Twenty miles west of Baihe City.
The frontier army of the Privy Council finally changed its initial division
into several routes and began to gather in one place. At the same time, the
Leizhou Army, who had finally passed through Lichuan, finally merged with the
frontier army, making this army return to about 50,000 people at once, almost
no less than the main force of the Chinese army.
Their plan is also very clear on the big map, that is, to concentrate all
their forces, abandon the surrounding towns, and want to take White River City
in one fell swoop.
The Chinese army still had no response to this, still advancing towards Jinxia
on its own, without any intention of leaving the area of Jiujiang.
If at this time 60,000 people from the Chinese army also double-teamed towards
Baihe City, the pressure would become very great for Ning Wanjun. He would
face 110,000 people at once, and the army would not be able to supply
ammunition. Unless it is based on the city, it will be difficult to continue.
However, according to Xia Fan's intention, he couldn't fight a city defense
anyway, and even if he gave up White River City, he couldn't lose his mobile
advantage.
Once besieged in the city by the Privy Council, the disadvantages of more than
7,000 left army troops will be exposed.
Now that the Central Route Army turned a deaf ear to the actions of the
frontier troops, it obviously gave Ning Wanjun a rare opportunity.
"The opportunity to completely disintegrate the enemy's left wing is now." In
the commanding tent, Princess Guangping slapped her palm on the table and said
categorically.
After fighting for seven or eight days in a row, the armor on her body was
hardly taken off, the hair that fell on her forehead was a bit less soft, not
to mention, her long eyelashes were stuck together by sweat. However, compared
to the woman sitting in front of the desk in a loose robe, the three
princesses now exude a breathtaking charm.
"The Central Route Army does not respond now, it does not mean that it will be
the same in the future. It is only three days from Jiujiang to here. Once the
Privy Council changes its attention, it may still threaten Baihe City... or
even worse."
What Ning Wanjun said is even worse. It is not difficult to understand that if
the Chinese army advances for a hundred miles or so and then turns back, then
this 60,000-strong army will have the opportunity to block the retreat of the
Jinxia Leftist Army and connect them and the Jin Xia army behind. Xiacheng
came across.
"But as long as we can defeat the frontier army of the Privy Council before
the opponent breaks, even if the enemy's main force returns, there will be no
more threat. It can be said that the entire southwestern part of Shenzhou will
become our free and unimpeded passage."
If half a year ago, anyone proposed a plan for annihilating an army of 50,000
with a force of 7,000 people, it would definitely provoke a shock. But now
that after several wars, the enemy has changed several handfuls, and Jinxia
City has not been defeated. Greatly strengthened the confidence of the army
and the staff.
Facing an enemy seven times as large as one's own, it is not easy to win, but
it is far from impossible.
After Ning Wanjun finished speaking, no one raised objections, which meant
that everyone agreed that the complete defeat of the left wing of the Privy
Council was the latest combat goal.
"You can allow General Xu's right-wing army to temporarily shrink, and gather
as many of the aspired troops to the left as possible."
"Can you send a surprise soldier on the right to cross Jiujiang from the west
and cooperate with us to double-team this enemy army?"
"It's too difficult. The Privy Council has guard posts on the edge of
Jiujiang. The transfer of more than one thousand people is too easy to be
exposed, and if it is blocked, it will be more fortunate."
For a while, everyone was talking about it.
"His Royal Highness, everyone..." He Guicai found an opportunity to speak, "I
want to remind that, if possible, it is best to focus on capture in this
battle, so as not to shake the foundation of Jinxia's governance."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help being embarrassed.
Not only has to win more with less, but also minimize enemy casualties. This
goal is really tricky.
But Staff He's words were not without purpose.
Among the enemy forces that are gathering, there is a force of 20,000 from
Shenzhou.
They were the local garrisons who were transferred to Ganzhou a year ago, but
they did not expect that when the snow period was over and they could finally
return to their homeland, Shenzhou had already changed owners.
