please make me king

"Part of the main force of Houjin went to Longwangtang Village?" Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, but he thought that it was a coincidence.

But Song Xiance and Yu Baozhu couldn't help but say in surprise when they heard the words: "Hey, our army has won!"

Apparently, these people already knew that Chi Youzhai was in Longwangtang Village.

Now I occupy Zhuolu City, and the other occupies Chiyou Village, isn't it God's will?
Of course, this matter is a coincidence, and it is not a coincidence.

The border south of Bao'an Prefecture, although hilly, but compared to the southern mountainous area, it is already considered a flat place.

Therefore, for the two sides confronting each other, the original terrain remains unchanged, so the military deployment has a high probability of tending to converge.

Now that the rebel army is stationed in the old city of Zhuolu, it is natural for Hou Jin to station in Chiyou Village, which is not surprising.

Of course, since the Ming court built Fanshan Fort here, the situation on both sides was naturally different from that in ancient times.

If everything is arranged for the battle of Zhuolu in ancient times, it would be a waste of money.

Na Hongtai's original plan was to use Fanshan Fort as the center, and then set up camps along the Zhuo River as the two wings, oppressing the rebels on the other side of the river who were almost impossible to defend.

As a result, he never expected that Zhang Shun would set up his camp on the mound east of Zhuolu Gucheng instead of avoiding the real and attacking the weak.

In this way, Hou Jin's defensive facilities north of Fanshan Fort are almost useless except for wasting effort.

The rebel army unexpectedly set up the camp on the mound east of the old city of Zhuolu, which put a lot of pressure on the defense line of the Houjin left wing.

Under these layers of pressure, Mrs. Hong also had to adjust the defense focus of Hou Jin's side.

The result of the adjustment was naturally to set up a separate battalion in Longwangtang Village, just south of Fanshanbao, to prevent the rebels from blocking their way.

"Your Highness, Jianlu's defensive center of gravity has shifted to the south, what should we do?" Xu Ziyuan asked a timely question when he heard the words.

"Us? Let's send people to Sanbao, Sibao and Qiqi villages, and deploy a line of defense along Zhuo River!" Zhang Shun had already made up his mind and couldn't help laughing.

"Let Zhang Rukui go to Qiqi Village, the officials and the people go to garrison the four forts, and the party guards the three forts. The three are headed by the officials and the people, and the Dang Shousu and Zhang Rukui are assisted. They must not fight for power!"

"The remaining two battalions of Zhang Sanbai and Li Wanqing with [-] people will continue to garrison the old city of Bao'an and protect the rear of the rebels."

"In addition, Ye Tinggui, the acting king of the town, and Sun Chuantong, the left-behind Taiyuan, prepare as soon as possible at least [-] catties of gunpowder and send them to the front line, so as not to consume them all during the war between the two sides."

"This subordinate is going to draft the military order!" Xu Ziyuan hesitated and quickly agreed.

It turns out that the Ming army not only set up a Fanshan Fort here, but also set up a thousand small forts as an auxiliary, forming a complete defense system.

However, because the imaginary enemy when the Ming army set up the Fanshan Fort was completely different from the imaginary enemy of Houjin today, most of these fortresses lost their function.

Among them, Fansanbao and Fansibao were set up in the upper reaches of Zhuoshui River, and Qiqi Village is located at the foot of Zhuolu Mountain, which is the source of Zhuoshui River. It happened to be picked up by Zhang Shun again.

At this moment, the Houjin side also occupied Chiyou Village, temporarily forming a dual-core defense structure of Fanshanbao-Chiyou Village.

As soon as the rebel army moved, Mrs. Hong quickly got the news.

"It seems that this 'shun thief' is planning to set up a defense line along the river!" Mrs. Hong could not help but frowned and sighed after hearing it clearly.

The last time he was disgusted by the name Chi Youzhai, he ordered the camp near Dragon King Hall to be named Longwangzhai, and at the same time hurried back to Fanshan Fort.

Originally, according to his mind, Dragon King Village is important, but nothing is more important than Fanshan Fort with complete defense facilities and mountains and rivers behind it.

However, this time Zhang Shun used practical actions to tell him that Fanshan Fort was not that important.

Do you know why?

It turns out that after the rebel army camped in the east of the ancient city of Zhuolu, due to terrain reasons, if the Hou Jin army wanted to march, they had only two choices.

One is to cross the Zhuo River, and then attack the rebels from the north bank of the Zhuo River.

The other is to go directly to the south bank of Zhuo River, and then cross Zhuo River to attack the rebels stationed on the high hills.

For the Houjin side, it is natural that the former one is cheaper, and the latter one can only wait.

However, when the rebel army extended its battle line along the upper reaches of the Zhuo River to the foot of Zhuolu Mountain, things changed.

If Houjin still launches an attack according to the previous arrangement, then the three battalions of Guan Fumin, Dang Shousu, and Zhang Rukui on the right wing of the rebel army can cross Zhuo River and quickly attack the "Dragon King Village" on Houjin's back road.

And if the battlefield between the two sides is located south of Zhuoshui, then things will be even simpler for the officials, the people and the people.

They could have given up on Sansanbao, Sibao and Seven Banners villages, joined the battlefield directly from the southwest, and flanked the Jin left wing.

"This 'thief' is really hard to deal with!" Mrs. Hong cursed loudly, let out a mouthful of disgust, and finally ordered honestly.

"Prince Susu Hauge led ten thousand people to garrison Dragon King Village, and Beizi Boluo led three thousand troops to set up camps along the Chi Spring. Beware of 'Shun Thieves' cutting off the passage between the two places, there must be no mistakes!"

"Hey, my servant (slave) is taking orders!" Na Haoge and Gushan Beizi Boluo hurried forward to receive the military order.

The Art of War says: Inflict on people but not on people!
Zhang Shun understands the truth, and Hong Tai, the "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty" who has experienced many battles, has no reason not to understand the truth.

Since you want me to adjust the defensive center of gravity, then I will adjust it with difficulty, but I must not adjust the entire defensive center of gravity as you expected.

In ancient Chinese warfare, there is a form that is obviously different from warfare in other regions, and that is the camp.

When a big war is about to start, first set up a camp, and then seek a battle.

The reason for this is that it is the best choice caused by the engineering techniques and the scale of the war between the two warring parties.

The Art of War says: Before thinking about victory, first think about defeat.

Tens of thousands of horses and horses travel thousands of miles to meet the enemy and fight, and the victory cannot be determined unless it lasts for a long time.

If one side camps out, the other doesn't.

Once there is no winner in three or two days, and the side without a camp not only has to eat and sleep in the open, but also faces the harassment of the other side all the time, and the logistics cannot be stored, then the only way to fail is naturally.

Therefore, the two sides will start a war, and the first step in the contest is to set up camp.

There are also different standards for setting up camps. If it is an ordinary march, it is natural to set up fences and make some arrangements. This is a temporary camp.

If they stay for a long time, they need to cut down trees and build soil, which is almost like building a city. This is a long-term camp.

But now the defense system of both sides, which integrates camps and fortresses, and has both offense and defense, can no longer be called a camp, but a war camp composed of defense points everywhere.

The excavation and stacking of each camp is like chess players placing pieces on a chessboard.

It seems to be calm, but in fact, there are already swords and swords.

After seven or eight days like this, both sides set up camps, Zhang Shun and Hong Tai fought evenly, evenly matched.
