Chapter 608 The Battle of Destroying Yan ([-])

"As expected, Murong Ke is tightening up his troops."

There are many people standing around the huge sand table. The sand table is a reduced version of the mountains and rivers of Yan State. The upper areas are filled with small flags representing the enemy and us.

Because it is a reduced version of the sand table, you can see the changes in the battle situation in detail, such as the distribution of the enemy and the enemy on the Qiushui battlefield, and the "our army" in other areas and the detected enemy positions. The "our army" has detailed and accurate data on the strength of the troops, and the enemy can only determine who the commander is but cannot achieve accurate data.

In fact, this sand table was not created when the Murong Yan country was invaded, it was made long before the invasion of Murong Yan country, and more than one was made.

The Taiwei Department has been conducting deduction on the sand table with the same arrangement. After a long period of deduction, it has almost "demonstrated" all possible things.

To put it simply, how to invade Murong Yan country has been deliberated long ago. It is not a matter of waiting for the army to enter the predetermined position and launch the invasion before they can do things freely. The army has already planned what will happen in advance.

Of course, the military chess deduction is just to deduce what may happen, not to say what the development process of the war will really be like, what kind of development will be encountered and what kind of plan will be used.If you encounter a "scene" that did not happen during the deduction, you still have to react accordingly.

In modern times, rich people have their own planning teams, countries and top consortiums have think tanks, which are dedicated to making plans for what will happen in the future, or to carry out a certain thing, repeatedly deliberating and researching countless possibilities There is not only one set, but a plan no matter what happens.What they do is definitely not idle.

In many cases, being prepared and not being prepared are two different things, especially a war that has been repeatedly deduced in advance and not doing anything are two different concepts.

Liu Yan laughed a few times and said, "Use the No.30 seven sets of plans."

On the matter of invading the Murong Yan Kingdom, the Han State made hundreds of big plans, and under each big plan there were a large number of small plans. A man with extraordinary intelligence came to slap his head.

It wasn't just the invasion of Yan that would do that. In fact, the relevant systems had already been established before the Han army went south, but every new business had to have a development process, and it was gradually improved through exploration.If the Han army was still immature when they attacked Li's Chenghan and the small courts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, after two or three years of development, it has matured.

Xu Zheng was a little puzzled now.Since conducting deduction before the war and preparing plans for possible events in advance, he has found that the importance of the commander has been decreasing again and again, and he doubts whether there is a need for the commander if the development continues like this.

Seeing Xu Zheng's depression, Sang Yu said in a low voice: "Although there are countless deductions, but after something happens, how to react, whether the reaction is fast or slow, can still determine the outcome."

Not only Xu Zheng could hear those words, but the people who heard them had their own expressions and attitudes, but they had to agree with Sang Yu for speaking clearly.

It is very clear that people who make up their minds will never disappear, and wars will not require a commander because there are countless sets of plans in advance.After all, no matter what preparations have been made in advance, when to respond, and whether the time to respond is timely, the same thing can still lead to different results.

However, one fact has to be seriously admitted, that is, the importance of the commander has been reduced because of the relevant plans made in advance through collective wisdom and efforts, which also indicates that the threshold for the commander is no longer so high.

That's the reality, Ran Min is smiling very happily now.He belongs to the kind of person who has a keen sense of smell before the battle, but he doesn't necessarily care so much about the surrounding terrain before the battle, and he doesn't know what to do in advance.For a person like him who relies on intuition to fight battles, he is extremely dependent on the think tank team. The military system of the Han Dynasty is only good for him and not bad at all. Naturally, he is so happy that he grinned to his ears.

The sudden large-scale invasion of the Han army with the convenience of Rushui's water transportation was a change brought about by the battle situation on the northern front. Sooner or later, Murong Ke would know the drastic changes on the northern front. The normal reaction would be to leave the necessary blocking troops, Then pull back.

The same is to leave the blocking troops and then retreat, what kind of mentality to do the same thing will have different effects.The reaction to knowing what happened is completely different from the reaction under suspicion.

