred several local legions, and the Magicians Guild has sent out all the magicians who can be sent, and now there are only some young magicians left, and even the choice of the magician leader has not yet been decided. ”
"What are you kidding, we are facing the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and the most important thing they need is magicians, do you want my soldiers to fight the enemy army with magic? Zhang Jie's face immediately darkened.
"Well, then go down to the Wizards' Guild and explain the matter to them. ”
"Go ahead and tell them that Lao Tzu has formed a regular army!"
......
Nannuma Prefecture, Shaodian State General Headquarters.
Jiang Xi and all the staff officers are holding a military meeting.
Jiang Zhi pointed to the middle of the defense line on the map and said: "We have lost a large number of scouts near the Junqi Pass, and we have not been able to reach the Junqi Pass for a small half a month to observe the Junqi Pass. ”
"Helian Yu's soldiers are like antelopes hanging on their horns without a trace, how can they reveal such a big flaw and be discovered by us, I suspect that this is Helian Yu's suspicious strategy, she deliberately attracted our attention at the military flag pass, and then launched a surprise attack elsewhere. "Staff Officer Zhang has a different opinion.
This view was supported by many staff officers, and the "new generals" of the Meng State always used troops by surprise, and never used an upright style of play.
Jiang Xi turned his head to look at Shao Dianmi, who was specially attending the meeting.
Shaodian cleared his throat and said, "Our company's colleagues in Meng State risked their lives to send back a piece of information, with a total of five words: 'Zhenhai Gong won a big victory'. From the analysis of the recent movements of the enemy, I believe that Helian Yu, the heir of Zhenhai Gong, has received strong domestic support, and this move will not be small. ”
"Yes, so I think Helian Yu has the capital to confront our army head-on, she deliberately did the opposite, and put up a position at the Military Flag Pass, and when we thought she was going to attack from elsewhere, she just killed from the Military Flag Pass. Jiang Zhi expressed his opinion.
"First of all, the subordinates admit that the chief of staff's previous judgment of Helian Yu was very accurate, but Helian Yu deliberately exposed his main attack direction, will this risk be a bit big? She has the initiative in her hands, so why should she deliberately sell a flaw to us?" Staff Officer Zhang also insisted on his own opinion.
"Helian Yu is the best at exploiting the weaknesses of people's hearts, and every time she designs, she puts us in a dilemma, both wanting to gain strategic initiative and undermining our confidence, I don't think it's an exaggeration to call her a 'new general god'.
Junqi Pass is located in the middle of the direction, and our army is not far from supporting from the north and south, and it is an extremely poor offensive point strategically, and it is impossible for Helian Yu not to know about it; it is better for her to arrange a few more suspicious points than to arrange a 50 percent chance of gambling with us, and there is no need for this no matter how you look at it.
When everyone thinks she's not going to do it, she can fool everyone and make the least likely decision she can make, and then we lose the opportunity and lose our confidence. What Jiang Zhi said is no longer a strategic judgment, but a mental judgment.
"Chief of Staff, you are gambling! Use your self-confidence to bet with Helian Yu! What if you lose the bet?" Staff Officer Zhang was a little excited.
Jiang Zhi froze, and everyone present looked at him.
Yes, if the judgment is wrong, it is likely to lead to a major rout, and the Shaodian Kingdom will face the dilemma of losing its land again.
"If I am misjudged, then we will take the initiative to induce Helian Yu to attack from the Banner Pass. Jiang Zhi said his plan in a deep voice.
"Very good!" Jiang Xi finally broke the silence, "The information brought by Director Shaodian proves that it is very likely that Meng Guo has sent more troops, and we will inevitably face a large-scale attack by the enemy. Although the enemy has the strategic initiative with the 'Helian Jade Wall', we can take the initiative to attack and regain some of the master. Chief of Staff Jiang, tell me in detail about your plans. ”
Jiang Xi went to the battlefield when he was young, but his reputation has not been obvious, all because of his steady combat style, but this does not mean that he is willing to be beaten passively, and he will show his fangs when necessary.
"Yes!" Jiang Zhili saluted, "In the southern defense area, our army is holding the favorable terrain and has the most strategic initiative conditions.
In the north and central defense areas, facing a total of six passes, our army can choose to launch an attack at the Shanghang Pass and the Military Flag Pass, take out one-third of the siege equipment in reserve, and set up a posture of forcibly breaking through the pass. The main force of the attack, I suggest that the 8th and 11th Army Corps should be served. ”
"Let the Eighth Army attack the fortification? Isn't this a bit overkill? The main elite of our army should not be consumed in front of the pass. Staff Officer Sun objected.
"Since you want to play a play for Helian Yu, you have to be realistic, only by sending the main force can you arouse Helian Yu's suspicions. Staff Officer Sun doesn't have to worry, the intensity and intensity of the attack are under our control, so you might as well consume more siege equipment to reduce the loss of soldiers. Jiang Zhi said firmly.
