Chapter 1041 Wang Yan is a famous general

Wang Yan said his guess.

Zhou Benyuan swallowed and his face became very ugly.

"All control, what you said... are the worst possibilities. There are more possibilities, right? The Ming Kingdom is still overhauling the Yellow River. In this case, will they go south with the power of the whole country? No? Is it possible?"

"Fighting gold thieves, I always plan for the worst."

Wang Yan said coldly, "Fighting against the golden thieves still needs to be so cautious, and now facing the Ming people who are far stronger than the golden thieves, if I don't plan for the worst possible situation, it is inevitable that the entire army will be wiped out, and there will be no bones left. You and I will inevitably be ruined and scorned by future generations.

If we think that the Ming Kingdom cannot start a large-scale war by repairing the Yellow River, it will be too underestimated, and I am afraid that it will become the next Xia Kingdom. Everyone, the Ming Kingdom has been dormant for a long time. . "

The generals were horrified and turned to Wang Yan for strategies to solve the problem.

Since he can ask a question, it means that Wang Yan also has a solution to the problem, right?
They looked at Wang Yan very eagerly.

But they didn't know that Wang Yan himself regretted a little why he had to hurry. If he was a little slower, maybe he wouldn't have to dare to come to Xiangyang at this critical time and face such a terrible situation.

Method?

any solution?
The other party has already taken the lead and made it clear that they will encircle you in Xiangyang and wipe them out. What else can you do?
Retreat south now?

The troops of the Ming army exercise are still in the Guanghua army. I am afraid that they will be able to chase after the news in a day. By then, the Xiangyang army will definitely not be able to retreat completely.

Retreat east?

I'm afraid I haven't walked a few steps yet. The elite iron cavalry of the Ming Army will make a surprise attack in the south. At that time, they will fall into a dangerous field battle. Whether they can protect themselves is a big problem.

Retreat west?

The mountains of Qinling Mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the road to Shu is famous all over the world. A few people can still take it as a challenge in life. Tens of thousands of troops have climbed the mountains and mountains. I am afraid that two or three of the last ten people can follow the troops to Hanzhong. It is a victory. If you don't die, you have to desert and run away.

To the north?
That is the land of the Ming Kingdom, and the army of people is waiting for you there. I am afraid that you are not actively seeking death in the past!

After thinking about it, Wang Yan really has no way to break the situation. The reality is in front of him, and he is already powerless.

With a long sigh, Wang Yan shook his head helplessly.

"Conspiracies can be broken, but Yang's schemes are so good? With 4 of us, there is absolutely no way to defeat the enemy. The last chance of life is to defend Xiangfan."

Wang Yan pointed at the place of Xiangfan on the map, attracting all the generals to look down together.

If the Southern Song Dynasty court did good things during the entire period of the confrontation between the Jin and Song Dynasties and during the Ming-Song war, we can only talk about their management of the land of Xiangfan.

Xiangfan is Xiangyang and Fancheng. The two cities stand between the Han River. The south is Xiangyang and the north is Fancheng. The two cities are each other's horns.

Xiangyang and Fancheng have a very good advantage.

Even if the land traffic is blocked, the rear can take advantage of the Song army navy to transport food, weapons, clothing and armor from the Han River to Xiangfan.

Even if Xiangfan is in an extremely dangerous situation, the two cities can communicate with each other through waterways and pontoon bridges to support each other.

Moreover, in order to fight against the Jin and Ming kingdoms for a long time, the Southern Song Dynasty has accumulated a lot of food in Xiangyang and Fancheng. At present, the food stored in the second city of Xiangfan can be eaten for three years.

After verification of weapons and ordnance, although there is not much storage and the yield rate is low, there are a large number of professional craftsmen in Xiangfan Second City. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, they can produce ordnance at full capacity for the use of the army.

This is the biggest advantage of Xiangfan Second City, and it is also the best support for the Ming army and the peasant army.

Wang Yan comprehensively judged the situation, and made a decision to defend Xiangfan to wait for reinforcements based on his years of battle experience.

Never retreat, never take the initiative to advance, never give up hope.

These are the three absolute strategies proposed by Wang Yan.

"The city walls of the two Xiangfan cities are tall and the moat is wide and deep, and they are horns of each other. They are enough to support each other and fight the invasion. Even in the worst case, the two cities of Xiangfan can support each other. ."

Wang Yan made a judgment.

A ministry will ask what to do if the siege still cannot be cleared after three years?
Wang Yan was silent for a while, and then sighed silently.

"If after three years there is still no reinforcements to clear the siege, there is no need to fight this battle."

The generals were speechless about this.

But having said that, we still cannot give up hope at the moment, and we must not sit still and become prisoners.

He decided to implement a fortified wall and clear fields to increase the difficulty of survival for the peasant army or the Ming army, and at the same time increase the possibility of his own defense success.

All in all, collect all the favorable factors and throw all the negative factors to the enemy!
Wang Yan immediately ordered to shrink the defensive force, recall all the troops released, put the main defense area around the second city of Xiangfan, dig deep trenches and traps, and speed up the transformation, construction of warships, and training of sailors, in order to insist on fighting the surrounding Han River. Water system rights.

With Xiangyang City and Fan City as the absolute defense cores, continue to thicken and elevate the city walls, and place more crossbows and trebuchets on the city walls, as well as more rolling wooden stones and copper tripods, ready to burn gold juice to fight the attacking army.

At the same time, Wang Yan took the time to move all the old and the weak in the city out of the city and put them in the surrounding areas, and then looted the young men and young women from the surrounding areas and moved them all into the city.

Young and strong men can be trained as strong men and become a reserve force.

When the troops are abundant, these strong men can act as auxiliary troops. When the troops are not enough, they can pull up the city wall as the main force to fight the Ming army to the death, so as to achieve sustainable fishing, and the last manpower must be fought to the end with the Ming army.

As for young and strong women, it is better arranged.

They do all the laundry, cooking, sewing, mending and other logistical chores. They can do all the things that men are inconvenient or not very good at doing. They can do it better and faster.

Besides, they have a bigger purpose.

They can also use their bodies to soothe high-strung soldiers and soothe their emotions to reduce their likelihood of rioting and increase their will to fight.

A large group of men gathered together, and something was bound to go wrong over time.

Moreover, it is impossible for the Ming army to maintain a high-frequency siege state for a long time so that the Song army has no time to think about other things. Once there are some intermittent periods of war, it is easy for the army to riot.

It must be dangerous for such a strong group of men to gather together, but as long as they provide them with some women at this time and let them vent their excess energy, it will be fine.

As a famous general, Wang Yan deeply understood the group psychology of the feudal army, and knew how to transfer the contradictions within the army, making the army an obedient killing tool.

It is nothing more than to find an object where they can vent freely, to find an object that they, the bottom-level big bosses, can also arbitrarily exploit and oppress, and give them a certain degree of "privilege" of exploitation and oppression.

In this way, you can let your senior officers at their level be bossy to them, and at the same time keep them obedient.

These young women who have no ability to resist are the best choice.

With these women, the tension and anxiety of the soldiers can be relieved very well, which helps to maintain the organization and combat effectiveness of the soldiers for a long time.

This will greatly reduce the difficulty for generals such as Wang Yan to control the army and the Ming army to fight for a long time.

no doubt.

Wang Yan is a famous general.
