"Absolute military strength, overwhelming the country from all sides?"
General, this is too rude.
Zhao Tuo looked surprised. He had thought that Wang Jian would have some clever plans in the face of the Chu army's geographical advantage, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and crude.
However, after careful consideration, Wang Jian's strategy seemed simple, but it really maximized the Qin army's advantages.
The advantage of the Chu army is the geographical location, while the advantage of the Qin army is the crowd.
Since it was difficult to attack the swamps occupied by the Chu army from the front, the battle situation fell into a stalemate.
Then don't get entangled with the opponent here, but withdraw your attention from this local battlefield, look at the larger battlefield situation, and readjust the Qin army's strategic deployment.
To be a general, the pattern must be big.
The number of the Qin army is two to three times that of the Chu army. Even if they attack separately, facing the defending Chu army on every battlefield, the Qin army still has a numerical advantage. The Chu army needs to defend everywhere, and its forces will inevitably be dispersed.
, it will appear to be stretched and somewhat insufficient.
Although the Qin army's tactics may cause heavy casualties, even injuring eight hundred enemies and damaging one thousand.
However, the losses of the Qin army were high. As long as there was a breakthrough on any battlefield, it could completely change the situation of the battle and win the final victory. On the other hand, the Chu army was small and outnumbered, and defended everywhere.
If he makes a mistake and allows the Qin army to break through to the heart of Huaiyin, it will be all over.
Once Huaiyin is captured, even if Shandao is protected by water and swamps, it will be surrounded by the Qin army on all sides and become a truly dead city.
Even if the Qin army is in a good situation, they can besiege Huaiyin without attacking, lure the Chu army out of the swamp, come to a encirclement point for reinforcements, and annihilate them on the plains.
"It seems simple and crude, but in fact it is a combination of skill and clumsiness. It breaks the situation with force. The general's deployment of troops is really grand."
Just as Zhao Tuo was sighing in his heart, Wang Jian finalized the tactics of using troops and immediately made arrangements for all the troops without any delay.
"Feng Wuze has arrived at Xiapi and Xiaxiang, and sent someone to Huaibei to give him an order to give up attacking the cities in Huaibei, turn around and go south, and look for opportunities to cross the Huaihe River from the east and go south to take Huaiyin."
"At the same time, send an order to Shouchun and Huaiyang. Except for the necessary transport ships, all other ships will come here to fight. First, sweep and destroy all the Chu boats on the Huai River, and gain control of the front line of the Huai River."
"Allocate some ships for Feng Wuze's troops to cross the Huaihe River. The rest, I will send 10,000 people to attack. Let the Chu people beacon fire everywhere along the Huaihe River. No matter how fast the Chu army on the road runs,
, could it be that my boat with the current comes faster?"
"The general is wise, but this is true and false, and the enemy cannot prepare for it."
The generals were immediately impressed.
Even Zhao Tuo secretly praised that Wang Jian's move really used the combination of virtual and real to its advantage.
First, use the superior navy to kill the Chu people's boats on the Huai River, so that the Chu army loses the ability to detect the Huai River. In this way, the Qin army has the absolute initiative when and where to cross the Huai River.
, the Chu army had no way of knowing, and could only send more troops to patrol the coast.
At this time, the Qin army used sheep soldiers to pretend to cross the Huaihe River, attracting the Chu army on the shore to gather, and mobilizing them to exhaustion, making it impossible to achieve a comprehensive defense. Feng Wuse's troops on the north bank of the Huaihe River could avoid the real situation and take advantage of the empty space of the Chu army.
Cross the Huai River directly, penetrate behind Huaiyin in one fell swoop, and dig straight into the heart of the enemy.
Of course, Feng Wuze's troops had limited troops, and the Huai River was naturally dangerous, so there could not be too many people crossing the Huai River, so the Qin army in other areas needed to cooperate.
"Quick horse sent an order to Yang Yuan, who was deep in the river, to lead his troops to take a detour and go north."
