20. Four-field battle formation
When Tan Zhizhong solemnly spread out the "Jingyuan, Fengxiang, and Shuofang Four Field Battle Formation Map" personally taught by His Majesty on the table, Duan Xiushi, Gao Yue and Xing Junya, three military envoy-level figures, stood on the edge of the screen and did not dare to approach for a long time.
Tan shook his head and waved his hand, meaning that if you three don’t answer, you have to accept it. Even if the Holy Lord has something to understand, you have to deal with it and arrange troops according to the Holy Lord’s wishes.
Finally, the three of them mustered up the courage to surround the map.
Gao Yue's pupils swung up and down for several times.
Um!?
I saw that the large drawings were full of Li Shi’s “swerving and chastity”:
The red pen drew a big circle at the location of Baiyushan; then a circle at the same size was drawn in Pingliang.
Gao Yue instantly understood that the previous circle represented the Xifan Ma Chongying Group, and the latter circle represented the Xifan Shangjiezan Group.
Then, in the middle of the two large circles, about the area between Yuanzhou and Anlezhou, the emperor drew a huge "x" with strong pen marks and transparent to the back of the paper.
Seeing this picture, Gao Yue almost blurted out, "Isn't this really a game that passes the three levels of tic toe?"
However, what was even more surprised in his heart was that the emperor's "micro-work" this time actually coincided with his original plan!
When he learned that Yanzhou had fallen, Gao Yue quickly used the "blocking tactic". He keenly captured the current situation of the Western Fan army: Shang Jiezan was nailed to Pingliang, while Ma Chongying crossed the dry sea of Yanzhou and went deep into the Qingzhou area.
If you look at the two Western Fan military groups on the drawings, it seems that they are not far apart.
But Duan Xiushi and Gao Yue, who are familiar with Western geography, can see at a glance that the tricks come from.
Before Tan Zhizhong could say anything, Gao Yue suddenly exclaimed and said that the Holy Lord was really "a true god of war."
"Oh?" When Tan Zhizhong was still admiring, Gao Yue and Duan Xiushi, who were quick-witted, tied the "Jingyuan, Fengxiang, and Shuofang Four Field Battle Formation Map" to the screen. Gao Yue then put his finger on the map and analyzed to everyone:
"The capital of the country is Guanzhong, and it is known as the Four Seas. These Four Seas are actually four mountain ranges. Which four are they? There are Qinling Mountains in the south, Baiyu Mountain (i.e. Hengshan Mountain) in the north, Huanglong Mountain in the east, Luliang Mountain in the east, Ziwu Mountain in the west, and Jingyuan in the west. These four mountain ranges are like four walls, surrounding the 800-mile Qinchuan fertile fields. Further west are Longdi and Liupan, which separate Jingxi and Longyou, thus forming several north-south and east-west corridors. Ziwu Mountain and Huanglong Mountain all travel north-south, and Baiyu Mountain crossing the east-west Baiyu Mountain, each forming a crucial gateway - Ziwu Mountain and Baiyu Mountain, which is Yanzhou (now Dingbian County, Shaanxi). From this place
To the northwest, you can connect Lingwu and Helan Mountain; to the south, you can cross Qinggangling and go straight to Bining along the Maling River in Qingzhou; Huanglong Mountain and Baiyu Mountain are Yinzhou (now Yulin, Shaanxi). From here, you can connect Yinshan to the northeast, and to the south, you can borrow Yanzhou Road to the north of Chang'an Weishui. That is to say, as long as you reach Baiyu Mountain, there are only two roads to the capital, Maling River or Yanzhou Road. Now Ma Chongying is walking the former, why? Because if he walked Yanzhou Road, not only would the monk Jizan be too far away, but he was under the double-team of several towns such as Tang Lingwu, Xia Suiyin, Hedong, and Weibei. Therefore, out of caution, Ma Chongying could only walk the Maling River in Qingzhou."
