Chapter 2060: Seeking Lu Long (Part 2)
Chapter 2058: Seeking Lu Long (Part 2)
"But the grain warehouse is within Lulong Pass, and our army cannot fly. How should we burn it?" Jia Fu asked in confusion.
Qin Hao smiled confidently and said, "Our army''s new bed crossbow, the eight-ox crossbow, can have a maximum range of three miles."
"This range is not enough. Even if the ejection method is used, it still cannot shoot the grain warehouse inside Lu Longshu." Sun Lingming asked with a frown.
"It''s really not enough, but what if you''re condescending?"
After saying that, Qin Hao and Gongsun Xuanyuan looked at each other and saw that the other party''s eyes were full of admiration. It was obvious that the two of them were thinking of going together.
"His Highness Qin''s words are right. The Eight-Number Crossbow is the farthest-range bed crossbow in the world. But even if the method of ejection is used, it will not be able to shoot into the grain warehouse in the pass. But if you are condescending, it will be different."
As he said, Gongsun Xuanyuan pointed to a mountain in Yunshan on the right side of Lu Longsai and said, "This peak is nameless and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to climb. Even if it climbs, it cannot accommodate too many people, but it is the closest mountain to Lu Long.
When the Xianbei attacked Lu Long, they sent troops to occupy the mountain, but found that the mountain could only accommodate dozens of people to climb up, and this number of people could not threaten Lu Long''s city defense at all, and it would be left alone.
If the Qin army occupied this mountain, it would be condescending and with the advantage of the wind, the range of the Baniu Crossbow could be fully shot to the grain warehouse. Even if there were not many people climbing the mountain, the purpose of burning grain could be achieved. ”
"General Gongsun is worthy of being the number one general in Youzhou. It is indeed a good plan, a good plan."
Zhang Liang applauded, then spoke, and said, "But the real focus of this plan is not how to burn the grain warehouse, but how to lead the army outside Lulong Pass, how to support the defenders inside the pass to collapse on their own after burning grain, and how to resist the two-way attack from the Qing army."
As soon as Zhang Liang said this, the generals who had already breathed a sigh of relief couldn''t help but become nervous again.
Yes, cooking grain is just a step. If you want to get to this point, there are at least three prerequisites, and these three conditions are not simple.
First of all, how to lead the army to Lu Long, this is difficult to do at present.
You should know that there are fifty Qing army camps and two county towns between Lu Longsai and Qin army.
It is impossible to bring the army to Lulong''s gates without disturbing the Qing army, without disturbing the Qing army, across fifty Qing army camps and two county towns, nearly a hundred miles away, unless the Qing army is collectively blind.
Even the first step cannot be completed, let alone the other two steps in the future.
As soon as he thought of this, all the generals were disappointed and were in vain.
"It is impossible to get there by land, but what if you go by sea?" Gongsun Xuanyuan asked back.
As soon as this statement was made, the generals once again ignited hope.
Yes, it’s not possible by land, they can still walk by water.
With Zhou Yu''s Qingzhou navy, you can take the sea route and transport the army to the rear of the Qing army, and then attack Lu Longsai, cutting off the Qing army''s retreat.
This time, Zhang Liang did not refute, but shook his head. Zhuge Liang stood up and took over the conversation and asked back, "General Gongsun, do you know the third Hetao battle between our army and Yuan Meng?"
Gongsun Xuanyuan was stunned. He didn''t understand why Zhuge Liang asked him this, but he answered truthfully: "Of course, he knew that in the third Hetao War, it was Zhuge''s military advisor who led a surprise troops to detour for thousands of miles and attacked on both sides that he regained Zhenbei Pass again, completely cutting off the retreat of Temujin''s army, thus allowing the Qin army to win the third Hetao War."
"Lulongsai is the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty, and with the lessons from Yuan Meng in front, Nurhaci will definitely attach great importance to Lulong''s defense to ensure that our army will not have an opportunity to take advantage of it."
At this point, Zhuge Liang looked at Gongsun Xuanyuan''s eyes and said slowly: "The sea-travel tactics have been used as early as the Qingzhou War. General Zhou Yu had already used them. General, do you think Nurhaci''s shrewdness would have no defense against the Qingzhou naval army?" Gongsun Xuanyuan was stunned and frowned. Zhuge Liang''s words hit his heart, and then stared at the distribution of troops in Youbeiping, Liaoxi and other places on the sand table.
A long time later, Gongsun Xuanyuan showed a sudden look and smiled bitterly: "No wonder Nurhaci divided the army so scattered. It turned out that he was guarding against the navy to seize the way out."
“Yes, this is the main reason why the Qing army dispersed its troops and turned offensive to defense.
He knew that our navy could attack his rear at any time, and in order not to be attacked from front and back, he turned to attack and defense.
Now Nurhaci has set up beacon towers along the coast. Once the navy really lands behind the Qing army, or even the Liaoxi County, it will soon fall into a situation of being surrounded by various Qing troops.
Therefore, although the sea road can be walked, it cannot be done, which is also a dead end. ”
Hearing Zhuge Liang''s words, Gongsun Xuanyuan''s face became even more bitter. He turned his head to look at Qin Hao and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, now Xuanyuan understands why the Qin army can win every battle. With a wise man like Kong Ming and Mr. Zifang, he will not make any mistakes in marching and fighting. How can there be a reason to defeat the war?"
"Haha, I also believe that it is my blessing to be able to get the assistance of all military advisors."
Qin Hao laughed, but Zhuge Liang and other advisers said in unison: "It is also our blessing to assist the lord."
"Okay, you military advisors don''t have to be too humble."
Looking at Qin Hao and the counselors, who looked harmonious and trusting the king and his ministers, Gongsun Xuanyuan felt so envious.
If any of these strategists come to assist him, he may not have reached the point he is now.
"Your Highness, the King of Qin is now unable to travel by sea and land. It seems that it is impossible to take Lu Long before defeating the Qing Dynasty."
Gongsun Xuanyuan said with a look of gratitude. He originally wanted to make up for his mistakes, but he didn''t expect that the plan would have such a big flaw. Fortunately, the Qin army''s military advisor saw it, otherwise he would have been wrong.
“Can’t you walk on the sea?”
A strange color flashed in Qin Hao''s eyes, and he said to himself: "I can''t see it."
Gongsun Xuanyuan was stunned and then said, "But the Qing Dynasty has set up a beacon tower. Once the navy lands, it will be known to the Qing army immediately."
"Haha, except for Xuantu County, which does not rely on the sea, all four counties including Liaoxi and Liaodong are all rely on the sea. With such a long coastline, can Nurhaci still set up beacon towers?" Qin Hao asked back.
"this…"
Gongsun Xuanyuan opened his mouth but was speechless.
Yes, how could the Qing Dynasty set up beacon towers for thousands of miles of coastline?
Qin Hao continued: "Nurhaci set up beacon towers on the coastline of Liaoxi County at most. As for the coastlines of the other four counties such as Liaodong, even if the Qing Dynasty had such financial resources, it would never consume so much manpower.
Therefore, the navy can leap over Liaoxi County and land from Liaodong County. ”
