Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 269 Pockets
"Logistics, logistics, the commander is the logistics!" Cao Guogong shouted!

Zhu Qi suddenly had an idea in his mind and murmured to himself: "Logistics, cattle and sheep, heavy snow! Haha! That's it."

Xu Da's eyes flickered, and he obviously understood the key.Only Chang Yuchun seemed a little confused!
Zhu Qi: "What Duke Cao Guo said is right. Even if Temujin confuses us, he has no choice but to do it. The Yuan Empire took advantage of His Majesty's seclusion to raise troops, obviously hoping to catch the empire off guard."

"But it's winter at this time, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. People can support it, but cattle and sheep can't."

"The Great Yuan Empire is moving in full force this time, with a large number of people, and it is facing a problem that both we and the Great Yuan Empire have ignored, logistics!"

"The attack by the prairie cavalry is not without logistics. This logistics is the green grass everywhere and the cattle and sheep following the army."

"Hehe! The Dayuan Empire has never organized such a large army since its founding. It is not surprising that there are logistical accidents."

Li Wenzhong smiled and said: "Commander, I'm afraid the Yuan Empire didn't expect that the consumption of food and grass would be so terrible when it sends troops in winter, right?"

Xu Dadao: "It's probably not that Temujin didn't expect it, but that the Yuan Empire ran out of time. Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor are in seclusion, and the empire is leaderless. This opportunity is rare!"

Zhu Qi smiled and said: "What Duke Wei Guo said makes sense!"

"However, although we have eliminated the weaknesses of the Great Yuan Empire, we still cannot underestimate the Great Yuan Empire in the slightest."

Xu Da cupped his hands and said: "Commander, since ancient times, fierce battles between military strategists are nothing more than the harmony of good and evil. I thought that in addition to maintaining a frontal assault, the Dayuan Empire would also send elite troops to raid these cities."

As he spoke, Xu Da pointed to the small towns along the border defense line.

Zhu Qi frowned slightly and said, "Tell me more specifically!"

Xu Da: "These small cities all have one thing in common. They are too far away from the big city on the defense line to form an angle with the surrounding cities. Although there are some hills and highlands behind the city, for the cavalry, it is flat."

"Although the empire has some arrangements in these places, if the troops and horses attacking the city are replaced by the elites of the Yuan Empire, it may be difficult to hold on to these places."

Zhu Qi nodded and said: "The border defense line is long. It is impossible for the empire to take care of everything! Will it be lost if we defend it for a long time? It seems that we still have to do something."

Xu Da: "The commander-in-chief wants to arrange an ambush with soldiers and horses here in advance."

Zhu Qi nodded, shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, the art of war has said that the right time, the right place, and the right people. Now that it is cold and the ground is freezing, I defend him and attack him, which can be said to be the right time!"

"Here, here..." Zhu Qi pointed to the city defense line on the sand table and said: "This is a good location!"

Xu Da and Li Wenzhong's eyes widened. After a moment, it was Li Wenzhong who asked: "Commander, is this location a bit favorable...!"

Zhu Qi chuckled and said: "Who told you that the geographical advantage is just the mountains and rivers. This time I used the city as the mountain, the camp as the river, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and trapped the Yuan Empire between the two lines of defense."

Xu Da tasted the three flavors at this time: "The commander-in-chief's plan is excellent. Because the border city must guard against the southward movement of the grassland, it is built extremely tall and strong. There is nothing wrong with using the strong city as a mountain to divide the inside and outside."

"With water flowing in all directions, camps can also be erected according to the current, forming horns with the city to guard key areas."

"As long as the army is properly prepared, it is not difficult to lead the Yuan Empire into an encirclement. The difficult thing is how to prevent the Yuan Empire from counterattack."

Zhu Qi nodded and said: "What Duke Wei said is true! However, this battle is not a battle to destroy the country, nor is it an act of annihilation. The purpose of the empire is just to defeat the enemy."

