Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 361 Macro Strategy
After a long time.

Li Hetu recounted in detail the information about the four kings in the south of the Han River raising millions of soldiers. After Yue Fei heard it, he knelt down on the ground without saying a word, saying:

"The last general Yue Fei, I beg Your Majesty to allow you to carry back the Wei army and face the anti-king!"

"Fan Wang goes north, of course your Beiwei army will go up there, but how to fight requires a long-term plan!"

"I urgently announce you to come here. I want you to lead the troops to the Ministry of Military Industry, take away the weapons of the Beiwei Army, and assemble them immediately. When the Han River is frozen, it will be the day for your Beiwei Army to inspect the soldiers." !"

Zhao Yuankai said in a deep voice.

To be honest, Zhao Yuankai still has a question mark in his heart about the combat effectiveness of Yue Fei's Beiwei Army.

Therefore, Zhao Yuankai did not dare to put the Beiwei Army in the most important position on the macro-level strategic layout this time!
"Yue Aiqing, sit down first."

"My dear friends, based on the latest information, I have made a preliminary strategic plan!"

Zhao Yuan began to sit on the head of the discussion hall in the side hall of the Xuanshi Hall, without talking nonsense, and went straight to the point.

Yue Fei took his seat.

These people in front of them are destined to be military intelligence brains and tactical executors of the Imperial Army in the future!
"First of all, the anti-king raised millions of troops, and these millions are infantry troops. When the Han River is frozen a month later, they will take the opportunity to go north to invade Zhongzhou!"

"They don't know how to divide their forces into multiple groups, and they don't have the conditions to fight a protracted war of attrition. They have only one choice, which is to concentrate their superior forces in the shortest possible time, directly storm Zhongzhou, and surround Chang'an City!"

Zhao Yuankai knocked on the table and started first.

After listening to Li Hetu, he immediately nodded and said:
"I agree with Your Majesty. In addition, looking at the terrain and situation south of the Hanshui River, their best choice is to unite the two countries into one army. All the way from Jingzhou to the north!"

This analysis is basically Zhao Yuankai's view.

To mobilize millions of soldiers and horses in the entire Hannan territory within a month, only these two routes can be taken, which are strategically feasible!
Zhao Yuankai nodded, and then said:

"I'm sure they have a million infantry, divided into two groups, 50 each!"

"As for what I can mobilize now, there are [-] capital guards from Yuzhou Zhou Shili. Yuzhou is adjacent to Zhongzhou and across the water from Jingzhou, so we can quickly reinforce them."

"I am going to let Chen Qingzhi's 50 white-robed troops cross Zhongzhou directly, and join Zhou Shili's [-] capital guards to face the [-] anti-army infantry heading north from Jingzhou!"

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng frowned immediately, his face was quite worried, and said:
"Your Majesty, the combined strength of the White Robe Army and the Yuzhou Capital Guards is only 50 troops. Can this...can stop [-] rebels?"

"The white-robed army is fine, but the old minister is a little worried about Zhou Shili's 50 guards. This is a local army that has never fought a tough battle. I am afraid that after seeing [-] rebels coming, they will be timid to fight!" Li He Tu continued.

The former chief general of the dynasty has fought countless battles, so his views are naturally clear and sharp.

The question he said immediately aroused the approval of Yue Fei, who is also a famous general, and said in a deep voice:
"That's right, Your Majesty, soldiers who have never fought a tough battle are most afraid of being crushed by the enemy's troops! Let alone fighting, once they hear about 50 troops, the morale of the army may be lost!"

This is indeed true!

The reason why Zhao Zhangguang is so confident now and dares to be so arrogant is because of the four words of raising an army of one million!
This is not a simple addition, subtraction, and elimination problem.

An army of 50 is facing [-] soldiers and horses. Once the formation is opened and the momentum is compared, it is a matter of ebb and flow!
The morale of those with superior strength is greatly boosted, even if their individual combat power is not worth mentioning.

Those with inferior military strength will feel timid and turbulent. This is the deadliest situation on the battlefield!

How did the White Robe Army come out of training?
It was Chen Qingzhi who used the humiliation of their identity as an anti-military surrender to inspire fighting spirit and face Yuan Zhuo's 20 rebels!

In that battle, Chen Qingzhi calculated the command, tactics, and fighters, almost all of which were at the right time, place, and people!
In addition, this idiot Yuan Zhuo is too blind and arrogant, marching long distances without rest, among the 20 soldiers and horses, there are only [-] elite soldiers, and the rest are refugee troops!

It was also this battle that completely brought out the blood of the White Robe Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, so that in the next few battles, no matter how great the opponent's strength was, they would not be afraid!
Once the emperor is in front of the imperial formation, even if millions of troops rush forward, these [-] white-robed troops will still dare to rush forward with red eyes as soon as the order is issued!

"I have considered this issue, so this time, I will adopt a joint battle between the strong army and the weak!"

Zhao Yuankai frowned slightly and said.

"The White Robe Army is the most capable soldier under my Tianzi Division, and along the way, the troops have also become systematic!"

"The current white-robed army has 2000 heavy crossbowmen manipulating bed crossbows, more than [-] light cavalry equipped with good northern army horses, more than [-] crossbowmen and [-] infantry!"

"But this time, I want to remove the heavy crossbowmen, and give another 5000 god-armed crossbows, so that Chen Qingzhi can organize a [-] light crossbowmen!"

"After the alliance of the White Robe Army and the Yuzhou Duwei Army, Zhao Hetai and Zhao Wenbing's 50 coalition army will be facing the battle. It is considered a weak position, but the pressure is actually not great!"

"And my idea is to let the white-robed army use [-] light crossbowmen as the main offensive formation, and [-] cavalry as the vanguard. This is necessary to boost morale, and the anti-army infantry formation will be chaotic!!"

Eighty thousand soldiers and horses against fifty armies sounds like a battle without any suspense.

But after listening to Zhao Yuankai's layout, the ministers present breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were shocked and terrified!
"Your Majesty is talking about the god arm crossbow? It is a terrifying weapon that can pierce armor with a single arrow within a thousand steps. If it can hold [-] troops, the first time it meets them, it may completely defeat the front line of the rebel army." Crash!"

Li Hetu took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice.

He had seen the power of the God Arm Crossbow at Hukou Pass. Although it was not as terrifying as the giant bed crossbow, once the two points of thousand-step range and single-soldier operation were combined, and then equipped with [-] troops, the power would not be weak at all. Hundreds of giant bed crossbows!
You know, the archers of the infantry south of the Han River can effectively kill only a hundred steps at most!

"That's right, the army's fight is long-range consumption, then supplemented by cavalry attacks, and finally the infantry pushes horizontally!"

Zhao Yuan nodded, and then said:
"Let's talk about Zhao Zhangguang's journey. Yizhou is adjacent to Xixia, and Jiaozhou is adjacent to Nanman. They are all vassal kingdoms guarding the border. Their soldiers are stronger, but they are still infantry!"

"To deal with the rebellion, I will use Yue Aiqing's [-] Beiwei army, Huo Qubing's tiger and leopard cavalry, and the [-] Hudun cavalry he subdued!"
