Speaking of this solitary sail, turn around. "I’ve thought a lot about what’s coming. First of all, we face a problem that your original plan has been adopted."
Mo Ou nodded and said that Bai Jinghong people were not good at cavalry. The defeat of Su Nanyu lost the best 30,000 soldiers and 60,000 horses, which was a great blow to the original people who were weak in cavalry. In this case, it is really beyond our power to continue to deploy cavalry to fight, considering the tension in the holy corridor and the border between Lebanon and China.
In fact, there is a way to solve this problem. This time, it is no longer a lonely man, but a lonely man.
Gu Zhengfan said slowly, "Even if we can’t chase Tiexue Town, it will be easier to run without cats and mice. Although the world is chasing Tiefeng Banner in the south, I honestly don’t think much of what he wants to deal with Tiexue Town. Now the way is not to let ourselves get up quickly, but to let each other go slowly."
"Let the other party slow down?" Mo Ou nodded, "That’s right, let the other side go slowly. If we want to make Iron Town die, we can’t target the soldiers in Iron Town this time. We should target … horses."
Mo Ou cried at the moment "General means …"
"The grass is broken!" Solitary is sail slowly spit out these four words.
Chapter seventy-one Broken grass discussion ()
cold wind
When Gu Zhengfan said that the grass was broken, Mo Ou had already understood the basic core that Gu Zhengfan had set for the fourth encirclement and suppression.
Here, we must first understand the concept of grain and grass.
Grain and grass are two concepts of grain and grass, and grain is eaten by people and horses. Don’t underestimate these two concepts, and the difference it produces is huge.
At that time, the Shakulun family could carry 12 days’ grain and insisted on 21 days’ ambush. That was because Xiguo was a vast grassland empire, and 10% of the land was covered with grasslands. Horses never worried about not eating forage. Shakulun soldiers could survive the long ambush years by eating half the grain every day with their perseverance.
But it is absolutely impossible for a horse not to have enough to eat.
The sharp cavalry of nomadic people comes and goes like the wind lies in the advantage that this kind of horse can graze everywhere.
Compared with the establishment of a country by farming people, there are mountains, hills, basins, rivers, urban roads, farmland, factories and workshops, and almost no grass grows in these places.
Agricultural people’s innate environment does not have the conditions for grazing everywhere, so their cavalry must bring their own forage if they want to travel thousands of miles to ensure that their horses are not hungry.
The so-called fifteen-day grain and grass limit means grain and grass, and the horse’s appetite is actually quite large
At the beginning, General Li Fei set a record of 15 days of standard educational assault. Not only did the soldiers eat the last bite of food on the last day, but the horses were the same, but Biqing’s raid was carried out with dry food and no forage. Because the raid was held in the rich grassland exhibition and free grazing place, he was not qualified to compare with Li Fei even if he won the raid.
The Jinghong Empire is also a country without abundant forage, and all cavalry must bring their own forage without logistical support.
The more horses you bring, the greater the load, and the greater the influence of speed and endurance.
That’s the point of breaking the grass by sailing alone.
Nowadays, the reason why Iron Blood Town is so vertical and horizontal is that one soldier rides like the wind, and when one horse is tired, it will be replaced by another, which has many advantages in speed than the rainbow cavalry, but let’s go back to the old saying that its strength is its weakness.
This speed advantage is based on double horses, so the demand for forage in Tiexue Town is much higher than that of grain.
It is not too difficult to get food where there are people, but forage is not available everywhere. Moreover, agricultural national war horses have become accustomed to eating their own forage in long-term training, and their ability to find forage by themselves has greatly decreased, which is not suitable for grazing.
A horse can’t run without enough forage. Once the food is poor again, the only way is to kill the horse.
Without a horse, Tiexue Town is like a cripple. It consumes enough energy to fight against people. It depends on its small size, fast speed and agility. Losing a horse is not only small, but also advantageous. People can trample it to death with one foot.
Tiefengqi knows that Diecuiling is a bait, and it is also going to rob the grain and grass team. Its main purpose is not to feed itself, but to find forage for the horses.
After Su Nanyu and his 30,000 cavalry fell, the Jinghong people could not deploy more cavalry to pursue, so that the Jinghong people could use their brains in forage.
