Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 117
Fan Zhuoyuan came to Yuan Dadu and asked to meet the emperor in the early morning pilgrimage.

But he was directly rejected. After the Ministry of War ordered him to take orders, he was on standby in Dadu, waiting for the army stationed in Japan to return to the Central Plains before heading south.

Fan Zhuoyuan didn't expect that the emperor would not give him the chance to enter the court, so he had to go to the prime minister's mansion first to look for Boyan.

Boyan received Fan Zhuoyuan very readily, but the first thing he said was accusation.

"Your Majesty ordered you to exterminate Mingjiao and deal with martial arts bandits, but you have made no achievements in the past two years, and His Majesty has been very disappointed, so he does not want to see you.

By the way, didn't you say that you have found the Dragon Slaying Knife, what about the knife? "

Fan Zhuoyuan was silent for a moment, and said bluntly: "The affairs of the rivers and lakes are nothing but small ways. Naturally, it is impossible to carry the Dragon Slaying Knife with you. You have something else to hide. If your majesty needs it, you can present it at any time. However, if your majesty wants to attack Annan, it is a military matter.

I once wrote to the court, suggesting that there is no need to mobilize the Japanese army of [-]. After all, the entire army has just been reunited with their families and has completed the initial settlement in Japan.

If they were suddenly transferred back to the middle land at this time, I am afraid that the morale will be shaken, the army's morale will be unstable, and it will be difficult to attack. "

Boyan knew soldiers quite well, of course he knew that what Fan Zhuoyuan said was the most reasonable, but this matter was originally the emperor's intention to consume the Southern Army's combat power, no matter how stupid the move was, it had to be carried out.

"The court has made a decision on this matter, and it is useless for you to raise any opinions."

Fan Zhuoyuan's complexion changed, and he said loudly: "Just send one thousand soldiers back to the Middle Earth. With one thousand elite soldiers as the backbone, I can assemble an army of fifty thousand in one and a half years. The soldiers can be selected from the northern soldiers or Can be picked from the Confederate Army.

Attacking Annan with an army of [-] troops cost little money, food, and wages, and Fan Mou could issue a military order to destroy Annan, capture the chieftain and enter the capital. Why did the court not agree! "

Boyan looked at Fan Zhuoyuan for a long time, and said in a cold tone: "You are a general from the south, how can you believe in a [-] army to make the South safe? What a joke! Do you know how many troops the imperial court used before?
50!Do you know how many troops Annan has? 30!And the army and the people are integrated!It should be said, how dare you speak nonsense!Do you really think there is no one in the court? "

Boyan asked repeatedly, but Fan Zhuoyuan was unmoved.

He said indifferently: "Attacking Annan with an army of 50 is the most stupid move. If there are people in the court, hmph, how can the court let me, a general from the south, be in command?"

Boyan's expression changed drastically, "General Fan, the center is not where you can act arrogantly."

Fan Zhuoyuan didn't want to sit anymore, and Boyan's attitude was enough to see the emperor's true thoughts.

The four times he thought of attacking Annan was not aimed at destroying the country at all, but aimed at destroying the elite of the southern army.

It seems that 50 troops conquered Annan, sent 30 troops after the defeat, and finally returned to China with only [-] troops. This incident has had a great impact on the Northern Army, and may even affect the balance between the North and the South. .

If so, then what else do you have to be afraid of.

He got up and said: "Prime Minister, Fan cannot meet His Majesty, but he has already brought his idea. He has already taught His Majesty the method of using troops, but I don't know if he was intercepted by the villain.

There is also an article written by Xinyu here, the prime minister can take a close look at it, and hand it over to His Majesty for Fan. If the prime minister is not willing, and Fan has nothing to do, then he can stand by at the Ministry of War. "

After finishing speaking, he left a letter of over [-] words on the strategy of conquering Annan on the table, ignored Boyan's face, and left angrily.

Boyan sneered, took the military strategy left by Fan Zhuoyuan, but watched it seriously.

There are not only texts on it, but also Annan's map, as well as the main military points and routes.

Fan Zhuoyuan described in a very detailed way how to select troops, how to train troops, how to enter troops, how to fight, how to guarantee logistics, and how to use both military and government to defuse the enemy's will to fight, and at the same time, how to ensure non-combat reduction and subsequent They immigrated to the farmland, and even briefly stated that the time for the battle was scheduled for autumn and winter, which was when Vietnam's grain was ripe, because the grain was in the enemy's hands.

At the same time, it explained the fighting methods of Annan's army and people, as well as their weaknesses, which are generally the same as those described in the military newspapers that failed in the previous battles.

The overall combat effectiveness of Annan's army is not strong, and the strongest unit is the elephant soldier. However, the elephant soldier has never been difficult to defeat. From Tang to Ming Dynasty, there are many ways to defeat the elephant soldier for reference.

The only thing is that Annan's soldiers have a very tenacious fighting will. In the event of a strong massacre, they will hide in the jungle and mountains to fight guerrillas, which is very difficult to defend.

But in the occupied areas, the thumbs of the people's feet are widely chopped off, which is cross-toed. If there are no two fingers on the feet, it will be difficult to climb mountains and mountains, and they can only obey orders to farm.Compared with the threat of massacre at every turn, this method is cruel, but it does not kill, which is enough to give the local soldiers and civilians the hope of exchanging lives, thus disintegrating the enemy's will to fight to a certain extent.

In terms of the overall strategy, because Vietnam's land presents a long-strip pattern along the coast, troops were sent from Dali and Guangxi to oppress and make its main force go north for defense.

In a decisive frontal battle, [-] elite soldiers are enough to defeat hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Then let the navy set out from Qiongzhou to harass the coast continuously. When the time is right, the navy will land ashore. Because of the narrow and long terrain of Annan, it can easily cut off its retreat and prevent its main force from fleeing to Champa.

If the enemy does not engage in a decisive battle, they will march extensively to occupy the main grain-producing areas of the Red River Delta Plain and the Mekong River Plain, and move the people of Guangdong, Guangxi, Minyue and Guangdong to garrison their fields and build forts to train troops.

The enemy army can only wait in the mountains and forests for the arrival of the summer heat. At this time, it is necessary to recruit doctors from the army to prevent heatstroke with medicine.

If the enemy army takes advantage of the situation to harvest grain and grass, they would rather destroy the grain than fight the enemy.In autumn and winter, the strategy of counterattack, encirclement and suppression will be carried out again.

This kind of war will take at most three years. With the current national strength of Annan, it will be difficult to fight for a long time under the condition of long-term food shortage.

The latter also includes how to govern after the occupation of Annan, how to naturalize its people, and how to carry out class divisions so that internal conflicts overshadow external conflicts.

The more Boyan watched, the more startled he became. The more he watched, the more he felt that Fan Zhuoyuan's strategy was very effective. It seemed that Fan Zhuoyuan's understanding of Annan was the deepest in the entire court.

The above method of using troops seems to hit Annan's weakness with every move. If this method is really implemented, there is indeed a lot to be done to destroy Annan.

He put away this military strategy, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity, you are the Southern General, if not..."

After Fan Zhuoyuan left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he turned on the system and chose the mission without hesitation!
"Mission [-] has been accepted: Dragon Slaying!

The rest of the tasks are all cancelled, and cannot be reversed. After the task is successful, the karma will be rewarded with the remaining life of the emperor, and the Shattering Void can be activated at any time to enter the next world. "

In the evening, Fan Zhuoyuan didn't eat very much, so he came to a wonton stand on the side of the street with the Tulong Dao on his back, and ordered a bowl of wontons.

Behind him sat a nun and an unkempt Taoist priest.
