warring states careerist

Chapter 532

In the era of low-efficiency black powder, the progress of city defense was far faster than that of siege. That's why after the emergence of bastions, a castle could be defended for a year at every turn.

Now, in order to attract people from all over the world to learn "Tianzhi", the Mohists are convinced that what they have mastered is the truth, and the truth of guarding the city is only a part of the truth of Tianzhi. If there are more people who learn, more people will naturally devote themselves to it Nine numbers and geometry.

In this case, there must be some smart people who have understood the essence of city defense, such as the deployment of troops, the discounted alignment, the deployment of artillery, and so on.

But Shi is not worried.

Since the Mohists began to form professional engineers back then, the progress of siege techniques has actually equaled that of city defense techniques.

The Mohists themselves have a lot of artillery, and many cities built before were considered because the enemy did not have artillery. The city walls and the thick earth barriers necessary to defend against artillery were not designed.

If you want to think clearly why there is no such thing, then you have to know why and why.

Even if there are such people, using the advantage of artillery and approaching by digging holes with engineers, basically there is no city in the world that cannot be captured in half a month.

All the people present were also full of arrogance. They felt that they were the orthodox Mohists who started their business by defending the city. For a long time, it was a joke.

After laughing, he pointed in the direction of Chengyang in Wei State, and said, "The key this time lies in Chengyang. We can't let Han Wei and Doctor Qi Pingyin reconcile and defeat one of them first,"

After he finished speaking, the people below all took out pens and paper to write it down, and waved their hands and said, "You don't need to memorize this. Just keep it in your mind. Let me tell you about our general military strategy. You can raise any ideas you have." come out."

"Since the State of Qi decided to send troops, Father Liang's army will go to Wucheng first. We have already advised the volunteers of the Fei State to wait for a while, collect food and grass, and prepare to attack Wucheng. What we are waiting for is that the State of Qi will definitely enter the State of Lu. Once When Qi enters Lu, we can send troops."

"Wucheng has not yet been captured, but is still being built. Now that Father Liang is defending, we will take advantage of the situation and go straight to Chengyang along the He River."

"If we march towards Chengyang, the people of Qi will feel that we are empty in the direction of Fei country, and may choose to attack. Gongzaoye can enter Fei country at any time."

"The key to this alignment battle is not Qi, but Wei Chengyang. Once Chengyang is broken, Wei is likely to make peace with us and withdraw from interference.

"If Cheng Yang can win, we will break one of Qi Guo's two fists. If Qi Guo is smarter at this time, he can choose to quit."

"If we are not smart enough, we will start from Chengyang and attack Pingyin directly, and follow the old path of the three Jins attacking Qi."

"There are only two choices for the main force of Linzi in the Qi State, to retreat and defend. Or, to attack Sishang with all our strength, wanting to see whether we will break through the Great Wall first, or they will break through Peiyi first..."

After he finished speaking, Liuzhi nodded and said, "No problem."

"I read the report the day before yesterday. Now Wei Guo has already started war with Zhongshan, Zhao, and Chu, and wants to drag Qi into the water to deal with us, so as to prevent us from forming an alliance with Chu to use troops in the direction of Daliang. As long as Cheng Yang wins, Wei Guo should will immediately withdraw from the intervention."

"The main thing is... the direction of Wucheng, how much troops do we need to lose in attacking Chengyang?"

The bulletin is a strategic analysis that can only be seen by senior officers in the army. In order to let everyone know why they chose such a strategy, they are now division commanders leading seven to eight thousand people. In the future, they may all be responsible for a grand strategy in one direction. Some things already need to be taught them.

The meaning of six fingers is the important issue of marching time difference.

If Qi advances too fast and Linzi's main force arrives in Wucheng before the Mohists break through Chengyang, then the situation for the Mohists will be very unfavorable.

The best situation is that after the Mohists capture Chengyang, the main force of Qi State Linzi is about to reach Wucheng, and they cannot directly turn to join forces with the defeated coalition forces in the direction of Chengyang and Pingyin, so as to achieve a split and attack situation.

He walked towards the map, pointed in the direction of Chengyang, and said, "If the people of Qi want to split up and advance together, Doctor Pingyin and the Wei-Han coalition forces must wait in Chengyang for a while. We think the key lies in Chengyang, but in the eyes of the people of Qi Come, the key is in Wucheng."

"When Linzi's army arrived near Wucheng, it was when Chengyang's army started to move. While attacking Wucheng, they went down Heshui and Sishui at the same time."

"If Doctor Pingyin and the Wei-Han Allied Forces reunite and concentrate in Chengyang, even if we have the skills to attack the city, we may suffer huge losses."

"If we attack Chengyang first and defeat the Wei and Han coalition forces, Doctor Pingyin may retreat."

"Since it is said that it is impossible for Wei State to have more power to interfere in Sishang, then our enemy is still Qi State. If we arrive at Chengyang before Doctor Pingyin and defeat the Wei-Han coalition forces, Wei State will withdraw from the intervention...Qi State knows it is difficult and returns it is good."

"What if they retreat without knowing the difficulty? The battle of Chengyang made the people of Qi choose to gather the army. The Qi army in the direction of Pingyin did not suffer any losses. They fought on the internal line of Qi and would make peace with the Linzi army... If they don't attack , we have to be on guard against them at all times, and we can't let go of our hands and feet to take over the East China Sea after Vietnam's withdrawal to the south..."

Several teachers nodded and asked, "What do you mean?"

