Chapter 1237: Where to fight?

Qin Feng stood up, walked to the sand table in the middle of the study, staring at the solid city in the sand table. "Since I started the army, I have never liked the offensive and defensive battles of the city, because it means that countless soldiers will lose their lives in this kind of flesh-and-blood attack and defense. If you conquer a strong city and fight hard, it is basically the result of accumulated fruits of flesh and blood. So I prefer to annihilate the enemy and the wilderness, eliminate the enemy's vitality, or use other methods to achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting. This is true for Qin State, and the Chu State strategy that has been carried out for several years. Conquer one city and one land, no matter how many lives are, it will be filled in. Human life is the most precious thing. I have never experienced the past that has gone through life and death, and I really cannot experience that feeling."

Looking at Qin Feng's lost expression and thinking about the past he had experienced, the few people in the room couldn't help but sigh.

"If the enemy can run out of the turtle shell, it is naturally the best, but Ma Yue and his son have been huddled in the city for so long, how can they get out? How effective is your tactical deception?" Qin Feng turned around and looked at Chen Zhihua: "I transferred from Zhengyang to Ruijin Camp and from Shayang to Hanshan Camp. They were originally the support troops of the Wuling War Zone. Although they took various hidden measures, the news of such a large army leaving the garrison will not be hidden for long. He will move his body. If we are still trapped in the mud here, it will be more than worth the loss."

"Your Majesty, I am sure." Chen Zhihua's voice was very firm. "For the past month, the Qin army in the city has reacted very abnormally. The reconnaissance cavalry out of the city has become more and more frequent. It seems messy and aimless to disrupt our army's deployment, but in fact it is quite regular. After drawing their activity routes into a map, I concluded that they were spying on a road that attacked our Central Army base camp and the logistics camp. This fully shows that they wanted to fight to the death with us."

He Weiping continued: "In the past month, we have attacked from all directions according to General Chen's plan. Each attack was at a moderate level, which has forced more and more Thunder troops in the upper city. This also gave the opponent a hint that if we concentrate our efforts to attack the city at a certain point, then Yongdu City will inevitably not defend. Yongdu City is too big, and the defenders in the city cannot judge the focus of our army's attack, so they can only distribute defense evenly, and the attacking parties who control the active army can choose any attack point at will. We have done this.

Secondly, because our garrisons are distributed around Yongdu, far apart from each other, leaving a large number of blank areas in the middle, allowing the enemy in the city to have the opportunity to cross our defense line and directly attack the base camp of the Central Army. If we can defeat the Central Army and destroy our logistics camp, there is almost no other way for us to imagine except withdrawal. This is a fatal temptation. Even if I am the chief general in the city, I will fight to the death. Even if the Central Army is protected, I will definitely do this."

"The power in Yongdu City is not weak. According to my estimate, the Thunder Army that can fight is about 45,000 people. All of these 45,000 cavalry are armored. If used properly, this is a very terrifying force. In addition, the tens of thousands of young soldiers in the city, the Qin army does have the ability to compete." Chen Zhihua said: "So, I think that the Madam will definitely fight for this glimmer of life. The reason why I asked Your Majesty to mobilize reinforcements is actually because in order to confuse the enemy, the gap between our troops is wide so as to give the opponent a chance. If the echoes between each other too closely, I am afraid they will really not want to leave the city. But if the Qin army strives to attack our central army, our central army headquarters will be slightly weak, with more than enough defense and insufficient annihilation of the enemy. As long as one or two more troops are added, they can be left behind."

"Very good!" Qin Feng clapped and said, "Since you are all so sure, then I have nothing else to say. The monk's Ruijin Camp and the Dazhu's Hanshan Camp are all old camps in the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is equipment or combat power, there is no doubt that they are on the road. In the next ten days, they will arrive at the designated location one after another and wait."

"Your Majesty, how can we run so far quietly in the two battle camps with tens of thousands of troops?" The wild dog on the side asked in confusion.

"This is simple!" Qin Feng laughed: "How did I come here?"

"Here comes with the caravan!" said the wild dog.

"They come here too." Qin Feng smiled and said, "They themselves dressed up as large caravans, but the carriages they accompanied were not loaded with supplies, food, but their weapons. Over the past six months, there have been endless caravans from the Ming Dynasty to Yongdu, and there are hundreds of large caravans escorted by hundreds of people, which is not very eye-catching. However, it is more difficult to cover up where their original locations are. After all, an army of thousands of people suddenly disappeared, which can be found in many aspects. However, as long as the war goes smoothly, it doesn't matter."

