In the imperial study of Ziwei Palace, the imperial capital of Great Xia. \ Since the Xia army broke through the Hangu Pass defense line of the Song army, the entire Central Plains war situation was very good for the Great Xia Empire, and now the battlefields in the Song and Xia dynasties can be divided into five theaters, namely the Northern Theater, the Luoyang Theater, the Zheshui Theater, the Hanzhong Theater, the Huaibei Theater and the Jiangnan Theater.
Among them, the situation of the Xia army in the Hanshui Theater and the Jiangnan Theater is not optimistic, while the Northern Theater, the Luoyang Theater, the Zheshui Theater, and the Huaibei Theater of the Xia and Song Dynasties are in a state of confrontation.
The map in front of Li Liangzuo clearly marked the future offensive direction of the Xia army, these are the top military secrets of the Great Xia Empire, Li Liangzuo has been standing in front of the map almost every day, it has been three consecutive days, these three days The Military Affairs Yuan of the Great Xia Empire is conducting intense war exercises, with the growth of the Great Xia Empire, the military command system of the Great Xia Empire is also becoming more and more perfect, and its purpose is to ensure the success of each military operation.
"Weichen Li Xiaoren, Li Yanzong, and Gao Wei see Your Majesty," the three of them came in and saluted Li Liangzuo.
"The three lovers are exempt, let's take a seat first" "Your Majesty" Not long after the three of them took their seats, Xiao Fuzi came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the two Zhou adults are waiting outside the hall. ” "Xuan" "Your Majesty has a decree to announce that Zhou Wentai and Zhou Shengcai will meet you."
After the two of them came in, Li Liangzuo saluted and said, "See Your Majesty." ” Li Liangzuo waved his hand at Xiao Fuzi, and Xiao Fuzi immediately retreated with all the eunuchs; After everyone sat down, Li Liangzuo said: "Now the highest military court of the Great Xia Empire has officially been held; Brother Huang, please introduce it to everyone first."
Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, stood up and walked to the map and said: "This operation is the winter offensive of our Xia army, in the case of superiority in various battlefields, Your Majesty decided to organize the formation of a largest joint combat operation in each battlefield, and the three major army corps mainly participating in the war are the Northern Army Jizhou and Bingzhou Army Merger, Yongzhou Army Corps, and Yuzhou Army Corps, which are mainly divided into four theaters, namely the Northern Theater, Luoyang Theater, Zheshui Theater and Huaibei Theater; Its main combat plan is divided into two, namely, company and horizontal operations and combined vertical operations; Let me first introduce the Lianheng operation: the main operational purpose of the Lianheng operation was to destroy the Northern Army of the Song Army, and the main battlefields were located in Julu, Daimyo, Bianliang and Xingyang; In order to achieve this operational goal, the first thing is to form a huge strategic encirclement of the Song army, and this encirclement will have the Yongzhou Army's Northern Route Army led by Huben Li Hu'er to the east to attack Xingyang, and His Royal Highness King Liang led the main force of the Yuzhou Army to the west.
In this way, the eastern and western battlefields of our army can be connected as a line, and all the main forces of the Northern Army of the Song Army will be blocked on the battlefield north of the Yellow River, completely cutting off the supply of grain, grass and baggage to the northern army of the Song Army and the hinterland south of the Great Song River.
The battle plan will be completed within three months, and it is estimated that a total of nearly one million troops will be mobilized, 12 million stones of grain and grass, 700,000 sets of weapons and armor, more than 1.5 million war horses, 200,000 bows and crossbows, 30 million arrows of various types, and more than 5,000 siege equipment such as bed crossbows, rushing carts, and building carts There is a major flaw in this battle plan, that is, our army's encirclement force is insufficient, and the strategic encirclement is very weak, if Zhao Yu abandons the Daimyofu and leads the army south, it is very likely that he will break through the encirclement."
After Li Xiaoren finished saying this series of data, everyone took a deep breath, the total value of so many equipment may require tens of thousands of silver coins; After the King of Chu introduced this, Zhou Wentai immediately said: "Your Majesty, this cost is too huge, how much money does it cost to have so many weapons, even if the empire invests all the taxes in the next three years, I'm afraid it will not be enough."
"Lord Zhou don't have to worry, we have been very well equipped for so many years, and we have most of the equipment, and now we are mainly lacking grain and grass, and now the army needs less than four million stones, and the main thing that lacks grain and grass is the Northern Army."
Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "Let's talk about the second battle plan."
"The second combat plan is a combined vertical operation, this combat plan is mainly divided into two battlefields, of which the western battlefield is mainly concentrated in Zheshui, Nanyang area, its combat strength is all the Yongzhou Legion, the whole operation to Zheshui as the main battlefield, led by General Hu Ben Yongzhou Legion of the North Road Army from Luoyang to the south, storming Fangcheng from the rear to attack Nanyang, Nanyang is the storage place of Wang Kai's army of grain and grass battalion, lost the support of grain and grass, Wang Kai's department must retreat, our army can carry out pursuit operations, and strive to take Xiangyang in one go; The second battlefield is the eastern battlefield, but also the main battlefield, is the key to our army's victory, the first step in the eastern battlefield is our army's cavalry-based bypassing the Song army's key defense of the Daimyofu front, our army's northern army and the main force of the Yuzhou Army from the north and south to attack the east and west of the east and west, the two armies strive to meet in Yanzhou, and then attack the Daimyofu from the flank; In this way, our army can cut off Zhao Yan's troops from the two roads in Jingdong, but there are also drawbacks, Zhao Yan is also likely to take the initiative to abandon the Daimyo's Mansion and go south, so that our army can only defeat the main force of the Song army in the north at most, and it is difficult to annihilate it all, and there is a great difficulty in this operation is Xiao Yuanshan, and now Xiao Yuanshan's remnants are stationed in Qizhou, which is the place where our army must pass; Moreover, it will take a longer time to fight in a joint column, which may take six months or even longer, and the money and food required will be several times that of a continuous and horizontal operation."
"Your Majesty, comparing the two, the old minister thinks that it is more feasible to fight horizontally, so that our army can easily obtain the entire territory north of the Yellow River."
Gao Wei said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo thought for a while and said, "Do you think it is possible to integrate these two combat plans?"
” "Your Majesty means" "Our army will first carry out a joint vertical operation, and the western part will be flanked by the Yongzhou Legion to attack Wang Kai's department, as long as it is defeated, and then the main force of the Yongzhou Legion will be transferred to the east; After the Northern Army and the Yuzhou Army opened the passage, part of the troops were drawn from the Northern Army, and the Liang King Li De commanded the westward attack on Bianliang, so that the main force of the Yongzhou Army could jointly attack the Seed Division stationed in Xingyang and Bianliang, and block the road for the main force of the Northern Army of the Song Army to go south, so that not only could cut off the connection and grain route between Zhao Yan's Department and the Great Song Dynasty, but also cut off its military source; It's just that this kind of operation has high requirements for the mobility of our army, and the first stage must be completed within the next month, that is, the two battlefields in the east and west will meet separately first, and the second stage needs to be completed within half a month, forming a strategic encirclement of the main force of the Northern Army of the Song Army, and it is difficult to say about the third stage; The key issue now is food and grass."
The second update, let's go for a wave if you have a ticket:
