Chapter 110 Sword Points at Martial Power

But it was said that Xiang Yu had already led his troops to Wushao Ridge at this time. Although Wushao Ridge was generally a mountain range running from northwest to southeast, there was still an extended area at the southern and northern ends.

Xiang Yu's several merchant guides told Xiang Yu that after passing through Wushaoling, there was a small city called Gulang in the northwest section, where some resources could be replenished. Of course, the supplies in Gulang City itself

It is still relatively limited. If there is really a shortage of food and grass, there will definitely be no way to get much supplement from here. We will still have to find a way to capture Wuwei before we can get a larger supplement.

After crossing the southern slope of Wushaoling, Xiang Yu's entire army felt the strong sand and strong wind coming from the Tengger Desert to the north. The soldiers imitated the locals and put on turbans to cover their heads tightly.

, if no protection is provided, a large amount of wind and sand will enter the body along the nose and mouth, which will undoubtedly cause huge damage to the combat capabilities of the soldiers.

Xiang Yu led his army not to find Gulang City at the first time, but to cross the Wushaoling Mountains dozens of miles east of Gulang City. However, the experienced guide quickly confirmed the correct location based on some of the surrounding environment.

Xiang Yu was a little curious about the direction and successfully found Gulang City at noon the next day, so he asked these businessmen how they could successfully identify the direction in the desert that looked almost the same everywhere.

.

When the merchants heard Xiang Yu's question, they immediately became interested, and each told Xiang Yu some of the methods they knew to identify specific locations in the desert or even in the desert.

It turns out that these businessmen have been traveling on this road for a long time and have been to Gulang City countless times. Every time they want to find Gulang City, they will use some special landmarks near Gulang City, such as

The shapes of some mountain ranges, as well as the positions of the mountains that are illuminated by the afterglow when the sun sets at a certain time, as well as some more specific details of the scenery, it is definitely impossible for ordinary people to distinguish the more special parts among them from a group of people.

They can be distinguished from similar scenery.

But these businessmen have always had very good eyesight, and even their memory is particularly good. They also know how to use associative memory methods to strengthen their memory by connecting some of the most critical scenery in an area with each other. After several actual trips,

, these memories will be very deep and clearly imprinted in their brains.

When you come back in the future, even if you don't take the same path as before, you can still find the correct path through the memory of a large area constructed by associative memory. This ability can be said to be very powerful, Xiang Yu heard

After that, he was convinced by them. In fact, when he was marching and fighting, he also had some special ways to memorize the terrain.

In this era when maps are not very accurate and popular, many maps used in marches and battles are more or less deviated from the actual situation. Xiang Yu needs to be very familiar with both the map and the actual battlefield environment, otherwise

How to make a battle plan and lead troops to fight? You must know that Xiang Yu can only lead a wave of soldiers mindlessly, then charge forward, and then become invincible.

That is obviously unrealistic. On a real battlefield, Xiang Yu has many things to think about, but his talent in strategizing in his previous life was overshadowed by his bravery in charging into battle.

When Xiang Yu was very young, he told his uncle Xiang Yan that he wanted to learn the art of war against thousands of enemies, but he lacked enough patience and failed to fully explore many of the art of war. Of course, the bad side of this situation is that Xiang Yu

The actual usage of many of the tactics of war left by the ancients is not particularly clear.

But after all, Xiang Yu is a genius in the application of military arts. Although he only has a partial understanding of the ancient military arts that he has learned, it is this kind of military arts that he has learned only a little bit, which allows him to have more room for adjustment, and his thinking is not limited by the original principles of these military arts.

The limitation of meaning is that many military arts only inspired Xiang Yu's ideas, and then Xiang Yu applied and re-summarized them in actual combat through his own understanding, and finally turned into a method that only Xiang Yu himself could understand, and

A useful set of tactics.

To put it bluntly, he just can't learn it. He doesn't like to learn other people's art of war too deeply, and others can't learn his art of war too deeply, because Xiang Yu may not even know something that is too deep, or maybe he himself

There is no way to express it in words. In this regard, he is not as good as the old grandson.

These merchants also had some maps, but there were differences or even contradictions in the maps between different merchants in some places. Xiang Yu frowned when he looked at the several versions of the maps that the merchants brought.

But soon Xiang Yu's brows relaxed again, because it didn't take him long to find some common points among these maps. If there are some parts on each map that are not so accurate, then a few

The parts on the map that are very close to each other are the parts that are relatively accurate, or at least the areas with less controversy.

According to the situation shown on the map, there is a small river between Gulang City where they are now and the target Wuwei City. There are two bridges on the river, but both bridges are a bit small, and it is difficult to provide too much at the same time.

If thousands of Xiang Yu's troops had to cross the river on one of the bridges, it would definitely take a lot of time, and the other sides of the two rivers were heavily guarded.

The name of Wuwei City on the map is Guzang, which is what Huo Qubing, the heroic young man of the Western Han Dynasty, called the city before he captured Wuwei City from the Huns hundreds of years ago. The Han Dynasty established Wuwei County here, and the governance of Wuwei County was

So it is in Guzang County. Wuwei County at this time is actually not here, and the Wuwei City mentioned in this article actually refers to the city where Guzang County is located.

What Xiang Yu needs to consider now is whether to divide his forces to attack Wuwei City. The benefit of doing so is obvious. It can prevent the enemy from knowing where his main attack direction is. Then the next question is which main force he will lead.

When attacking an army, should you choose the upper bridge or the lower bridge?

Xiang Yu learned from several businessmen that the two bridges were built at different times. The bridge in the north is hundreds of years old and seems to have been in the pre-Qin period, while the bridge in the south was built in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, from the actual situation, although the newer bridges in the south have a relatively higher usage rate, several businessmen generally believe that the bridges built in the pre-Qin period in the north are of better quality.

If you want to accommodate thousands of troops, especially galloping war horses, to cross the bridge, the north bridge may be more suitable. Therefore, they all suggested that Xiang Yu should take the north bridge if he wanted to cross the river.

Xiang Yu did not make the decision easily, but planned to find an opportunity to take a look on the spot.
