The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 56
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Chuan didn't come up with a good idea.

This time, the Tartars alone have as many as a thousand forwards, which is more than all their current troops combined.What's more, I don't know how many people will follow up.

It is obviously unrealistic for me to bring this kind of people to fight against the Tartars, maybe the whole army will be wiped out, and my journey through time travel may come to an end.

So can we not fight?Of course you can, but if you don't fight, you can only sit back and watch the Tartars take down Datong City in a leisurely manner, and then directly threaten yourself.

Obviously, it won't work if you don't fight. Even if the tartars don't attack you after taking Datong, you will be sealed in this gourd valley, so what's the development?

It seems that we still have to fight.

But how to play with the greatest confidence, this is a question that Jiang Chuan has been thinking hard about.

Although he has personally experienced battles and beheaded Tartars and horse thieves with his own hands, he is completely different from the old nerd who devoted himself to the years.

But these are not enough to make him a qualified commander quickly, let alone a famous general, that is even more unnecessary.

Speaking of which, he really has no experience in fighting, especially in the era of cold weapons. Of course, the experience in the game must not be counted.

After much deliberation, I still have no idea.

Seeing Jiang Chuan frowning and thinking silently, Liu Ji was also silent beside him, but his eyes were observing the young general, as if to see if he could withstand the storm this time.

Jiang Chuan couldn't figure it out while sitting, so he simply stood up and paced back and forth thinking.

He told himself not to panic, but to be calm.The brain is clearest when it is calm.

He suddenly remembered an analysis method of enterprise management that he had learned when he was working: SWOT theory.

SWOT is a method of analyzing the competitive situation of an enterprise and one of the basic analysis methods of marketing. It evaluates the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the enterprise in the Before formulating the development strategy of the enterprise, conduct an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the enterprise and position the competitive advantage.

To put it simply, it is to analyze one's own strengths and weaknesses, and then have possible opportunities, as well as current threats.

In fact, whether this analysis method can be applied to business management, it can also be applied to various things such as personal development, career selection, and even spouse selection.

That being the case, obviously it can also be used on the issue I am currently considering.

Let me talk about the advantages first: my own advantage is obviously the existence of the system.Only with the existence of the system, as long as you have enough money, enough honor points, and enough population, you can have a large number of trained real soldiers in a very short period of time, instead of taking a long time like in reality. To train is to become an army.This is my biggest secret and my biggest advantage.

What about disadvantages?The biggest disadvantage is that his current military strength is obviously insufficient, and he lacks command experience in a major war. The Tartars came prepared, the Datong defenders were weak, and the imperial court had no reinforcements.And if I want to expand my army now, I need more population and more honor points.Money is enough.

Let's talk about opportunities: the biggest opportunity is that the Tartars don't know their existence.Although it was said that the Tartars suffered a loss in their own hands last time, but they pretended to be the banner of the Ming army, so the Tartars didn't know about themselves at all.But I know the movements of the Tartars, which is an information gap.With this information gap, you can catch him by surprise.

Let's talk about threats: In addition to the threat from the Tartars, I also have to consider whether the surrounding green forest villages and even the Ming army will cooperate with me if my entire army attacks, as well as the horse thieves in the valley. Whether they will take the opportunity to cause chaos, these are potential threats.

After such an analysis, Jiang Chuan's thoughts gradually became clear, and he formed a general plan: expand advantages, reduce disadvantages, seize opportunities, and eliminate threats.

Following this general plan and extending further, Jiang Chuan soon had a general plan in mind, and his expression relaxed.

Seeing Jiang Chuan's expression turn from dignified to relaxed, Liu Ji was surprised, and asked aloud, "Could it be that the general already has a strategy to defend against the enemy?"

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly and said, "It's just something to gain, and it's still unknown what effect it will produce."

Seeing Jiang Chuan's confident look, Liu Ji became even more suspicious.

I was also thinking about a solution just now, but after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't find a suitable solution. I didn't expect this young general to come up with a solution so quickly, which made it incredible that he arrived.

Jiang Chuan didn't say much, and called, "Come here."

Leopard Yazi and Yang Chuliu walked in together and said, "This subordinate is here!"

"Give me an order. The commanders of each team will come to discuss matters, except for the commander of the cavalry. In addition, Bao Yazi, please invite Guan Hu and the village elders from your village. I have something to discuss with them." Jiang Chuan told the two of them. road.

"Your subordinates obey!" The two teenagers took orders loudly, turned around and left quickly.

Watching the two leave, Jiang Chuan took a few steps back and forth, then turned to Liu Ji and asked, "Military Master, are you familiar with the mountains and rivers surrounding Datong City?"

