452 Calculations before the decisive battle
Bai Minghe was extremely embarrassed by Yu Qian's words, but before he could fight back, he heard Yu Qian say again: "Although General Zhu died in battle, there is still good news."
"What kind of good news?" Bai Minghe asked quickly.
"The decisive battle is within ten days, and not everyone has a magical weapon like Tianyin. So I can say with certainty that Yexian must be calculated based on time, one side is Shanhaiguan and the other is Ningxia Guard. Then the Ming Dynasty will definitely be in chaos in his eyes, and he will not be able to know the real information."
"Why?" Bai Minghe asked back.
Yu Qian smiled and asked back: "How long do you think you can know about Nanjing without relying on Tianyinji? This is the reason, because you know too much about Tianyinji and you trust this thing from the bottom of your heart. I even suspect that your understanding of Tianyinji is far more than those in Xingshouyuan."
Bai Minghe lowered his head and did not answer.
"Also, all your plans have a prerequisite, that is, you can exchange information at least once a day. Of course, none of this matters. What matters is that you don't understand the real war, the real war before Tianyinji, you may know the strategy and tactics, but you don't know how to fight without Tianyinji!"
Bai Minghe nodded vigorously, Yu Qian said nothing wrong. Without telegram, Bai Minghe really didn't know how to command the army.
You know, if the Ming army is now scattered and if it uses horses to send messages, the farthest will take half a month.
Add to the reply, and a month was wasted on the road.
Thinking of this, Bai Minghe reacted.
"I figured it out. If I figured it out, I don't need to explain it. I guess it's only within five days. The result of my analysis is that he came for us. How are you going to fight?"
Yu Qian didn't explain. Bai Minghe also figured it out.
In ancient times, wars were made in advance and then commanded by generals who led the troops.
There was once a negative textbook that when Sui Yangguang went to war against Goryeo, any combat plan needed to be reported to him. Then the generals in front had almost no rights. The time on the road alone made the Great Sui army wasted countless fighter opportunities. Of course, this was not the entire reason for the failure. It was also an important reason for the defeat of the Great Sui army.
At present, Yexian must have made comprehensive arrangements.
He could not wait for the reply from Shanhaiguan and Ningxia Zhongwei. What he wanted to do was to make the two places confused, and then lead the army straight into the Central Plains again and grab enough things.
Therefore, he didn't care about the situation of the war on both sides. He just needed the Ming army to have weak combat power in front of him.
"Sir Yu, head-on confrontation or big siege?"
"That depends on how ambitious you are, and it depends on our analysis of Yesen. This is a gambling process. Of course, it is a technical gambling." Bai Minghe understood Yu Qian's words, and the two stood up and walked into the big tent.
The telegram signal once again began to fly continuously in the night sky of the Ming Dynasty.
It was destined to be a sleepless night.
Calculate the time and route of attack that may be possible. This is a calculation, and it is also a bet.
The first person who received the telegram was Zuofeng Camp. The telegram had only one order: defend the enemy! The left army was not allowed to support Zuofeng, and the troops sent by each guard to assist him with it without seeking victory, but only to drag the enemy to death.
After receiving the telegram, Fan Liang said to the Ningxia Central Guard General who led his troops to support him: "I guess he found out that the main force was first. The left and right army should have surrounded the enemy behind the enemy, and the front army was responsible for dragging the enemy down. After completing the encirclement, the central army was responsible for the main combat mission, and we..." Fan Liang did not say in detail, but just pointed his hand outside the camp gate.
There are at least 100,000 troops in Tulupan, and the food and grass have not been destroyed.
No matter how few they brought out, it would definitely be enough for the army to eat for another ten days and half a month. In addition, the camels were killed in one battle, and these things could also be used as food. This is the battlefield, not a place that is so particular. Fan Liang even snatched back hundreds of camels' bodies, and camel meat was boiled in the camp.
"No. They don't have much food." The general of the Ningxia Zhongwei was very confident.
Fan Liang was puzzled, and the general of Ningxia Central Guard smiled and said, "General Fan, you are very familiar with Datong area, but I have lived here for forty years and have been here since I was a child. Please come out with me!"
The general from the Ningxia Central Guard brought Fan Liang to a camel's corpse, cut the camel with a knife in front of Fan Liang, and then told Fan Liang about his analyzed views.
First of all, these camels have almost reached their limit, and the water they have stored on the camels has been consumed.
Then camels can not eat or drink for a long time, but this also has a time limit. These camels have been hungry for a long time.
"Also, there is not enough water here, let alone camels, even people may not drink enough, so they cannot go back, even if they bring more food. Next, there is not enough things to burn here, so can raw food be used as food? So what they bring must be cooked food. In this weather, how much cooked food is, how long can it be stored. In addition, there is not enough fire and not enough water, they are already done."
