Chapter 76 The calculations of both the enemy and ourselves

In the first battle, the enemy was defeated for twenty miles. From then on, the Yellow Belt Army only had kills and no prisoners in every battle.

In this battle, six thousand heads were taken. As for our own side, we only suffered 1,500 casualties. This was a tactical victory, the perfect combination of trenches and muskets.

"Send the head to the capital to report the victory."

From then on, as the front lines continued to report victories, the entire city of Beijing was always shrouded in a stench. People were cheering in high spirits amid the stench.

In the center of the dense trenches, Lu Mou convened a meeting of the generals: "The enemy will not give up. They have suffered a loss from our trenches, and they will definitely come up with ways to deal with this new tactical method. For Therefore, we should continue to improve the technology of trench warfare, strive to kill more enemies, and try to buy more time for Li Yan."

Zhu Changxun nodded: "Your Majesty is right. As long as we are here for a day, it will be impossible for Liu Fangliang's main force to pass."

Lu Mou frowned and murmured: "Then what if he goes around and lets us just lie here and stare?"

All the soldiers in the army looked at him like an idiot.

In fact, this was not what Lu Moushun said.

Because in the peaceful years of his previous life, he had ridiculed countless times the stupidity of the troops and generals who reinforced a certain place during the war.

There is an obstruction in front of you. Why don't you just go around and let the blocking enemy lie down in the position and stare at it?

Now that I have actually gone to the battlefield and commanded the army, I realize that my idea at that time was really stupid.

If you go around blocking enemies, fine, then you have to bear the risk of being attacked from both sides. If you go around, you will have to bear the risk of being cut off from logistical supplies.

Go around and you're dead.

Seeing the looks of the generals looking at him as idiots, Lu Mou touched his nose and explained confidently: "Think about it, if the enemy no longer passes us, but crosses the Yellow River again and goes around the south bank of the Yellow River, what should we do? what to do."

Everyone suddenly realized that Prince Emotion was not an idiot, but a quick thinker. He was talking about what to do if the enemy bypassed the south bank of the Yellow River.

Zhu Changxun thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "It's impossible."

"why?"

"First, it is to rescue troops like putting out a fire, and then cross the Yellow River. During this flood season, he can only go back to Jinan, then go all the way to Lijin, and then cross the Yellow River. This is not as simple as a big bay, and time does not allow him. "

Zhu Yuanxin, commander of the First Division, also analyzed: "What the commander said is true. There is another point. Now Liu Fangliang should not only think about how to relieve the siege of Binzhou. He should consider that we must eliminate our team and relieve his own Threatened."

Lu Mou took an attitude of encouraging you to express your opinion: "Okay, Master Yuanxin has his own ideas, which is very good. This is how you should always think, so that you can stand alone in the future."

Encouraged by the prince, Zhu Yuanxin raised his chest and continued: "Last time, the rogue bandits underestimated the enemy and we annihilated 12,000 people. This time, the new tactics cost them another 6,000, and the total was nearly 20,000. And. What is Liu Fangliang's main force? It is reported that it is 100,000. There are only 70,000 in Jinan, and the rest are scattered in various important places in Shandong.

He sent 50,000 troops out of 70,000 li this time. So, how many troops does he have left in Jinan? It is estimated that Jinan is so empty that it has no soldiers.

Now, after he has experienced the strength of our team, he can no longer focus on rescuing Binzhou. Instead, he must annihilate or drive us away to relieve him of the danger in Jinan. So the general thinks, no, the general concludes, he will never go around the south bank of the Yellow River, he must grit his teeth and fight us. "

Lu Mou clapped his hands: "Okay, your analysis is so right, it's exactly what I thought."

Have you ever had this thought? If you have such thoughts, what else do you ask me to say?

"Then, we will be here to firmly attract Liu Fangliang's main force. As long as we don't take the initiative to attack, Liu Fangliang will have to be here to play with me. Let's see if I don't kill him."