Gao Yue then raised his palm and pressed it in the middle of two red pen circles on the Emperor's Battle Formation Map, that is, the position of the fork, and continued: "Shang Jiezan is now backed by Liupan Mountain, and Ma Chongying walks through the Maling River. It lies across Shang Jiezan, and Ma Chongying has a huge mountain ridge that divides the Yuan and Qing two prefectures. There is a north-south corridor between Liupan Mountain and Ziwu Mountain, which is Xiaoguan Road." At this time, Gao Yue picked up the ink brush and drew a line between the two circles of the monk Ma Chongying Jiezan, but this line is not a straight line at all. Because Ziwu Mountain cannot pass through the large army, it is an extremely curved line, from Maling River, to north to Qinggang Ridge, then bypass Anlezhou, to mingsha, then bend south, pass Xiaoguan, Hulu River, to Guyuan (the location of Yuanzhou), destroy sand castles, and then to Pingliang in Shang Jiezan.
"Well!" At this moment, Duan Xiushi, Xing Junya and Tan Zhizhong nodded, and clearly saw the winding and fragile "connection" between the two major Western-Fan military groups.
If we look at it from the current perspective, Xiaoguanlu and Malinghe were outlined by Gao Yue's ink pen, it looked like a huge inverted "u" shape.
In fact, what Gao Yue said was not groundless. During the Han Dynasty, the Huns invaded, so they took Xiaoguan Road more often. In the 14th year of Emperor Wen of Han, the Xiongnu 140,000 cavalry attacked Chaona, Xiaoguan, killed the commander of the northern Han Dynasty, plundered people and animals, and burned the return to the central palace (that is, Jingzhou where Wu Cailuan was previously stayed, returned to the Wangmu Palace of Zhongshan); in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks launched a second large-scale invasion (the seventh year of Wude and the eighth year of Wude), and they walked the "Yuanzhou", namely Xiaoguan Road, and the joint intersection of Xiaoguan Road and Maling River, which went north, was the important town of the Tang border defense; in the Northern Song Dynasty, Xiaoguan Road was set up as Jingyuan Road, and Maling River was set up as Huanqing Road. Since the Western Xia captured Lingzhou and established the capital Xingqing Prefecture, in order to prevent Xixia from moving further south, these two routes were the most important points of the Song army's garrison. The two sides fought fiercely and fiercely, almost throughout the entire dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"This is simply equal to..." Tan Zhizhong couldn't help but shout.
"That's right!" Gao Yue clenched his fist tightly and slammed it on the four field battle formation map of Pingfeng, which was the "xx" position drawn by the emperor. "Select the elite cavalry to leave Linjing, go up along the Xiaoguan Road, first transfer the Xiaoguan partition road, and then attack the sand castle with foreign soldiers stationed in surprise! There are three benefits in this. One is to cut off Shang Jiezan's left wing and supply line, making Pingliang more isolated. At that time, the Taiwei left Huating and General Xing went out of the court. Pingliang was equal to being attacked from three sides. If Shang Jiezan did not escape back to Longyou, he would definitely be completely wiped out by our army; the other is to occupy the sand castle after the sand castle after the sand castle. Pingliang would be attacked.
, Our Tang army can gallop on Xiaoguan Road, and to the west, you can dig the seven passes of Yuanzhou, occupy Liupan Mountain, and to the north, you can connect with Lingwu and Yanzhou to block Xifan from crossing the Yellow River to invade; three, once you capture the sand castle, Xiaoguan and Ma Chongying's retreat will be cut off, and you will inevitably be trapped in the siege of the four mountains. At that time, Ma Sui, Hun Yu attacked from the east, Han Yougui, Dai Xiuyan attacked from the south, Kang Rizhi, Zhang Guangsheng attacked from the north, and our Baicao Army sealed Xiaoguan until Mingsha, Lingwu's portal, Ma Chongying and the rebel Qiang were still unable to fly even if they were cunning! "
"This is exactly what the Holy Lord thinks!" Tan Zhizhong said happily. The emperor's big x was indeed not wrong. Under the planning of Gao Lian, wasn't this arranged clearly?
Duan Xiushi also stood up and expressed his opinion, "How many cavalry do you need to attack and destroy sand castles? Is five thousand enough?"
"Five thousand elite cavalry are enough." Gao Yue said with certainty.
Later Duan Xiushi was in a dilemma. Xiaoguan Road was lush with grass, so there was no need to worry about fighting horses and eating. The city defense that could destroy sand castles was built for many years. Xifan has always been a nail they inserted in the Yuanhui. If they wanted to rush to attack and pull it out, it would be very difficult if the enemy attacked the grass and the foreign soldiers retreated and defended it.
