Chapter 641 Fu Xiwen's magical stroke

"Sand table!"

Wang Ce concentrated his mind, Jie Shixian and other generals also quickly reacted, and all of them were shocked.

The cannon fodder legion has distinct characteristics and is best played in battles with human armies, but is at a disadvantage in defensive battles.

Wang Ce also paid attention to the fact that in offensive and defensive battles, the cannon fodder legion can maximize its efficiency as the attacking side.

However, Fu Xiwen discovered it earlier than Wang Ce and even used it.

"Earlier." Wang Ce glanced sharply at the people behind him and found Tang Zhengyao and others: "Earlier, investigate."

Without saying a word, Tang Zhengyao called out several Wuzong directly, flew up to a height of thousands of meters at extremely fast speed, circling and reconnaissance, and recording all kinds of battle situations one after another.

Wang Cekou pointed and said coldly: "I ask to re-article all the enemy situations since the afternoon and the Shangyang Army launched a full-line offensive."

Several military officers quickly sorted out the information on the war between the two sides from the afternoon while dictating it.

While listening carefully, Wang Ce focused his mind on the sand table and suddenly said, "Sir, I ask the Beiya to find out the newly appointed commander of the Shangyang Army in the shortest time." Zhu Xiangru nodded and explained.

Jie Shixian and Xiong Shiwu both nodded secretly. Today, Shangyang Army counterattacked across the board, and his style was obviously different, so he must have changed his commander.

"In addition, how many will Emperors of Will in Shangyang are there? Have you secretly recruited other Will invaded Emperors of Will? Have you secretly sent Emperors of Will in reinforcements?" Wang Ce raised his head, and everyone looked stern.

Everyone knows the relevant and irrelevant things. If Shangyang wants to win the battle of hegemony in Dongzhou, the best and most direct way is to kill Wang Ce. Wang Ce knows it, and Fu Xiwen knows it too.

Zhu Xiangru said in a deep voice: "So far, the Northern Yaya has only discovered and confirmed that three will-Wu Emperors have served Shangyang one after another. Two of them are in the Shangyang Northern Legion and one stays in Shangyang. No traces of the other party going north have been found."

Wang Ce nodded, Shangyang was lucky. There were only about seven will-Wu Emperors in the entire East Continent, one of which was from Shangyang's country, and three were in the south, in the occupied area of ​​Shangyang.

"Wait a minute." Wang Ce suddenly stopped, and the military officer who was dictating was stunned: "Say what you said before again."

The military staff nodded in surprise: "It is estimated that since the offensive launched in the afternoon, there have been between 120,000 and 150,000 casualties in the middle of Shangyang, 70,000 casualties in the east, and 60,000 casualties in the west, 80,000 casualties in the west."

Wang Ce looked up and looked at Jie Shixian, and said in unison: "Attack the middle lane?"

No way. Fu Xiwen's mind was in trouble? Wang Ce was surprised. The Shangyang Army had the strongest troops in the middle, while the Northern Tang Army was the weakest in the middle. However, Wang Ce in the middle means the powerful war spirit army that annihilated the Dashi Army.

At first glance, the Northern Tang Army's middle lane is the weakest, but it is actually the strongest. Attacking the middle lane is definitely a dead end.

Pressing the doubt, Wang Ce carefully examined the sand table: "The current horizontal width of Shangyang Army? The depth thickness? Is there any major change today?"

"Yes. Before today, the Shangyang Army had a horizontal width of 600 miles and a depth of 300 miles." The military officer was very competent, remembered the data well and said casually.

"From noon, Shangyang Army counterattacked the entire line, and the horizontal width was reduced to 500 miles and the depth was 200 miles." While speaking, the military staff officer moved slightly and faintly realized something was wrong.

Military affairs counselors are generally quite assistants. The generals are responsible for handling miscellaneous and related military affairs. The power depends on how lazy the generals are.

The same is true for military officers, who are quite the role of chief of staff and military staff, and even provide advice on the war. How much power can you have depends on the main general. When encountering a main general like Wang Ce, there is basically no room for performance.

In general, military aircraft staff generally have excellent military qualities and even military talents. Guan Jinyun, who was promoted by Wang Ce, had served as military aircraft staff before.

"Shrinked half." Wang Ce narrowed his eyes. On the first day of the battle, the horizontal width of the battlefield was about a thousand miles and a thickness of about five hundred miles: "Today, did it shrink again?"

"What does Fu Xiwen want to do?"

Wang Ce was like a hunting dog, sensitively sensing extremely strong anxiety.

...

...

“The horizontal width of the battlefield?”

"Four hundred and eighty miles."

"Deep?"

"Two hundred miles."

A smile appeared on Fu Xiwen's pale face. He walked out of the camp, looked up at the dusty sky, and pinched his fingers hard, almost bleeding: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer!" No one knew how much perseverance he used to resist and not launch the general attack immediately.

"I order that at any cost, I should pay close attention to Wang Ce's whereabouts and not be allowed to leave his whereabouts at all."

No one knows how important this is to Fu Xiwen and Shangyang Jun. Someone reported: "Wang Ce is in the middle for the time being and shows no sign of activity."

Fu Xiwen smiled happily, and there was no better result than this. Wang Ce did not find any signs or discoveries, but did not summarize them and combined them to discover his purpose.

"I order, east and west, continue to reduce the horizontal width."