At this time, he thought of another thing: "How long can our current food and grass last?"

Zhu Changxun replied: "We can still hold on for ten days. If we don't have food and grass delivered in ten days, we will be the ones who are killed."

Lu Mou jumped up and said: "The flying pigeon sent a message to Li Yan to speed up the siege. I can't hold on for long." Liu Fangliang's army was watching outside, and the civilians were transporting supplies. It was very dangerous.

Li Yan's reply came back in the blink of an eye. The Jin Yiwei in charge of the carrier pigeons reported: "Li Shangshu said, please insist, the prince, for at least half a month. He is planning to do it in Binzhou."

"What? Let me persist for half a month, and he is still trying to figure it out? What does he mean? Is he going to harm me?"

"Li Shangshu said that he wanted to use Binzhou and Lijin to cultivate and train the Third Army's ability to attack fortresses. He wanted the Third Army to practice all the attack methods that Li Shangshu knew one by one. Li Shangshu said that he wanted to use the Third Army's ability to attack fortresses. The army must be built into a team that can fight in the field and attack difficulties."

This reason is extremely noble. Make it impossible for you to refute.

"Order the entire army to cooperate with Li Yan's plan. The food for the entire army will be halved. They will have porridge and steamed buns in the morning, dry rice at noon, and half full at night. Tell the soldiers that for the sake of Li Shangshu's overall situation, we must endure hardships."

The blame must be placed on Li Yan's head, but he cannot bear it. Didn't Cao Cao also kill the officials in charge of food to appease the anger of the starving soldiers? I would do the same.

From then on, every time the officers and men of the Fifth Army saw Li Yan, they looked at him unkindly.

"But I have announced that daily food expenses will remain as usual. When this war is over, all the food expenses saved in these days will be repaid to the soldiers."

Ah, although I am hungry, I have money to take, and everyone is poor, so let's go hungry. Therefore, the eyes that looked at Lu Mou were full of gratitude for justice. Is it still the caring family of Lao Zhu’s family?

Liu Fangliang is really in a dilemma. The situation he is in now is the same as what Lu Mou and others analyzed.

It was originally meant to save Binzhou, but now it had to change to deal with the Ming army in front of them.

However, Binzhou still needs to be saved, the army in front of us needs to be destroyed, and Jinan City needs to be protected. With limited troops at hand, this matter would be difficult to handle.

However, difficult things must be done. If you can’t take care of things far away, then let’s take care of the immediate future.

He ordered Jinan's general He Zhen to lead Jinan's last five thousand soldiers and horses to quickly advance from the south bank of the Yellow River to Lijin, and then lift the siege of Binzhou from Lijin.

Ordered to pull Jinan's cannon over. I am here to deal with this Ming army with all my strength.

To deal with this Ming army, we must first crack the enemy's trench warfare methods.

Gu Weiben, who came urgently, said: "The key is that the enemy uses trenches and uses firearms to prevent us from getting close."

Liu Fangliang nodded: "On the way to the trench, we could only be massacred passively. The real failure point of this battle is here, and most of the sacrifices are here. As long as this problem is solved, as long as the two armies fight together , my soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles can launch an absolutely crushing battle against the Ming army."

Liu Fangliang still has confidence in his men's individual combat capabilities.

The two armies met each other and fought hand-to-hand. The rogue soldiers were not frightened, they were used to it.

"Since the general said so, then my subordinates will come up with a stupid idea for the general."

"Also ask sir to advise."

"For the big cart, let the soldiers push the cart filled with soil. The soldiers hid behind the cart to avoid bullets, then rushed to the trench, took the cart with the soil, poured it directly into the trench, and then jumped in to fight.

As long as a few soldiers jump into the trenches and confuse the enemy so that they can't concentrate on shooting, then wouldn't it solve the problem if our brigade pours in like a flood? "

Liu Fangliang's eyes lit up: "Yes, sir, this method is wonderful, sir, you are really talented, I am not as good as me. We will collect the carts tomorrow and execute it."
