Chapter 115 The Actual Combat Application of the Art of War (1)

"I hate them the most. They don't have any guts."

Inside the big tent, Ma Chao sighed, and said: I originally thought that those thieves who dared to attack the exchange either took the wrong medicine or had their brains flooded.But after some acting in the morning, Ma Chao found out that the thieves hadn't fallen for it, which hurt Ma Chao very much.

This time, Ma Chao, in order to seek speed, brought [-] Xiliang iron cavalry veterans and more than [-] captive recruits.The rest of the soldiers stayed in Fufeng County.After all, Han Sui is coming, maybe he will take a shot and rob Fufeng County.At that time, even if Han Ying and Yan Xing were killed to vent their anger, the base would be gone, and it would still be useless.

Of course, the possibility of Han Sui daring to attack Fufeng County is already very small.But Ma Chao didn't dare to take the risk—Li Kan and Cheng Yin's lessons haven't passed long—besides, Han Sui didn't move, and other thieves were jealous. The meat and potatoes in the eyes of those thieves.

This is good, those sons of the Qiang nationality have gone back.After performing a play, You Chu also went back.I was left alone, so I had to slowly play with those thieves.

Hard attack?

Ma Chao shook his head, this is not his style.Besides, if you use cavalry to attack a city, even if you succeed, the loss is not what you want to see: the courage of a man is always a bad strategy, it is more than enough to deter, but it is not enough to rule ten thousand people.

In particular, killing one thousand enemies destroys eight hundred, not to mention using cavalry to attack the city, it is a brain-dead way of self-destructing one thousand...

Therefore, a planned siege can not only cultivate the overall view of your subordinates.It can also deter Han Sui more effectively and convince You Chu.

Of course, this may also prompt his subordinates to change to more insidious aspects.

However, Ma Chao likes this.Ever since, those big bosses under him were pulled by Ma Chao to the meeting.

Except for Jia Huli, among these people, Yang Fu should know the art of war best.And Yang Fu lived up to expectations, and he said a lot in a rather cunning way, and the central point that bears the brunt is: know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

Yang Fu's first sentence is as follows: "If a worker wants to be good at his work, he must first sharpen his tools. If he wants to win the city, he must first take advantage of the gap to enter it. If he wants to win the city, he must know the city. It’s impossible. If you want to know the state of the city, how can you get it without spies? If you win, you will win more, and if you lose, you will lose more. There is no other mystery.”

Ma Chao and the others translated the words, and guessed that Yang Fu's general meaning was: If you want to attack the city, you must first know what the thieves and bandits in the city are like.Therefore, first send someone to scout and spy on them to see what kind of painful feet they have, and then analyze the specific situation in detail, grab his painful feet and hit him hard, the chances of winning will be better.

Now that Yang Fu said so, Ma Chao had no other choice, so he ordered the army to camp for a while and ordered Brother Chou to quietly lead his shadow to investigate the intelligence of Xinping County.Fortunately, Ma Chao had arranged manpower in Xinping and Beidi counties as early as a month ago, and now he is just passing on information.I believe that those shadows who have been instructed by me will have a lot of ideas.

After conveying the order, Ma Chao began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and ourselves.This time, although Ma Chao's work was unintentional, this move can be regarded as creating a necessary topic before the war for the Ma family military generals in Xiliang in the future.And this battle has also been absorbed by the military training center as a classic case for study and discussion by those low-level officers in the future.

"The bandit's advantage is the large number of people, the high walls, the defense equipment, and other advantages. Moreover, his leader also has some military vision." Pound first mentioned these obvious situations, and continued: " And their disadvantages are that the military discipline is disordered, people are panicked, and their combat effectiveness is not high. And most of them are from bandits, and they are not familiar with city defense battles."

"The advantage of our army is exactly the opposite of that of the bandits, but the disadvantage is also obvious. Our army is all cavalry. If it is used in siege warfare, it will suffer heavy losses." Ma Chao concluded that there seems to be no need for analysis on this point.The most urgent thing is to see if Yang Fu has any good ideas.

"All fighters use righteousness and surprise to win. To send troops to attack the enemy, the place of battle and the day when the division will arrive must be foreseen. Knowing the place and day of battle, the ones who are prepared will be able to make the enemy come as scheduled. However, the strength of the city wall and the number of defenses in the city, if you know its advantages, you will win more battles."

Yang Fu's second sentence is actually not as good as the first sentence. In fact, since Ma Chao crossed over, he has never fought an upright and formal battle.It's either a conspiracy or a trick, which is in line with the key points of winning by surprise in the book of war.

Everyone discussed for half a day, and then carefully reviewed the essentials of the siege battle.Although there is a sense in my heart, there is still no substantial progress.

In the end, it was the shadow of Brother Chou who broke the deadlock.Because they brought back a vital message: there is a shortage of food in the city!
Ma Chao thinks about it too. It's only less than June, and the old grain is almost eaten, and the new grain has not yet been harvested.And Xinping County is not as rich as Fufeng County. After [-] thieves came, how could there be so much food for those thieves?

After everyone heard the news, their eyes lit up.Especially Ma Chao and Fazheng's eyes were as bright as light bulbs.

Ma Chao noticed Fazheng's strangeness, and he waited for Fazheng to introduce himself and give advice, but when Ma Chao looked at Fazheng, Fazheng straightened himself and forbeared.

Historically, Fazheng managed military discipline for Liu Bei. How could it be possible that he did not know the art of war and knew how to fight?Especially the previous behavior, it is clear that he already has an idea in his heart.And he didn't say it specifically in the end, obviously because he wanted to see how Ma Chao took advantage of the enemy's sore foot.

'It's a little thing!How dare you underestimate our Ma family group! Ma Chao hated it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.He had a thorough understanding of Fazheng's psychology: "This kid, I still have a grudge against kidnapping him here."Previously, he deliberately showed his hand before sending out troops, but at this time he stopped talking.Obviously wanting to see the capabilities of the Ma family group!
Be proud, be proud.But that's okay, this time I deliberately left him out in the cold.Let him know how powerful the Ma family group is.In the future, as long as I gradually downplay and marginalize him, this kid will think that his ability has been insulted, and he will definitely work hard to show himself! '

After the plan was made, Ma Chao immediately spoke out what was in his mind.At the same time, let everyone take a closer look.But the starting point of everyone's vision is different, so it is natural to perfect all the defects and loopholes.In less than an hour, the plan against the gang of thieves in Xinping County was freshly released.

And Fazheng on the side was a little dumbfounded, during this moment, he just listened quietly.But the more I listened, the more shocked I became: this group of people seemed to have a talent for conspiracies and tricks, and what each of them said was to the point and targeted.And when it comes to making up for those loopholes and making it perfect, the eyeballs will shine!

'These devils... those poor thieves in Xinping County, you can rest in peace. Fazheng lamented in his heart: "This kind of trick, you have to say that some thieves like you, even yourself, if you didn't hear it with your own ears, you might fall into it!" '

For a moment, Fazheng regretted his previous reserve.Because he discovered that these people don't need him at all, and they can come up with an impeccable plan, even more perfect than his own plan!

In the end, Fazheng saw the strange smile on the young man in brocade clothes, and felt very depressed.
