"This group of Liangshan bandits actually gave up the advantage of a water park and took the initiative to go down the mountain to confront the heavenly soldiers. Moreover, the bandit leader Chen Kui personally led the army. What do you think of this?" Guan Sheng, who was sitting on the commander's seat, looked around everyone and asked.
"..."
For a while, no one spoke in the tent, and they were all deep in thought. No one stood up and said that the Liangshan bandits were overestimating their capabilities. From this point of view, it can be seen that there are no mediocre people in this tent.
Perhaps it was because of Gao Lian's failure that Gao Qiu rarely sobered up. Although there were still supervisors in the army, Gao Qiu made it clear to the supervisors that they could not interfere in the military at will. Gao Qiu definitely did a good thing this time.
At least this is the case for the officers and soldiers.
This Lord Supervisor is Gao Qiu's confidant. The boss has said so, so he can simply be responsible for eating, drinking and having fun. He simply did not attend this meeting.
There were two people sitting on each side of Guan Sheng. Yang Zhi and Tang Bin were on the left, and Wen Huanzhang and Hao Siwen were on the right. With an army of fifty thousand, there were only five people in the Chinese army camp. It seemed too shabby, but
Guan Sheng himself didn't think so, five people were enough.
Yang Zhi is a general after Yang Laolinggong. He is familiar with military books, brave and resourceful. He is even better than himself in military strategy. Tang Bin and Hao Siwen are both his sworn brothers. Do you have the ability?
, Guan Sheng knew better than anyone else that as for the scribe Wen Huanzhang, he was a wise man comparable to Zhuge Liang.
Wen Huanzhang is a rare wise man in the world, and his reputation as a virtuous person is well known to everyone in the court. However, the irony is that no official in the court is willing to recommend him, so Wen Huanzhang has to work among the countryside.
As a teacher, Guan Sheng asked him to come out and be a marching strategist this time.
In the novel, when Gao Qiu conquered Liangshan, if he had listened to Wen Huanzhang's advice, he would not have been defeated so embarrassingly. Similarly, this person was also an important figure in Liangshanbo who could accept the recruitment.
"Liangshan may have another conspiracy behind this move. We have to be careful." Yang Zhi said. He was also bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.
This time, Yang Zhi didn't want to lose again. If he lost again, he would really have no chance, so he had to win, and he could only win. This made Yang Zhi become more cautious.
As for what kind of calculation there is, we haven't seen it yet, and everyone is deep in thought.
"The place where Liangshan camped this time is unusual." After a long silence, Hao Siwen broke the silence.
"Why is this unusual?" Guan Sheng asked quickly.
"Everyone, take a look." Hao Siwen stood up, walked to the front of the map, pointed to the camp location of Liangshan Army, and said: "Liangshan camped here, and it is far away from here..."
As he spoke, his finger moved to Leize County, not far away.
"With the power of the corner, could it be that Liangshan wants to stop us here?" Yang Zhidao.
Hao Siwen's face was as dark as water, he nodded and said: "I'm afraid it's like this. The two places are less than five miles apart. Once one place is attacked, the other place can be rescued in the shortest time. In this way
, our army will inevitably face the risk of being attacked from both front and rear, and more importantly, these two places are like a big hand, firmly blocking our army's access to Liangshanbo, and we cannot ignore it."
"this……"
Originally, Guan Sheng and others had not thought of this, but after Hao Siwen pointed it out, combined with the map, and imagined it in their minds, they couldn't help but have a look of embarrassment on their faces. What Hao Siwen said was indeed true, and the location here is really embarrassing.
"That's not all." Wen Huanzhang finally spoke at this time, and he was only heard to say: "The Liangshan bandits chose the location here, which also means that the navy cannot provide us with any help."
"this……"
This time, the 50,000-strong army led by Guan Sheng, including 20,000 naval troops, 5,000 horse troops, and 25,000 infantry troops, will follow the Yellow River and enter the Liangshan Mountains. According to Guan Sheng's original plan, the navy and land forces will then
They advance side by side, cover each other, and cooperate with artillery to slowly encroach on Liangshan. No matter how hard they try, they can trap the Liangshan bandits to death in a pool of water.
However, despite all the calculations, it was not expected that the Liangshan bandits would actually choose to take the initiative and mess up everything. As a result, excluding the navy, Guan Sheng actually only had 30,000 fighting soldiers in his hands.
"But in this way, the Liangshan navy will also be unable to play its role, and our army also has General Hu Yanzhuo along with it. At that time, General Hu Yanzhuo's cavalry can also advance hand in hand with the 20,000 navy to threaten Liangshanbo, and Dengzhou
, several lines of reinforcements from Jinan Prefecture and other places are not without benefit to us." Tang Bin said.
"What if the Liangshan bandits choose to defend Dulonggang?" Wen Huanzhang asked.
"this……"
"As for Dengzhou and the reinforcements from Jinan Prefecture, I think we can't expect them too much this time. Maybe they will do Liang Shanbo a big favor this time." Before Tang Bin could refute, Wen Huanzhang continued: "If Liang Shanbo
If we choose to defend the West Road and the North Road, then for the reinforcements on the East Road, we will most likely take the initiative to attack. Originally, we still need to capture one city after another, but we can do it all at once..."
"not good!"
In the middle of his words, Wen Huanzhang suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, his face looking quite ugly.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Everyone asked hurriedly. They had never seen Wen Huanzhang be so out of sorts.
"General Ling Zhen may be in danger." Wen Huanzhang explained: "Since Liangshanbo has chosen to defend, the biggest threat to them is undoubtedly General Ling Zhen's artillery. There is no guarantee that the Liangshan bandits will not take the initiative to attack. General, it can't be further delayed.
, send troops quickly to support General Ling Zhen, just in case."
When Guan Sheng heard this, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he knew it was powerful. Without any nonsense, he looked at Yang Zhi and Tang Bin and said, "You two will lead five thousand cavalry and set off immediately."
Although the power of the artillery is not weak, it is too heavy and moves very slowly. The soldiers are very fast. Therefore, Guan Sheng led the army to go first, while Ling Zhen led the artillery and logistics teams and moved forward slowly. They started from the beginning to the end.
, never thought of the possibility that Liangshan Army would take the initiative to attack.
In addition, the artillery of this era fired stone bullets, iron bullets, etc., not bombs and kerosene bombs. Those were not fired by artillery, but thrown by trebuchets.
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the two of them hurriedly left the camp without any delay.
"This group of Liangshan bandits is extraordinary!" Looking at the map, Wen Huanzhang suddenly sighed with emotion. There seemed to be a little bit of expectation and appreciation in his words, but Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen didn't notice it and simply thought that Wen Huanzhang
Huan Zhang was just feeling emotional.
"yes."
Guan Sheng nodded in agreement, with a serious face. Like Yang Zhi, he also regarded the conquest of Liangshanbo as an opportunity, but he did not expect that Liangshanbo would be much more difficult to deal with than he thought. If he is not careful, I am afraid that this time
meeting……
Guan Sheng and others had never expected that the Liangshan bandits would choose to take the initiative. They thought that the decisive battle would take place in and around Shuibo Liangshan.
In the final analysis, it is still due to the influence of old concepts. In their concept, bandits should stay in the mountain stronghold and hope to survive the encirclement and suppression by the army, rather than actively come out and die.
People are inevitably influenced by ideas, even Wen Huanzhang is the same.
