Yalu Buhua's method can hardly be called a method. His plan is to use his own superior force to attack forcefully, comprehensively attack the Luoyan Army at the pass and on the hillside, and fight them in a decisive battle.
All the Jurchen generals were dumbfounded. This was their general's idea? Everyone shuddered when they thought of the power of the opponent's powerful firearms. Wasn't this an attempt to take the initiative to die?
However, Yalu Buhua's next words actually made the generals feel a little more at ease.
"I, the general, know what you are thinking. You are afraid of the power of their firearms. To be honest, I am also worried that their firearms will cause us a lot of casualties. Just like the attack on Shili Changgan not long ago, the big leader will eventually be unable to
The reason for not stopping the attack is because the Luoyan Army's firearms are too lethal. Forcibly attacking the mountain will cause a lot of casualties, and even if they win, it will only be a miserable victory. But the situation here is very different from the battle at Shili Changgang.
First of all, from the perspective of terrain, the terrain here is more open, and the passes and the hillsides three to four miles wide on both sides can be attacked. This helps our army spread out its formation and avoid being killed by the opponent's firearms due to the dense formation. Ten miles
In the Changgang attack, there were only six attackable locations on gentle slopes, and the formation of soldiers and horses was too concentrated, so the casualties were heavy. Don't you think so?" Yalu Buhua said in a deep voice.
Everyone recalled the situation of that battle, and they really had to admit that the terrain here was much more open. The slopes five or six miles wide from east to west could be used as an attack site. The entire northern slope of Fangcheng Mountain could be climbed and attacked.
. Tens of thousands of troops are spread out on the entire slope to attack. At least they can completely disperse the formation, which will greatly reduce the casualties caused by the opponent's arrows and firearms.
"Secondly, according to my estimation, the Luoyan Army soldiers and horses in front of us should not have many firearms in their hands. What I saw before seemed to be less than a dozen rocket launchers firing rockets. Although the noise caused was not small, the number was
Not many. The reason why we killed and injured many brothers was entirely because our formation was too dense and concentrated on the hillsides on both sides of the mountain pass. Therefore, the formation was completely covered by rockets, resulting in such heavy casualties. Think about it, it’s
Aren't their rockets actually not dense? Compared with the attack on Shili Changgan, it can't be compared at all." Yarubuhua continued.
After hearing this, the generals carefully recalled the previous battle. When the opponent's rockets were launched, many generals down the slope witnessed the whole scene. Indeed, they only saw eight or nine rocket launches. But the scene was too much.
They were shocked, and the fireworks and explosions on the hillside attracted their attention, making them forget to identify how many firearms the other party was firing. Looking back now, it seems that the scene was not so hot, and the other party's firearms seemed
There are not many.
"General, don't make random guesses about this kind of thing. The other party may not have used all their strength.
We still don’t know all the firearms. If this estimate is wrong, we will have to pay a huge price." A mature and prudent general mused.
Yalu Buhua said in a deep voice: "What General Udal said is pertinent. Naturally, we cannot rely on speculation on such matters. Naturally, I cannot conclude that they do not have many firearms just because they only see a small number of firearms fired by the opponent. But some things are
It can be speculated and judged. Think about it, how long ago did the Luoyan Army go out to fight in Funiu Mountain with a large number of firearms? It has been less than two months, right? What came out was their main force of 100,000 elite soldiers and horses.
Their target was our Jurchen army. At that time, our 400,000-strong army attacked Bianliang City with great momentum. If they wanted to compete with us, they would definitely bring all the firearms they could carry. Do they dare to hold anything back? In other words
In other words, Lin Jue must have brought all the firearms in Funiu Mountain out of the mountain. He has no reason to leave a large number of firearms in Funiu Mountain, right? Because the most powerful weapons that their Luoyan Army maintains are firearms.
, it’s impossible for them not to spend everything they have fighting us, right?”
The generals all nodded, and there was nothing wrong with this statement. The reason why the Luoyan Army is terrifying and troublesome is largely because of the terrifying firearms they possess. Although their soldiers are also brave and good at fighting, the leader Lin Jue is as cunning as a fox.
But if they didn't have firearms as their trump card, no matter how brave and cunning they were, they would have been defeated by the Jurchen army long ago.
