Chapter three hundred and sixty seventh army without jokes
Regarding the strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west, the military commanders discussed it for half the night but could not come to a final conclusion. The intensity was so intense that people who did not know the situation would have thought they were fighting. Afterwards, everyone was blushing and having thick necks, and no one could convince anyone.
.
Discussion does not necessarily have to be implemented. In fact, this is also a time for the military commanders to exchange their marching and fighting experiences. Regardless of the final result, everyone can benefit a lot from the discussion process.
The talent of a general is not something you are born with, it is acquired through learning.
Regarding the strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west, the military leaders are mainly divided into three factions. Some people think it is indeed feasible, while others think it is purely a gamble on millions of soldiers and the future of the Dali Dynasty. It will never work. The remaining part, they are not the wall.
The grass is wavering between good and bad, so these people simply jump out to the strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, absorb the advantages, and summarize on this basis, hoping to come up with a better strategy.
Those who advocate that it is feasible mainly focus on the effect that the method of seizing the east and attacking the west can achieve. Not only can it break the deadlock of many years and collapse the defense line of the Dajiang Dynasty in one fell swoop, it can also severely damage the Sanluo Dynasty, and even bring down the Golden Wolf Dynasty.
have to.
It is impossible to say that there are no dangers involved, but compared with the results, it is worth paying some costs.
Those who argue that it is not feasible are worried about the risks of this strategy. After all, once it is implemented, if a certain link goes wrong, it is likely to lead to a situation where everything is lost and the whole team cannot afford to lose.
War, especially such a large-scale national war, is no child's play. There are too many factors that determine victory or defeat.
The last group of people who jumped out of their own strategies rarely spoke. Most of the time they watched silently, drawing inspiration from other people's discussions to improve their own ideas.
Among them, Li Qiu belongs to the third group and seldom speaks.
As the head coach, Qin Antai rarely speaks out. He is the head coach, and one word can determine the life or death of millions of soldiers. He needs to be careful with his words and actions, otherwise his words may affect the judgments of the generals below.
It was midnight, and when all parties were in a stalemate and no one could convince anyone, Qin Antai ordered some food to be served, and continued the discussion when he was full.
While eating, all the military commanders who were so fierce before that they wanted to roll up their sleeves and fight became more polite. They exchanged cups and cups, talked and laughed, and their faces changed so quickly that it was jaw-dropping.
They still make a clear distinction between public and private.
From the beginning to the end, the second prince Xia Tao did not express any opinions. He just accompanied him silently and acted as his mascot.
In fact, in the previous discussion, those who advocated that it was feasible either came from Zhengming Academy themselves, or were greatly influenced by Zhengming Academy. The philosophy of Zhengming Academy is that the results are not important, the process is not important, and they are good at taking risks.
, to put it bluntly, it is a bit extreme.
As for those who came from other academies and were promoted through their own efforts, they are relatively more secure.
Generally speaking, although everyone's goal is to win the war, the actual situation is that the military is also divided into factions, with their own network of relationships and chains of interests.
After eating and drinking, everyone took a rest. Qin Antai said with a smile: "Generals, we have discussed so much before with no results. How about we go to the sand table and have some deductions on it?"
"That's what I have in mind. My suggestion is feasible. Those who are opposed to it, come on, can you fight me for 300 rounds? After I kill you to the point of losing your armor, let's see if you still object."
After Qin Antai finished speaking, Zhang Shoubei immediately stood up and shouted.
"I'm afraid you won't succeed. I'll come and meet you." A veteran stood up and snorted coldly.
With this gesture, those who didn't know better thought they had a grudge.
Then Qin Antai said: "Let's go to the sand table, but we have agreed first that General Zhang will implement the strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west on behalf of our Dali side, and you, General Wang, will represent the three northern countries, but you don't know that we are going to implement this strategy."
, Only in this way can the real battle situation be restored. Now you each represent a side and deduce on this sand table the specific effects of the implementation of the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west."
"good!"
Neither of them had any objections.
Then the sand table deduction began. Zhang Shoubei, on behalf of Dali, first sent out a steady stream of scouts to understand the situation of the three northern countries, understand their military deployment, understand the environment, and pay real-time attention to the opponent's military maneuvers, marching speed, logistics, etc.
