Chapter 269 Deng Jiaer’s Combat Plan (Part 2)
"Alan, you should also know that the ultimate goal of our battle plan is to defeat the 60,000 Luo Lin Army that is confronting our East Route Army from the north to the south, right?"
"Ok, I know."
The ultimate goal of Deng Jiaer's battle plan is no longer a secret.
Since Deng Jiaer led all the cavalry of the Eastern Route Army to carry out this operation, rumors have continued to leak out.
At this time, the 5,000 cavalrymen who followed Deng Jiaer in this battle already knew that their ultimate goal was to defeat the 60,000 Luo Lin army.
Although a small number of people felt scared after knowing that the target of their battle was so "scary".
But most people felt very excited after knowing that the goal of this battle was so exciting and exciting.
Deng Jiaer didn't care about the news leaking.
After all, as long as the specific content of the battle is not leaked, it does not hurt at all if the purpose of the battle is leaked.
"Then Alan, you should also know what the deployment situation of these 60,000 Luolin troops is, right?" Deng Jiaer asked again.
"Ok, I know."
Deng Jiaer showed a satisfied smile, nodded gently, and then continued:
"These 60,000 Luolin troops have built defense lines on the north and south banks of the Shunuo River. Judging from the deployment, the commander of these 60,000 Luolin troops, Luo Xie, seems to have no intention of counterattacking us. He only intends to block us."
"I have to say that the deployment of these 60,000 Luo Lin troops is still very good. If we want to attack by force, it is really not easy to break through the defense line."
"But there's a big loophole."
"That is - if deployed in this way, it will disperse its forces."
"There are 10,000 troops and horses in the west on the north bank of the Shunau River, 20,000 troops and horses in the middle, and 20,000 troops and horses in the east. On the south bank, there are 5,000 troops in Laer City and 5,000 troops in Mayin City."
"By spreading his forces like this, he actually gave us an opportunity to concentrate our superior forces and defeat them one by one!"
"It's just that if the entire army is dispatched, it will be easily discovered by the enemy. Therefore, if you want to defeat the enemy one by one, it is not suitable to dispatch the entire army."
"In addition, if you want to defeat the enemy troops one by one, the speed must be fast! Not only must the victory speed be fast, but the transfer speed must also be fast, so that the enemy troops can be eliminated before the enemy's support arrives. Move quickly!"
As soon as Deng Jiaer finished speaking, Alan showed an expression of sudden realization and said:
"Oh! I understand! That's why you asked your brother, Deng Jiaer, for 5,000 cavalry, right?"
"Well, that's right." Deng Jiaer smiled and nodded, and then said, "It is precisely because we have to fight quickly and move quickly, so I only asked sir for the cavalry with the most destructive power and the highest mobility. .”
"But what you are doing is not called 'concentrating superior forces and defeating them one by one'..." Alan smiled bitterly, "You are not concentrating superior forces at all. You only led 5,000 people and went up."
"Yes, that's why when I was explaining my battle plan to my husband, the commander of the 4th Army, and the commander of the 8th Army, they said I was acting recklessly."
"I also think you're being very reckless." Alan nodded with deep understanding, "You want to defeat 60,000 enemy troops with only 5,000 men."
"Actually, as long as the command is correct and the strategy is correct, 5,000 people can also have the effect of 50,000 people. You see, the first battle of my combat plan is also the first step - a surprise attack on Simeon. Isn't it a success? Did 5,000 defeat 10,000?"
After saying that, Deng Jiaer leaned on the map again, and then continued:
"These 60,000 enemy troops are now divided into 5 troops. So my combat plan is actually very simple. To sum it up in one sentence, it is: relying on the high destructive power and high mobility of the 5,000 cavalry troops in hand, we will attack them one by one. Defeat these five enemy units."
"The first enemy army I want to defeat,
It has 10,000 troops and is stationed at Simeon on the west bank of the north bank of the Shunau River. "
"The Simeon Army is the weakest of the three troops stationed on the north bank of the Shunau River, with only 10,000 troops."
"Not only that, when I painstakingly studied the enemy's intelligence and information in that camp, I found that Simeon was also the youngest and least experienced in combat. At the same time, his records were basically smooth battles, and he had never encountered anything. A tough battle to fight.”
"Therefore, I was thinking: Since he is the least experienced in combat and has little experience in facing headwinds, launching a surprise attack at night against him will definitely have the best effect."
"So, I set the first target to be defeated as Simeon, who has the weakest troops and the least combat experience on the north bank of the Shunau River. At the same time, I also thought of a strategy to deal with him."
"The result and process of the battle against Simeon early this morning went smoothly beyond my expectations."
Speaking of this, Deng Jiaer's face showed a bit of pride.
"As I expected, Simeon, who lacked combat experience and faced headwinds, was completely panicked when faced with my night surprise attack. Before he was killed by the commander of the 4th Army, in his position There has been no effective defense and resistance organized, so I can conclude that after seeing the attack on the camp, Simeon, who had never encountered such a situation, must have been so panicked that his head turned white and he finally lost his best chance. The defense time passed, and then he was defeated by the commander of the 4th Army.
"Now, my battle plan has successfully completed the first step! After defeating Simeon's army, Luo Lin's army now only has 50,000 people and 4 troops left!"
"Oh! That's it!"
Alan, who had been listening carefully since just now, nodded seriously and then said:
"Then, why did we go south across the river and penetrate deep into the enemy's territory after fighting Simeon? Which army should we fight next?"
"The reason why I wanted to go south and cross the river immediately after fighting Simeon early this morning was to catch the enemy by surprise and make the enemy confused as to what we were going to do next."
Deng Jiaer said with an intriguing smile on his face.
"There must be many people in the army like you, Alan, who don't understand why we have to go south across the Shunau River and come to the south bank of the Shunau River, but I'm sure - Luo Lin's army must be the same way. "
"This is the effect I want. Let Luo Linjun not understand what I want to do, and then dare not act rashly."
"As for the enemy I have to deal with next..."
The intriguing look on Deng Jiaer's face became more intense.
Then, Deng Jiaer pointed at the map in front of him, pointed at a small square on the south bank of the Shunuo River on the map, and then said:
"We are going to attack the Ou Ren army located in Leer City on the south bank of the Shunau River next!"
"Huh? Going to fight Ou Ren?!"
"Well, that's right, go fight Ou Ren."
"If I remember correctly, Ou Ren holds 5,000 troops and is stationed in Lyle City." Alan's face was full of disbelief, "Our side has already suffered some losses in the battle early this morning. The total strength of the troops is less than 5,000."
"Deng Jiaer, do you plan to use our current cavalry team of less than 5,000 people to attack a city guarded by 5,000 people?"
"um, yes."
"...Deng Jiaer, although I don't know much about the art of war, I still know some basic common sense."
"In a siege battle, if the troops of the attacking side do not have an absolute advantage, forcibly attacking the city can be said to be a suicide! What's more, our current troops are smaller than others, and our side is still cavalry! Deng Jiaer, how do you plan to attack the city with cavalry that has fewer troops than others?!"
"Well..." Deng Jiaer continued to smile intriguingly, "You will know how I plan to attack the city by then. I will keep it a secret for now."
