Chapter 716 Planning the first battle
Time is indeed very urgent. The Northwest Army's army had captured Bingzhou. Bingzhou was lost and Guanzhong lost its defensive barrier. Song Naifeng's military front pointed at him and there was no obstacle to going thousands of miles south.
For Lu Zheng, he only had 60,000 Southern Prefecture Army, and only 30,000 cavalry among the 60,000 troops. The individual quality and battlefield quality of the Southern Prefecture Army are not on the same level as the Northwest Army. Although Liu Song's Southern Prefecture Army has experienced the baptism of war, it is only a new recruit who has been newly formed for two years.
Most of the soldiers of the Northwest Army are old soldiers of more than five years old, and the Northwest is a nomadic land. Most of the people were good at riding and shooting before joining the army. Song Naifeng's 100,000 cavalry, under ordinary circumstances, the court needed to send 300,000 troops to fight against them. How could Lu Zheng's 60,000 people stop him?
Therefore, although Lu Zheng used various means to increase the morale of the army and increase the combat power in the army in a short period of time, such improvement could not turn the situation around.
In the conference hall, Lu Zheng sat high above the commander's position, and the pioneer general Liu Song sat next to him. The remaining seats were ten generals. These ten people each led a battalion of troops, which was equivalent to Lu Zheng dividing the army into ten.
Such weaving is completely new in Dakang. Lu Zheng did this to consider reorganization as soon as possible. More importantly, Lu Zheng thought of an independent strategy to deal with Song Naifeng next to serve his strategy.
Lu Zheng and Song Naifeng faced each other, and the strength of the two sides was very different, and they were head-on. The two sides were not on the same level in the field. According to Lu Zheng's judgment and deduction, the 30,000 cavalry of the Southern Army can fight up to 10,000 elite cavalry of the Northwest Army, which means that the combat power of the two sides is three times different. Lu Zheng has a total of 60,000 soldiers. According to this ratio, Lu Zheng can only fight against the opponent's 20,000 soldiers. Undoubtedly, according to the normal fighting style, Lu Zheng will definitely not be able to win this battle.
After thinking about it, Lu Zheng summed up and couldn't help but think of the great military strategists in the Republic's war a thousand years later. You fight yours, I fight mine, you advance and I retreat, you stay and I disturb you.
Game war is an idea, and sports war is also an idea. The so-called sports war is to mobilize opponents and let the opponent's troops distance each other. Once the distance is widened, there will be a weak relief. Lu Zheng takes advantage of the weak relief and attacks decisively, annihilates the opponent in the movement, and in the local range, let his own side's combat power be at an absolute advantage, thereby accumulating small victories to big victory, and ultimately laying the foundation for victory.
Lu Zheng's idea is very good, but it is very difficult to implement it. First of all, the problem he faces is that he cannot explain these ideas clearly. Almost all the generals under Liu Song are born in a rough and rude way. Liu Song chose to choose loyal and brave to fight. How can he know much about military strategy?
So, after Lu Zheng arrived in Miaocheng, he drove the ducks to the shelves. Fortunately, Lu Zheng had a boy around him. The boy ran the most powerful intelligence agency in Dakang. The accumulation of Xuan Jingshi over the years has given Lu Zheng an advantage that no one in the world can compare with, that is, Lu Zheng also has the most perfect intelligence network in the world.
Even in the opponent's army, there was a lurker from Xuan Jingsi. When the boy released all his energy, Lu Zheng could fully grasp Song Naifeng's every move!
Lu Zheng wants to fight, and the core is to fight an intelligence war. With first-hand intelligence information, Lu Zheng can present the latest sand table map of the military deployment of both sides in today's discussion.
Lu Zheng pointed to the sand table map and said, "Everyone, you have seen it. This is the strength of the opponent at present! Song Naifeng is not only my fierce general, but he is determined to win this time! He is only preparing to rest for five days in Bingzhou, and then he quickly goes south!
Now, they have already set off! Their pioneers will arrive in our Miaocheng tomorrow. Brothers, how can we fight this battle?"
Lu Zheng said this, the room was silent, looking at me one by one, and I looked at you, and no one could speak. Kuang Liangguo was a straight man and muttered directly: "This battle cannot be fought. The strength of our two sides is too different, so there is no possibility of winning!"
Everyone agreed with Kuang Liangguo's statement. Indeed, he expressed everyone's feelings. Ran Qiubo yelled, and he put his helmet on the table and said, "Damn it, I'm really cowardly. I have never been very supportive of the Northwest Army. I always wanted to fight well. Now, the old boy Song Naifeng relied on the large crowds and rushed towards the south. What should we do? We can only sit and wait for death!"
Liu Song couldn't bear to listen anymore. He slapped the table with his hand and said angrily: "Damn it, let's say less nonsense! In this world, if the war between the two sides is just more than the number of troops, what else should they do? Let's just compare people!"
