From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1068

"We can't go back to Guhewei!"

Andre looked at the map and made the most rational judgment.

He said in a deep voice: "Now there is no road from north to south, no gate from east to west, and there is no choice but to defend. Guhewei is just a simple garrison with earthen walls and stone walls. It can't hold out for half a day under the pressure of the army."

"Even if we have 50,000 or 60,000 people to rebuild the fortifications within a few days, don't forget... Zhou Yuan has artillery!"

"Even if the transportation of heavy artillery is difficult, it will only be delayed by two days at most, which means that starting from today, we will collapse in five or six days at most."

"And even if Commander Gumanyev is very successful and defeats Huang Taiji in three days, it will take at least four days to get here..."

"There is not enough time. Guhewei is a dead end. "

Here, he looked up, pointed to another place on the map and sneered: "Our way to survive! Here!"

Artyom took a closer look, frowned, and asked in confusion: "We passed there yesterday, isn't it a slope?"

Andre said: "Of course, it can also be called a mountain. The mountain is 400 meters high, which is indeed nothing, but... relying on the high ground to hold on is enough."

Artyom changed color and said: "No! I can't do it! It's July 24th, the weather is hot, and the vegetation is lush. Once the other side ignites a fire, our 60,000 troops will all become barbecue!"

Andre said coldly: But the main force of the Jin Dynasty is still more than 200 miles away. It will take three or four days at the fastest. We still have time to do something. "

"Four hundred meters high, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, at least four or five miles... We must cut a hundred-meter isolation belt about two miles above the foot of the mountain as quickly as possible!"

"Then light a big fire and burn all the vegetation below the isolation belt!"

"In this way, they will have no place to hide when they attack the mountain, and we will ambush in the dense forest two miles above, and we can block them with muskets, arrows, and boulders, or we can counterattack from top to bottom and repel the enemy."

Artyom frowned and said, "If the enemy cuts off our water supply, Source..."

Andrei laughed and said, "Such a big river, isn't it enough for us to get water? Haha! At least it will be no problem to hold on for seven or eight days."

Artyom sighed and said, "It's too difficult to stop the attack of so many people."

"Not difficult!"

Andrei narrowed his eyes and said, "Because... Zhou Yuan is a proud man. Facing such a disadvantage in terrain, he needs to sacrifice at least 100,000 soldiers to annihilate our 60,000 people."

"How can a proud man be willing to sacrifice so many lives to kill the enemy? Can it be considered a victory if he exchanges lives like that?"

Artyom thought about it carefully and couldn't help laughing.

...

The general's tent was brightly lit with candlelight in the dark night.

Zhou Yuan drew on the map, and finally determined a location, and said slowly: "Meishan!"

Wang Xiong glared and said: "Where will they be?"

Zhou Yuan said: "To block the way out of the assault corps, we must not be attacked from both sides. The only way Huang Taiji can avoid this is to divide his troops."

"And we must divide the fastest and most elite troops, so that we can delay the pace of the assault corps and press them in front of the Tudu River Guard."

"There is no doubt that it can only be the cavalry of the Yehe tribe."

Shi Yi frowned and said: "That's right, but in this case, Huang Taiji is really in danger."

Zhou Yuan said: "For the sake of the battle situation, he will make a wise choice and will not think about saving his life."

Wang Xiong stood up, walked to the map, and said in a deep voice: "There is a cavalry of the Yehe tribe blocking, and the Tsarist assault corps really can't get through. They dare not get stuck. Once we rush to the battlefield, they can only die."

"In order to delay for a longer time, we can only find a place to hold... After all, the Guhe Guard can't stop us Cannon, you can only find the mountain. " It ’s okay to persist for more than ten days. If the fire attacks ..." Zhou Yuan laughed: "They will cut out the isolation belt in advance and burn the dense forest under the isolation belt in advance, so that we have no chance to ignite." Among them, the most critical part. "" The Point -Is there really a real force, can you eat this point? ", reinforcements are important? "

"Think about this idea carefully."

He stretched and said with a smile: "Go and tell Gao Biao to quickly pull my cannon over! I'm going to use it!"

Wang Xiong and Shi Yi, two old partners, looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. They saw that the general should have a solution.

After the two left, Zhou Yuan lay down on the chair and took a sip of tea.

Dai Si hurriedly walked behind him, pressed his shoulders obediently, and whispered: "Prince, have you thought of a solution?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Have you thought of it?"

Dai Si smiled bitterly and said: "How could I have thought of it? I always thought I was very smart, but when I encountered this situation, I always felt that there was no way to solve it. It seemed like an unsolvable situation."

"They have the advantage of terrain and sufficient supplies. It is obviously unrealistic to want to eat them with less losses! "

Zhou Yuan sighed and said, "Dai Si, war is not as simple as you hit me and I hit you. This is a multi-situation, multi-dimensional calculation. Think about things more complicated, otherwise you will not be able to stand firm when you can really make the decision in the future."

"It's just a simple sentence. What is the purpose of our siege this time?"

Dai Si said, "Of course, it is to eat up the Tsarist assault corps. They are the most elite part of the Tsarist army. Eating them can destroy their overall strategic plan, reduce the opponent's strength, and shake the opponent's military morale. There are benefits in all aspects."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "You are wrong, it's not like that."

"Don't look at the problem so short-sightedly. Our siege this time is a tactical stage of the entire Northern Expedition... But no matter which tactical stage of the Northern Expedition, it is essentially for the entire war. "

"Our fundamental purpose is to defeat the Tsarist invasion army and completely defeat them."

"Raid Corps? 60,000 elite? Damn it, my appetite is not that small! "

"I want to eat big ones! I like big ones! Do you understand?"

Dai Si was stunned for a moment, then moved closer to his body and pulled his head into her ravine.

She whispered: "Prince, are you satisfied with this size?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head and felt the amazing power. He coughed dryly and said: "Not bad."

Dai Si smiled and said: "My mother is much bigger than me."

Zhou Yuan grabbed her hand and gritted his teeth and said: "Stop talking nonsense! You seduce me every day! Today I will collect some tuition fees!"