Fu Xiwen breathed out, the vast white was not very obvious in the night. No one knew how afraid of Wang Ce. Perhaps only by colliding with Wang Ce on the battlefield in person can we find how difficult this opponent is.

"I didn't expect that a young man who had almost never been on the battlefield showed such amazing military talent when he was on the battlefield for the first time." If anyone knew that Fu Xiwen, a top general in Jiuzhou, admired Wang Ce so much and was so afraid, he believed that all the controversies about Wang Ce would end.

"Horizontal, deep." Fu Xiwen sat on the stone without manners and smiled bitterly.

On the first day of the battle, Wang Ce asked the east and west roads to either expand the horizontal front or compress. Fu Xiwen actually didn't pay attention on the first day, and later discovered that he was in a dilemma.

Wang Ce never said why it should be expanded or compressed. Fu Xiwen never told his subordinates how big the crisis is hidden here. Perhaps only Wang Ce and Fu Xiwen were in the north and the other was in the south, but they were tacitly aware of each other.

Expanding the width and thickness is equivalent to diluting the Shangyang Army's forces on the vast land, which seems to have a broader strategic maneuver space. However, Wang Ce also has the space to launch the Battle Spirit Army.

Once the War Spirit Army is launched, the Shangyang Army can be easily divided into countless parts, surrounded and swallowed by waves.

If the width and thickness are reduced, the Shangyang Army's troops will definitely become denser. Wang Ce has no room to launch a battle spirit army, but he can launch a frontal attack, forcing the Shangyang Army to bear the consequences of dense troops. There is no need to explain that dense troops means greater casualties.

Moreover, it will lose enough strategic marching space. The worst thing is that once the width and thickness are reduced, Wang Ce will have to surround the Shangyang Army, and the war spirit army will be less needed.

That is why Wang Ce gave a strange order to both the East and West on the first day of the battle. He either forced the Shangyang Army to expand the width and thickness, or reduce it.

Whether it is expanded or reduced, it is obviously due to Wang Ce's preference for annihilation war.

No one can know Fu Xiwen's depression except Wang Ce. Whether it is expanded or reduced, it will be absolutely unfavorable to Shangyang Army and it will be in a dilemma.

Wang Ce was also very depressed when he met a powerful opponent like Fu Xiwen. Just like today, Fu Xiwen emphasized space and depth more than once, forcing Wang Ce to be unable to launch the War Spirit Army.

And this is the embarrassment encountered by Wang Ce's expansion and shrinking strategy. Fu Xiwen chose to narrow it in a small range, but always maintained a certain space. From beginning to end, he did not give Wang Ce any chance.

Fu Xiwen didn't give Wang Ce a chance, but he couldn't withstand the terrifying number of cannon fodder legion.

Until today's battle, the outside world may still be evenly matched. In the eyes of most people, the Shangyang Army showed a trace of defeat.

Just like Wang Ce has been deliberately delaying and fighting slowly, fighting while fighting, waiting for Dongning to join the war. His attitude obviously shows that he has a full grasp of this battle.

Fu Xiwen knew very well that the Shangyang Army was defeated in this battle. Wang Ce's mysterious powerful spiritual army only appeared in the middle a few times, and there were no large-scale warfare yet.

Defeat is a failure. What method is used to fail and what is the result of failure? Is it a tactical failure or a strategic failure?

There are differences in failure. What Fu Xiwen needs to do is to win in defeat.

"I'm gambling." Fu Xiwen murmured to himself. He didn't know Wang Ce's comments today, thinking that he was gambling and playing with fire.

“It’s time.”

His pale face became paler. Fu Xiwen slowly stood up, his eyes as dazzling as the sun: "Come."

"I order, the first, second, third legion, the eleventh, twelfth legion."

"And... the 21st Legion, assemble on the spot!"

"Yes!" The military counselor was in a hurry and agreed loudly.

No one noticed it. Fu Xiwen's voice was vaguely trembling, and his face became paler and terrifying: "I order that all the Wu Emperor, Liuli Wuzong, and the scholars of all the scholars gather together."

"Okay." Emperor Meng Wu did not hesitate.

Fu Xiwen ordered slowly and hoarsely: "I ask that the above seven legions and everyone must complete the assembly within a moment."

"Yes!" the military counselor replied loudly.

Fu Xiwen had a complicated expression and re-explained: "Sentence, from now on, there is no need to hide or be afraid of exposure. The width of the battlefield will be reduced on a large scale. The rear army will press forward and the thickness of the battlefield will be reduced."

"I require that the east and west routes must shrink the width of the front line to 400 miles within half an hour. The rear army will press the entire line, and the depth of the battlefield must shrink to 100 miles."

"Within two hours, the width of the battle line must be reduced to within 300 miles, and the depth of the battlefield must be reduced to within 80 miles. If it cannot be done, it will be punished according to the illegal order and will be dealt with by military law."

"After the seven armies were assembled, they moved to the east within half an hour."

"After half an hour, the three eastern and western routes launched a full-line attack and launched a third-stage battle. In this offensive, you are allowed to advance but not retreat. Anyone who is unfavorable in the battle and who dares to retreat will be executed on the spot."

Fu Xiwen's face flushed and he coughed violently for a few times, and waved his hand tiredly: "Go."

"The decisive battle is just tonight. Before dawn, we will definitely see whether it is success or failure."

The third phase of the battle initiated by Fu Xiwen himself was considered by later generations to be the "spike of God" that showed the most famous general's style in the battle between the north and the south.
