Vol 2 Chapter 711: Li Chunjing without a plan

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Even a mere Yuezhou is not worth Li Chunjing's so much mobilization, bringing the main force of the Second Army to the adventure, Li Chunjing still has more profound Second strategic purpose!

After a few staff members looked at the map, one of them said, "General Li's goal is here!"

Following the direction he indicated, others saw the two big characters on the map: Changsha!

Although Cai Erhu was limited by his own cultural level and tactical theoretical ability, he could not understand why Li Chunjing suddenly made such a strategic choice, and he could not even figure out how Li Chunjing would solve a series of problems caused by it.

Although the plan to attack Wuchang that was made before was also risky, Cai Erhu also knew that Li Chunjing's real purpose was not to simply attack Wuchang, but to attack the enemy and save it, which caused Jiujiang, Nankang and other places. The main force of the Ming army came out and tried to defeat them in the field.

The Datang Army has tried this tactic many times in the past year, and it has achieved great results, but now, the Ming Army will not be fooled again.

After suffering so many times, the Ming army had already seen through the tactics of attacking a certain place on the surface, but actually attacking another place.

So this time, not only the Ming army in the direction of Fuzhou did not move, but also the Ming army in the direction of Jiujiang and Nankang did not move either, almost letting Li Chunjing take tens of thousands of troops towards Wuchang.

Of course, this was also because the Ming army had great confidence in the defense of Wuchang.

And this confidence was also noticed by Li Chunjing, Cai Erhu and others. Although they did not clearly understand the confidence of the Ming army, it can be judged that the Ming army did not seem to be afraid of Li Chunjing bringing the main force. Go to Wuchang!

And this is also one of the main reasons that prompted Li Chunjing to change the original strategy. After all, when there are other options, Li Chunjing did not have to travel hundreds of miles, and then ran to the city of Wuchang to fight the Ming army to the death. .

But Cai Erhu didn't understand why Li Chunjing had to take the army to Yuezhou or even plan to go to Changsha.

But I don't understand, I don't understand, Cai Erhu has been in the army for many years, and he has gained a lot of knowledge from so many wars. He can see the strategic changes caused by Li Chunjing's move!

Once Li Chunjing leads the army to take Yuezhou Mansion, then he can go south to Changsha and launch an attack with the main force of the First Army!

At that time, when the two armies converge, at least a main force of more than 50,000 people can be dispatched. That is a main force of 50,000 people, even if Changsha is a tortoise shell, it can be eaten.

After winning Changsha, Hengyang was under siege, and there was no need to fight. At that time, it would be directly surrounded and blocked, and then an infantry division would be left to guard it. Sooner or later, Hengyang could be taken down.

And what does this represent?

This means that at that time, almost the entire southern part of Huguang, south of the Yangtze River, will fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty!

Seeing the inferences of the staff, Cai Erhu was a little stunned!

Li Chunjing is not just simply attacking Yuezhou, he is not even just for Changsha, what he wants is almost the entire southern part of Huguang!

And this kind of plan of tens of thousands of troops rushing for hundreds of miles, and finally triggering a major change in the entire strategic situation, Cai Erhu thinks that he would never dare to do it, even Hao Bainian would not dare to do it.

But Li Chunjing is brave!

On the front line, An Zichen, Chief of Staff of the Second Army, also asked Li Chunjing with a puzzled look: "Sir, if we go to Yuezhou now, the logistics supply along the way will not be smooth. Judging from the materials carried by the army, at most we can support it. We maintain a month's supply of food and three large-scale battles, and it's okay to fight Yuezhou, but if we go to Changsha, if we can't get supplements in the future, I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic!"

Li Chunjing didn't take it seriously: "There is a shortage of ammunition, so I will save it. Besides, if there is no ammunition, there will be no war. Is our army's bayonet charge for watching?"

"As for the food, if it's not enough, it'll just be eaten by the enemy!"

Li Chunjing rode a group of blue-gray Mongolian warhorses, then looked ahead, and said, "Besides, whoever said that this official must go to Yuezhou, he must go to Changsha!"

An Zichen said, "Don't go to Yuezhou? Don't go to Changsha? Where shall we go then?"

Li Chunjing smiled at this time: "Let's see later!"

"Let's see later?" An Zichen was even more puzzled!

This is somewhat incomprehensible to An Zichen, who is a professional and has been a staff officer for a long time. Li Chunjing is going to attack Wuchang, and now he wants to go to Yuezhou or even Changsha. Although he does not agree, but as the chief of staff of the Second Army , he is still conscientious in formulating relevant action plans.

But now, Li Chunjing is telling him: "Let's see when the time comes?"

What does this show? It shows that Li Chunjing himself has no clear strategic direction. It is possible to go back to Wuchang, Yuezhou, or even Changsha directly.

And in this way, how should he, the chief of staff of the Second Army, implement a detailed marching and combat plan?

The main force of the Second Army has more than 30,000 people, plus nearly 40,000 civilians who accompany the army to transport luggage, it is a huge team of 70,000 people, not just anyone who wants to go there.

But now, Li Chunjing is like this!

At this time, Li Chunjing turned his head to look at An Zichen, and then said to his deputy, "Chief of Staff, do you remember what His Majesty's will for this official is?"

