Chapter 5423: Eliminate the Northern Wei Dynasty and raid the hometown
He Lanmin's expression changed and his eyes widened: "Go straight to Hebei? Cross the river from Qingzhou? Shouldn't you take the Central Plains first, and then break through the Yellow River defense line from all directions, especially through a large ferry like the sliding platform?"
Liu Yu sneered and said: "The slip platform is indeed the Dadukou, but in such a place, the Wei army must strictly defend it, build a strong fortress at the opposite ferry, and then use a large number of highly mobile cavalry to ambush about a hundred miles away from the battle zone.
distance, once our army has just crossed the river and its foothold is not stable, it will
It would be easy for us to cross the river for a full-scale attack, but the risks we would encounter would be ten times more. Our generals have actually done these deductions many times. When we besieged Guanggu, we had to consider every day the possibility of troops from the Later Qin or the Northern Wei Dynasty.
, we must also formulate various plans for possible counterattacks."
Speaking of this, Liu Yu curled up his lips: "Of course, we finally came to the conclusion that in order to destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is best to destroy the Later Qin first and occupy the Central Plains and Guanzhong land of the Later Qin. It is not only about regaining the two
The great cause of Beijing is also a necessary condition for the final decisive battle with the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is certainly possible to only send troops all the way from Qingzhou
It was unexpected and caught the Northern Wei Dynasty by surprise, but the best result was to temporarily drive the Northern Wei Dynasty out of Hebei. We know very well that in order to truly eliminate the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is not enough to only take the Central Plains.
The only solution once and for all is to eradicate them from the grassland."
He Lanmin laughed: "If you want to go to the grassland to eradicate the weeds and banish the wolves, just based on this understanding, you, Liu Yu, are a great military strategist that has been rare in the Central Plains for thousands of years. In this way, you are not only going to come from Hebei
When we advance, we will also capture places like Bingzhou and Lingbiao at the same time. In the future, we will launch an all-out attack on the grassland from places like Pingcheng, Yanmen, Hetao, and Youbeiping, just like what happened during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, not only that, I also want to go out of Ganliang and Longyou to enter the Western Regions and cut off the right arm of a grassland empire like the Northern Wei Dynasty so that it cannot reap the benefits of the Silk Road. Of course, the current Northern Wei Dynasty is more powerful than the Northern Wei Dynasty."
The Xiongnu were stronger back then, but they also had a formidable enemy like Rouran in Mobei, which we can take advantage of. However, even if the entire Monan plus the Hetao grassland is thousands of miles away, it would be difficult to chase them if we only attack them from one road.
Once the Northern Wei Dynasty was allowed to
If we go around the grassland and attack our logistics and food routes, we will be very passive. Therefore, the best strategy is to destroy the Later Qin first, seize Guanzhong Longyou and the Central Plains, and then use Ganliang Longyou as a large-scale
The base that produces cavalry builds up a powerful cavalry regiment. Only with the cavalry troops can we not be inferior in mobility. This is also the fundamental reason why Wei Qing and Huo Qubing achieved great success in the Han-Hungarian War."
He Lanmin smiled slightly: "Why, your invincible Beifu Army can't defeat the Northern Wei cavalry without cavalry? I remember that you defeated Nan Yan's cavalry, and finally wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops and nearly ten cavalrymen.
During Wan's Nanyan period, they were basically heavy infantry."
Liu Yu said calmly: "Mrs. Helan, you are not a general after all, and you don't know the art of war. What you saw was that we were in a majestic formation. During the frontal battle, our Beifu Army, which consisted mainly of tanks and infantry, defeated the South Army.
Yan has an army with armored cavalry as its core, but you have to think about it carefully.
What if these cavalry don't fight us head-on? What if they take advantage of the mobility and fast running of the war horses, and instead of fighting us head-on, they rob our food channels, attack our supplies, and make our army unable to eat?
There is no food, no water, and in the end we can win without fighting."
He Lanmin said thoughtfully: "It's the first time I've heard that we can still fight like this. But what you said makes sense. No matter how strong a soldier is, if he doesn't have food or drink, he will die from hunger and thirst.
For those who are unable to fight, your Central Plains tactics seem to focus on cutting off the enemy's food routes and subduing the enemy's troops without fighting. This is not the same as the way we fight on the grasslands."
Liu Yu nodded: "Because you grassland people live in pursuit of water and grass, cattle and sheep are your mobile crops. As long as you take the cattle and sheep with you, you will not have to worry about food and drink. However, the grains in our Central Plains do not have long legs and no food."
You can't run by yourself, you can only have people transport it to the front. This is our grain road, because there are not so many cattle and horses in the Central Plains like on the grasslands. If you use human or animal power to transport grain in carts, the speed will be very slow.
You guys are stupid
As long as the cavalry on the ground rides to attack these food convoys, they can hit and run. Even if they can't take away the food, they can also set it on fire. This is what we call cutting off the enemy's food route. The army is short of food.
, At the least, the morale of the army will be unstable and morale will drop. At the worst, the soldiers will lose their ability to fight if they are without food for a few days to ten days. The reason why our Central Plains army always suffers when going out to fight is that this food channel is difficult to maintain. "
"When fighting in the Central Plains, you can rely on cities to establish military stations. On the road leading to the front line, set up fortresses to station troops and garrison, and transport food to the front station by station in a relay manner, even before the battle.
In the warehouses close to the front line, we should establish sufficient reserves of food and ordnance supplies so that we can be prepared for war, so that the soldiers will only die in battle and not starve to death."
He Lanmin nodded: "You are right. When we grassland people fight, it is true that the entire tribe drives cattle and sheep together. Generally, we have to be 300 to 500 miles away from the battlefield. Even if we are defeated, we still have time to evacuate, and before setting off for the battle, we have time to evacuate.
When, it is often necessary to calculate
Several retreat pastures were planned, which should be private enough and allow us to have a breather to stay there for ten days and a half to gather the fleeing tribesmen, and then move towards new pastures after the agreed time.
It can be considered that you have not considered the art of war in the Central Plains.
To win, consider defeat first. Our Helan tribe failed to attack Tuoba Si in the Battle of Baisi. My eldest brother could only take the soldiers around him to flee south to Nanyan to seek refuge, while the remaining Helan tribe
The crowd was defeated by Tuoba Si's troops and then distributed to various tribes.
Regarding the hostile tribes such as the Xiangtiefu Tribe and the Hetu Neighbor Tribe, which were openly fighting against him, he collected enough intelligence through spies and caravans in advance, and especially mastered the escape routes of these tribes after their defeat, so he was able to pursue them.
Go up and kill them all."
Liu Yu said solemnly: "When we fight the Northern Wei Dynasty on the grassland in the future, I will also use this kind of tactics to raid their tribe's hometown with highly mobile cavalry, instead of just fighting with their cavalry on the front line.
The legions engage in guerrilla warfare. The so-called war is nothing more than protecting themselves.
While maintaining our own rear and food routes, we should try our best to destroy the enemy's nests, capture their wives, children, and families, seize their cattle and sheep, and cut off their supplies. In this way, if the enemy's rear is lost, the army in front will also fight without a fight.
Defeat, this is my idea of destroying the Northern Wei Dynasty in the future." (End of Chapter)
