Chapter 981: Develop tactics

"PS: I'm really sorry. I was so sleepy last night that I fell asleep while thinking about the plot. For the sake of the author getting up at three o'clock to make up for the update, all book friends, please forgive me."

————The following text————

Regarding the "common" land, there are two theories handed down today.

One theory is that hundreds of years ago, this place was a fiefdom of a clan in the Liang Kingdom, which means "offering"; and another theory is that hundreds of years ago, this place was the land of Liang and Wei.

's border.

The latter statement also has certain basis. After all, according to records, both Liang and Wei were neither strong nor weak Central Plains countries at that time. In their north, they had a common enemy "Hu Rong". Therefore, Liang and Wei were

Form an alliance and jointly station troops in common areas to prevent Hu Rong from invading the Central Plains.

Over time, this plain used by Liang and Wei to garrison troops gradually became known as "communist".

Regarding this statement, Zhao Hongrun thinks it is quite credible. After all, Shangdang to the north of Hedong County used to be inhabited by Shangdang Hu Rong such as Chidi, Lu family, Duan family, and Yun family. Every autumn, they sent troops to raid south, which seriously caused

Threaten the border security of Liang, Wei and other Central Plains countries.

From the sixth to seventh day of March, a total of five Wei armies, Shangshui Army, Yanling Army, Beiyi Army, Shanyang Army, and Wei Wu Army, made final arrangements in the Xiuwu County area.

Shao Hu personally led Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongxuan, and Zhao Hongjiang to the common place one step ahead.

On the way, Zhao Hongrun finally understood why his Wei army had such difficulty fighting on the battlefield in the eastern part of Hedong County. This was because the terrain in this area was so flat. Looking at it, there were very few woods on this long and narrow plain.

, lakes, so that people can see very far away with the naked eye.

Some forests even looked like they had been set on fire.

After asking, Zhao Hongrun learned from Shao Hu that during the last Northern Xinjiang campaign, when the Han army in Handan County retreated to Linli and Ji County for various unknown reasons, they set fire to the Communist Party along the way.

The woods in the area ensured the Korean cavalry's vision control of this area.

It has to be said that fighting South Korea on a narrow plain with almost no obstacles is definitely not a good thing for the Wei army. After all, it means that South Korea's cavalry can see Wei's infantry very far away.

.

Although Wei's infantry may have noticed the other party at the same time, but what's the point? They have four legs, so it's up to the other party whether they want to run or fight.

Therefore, no matter how you think about it, the Wei army is at a disadvantage.

After arriving at a relatively high slope area on the west side of the common land, Shao Hu did not dare to lead Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongxuan, and Zhao Hongjiang to continue eastward. After all, this area of ​​the common land was full of Korean cavalry.

"That one is Linlu Mountain."

Shaohu raised his hand and pointed to a hill in the northeast of the common land, and said to Zhao Hongrun and others: "During the martial arts practice, the three highnesses should have clearly seen the outline of the "Cuntu Tutu", but Rong Shao will not do it here anymore.

Let me say a few words... I am worried that this is a mountain city that our army must conquer. The Korean general stationed there is called "Sima Shang". He has about ten thousand crossbowmen, five thousand swordsmen and halberdiers, and maybe more

There were less than five hundred people rebuking the cavalry."

"Haberdiers?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, because he had never seen halberdiers among the Korean infantry so far.

Perhaps guessing the confusion in Zhao Hongrun's heart, Shao Hu then explained: "The swordsmen that His Highness King Su once encountered were light armored soldiers from Korea, but Korea also has heavy armored soldiers similar to our Wei infantry, that is, halberdier soldiers."

.......these halberdiers came from

Handan County should be the garrison of the capital of the Han Dynasty. The armor on their bodies is very strong, not inferior to the armor newly forged by our Great Wei Smelting Bureau... These halberdiers are not equipped with shields. They usually attack in the second round of the attack.

will appear."

With that said, Shaohu introduced Zhao Hongrun and the others in detail to the Korean army's combat methods on the common battlefield: The first wave of offensives was led by light infantry, which was said to be the main attack, but in fact, almost every time it was just to attract the attention of the Wei army.

, the real offensive comes from the Korean light cavalry; and when the Korean light cavalry successfully breaks into the Wei army and disrupts the Wei army's formation, the Korean halberdier will be dispatched.

"I have dealt with Dangyin Hou Han Yang many times. This man is very good at using cavalry to contain him. He is like a wolf... I wonder if your three highnesses understand beasts like wolves. When they hunt prey, they often

There are groups of three to five, but it is impossible for all the wolves to be exposed in front of you. There will definitely be one or two wolves.

Lurking on the side, quietly waiting for the prey to reveal its weaknesses... Dangyin Hou Han Yang is such a wolf. When this person confronts you on the battlefield, he will often put weak wolves in front of you to make you relax, but in reality

Now, he has the strongest wolf under his command lurking aside, waiting for the moment you relax."

Zhao Hongrun knew that the "strongest wolf" mentioned by Shao Hu was a metaphor for the cavalry under Dangyin Hou Han Yang. He asked with a smile: "Has General Shao Hu ever suffered a loss in this regard?"

Shaohu smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "Many years ago, when I was cutting firewood in a mountain forest, I encountered a small group of wolves. At that time, I killed the few weak wolves that were following the wolf king, but I was killed.

A few strong wolves lurking nearby were caught off guard, and a piece of flesh was torn off here... From then on, I didn't dare to look down on these beasts again."