"Morale is the most important thing in an army campaign. Once the main army of the Yuan Empire enters the encirclement, the morale will be reduced by three points. The most important thing is that the Yuan Empire sends troops this time. The elite army of the Yuan Empire is mixed with the young and strong tribes. Once these People understand that being surrounded will inevitably lead to chaos." "No matter how talented Temujin is, he cannot make the herdsmen enforce their orders. As long as the herdsmen are in chaos, the Yuan Empire will never be able to recover."

"Hehe! Panic is contagious. As long as the empire leaves gaps in these cities, it is impossible for the Yuan Empire troops in the encirclement to fight to the death."

Xu Da continued: "The empire can also deploy troops and horses outside the gap to rob and kill those who escape!"

Zhu Qi nodded and said: "What Wei Guogong said is true. As long as the Yuan Empire army enters the encirclement, most of the troops marching eastward will be left behind."

"If this battle is won, the Yuan Empire will never be able to recover, and the Qing Empire will have no chance at all. In the future, the grassland will belong to the empire."

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and Chang Yuchun looked at Zhu Qi with excitement.

……

"Wei Guogong, you are good at battle formations, so I leave this battle to you. On the eastern front battlefield, the troops, horses, and cities on both lines of defense are all controlled by you. Cao Guogong on the northern front also cooperates with you."

"In addition, the Duke of Guo was asked to take charge of the improvement of the third line of defense, just in case."

Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong were full of joy.

However, Xu Da said with a grimace: "Commander, is there something on Duke Xin's side...!"

When Xu Da mentioned Xin Guogong Tang He, he was really helpless!
When Zhu Qi was preparing for the Song Dynasty Empire, Tang He was left behind by Zhu Qi.No war broke out in the Song Dynasty, and Tang He had no complaints!

Later, when the Left Army marched westward to conquer the Xixia Empire, Tang He was still left to guard the rear.Fortunately, at that time, Xu Da and Zhu Wenzheng, who were guarding the borders of the Khitan Empire and the Dajin Empire, were not involved in the war.Tang He also had nothing to say!

But then, the empire went west to conquer the Three Kingdoms of the Grasslands. Xu Da, Zhu Wenzheng, and Li Wenzhong not only fought heartily, but also made great achievements in battle.At this time, if Tang He, who was staying in the northern region, had no idea in his mind, it would be impossible.

Now, the Yuan Empire and the Qing Empire are attacking, and Zhu Qi has left Tang He on the second line of defense.Tang He still didn't say anything this time, because the second line of defense still had a big battle planned, and even the decisive battle might be here at the second line of defense.

However, as soon as Zhu Qi adjusted his strategy, Tang He was transferred to the third line of defense in the rear to make the Poseidon Needle.

Even Xu Da couldn't stand this situation anymore.

Zhu Qi spread his hands and said to Xu Da: "Wei Guogong, the third line of defense is the final guarantee of the empire. Don't worry about victory in everything, think about defeat first! Therefore, the third line of defense is extremely important. Looking at the generals in the army, they can The person who holds this great responsibility must be Duke Xin. If Duke Wei has someone to recommend, I will be the one to do it."

Xu Da also understood that Zhu Qi was right and Tang He was the most suitable candidate.

Tang He has a very high prestige in the military. If Tang He's cultivation had not broken through to the Grand Master realm, it might not be certain whether the number one military officer in the Ming Empire was Xu Da.

Even if he has not broken through to the Grand Master realm, Tang He is still a giant in the army. In terms of status, he has a stable position over the two new Grand Masters, Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong.

Therefore, it is not without reason that Zhu Qi gives Tang He the task of guarding the rear every time.Because Tang He is the Dinghai Shenzhen that Zhu Qi selected for the army to turn the tide.

The presence of Tang and the Dinghai Shenzhen means that even if the Ming Empire's actions fail, they are still within the acceptable range.Because Tang He was the cordon drawn by Zhu Qi for the imperial military operations.
