Qiming 1158

Chapter 93 Facing the Golden Army
Su Yonglin had long determined that Su Yong was a helpless iron Hanhan.

Even so, because of his bravery and loyalty, Su Yonglin kept Su Yong by his side and trusted him quite a bit.

Of course, every time he said all sorts of nonsense words, and every time he spread yellowish jokes everywhere, Su Yonglin wanted to destroy his humanity.

So Su Yonglin stared at him fiercely.

"Do you think I'm the ancestors of Zhao Guan's family? You have to divert the Yellow River to the Yellow River, sinners through the ages! I mean as long as they can't use Wenshui to transport food and grain, we'll go west along the river and leave Tai'an. State.

Before the golden thieves arrive, we need to find a place with a narrow river channel, where a sunken ship or various obstacles can be placed in the river water to block the water channel, so that the ships that the golden thieves transport logistics cannot continue to move forward, and the water channel is blocked. "

After Su Yonglin finished speaking, before Su Yong could react, Su Jue, who had a brighter head, reacted.

"Yes, most of the grain-carrying ships of the golden thieves are large ships with deep draughts. If we sink the ship and block the waterway, the golden thieves will not be able to move forward. Then the golden thieves will either abandon the river and go overland, greatly increasing the manpower and time required to transport the grain. ,
Either clear the river and continue to travel by water. Continuing to clear the river takes time, and the soldiers are very fast, and the advance cannot be delayed. Once the golden thieves find that the river cannot be cleared in a short time, they can only abandon the river and go overland. No matter what, their speed of advance will be greatly reduced. "

Su Yonglin nodded.

"Yes, that's right."

After Su Haisheng listened to Su Jue's words, he thought about it seriously and asked questions.

"That's probably not enough, Alang, just blocking the river to prevent the gold thieves from moving forward, and it can't stop the gold thieves from advancing. They can march just as well as they go by land."

"Of course, so this is just a strategy to exhaust the enemy, make the enemy tired, not a strategy to break the enemy, but on the battlefield, the advantages that can be exerted must be exerted with all their strength, even if it can only increase the chance of winning by one point, that's fine. of.

They can't use Wenshui to transport grain and troops, so they need to spend more transport capacity to transport grain, and need more time, and these time can be used by us to do something beneficial to the war situation, isn't it? "

Both Su Haisheng and Su Jue nodded in agreement with Su Yonglin's point of view.

This strategy has been unanimously approved, so the strategy of exhausting the enemy has been passed and can be put into practice.

The next step is to really defeat the enemy.

To defeat the enemy, you still have to fight face-to-face with real swords and real guns. There is no tricky strategy.

Therefore, Su Yonglin proposed the concept of fighting for the initiative in the war.

"When marching and fighting, the initiative is very important. It may not be that the party with the dominant force takes the initiative, making full use of the advantages of terrain and time, and the party with insufficient force can also take the initiative. It means fighting."

"Fight as we want?"

Everyone looked at Su Yonglin in confusion and curiosity.

Su Yonglin nodded.

"If we block the river and prevent the golden thieves from passing through, the golden thieves will not be able to march along the Wenshui according to their ideas. They will either stop and spend time cleaning the river, or turn to land transportation. The initial plan will be disrupted. , is this fighting according to our intent?"

After Su Yonglin said this, the officers suddenly realized and nodded.

"That's what it meant."

"Actually, without those two thousand cavalry, I wouldn't be afraid of the golden thieves at all, and I would even dare to take you to attack the army of golden thieves."

Su Yonglin sighed and said solemnly, "But with two thousand more cavalry, even if it is not armored, it is extremely dangerous. With the current situation that our army has not completed the training, on the flat ground, the chance of winning a battle with the main force will not be high. very high.

It has always been more difficult to control cavalry by foot. Cavalry has a natural advantage over infantry. The impact of armored cavalry is extremely violent, and it is almost a hundred paces away. Turn around and flee, and the army will be in chaos without fighting.

Once the army formation collapsed, facing the cavalry, the infantry would be the lamb to be slaughtered, without any resistance, they would be chased and killed by the cavalry all the way until the entire army was wiped out. in this way. "

The officers looked nervous, their brows furrowed, and they all felt that the road ahead was difficult and dangerous.

The two armies are the main force in the attack, and without the help of other factors, it is difficult for the Shengjie army to win.

But it's not impossible.

"It is difficult to win more with less, but it is not impossible. There have been many battles in the past and present. As long as we flexibly use the commonalities of these battles, we can still do it."

When Su Yonglin said this, Su Yong felt very puzzled.

He touched his brain and stared at Su Yonglin blankly: "What are the commonalities? What are the commonalities? Alang, please explain clearly, otherwise I won't understand."

When Su Yonglin heard this, he was so angry that he couldn't hold back, and slapped this Tie Hanhan's brain with a slap.

"Ouch!"

Su Yong covered his head and cried out in pain.

"You forgot all the battles I told you a few years ago? What the hell are you doing every day? What have you learned? You know what to read about Yang Taizhen's biography, and what about Zhao Feiyan's biography! Where have you read the military books? "

Su Yonglin shouted angrily for a while, unable to lift his head up when he scolded Su Yong.

