He believed that the first world war still required Likin people’s weakness in water warfare to temporarily prepare a water army downstream and intercept the 8 Jin Army’s fleet to transport grain.
Jin people are not good at water warfare, and they have never heard that they have added water troops to the army establishment to transport grain, which must be ordinary civilian workers and grain ships
This gave the Guangfu Army a big fuck.
The Hutuo River is wide, and the Guangfu Army River attacks the Jin Army fleet. The Jin Army can hardly take them, and the boatmen may not be able to compete with them.
They can choose soldiers who are familiar with water and ship operation to make an emergency training to attack the Jin army fleet along the river. They can attack, retreat and escape, but they can’t directly attack the fleet across the river.
It’s also very beneficial that the few rivers recover troops are far stronger than 8 Jin Army.
"My general often says that we should foster strengths and avoid weaknesses in war, and we can’t compare our shortcomings with those of 8 Jin Jun. Our shortcomings are cavalry, gold thieves and water forces, so we should naturally attack the gold thieves with our strengths."
Xin Qiji’s suggestion was taken seriously by Sun Yi.
"Do you mean that we should give the gold thief a heavy blow from the river by the Doddoli water army?"
"yes! We must maximize our advantages! "
Xin Qiji said, "The gold thief Hutuo River will transport grain, and we will turn the river into our river. If we continue to attack, then the gold thief grain will be transported to the front line without grain. How can we fight this battle?"
Xin Qiji and Su Yonglin, who are familiar with cavalry, agree and firmly believe that the biggest death point of this 8 Jin Army is logistics.
Never fight them head-on unless you have to, never foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, but don’t take the last resort if there is a trace of possibility.
The possibility of success in fighting field battles in Hebei Plain by relying on the lack of cavalry uprising troops and elite cavalry is too low.
Before Sun Yi suffered a big loss, he probably felt that he had the strength to fight. After he suffered a big loss, he also agreed with Su Yonglin.
The failure of his elite troops and two love generals relative to his Guangfu Army made him realize the gap between the Guangfu Army and the 8 Jin Army.
Finding ways to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses is king.
"Now I don’t know how many troops the Golden Thief is going to attack our route for providing foodstuff. When attacking me, the main force will move thousands of troops or attack from the front. I don’t think they will change their tactics this time."
Xin Qiji nodded.
"There is no need to change effective tactics. We just need to learn lessons and protect their logistics. Although we haven’t got the information about the gold thief’s re-invasion, we should do what we should do at the right time."
"Well, let’s do it!"
Sun Yi and Xin Qiji reached a high level, devoted themselves to the main transformation, built small warships, found familiar water soldiers, quickly formed a water army and conducted emergency drills, which was very pleasant.
However, the progress of the gradual formation of the besieged dam with the cooperation of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Zhending City is increasing, and it will be completely completed soon.
The nomads from guarding the city became more and more impetuous and worried, and they also sent troops out of the city day and night to harass and try to slow down the progress of the project, but they did something.
There are more and more bodies piled up outside the city, but the dam around the city is getting longer, higher and thicker.
In the end, Ugo’s theory of wolun was hopeless. In desperation, a wooden boat was secretly built in the city. It was planned to rely on this boat to support the arrival of reinforcements when the Coalition forces flooded.
Speaking of reinforcements, Ugo is really depressed and dissatisfied. He doesn’t know when the imperial reinforcements will arrive. Doesn’t the imperial court care about life and death?
Don’t say that there are more than 10,000 troops in the city, and there are nearly 200,000 jurchen refugees. Isn’t it okay for the court in the city?
Where the hell are the reinforcements?
Ugu hoped for reinforcements, but they never arrived.
Zhending City is at the end of its tether.
Chapter 216 I won the time race
The foundation of the besieged dam was formed on the first day of December
After inspecting the dam, Su Yonglin gave instructions to continue to thicken and strengthen the dam on the grounds that more water can be stored and it will be more stable, so that the city can be made bigger by then.
Of course, the main reason is that he knows that Jinting reinforcements have not launched the second round of attack in Xiongzhou. It is estimated that the logistical problems have not been solved and he dare not attack rashly.
At this time, it will be abundant. Of course, we must consider the quality of the project. Don’t flood here and there, and the significance of flooding will be gone.
On the fourth day of December, Su Yonglin visited the project again and found that the quality of this simple artificial dam was quite good, which was a good and fast model.
"It looks like it’s time to store water."
Su Yonglin said to the generals around him
The generals nodded their heads and looked at the still strong and true city. There was some banter in their eyes.
There is no doubt that they have seen the moment when Zhending City was trapped and killed.
On the fifth day of December, Su Yonglin ordered to dig part of the embankment of Hutuo River to introduce the river water into the completed dam.
The flood rolled in and soon passed from one end to the other, and an arc-shaped water city realized it.
However, there is obviously a technical error in this project due to the rush.
When the concrete calculation is not accurate enough, when the water diversion into the dam is completed, the water flows over the dam and into the encirclement because the height near the real city is not high enough.
Of course, because it is a rushing river, even in the dry season, it can reflect the vastness of nature and the cruelty of fire and water, and the water rushes away in spite of human command.
Su Yonglin felt as if he could understand why some river breaches could cause so much damage.
His dam simulate a real situation where that water flow is too large and the riv channel is not enough, thus causing floods.
If he were in his own city, he would feel his scalp tingling and despair.
No, he dug the artificial dam himself, and the water attack has already been carried out. He is going to threaten the city finally. Now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
Although it hurts, it also makes Su Yonglin feel the importance of mathematics and civil engineering.
It’s lucky that I didn’t hurt myself this time. It’s not a big problem when I hit the dry season. If something happens later, the flood will flood myself in turn. Is that great?
It is urgent to establish a specialized civil engineering team. The professional level of Victory Army is not enough. To develop in a more scientific and accurate direction, professional technical arms must be established.
There is no doubt that it is very important to have a technical arm with extremely rich professional knowledge for the goal of winning the army to attack the city.
Field operations need strong fighting capacity and cavalry, while the central plains soil war can not be separated from siege and guarding the city
Compared with siege and guarding the city, direct and rough field operations can better reflect the development of war technology, which involves physical chemistry, mathematics, biology, psychology and other key disciplines.
It goes without saying how much help he can bring to the army when his professional and technical arms with rich knowledge of civil engineering attack and defend the city.
The most famous case in Su Yonglin’s memory is that the Taiping Army attacked Nanjing, relying on professional soil camps to bury gunpowder in tunnels, and finally 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder ended the Nanjing city wall.
It seems simple, but it involves professional knowledge, which can not be accomplished by ordinary people. If it is not a professional, it will easily lead to the tragedy of flooding the Longwang Temple.
Su Yonglin saw a professional and technical force in his mind.
Of course, the eye is of course backhand. Give him a super double.
Su Yonglin ordered that the dam surface be dug as planned to divert water into the city, so that the life and death of the people in the city would come to an end.
If I win, it will turn the tide!
At the same time, Su Yonglin turned to the northwest, where the fighting capacity was very strong, and the direction of the 8 Jin Army cavalry was reached.
They came late after all.
I won the time race