An Zichen naturally knew it, and immediately said: "Your Majesty has a purpose, let the adults find opportunities to fight, severely inflict heavy losses on the puppet army, and lay the foundation for advancing into Nanzhili!"

Li Chunjing said: "Then how can we enter Nanzhili, is it just to send 10,000 or 20,000 people to bypass Fuzhou, Jiujiang and other places, and then directly enter Nanzhili, is it a success?"

An Zichen immediately shook his head: "Of course not, this is not in line with the tradition of my Great Tang Master, and it is even less in line with my Great Tang's interests!"

Li Chunjing said: "That's right, I have never withdrawn from the place where the Great Tang Wang Shi went. When we enter Nanzhili, we naturally need to take the entire Jiangnan into our pockets and let the Jiangnan land be in our hands. To become the source of troops and taxation for my Tang Dynasty, this requires complete control of Jiangnan, and at the same time solves worries!"

"What are our worries?"

An Zichen said, "Of course it's Zhang Yue's superintendent!"

"Not bad!" At this time, Li Chunjing took a deep breath and said, "The strategic goal of our army in this battle is not to gain or lose one city or one place, but to annihilate the main force of Zhang Yue!"

"In this way, the worries of our army's eastward advance can be solved. Otherwise, in Fuzhou, I can stop the full blow of my second army? Your Majesty is wise, and he has already seen all of this, so I will let this officer find opportunities to deal heavy damage. Puppet army!"

Immediately, Li Chunjing said again: "This time our army is going to Yuezhou? Does the Ming army move? Once they move, our opportunity will come. Whether it is the Ming army from Wuchang or Jiujiang, this officer has confidence. Fight them!"

"If the Ming army in the direction of Changsha moves, then Brother Hao's first army will also have a chance!"

"If they don't move, then this officer will take Yuezhou, cut off the connection between Wuchang and Changsha, and together with the First Army, form a front and back attack on the enemies of Changsha and Hengyang, and even a strategic encirclement situation!"

"If the enemy army does not move and still stands firm, then this officer will lead the army south to Changsha to contain the enemy in Changsha. At that time, it is very promising to use the strength of the first army to concentrate on besieging Hengyang. Once Hengyang is captured, the enemy of Changsha will also stubbornly resist. Soon!"

"Once the enemy forces in these two directions are resolved, the enemy army in the Chenzhou direction will not be a problem, and then our two armies will merge into one place and capture Wuchang, Jiujiang and even kill all the way to Jinling City in Nanzhili. !"

At this time, An Zichen said: "What if the enemy forces move? What if the puppet Ming thieves gather in Nanchang and even the enemies of Jiujiang to return to Yuezhou and Changsha?"

"What if the enemy forces take the opportunity to counterattack Nanchang?"

"What if the enemy forces take the opportunity to capture Fengcheng, leave a group to contain the 6th Infantry Division, and then attack Luling and even Ganzhou?"

"What if the enemy army follows our army and takes the opportunity to attack our army from the front and back?"

An Zichen was obviously not persuaded by Li Chunjing, but made a series of assumptions!

In this regard, Li Chunjing smiled: "In war, it is naturally impossible to plan all plans in advance, and it is impossible to take no risks at all!"

As for Li Chunjing's statement, An Zichen could only sigh, Li Chunjing is the commander of the First Army, and His Majesty has fully delegated power to him. In fact, no one can stop Li Chunjing what he wants to do now. live him.

He An Zichen could only check the vacancies later~www.wuxiaspot.com~ arrange detailed strategy and logistics for Li Chunjing as much as possible, so as to reduce the risks of Li Chunjing's many tactical choices as much as possible.

And he also knew that this was the main reason why His Majesty sent him to be the Chief of Staff of the Second Army.

An Zichen's early experience was different from that of other staff officers. Although he attended the martial arts school and also studied at the Imperial Academy, he studied the transportation department, and served as the battalion commander of the transportation battalion and the regiment of the transportation regiment at the grassroots level. He later served as Deputy Minister of Logistics in the Privy Council, during which time he was promoted to Brigadier General.

In August, Li Xuan summoned him and asked him if he would like to go to the front line in Jiangxi to be Li Chunjing's deputy and serve as the chief of staff of the Second Army.

To be honest, he was actually a little confused at that time, because he felt that he was not a chief of staff who was good at strategic planning, and he was better at handling chores and logistics in the army.

But His Majesty personally ordered the generals, and the position of Chief of Staff of the Second Army was quite tempting, much stronger than the Deputy Minister of the Logistics Department.

That's why he came to the front line of Jiangxi to serve as the chief of staff of the Second Army. Of course, he could also guess that His Majesty asked him to come to Jiangxi because he wanted to use his ability to handle chores and logistical affairs to complement Li Chunjing.

Now Li Chunjing said with a relaxed expression that it is impossible to make every plan well in war, and it is impossible to take no risks at all. Although he does not agree, he can only do his job well.

To be honest, it was impossible for him to An Zichen to lead troops to fight and to use this kind of tactic that was almost unpredictable, but it was still possible for Li Chunjing to be a good housekeeper and help him handle the many complicated affairs of the huge Second Army.

Li Chunjing did not come to Wuchang with the Second Army, but turned westward and headed for Yuezhou halfway. The news quickly reached Zhang Yue's ears! Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