When Wang Jian's army marched eastward, he sent two groups of Qin troops southward. Among them, a group of surprise troops led by Yang Yuan went deep into the river in order to attack the Chu army's rear. It came in handy now.
However, because this Qin army penetrated deep into Chu territory and its supply line was too long, its number was small, only about 10,000 people. In addition, the road was difficult and dangerous. Although it could be used as a surprise force, it could not play a decisive role.
To really play a big role, it should be another partial teacher.
"This road led tens of thousands of troops to detour to Dongyang, avoid the large swamps in the north, and insert into Huaiyin from the southwest. This force should cooperate with Feng Wuze's troops to complete the attack on Huaiyin. I don't know who in the account can be responsible.
This important task?"
Wang Jian opened his mouth and asked about the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the partial division.
Qiang Hu was overjoyed. This partial master could accomplish great feats.
Xiang Yan led the Chu army to face the enemy at Shandao, and the false king Xiong Qi was very likely to be stationed at the rear in Huaiyin City. The commander of the partial division on this road was very likely to gain the credit of another captive king destroying the country.
Qiangxu was about to stand up and say, "Who else can I do?"
Unexpectedly, someone had already spoken: "In order to lead a surprise attack on Huaiyin, and to guard against the Chu army's attack on the grain road, the leader of this road must be brave and resourceful. In the past, General Zhao Tuo used surprise troops to fight in the Chu region, and this year he used partial troops.
The ability to defeat the Qi people and attack Shouchun in the south is beyond our reach. The general believes that only General Zhao Tuo can take on this important task in the military camp today."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment. With such great achievements, someone actually recommended me instead of asking for merit.
He turned around and saw that the person speaking was a general named Bai Meng. This man was nearly forty years old and was born in the Bai family of Pingyang. He was a descendant of Bai Qi, the former Lord of Wu'an.
After Bai Qi's death, although some members of the Bai family served as generals in the army, they never had a general who could stand alone. They were surpassed by generals such as the Wang family and the Meng family, showing a trend of decline.
Therefore, the Bai family often showed goodwill and friendship with potential Qin generals. For example, when Li Xin was at the height of his popularity, the Bai family sent a woman to Li Xin in order to get a good relationship. Who knows that the investment turned over, and now
He could only find another target, and he aimed at Zhao Tuo.
This time Bai Meng recommended me, probably with the intention of making good friends.
Before Zhao Tuo could respond, he heard the generals in the tent echoing him.
"General Zhao is brave and resourceful. He will definitely be able to take on such a big responsibility."
"Of course, I also think General Zhao can take on important tasks."
Hearing the unanimous agreement of all the generals, Qiang Xu swallowed Mao Sui's self-recommended words hard and his face turned red.
Zhao Tuo, after being surprised, looked at the faces full of friendly smiles and understood in his heart.
In addition to showing goodwill, the generals also reciprocated favors.
After Zhao Tuo defeated Shouchun before, he left Chu Palace alone and waited for the arrival of the army. He shared the credit for the destruction of the country with these generals. They were naturally grateful.
As the saying goes, give me a peach and repay you with a plum.
No matter what era we are in, it is still a human society.
This time, the candidate for the main general of the partial division had a chance to capture the false king Xiong Qi. The great achievement was that the generals returned the favor to Zhao Tuo.
"Zhao Tuo, all the generals think that you are the only one who can take on this important task. Are you willing to accept the order?"
Seeing Wang Jian smiling and asking.
Zhao Tuo took a deep breath, and under the gentle eyes of the generals and the resentful eyes of Qiang Yu, he stood up and raised his head and said: "Since the generals trust Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo will definitely go all out to fulfill his mission!"
"Okay. In that case, this partial division will be led by Zhao Tuo. I will give you another 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers. Such a force will not cause a shortage of food."
Having said this, Wang Jian looked at Meng Tian, the guilty general in the tent.
He smiled and said: "Meng Tian, after you gather your troops and horses, you can serve under General Zhao Tuo."