Liu Ji pondered for a while and then said: "When I traveled around the world in the past, I used to pay attention to the dangerous terrains in various places, especially the frontier lands in the Ming Dynasty. I drew all these terrains and compiled them into a book. Back then, I wanted to If there is an opportunity to serve the country, it will be useful at that time. I didn’t expect that the albums have turned yellow, and I’m getting old. If the general didn’t ask about it today, I don’t know that I would hide it. When will I remember."

Jiang Chuan was overjoyed when he heard that the old fox was indeed a treasure, and hurriedly said: "Great, military advisor, where is this map now?"

"It's right where I live. I'll fetch the general for a look."

Looking at Liu Ji's back, Jiang Chuan was even more excited.With a map, the choice of this battlefield will be much smoother, and I won't have nowhere to start like a blind man.

Soon Liu Ji fetched an atlas, and found one out of it to put on the long case, and said, "Please look, general, this is the map of mountains and rivers near Datong."

He was used to seeing the color-printed maps of later generations before, and then looking at the map hand-painted by Liu Ji, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt like looking at an abstract painting, and he was a little dizzy.

After pondering for a long time, I could barely see a clue.

"General, please look, this is Datong City, and this is where our Calabash Valley is located. About two hundred miles to the north, there is a hilly land, which the locals call Wild Boar Slope. From the perspective of terrain, the southwest is a plain. After passing through the mountains It is a plain again, there is no big river behind the mountain, and the whole mountain area is only twenty or thirty miles away, and it belongs to the hills in the middle of the mountain and half of the plain."

Liu Ji looked at Jiang Chuan's appearance and explained with a slight smile.

"Is there anything special about this terrain? If you want to set up an ambush here, I'm afraid it's not suitable?" Jiang Chuan asked puzzled.

"When I traveled around the world in the past, I personally walked through this mountain. When I first saw it, I didn't think there was anything special about it. Later, I didn't discover the beauty of this mountain until I passed through it. Something special." Liu Ji said with a smile.

"What's so special about it?"

"General, this hilly and mountainous area looks gentle, but it is actually round and steep on the outside. The mountain pass is a gentle hillside, and the road is wide, but as you go in, it becomes narrower and more winding, and the mountains on both sides rise accordingly. , and the mountain has a lot of soil and few rocks. So the forest is very dense."

"Sure enough, there is something special about it, and it's a good place to set up an ambush. But how can we be sure that the Tartars will go here?" Jiang Chuan asked again.

"The general doesn't know that the Tartars marched from the north to the south to attack Datong. If they don't want to go here, they have to detour for at least a hundred miles. And as far as I know, the Tartar cavalry will pass through this place every time they attack the grass valley. And for many years The defenders of Datong did not dare to go out into the field at all, and the Tartars were not worried that the Ming army would set up an ambush again. Moreover, the terrain here is quite confusing. For the Tartars who have never been here, even the Tartar generals who have a little vision will not feel it. This is a good place to set up an ambush. It will be too late when they get deep into the valley."

Liu Ji said with a leisurely smile, not without complacency on his face.

"The military adviser is indeed a great talent. Since this is the case, I will ask Ran Wu to conduct a field survey tomorrow. If there is no accident, the battlefield for killing the Tartars will be set here." Jiang Chuan shouted excitedly.

Liu Ji, the old fox, is indeed a treasure. This map has solved a big problem.

"General, the right time, the right place, and the right people are important in combat. Although the terrain is favorable, we are short of troops. How can we fight against the Tartars?" Liu Ji looked at Jiang Chuan's excitement and didn't want to hit him, but he still couldn't help but say it own doubts.

"Military commander, don't worry. With this wild boar slope, our chances of winning this time will be even greater. As for the problem of insufficient troops, I will definitely have reinforcements within three days." Jiang Chuan smiled confidently full way.

"Where did the reinforcements come from?" Liu Ji wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't ask.

This General Jiang is so mysterious that he can't see through it at all. There are always people coming in a steady stream. Could it be that he is the prince of which country?

These doubts lingered in my heart, but I didn't ask them again.But he believes that one day he will know the truth.

Soon, footsteps sounded outside the conference hall, and it was the person who received Jiang Chuan's order who had arrived.

After all the army leaders were seated, Bao Yazi helped Guan Hu get off his horse. There was also an old man riding a horse beside him, who was the village elder Guan Sanye from Guanjiatun.

"Leopard Boy helped Brother Guan Hu. Third Master Guan, please slow down." Jiang Chuan greeted him with a smile.

　The second one arrives.There is another update in the afternoon.
