Reinforcing the city, from this point of view alone, these Japanese soldiers and horses not only do not seem to continue to attack, but give people a defensive feeling.
"Defense!" When these two words came to mind, many people suddenly realized something.
"The enemy is trying to trap us to death!" Gongsun Yan said with a frown. At the same time, he continued to explain his thoughts to everyone.
If it is true as he thought, then it seems that this time the Japanese country really cannot be underestimated. They use defense as offense, but they can target their biggest weakness. There are also capable people in this Japanese country.
Judging from the current situation, these Japanese troops seem to want to defend, but behind this defense is the sharpest attack, which directly attacks their weaknesses.
The reason is very simple. These Japanese people have seized on their weakness, food and grass. It is difficult for their food and grass to be supported from the rear, and how can such a small Izumo country support the food and grass expenses of their 200,000-strong army?
.
Therefore, these Japanese people do not need to take the initiative to attack at all. They only need to use defense as offense to ensure that the Han army is trapped in the Izumo Kingdom. If the Han army's food and grass are exhausted, they will be slaughtered by them.
After all, no matter how elite the army is, you can't expect them to win the battle even if they are hungry!
Taking a step back, even if the Han army can get grain and grass support from the rear, it must be that at this time, the Japanese navy has blocked the sea route. With the Japanese blocking the way, how can their grain and grass be transported easily?
After listening to Gongsun Yan's explanation, not to mention those like Gongsun Yan, they had already figured this out. Even those who had not figured this out before, after listening to Gongsun Yan's explanation, they also realized
This is where the matter becomes serious.
"What are you afraid of? The enemy just wants to use defense as offense and act like a coward. The worst we can do is attack them! With those Japanese dwarfs, how could they still stop me?" Xia Geng!
He said carelessly.
This Xia Geng is a new fierce general in the Xuzhou Army. His martial arts skills rank among the forefront of the Xuzhou Army. However, he is a brave and foolhardy character. Therefore, everyone did not take all his words seriously.
Keep it in mind.
It was Chen Deng, as the think tank on Xuzhou Army's side, who explained this matter to Xia Geng.
"General Xia, that's not what you said. Please listen to me slowly..." Chen Deng explained to Xia Geng in a low voice.
Although the method Xia Geng said was a fool's errand, it was not unreasonable. It was indeed a method that was not a method. However, it was also the last method to be used.
And seeing that a few of the many generals have begun to develop calmly and calmly, it is obvious that these people have their own plans in mind. And since there are other methods, this last method naturally seems stupid.
Thinking about defeat before winning, the Japanese army as the defender must have an advantage. Moreover, no matter what, their Han army is fighting on their home court after all.
And if they follow what Xia Geng said and take the initiative to attack directly, if they cannot attack for a long time and their food and grass are exhausted, then this will be a matter of life and death for 200,000 soldiers and horses.
And if they were defeated in this battle, when the news spread back to the Han Dynasty, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the five princes participating in the war. The five princes jointly failed to defeat a small country, a barbarian land, this
Let the Han people think of these five princes!
"I think we can split up our cavalry and advance deep into the enemy's hinterland to disrupt the enemy's position!" Xu Da said directly. However, Xu Da's method is similar to Wei Qing's strategy of going deep into the grassland during the Battle of the Grassland.
How wonderful.
Even if the Japanese army strengthened the city walls and built the defense line well, it was impossible to block all roads. As long as their cavalry could rush out of the opponent's loopholes and directly attack their hinterland, it would be up to them to see if they could survive.
in a hurry!
Although according to the news received, these Japanese troops are still recruiting troops in the rear area, it is not that these generals underestimate them. Their regular army is not taken seriously by these generals, let alone those temporarily recruited.
of new recruits.
Of course, the reason why even the regular Japanese army was not taken seriously by the generals of the Han Dynasty was not that the quality of the Japanese soldiers was poor, but that the enemy's equipment was too crude compared to the Han Dynasty.
In the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the two armies, in addition to the quality of the soldiers, weapons and armor are also an important factor. In this regard, the Japanese regular army cannot compare with the Han army, let alone those who have just been recruited.
There are new recruits, and those new recruits may not even be equipped with enough weapons.
"I think we can use the method of alternating marches to draw out the Japanese navy. If we can defeat the Japanese navy, we will fight it. If not, we will avoid it and attack the remaining Japanese territory by sea!" Wang Jian also said his plan.
idea.
After listening to the methods of these two people, Bai Qi couldn't help but nodded. What these people thought of was basically what he thought.
After all, Japan is also an island country, and there are places for landing everywhere. As long as the sea and land are clear, this game of chess can be played, and all the arrangements made by the Japanese country before are useless.
After all, the goal of the Japanese army's big move this time was to besiege them in Izumo country and prevent them from moving. If the sea route was open, then most of this plan would have failed.
Of course, it is not that easy to open a sea route. The generals know without thinking that at this time, the Japanese navy must be hiding around, waiting for their navy to appear!
Wang Jian's so-called naval alternation method was to bluff all the way to attract Japanese troops, while the other or two or even more teams took the opportunity to do other things to achieve their ultimate strategic goal.
According to what Wang Jian said, if the Japanese naval forces were led out by the first navy, and if the Han army was confident enough to defeat them at this time, not to mention a head-on confrontation, the sea route would be completely opened.
But if there is not enough chance of winning to achieve this, then the first wave of water divisions will attract attention, and the remaining water divisions will quietly take advantage of this time to move to other areas.
Anyway, Japan has plenty of places where they can land, and their navy can blast the chrysanthemums of these Japanese daimyo at will. Moreover, they can also use the navy to transfer their forces to the rear of the Japanese army, attack from the front and rear, and jointly defeat the Japanese army's arrangement.
