I want to be emperor

Chapter 56
Although Wang Jida didn't have much military knowledge, as the magistrate of Lushan County, he had seen quite a few rogues, so he still had basic common sense. You know, the thief army in front is definitely not easy!
"It is very likely that the front is the backbone old thief in a brigade of thieves?" Wang Jida thought in his heart: "It may be a famous old thief. If we wipe them out, the credit can be compared to exterminating thousands of thieves." It’s much stronger than ordinary thieves.”

After Wang Jida made some calculations, he felt that if he could annihilate these old thieves, plus the original credit for exterminating Tatianhu's troops, his further promotion would be certain, and no one else would be worthy of his credit. It is safe to skip a level and become a magistrate.

If he is lucky, and if he is ruthless and spends a lot of money, and if he owes some favors and asks his teachers and friends to help him push, he can even hope to set up a six-subject department in Nanjing, which has a bright future.

After finishing the calculation, Wang Jida took a deep breath: "The traces of the bandit army have been revealed. If Huang Dusi doesn't attack now, when will he wait?"

If time dragged on for a long time, and the elite bandits on the opposite side ran away, how could they be promoted!
You and other lowly warriors rush forward quickly, if you delay your official promotion plan, you and other lowly warriors can't afford to walk around!
As for how many casualties would be caused by a forced attack, that was out of his consideration.

He is a top three Jinshi, a serious civil servant, so he won't pay attention to the life and death of those lowly warriors.

Hearing Wang Jida's words, Huang Guangmao didn't even bother to get angry and complain...

Apart from urging him to send troops to rush up, this bastard can't say anything else.

Huang Guangmao could only patiently explain that he had to be prepared to make sure nothing would go wrong, and repeatedly assured Wang Jida that he would never let the bandits on the opposite side run away.

Wang Jida was naturally very dissatisfied with Huang Guangmao's behavior, so he repeatedly pressured him and even asked him to directly dispatch three hundred soldiers to rush forward.

This time, Huang Guangmao resisted the pressure, he refused to say anything and sent [-] soldiers under his command to rush forward.

The thieves in the front are obviously unusual. If he still sends the three hundred soldiers under him to charge forward, even if he wins, he will suffer heavy casualties. After all, the armor rate of his soldiers is not high, so there are only two Thirty had armor, and the rest had no armor.

Once you forcibly rush up and be covered by the enemy's dense arrows, wouldn't it be over.

However, the pressure Wang Jida put on him was still very high, and it was not good for Huang Guangmao to do nothing, otherwise he would really be overwhelmed and walk around.

So after thinking about it, he decided to fight, but he couldn't just hit the valley so stupidly.

Not long after, Huang Guangmao made the latest arrangement. On the one hand, he arranged two teams, that is, about 60 soldiers in the rear, and in the front were more than 200 county warriors who were used as cannon fodder.

Didn't he, Wang Jida, say that he wanted to fight directly, and he also showed that he didn't care about the possible casualties at all, so let the county brave under him die.

Of course, it is unreliable to rely solely on the cannon fodder of Xianyong, and it is estimated that there will be no deaths or injuries.

The more than 200 county warriors on the front are purely used to attract the attention of the opposing bandits. It is best to attract their archers. It would be even better if they can attract the archers on the opposite side to shoot actual waves of arrows continuously.

Archery is also a physical activity, especially continuous rapid shooting on the battlefield requires very high physical fitness. Generally speaking, after an archer shoots more than ten arrows in a short period of time, his physical fitness is basically the same. Continue to forcefully bend If you shoot with a bow, it's not that you can't shoot arrows, but your strength will be much worse, and your muscles will be easily strained.

Once the county brave at the front can consume the physical energy of the archers on the opposite side, then the soldiers used by one's own side can rush up as the second wave of troops, rushing directly to the wooden wall and climbing up to fight the enemy. Avoid serious casualties in the process of advancing.

But even so, Huang Guangmao still felt that there was a high probability that a frontal attack would be impossible, so the frontal attack was just a way to attract the enemy's main force and contain the enemy's forces.

He put the real main direction of attack on the mountains on both sides of the canyon, to be precise, the mountain on the left.

Once one's own side can capture the tops of the mountains on both sides of the valley, it will be able to form a condescending advantage over the enemy troops in the front of the valley. At that time, if the bandits in the valley do not want to die under the cover of their own arrows, they can only choose to retreat.

Attack from the front and both sides, cooperate with each other, and put pressure on the opposing bandit army together, and no matter which side obtains a breakthrough, it will allow your side to win the final victory.

To this end, he arranged for hundreds of Xianyong to attack the left hillside, and there were two teams of 60 soldiers in addition.

On the hillside on the right, there are also 30 county warriors, but there are only [-] soldiers.

In this way, he directly dispatched all the remaining 150 county braves, and sent out [-] warriors.