"The 21st and 22nd Corps are about to be formed, and I estimate that their main forces will be able to reach their base camp in a month's time, and militia drills are being organized in various parts of Nanmar Prefecture, and our lost forces can be quickly replenished.
The Eighth Army Corps must not be kept behind for fear of death, they must be placed on the route of the enemy's main attack, and I believe that all the officers and men of the Eighth Army Corps will agree to this arrangement. The biggest advantage of our army is local combat, and I use all the trump cards to see what Helian Yu thinks. Jiang Xi set the tone for the military meeting.
"Okay, now let's conduct a military chess exercise to refine this attack plan. Jiang Zhi continued to preside over the meeting.
......
When Ding Kui led his team back to the camp, he found that the banner of the second squadron had been erected in the camp next door, and he was about to go over to inquire, when a white horse carrying a white-robed officer rushed towards him.
"Phew!" the white horse stood upright in front of Ding Kui.
"Hahaha, senior brother, this is your territory. Ding Kui saw the appearance of the white-robed officer clearly.
"Hey, in the future, the senior brother will always follow behind the junior brother. Feng Liang jumped off the white horse and gave Ding Kui a hug.
"What's wrong with this, the junior brother clears the obstacles for you, and then you come with a decisive blow, and you will be promoted to the rank of lord. Ding Kui knew the depression in Feng Conscience, the junior brother was in front of the senior brother, and there would always be unhappiness when he was a senior brother.
"Hahaha, how could I be so stingy, let me go to the first squadron and can't suppress that group of elites, let the junior brother be the one to show that our division commander has vision, I am convinced. Come, take your brother on a tour of your camp. Feng Liang swept away the gloom on his face and showed a smug smile, and finally deceived Ding Kui.
"Okay, soldier, treacherous, senior brother is starting to get into the role. Ding Kui smiled bitterly, and was overshadowed by the always sunny wind.
"Soldier, it's a good thing, did the master secretly teach you?" Feng Liang has been learning the art of war for a lot longer than Ding Kui, but he has never heard of this famous sentence from Sun Tzu's Art of War.
"Well, no, if the teacher wants to teach you, I'll teach you first, this is what I saw from the family classics. Ding Kui wiped the sweat from the back of his head.
"The Protector of the Kingdom is worthy of being the cornerstone of my Shaodian military, and the way of using soldiers is broad and profound, and I want to learn more from my junior and younger brothers in this regard. Feng Liang was still recalling that sentence.
Ding Kui and Feng Liang asked as they walked towards the first squadron camp, "Senior brother, do you see it?"
"Well, you mean that the logistics materials will not stop being transported into the main battalion, the infantry brigade of the right battalion has formed five squadrons today, and the entire brigade will be fully equipped tomorrow; the lunge mixed brigade of the front battalion has also been formed with two squadrons, and I think it will not take five days for the entire battalion to complete the formation of new soldiers, and within ten days the battalion will definitely pull out the battalion and march westward. "Feng Liang has learned from Lu Ji for so long and has enough military knowledge.
"I'm going to go to the war zone in ten days, how can my subordinates have enough time to practice?" Ding Kui could only see some clues, and he couldn't calculate the exact time, but he believed in Feng Liang.
"The first squadron is good, one or two more days to practice than everyone else. Rushing to the war zone must have been arranged by the Commander's Office, and our corps commanders were reluctant to go to the front line with untrained troops, indicating that the war on the front line was in trouble and needed to be replenished urgently.
I came to you just to talk about the drills, we have a long way to go to the war zone, and the time on the road can actually complete some of the drills, such as the formation change when charging. Feng Liang was worried about Ding Kui's lack of experience.
"That's right!" Ding Kui patted his thigh, "Fortunately, Senior Brother came in time, if it weren't for your reminder, the training task I arranged tomorrow would be to change formations." ”
"Hehe, I've come to the right place. There is not much time left for us now, and it should be all used on the proficiency of the riding formation, especially the operation of the riding formation after the attrition. The teacher said that on the battlefield, you must always remember to maintain your combat effectiveness, and you can only relax when you reach a place of absolute safety. Feng Liang said what Ruki often said.
The ten-person cavalry formation can barely operate after being reduced, but it will increase the consumption of everyone's fighting energy, and the more people reduced, the greater the consumption of fighting energy. If the consumption of fighting energy can be controlled, the cavalry formation can still exert the power of superposition, which is much more effective than scattering into individual combat.
"Got it, thank you, brother, ah no, thank you for the guidance of the Wind Squadron Leader. Ding Kui bowed respectfully.
In the Wizards' Guild of Pingzhong County, Fuji came to the gate of the magic tower and pressed the mechanism at the gate with his hand.
