Wang Junlin nodded to Shen Guoer and said: "Although there were clever moves around Na Yeon Gaesumun in the early stage, Yeon Gaesumun is not an easy person. The same is true for Gao Jianwu, the leader of Goguryeo. He must have sent troops at this time. Support Annan County. We won Nanyangzhai, Daluo City and Baishan County mainly relying on the power of gunpowder or cunning tactics. When we deal with Annan County next time, Yeon Gaesumun will definitely be on guard. There is no more. Wonderful effect.”
"And we don't have much gunpowder anymore. Without gunpowder, our siege will not be much different from an ordinary siege. Even if we take Annan County, we will definitely suffer a lot of casualties. In addition, so far, Our expedition to Goguryeo never revealed that our 10,000-strong navy was actually very good at field warfare. In this case, the enemy would inevitably underestimate the strength of our navy in field warfare. Therefore, we must find a way to fight with the enemy in the field. And Goguryeo's reinforcements came to help, which was exactly what I wanted. Through field battles, the reinforcements sent by Gao Jianwu were disabled first. Even if Yeon Gaesomun did not leave the city, they would have lost the support of reinforcements by then, and they knew that we would also defeat the reinforcements. If you are frightened, you will surrender your troops without fighting, and Annan County will naturally collapse without attacking."
Having said this, Wang Junlin paused and glanced at the generals under his command. He found that from the eyes of everyone, it could be seen that they were all fighting with overwhelming confidence. So far, Wang Junlin has led everyone and has not lost. Pass.
At this moment, an officer came in and reported to Wang Junlin: "Sir, the sand table has been piled up."
Wang Junlin stood up and said: "Follow me to check the sand table and decide on a strategy."
Wang Junlin led the generals to a large tent with a rectangular sand table two feet long and one foot wide in the middle. Seven young officers who had come out of the Shedao officer training camp were standing next to it, sweating profusely, holding hands in their hands. They were also holding some rulers and other tools, and they looked a little nervous. This was the first large-scale field battle with the enemy since the expedition to Goguryeo, so Wang Junlin ordered them to make a temporary sand table. If Wang Junlin was not satisfied, he would It was a serious dereliction of duty on their part.
There was a map hanging on one end of the sand table. Wang Junlin brought everyone in. Everyone sat on both sides of the sand table. They were amazed when they saw Jin Sanhu, Jin Xiaowu and Cui Hongguang on the sand table for the first time.
Wang Junlin first compared the map and carefully inspected every part of the sand table. After a while, he nodded and expressed satisfaction. The seven junior officers suddenly beamed with joy and were overjoyed in their hearts.
Wang Junlin then said: "According to the information obtained by the spies, Goguryeo's 10,000 reinforcements just set off this morning. It is expected that they will arrive at Annan County one day later than us. Therefore, I decided to divide the troops into two groups for this battle. They will be divided into five groups. Thousands of infantrymen will besiege Annan County and not attack. Just watch the eight thousand troops of Yeon Gaisumun. In addition, I will personally lead the rest of the troops to cross Annan County and ambush Goguryeo's reinforcements."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Junlin stepped forward and picked up a six-foot-long thin wooden pole next to the sand table, pointed at the terrain in the middle of the closing, and said: "Look, everyone, this is within a range of two hundred miles from the north of Annan County to Pyongyang. Topography. There is a mountainous area forty miles from Annan County to Pyongyang. The Blackwater Canyon in it is where enemy reinforcements must pass. Otherwise, it will take more than a hundred miles to go around. Moreover, there are ravines on both sides of the Blackwater Canyon. , there are many mountain streams, which are very suitable for hiding troops. I decided to lead 14,000 main troops to ambush 20,000 Goguryeo reinforcements in the Blackwater Canyon. Well! OK, can you find anything wrong or make any mistakes? If not I will start to divide the troops."
With the help of Nie Xiaoyu, Wang Junlin combined the army management and training models of later generations of professional soldiers to form and train the army in the salt field and Shedao. Now more than a year has passed, because most of the soldiers and every general
All the officers had been trained in the Shedao training camp, so the army under Wang Junlin was very different from other armies of this era.
For example, according to regulations, as long as problems are discovered during the combat meeting and are later proven to be correct, military merit will be counted. Therefore, there was silence in the tent. All the generals stared at the sand table with lights flashing in their eyes, their brains were running rapidly, and they began to ponder and think.
He wanted to be a blockbuster, show off his talents, and achieve great achievements easily. But he couldn't find anything wrong in a while. Wang Junlin waited for ten breaths as usual, and then said: "Since you don't have any opinions, then I
Then I started to order generals.”
"Liu Yidong!"
"The humble post is here!" Liu Yidong was excited and stood up with clasped fists, looking forward to it.
"I order you to lead five thousand troops under your command and besiege the north of Annan County without attacking. If the defenders of Annan County take the initiative to attack, they must not retreat and form a formation to fight."
"Yes!" Liu Yidong's face was high-spirited and full of fighting spirit.
"Zhang Tiangang!"
"The humble position is here!" Zhang Tiangang immediately stood up and said loudly, clasping his fists.
"I order you to lead the special forces to sneak out to Goguryeo's reinforcements. After the enemy enters the Blackwater Canyon, use gunpowder to blow up the enemy's path and cut off their retreat, especially making it difficult for their cavalry to pass." Wang Junlin pointed at the pole in his hand.
The narrowest point on the north side of Blackwater Canyon.
"Yes!" Zhang Tiangang firmly wrote down the terrain pointed by Wang Junlin, and then took out his own map to mark it. After going down, he would lead the officers of his special team to discuss and find his own stealth route.
"Yuchi Jingde!"
"The humble post is here!" Yuchi Jingde stood up and replied loudly.
"I order you to divide your cavalry into two teams and hide them in Valley No. 1 on the west side of Blackwater Canyon and Valley No. 2 on the east side respectively. Use the sound of the drums of the Chinese army as a command to attack the enemy's left and right sides." Wang Junlin held it in his hands.
The pole refers to a small valley on the south side of the middle section of the Blackwater Canyon on the sand table. From the topography, it can be seen that there is a mountain road from this valley to the Blackwater Canyon.
"Yes!" Yuchi Jingde also took out his map and started comparing it with the sand table, looking for two valleys where soldiers were hiding.
While Wang Junlin was talking, he pointed the pole in his hand at the low mountains on the east and west sides of the middle section of the Blackwater Canyon on the sand table. From the topography, it can be seen that there are many small valleys and mountain roads on these two sides, which are very suitable for Yuchi Jingde Zang.
soldiers.
Wang Junlin added: "The rest of Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, and more than 10,000 people from Luo Chunlai's command followed me to set up a position fifteen miles away from the exit of the Blackwater Canyon. They were responsible for fighting the enemy head-on. The specific formations were arranged.
we'll talk about it then."
The remaining generals shouted yes.
Wang Junlin finally said: "After each department returns, they will make various preparations according to their own tasks. The special forces of Yuchi Jingde and Zhang Tiangang, who are responsible for the ambush on both wings, can request to leave at any time and go to their own combat locations."
Everyone said yes respectfully, and then left one by one.