"I have another problem." The wild dog scratched his head and then asked, "General Chen said before that the new general in Yongdu is very smart. Even if Ma Yue and his son were a little stupid, they would not be stupid, right? They must know that both our central army and the logistics camp must be the most closely protected place. Attacking these two places may not necessarily be able to get it. It is really a life-and-death life, so why do they still come? If I were to concentrate all my troops and fight in one direction, for example, they would do all their strength to fuck me Canglang Camp. To be honest, I would definitely not be able to withstand the final result. The final result must be eliminated by them. If they adopt this method, what should we do? Our large army camps are far apart from each other, and it is difficult to respond and support in time."

"Haha, the wild dog has finally grown up." Qin Feng laughed, "It's not the guy who is so handsome that he just keeps his shirtless and big knife running. It's great to think of this."

"Your Majesty, I have indeed grown up." The wild dog straightened up shamelessly and said proudly: "You made me the general of the Central Theater Command. My wife said, if the general is a completely reckless man, how can I convince the public? You have to read more military books and learn more strategies to share your worries. Your Majesty also knows that I can't read a lot of words and can barely understand the documents in the army, so my wife reads them to me one by one and explains them to me bit by bit. Can I not grow up?"

Several people laughed again. Wild Dog is a straightforward person. In Chen Zhihua's usual words, he is a person who can cover his face with three hairs. If he annoys him or he dislikes him, he will immediately turn against you. But once this happens, he will be intimate with you like a brother. He is the kind of person who can connect to the end and write everything on his forehead.

"Zhihua, please explain this question to the Wild Dog." Qin Feng held back his smile and said, "The Wild Dog's wife came from a famous family. In the past, I only thought she was knowledgeable about literature and etiquette. I didn't expect that she was proficient in military strategies, so I really underestimated her."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Zhihua smiled and said, "General Gan, the situation you mentioned does exist. Our current army's defense is also like you said, there is such a loophole, but the soldiers are in constant force and water is in constant shape. The defense that seems to be full of loopholes elsewhere, but in Yongdu, it is no longer a loophole."

"How do you say this?" said the wild dog in confusion.

"General Gan, if we are fighting another city, then the enemy can indeed take your method to break out of the siege and escape, but now Yongdu is an exception." Chen Zhihua pointed to the city in the sand table. "The whole country of Qin has been basically taken down by our Ming Dynasty. What remains are just some extremely remote places plus this Yongdu City. The enemy has no way to escape. As the saying goes, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. They have no other way except to fight with us. Of course, if they want to surrender, there will be another way out, but it is obvious that the Ma family and son have no plans."

Chen Zhihua nodded to the Ming army's defense points around Yongdu City and said, "The Qin army has a basic judgment on the combat effectiveness of our army. They can indeed concentrate all their strength to destroy the army in a certain direction, but if they want to eat it completely, the price they have to pay is also very heavy. General Gan, if the opponent's 45,000 Thunder Army attacks your Canglang Camp, how long can you last?"

The wild dog frowned: "The Thunder Army is all cavalry, which is beneficial and covert. If he had all his troops out, I would certainly not be so stupid as to go to the field with them. I must have guarded the camp to minimize the advantages of their cavalry. At the same time, I use the sharp weapons of the Ming Dynasty to cause a large amount of damage to them. If the opponent does not care about casualties, I will probably be the limit of the Canglang Camp for one day."

"Without the Thunder Army, can the other defenders in Yongdu City withstand the attacks of my army in other directions for a day?" Chen Zhihua asked.

"A little overhang!" said the wild dog. "You mean the Thunder Army is afraid of throwing rats and taking advantage of the opportunity to take down Yongdu City?"

Chen Zhihua shook his head: "The enemy will not adopt this plan because Yong is a lonely city. Even if they defeated our army in one direction, it would not hurt the vitality of our Ming army here. Instead, it would have to pay a huge price. So if he either didn't fight or fight, he would definitely go straight to my central army and logistics camp. Only by destroying these two places can we win and force us to retreat. General Gan, if there is no logistics camp, how many days can the food, grass and supplies of your Canglang camp last?"

"It's only ten days."