However, it is undeniable that the vast majority of the soldiers in this team
are locals, not only from the two big cities of Baihe and Anshen, but also
from other towns and villages. Many families are still looking forward to the
return of the man in the family. If there are too many casualties, it will
inevitably seriously damage the image that the bureau has finally established.
In case it is used and incited by someone who is interested, it is not an
exaggeration to say that it is shaking the foundation.
"I have an idea." Xia Fan said suddenly. With the maturity of the Jinxia army
and the staff, he rarely needs to make suggestions, but as the core figure in
the ruling team, the princess will invite him to participate in the meeting
whenever he is free.
"What is it?" Ning Wanjun asked immediately.
"Heart attack." He said as he pondered, "Jin Xia keeps winning, and the
frontier army's fighting spirit shouldn't be too high. Especially the Shenzhou
army, for some people, their home is dozens of miles in front of them.
Compared with dying on the battlefield, it must be a more temptation to go
home safely."
"Master Xia wants to persuade you to surrender?" He Guicai thoughtfully, "This
is the truth, but if 20,000 people are to turn collectively, it is difficult
to do without internal response and linkage. Besides, 20,000 people are only
part of the left wing, the main force It is still the Golden State Army. Once
a team in the Shenzhou Army shows signs of defection, it will inevitably be
suppressed by the former."
"The key lies in the means." Xia Fan knows that there is basically no research
on psychological warfare in this era. Due to technical limitations,
communication is mostly point-to-point rather than point-to-face, making it
difficult for the mind-attack means to have an impact in the entire army. But
as long as you know the means, you can find a way to get around technical
obstacles. "First is the airdrop of flyers. You can start now."
"airdrop?"
"Yes, a lot of leaflets are printed and scattered directly from the sky. The
content is as short as possible, and sentences that evoke nostalgia. It
doesn't matter if most people don't understand. As long as there are a few
literate people, you can put them on paper. Content spread."
This move is similar to using arrows tied with a letter to persuade surrender
to shoot into the camp, but the flying book is only for generals, and the
flyer is for all Shenzhou soldiers~www.mtlnovel.com~ It is difficult to
prevent generals who lack relevant experience. .
What's more, many leaders in the Shenzhou Army are also of local origin.
"After the airdrop, the Golden State Army will inevitably take precautions.
For example, it may encircle the Shenzhou troops when they set up camp to
prevent them from routing or screaming." Xia Fan continued, "So the night
battle is inconvenient for Jinxia to achieve its goal and really start. When
fighting, it’s best to choose the opponent’s marching road."
"Because at that time the state forces will be separated." Ning Wanjun's eyes
lit up.
"Not bad." Xia Fan nodded with a smile, "They can separate the inside and
outside when they camp, but they can't do that when they march." The opponent
seems to be an army, but in fact all soldiers can only follow their generals.
, The squadron and the chief, the chief and the uncle, even the troops in the
same state, the generals are relatively independent, it is impossible to mix
together, and it is impossible to uniformly follow a set of instructions to
act. For the old-style army, trying to command other's troops is itself a
great taboo.
Once transferred to the march, Shenzhou can only have two states-either
forward or Oshio.
"Then we can split this army into two as long as we hit it!" Ning Wanjun said
along this line of thought.
"What if we fail to attack the heart? Our move is tantamount to putting
ourselves into danger." Qiuyue showed a worried expression, "After all, we
will only have 7,000 people in the end."
At that time, 7,000 people will be surrounded by 50,000 people.
"So you have to wait until the other party is sure that they have rebelled
before you can do this."
"How to be sure?" He Guicai asked curiously. With neither internal response
nor prior connection, it is difficult for generals to respond to each other,
let alone the "Jinxia enemy army".
Xia Fan slowly said his answer, "Just use one song."
The point is not what song to sing, but who will sing it.
