In strategizing, victory can be achieved thousands of miles away.
Although the battlefield this time was only more than ten miles away from the command site, Qi Dalang still showed his commander-in-chief very well.
Basically all the strategies he devised were implemented. In the end, the Qiongzhou Army successfully suppressed the incoming Fuso Army through siege.
And the latter, due to reasons such as loss of confidence or mental breakdown, have surrendered in order to be safe.
In this battle, not only did they achieve a complete victory, but they also successfully stripped the Fuso Army of their clothes.
You can imagine how graceful they would be on this cold day.
The wind flow here naturally refers to the snot flying in the cold wind.
Cold?
It doesn’t matter, just bear with it for now!
I'll take care of you later when I have extra supplies.
It can be said that Qi Yu did not like to see this wave of troops surrendered.
Out of contempt, he even gave them a special name, called "Puppet Army".
False means untrue.
Because, the banner they are flying is Qiongjun. They seem to be fakes, but upon closer inspection, they are not pure fakes.
However, their image is far from the Qiong Army, which is famous for its might.
He even said that he didn't look like a soldier at all.
Look, they didn't wear any clothes except for shorts and a single top. In order to keep warm, they had to make grass and wrap themselves in clothes.
With such an image, it really doesn't compare to the rumored Qiong Jun.
Let’s talk about the results of the victory.
Overall, this battle was fought smoothly and beautifully.
Not only did they seize the much-needed cotton-padded clothes, they also increased their supplies of food and grass. At the very least, they would have enough to eat and drink within three months.
However, Huang Fei seemed more worried about these surrendering puppet troops.
He found Qi Yu in private and said to him: "As the saying goes, those who are not of my race will have different thoughts. These soldiers are in our camp, but they are thinking about their Emperor Meisheng. How can such soldiers rest assured?"
use?"
Qi Yu waved his hand indifferently, and said with profound meaning: "The two countries are at war, with smoke rising everywhere. During a fierce battle, how can we lack the supplies to charge into battle? And they are just suitable to fill this gap."
The hidden meaning is that they can be used as cannon fodder.
As the old saying goes, heaven and earth are not benevolent and regard all things as stupid dogs.
But now, Qi Yu is ruthless and uses the puppet troops as cannon fodder.
Perhaps, this is the Chinese saying that death is not a pity!
For this kind of unfair treatment, Qi Yu not only had no sympathy at all, but said with peace of mind: now is the time to pay back the debt he owed back then.
As for when "that year" refers to and what kind of debt it is, he did not make it clear.
With the victory underway, everyone in the three armies was very excited, and Li Hongyu was no exception.
Although, he is the son of a rich man and cannot stand in front of the formation to observe the battle closely.
However, one can observe the essence of the tactics through distant observation.
Earlier, Qi Dalang had asked him to pay attention to military affairs. Now that he had a good opportunity, how could he turn a blind eye?
After careful analysis, he finally seemed to realize that the key to victory in this battle was to take the opponent by surprise, attack him unprepared, and attack his opponent without warning when he was unable to defend himself.
A simple summary is to win by cleverness.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yu shook his head and said, this answer is not correct.
As for why, the king may wish to think more about it.
"Shaobao, in my opinion, this is clearly a matter of cleverness. How could there be anything else?"
"What your Majesty has seen is only the surface, not the real foundation. The core requires further consideration before you can understand it. Only when you can see through it can you truly understand it."
Li Hongyu couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He never expected that all his opinions were wrong.
He was about to argue, but then thought about it and quickly closed his mouth.
Didn’t you come here just to observe and learn?
Therefore, one should accept criticism with an open mind.
Li Hongyu corrected his attitude in time and suppressed the doubts in his heart.
For Qi Yu, he could naturally clarify the truth directly, but he deliberately said half of it and left the other half to let Jin Shang think independently.
This way of understanding will be more profound.
After Li Hongyu understood the outline, he accepted the suggestion.
well, let's get back to business.
After winning the first battle, the next step is to strike while the iron is hot and move forward bravely.
The current morale is strong, and the cold crisis has been solved. What if we don't fight a good battle?
Qi Yu gave the order to proceed immediately after making slight adjustments.
Among them, the puppet army formation was the vanguard, and the Qiongzhou army was the support, forming a coordinated attack.
The first battle is an ancient county town with a vicissitudes of history.
This battle was fought smoothly, and the place was taken basically effortlessly.
Even the Qiongzhou Army did not take action. The puppet army alone achieved its goal with ease.
This... the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is too strong, right?
Not really!
The city wall of this small county town is not as high as the courtyard wall of the rich man in Dafeng. You can easily enter it by setting up a ladder.
Why use a bull's-eye in a chicken-killing battle?
With this beginning, the rest will be much smoother.
Pushing forward step by step from north to south, the Qiong army captured three county towns in just three days.
However, Qi Yu can only attack but not occupy.
After he disintegrated the local armed forces and signed a surrender letter, he left. The rest was left to the demoted officials to handle.
This kind of siege mode is very likely to happen in vain.
However, there are still some shortcomings in terms of killing.
"Master Qi, have you noticed that the further south you go, the stronger the city is. From this, it can be seen that the subsequent siege will become more and more difficult."
"The northern end of Fusang are all outlying border areas. The city walls are not strong and the soldiers are not good, which is reasonable. The situation is different in the south. The closer to the capital, the stronger the defense.
It’s tough.”
Fuso Country is an island country surrounded by sea. It has neither friendly neighbors nor so-called strong national enemies. Naturally, it is impossible to have stationed border guards.
It is precisely because of this reason that it appears to be overwhelming, and even the combat effectiveness of the puppet army has exploded.
But later on, it wasn't so easy to fight.
As the enemy's defenses continue to improve, the effort required will also increase.
There may even be situations where you cannot attack for a long time.
really!
In a place called Sendai, they encountered unprecedented resistance.
The city wall here is strong and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It will never be easily captured without some effort.