Liu Song sneered and said, "We have a population of tens of millions in Jiangnan, and there are only a few people in Longyou? If we compare people, they will definitely lose. Is Song Naifeng the turn to be so arrogant and domineering today and stare at him?"
Liu Song was angry and the whole audience immediately calmed down. Although everyone was still suspicious, they finally stopped the scene. Lu Zheng took over the conversation and said, "Liu Song is right. Song Naifeng is indeed powerful, but as the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Today we went from the south to the vicinity of Miaocheng, and in this area, we must fight a battle, not only to fight, but also to win the first battle!"
Lu Zheng punched the table in front of him with a fierce punch, pointed at the sand table and said, "You all think about it. Song Naifeng's troops were arranged by the vanguard leading 30,000 troops and marching quickly. He had arrived in Miaocheng. This vanguard was not easy to mess with. Even if we suppressed all the assets, we could not stop them!"
Lu Zheng paused, turned his mind, and pointed to the back with his fingers: "There are 70,000 troops behind the vanguard, and the 70,000 troops are a little interesting! In order to speed up the marching, Song Naifeng let these troops march in three ways, walking along the Qishan Mountain, walking along the Jinshui Road, and walking along the Guannei Road! Among these three armies, it takes at least two days to communicate with each other, and there are four or five waterways between Jinshui and Qishan! Look, are they arrogant soldiers? If we spare the vanguard and attack directly behind, we will take the vanguard from the three armies. Hehe, tell me, how can we fight this battle?"
Lu Zheng talked freely, and he said the entire battle situation and the formation of troops on both sides, which immediately aroused everyone's interest. The other party's extremely powerful formation had already scared all the soldiers present, but Lu Zheng's understatement of the analysis made them discover a huge opportunity!
Ran Qiubo is good at fighting horses, and is the most warlike, and has a strong combat power. He can almost rely on his military achievements to join the army! It is no exaggeration to say that this kid is a madman. Once there is a war, he will go crazy. Such a person is actually a genius born for the battlefield.
He slapped the table and said, "Okay, okay, General's analysis, I feel that Song Naifeng is simply nonsense! Their march can be said to be full of loopholes!
There is nothing to say. We entered the palace Jinshui along the way, and there were only more than 20,000 people. We attacked with all our strength, attacked them unpreparedly, and took the opportunity to clean up the road. Hehe, give them a warning!"
Xiao Ran's statement immediately resonated with many people, and everyone started to chatter. Lu Zheng and everyone's speech was almost done. They cleared their throats and said to Li Xiu, who had not spoken much, "Li Xiu, why don't you speak? Tell me what you think?"
Li Xiu said: "The Zhou army is actually the Northwest Army. It has more than 20,000 troops. Even if we 60,000 of us take action together, we may not be able to defeat them in a moment. Once our battle situation is anxious, the vanguard army of Chuanshanyue can immediately fight back and our butts will be attacked, and we will definitely be defeated!"
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, General Li is very careful. We can't win the Zhou Bing this way. Even if we can win, it will be a tragic victory! Brothers must remember that once the war is opened, the map will not be so still. Wherever there is a war, there will inevitably be rescue. If our tens of thousands of people are entangled by our opponents, we can be entangled in minutes. So we can only fight one way, and if we can't win one way, I can only pick a certain part of the way!"
Everyone said that Lu Zheng's analysis was true. Everyone was even more convinced of Lu Zheng. The so-called expert knew if there was any. Kuang Liangguo immediately said, "General, don't keep it in hiding. We all know that you have been confident. You will give everyone an order, let's ask us to do it, let's do it, brothers, are you talking about what I said?"
"Coax!" Everyone laughed together, and the atmosphere was immediately motivated. Lu Zheng smiled and said, "You guys can wear a tall hat!"
Lu Zheng paused and pointed his hand at Qishan all the way: "This army was led by Qi Biao, and Qi Biao's surname was Qi. Do you know his identity?
Longyou was originally not the world of the Song family, but shared by the Song family and the Qi family. Later, because the Song family became too powerful, the Qi family became weak! Therefore, there was not a unity between Qi Biao and the Song family!
This time, the 20,000 troops led by Qi Biao were walking in front of him, which was his direct line. There were still 5,000 people dragging behind him, and the distance from the front was more than fifty miles away! I guess that in another day, the distance between the two sides would be further widened!
Hehe, those who are interested can see that Song Naifeng does not believe in the Qi family, and he uses the five thousand men to look at the Qi family's soldiers again! That happens, our goal this time is to be fixed on these five thousand people! All our 30,000 elite cavalry were dispatched, and 30,000 were used against five thousand people. In this battle, we will not only win, but also win big!"
When Lu Zheng said this, a terrifying light burst out in his eyes, which could be said to be a murderous intent! Everyone's hair stood up because of Lu Zheng's sudden force. Everyone present had fought wars. They could quickly understand what the enemy Lu Zheng chose!
