"Can you do it?"

My daughter has been deducing on the sand table for an hour, but she still has not been able to successfully defend the city. It is not because of her mistake in her decision-making, but because the prerequisites of this war are extremely unfavorable to her.

In fact, from the perspective of deployment alone, my daughter has done a good job. Even if some battle-hardened generals come, they may not be able to do better than her.

But if another general who has experienced many battles comes to lead this army to fight this battle, he should have won.

"Don't bother me, wait until I think about it. There should be some places in this terrain that I have never thought of before. Give me some time."

Perhaps it was because there was no new progress for too long. Zhao Linger was a little angry at this moment. In this state, she was naturally very angry as if she had taken a gun.

However, Zhao Weiji didn't care about this, but instead continued to watch his daughter's deduction with greater interest.

"Dad, what month did this battle take place?"

"Yes." Zhao Weiji thought about it and told Zhao Linger: "The war began in mid-May."

"It's mid-May." This mid-May seems to have given Zhao Linger some inspiration.

"Did you think of something?" Zhao Weiji was very happy about her daughter's inquiry about the month, which means that her daughter began to notice something outside the battlefield.

"Dad, is it raining in the south in mid-to-late May, the kind that's continuous?"

"You are talking about plum rain? In mid-to-late May, the plum rain season has basically begun, but that's just the beginning."

"So can I use the rising river water during the rainy season to stop the other party from crossing the river? When we are in Huating together, don't we strengthen the embankment every year when this season comes?"

"The problem is that the rainy season has just begun. Are you sure you can have such a large river?"

"I can try to stop the river, and then wait for the other party to rush them with water when crossing the river, just like the water flooding the Seven Armies in "The Three Kingdoms"." While speaking, Zhao Ling'er also demonstrated her ideas in deduction on the sand table.

My daughter’s idea is indeed good, but in Zhao Weiji’s opinion, there are still many unrealistic aspects, so Zhao Weiji pointed out these aspects mercilessly.

"Ling'er, your idea is very good, but in my opinion there are several problems. First of all, how are you going to intercept the river and build a dam?"

"Yes, if you look at the column here, won't it be enough." She said that, she gestured at the upstream of the river on the map.

"Do you know how big the project is to rebuild a dam on the ground to intercept the water flow?"

Hearing this question, Zhao Linger shook her head.

"You only have 20,000 people on hand. If you build a dam in Jiangshan according to your plan, it will cost at least 100,000 people. And you don't know that, it takes time to build a dam, but you don't have much time. The opponent's cavalry will only have ten days to reach your city. Are you sure you can build a dam with enough water storage in ten days?"

Zhao Ling'er shook her head again.

"Besides, even if your plan can be successful, the price you pay will be very heavy. Once the dam is broken and water is released, even if the cavalry can be washed away, all the downstream cities will suffer. In this way, what's the point of winning this battle?"

The little girl seemed to have never considered these things. After Zhao Weiji pointed out these consequences at this time, she was a little anxious and cried when she spoke: "But..., in the Three Kingdoms... Guan Yu did this. He... didn't he take advantage of the rainy season... to rush Fancheng with water... and flood the seven armies..."

Seeing his daughter feeling about to cry, Zhao Weiji immediately stepped forward and touched her daughter's head and comforted her: "It's nothing wrong with Guan Yu flooding the Seven Army, but that's the situation is different from yours now.

At that time, there were already three built embankments in the river around Fancheng, and Guan Yu didn't need to rebuild it. As long as the rain began to strengthen, it would be finished.

Moreover, even if Fancheng was flooded at that time, once the rain was light, the water situation would easily recede and would not easily affect other places.

However, although this method doesn't work, your idea is still good. You have begun to pay attention to something outside the battlefield.

Sometimes, what determines the victory of a war is often something outside the battlefield, not formations or weapons, but weather, morale, and even some habits often become factors that determine the victory of a war.

Now you have begun to think that what you need to win this war may not be the arrangement of the situation, but some other things, think about it again.”

After receiving Zhao Weiji's comfort, Zhao Ling'er felt better, but because all the previous methods were denied, she still felt a little frustrated at this time.

"Dad, tell me the truth. Can the Red Party really win this war? It doesn't look like the Red Party can win no matter how hard it looks."

