Chapter 1256: Emperor Taishang's tactics, the courage of the Korean Empire


An army of 100,000 fought on Roman territory, and the daily consumption was enormous.

Moreover, most of Rome has fallen into the hands of the Central Plains Army, the Qilin Legion and the Suzaku Legion, during the war, Dongfang Qiang naturally did not leave too much to the Romans, all the rations were under the control of the military, and the people went to the square on time every day to receive their daily needs.

From the ports of the Central Plains, there are also merchant ships that specialize in transporting grain, grass and ordnance for the army, but they are easily affected by the sea breeze by sea, and they cannot arrive on time every time.

At this point, the Jiaolong fleet does the best, every time they fish, they can harvest a harvest, others use nets to fish, and the Jiaolong fleet uses cannonballs for fishing Just blast a round of shells into the sea, and then go over and pick them up The Jiaolong fleet switched to fishing, which made the soldiers of various legions vomit when they thought of fish, and they really ate too many kinds of fish and shrimp Now that the logistics have been solved, all that remains is how to defeat Rome at the lowest cost.

About this, Wu Shun's thoughts are peeled away That is, the more than 500,000 troops guarding Rome will be solved layer by layer, of course, if Rome is willing to fight a decisive battle, Wu Shun will of course be willing.

After engaging in a battle, Diocletian was reluctant to fight again.

The more people there are, the more powerful the artillery of the Suzaku Legion will be, and no one will be happy to be bombed.

However, the reality is quite cruel, and the various castles and defense lines in Rome do not have the ability to defend against the Pu Yuan cannon When the cannonballs fall, their castle will be shattered In order to cope with the advance of the large army in the Central Plains, Diocletian first chose to use the familiar terrain to disperse the army and confront the Central Plains army in various locations In other words, the Roman army, because of its fear of artillery, chose a multi-point flowering strategy and tactics Their army is not strong enough, but the number is large, and the strength is great In local wars, because of the relationship between numbers, the Central Plains army cannot be completely suppressed, and some places have few soldiers, and they will always fall into an unfavorable situation of passive defense.

However, Rome's strategy coincided with Wu Shun's strategy of peeling off the cocoon Wu Shun was also worried that fighting a large army would cause a large number of casualties in his own battle, and would not weaken the overall strength of Rome.

There are a lot of them, and they are fighting a defensive war, if they can't be pressed to death all at once, there may be a backlash, which is not what Wu Shun wants to see.

Therefore, when Rome changed its strategy and chose to fight a small-scale war with multi-point flowering, multi-faceted restrictions, and pull and containment, Wu Shun was very cooperative.

Why do you say that Because under the order of Wu Shun, the Central Plains army pretended not to adapt to the sudden change in Roman tactics, and actively or pretended to be passive to cede some places to the Romans.

This allowed Rome to regain some territory After recapturing the territory, it is natural to divide the troops, and the more troops are divided, the troops will not be many for each castle to defend, so that if the Central Plains army wants to fight back, it will be much simpler.

"General Dongfang, why did the Emperor Taishang ask Wu Shun to let out so many castles, it was the soldiers who worked hard to fight it."

In the camp of the Central Plains army, Ma Chao found Dongfang Qiang and asked the doubts in his heart.

When others fight, it is all an action to occupy more enemy territory and oppress the enemy army, and when they came to Wu Shun, they did the opposite and took the initiative to give up many castles.

Giving up vested interests, Ma Chao doesn't understand this very well.

"General Ma Chao, the Emperor is using tactics when he does this, and the Romans know that it is tactics, and they will definitely do what the Emperor will do."

Dongfang Qiang explained.

"Tactics What tactics" This time, not only Ma Chao, but also Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Gao Shun all pricked up their ears and were ready to listen to how Dongfang Qiang understood Wu Shun's tactics.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Constantinople has more than 500,000 enemy troops to defend it.

We have a total of 100,000 troops in the Central Plains, and 50,000 are in the Mediterranean, and if we launch an attack with all our might, how long will it take to take Constantinople?"

Dongfang Qiang asked.

"Although it is 100,000 to 500,000, but our ships are strong and artillery, and the soldiers use their lives, if they attack, they can break the city in three months" Zhao Yun secretly calculated in his heart.

