Chapter 145 The strategy is just a competition in the heart
None of this matters.
After Zhao Xi figured out Di Qing's so-called plan, he no longer cared about it.
If Di Qing could think of this strategy, he would naturally consider all the links, and he should be able to calculate it to the point of exhaustion.
What a famous general!
What Zhao Xi is concerned about is who will attack Kunlun Pass once the opponent is really paralyzed.
"Shuai Di..."
Asking for a fight is the unanimous idea of the entire escort battalion. Zhao Xi also wants the escort battalion to show off its skills, verify the results of years of training, and let the most elite Western Army in the dynasty also see what a true king of soldiers is.
"Your Highness, as you wish! The key to breaking through the barrier that Qing thought of lies with His Highness's personal guards."
"Since I knew that His Highness was accompanying the Southern Expedition, Qing has been paying close attention to His Highness' personal guards. The Wanyin Mountain exercise has been rehearsed many times, and Qing feels inferior to it. Even if I personally led the Jingxi Road Forbidden Army, I still lost in that exercise.
Mostly there are many faces.”
"I also learned about the extraordinary nature of His Royal Highness's personal bodyguards, and I traveled with him all the way. I was deeply impressed by the discipline and appearance of His Highness's personal bodyguards... They are incomparable to the Western Army."
"Although His Highness's personal bodyguard has returned to Qing Dynasty, I think that his duty is to protect His Highness's body. Although I mean it, I dare not say anything. What Your Highness said today is what Qing has been waiting for for many days! Thank you, Your Highness!"
This Di Qing...well, how should I put it? After all, after being together for so long, my words are straightforward and not hidden from you.
Since I said I would be controlled by you, I would naturally let you control me. But in the end, I still acted like this. Isn't this temper too cautious?
Can you not be cautious? In the past, Han Qi could kill his generals without any reason. Now, not to mention His Highness the Crown Prince, even Mr. Lu dares to deal with his subordinates at will.
Although he also felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was friendly, so what? Even if His Highness the Crown Prince remained silent even if he was slightly disrespectful, a lot of civil servants would jump out... After all, he had killed a lot of Guangnan generals.
However, Di Qing still frankly told Zhao Xi what was on his mind.
In a sense, this Southern Expedition was the most free time for Di Qing as a commander. He did not hold back, did not point fingers, and did not even have the Imperial City Department or the Supervisory Army to report daily secrets to the officials.
The key point is that His Royal Highness should know the military affairs, but he just lets himself take the lead. If he acts like a woman again, it is not his own character, but also disrespect for His Highness.
…
"Seeing that his guard has not relaxed, is it because he didn't spread the news or did he find out?"
Lying on the hillside not far from Kunlun Gate, Mr. Lu looked at the shaking figures on the wall and asked in a low voice.
Zhao Xi thinks this is normal. If such a strategy does not exist, it should be said that anyone who has fought in a war will have such considerations. After all, the delaying strategy has been used since ancient times.
No matter how true you are... you are really celebrating the First Day, and tomorrow is the First Day. But the other party will still consider the possibility that you are cheating.
"Uncle Ji, all the strategies on the battlefield are actually just mental battles. The two sides are just guessing each other, and there is no way to see through them."
"Real battles rely on strength. In the face of strength, all strategies are nonsense. Take this Kunlun Pass for example. Because the opponent holds firm, it will definitely be difficult for us to attack. If the soldiers' lives are filled, it may not be impossible to defeat it.
"
"During this, there is also the consideration of increasing the number of troops, which is a long-lasting and costly tactic. The reason for such a strategy does not mean that the other side does not understand, it is a psychological competition between the two sides."
"But if the squatting tiger cannon designed by Professor Su is moved here, and a row of dozens of squatting tiger cannons are placed in front of the gate, no matter how strong the door is, it will still be blown to pieces."
Su Song should be a scientist in a strict sense. Really, Zhao Xi really thinks so.
Over the years in the escort camp, on the basis of Zhao Xi's two-pronged trolling, they have continued to improve and extend it, constantly wasting money and food. They have actually made a cannon that looks like a squatting tiger cannon.
It's just that the cost is too expensive. The current imperial court cannot afford the equipment at all, not to mention the entire Forbidden Army, even the guard camp, which only has one or two samples.
After Su Song completed the samples, there was a period of time when he didn't dare to play any more tricks. Half of the income of the entire guard camp workshop was spent by him alone.
A row of dozens of squatting tiger cannons? His Royal Highness really dares to think about it.
Speaking of the squatting tiger cannon, Mr. Lu was twitching. However, if there were really dozens of them, not to mention the peasant thieves, even the cavalry of Daxia and Liao would have beaten him to pieces.
That's a long way off, now let's consider how to capture Kunlun Pass.
Di Qing and his generals were on the other side, talking about the defense that had not yet been relaxed.
"Prepare to stay up until New Year's Eve. The city guard should relax a little. It's a big holiday. It's fair to say, so try to be as natural as possible."
Isn't it just psychological? As long as His Highness the Crown Prince does not interfere, Di Qing is sure to continue to consume it.
It is said that Guangnan may be short of money, but it is definitely not short of food. Even the wild rice grows better than the ones like them from the northwest that they bother to take care of.
When using troops in Guangnan, there is no need to worry about the transportation of food and grass. There is no shortage of food, grass, spices, fruits and vegetables, and even salt.
It's winter again, and apart from being wet and cold, others, even people from the northwest, think the life here is pretty good.
In the next few days, people were sent to different positions every day to investigate the defense of Kunlun Pass.
There was really a festive atmosphere in Penn City, and this atmosphere finally made the defense of Kunlun Pass loose.
How can you tell? It's actually simple. They are all old soldiers and have done patrols. If the superior officer asks them not to stop, it means they are very nervous. The patrol has to keep going around the wall and go to the wall from time to time. Throw the torch down.
If the superior officers were just taking turns on duty, with no specific requirements, and as long as they didn't focus on specific points, the patrol would naturally become lazy, the frequency of breaks would increase, and there would be a few free hours for the soldiers to gather around and chat.
The Nong soldiers should be a ragtag group, and there should be no mention of military discipline. They were all gathered together by Nong Zhigao who spent money.
Each mountaintop has its own boss. In the hearts of these peasant soldiers, their leader is more important than the emperor of the Southern Kingdom.
Originally guarding the Kunlun Pass, we were placed at the head of the gun. In addition, with the news coming from Pennsylvania, we were busy celebrating the holidays. So, day after day, I finally told myself in my heart: At this time, the officers and soldiers will not Will call.
The entire city of Pennsylvania is filled with a festive atmosphere. From the Guangnan Yamen to the lowest level of the people, everyone is decorated with lights and colorful decorations... It's time to celebrate the festival.
The knot between Zhao Qinglan's brows deepened. She didn't dare to blame anyone. The people of Guangnan were devastated, and the city of Yongzhou was still occupied by the Nong bandits, but these royal masters sent by the imperial court to conquer the Nong bandits were so grand. of festivals.
Dad, not all ministers are as loyal as you. Even His Highness the Crown Prince only comes to Guangnan for a walk.
"Don't be unhappy every day. If you want to know, just follow me and listen."
Zhao Xi can understand the little girl's thoughts and understands the reason why she is unhappy.
