Qiming 1158

Chapter 426 They have only one goal

Through the latest information, Su Yonglin learned that Wanyanliang was marching to Shenzhou and was attacking Jing'an City, and Wanyanliang already knew that Su Yonglin and the main field force of the Restoration Army were in Jinan.

He is bound to gallop toward Jinan next, instead of trying to attack in other directions.

So Su Yonglin investigated and held a staff meeting to discuss the latest trends and tactics of the Jin army, and predict the next move of the Jin army.

It is now clear that Jin Jun already knew that Su Yonglin himself was in Jinan House, which was the headquarters of the Restoration Army.

As far as I know, the Jin army no longer forcibly attacked a city, but once realized that the city could not be easily captured, it would send troops to besiege the city, and then the main force of the army continued southward, not entangled in a city.

The Jin army passed through Boye City, went south to Shenzhou, attacked Jing'an City in Shenzhou, and sent troops to explore the road south, and the vanguard had reached the Hengshui area.

After careful inferences, the staff headed by Xin Qiji came to a clear conclusion that the Jin Army may have decided not to use siege tactics, but decided to find a new way and exchange a lower price for a longer marching distance.

They are ready to come directly to Jinan House, and no longer divide their troops to attack other places.

They have only one goal - Jinan Prefecture.

Hejian City, Zhending City, Boye City, and other cities are more likely to be broken than tiles. Jin Jun may be severely injured, so Wanyanliang, even if he has tens of thousands of elites, dare not continue to fight like this. , otherwise it is very likely that all the troops will be wiped out.

And since the location of Su Yonglin's headquarters has been found, it is enough to move towards the location of the headquarters rapidly.

He tried his best to reach Jinan, fought to the death with Su Yonglin's main force, won the victory, and then defeated Hebei without attacking.

After Xin Qiji and others put forward this view, Su Yonglin also expressed his support.

Now that Wanyanliang knew that he was in Jinan, the next move of the Jin army must be to shrink the troops, clench their palms into fists, and attack rapidly in one direction.

The staff of the staff were very worried about this, and believed that if the Jin army tried their best to charge in one direction, their impact would be very powerful.

Some staff officers suggested that the Jin Army might use the tactics of long-distance rushing, attacking Jinan at an extremely fast speed, and taking Su Yonglin by surprise, which best suits their needs.

So several staff officers suggested that Su Yonglin continue to move the headquarters to the south, avoid the Jin Army's front, and give full play to the advantages of strategic depth.

Su Yonglin didn't think so.

"It is very meaningful to have strong walls and clear fields. Because of the strong walls and clear fields, golden thieves can't get supplies by fighting wars. Moreover, it is a cold winter, and the plants are withered. The golden thief's advantage lies in war horses. infantry.

The cavalry with men and horses needs five times the food of the infantry. If the golden bandit cavalry dispatches 25 troops, it needs 40 infantry food to support the battle. If it dispatches [-] infantry, it needs [-] infantry food to maintain the battle.

The golden bandit cavalry usually has one man and two horses. If one man and two horses are to be used for long-distance raids, it is inevitable that one man and two horses will need double the food. 50 cavalry need at least [-] infantry to provide food. This is a terrifying figure.

War horses are expensive. Ordinary food is not enough. In order to maintain their impact and keep their weight, war horses also need to eat eggs, soybeans, etc. They eat better than humans.Country Dock? "

Xin Qiji listened to Su Yonglin's judgment, pondered for a while, and agreed.

"The golden thief cavalry is indeed numerous and fast. If it comes to Jinan in one go, according to the fastest calculation, it may be possible to reach Jinan in seven days, but if it travels like this, it will be exhausted when it arrives.

In the absence of food supplies from the surrounding areas and the crisis is heavy, the golden thief cavalry cannot leave the army to attack Jinan alone, and must follow the main force of the army to move forward slowly, otherwise once the food is exhausted, people can still bear it, how can horses bear it ? "

Xin Qiji's opinion fits Su Yonglin's opinion and is very convincing.

Decades ago, all the records of the Jin Army's forced marches were based on the premise that there were no strong walls and clear fields, and officials from various places provided help. Now, neither of these two conditions are met. How could the Jin Army accomplish this task?
Although the cavalry is fast and has a strong impact, it can catch the opponent by surprise, but once the food cannot keep up, and the horses do not have enough food to eat, the cavalry itself will become a weaker unit than the infantry.

The horses cannot run, that is a huge burden, and the remaining Golden Army cavalry will become infantry, and it is very likely that they will be surrounded by the Restoration Army and annihilated.

As a result, the staff members unified their views and believed that it was impossible for the Jin Army to directly attack Jinan by using the sneak attack tactics of long-distance raids.

Even so, the more than 500 miles from Shenzhou to Jinan is also the last buffer between the Restoration Army and the Jin Army.

How to make better use of the more than 500 miles to exhaust the power of the Jin army is also a question worth thinking about.

Su Yonglin stared at the map for a while, then suddenly asked a question.

"You said that if the Jin Army did not attack the city along the way, they would have to divide their troops to surround the city to protect the food supply, but would such a tactic really make their food supply safer?"

The staff members all looked at Su Yonglin.

Su Yonglin pointed to the current marching route of the Jin Army: "If they want to continue south, the most likely way is to pass through Jizhou, Enzhou, Dezhou, and then enter Jinan. In these three states, there are Hengshui, Xindu, Liting, The four cities in the plain act as barriers.

In addition, Jing'an, Zhending and Hejian have not been occupied. The cities along the route of the golden thieves are not dead cities. There are also elite soldiers and horses in the city. If the golden thieves do not have sufficient troops to surround these cities, they can really guarantee. The soldiers and horses in the city do not go out to destroy their food supply? "

The staff members looked at the map, you look at me, I look at you, and after a while of whispering, Su Yonglin felt that what Su Yonglin said made sense.

Xin Qiji added: "Also, they say that there are hundreds of thousands of troops, but in fact there are only 10 to [-] soldiers, and the real elite may only be in the early [-]s. There are so many cities along the way, large and small. It will take tens of thousands of people to surround it, and people will be sent to protect the grain road.

So how many more do they have for the final battle?If they need enough troops to launch a decisive battle, the ones who stay behind will definitely not be elites. It is very likely that they will sign the army mainly, and will they have combat effectiveness?
Having said that, instead of conquering the cities along the way, but encircling it with troops, and then heading south, I don’t think normal people would do such a dangerous and dangerous thing. "

The staff couldn't hold back and laughed together.

Su Yonglin smiled slightly, then pointed at the location of Shenzhou on the map, his face full of excitement.

"The elite army is limited, and it is impossible for Wanyanliang to fight me without an elite army, so I think Wanyanliang is betting that before his rear completely collapses, he can reach Jinan, fight me to the death, and win.

As long as the battle can be won, all problems can be solved easily. As long as I die and the Restoration Army is defeated, he will win the bet, and all problems can be solved.

But if his rear collapsed faster than he thought, making it impossible for him to win the battle, what would he do?He put all the elite troops in Jinan, and then the entire Jin army in Hebei was destroyed by me, what should he do? "