"The last general thought that if the Romans swore to defend the city, as long as they had supplies, it would be practically impossible for our 100,000-strong army to storm Constantinople."

Zhang Liaodao.

He had been to Constantinople, where the walls were so strong that the artillery could suppress the Romans, and it was still necessary to fight with the lives of the soldiers to break the city.

The 1:5 gap in the number of people makes Zhang Liao have little confidence to predict.

The Roman army naturally couldn't defeat them in the field, but now the Romans are desperate to defend their capital.

"There are so many Roman troops concentrated in Constantinople, even if we stand still and let us kill, we will kill for a long time."

Ma Chaodao.

That's 500,000 people, not 500,000 pigs, give some time, the Central Plains army does have a way to win, but it will also pay a huge price for it.

And Wu Shun has never liked to make indifferent sacrifices when he fights, which is known to every general in the army.

"The Emperor also knew that he could win by storming the capital of Rome, but this would kill many soldiers in their hometowns, so the Emperor chose to use tactics."

Dongfang is strong.

He was the first to follow Wu Shun to fight the world, and none of the generals present could gather as much as Wu Shun's temperament.

"Then general, you should tell us what is the beauty of the Emperor's tactics."

Ma Chaodao.

He has always liked to fight hard, crush his opponents with a strong attitude, and his understanding of tactics is not so keen.

"It's rare for General Ma Chao to ask, and the general will talk about my assembly."

Dongfang Qiang said with a smile: "The Emperor Taishang took the initiative to retreat, or let us feint and surrender some more important castles to Rome.

With these territories, Rome must divide its troops to garrison them to limit and block them.

Because with those castles in the middle, we can't directly threaten Constantinople.

However, they overlooked one thing" "Is it an unintentional division of troops that weakened the defense of Constantinople?"

asked Ma Chao.

"Yes, Rome divided its forces into castles, and naturally its forces had to be divided.

Once the division of forces, their defense of Constantinople was weak, and the defense of the other castles, because of the division of forces, would not be very strong.

Dongfang Qiang smiled.

"Then when we attack again, will they abandon the castle on the outskirts of Constantinople and hold on with all their might, if so, the Emperor's tactics are not useless," Zhao Yun wondered.

"Zilong, what we can think of, how could the Emperor Taishang not think that besides, the Romans regained the lost territory from us, and it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to give it up again, that is what they regard as glory" Dongfang Qiang said.

"It's not for nothing," Zhao Yun insisted.

Indeed, this situation will occur, and if the Romans are clever enough to deal with it in this way, then the Central Plains army has no other better way than to storm it.

"Zilong, we will continue to retreat, so that Rome can continue to divide its troops" Dongfang Qiang said.

"Returning" the lord will find it incredible.

"Yes, the Emperor meant to draw the Romans out of Constantine, using our voluntary withdrawal as a bait to induce Rome to divide its forces into various places.

After that, our Central Plains army, with the Qilin Legion as the main force and the Suzaku Legion as the auxiliary, quickly attacked Constantinople and destroyed Rome As long as Rome is destroyed, the armies everywhere are scattered and there is no need to worry.

This kind of tactics was called by the Emperor Taishang -- "the strong way of the East."

At first, when Wu Shun told him about this tactic, he was still skeptical, but after careful deduction, he found that the success rate of this tactic was very high, and the casualties would be much smaller.

After the Romans divided their forces, they launched a surprise attack with their soldiers, and it was difficult for the Romans to react quickly.

Even if you react, it's too late.

If the scattered Roman army attacked the rear of the army, don't forget that there was also a navy of 50,000 men in the Mediterranean The navy of the Central Plains is not only invincible on the sea, but also a rare elite when it comes ashore.

"After listening to the explanation of the Dongfang general, it was like an initiation, which made the last general suddenly open," Gao Shun arched his hand.

"The Emperor's tactics are really a conspiracy," Zhao Yun said.

Wu Shun did this, even if the Romans knew that it was a big hole, they had to jump because they were fighting the Great Patriotic War, and how could they not do such an inspiring thing as repelling the invading army The Romans will recover every castle that was ceded by the Central Plains as soon as possible, and at the same time promote the glory of Abdul in it Wu Shun calculated the virtue of the Romans to formulate this tactic of delaying his own time.

