The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 166 An Offensive and Defensive Battle
Changsun Ji opened the door and entered a room with a plaque from the Military Aircraft Office. This room was the room where Changsun Ji discussed military matters with other generals.

A few days ago, Changsun Ji ordered his servants to buy a door plaque, put the three characters "Military Aircraft Department" on it, and hung it up, thinking that it would be appropriate for them to discuss military affairs in this room.

Although it is not up to par with the Military Plane Department in the dynasty of his previous life, which would pass down thousands of years of accounts to play fees, but the function is the same, and that's fine.

Walking into the room, there is a relatively large rectangular table. On the table is a rectangular container that is slightly larger than the table. It is filled with sand. The shape is full of ravines, and various small flags are planted on it.

This is a sand table specially made by Changsun Ji. The simple hand-painted map on the original map has long been unbearable to Changsun Ji.

It's just that he has been moving places non-stop for the past few days, and the sand table is not easy to carry, so he has been delaying in making the sand table. Now that he has a relatively stable place, he can't wait to give the sand table to him. Manufactured.

Looking at the sand table on the table, Changsun Ji couldn't help showing a smile. The transformation from a map to a sand table is a transformation from a plane to a three-dimensional, a qualitative change.

With this thing, their usual military discussions are much easier, and this small push of sand can vividly express the entire battlefield situation.

Suddenly, at this time, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and then a soldier ran in and told Changsun Ji: "General, it's not good, the Liang army has started to cross the river."

Changsun Ji's face changed, but he calmed down quickly, and told the soldier, "Okay, I understand, you should step back first."

"No." The soldier led the order to leave the door.

After the soldier withdrew, Changsun Ji stared at the sand table on the table in a daze.

The entire sand table is completely separated by a pile of rivers in the middle. On the left are pieces of blue flags, and on the right of the river are red flags. The red flags do not occupy the entire right side of the river, but only A winding line emerges from the sand, slowly extending beyond the sand table.

At this time, there were footsteps outside the door again, but Changsun Ji did not turn his head.

Then, two voices came one after another: "The last general will see the general."

Changsun Ji turned around, and it was the two generals Guo Dingxin and He Zheng whom he had sent to greet him before.

Changsun Ji looked at them with a smile and said, "You guys are here, take a look at this sand table, and now the Liang army is attacking again. How should we defend next?"

As he spoke, Changsun Ji picked up a red flag from the side and planted it by the river, and said to He Zheng and Guo Dingxin.

"Grandma, these little bastards, I feel itchy again, general, let me go, watch me directly turn them over, if one comes, I will kill one, if one pair comes, I will kill one pair." Guo Dingxin waved himself arm, beheaded and said.

Changsun Ji gave him a blank look, feeling a little helpless.Knowing that this guy is a good player in battle, but asking him to make suggestions is as difficult as reaching the sky.

Changsun Ji didn't make things difficult for him, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go to the river to support General Wang first, he doesn't have many soldiers, so he probably won't be able to last too long."

"The last general takes orders." Guo Dingxin bowed his hand to Changsun Ji with a happy face, and turned to leave.

During this period of time, for him, the most tormenting time of the day was staying at the military plane to discuss military affairs, which really bored him, not to say that he was stupid and couldn't understand, but that he was too lazy to use his brain and to think about these things.

After Guo Dingxin left, Changsun Ji looked at He Zheng again, expecting him to make some suggestions.

Looking at Changsun Ji's eyes looking at him, He Zheng pondered for a while and said: "General, according to my subordinates, the Liang army has already made preparations for this battle. For us, the only way to fight them head-on is by using the terrain. fought."

Changsun Ji nodded, and Changsun Ji agreed with what He Zheng said. They have also conducted continuous research on how to better prevent the attack of the grain army in the past few days, but they have not come up with useful strategies.

You have to be strong to strike iron. No matter how good the strategy is, if your own force is not enough, it will be a castle in the air after all in the face of an absolutely powerful force.

Changsun Ji sighed, and said: "Leave some troops to defend the city, and you should also lead your troops to support it, try your best to resist the attack of the grain army, if it is really impossible, then retreat, remember to save as much as possible." Forces, we have to prepare for our own defense of the city."

"Of order." He Zheng nodded and retreated.

Changsun Ji then looked at the sand table again, thinking about things.

After a long time, he finally shook his head and sighed.For their Yangping defenders, this river is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

The advantage is obvious, it can stop the grain army.But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the length of the river is too long. When the strength of the army is not as good as that of the grain army, stretching the front line too long is completely confronting the enemy's strengths with its own weaknesses.

Time passed slowly. Although Changsun Ji stayed in the room all the time, he did not say that he completely ignored the battlefield situation. Every once in a while, a soldier from the front line would come to the city, enter the city with the help of a hanging basket, and come to him. Report the situation on the battlefield.

Changsun Ji also constantly changed the layout on the sand table according to the situation on the battlefield, trying to find out the situation that changed the situation of the battle. However, until night fell, Changsun Ji still did not find any flaws that could repel the grain army in one fell swoop.

Time was running out during the battle. Although he did not reach the battlefield, Changsun Ji could still see the danger of the battle from the crossing positions of the red and blue flags on the sand table.

There were several times when the red flag was almost inserted into the position of the blue flag. Although it was unsuccessful every time and was eventually pushed back into the river again, every time the soldiers of the grain army landed, they would cause huge damage to our soldiers .

It was just a short afternoon, and the combined casualties of the Yangping garrison were several times more than the sum of the previous two casualties. From this data, we can see how hard this offensive and defensive battle was. .

Not only does winter night get dark earlier, but it also gets dark very fast. It took less than a quarter of an hour for the sky to go from slightly dark to completely dark.

The fall of night not only covered the river with a layer of mist, but also shrouded the shore in darkness.
