Chapter 360: Emphasizing power over strategy(2/2)
Immediately, she stood up from the armrest of the chair gracefully, pressed the wine bottle in her hand and refilled herself with a glass of wine.
"The strength of the two armies of the Western Expedition on the left and right is mainly cavalry, supplemented by infantry.
The same is true for the troops and horses of the Anxi Protectorate, as well as the allied troops and horses of the countries in the Western Regions.
So, Marshal Duan, do you think that the method of using troops that you have considered before is not only suitable for the troops and horses under your own command, but also suitable for the configuration of troops and horses of other Western Expedition armies?"
As soon as the little cutie's clear and melodious words fell, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Mr. Liu chuckled lightly and took a puff of the cigarette. An imperceptible sense of relief quickly flashed through his eyes.
Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chiezha, Yunchong, Hu Yanyu, Cheng Kai and the other generals are all well-read military officers. After just pondering for a moment, they already understood the meaning of Xiaocutai's words.
Already.
After Duan Dingbang was silent for a moment with a complicated expression, he stood up from the chair and saluted the little cutie.
"What Her Royal Highness the Princess said made me enlightened and inspired me. I have learned a lesson."
The cute little girl took a sip of the wine in her cup with her mouth slightly open, then walked towards Duan Dingbang with a smile on her face.
"Marshal Duan."
"I'm here."
"Marshal Duan, in fact, there is no big problem with your previous idea.
Judging from the current strength of the various Western Expedition armies of our Great Dragon Celestial Empire, looking at the entire Western countries, there are almost no opponents.
However, there are some things that you only see one of and ignore the other.
When the army presses the border and faces the enemy with all its strength, there are no more than two outcomes.
The first result was that the enemy saw that our Great Dragon Heavenly Army was unstoppable and knew that they were outmatched, so they directly chose to surrender without a fight.
As for the other result, it is the opposite.
That is, the enemy resists desperately, never surrenders, and fights to the death with the soldiers of our Western Expedition Army.
If this is the first result, then everyone will be happy.
But, Marshal Duan, can you guarantee that you will never encounter the second situation?"
Duan Dingbang's body shook, and he stood up from the chair with a troubled expression.
"This! This! This!"
"Go back to Your Highness the Princess, I can't guarantee it!"
Seeing the troubled expression on Duan Dingbang's face, the little cutie smiled and nodded a few times.
"Marshal Duan."
"I'm here."
"Marshal Duan, when it comes to the use of troops, there is actually no difference between using force and using tactics.
Each has its own advantages, it's up to you to use them.
Judging from the current situation of our Dalong Tianchao's Western Expedition Army, if we use force, the casualties of our various Western Expedition armies will be difficult to predict.
After all, no matter what the situation, cavalry is not suitable for siege.
Maybe Marshal Duan, you should think about it, those enemy troops may not necessarily be waiting for the soldiers of our Western Expedition Army to attack the city!
But when this happens, another problem naturally arises.
Marshal Duan, facing the kind of lion fighting a rabbit you mentioned before, you also need to go all out.
In other words, if Marshal Duan is the enemy's general when the army is pressing down,
So, besides defending the city, do you have any other countermeasures?"
After Duan Dingbang was silent for a moment with a complicated expression, he looked at the little cutie and shook his head gently.
"Back to Princess, I can't think of any other way to deal with this.
Under such circumstances, the most correct choice is to defend the city."
Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" chapter says, "The first step is to attack with troops, then the next step is to attack friends, the next step is to attack troops, and the next step is to attack the city."
Seeing Duan Dingbang's slightly helpless expression, the little cutie took a sip of the wine in the glass with a smile, turned around with a smile and walked lightly towards Mr. Liu who was puffing away a few steps away.
passed.
“Cluck, cluck.
Marshal Duan, no one in this world is a fool. You yourself would not make such a choice. Do you expect the enemy generals to make such a choice?
In this case, the problem will naturally return to what the princess said before.
As the art of war goes, take the enemy by surprise and attack him who is unprepared.
There is also the later chapter on the strength of the soldiers, the rapids of the water, and the stone drifters...the strength is like an expanding crossbow, and the movement is like a machine.
As far as the current situation is concerned, our various Western Expedition armies have hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry.
With such an advantage, the soldiers of our various Western Expedition armies can completely catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared to quickly annihilate the enemy's effective forces.
This forced the enemy to fear the sharpness of the soldiers of our Western Expedition Army and had to take the initiative to abandon their weapons and surrender.
In this case, why do we need to use large armies to suppress the situation and attack and kill the enemy with all our strength?
Although these two methods of using troops are also very effective strategies to deal with the enemy, in the end the number of casualties suffered by our Dalong soldiers were two different situations!"
"This! This!"
The cute little girl walked to Young Master Liu's side with swaying steps, then turned around and looked at Duan Dingbang with a smile.
Chapter completed!