"Generals, since you have comprehended the tactics of the Emperor, in order to take Rome as soon as possible, please work hard."

Dongfang Qiang bowed to a few people.

"The last general will do his best to live up to the emperor, and the emperor expects" the generals replied.

"Hahahaha" In the tent, the general's hearty and heroic laughter came, and when they heard this laughter, the soldiers were extremely energetic Every time the generals laugh so loudly, a hearty battle will come When he heard the battle, he was talking about the soldiers of the Central Plains Army The capital of Rome, Constantinople.

Abdul called Diocletian and asked him to advance first.

"Your Majesty, this is the trap of the Central Plains, and we can't fall for it" In the face of Abdul's order, Diocletian first had his own opinion.

In his opinion, the Central Plains army suddenly retreated, and suddenly it was so unbeaten, there must be some ulterior motives in it.

If they boldly advance the army, they will definitely be hit by a sudden blow from the Central Plains army, and this blow will definitely be fatal.

"Your Excellency, our speed cannot be slower than that of the barbarians, and now outside Constantinople, the barbarians have captured ten castles from the Central Plains, and your soldiers have not moved yet, I am angry," said Abdul.

On his territory, the barbarians have anti-guest tendencies, which is unforgivable.

"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean, but I'm really worried that this is a conspiracy of the Central Plains, and my proposal is that if the barbarians are not counterattacked by the Central Plains, then we can accept the castle in the hands of the barbarians as the master, and let the barbarians continue to advance."

Diocletian suggested first.

His suggestion was relatively safe for Rome, so that the barbarian army could interview and probe in front, and if something went wrong, the barbarian army would suffer first, and they would have time to react.

"Your Excellency, you must know that the barbarians are our friends now, and I don't want you to take advantage of them like this," Abdul said.

He was right, now the barbarians have done them a great favor, and if they take the liberty of taking those castles back from the barbarians, I am afraid that the barbarian leader will be displeased.

The foreign enemy is still eyeing them again, and Abdul does not want to make them feel guilty because of a few castles.

In summary, the barbarians were their own people, and the battles and strife between the barbarians and the Romans could actually be seen as internal strife.

And the people of the Central Plains, that is, the male lion from the east, if they are not careful, they may swallow them "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean, and next, I will ask the soldiers to speed up the recapture of the castle."

Diocletian said first.

He knew that his proposal was the best, but Abdul's fears were not unfounded.

The barbarians are now the allies they must try to woo.

There was no way, Diocletian could only divide his troops and go to recapture the castle in the hands of the Central Plains.

This soldier, once divided, will be out of control More and more castles were ceded by the Central Plains army, and the number of armies distributed by the Roman army increased, and the defense of Constantinople plummeted "Your Excellency, dear commander, I think I know why the Central Plains army has suddenly shrunk."

One day, Abdul happily approached Diocletian to share the good news he had just received.

"Your Majesty, what is it that pleases you so much?"

asked Diocletian.

"Oh, you can take a look at this first, that's good news."

Abdul handed Diocletian a piece of cloth, and the cloth was filled with dense small letters.

"Your Majesty, this is really good news" After reading the content on the cloth, Diocletian also became excited.

"Yes, this news is the reason for the sudden contraction of the Central Plains army, and they want to go back to part of it to suppress the rebellion" Abdul Road.

The content on the cloth is that the Eastern Qiangbo State of the Central Plains has a civil strife and forms a new country, and this country is not ready to respect the Central Plains as the suzerain, which angers the current Emperor Wu Hao of the Central Plains.

Wu Hao asked Wu Shun, the emperor of the Central Plains, to use troops against the state of Fan to suppress it, and Wu Shun also agreed.

"Speaking of which, the newly established small eastern country really has the guts, and it actually says that the Confucian saints in the Central Plains are theirs, and the Dragon Boat Festival in the Central Plains is also theirs, and in the words of the Central Plains, it is a bit of a self-inflicted death."

Diocletian laughed first.

He didn't know where the small eastern country called the Korean Empire got the courage to dare to scare his suzerain