Fan Liang nodded. He really didn't have a high understanding of the desert.
"Please surrender, tomorrow won't work, the day after tomorrow will be fine. General Fan, you have already rescued in Ningxia Guard. In addition, our soldiers, as long as there are more than 30,000 people, they can't stand it."
Fan Liang didn't say anything, and the general said again: "All the credits of this are from your Pioneer Battalion. In this battle, you killed nearly a thousand people and were injured. But the enemy troops who were fighting with such a small number of people could hardly resist it, and they almost lost their food and grass. There are more than 10,000 people on my side, and I guess someone will come tomorrow. My combat power is far inferior to General Fan, but they don't know, so they will be afraid."
This is the reason. The enemy didn't know that the people coming were not as good as those from Fan Liang's side.
Then there seems to be a chance to persuade the surrender.
Fan Liang quickly reported this idea, because there must be a negotiation of conditions for persuading surrender. This condition is not something that Fan Liang can take charge, and even the commander of Ningxia Guard is not qualified. If you ask for instructions to go up the peak, then the Tianyin will explode. Do you dare to do this?
Wuying Palace is now discussing Yesen's possible route and speed.
"Long live, this is a bet. We have three choices, one is a head-on confrontation, which will definitely defeat the enemy, but the enemy will definitely escape after it collapses. According to the idea of the Lord and Bai Minghe, this time we are fighting an annihilation battle, and we must eliminate the enemy's living power."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Bai Minghe's surname is Bai. Wu'an Jun once killed prisoners for the Qin State, and Bai Minghe would definitely kill and injure the living power of Washu for our Ming Dynasty. I support this."
"Long live, if this happens, the first combat plan will be denied. The second is half-encirclement, which may kill a lot, but this depends on luck. The third type of full encirclement is a death battle. Our army will definitely suffer no fewer casualties, but it will definitely fight the broken tiles and stab people. This battle will at least eliminate hundreds of thousands of enemy forces!"
"Since you want to fight, how can you keep your hand!" Zhu Qiyu supported Yu Qian's battle of the White-Ker siege in principle.
Several veteran generals discussed for a while, discussed with Hu Yi, Gao Gu and others, and then reported again: "Long live, if the calculation is wrong, the left army or the right army encounters the main enemy force, then they may fall into a melee."
I was discussing that a telegram came in.
"Long live, Lord Yu Qian proposed a strategy called Tornado."
"Tell me in detail!"
"Mr. Yu plans to use himself as bait and take 20,000 elite troops to go deep into the grassland now, and then meet the main force of Yexian and be surrounded. Next, the remaining troops will encircle Ye's troops again. This method can most effectively attack the enemy and even wipe out the entire enemy."
Li Xian was impressed when reporting.
Not only Li Xian, but everyone who hears this plan is admired.
I admire Yu Qian's courage and my loyalty for the Ming Dynasty.
But who would have thought that Zhu Qiyu slapped the table hard: "Call back, I'm not allowed!" Zhu Qiyu walked down from the imperial seat a few steps and said directly to the eunuch in charge of the telegraph machine: "Rebuke, I'm not allowed. I don't allow the pillars of the country to take risks alone. This plan is strictly prohibited and cannot be implemented. You can carefully calculate and choose the route of the encirclement."
Telegrams have been occupied here, and Fan Liang’s report cannot be delivered.
And Wu Yingzhan’s connection with the Central Army camp cannot give up any route.
Yu Qian and Bai Minghe sighed at the same time when they saw the call for reprimand. Bai Minghe said: "In my name, power generation is generated. All 20,000 soldiers are elite. The strongest ordnances are gathered in these 20,000 people. They can handle 400,000 people and have a strong attack for half a month. I have enough confidence to face Yesen and die of sleepiness."
Bai Minghe's telegram was sent to Wuying Hall, and Zhu Qiyu was moved and angry.
I was moved by nature because of Yu Qian and Bai Minghe's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. The reason for being angry is that they don't know that I care about them very much. If there is any mistake on my own, this is the loss of the Ming Dynasty.
"Rebuke again!" Zhu Qiyu ordered.
Hu Yi stood up and persuaded: "Long live, don't scold me first. It's better to see what other departments have to say and find an important thing to contact the Central Army. Let the matter slow down and let the old generals come up with an alternative plan. The old minister can understand the deep desire of Lord Yu and Bai Minghe to annihilate the enemy."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "It's reasonable!"
Hu Yi's proposal is more clever. If you insist on arguing, Yu Qian can forcefully implement his plan by using the reason why he will not accept the orders of the outside king.
Zhu Qian used himself as a bomb before and achieved great success. If Yu Qian treated himself as bait, he would definitely force the entire Ming army in the Northern Expedition to a very crazy state, and the soldiers and ordinary lieutenants would only have the determination to fight.