Six fingers pointed to several cities in the northeast of Chengyang and south of Pingyin and said: "If we can be sure that the Wei and Han coalition forces are not too strong in Chengyang, we can make a feint attack on Chengyang and seize them. Opportunity... Defeat Dr. Pingyin in a field battle, and then turn around and fight Chengyang."

Everyone took a deep breath and felt that this idea was a bit too bold.

If it wins, it is naturally a coup.

But if there are any surprises, it will be very disadvantageous.

From Pingyin to Chengyang, that is, from Pingyin to Heze, where Ejiao was produced in later generations, it is only more than 200 miles away without crossing the provincial border.

This territory is still the land of Qi State. If there is any accident, or if there is anxiety, the Wei Han coalition army and the reinforcements from the rest of Qi State's cities will arrive within seven or eight days.

I'm not afraid of field battles, but I'm afraid that the two armies will reconcile and run back.This is in the internal line of Qi State, they must escape quickly, and the Mohist volunteers will be fighting on the external line when the time comes, and due to factors such as operational logistics, they may not be able to catch up.

If they were too late to catch up, the defeated troops gathered together, and actually did not cause much loss to Qi.

And if you choose to wait until Doctor Qi Pingyin and the Wei and Han coalition forces reunite with Yu Chengyang, that would be catching a turtle in the urn.

Of course, after the coalition forces reunite, the Mo family must quickly defeat Chengyang in order to ensure the safety of Wucheng. When the time comes, the heavy attack will inevitably cause huge losses.

But judging from the Mohist's siege methods, it is not a problem to take it down.

Shi frowned and thought about it, and Liuzhi said again: "If Wei Guo's determination to interfere is not so strong, in fact, if we can defeat Doctor Pingyin between Pingyin and Chengyang, then Wei Guo can actually choose to make peace."

"Even if we don't choose to make peace, the combined forces of the Wei and Han forces total more than 2 people. The main force in the direction of Daliang is fighting against Chu in Chendi, and the combined forces of Wei and Han in the direction of Chengyang can't do much. If we lose, bite us, and if we win, we will be honest."

"In this way, if we can annihilate Doctor Pingyin in Jishui, then the initiative will be completely in our hands."

"When the time comes, the main force of Pingyin will be wiped out, and the Great Wall will be demolished because of the Sanjin's conquest of Qi. Qi will have no danger to defend."

"At that time, we can attack to force Qi to retreat; we can use Wucheng, Fei and other places to lure the main force of Linzi to change homes with us, so that they think our main force is outside and drive straight into Peidi to encircle and annihilate them."

Shi stared at the map for a while, nodded and said: "Yes. If Doctor Pingyin and the Wei-Han coalition join forces in Chengyang, then even if we capture Chengyang, because it is a siege, it may take half a month. .The cities of Qi will have more time to prepare.”

"However, if the Qi army in the direction of Pingyin is wiped out in Jishui, then the Qi people in the cities in the direction of Pingyin will have no soldiers to use. We can quickly cross the Great Wall and go straight to Linzi. We can also choose to go south from Pingyin and attack Liangfu and Mount Tai. The first line, thus cutting off the retreat of the main force of the Qi army in Linzi, forcing them to fight us, weakening Qi in one fell swoop."

"The key is..."

Shi Shi's eyes fixed on the line of Jishui on the map. Now Onozawa is still there, where Nanjishui and Beijishui converge, and with the Heshui Canal built by Fucha, if he can win at Jishui, it can indeed directly threaten The hinterland of Qi.

The defense line of the Great Wall was forcibly dismantled by the Sanjin Dynasty because of the Gongsunhui Rebellion, and once the Pingyin of Qi State was lost, Linzi was also in jeopardy.

At that time, the strategic initiative will indeed be in their own hands.

After obtaining Pingyin, it doesn't matter whether Qi Guo dares to gamble and change his family.

If you dare to change your family, the volunteers will retreat, and the retired volunteers will be recruited, which will be enough to hold the Mo family's hinterland. When the time comes to cut off the Qi army's retreat, Qi will lose most of its troops at once...

Based on the current political situation in Qi State, the current internal situation of the Tian clan is similar to that before Zhao Ji's death.Once such a big failure occurs, Qi will inevitably have civil strife.

When the Qi State was in chaos, the Mohists could control the situation after the East China Sea retreated southward towards the Yue State.

It has to be said that Liuzhi's strategy is too bold, which is tantamount to requiring the Mohists to fight the Qi army within seven or eight days after sending troops from Pingyin, so as to prevent the possibility of reinforcements from other cities in Qi.

However, there are also many benefits after winning, and it can be said that there are great advantages in all aspects.The Wei-Han coalition is just a soy saucer, making peace with the Qi Congress will increase the pressure on the Mohists, but if there is no peace, with their small number of people, as long as the main force of the Mohism is not wiped out, they can only wave the flag and shout for peace.

This requires the full cooperation of the intelligence department to determine the time to send troops in the direction of Pingyin and the army of Qi State Linzi has passed Wenshui of Mount Tai.

That is to say, it is necessary to make Qi think that it has gained the initiative, and when it has been deployed in all directions and cannot be re-deployed, choose the time to send troops to regain the initiative.

The key is the time difference.

Counting from encircling Chengyang and attacking Jishui, to Jishui field battle, breaking Pingyin, to Taishan and Liangfushan threatening Qi Linzi's main rear, this series of actions may only take a month at most.