At the same time, there are more than [-] soldiers serving as the strategic reserve team. If one of the three directions gains an advantage and is recruited for a breakthrough, then he will selectively invest in several reserve teams to completely break through the enemy's defense line. .

To invest a large amount of troops in one go to launch a fierce attack was actually not in line with Huang Guangmao's original arrangement, but Wang Jida put too much pressure on him.

He always said that the bandit army on the opposite side would run away, and said something to impeach him...

Huang Guangmao had no choice but to choose a compromise solution.

Wang Jida had no objection to Huang Guangmao's battle arrangements.

The focus of Wang Jida's attention is whether to fight, not how to fight.

As long as Huang Guangmao leads troops to fight, he doesn't care how Huang Guangmao arranges his troops and chooses where to attack.

He even had no objection to Huang Guangmao's use of county bravery as cannon fodder, but it was only a few hundred county brave people who were killed or injured, and he could recruit them back in minutes.

As long as he can win, as long as he can get enough heads of thieves, other things don't matter.

Wang Jida did not interfere with Huang Guangmao's specific deployment of troops, which made Huang Guangmao heave a sigh of relief.

Wang Jida repeatedly forced him to send troops to attack, which is already too much. If he still carefully interferes with how to arrange troops, choose the direction of initiative, how many people to send to fight, and what tactics to use, I am afraid Huang Guangmao is about to collapse...

And what about Wang Jida?
He glanced at Huang Guangmao and then looked away.

He doesn't understand interference in formation formation, let alone understand it!
His Wang family is a scholarly family of farming and studying heirlooms. His Wang Jida is a dignified top three Jinshi, a seventh-rank county magistrate, and what he has learned and used is the way of sages.

Learn military tactics and practice martial arts?

Disgraceful!

These days, even though they are all civilian officials leading troops, many civilian officials still have the reputation of knowing soldiers, but civilian leading troops does not mean that they should personally command the army.

Their real job is actually to issue orders to the generals below and supervise those generals to fight well.

For example, after shaking your head and waist at the abstract map, you say to a certain general that you must conquer this place, and if you can't defeat it, you will kill me...

As for how to beat them, it's none of their business...

Let’s not talk about distant places, let’s just talk about this part of Henan.

Who is the biggest military commander in this area?Henan Governor Xuanmo.

Xuanmo made his debut in the imperial examinations. He was released as an official, returned to Beijing as an official, and was an examiner. He was dismissed for complaining about Wei Zhongxian. After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Wei Zhongxian was killed. Last year, he became the governor of Henan with the title of Yushi, the capital of the capital, and presided over the suppression of bandits in Henan.

If you look through his resume before he served as the governor of Henan, you can't find any words related to military affairs.

However, such a person became the governor of Henan, and then commanded Zuo Liangyu, Chen Zhibang, Chen Yongfu, Cao Wenzhao and a large number of Ming army generals, deputy generals, and guerrillas to fight...

The ghost knows what the central bosses of the Ming Dynasty were thinking in their minds. To let an official of the Ministry of Education who was famous in the official affairs and promoted Wei Zhongxian as the governor of a province is not the governor of an ordinary place, but It was Henan, which was attacked by hundreds of thousands of bandits and fought frequently.

That's not crazy!

You can let him spray people, and he is very good at it, but if you let him lead troops, he really won't...

He has never touched this thing.

Therefore, the Central Plains was harmed, and more and more thieves were fighting. Don't blame Xuan Mo, but blame the big brothers of the Ming court. They chose a sprayer to lead an army of tens of thousands to fight, and their brains are out of control...

If he can do it, then hundreds of millions of people can be pulled out to be the governor and lead tens of thousands of people to fight in future generations!
Who is not a keyboard man? It seems like the big guy can't spray people.

The governor of a province is a big fan, and Tan Zhengling, the governor of Ruzhou, who is further down, has served as the county magistrate of two places, and then he is the Tongzhi, the magistrate, the right councilor, and has nothing to do with the military. It was obtained through bribery, but after gaining Xuanmo's trust, he was sent by Xuanmo to Ruzhou to guard military affairs...

In fact, the situation of many other civil servants in charge of the army is similar.
Although many have the reputation of knowing soldiers, but not 100%, but ninety-nine out of ten will really not lead soldiers to fight...

It's not that they are poor in ability or character, it's just that they are really not professional...

A fierce man like Lu Xiangsheng who formed and trained his own army, commanded himself and even rushed directly during the battle is an example, and there are not many in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty.

As for Wang Jida, he naturally belongs to the majority, the kind who lead soldiers but can't fight.

If you insist on saying that Wang Jida will lead troops to fight, he will spray you in the face.

I am a civil servant, how can I do lowly military affairs.

If you keep making noise, I will impeach you with a memorial, hum╭(╯^╰)╮.