Implement your own strategies based on what you learned.
As for General Wang, representing the three northern kingdoms, he holds several times the army of Dali. Because the real battle situation is that Dali is the main fighting party, General Wang focuses on defense and steadily uses the general force to suppress the army.
people.
However, when General Zhang began to implement the strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west, the situation of the war suddenly changed rapidly.
General Zhang first sent an army of 500,000 to attack the Dajiang Dynasty, with a posture of breaking through the defense line. He was completely desperate, even if all the 500,000 troops were killed.
General Wang sent the army of the Dajiang Dynasty to resist vigorously, because the 500,000-strong army from Dali came too suddenly. Even if he defended immediately, the 500,000-strong army from Dali had to pay 300,000 casualties.
, broke through Dajiang's defense line in one fell swoop. As a result, Dali occupied the city and penetrated deep into the hinterland of Dajiang. There was a strong tendency to move northward.
Because it was a local battle, the people on the other side of Dajiang were worried and had to ask for reinforcements.
The fact is that this level has occurred many times in battles over the past many years.
On the sand table, after receiving Dajiang's request, the Sanluo Dynasty sent 300,000 troops to support Dajiang. As a result, their battlefield defenses were empty, and Dali Northwest broke through the defense line in one fell swoop. Not only that, the 300,000 reinforcements sent out were halfway there.
They were unexpectedly besieged by the 300,000 troops ambushed by Dali. At this time, Dali's northwest battlefield army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue deep into the hinterland of Sangluo, but turned back to chase the supporting army. In the end, the Sangluo reinforcements were attacked from both sides and were completely wiped out.
Next, the Northwest Army and the ambush army on the Dali side merged, went straight to the Dajiang Dynasty, joined forces with the Zhengbei Army who was still fighting against the Dajiang Dynasty, and led a million-strong army towards the hinterland of Dajiang...
After deducing to this level, the result is actually what General Zhang wanted, and there is no need to continue.
The achievement of such a result was all based on General Zhang's intelligence collection and the fact that the three northern countries did not know the strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west.
Of course, sand table deductions can restore part of the real battle situation, but they do not represent a real war and cannot be viewed as real situations.
After achieving the results he wanted, Zhang Shoubei smiled and said: "Lao Wang, what do you think? Is the plan feasible?"
"Huh, I'm not defeated yet, I still have three countries as my backing," General Wang said solemnly.
Zhang Shoubei curled his lips and said: "Hahaha, I have achieved my goal. So what if you have the resources of three countries as a backing? What follows is just a protracted tug-of-war. I have already occupied a quarter of Dajiang's territory and Sangsang."
Once we manage a part of the Luo Dynasty's territory well, we won't be able to take it back easily. At this time, our goal of launching this war will be achieved, and Master's revenge will be avenged!"
General Wang opened his mouth, and finally snorted without refuting. After all, what Zhang Shoubei said was the truth.
At this time, another person stood up and said: "Come on, Lao Zhang, I, Lao Zhao, have itchy hands. How about we fight on the sand table for a game? I occupy the Three Kingdoms in the North."
"Come just come, I'm afraid you won't make it", Zhang Shoubei did his duty.
Zhang Shoubei repeated his old tricks, but General Zhao's fighting style was too sloppy. Facing Dajiang's offensive and tactics, he did not choose to fight head-on. He defended the city if there was one, and divided his troops to fight guerrillas when there was no city to consume Dajiang's military strength.
As a result, Zhang Shoubei still learned and applied the method of seizing the east and attacking the west, and achieved the ideal results on behalf of Dali, but the price he paid was three times that of the first time. This was no longer worth the gain. Even if he achieved the results, he faced
The counterattacks from the three enemy countries cannot be defended unless Dali sends reinforcements.
"Twice, I achieved my goal twice by using the method of making noise in the east and attacking in the west." After the second round, Zhang Shoubei raised two fingers and said proudly.
Some people are dissatisfied and continue to challenge.