The idea of Gu Zhengfan can be said to hit the key point of Tiexue Town once again. It can be said that Gu Zhengfan has further strengthened the resource tightening policy on the basis of obscure European discussions, but the forage and grain are very different. It is more difficult and costly to cut off the forage in Tiexue Town than to cut off the grain. Once Gu Zhengfan implements the nationwide forage cutting system, it means that Jinghong people will send a large number of people to collect and transport the grass and burn the grass. It is to transport the horses and transport the grass by themselves, and to guard the grass is to station heavy troops in the limited grassland area of the country. Burning the grass is a way to take away from France and is not good for stationing in the
This is an extreme manifestation of the scorched-earth strategy, that is, the weak countries adopt a retreat-type strategy in the face of the invasion of powerful enemies. The old saying that leaving no grass and trees behind means cutting grass to some extent. Of course, if it is only cutting grass, it is not a partial retreat. It can be said that extreme measures have been taken in some aspects.
The price paid by the strategic implementation of cutting grass on the surface is huge. Not only will Tiexue Town lose its forage source, but even the people engaged in animal husbandry production in Jinghong will be greatly affected. Some large livestock owners can protect their grasslands by hiring troops to protect them, but it is a luxury for scattered grasslands and ordinary people to be suspicious, so they will face the dilemma of eating their own cattle, horses, livestock and grass
Obscure Europe has finally been thinking about what has been hesitant these days. Obviously, Gu Zhengfan is also hesitating about whether to adopt this plan to deal with Tiexue Town. Now Tiexue Town is like a rainbow, and the idea that it was easy to get rid of Tiexue Town seems naive in the face of painful reality, so he has to consider the worse situation and prepare for it.
"Further tightening resources on the basis of the third encirclement and suppression forced Tiexue Town to lose its speed advantage. Well, if it is really impossible, it can also be adopted." Mo Ou Nai nodded. "But the military needs some new adjustments."
"That depends on the situation in Shijunyang, and then we will make a decision." Gu Zhengfan said lightly, "If Shijunyang can extinguish the iron wind flag and raise our military power, then we can continue to take the initiative to attack the rest of the roads in Tiexue Town, but if he can’t, I will suggest to the Lord to adopt a regional defense strategy."
"Regional defense?" Mo Ou got a fright. Did it take more than half a year for Iron Blood Town to enter Jinghong to force the Jinghong people to adopt a regional defense strategy?
The so-called strategic regional defense is actually the defensive performance of the situation that Shi Junyang adopts the golden section line in the south. Its main action is that big cities around the world will take the initiative to unite to carry out regional blockade and defense work. Compared with the previous three encirclement and suppression campaigns, the strategic regional defense is actually not the fourth encirclement and suppression campaign, but a planned defense, which is to take necessary strategic defense measures against opponents with similar strength.
In the previous three encirclement and suppression campaigns, the Jinghong people took the initiative to attack various cities. Although they were stationed, their main purpose was to prevent the local damage caused by Tiexue Town from causing unnecessary losses. However, regional joint defense means that the military recognizes that the opponent has its own equal strength, so it is no longer limited to attacking the opponent in azimuth, but taking certain defensive measures when necessary, and then weakening the opponent through material consumption to wait for its own death.
To put it bluntly, the reason for static braking is very simple. The Jinghong people are tired and have been running around in the Jinghong people’s house for too long. The owner has failed to get rid of it in various ways. He can sit down and take a rest before trying to find a way.
On the surface, the regional defense is just a means of defense, but its political significance is quite different. Once Jinghong takes this approach, it is tantamount to admitting that it is feasible for them to temporarily fight against Tiexue Town in the military, not only to destroy their opponents, but also to guard against opponents attacking Tiexue Town. Soldiers are trapped in Jinghong, but they have the energy to fight back at any time. Of course, it is best to admit the strength of Tiexue Town, but further adopting a defensive posture is obviously a cautious attitude towards Tiexue Town.
In the eyes of Gu Zhengfan, Iron Blood Town is now a rainbow cancer. At the earliest stage, it was underestimated. He failed to remove it. Now, in the middle stage, he has to consider some means that may hurt himself.