Seeing his daughter looking at her with a suspicious look, Zhao Weiji pinched her little face and smiled and said, "Of course I can win. Let me tell you this. This war really exists. All the things I gave on the battlefield are actually there, and the final result of this war is that the Hong Fang won. So you should start your brain quickly and think about it."

"Really? Does this war really exist? Why haven't I read it in the book?"

"Not everything is recorded in the book, you should go back to the sand table and think about it carefully. I would like to give you a hint, that is, what are the shortcomings of the Khitans when fighting?"

"Are you a disadvantage?" At this moment, Zhao Ling'er, whose attention had returned to the sand table, fell into deep thought again because of Zhao Weiji's words.

"What are the shortcomings of the Khitans? I heard from my grandfather that he said that the Khitans were brave in combat, had excellent shooting skills, and were even more invincible in the world. What are their shortcomings?"

"By the way, think about what Grandpa Is there about the characteristics of the Khitans?"

"Well, Grandpa Xin also said that the Khitans' night battles are not very good, and they are lacking in strategies compared to our Central Plains' strategists. The commander level is not bad, and the people below are a little confused."

"Then what?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Ling'er immediately returned to the sand table. This time she let all the soldiers on the north bank ambush them, waiting for the advance troops of the Blue side to come to the riverside.

"I can use these troops to conduct night attacks first to disrupt the cavalry."

"This is a good idea, what's next?"

"Next, I asked the other party to cross the river, and my troops on the other side also returned to the city. After returning to the city, I asked the city to use an empty city strategy. The commander of the opponent's advance troops could not turn around. At this time, there must be only one idea in his mind, that is, the enemy must have ambush in the city, and he can only die when he rashly enters, so he dare not move forward."

“Very good, what about going down?”

"If we go further, the troops who return to the south bank will conduct night attacks until the other side is completely collapsed. With the soldiers in the city, we can completely force the Blue Party to the river. The Khitans do not know the surname Shui. Once the Blue Party is forced into the river, they will all be dead."

After saying this, Zhao Ling'er turned around with a proud look on her face and looked at Zhao Weiji, meaning that your daughter is not bad.

Zhao Weiji was also applauding and congratulating her daughter for her wonderful deduction, because her daughter's deduction was almost the same as that battle.

"You are already pretty good to do this, but the war is not over yet. Don't forget that there are still 100,000 people in the northwest who will come immediately. What are you going to do with those people?"

Zhao Linger was excited and forgot the premise of this war. China and Blue had 100,000 reinforcements.

And at this time, Zhao Weiji gave another condition, that is: "By the way, the commander of the 100,000 reinforcements is an extremely high-level general, almost at the level of Yelu Xiu Ge, think about what to do, right?"

"No, people of this level personally lead troops to attack such a small town as me? Dad, aren't you teasing me?"

"Of course I'm not teasing you, let me give you another hint. Before attacking your small town, this commander had basically swept across the Central Plains, which was quite amazing."

"This is called a prompt? Dad, I'm sure you're not teasing me anymore, you're messing with me, you're messing with me."

"Why are there so much nonsense? Your small town has a high strategic position. Of course, the other party has to send the most elite commander to lead the troops. Think about what to do next, right?

Don’t forget that although your tactics were good just now, it was unrealistic to completely eliminate those vanguard troops, so what you face next is not just the 100,000 troops, but also the remnants of the previous troops, which totaled more than 100,000."

At this time, Zhao Linger was crying, and she couldn't beat her. Now she was more and more suspicious that this was really a broken thing made up by his father to crack down on her confidence. In such a situation, no one could win.

"Can you give me some more tips?"

"I have to give you two more, but there are no more. The first reminder is that a large part of the cavalry coming from the opponent's reinforcements are heavy armored cavalry.

Heavy armored cavalry means that cavalrymen and horses are all wearing heavy armor, and it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to kill them.

The second tip is that it’s hot.”

After Zhao Weiji finished these last two prompts, Zhao Ling'er was already scolding in her heart: "What's this a reminder? Heavy armored cavalry, that's a fart. I had a crossbow before, but now I can't even shoot through the crossbow. What's the thing if it's hot??"

Zhao Linger, who really couldn't think of what to do, finally chose to surrender.

“Surrendered?”

"Surrendered, but if you surrender, you have to tell me how to win this battle. If you don't explain it clearly, you won't want to sleep tonight."
