Chapter 517

At the beginning of October, the sky is urgently closed.Hou Mingfeng summoned the generals and began to arrange a counterattack strategy.

"Everyone, this is the map of the Shayer Khanate and the Wukaner Sultanate." Hou Mingfeng pointed to the huge blueprint hanging behind him, and said solemnly, "This map is our investigators. , to collect and aggregate information. Although it is very simple, it is the most detailed information we have on these two countries so far."

Hou Mingfeng said, walked to the map, and drew a circle on one of the positions with a wooden stick, "This is where we are, where the Tianji Pass is. If you go west and northwest for more than two thousand miles, you will It is the capital of the Shayier Khanate, the city of Alakba. This city is on the verge of a large salt lake, facing water on three sides and connecting land on one side. Because it is adjacent to the lower reaches of the Danshui River, the water outside the city is light and drinkable. It is said that 200 years ago, a strong enemy besieged the city, trying to make the people in the city die of thirst. But in the end, the city persisted until the reinforcements arrived, and the inside and outside cooperated to wipe out the strong enemy.”

Hou Mingfeng looked at the crowd meaningfully, and continued, "The Shayer Khanate has a vast territory, no less than the West Golden Wolf Kingdom, with a population of tens of millions and a military strength of one million. However, there are powerful enemies on both sides of the kingdom. It is nothing to worry about when the troops are scattered. Its people are tough, they have many horses, and the number of cavalry is far superior to our army. Among the 50 troops that have been shut down, there are as many as [-] cavalry in this country."

When everyone heard this, their faces were heavy. Although the Hengshan Army also had a large number of cavalry, half of them were restrained by the Xijin werewolves. Now there are only [-] cavalry in the pass.Even if everyone had confidence in the Hengshan cavalry's battle, they couldn't hold back the disadvantage in numbers.

Hou Mingfeng looked at the faces of the people, and still calmly introduced, "As for the Wukaner Sultanate, it is in the south of the Shayer Khanate, and its capital, Koradi City, is more than 1000 miles away. The territory of this country is slightly smaller than that in the north. Its neighbor has a population of nearly ten million. Its country is located on a plateau, which has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. For a long time, its strong neighbors in the north have tried to annex this country, but they can only stop at the plateau. Later, the counterattack in this country He had no choice but to spit out the captured territory and retreat to the border. Relying on the geographical advantages, after hundreds of years of management, this country finally stood among the western powers. Now it has hundreds of thousands of troops and has become a hegemony in the south. "

After Hou Mingfeng finished speaking, he looked at the crowd quietly.Everyone's faces were solemn. It might not be so easy for such a powerful country to completely defeat them.

Hou Mingfeng smiled faintly, "Of course, these are all situations that we need to face after we have defeated the enemy army in the pass. Now, our top priority is to defeat this 50 army. If you have a good plan, you can speak out .”

After everyone heard the words, they began to discuss. Hou Mingfeng did not prohibit this, but encouraged everyone to discuss their opinions.

After a while, a young general stood up and raised his voice and said: "General, I think that it is late autumn now, and we only need to stick to it for a month or two. The weather is very cold. The enemy army has come from afar, so there must be a lack of supplies for the winter." The cavalry of our army can go deep into the enemy's territory and harass the food roads in the rear. As long as the army is in chaos due to lack of supplies, they can take advantage of the situation and annihilate 50 troops in one fell swoop."

Hou Mingfeng took a closer look. It turned out to be Lu Hongfei, the commander of the Tenth Infantry Division. This son was only in his 20s, but he became the division commander because of his meritorious service.So, he nodded towards him, and said with a smile: "What Mr. Lu said is indeed a safe strategy. I wonder if you have any other clever ideas?"

"General, the general thinks that although Master Lu's strategy is safe, it is not something our army can implement now." At this time, a general in his 30s stood up and said loudly: "Now there are still Xijin werewolves going south in the Western Regions." If the rebellion is delayed, it will only make the Xijin werewolves more unscrupulous. The two powerful countries that have passed the pass are by no means mediocre, and they will definitely escort a large amount of supplies. If they do not conquer this pass and enter the Western Regions, they will go to war this time , is it not in vain?"

"Oh? Master Chen Rui, tell me about your strategy." Hou Mingfeng looked at him with piercing eyes.This person is the commander of the Seventh Cavalry Division, speaking of which, he is still his old subordinate.

Chen Rui was a little nervous, grabbed the skirt of his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "General, I think that our army can rely on the advantage of artillery and the narrow rift to tear apart the opponent's formation with artillery, and then charge with cavalry. Disturb the enemy's formation, once there is a big mess, it is impossible to move on this narrow valley road. When the front line is rolled back, the 50 army will collapse."

Without waiting for Hou Mingfeng to speak, Lu Hongfei, who was dissatisfied, snorted coldly and said with a sneer, "Mr. Chen is treating the enemy army as fools, right? In this narrow rift, how could they not have the means to guard against our army's surprise attack? Our army's artillery is indeed sharp, but it has lost its mystery. The enemy knows that our army has a sharp weapon of artillery, so how can they not take precautions?"

"Mr. Lu, this is just your personal guess." Chen Rui retorted unceremoniously, "Our army has added two hundred cannons, how can their power be compared with the dozens of cannons on the wall? As long as With the power of artillery, who in the world can resist? Generals, gentlemen, your lords once said that with the introduction of hot weapons, new modes of warfare will emerge accordingly, and the old modes of warfare will gradually withdraw from the battlefield. Now, It's time for our military to start transitioning to a new paradigm."

"New model?" Hou Mingfeng's eyes brightened slightly, "Mr. Chen, continue talking."

"Yes, generals, everyone, everyone has seen the power of artillery. Under the bombardment of artillery shells, everything is invincible." Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and he waved his arms excitedly. , under the formation of volleys, not to mention the 50 troops, even the millions of troops will be smashed into scum. This artillery is already a weapon beyond human power. Our army only needs to use artillery to clear the way and disperse the enemy. Formation; then the cavalry broke the formation, chasing the dead and chasing the north; finally, the infantry cleared the battlefield and arrived at the battle situation. With just these three steps, our army can conquer the world."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think carefully, and couldn't help shivering slightly.Thousands of guns are fired at once, no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be shattered, and no matter how elite soldiers and horses are, it will be shattered.

Hou Mingfeng nodded thoughtfully, waved Chen Rui to sit down, and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen's point of view is very novel, not bad. But Mr. Chen may have forgotten that the production of this artillery is cumbersome and expensive. Fire all cannons, I, Hengshan, don't have that kind of ability."

Chen Rui blushed slightly, scratching his head and laughing endlessly.

"However, the tactics provided by Master Chen just now are really good." Hou Mingfeng glanced at Chen Rui, and said solemnly, "Although our army only has more than 200 artillery pieces, it is indeed enough to tear apart the enemy's formation. .However, if you want to defeat 50 troops, I'm afraid it's not enough. If you have any clever ideas, feel free to tell me."

 Recently, there are few collections and few book reviews, so I feel so deserted!Now that we have set up a naming building, book lovers are welcome to provide some names, no matter what you like or dislike, you can write them into the book.
