Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 575

Unexpectedly, Cai Wenjing did not turn around and encircled Yuguan with Shi Chaoyi, but chose to continue northward and attack the base camp of Pinglu Town, Yingzhou City. This war also went out of the player's plan.

In the meeting hall in Yuguan, Yu Chixin and his generals, as well as the staff from the staff office in Shazhou, held a remote joint meeting.

Zhang Guangde, with a fiery temper, was the first to bombard: "The battle plan was designated by your staff, right? You also put forward the eight-character policy of 'stick to Yuguan, and wait for the enemy to break itself'. How is it now? The enemy is going straight north!"

Zhang Guangde fired for a while, making those staff members who participated in the formulation of the big roundabout strategic plan unable to hold their heads up. The first half of the whole plan was indeed the same as the players' design, but why did the second half change?

Now Shi Chaoyi's [-] troops are stationed in the south of Yuguan, and he sends out small groups of troops every day to test the defenders in Yuguan.

Cai Wenjing went directly to destroy Pinglu, and now the players can't advance or retreat.

If we go north to pursue Cai Wenjing, it will be regarded as catching up with Cai Wenjing and destroying Cai Wenjing's troops. Then we must use most of our troops. Yuguan will be recaptured by Shi Chaoyi, and the war will return to the state at the beginning. Then rent a ship to refit the troops. It's a waste of time.

If you don't go north to pursue Cai Wenjing and stay to confront Shi Chaoyi, then after Cai Wenjing occupies Yingzhou and takes control of Pinglu Town, he can fight against the players, and the big detour strategy is also hindered.

The more Zhang Guangde said, the more unpleasant it sounded, Xu Jun coughed and said: "The fact is already like this, this time the battle plan was my mistake, I apologize on behalf of the staff office!"

Hearing what Xu Jun said, Zhang Guangde shut up.

Before the meeting, the staff office had already conducted a review. After all, few players were from formal military backgrounds, and even if they were soldiers, there were very few full-time staff officers.

The battle plan was not thorough, and the strategic judgment of these indigenous generals was underestimated. Cai Wenjing, whose name was only recorded a few times in the history books, turned out to be such a difficult character.

For the Yuguan players, it is difficult to break the game, but for Cai Wenjing, it is to die and survive.

If Yingzhou City cannot be attacked for a long time, Cai Wenjing, a lone army, will be trapped to death.

If Tang Jun gave up guarding Yuguan and tried his best to wipe out Cai Wenjing, then Cai Wenjing's troops would not be spared.

This Cai Wenjing is tantamount to using his own life to forcibly trade with the player. Such a fierce style of play is also unexpected by the player.

Xu Jun said: "I asked about Tongliao City. The players staying in Tongliao City and the Khitan people we recruited can make up an army of 2000 people. Yuchi, do you think you can solve the siege of Yingzhou?"

Yu Chixin shook his head and said: "No, Tongliao can't gather so many troops in a hurry, and it will take three days to march day and night from Yingzhou in Tongliao. With the slack defense of Yingzhou city, it would be good to hold it for two days. "

Hearing Yu Chixin's pessimistic analysis, all the soldiers attending the meeting were a little downcast. They finally implemented the big detour strategy here, but fell into a predicament just like this.

Yu Chixin cleared his throat and said, "It's still that we haven't won the hearts of the north. If we can get all the hearts of the north, we don't have to worry about the bandits occupying Yingzhou City."

Xu Jun nodded. When the staff made plans, they all analyzed according to the strategy of our army entering the Northeast. Drive straight into the Northeast and develop slowly.

But the current situation is that Pinglu used to be the place where An Lushan made his fortune, and the residents of Han and Hu are tough and dissatisfied with the regime in the Central Plains. Shi Siming is An Lushan's deputy and has a high prestige in Pinglu Town. Cai Wenjing's occupation of Yingzhou will surely cause the entire Pinglu to defect quickly. At that time, the defenders of Yuguan are really under attack.

Yu Chixin stood up and looked at the map and said: "We took Yuguan with great difficulty, and we must defend it! If we let it out, the next time the enemy will be on guard against the enemy from the sea, then we must pay a greater price. Only the price can be taken!"