At this moment, Gu Zhengfan nodded and said, "I know you’re surprised, but I’m afraid it can be like this after thinking about it. Now what we have to do is not only to destroy Tiexue Town, but also to be careful that they will attack Europe. I’m worried. I’m worried that there will be any bigger and worse changes in the future. In the face of the tiger in the jar, we have to take certain defensive measures for the first time, so it’s uncertain whether we will adopt a worse posture and tactics in the future …"
Gu Zhengfan didn’t say anything more, but a bigger and more dangerous plan has emerged in his heart. Once this plan is displayed, it will be a real two-injury play. Even if it can destroy the rainbow people in Tiexue Town, it will pay a very heavy price.
He hopes that he won’t go this far, and the source of this hope lies in the south of the stunning rainbow. If the world can destroy the iron wind flag and break one arm, the myth of the invincible iron town will be solved, but once it can’t be done, Gu Zhengfan can sigh and say, "Let me know as soon as there is news from the south."
At that time, Gu Zhengfan did not expect that the southern war situation had undergone a fundamental reversal at this moment.
……
Qiushuidu
The east-west flows to the Meier River, and the water surface becomes spacious here. The water flow is gentle and the water depth is only large, and people and horses can wade through it. At the time when everything recovers in spring, the Woods on both sides of the river are still lush and show a gratifying green.
According to the plan of Shijunyang, the coyote army is going to cross the autumn water in front of Tiefengqi and then wait for an opportunity to kill Tiefengqi. If it is unprepared, the four fields in this area will help cavalry to attack Shijunyang and give Tiefengqi a glimmer of hope, but in the end it is to hang Tiefengqi alive for the advantage of its own 30 thousand troops. His real idea is to make a half-way crossing when Tiefengqi crosses the river.
Compared with Tiefengqi, which is a cavalry, the mountain dog army is a brigade, but it is good at marching in jungle warfare. They are much faster than Tiefengqi in action, so after several days of chasing, they ran to the front of Tiefengqi, which is to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the battlefield and take the initiative to occupy favorable terrain.
Because this area is, after all, the land of the people who are shocked by the rainbow, the world is even, and instead of sending scouts to explore the road ahead, they directly ordered the troops to cross the river and drip water across the original calm river, which became lively as soon as the world was even.
A large number of soldiers jumped into the gentle Meier River and moved to the other side step by step. A few soldiers took off their clothes and played in the river. After many days of running around, they had to use the cool river to wash away their fatigue.
At this time, the coyote army was in the most rare state of vigilance and relaxation in its life, and did not notice that there was an army moving quietly in the small jungle not far from the opposite.
Where did this army come from? How can you suddenly appear in Qiushuidu? No one knows that the coyote army knows that Tiefengqi is behind them, and all they have to do now is to cross the river and then line up and wait to kill Tiefengqi.
When the first troops crossed the Meier River safely, the whole world was still planning a move with great ambition, but in a blink of an eye, the whole world changed color.
A large number of riding teams suddenly rushed out of the opposite forest and roared out of the raging torrent.
The flag fluttered in the wind and waved a huge word "water", which turned out to be Lingfeng flag in the water!
How did he suddenly appear here? Shi Junyang felt that his head would explode as soon as he was humming. However, he didn’t even think about it. He could watch the 5,000 coyotes who had just crossed the Meier River run amok and were killed and scattered.
Six thousand Lingfengqi soldiers suddenly appeared in the mountain dog army with heavy morale. They were originally prepared to ambush the mountain dog army while the iron was hot, but they were suddenly killed halfway. The opponent made a fierce half-crossing and hit the battlefield. The situation became one-sided in an instant.
Although there are 5,000 coyotes who have crossed the river, this kind of floodplain warfare is not that they are good at fighting, and they lack the ability to restrain the cavalry’s long weapons and arms. The coyotes are unable to fight back against the impact of super cavalry roots.
Three thousand fighters turned into nine days. Thunder waved bloody combat knives in the floodplain, and behind them, three thousand bows rode sharp arrows. If they stopped, they were aimed at the soldiers who were still in the river. Several sharp arrows pierced the sky and shot at the water surface of the troops in the river, exploding into clouds of blood.
