Chapter 82 Countermeasures against the enemy
At Chen Shi, Chen Xun was awakened by the noise outside the house. He had the efficient rest ability given by the elegance of the horse. Although he had only slept for more than two hours, his energy and physical strength had basically recovered.
I came to the camp outside the village again, convened all the officers above the head, and continued to hold the meeting that I could not complete last night, and discussed strategies to respond to the enemy.
The atmosphere of this meeting was completely different from last night. Everyone had a sense of light work, so overall, there was no sense of depression like a storm, but it seemed very relaxed.
In the relaxed atmosphere, everyone's ideas were also very active, and some bold ideas came out.
for example:
"Can we surround Wei and rescue Zhao, send troops to attack Guangzhou City directly, forcing the officers and soldiers to return to defense? In this way, the problem of the battlefield setting will be solved." Youdu Tou suggested.
The idea is very good, but if the officers and soldiers have to exchange for you with their heads, Song Ting will lose at most a state city, and Chenjiazhuang will be over.
Of course, if the personnel and assets of Chenjiazhuang are transferred out in advance, this tactic will have conditions for implementation.
However, the personnel and assets have been transferred out. Isn’t it better to fight guerrilla warfare with officers and soldiers? We have a horse army.
For example:
"We used the horse army to rush the rear of the officers and soldiers like the last time. This time we have too many people, so we will definitely win."
This is to use the same trick again.
The last time I faced was the Xiang army. They borrowed some divine arm crossbows from the imperial guards and did not have time to use them, so that the horse army in Chenjiazhuang could easily rush into the camp.
This time I was facing the imperial guards. Not to mention whether the officers and soldiers had experienced a horse army's rushing forward, whether there was any precaution. Just say that more than 80% of the imperial guards' long-range attack units, it is estimated that 300 horses will almost die when they rushed to the front.
Chenjiazhuang is not a grassland ethnic group in the north. It has a horse army of thousands of horses that can withstand consumption.
Speaking of the horse army, several branches in the north came back to support this time and brought back 500 Mongolian horses, which gave Chen Xun a big surprise.
Although these stallions in Mali in Mongolia were incited, most of the mares accounted for, and Chen Xun put them in the zoo to make "horse production" machines.
There are even more outrageous things that cannot be listed one by one.
However, compared to those unreliable suggestions, some of them are somewhat constructive.
for example:
A Dutou Lai Qingyun who Chen Xun had never paid attention to before. He used to defend Dutou in the Mayi branch, and the enemies he faced were mainly local indigenous people and intercoms, and pirates.
He suggested that Chenjiazhuang face the separation of officers and soldiers and attack them this time. The division of officers and soldiers encirclement and suppression is equivalent to giving Chenjiazhuang a chance, allowing Chenjiazhuang to establish advantages on local battlefields and form a situation where the enemy is weak and we are strong.
This tactic just fits Chen Xun's combat philosophy, that is, on the battlefield, the strong can defeat the weak.
In this anti-encirclement and suppression battle, Chenjiazhuang's total strength was weaker than that of the officers and soldiers. There is no doubt that in order to ultimately defeat the officers and soldiers, we must find our own strengths and the enemy's weaknesses, and use our own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.
After hearing his suggestion, Chen Xun asked directly: "Which direction should the enemy in which direction should we take as our main attack direction."
"On the sea." This is Lai Qingyun's answer.
I really haven't seen each other for three days, and I looked at each other with admiration. I never noticed that this kid actually has military capabilities that are stronger than ordinary people.
Looking at his slightly tender but already covered with wind and frost, Chen Xun understood that Lai Qingyun must have often visited the front line in Ma Yi to improve so quickly.
Next, the combat suggestions of others seemed much inferior to Lai Qingyun's "Golden Jade", but they were also considered to be supplemented.
Finally, the combat conference set a combat policy of naval combat first and then land combat.
First, the Haiwei defeated the enemies of Nan Enzhou and Xinzhou from the south. Chenjiazhuang had obvious weapons advantages in naval battles, and there was a generational difference between the officers and soldiers of this era, so it was easy to win.
Then the infantry guards dragged the main force of the officers and soldiers from the north, and then the Haiwei and some infantry guards eliminated the weakest Huizhou soldiers among the three armies.
Finally, the Haiwei cut off the logistics of the main force of the Northern Line officers and soldiers, and gave their infantry sufficient combat time to find opportunities to defeat the officers and soldiers.
At the end of the discussion, the difficulties in combat focused on one issue.
How can infantry guards drag down the number of officers and soldiers on land, which may exceed 7,000 (1,500 imperial guards in the three states, 2,500 border troops, and 3,000 auxiliary soldiers).
There were only 1,500 infantry guards in Chenjiazhuang, and some of them had to be drawn to cooperate with the Haiwei to eliminate the Huizhou soldiers.
Even if calculated based on 1,500 people, the gap between the forces between the enemy and us is too big.
It is almost impossible to hold up 7,000 officers and soldiers in the field.
"If the Northern Route Army wants to wait for the border army, the attack time will be at least half a month later. By then, the village wall has been built, and we can use the village wall to defend the Northern Route Army." Lu Hui suggested.
"Using the village wall can indeed drag the Northern Route Army, but this strategy has two shortcomings." Chen Xun analyzed.
"First, most of the workshops in Chenjiazhuang are located outside the village wall, and the private port is also outside the village wall, and there is also the South Courtyard. If you rely on the village wall to defend, these places can only be given up to the officers and soldiers, and the losses are too great."
"Second, using the village wall to defend, our room for maneuver will be very small. The Huizhou soldiers in the east may meet the Northern Army, and the scale of the enemy we face in the decisive battle will be further strengthened."
The main purpose of attacking them is to fight a time difference. If the officers and soldiers gather in the east and north, this combat strategy will be half failed.
"This seems to have entered a dead end again." Sun Zheng sighed: "Unless all the personnel and materials outside the village wall are transferred and the clear fields are firmly strengthened, the village wall can be used to defend and fight."
"Yes, it's okay for our Haiwei to fight against the Southern Route Army, but if we transfer all so many people and supplies in Chenjiazhuang to Daliu to ask for the island, we would be powerless." Ke Lei said afterwards.
This difficulty is very practical, Daliuqiu Island is too far from Guangzhou.
"Is it okay to transfer people lightly?" Chen Xun asked.
"It's easy to talk about. You can get on the boat by yourself, and you can finally get it away at one time after you squeeze." Ke Lei replied.
When everyone talked about this, they were a little silent.
What we need to face now is a problem of willingness.
In fact, it is not necessary to give up. If Chenjiazhuang is sure to eventually defeat the Northern Army, it is also OK to temporarily transfer personnel and materials into the wall of the village.
But the difficulty lies in the difficulty, and no one can guarantee that this battle will definitely be won.
In any case, it's safe to transfer first.
"Since the transportation capacity is enough, just because the traffic is too far away, we will transport it nearby." Chen Xun said.
"Nearly?" Ke Lei raised his eyes and thought for a while and asked, "Is Lamma Island?"