"It may be too late for Yingzhou City. We still have to send troops to the north. We can deal with Cai Wenjing's department and prevent him from integrating the resources of Pinglu Town. When the reinforcements from Tongliao City arrive, we can take back Yingzhou City."

Yu Chixin's strategy seemed to be the best of both worlds, but after he said it, everyone was silent.

The best of both worlds means that both sides are not happy. Now there are [-] players in Yuguan and [-] Bohai mercenaries. The quality of the Bohai army is far inferior to that of the players. It is just right to defend Yuguan. Where is there any extra troops? North and Cai Wenjing's [-] troops Deal with it.

Yu Chixin asked Zhang Guangde: "Old Zhang, can your gunboat reach Shi Chaoyi's barracks?"

Zhang Guangde said: "Shi Chaoyi probably got the news of the deserters from Yuguan, so he set up his camp near the coast. But his camp is too big, there are always a few places that can be shot."

Yu Chixin looked at the map and said: "Shi Chaoyi's army is 2 people, and there are tens of thousands of civilians. They must need a supply line. Use gunboats as cover fire to escort landing craft around Shi Chaoyi's camp to intercept his supply line. It's not that we want to fight a protracted war with us. How can you fight a protracted war without food for your army!"

Then Yu Chixin said: "I want to take away two thousand player troops and four cannons. I need everyone to stand firm at Yuguan for fifteen days. Can it be done?"

After everyone hesitated, Yu Chixin patted Zhang Guangde on the shoulder and said unexpectedly: "Old Zhang, I will leave Yuguan to you."

[Player Zhang Guangde has obtained command authority on the Yuguan battlefield! 】

[Player Zhang Guangde has obtained the permission to broadcast on the battlefield! 】

The staff fell silent. As a frontline general, when the battlefield changes, it is the power of the frontline commander to adapt to the situation.

The staff department was bombarded by Zhang Guangde just now because of a wrong prediction, and no one dared to express their opinions at this time.

Yu Chixin was also vigorous and resolute, and he quickly recruited two thousand players. These were the elite players, and they were jokingly called cavalry and heavy armored infantry in the forum.

Facts have proved that riding is still a matter of talent, and the largest cavalry unit in the player group is still the Tianshan Army inherited from Cao Lingzhong.

Combat on horseback requires a series of skills such as [riding], [archery], and [pole weapons] to reach the "proficient level". A pure cavalry unit is too extravagant.

Therefore, Yu Chixin adopted a more lazy method, allowing players to wear heavy armor and train infantry tactics, but ride horses when marching or raiding.

In other words, the elite troops of these two thousand players are heavy armored infantry on horseback.

The advantage is that the infantry is easy to train. As long as the weapons are equipped and the team cooperates well, they can form combat effectiveness.

Riding horses can reduce physical exertion and increase the marching speed and mobility of troops, which can be said to make up for the shortcomings in the mobility of heavy armored infantry.

Yu Chixin led the troops to set off, and Xu Jun finally sorted out the battle report and sent it to King Yue.

Li Mi, who was assisting Li Tan in handling government affairs, saw the battle report and quickly handed it over to Li Tan.

Li Mi knew that Longyou had a technology that could transmit messages thousands of miles instantly, but he didn't know how it was realized.

Even if it's Feige passing the letter, it's impossible to be so fast?
Li Mi was originally a cultivator, and he even believed that Li Tan received the treasures bestowed by the heavens in order to receive messages thousands of miles away in real time.

At the beginning, Li Bi was still amazed, but now he is no longer surprised.

Xu Jun was a little nervous. He thought that the staff department would be judged to lower the evaluation. Then when the roundabout strategy was settled in the future, the rewards for the brothers would be discounted. Thinking of this, Xu Jun even wanted to ask for mercy.

Unexpectedly, Li Tan just said: "The historians and their sons are not incompetent people, and they also have a lot of talents. We can think that Pinglu is important, how can they not think of it? Fortunately, no serious consequences have been caused, and the strategy is only temporarily hindered."

"According to Yu Chixin's statement, speed up the delivery of troops and supplies from Modong Grassland to Tongliao City."

"Yes! Your Highness!"

After Xu Jun stepped back with a sigh of relief, Li Mi said with a smile: "By using both kindness and power, Your Highness has improved in the art of controlling people."

Li Tan smiled slightly, there is no such thing as the art of controlling people, it's just a task reward.