Don't underestimate what you do based on your mentality. When you do the same thing with a different mentality than a doubtful one, determination and hesitation will cause a time gap in doing things and whether you are determined or not. In war, even if you are hesitant. Seconds will produce serious consequences, not to mention the contrast caused by different wills.

The troops that landed from Rushui came from the garrison army on the territory of Liaodong Han. It was Liu Yan who landed in Liaodong early and occupied the peninsula, and then continued to erode the territory of Murong Yan. The defense army has been in a state of war.

The number of Liaodong garrison troops has always been maintained at more than [-]. No matter how the Central Plains war is, they have never been transferred, and they have never been included in any shogunate sequence. It is the only frontier army in the Han Dynasty. force.This army has been in a state of confrontation with Murong Yan's army for a long time, and it should be the Han army who knows Murong Yan's tactics best.

At present, the Han Dynasty has kicked off the prelude to the war of destroying Yan. Murong Yan no longer poses a threat to the Liaodong Peninsula. Lu Tai tried to include the Liaodong Peninsula Guards in his shogunate but failed, precisely because the Liaodong Guards were in the shogunate. The associated schemes have their own responsible roles.

If you count the nearly 20 imperial guards, Han has already invested 37 troops on the battlefield of destroying Yan, and even counting the troops of those dependent countries, it is more than [-].

But one thing to say, the armies of those dependent countries are getting worse and worse. Before facing Murong Yan's army, they could carry a wave, and it evolved into a single charge of the mink and leopard cavalry.

The deployment of a total of 37 troops is that 17 troops will be led by Liu Yan on the Qiushui battlefield, [-] soldiers from the northern front will not count the Tuoba generation army who temporarily abandoned the dark side, [-] troops will be deployed under the order of the Eastern Shogunate, and [-] will be transferred to join the Liaodong Garrison. Guards, [-] combined by multiple dependent countries.

These armies are invading Murong Yan Country from multiple directions. Murong Yan Country has the largest number on the eastern front, but the invasion on the eastern front is the most difficult.

"General Conquer East is also difficult." Xu Zheng felt that he needed to say something fair: "The domestic situation in Goguryeo is becoming more and more unstable. Not only is the head of Guizhou in the country constantly in chaos, but the soldiers in the army are also resisting our command. Ji and Silla are also showing signs of deterioration. They are all afraid that after we destroy Yan, they will be wiped out as well."

In fact, the top rulers of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla did not dare to show disrespect to Han, but they indulged the people below to boycott or use other methods to exclude Han.At this stage, all the affiliated countries are about to collapse in the face of Murong Yan's army, which is one of those small moves, and it has evolved into a delay in the speed of supply, which cannot be underestimated by Han.

"They are indulging, and we are also indulging." Ji Chang sneered coldly: "Although they don't do anything, we will be flat, but it is better to be famous."

The current state of Han is not in the same mind as the previous Central Plains dynasty.

The former Central Plains dynasty may not have such great ambitions for the territory, it may be that they were incapable of or resisted the expedition of Lao Shi, or it was more likely that they liked to leave a few younger brothers to kneel and lick, and fell in love with the kind of heaven where people kneel and lick It is because of the attitude of the country that it ignores or appeases those small countries that are clearly perishable, and it can even be said to give preferential treatment.

The Han Dynasty established by Liu Yan was running because of his will. He had a clear goal from the beginning. It must be done to fully recover the old land of the Han Dynasty. The territory of Goguryeo is the old land of the Han Dynasty, and the territory in the north of Baekje is also the territory of the Han Dynasty. The old land belongs to the country that must be destroyed.As for Silla?Goguryeo and Baekje are going to be destroyed, so there is no need to stay.

Liu Yan once made a public speech, thinking that a powerful country does not need allies at all, what a powerful country needs is one target after another that can be eliminated and robbed of resources.

As a matter of fact, a tiger and an elk as friends violate the laws of nature. It is the tiger who kills the elk to eat its meat, drink its blood, taste its bones, and swallow its sinews, making the elk a nutrient for itself. A new hunting target.