He covered his head, looking like the angry little daughter-in-law didn't dare to retort.

"I didn't read Yang Taizhen's rumor..."

"Is that the point?"

Su Yonglin's eyes widened and he was about to slap him. He quickly put his head back and put his hands in front of him, looking pitiful.

Seeing his appearance, Su Yonglin's hands moved again and again, but he couldn't bear to fight.

"If you dare to talk to the new recruits about those inappropriate things again, and spread those inappropriate books everywhere, don't stay in Huben Camp, go to Huotou Camp to burn the boiler! That big black pot, you Just carry it for me every day!"

"Alang, don't! I...I don't watch it, I don't say it, really! I swear!"

When Su Yonglin heard that Su Yonglin was going to throw him to the Huotou Camp to burn him, Su Yong became anxious and quickly pleaded for mercy.

"see your performance!"

Su Yonglin shouted angrily, and Su Yong lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Seeing this, the rest of the officers struggled to hold back their laughter, expressing silent joy at the fact that the famous self-propelled yellow paint bucket in the army was beaten and scolded.

After being happy for a while, Han Jinggui held back his smile and rectified his emotions.

"What A Lang said has something in common, but a small victory is a big victory?"

Su Yonglin looked at Han Jinggui, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"It can be regarded as someone who listens carefully to the class. It seems that I didn't waste my time."

Su Yonglin laughed, walked to Han Jinggui's side and patted Han Jinggui's shoulder.

"Yes, it is the accumulation of small victories that leads to big victories. Throughout the ages, there have been many battles with fewer victories in common. Due to the battlefield environment and the transmission of military orders, both sides of the war often cannot put all their forces into the battle at one time.

No matter how many or few troops there are, can an army of [-] be thrown into a certain battlefield at the same time and attack the enemy at the same time?This is impossible, the army must march separately, and the troops will be divided into different divisions, so the number of troops of a certain route will not be so many.

At this time, the side with fewer troops concentrates its main force to take the initiative to attack, gain an advantage in numbers, and fight with a certain army of troops, and defeat them. . "

Having said that, Su Yonglin pointed to the map.

"By blocking the waterway of Wenshui, the golden thieves can't move forward. If it can be successfully realized, it will inevitably put the golden thieves in trouble. If we are lucky, maybe the golden thieves will be forced to march in separate ways instead of no longer. It's a whole."

"And what if you're unlucky?"

Su Yong, Tie Hanhan, asked inappropriate words again, and everyone thought he was going to be beaten again.

But unexpectedly, Su Yonglin did not act, nor was he angry.

"Unfortunately, that is the golden thief who decided to wait until the waterway is cleared, and then continue to advance, so in order to increase the possibility of our luck, the blocking area should be larger, and more ships, sand and stones should be prepared so that the golden thief cannot Don't do what we want."

Su Yonglin said solemnly, "The amount of food consumed by [-] soldiers eating horse chews every day, the golden thief will not be able to calculate the account."

Everyone nodded, feeling that such a situation was indeed very likely to happen.

Then the next most critical question is how to fight against the cavalry of the Jin Army.

No matter whether the Jin army is fully pressed, the two thousand cavalry is a hurdle that cannot be crossed. Basically, they must face each other and confront them directly.

"Arranged, confronted head-on, and used a lot of crossbow arrows to fight against the golden thief cavalry. Our cavalry cannot face the two thousand golden thief cavalry directly. Only when the infantry has repelled the golden thief cavalry can we launch a pursuit and expand the results of the battle, so in fact , or rely on the infantry."

After Su Yonglin spoke with a heavy expression, Lin Jingchun stood up and reported on the current military material reserves of the Shengjie Army.

Shengjie Military Arsenal is currently unable to produce most of the military materials by itself, and almost all the military materials currently used are confiscated.

Thanks to the corruption of the bureaucracy in the Jin Kingdom, the Shengjie Army has obtained quite a lot of seizures from various military camps and arsenals.

"There are 60 god-arm bows, more than [-] other bows and crossbows, and about [-] arrows of various types in reserve. It's just a battle, and there is no problem at all."

Su Yonglin nodded and said, "Before, I ordered the arsenal to rush to make a new weapon, called the flying gun. After the meeting, I arranged for someone to pick it up and practice immediately. I feel that the flying gun can come in handy when fighting in formation."

The officers asked what a flying gun was, and Su Yonglin explained it, and then asked them to come to the scene to watch the operation demonstration.

Everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed, and the officers are all ready to fight. Only Wei Kexian, who had proposed before, still frowned and hesitated.

This was noticed by Su Yonglin.

"Kexian, just say whatever you want to say. This is a military meeting to discuss various possibilities. You can speak freely."

With Su Yonglin's support, Wei Ke took a deep breath and nodded.

"Alang, even if we are prepared to the extreme, our army has not yet been trained. Most of them are recruits with little experience in the battlefield. If we can defeat it, it is good, but... if we can't?"
