Chapter 1170

Referring to the artillery, Gao Lan's face became very dignified. He said with a straight face: "tell your majesty, the artillery of the Kushan empire is very powerful. According to the situation that we have fought with the Kushan Empire several times, the artillery of the other side can hit the target hundreds of steps away. And the power of artillery is huge, far more than our gunpowder. "

After a pause, Gao Lan said: "with guns, our city has lost its function. No matter how strong the city is, it can't resist the attack of artillery. "

Zhang Xiu said: "the artillery is really powerful, but it is not without defects. To deal with artillery, we must fight outside the city and occupy a favorable strategic commanding point. In this way, the army can use the trench to hide and reduce the casualties of soldiers. At the same time, it can also resist the enemy's attack with the help of trenches. "

Gao Lan gave a thumbs up and praised: "Your Majesty Shengming, at the beginning, we didn't know the situation of the cannons, so we were beaten in every battle, and the loss was huge."

"Gradually, we also found the problem of artillery."

"So now we have a lot of troops in the direction of Mount Baimang on the border of Weiwu county. And all the soldiers on Mount Baimang dug trenches, and the soldiers hid in them to avoid the falling artillery. "

"If the enemy is close, on the one hand, he can take advantage of the height of the mountain to shoot with bows and arrows. On the other hand, they can also fight back from a commanding position. "

Gao Lan zhengse said: "only in this way can we stabilize the situation, so that the army of Kushan Empire, even after seizing Zhangye, temporarily stopped at the border of Weiwu."

"Good, good!"

Zhang Xiu smiles when she hears it.

Artillery is indeed a new weapon, a weapon of mass destruction. But in fact, as long as we deal with it properly, even if the artillery of Kushan empire is powerful, it is not unstoppable.

It's not a problem.

Gao Lan said: "Your Majesty is leading the army to arrive. With the army of the imperial court, our shortcomings in military strength will disappear completely. Next, we can fight the Kushan empire. Your majesty, we have worked out a plan to defeat the Kushan empire. We can send troops at any time. "

Zhang Xiu said, "what's the plan?"

Gao Lan took out the map, hung it up, pointed to the direction of Zhangye County, and said: "according to the information we have found, although the army of the Kushan empire was stationed at the border of Zhangye and Weiwu, in fact, the grain and grass of the Kushan empire was in Dichi County of Zhangye county."

"That's what we got."

"If you send a surprise army to Dichi County quietly, you can quickly take down Dichi and swallow the other party's food."

"In this way, the Kushan empire will be defeated."

Gao Lan zhengse said, "this is the strategy formulated by our Liangzhou military region early. Please allow it."

Although Gao Lan has always been a garrison and never fought back, Gao Lan and pound have made plans to fight back and are always ready to fight back.

The location of the granary of the Kushan empire was inquired about before.

So Gaolan made a plan.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu didn't immediately retort and thought about it. She asked, "all the grain of the Kushan empire is stored in the county seat of Dichi. Is this news confidential or open to the public?"

Gao Lan said: "this news has never been made public, but it has never been kept secret. As long as you want to make inquiries, you can make them out. "

Zhang xiudao said: "in that case, can we think that this grain and grass hoarding site of Kushan empire is a flaw revealed by the other party intentionally, which is specially for us to know, so that we can take the initiative to attack. In the end, they fall into each other's trap. "

Gao Lan was startled and said, "Your Majesty means that the Kushan Empire has laid an ambush in Dichi county."

Zhang xiudao said: "it may not be that the ambush was laid early, but the Kushan Empire would make arrangements to ensure the safety of Dichi county because of grain hoarding. If we attack Dichi normally, we may fall into ambush. "

Gao Lan said: "Your Majesty is holy and bright. I really didn't think about it. Because according to the situation of our confrontation with the Kushan Empire, the troops of the Kushan Empire gathered at the border of Zhangye and Weiwu. "

Zhang Xiu said: "on the battlefield, since it is fighting, we must consider all possibilities. Therefore, in this war, I think Dichi county is likely to have the army of Kushan empire. Of course, I also think that we can make the best of our plan. "

Gao Lan Lian said hastily, "Your Majesty, how do you plan?"

Zhang xiudao said: "take Dichi County as a stronghold and implement the strategy of encircling and supporting. In addition, it is also necessary to annihilate the garrison troops in Dichi county and destroy the other party's grain. In this way, we have a dual policy nature. "

When Gao Lan heard this, he said, "Your Majesty is right. In this way, we will leave the baimangshan battlefield and take the initiative to transfer the baimangshan battlefield to our advantage."

Guo jiace thought that "the three ways should not be in parallel, your majesty."

Zhang xiudao said: "how can the three strategies go hand in hand?"

Guo Jia stroked his beard under his jaw and said slowly, "the so-called three strategies must be carried out. After the implementation of encirclement, the troops of the Kushan empire may begin to withdraw from the front line of Baimang mountain. At that time, the baimangshan army should be allowed to push forward the battlefield quickly and reduce the influence of Kushan empire. Whether it is the battlefield in Baimang mountain or the battlefield in Dichi County, it must be linked. "Pang Tong said with a smile: "what Mr. Guo said is true. We can really push forward the three strategies at the same time. However, the direction of Baimang mountain may not always be tenacious. We can attack appropriately to attract the Kushan imperial garrison outside Baimang mountain. In short, the delay on the front line of Baimang mountain is also conducive to the war in Dichi county. "

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiu allowed it directly.

Now, the three policies are in parallel, which is the most appropriate policy at present.

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "in the direction of Baimang mountain, I will go in person, accompanied by Pang Tong, Xun Yu, Gao Lan and pound. In the direction of Dichi County, Gan Ning and Zhao Yun led their respective armies. Guo Jia served as the staff officer and was responsible for the operation of the war in Dichi county. "

"Here it is

All of us should go down together.

After the general direction of the strategy has been decided, the next step is to discuss the details in detail.

After all the negotiations were completed, Zhang Xiu did not delay any longer and ordered everyone to act separately. Ganning, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia, with nearly 80000 troops, walked day and night quietly to the direction of Dichi county. In particular, this direction of travel is to take the path to walk, not along the official road.

Zhang Xiu, along with Gao Lan, Pang Tong and others, was marching along the official road. However, in half a day, the party had already arrived at the site where the baimangshan army was stationed.

Today, there are more than 20000 elite troops stationed in Baimang mountain.

The whole mountain is facing the direction of the camp of the Kushan Empire, that is, the place where the road at the foot of the mountain is located. There are circles of trenches with soldiers specially stationed to prevent the troops of the Kushan empire from seizing mount Baimang.

Today's baimangshan is still under the control of the Qin army.

After Zhang Xiu arrived, she went to the army headquarters at the top of the mountain. With the arrival of Zhang Xiu, he took over the command of the army and began to gather the generals to discuss sending troops.