"From this we can conclude that the number of soldiers and horses left behind in Funiu Mountain is not only small, but also must have very few firearms. It is impossible for the Luoyan Army to leave a large number of firearms idle in Funiu Mountain. This is very unfortunate.
Reasonable. It only takes two months. Funiu Mountain may have the ability to manufacture such firearms, but the manufacture of firearms is not simple. Didn't Li Guoqiu say that it is absolutely impossible to manufacture firearms quickly, and anyone who does not
If you are careful, the firearm itself will explode and be damaged. Therefore, it must be polished very finely. In other words, even if firearms can be made in Funiu Mountain in just two months, they will never be able to make too many. I
Judging from the firearms fired today, it should be all they can bring out. There is no reason for them to choose to hold back after they have already unveiled their firearms. After all, today's situation is an excellent opportunity for them to shoot our mountain-attacking brothers.
Why not use firearms? The conclusion must be that the Luoyan Army in front of us does not have many firearms in their hands. They are indeed bluffing to scare people. Even if they still have the throwing firearms called Palm Thunder, they are definitely not in large numbers.
.The reason is the same, they can’t make too many firearms in a short period of time. Do you think my general’s analysis makes sense?”
There has never been such a high-end moment in Yalu Buhua's life. Today should be the peak moment of his IQ in his forty-seven years of life. In the past forty-seven years, he did not need to do anything at all.
With so much analysis and judgment, his actions are completely dictated by others or
Others are controlled by instinct. But today, his analysis was so thorough and reasonable that the Jurchen generals had to admit that what he said was indeed very reasonable and could not be refuted. As a result, they had a heartfelt respect for him.
"It makes sense, it totally makes sense. Brother Yarubuhua, although I don't admire you very much, but I think your analysis just now is absolutely right. Hehe, I didn't expect that you would actually use your brain.
, This is really surprising. Someone must have told you these things before. With your brain, how could you analyze it in such detail?" Alibai laughed.
Yalu said seriously: "Brother Ali Bai, now is not the time to joke. If you think what I said is true, then say it truthfully."
Ali Bai smacked his lips and said, "Didn't I tell you? What you said makes sense. The other party won't have too many firearms. I absolutely agree with this."
Yalu Fuhua said: "That's it, so the strategy I proposed to attack by force was not to let the brothers die. The opponent's firearms are limited, and maybe their rockets have been exhausted. In short, they are not that scary.
Our strong attack will definitely succeed. Our number is twice theirs. After extending the front line, their defense line will become weak. We will definitely defeat them. Moreover, even if we take 10,000 steps back, I, General, will follow your ideas.
Withdrawing troops must be done after fighting, otherwise it is no different from deserting? I, Yalu Buhua, can cut off my head and give it to the big leader, but the damage to the reputation of our Jurchen warriors will be so huge, the world
Everyone will say that we Jurchens are worthless, and we are so frightened that we run away from enemies twice as big as ourselves and lose our temper. Wouldn’t that bring shame to the great leader and our Jurchen clan? How can we face the Immortal Heaven?”
All the generals nodded, this point must be taken into consideration. The Jurchen tribe is a nation that advocates heroes and reputation. It is absolutely unacceptable if someone points at their spines and scolds them for being cowardly and afraid of death. Moreover, let the entire Jurchen tribe be criticized.
The entire clan suffered humiliation.
"I promise you, general, that we will launch a war with all our strength. Needless to say, we will win. If we lose, we will try our best. There is no shame in losing to the enemy. It is shame to flee in fear of the enemy. If we cannot annihilate the opponent, or
If we are defeated by the enemy, we will withdraw our troops immediately. The general will bear the responsibility for the rest. How about just fighting for this?" Yalu Buhua said in a deep voice.
At this point, the truth has been explained thoroughly. What should be analyzed has been analyzed, and what should not be analyzed has also been analyzed. How can the generals have any more words? A noisy meeting finally reached a consensus after an hour.
.Everyone agreed to attack the mountain with all their strength, and the time was set for the early morning of tomorrow.
Now we discuss the details of the battle, including the division of labor between the 65,000 soldiers and horses, how to coordinate and respond, how the soldiers and horses should attack, etc. They continued to discuss it until the second watch, and then they dispersed and returned to camp to arrange their arrangements.