While speaking, he raised his finger and pointed at his buttocks, as if he was pointing at the wound where a piece of flesh and blood was torn off by a wolf, making Zhao Hongxuan couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle.

After all, it was hard for Zhao Hongxuan to imagine that Shaohu, the current supreme military commander of the Wei State, would actually suffer heavy losses at the hands of a beast like a wolf.

Looking at his younger brother, Zhao Hongrun asked Shao Hu: "Is General Wei Mu's Nanyan Army currently stationed in Ji County?"

"It's 'Ji' land, not 'Ji County'." Shaohu corrected, and then explained to Zhao Hongrun and others: "The main reason is that General Wei Mu was reluctant to give up the military camp where he was stationed... There were three people along the way.

His Highness also saw that South Korea was retreating last year

At that time, the woods in this area were set on fire, making the wind and grass in this area visible at a glance. If General Wei Mu gave up his military camp, in a short period of time, our army would not be able to build another one in the "Ji" area.

A military camp."

Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan said in shock: "After saying this, I suddenly thought, what should we do if we attack the common land?... Wouldn't it be impossible to build a military camp?"

At the side, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "We can only send out manpower to look for it. If that doesn't work, then we have to cut down the wood from our Shanyang County area and transport it here."

After hearing this, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan was dumbfounded. After all, Shanyang was nearly a hundred miles away from the common land, and the trees were cut down from Shanyang and transported to the common land for the construction of military camps? How long will this battle last?

Perhaps noticing Zhao Hongxuan's dull expression, Shao Hu said with a bit of a wry smile: "There is no need to transport wood from Shanyang. There are still many forests in the Xiuwu area, but..."

Shaohu couldn't continue talking when he thought about the nearly fifty miles distance between Xiuwu and Gongdi.

Zhao Hongrun is very open-minded about this. After all, in his opinion, this battlefield is the most lasting place where Wei and South Korea have fought so far. Therefore, not surprisingly, the South Korean army will definitely do it in a way that is beneficial to them.

Transform the environment here, such as burning the forest and clearing the fields, to ensure the visibility of the Korean cavalry on this plain.

Therefore, this kind of thing is not something to make a fuss about.

But one thing Zhao Hongxuan said is right, that is, judging from the current situation, their Wei army will probably start a protracted battle with the Korean army here, and Zhao Hongrun has always been against this kind of mutual consumption, because it will make the Wei army

Being trapped in the quagmire of war and unable to escape has seriously affected domestic development.

For example, the Wei State used nearly 100,000 civilians to transport grain and grass to ensure that there was enough food and grass in the northern Xinjiang. On the other hand, in order to ensure that the frontline troops had enough food and grass, the Wei State used nearly 100,000 strong men.

If it were not during a war, where would these 100,000 strong men be used?

If these 100,000 strong men were asked to build the "Lianglu Canal", perhaps the Lianglu Canal would be completed this year.

"...We have to think of a quick way to win."

Looking at the flat plain with almost no obstacles, Zhao Hongrun frowned deeply.

In fact, the best way is to lure out the Korean cavalry and let Yuma ride again to achieve feats that can shock the world.

Unfortunately, according to Shao Hu, the Korean troops in Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass are currently stationed in Linlu and Jixian areas. I believe that Baoyuan, Jin Mao, Feng Ting and others learned that he was the king of Su.

After the army arrives in this area, they will definitely tell their troops about the "Shang Shui Yuma".

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the Korean cavalry in this area will no longer foolishly confront Yuma on the battlefield.

What's embarrassing is that although Yuma's heavy cavalry has great glory on the battlefield, the heavy cavalry is useless at the strategic level.

For example, if there are five thousand light cavalry, Zhao Hongrun will order them to try to compete with the Korean cavalry for control of the wilderness in the common area. But if five thousand heavy cavalry are sent out, they will definitely be killed by the Korean light cavalry.

Under this situation, Zhao Hongrun had thought of mobilizing the Northern Sichuan Cavalry currently stationed in Sanchuan, but his rationality told him that in this battle, the Northern Sichuan Cavalry must not come to the Handan County battlefield to steal the limelight from Yuma Heavy Cavalry.

"Is there any way to limit the mobility of the Korean cavalry?"

Zhao Hongrun sat on the horse and thought hard.

In his opinion, the best way to restrict the Korean cavalry is to camp step by step, build strongholds at regular intervals, station troops, and the army advances eastward step by step. In this case, even the Korean cavalry has no way to defeat the Wei army.

The question is, all the local forest trees have been burned, what materials will be used to build the stronghold?

Suddenly, a look of surprise flashed in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, and he secretly took a selfie on his head.

Isn’t it already there? It’s the most convenient and fastest building material.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun turned to Shao Hu, cupped his hands and said, "General, Xiao Wang suddenly thought of a feasible tactic. I hope the general will allow me to lead troops to assist General Wei Mu in attacking 'Ji County'."

"Why Ji County?"

Shaohu looked at Zhao Hongrun intently, unable to guess what His Highness Prince Su was thinking.

In fact, it is very simple, because Ji County is located near the big river (Yellow River). As long as Zhao Hongrun can conquer Ji County and build a proposed port on the river bank, the domestic Smelting Bureau and the Ministry of Industry can transport the materials Zhao Hongrun needs through the river water transportation.

To the front line of the battlefield.

The Art of War says: Those who are good at using military force must first seek for themselves and then others, and first seek to be invincible before seeking victory.
