Chapter 32: The Young Marshal Takes Action (Part 1)

  "Let's cross the river here, then turn northwest and head towards Mount Tuola. Maybe we can even get to the rear of the Liao army, and when the time is right, we can attack them from both front and back, catching them off guard. Even if the Liao army doesn't take this route, it's no big deal, at least it won't have any adverse effects on us." Yun Chen thought for a moment, deciding to play out a high-level strategic game, to see how the outcome of their paper plan would turn out.

  "Yes, then I will go ahead and lead the brothers across the river." Yun Xi bowed his fist and accepted the order.

  Huh? He just accepted the order like that? Why didn't he express his own opinion? This young general is a typical armchair strategist, heaven knows if this route of march is chosen correctly... Forget it, since he's accepted the order, then so be it.

  Nodding, Yun Zheng said: "Mm, be careful." Yun Xi nodded and said "yes" before leaving on her own.

  Yun Cong rode on the horse, and quickly recalled the "command method" he used to play games. Hmm, it seemed that no matter what game, as long as it was a tactical battle, the most important thing was to grasp the "momentum".

  To put it simply, it's about concentrating the most useful and powerful troops in your hands and swiftly defeating the enemy army. The most troublesome kind is when the enemy has a much larger force than you, and they refuse to split their forces. Most games have difficulty dealing with this situation, but some more realistic ones have a solution - striking at the enemy's supply lines. You think you're strong with your large numbers? I know you're fierce, but I won't engage in a bloody battle with you. I'll take out your transport team and cut off your supply lines, let's see how long you can last?

  The principle of concentrating superior forces to strike at the weak point is a great guarantee for victory, and it is particularly important. Haven't you seen that our Great Leader Chairman Mao was able to defeat the 8 million-strong Nationalist army equipped with US arms using inferior forces? Haven't you seen how the "Führer" annihilated the French "world's number one land force" with his armored corps? The reasons for victory are diverse, but there is one common point - concentrating superior forces and striking hard.

  However, this matter has always been easy to say but difficult to do. For example, in our current situation, the Second Brother and I have only 28,000 troops combined, which is probably not even comparable to the vanguard of the Liao army. Concentrating our advantageous forces here would be difficult. As for attacking the enemy's grain route... there are still tens of thousands of Liao army troops behind their vanguard! Unless we directly release all the Liao army into Tan Prefecture and then sneak into the enemy's rear with the Second Brother to focus on attacking their grain route - hmm, this idea looks good, but it's not feasible for now. If we let the Liao army pass through our territory, wouldn't our rear be in trouble? With Father not around, Xiao Tian seems to have some skills, what if he loses Tan Prefecture? I'd cry! Moreover, even if Tan Prefecture holds out, what would our 30,000 cavalry eat after killing their way into the Liao country's rear? There are 200,000 Liao troops in between! As for living off the land, I've thought about it too, but the Liao country has just suffered a disaster, and even if we go to plunder, we might not be able to get enough food. And those things from the Liao army's transportation team are inconvenient for us to carry, so we can only burn them away. So this idea seems good, but once implemented, it would definitely exhaust our three armies.

  So this matter is indeed a bit tricky. Yun Zhēn has now arrived at the riverbank, and after thinking for half a day while staring at the frozen river surface, he finally realized that his military skills are indeed limited, and he really can't think of any clever plan. He could only comfort himself, "After all, I have over 10,000 Yan Yun Iron Cavalry under my command, they are all tactically savvy and personally powerful warriors. Let's sneak past them first and merge with Yun Gang, then see if his ambush battle can be successful or not. If it is, great! If not, we'll just launch a harassment campaign instead." In short, we have 30,000 cavalrymen, as long as we don't do anything stupid, the Liao army won't be able to turn around and wipe us out. What's the 16-character motto of Taizu Mao YeYe's guerrilla warfare tactics again? "Enemy advances, I retreat; enemy camps, I harass; enemy tires, I strike; enemy retreats, I pursue."

  Yeah, that's right, this sentence. Hey, although we haven't implemented it before, from childhood to adulthood, we've heard so much about it that our ears are numb. This time if all else fails, let's put this guerrilla tactic into practice. As long as we don't penetrate deep into the Liao territory, we won't run out of food.

  "Report! —— "A scout reported: "General, the scouts have already found no signs of Liao army activity within twenty miles on the other side. Please order!"

  Well, it's no surprise that there are no Liao troops on this side. The scouting was just a precaution and out of habit during the march.

  "Very well, order the two guards, according to General Ben's previous arrangement, cross the river in batches." Yun Zheng said lightly.

  After the order was passed down, Yun Zhong galloped his horse to inspect the troops and saw that the officers and men were lined up neatly, neither hurried nor flustered, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. Indeed, they were worthy of being the world-renowned elite warriors. Looking at this appearance of not fearing the enemy's large army, indeed...

  Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Cloud's mind!

  We thought about it for half a day, but how come we didn't consider the combat effectiveness and psychology of soldiers on both sides! What a mistake! Almost used cavalry as infantry!

  Cavalry, damn it! Such fine cavalry isn't just about speed advantages! Our Yan Yun riders are all equipped with long spears, and we've practiced a simplified version of the Twelve Forms of Shadow Spear Technique. Although it's rough compared to the actual Shadow Spear Method and lacks internal power as its foundation, everyone here is a sturdy northerner, so our strength isn't lacking. The key thing is that we can't withstand their numbers!

  What a "tank cluster" of the Cold War era! Let's think about it, are there any examples of using such "bayonet" cavalry units?

  Alright, alright! Li Shimin! Elite cavalry in black armor! Roll up the banners and charge into battle!

  To know, Li Shimin's military career, almost no traditional Confucian general's "operational planning". His plans are simple and practical, tactics are straightforward, especially good at finding the enemy's weakness in waiting, capturing fleeting opportunities, and in actual combat, the cavalry's impact is fully utilized, forming a "light cavalry sweep array to wait for gaps - lead elite troops to enter the array - penetrate the enemy camp to create panic - take advantage of the chaos to launch a full-scale attack" offensive pattern.

  As for the battle achievements, Tang Xiaohu's Laohekou Battle is a living example! A banner was inserted into the array, directly breaking through Dou Jiande's central army. Three thousand and five hundred Xuanjia elite cavalrymen charged horizontally in the midst of hundreds of thousands of troops, directly killing their way to Dou Jiande's side and capturing him. This is the classic usage of "spearhead" cavalry!

  With a great man like Li Shimin as an example, it's not shameful for us, the younger generation, to follow and learn from him.

  Yun Zhong's mood suddenly improved as he made up his mind, and he smiled as he watched Yan Yun ride across the river in batches.