What Liu Yan wants is an endlessly aggressive country, and he will continue to develop while the Chinese Miao people are still "chosen people", otherwise sooner or later it will be "God does not take, and he must suffer" fate.

History has repeatedly proved that in the long history, the Huaxia Miao people have never realized the reality that they are the "chosen people", and even fell into a vicious circle constructed by themselves and could not extricate themselves. Playing the big show of changing dynasties, and then in the false supremacy, the head was suddenly hit by a mallet stretched from far away from Europa, and the man was completely devastated.

Liu Yan, who is not a historian, doesn't quite understand what happened in the past dynasties. He only cares about whether he can do it, and whether he can do it or not.

"The gunpowder can be used." Liu Yan's mouth curled into a cruel smile: "Three days, within three days, I will see the so-called defense line of Murong Yan's army collapse."

gunpowder?Liu Yan knew more or less what the ingredients were, but he still didn't achieve it all at once. After long-term experiments and experiments, he came up with the gunpowder with lethality.

This time when the Han army invaded Murong Yan, there were no weapons such as artillery and muskets, but they brought a lot of explosives and things like grenades.

To be honest, it is not necessary to enter the high-end mode from the beginning when gunpowder is manufactured, and the first choice is how to do it as conveniently as possible.The next step is not to make any guns, but to start with artillery.

Liu Yan has some ideas about how to make cannons or the appearance of muskets, but there is no way for him to preside over the entire process. In addition to not having the time, it is also because he does not understand smelting techniques, metal combinations, and even the parts. Composition does not understand.

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone eats pork. What is the distribution of the internal organs in the pig, where can it kill with one blow, and how to decompose pork? How many do you know?

To be more straightforward, modern people are no strangers to bicycles, right?But for someone to make a bicycle from scratch, first of all, the metal ore must be mined for refining, and the quality of the metal must be qualified for smelting, and then the metal is shaped, and the proportion of each part is correct, and the bracket parts are produced. Assembly still needs to experiment again and again.Think about how many processes and steps it is?This is the biggest difference between users and producers.

Liu Yan no longer hides and hides, which indicates that the form of world war has ushered in a sublimation of quality. The first time gunpowder in the world is used in war appears on the Qiushui battlefield...

"preparation!"

"ignition!"

"put!"

One after another, the catapults were no longer throwing stone bombs this time, but some explosives after being ignited.

The fuses of the explosive packs flashed sparks, and they fell to the ground after flying for a while in mid-air. Among them, a soldier of Murong Yan's army was hit and fell to the ground. Of course he felt very painful, and he was killed as expected. The fact that the stone was smashed into a corpse didn't happen, he just felt extremely lucky in a daze, and then a light flashed in front of his eyes in the ecstasy of luck, and he also lost consciousness for a moment in surprise.

Hasty and violent explosions kept appearing in the mountain fortifications. As Murong Yanjun who was bombed, he didn't have much time to express his feelings. Those who died directly died, and more were disabled and deaf. The next moment, the person is not scared to flee, but a kind of sluggishness standing in place.

After the explosion, the battlefield became eerily quiet. From the perspective of the Han army, the complex and solid fortifications had been shattered, and there were gravel and wood brought up by the explosion everywhere. Those with severed limbs, those who were directly at the center of the explosion were vaporized.

"Uh...uh...uh!!!" Ran Min came to the front line out of curiosity about gunpowder, and was frightened by just a wave.After he reacted, he walked towards the stone catapult with a grim expression on his face, picked up a pack of explosives with trembling hands after passing, and muttered incoherently: "Good thing, good thing, but... with this thing, personal bravery ……What kind of?"

Good question, and it was brought up again. For example, the appearance of the crossbow is a blow to the training of martial arts. After all, the bow needs to be trained, but the crossbow can kill people with a child holding it and pulling the trigger, precisely because of the crossbow. The emergence of Warring States evolved from warrior wars to civilian wars. (Those who are curious can check it out)
The weapons used in war have been improving all the time, but it is always people who decide the outcome. Ran Min, who can't figure it out, didn't think too much, but sneered and shouted: "Throw it to me, keep throwing it!"