Then, all parties came and went, fighting from dusk to dawn, and from dawn to dusk, eating and drinking here, everyone was in high spirits and did not feel tired at all.
Generally speaking, when the three northern countries did not know that Dali was playing tricks on the east and attacking the west, after sand table deduction, once this strategy was implemented, the goal was achieved most of the time.
In other words, judging from the sand table deduction alone, this strategy still has great practical value!
After reaching this conclusion, most of the people present looked at Zhang Shoubei with admiration, because it was he who proposed this strategy.
Finally, as the head coach, Qin Antai concluded: "From this point of view, the strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west is a good strategy. Let's use it as a backup plan. Before there is a better strategy, we will take the safest one from the backup plan and implement it."
All the generals nodded.
Again, a strategy is just a strategy. What they are discussing is whether it is feasible or not. Whether it should be implemented or not depends on the specific situation at the time.
By this time, the meeting can be dismissed. Everyone is the leader of the same army, and there are still many things to do. It has been delayed for a day, and there are still many things waiting for their efforts.
However, as the coach at this time, Qin Antai looked at Li Qiu and said: "General Li, you haven't spoken a word. Why don't you express your opinion?"
Then everyone looked at Li Qiu.
Li Qiu came here recently and brought an army of 300,000 people. He had not participated in any wars before. However, everyone here has participated in many large and small wars in the past, so people are still very curious about Li Qiu.
of.
Facing everyone's gaze, Li Qiu stood up and held up his hands, without any stage fright, and mused: "The general thinks that the strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west is still feasible, but we should use this strategy flexibly. Under the original strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west, I would like to add some suggestions.
, it would be better if our army surrounded the point and called for reinforcements!"
While talking, Li Qiu thought to himself that since it was Jing'er who came up with the method, then I, as the master, should help improve it.
Then he continued: "Everyone, I have a way to break through the Dajiang Dynasty's defense line at the minimum cost. Our army should not have many casualties at that time. Once the Dajiang defense line is broken, both the Dajiang Dynasty itself and the Sanluo Dynasty and the Golden Wolf Dynasty will be killed.
It is impossible to just watch us further expand our victory, troops will definitely be sent here. At this time, I can cooperate with the generals here to capture the troops sent by them one by one!"
Having said this, Li Qiu is still confident. Once the firearms he brings are used on the battlefield, no matter how many enemies there are, he can achieve the greatest victory at the smallest cost!
Hearing what he said, the hearts of all the soldiers condensed.
Qin Antai took a deep breath and said: "General Li, war is not a child's play. Every word of each of us here will affect the life and death of countless people. We must be responsible for what we say."
After pondering for a while, Li Qiu said: "I am sure. This is also the reason why Your Majesty sent me here. To be honest, Generals, Your Majesty no longer wants to delay it. The war must be ended before the end of next year, and it must be based on the victory of the winner."
posture, but also to achieve the purpose of avenging Master Chen."
After saying this, he paused and continued: "Perhaps you don't know, if His Majesty hadn't sent me here at the beginning of this year for the sake of safety!"
Everyone looked at each other, and some of them couldn't react. This Li Qiu had such a loud tone.
You can end the war? So what do you want us to do?
"Is this true?" Qin Antai looked at Li Qiu and said solemnly.
Nodding, Li Qiu said: "The army has no jokes."
"General Li is so confident, can you tell us what you rely on?" someone asked with a frown.
Li Qiu shook his head and said: "It's a matter of confidentiality. It would be leaked. I can't say it for the time being. But what I can tell you is that once the decisive battle begins, it doesn't matter how many enemy troops come. I'm afraid that the enemy's mythical realm will not follow the rules and attack. The only thing you need to pay attention to is
This is the only point where I am not sure!"
It is estimated that no one here except Li Qiu understands the art of explosion. After his arrival, the war situation has been different from that in history!
Ordinary soldiers are of little significance in the art of explosion. One hundred men and one thousand men are just a matter of bang bang bang.
But the crux of the problem is that the art of explosion is absolutely unfavorable to ordinary armies, but when faced with martial arts experts, especially those in the mythical realm, the effect it can exert is almost useless.
In the final analysis, this is a world where great power is attributed to the strong and respected.
