Chapter 548 Hou Fangyu 2
After hearing this, Huang Fei suddenly laughed and looked at Zhou Xian and said, "Military Sect, although this Mr. Hou is suspected of talking about war on paper, it is indeed a solution."
Hou Fangyu raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Why am I just talking about war on paper?"
Huang Fei stopped his smile and looked at Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xian waved his hand and signaled him to say casually. For this banquet alone, Hou Fangyu proposed two methods, which really gave people a particularly amazing feeling. But he said that he had never been in politics, nor had he ever been in the army. Now, a little bit of pounding can help him better understand the reality.
Huang Fei smiled and said, "Mr. Hou, I am a rough man, so I will say something straight. You are from Henan, your family is Guide Mansion, adjacent to the Yellow River. All you see are big rivers and huge rivers. But Liaodong is different, the river is not wide, but the water is very fast. This determines that even if we built a long dam and dig it open at the right time. Perhaps at the beginning, the momentum was very strong enough to destroy everything. But in a very short time, the water will pass by and not last long."
Hou Fangyu frowned slightly, still unwilling to give up, and said, "Even if the water flows will pass by, it should last for a while. If our army can defeat the Qing army within this period, wouldn't that be enough?"
Huang Fei sneered: "Mr. Hou, the veterans of the Zhizi camp led by me are the most among the camps. But if we fight with the Tartars, 1,500 people can fight the Eight Banners of Manchus. If we fight with the Eight Banners of Han, we can fight with them 1,000. The other camps have weaker combat power. This gap cannot be compensated by simple morale. Even if we block the Qing army's return, they will be depressed. Our army's morale is high, and the Manchus who have the advantage of military strength are still very likely to win. Also, if they cut off the Qing army's retreat, they may not be depressed if they fight against the water."
Seeing Hou Fangyu's face look ugly, Zhou Xian smiled and said, "General Huang, I have a little different idea from you. The plan you said to be "Da Zong to borrow water to destroy the Tartars" is not feasible, which means it is not feasible now, but it may not be possible in the future."
Huang Fei said in confusion: "Military Gate means..."
Zhou Xian nodded and said, "Our army does not have red cannons, but the number of Fran machine cannons and Tiger Cannons is several times that of the Qing army, and there is sufficient ammunition. In addition, there are all food, weapons, etc., and the whole army is united and the support of the people. I think we can still defend it with Haoge's current strength. In this case, he has only two ways. Either request reinforcements or retreat. The Qing army is currently in short supply. It is not easy for them to call more than 20,000 troops this time. Where can reinforcements be sent? Therefore, I predict that he will withdraw in the end. When they retreat, it is the time for the lowest morale. If we dig open the embankment and then the entire army attacks, how can we not win?"
Huang Fei pondered for a moment, finally patted the back of his head and smiled, "Not to say it, this is a good idea."
Wan Ji said: "When digging a dam, you can choose to go farther. And don't completely block the water flow, put it a little every day to let the river flow. Only in this way will it not attract the attention of the Qing army, and the possibility of success will be greatly increased."
Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Mr. Wan said so, just do it. And then, a Qing army can be sent to cross the river and intercepted its subordinates specifically, so that our army's losses will be lighter."
Hou Fangyu frowned slightly and asked, "Military Gate, since our army can hold on until the Qing army retreats, their losses will be heavy. Can't our army wipe them out at that moment?"
Zhou Xianwei pondered and finally shook his head and said, "It's not that we can't, but the loss is too great, and it's a bit unworthy of the loss. Think about it! The Qing army suffered heavy losses at that time, and the same is true for our army. If the soldiers suffered too heavy losses, how can we defend Jinzhou? At present, defending Jinzhou City is much more important than killing more Qing troops. In this case, the lives of our soldiers are much more precious than those of the Qing army. These soldiers have combat experience, and then they train new soldiers to improve the overall combat effectiveness of our army. When our soldiers can be one-on-one with the flag soldiers in the future, isn't it easy to deal with them?"
Hou Fangyu pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
Zhou Xian raised his glass and smiled and said, "Chingzong, it is not easy to propose such a plan before you are in the battle formation. If you don't give up, just stay in Jinzhou to help me plan the military! In the future, I will recommend you to the court."
Hou Fangyu looked happy and raised his glass and said, "Thank you, the military. The students must have a stool to repay the great kindness of their gratitude."
Zhou Xian smiled, without saying anything, and raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Wan Ji and Hou Fangyu were tired all the way, and after drinking a lot of wine, they finally fainted from drunkenness and were sent by Zhou Xian to help him rest. Zhou Xian didn't drink much, and Huang Fei had a good alcohol tolerance, and the two were still completely awake.
The maid brought two bowls of sobering soup, Huang Fei took a sip, and then put it down and said, "Military Sect, you have recruited such a noble young man who is very proud of yourself. You have to offer it well. Is that really necessary?"
Zhou Xianxiao said, "Why is there no need? Don't you think the two suggestions he made are good?"
Huang Fei spat and said, "What's good? They are all fantastic suggestions, and they don't even know how to implement them. If he lets him go and do it alone, it will definitely hurt the brothers."
Zhou Xian took a sip of soup and smiled and said, "So we are there! Give them some opportunities, and maybe you can receive some unexpected surprises! Wenlu, we are our own people, and I don't avoid you. Another reason why I am willing to give him opportunities is his identity. He is the son of Hou Xun, the leader of the Fushe, and has a high status in the Shilin. If he can recruit him for our use, he will definitely attract more talented people to join him, which is equivalent to buying a horse bone for a thousand gold coins. Moreover, I really feel that Hou Fangyu does have some talents."
Huang Fei nodded and chuckled, "You scholars have a lot of intestinal intestines. Since you have decided, let's keep him! Anyway, I'm upset about you, I just need to defend Jinzhou City."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xian frowned clearly. "General Huang, the east gate and west gate of Jinzhou City are hilly, and it is not easy to develop troops. Once the Qing army launches a general attack, it will definitely choose the North Gate. I am going to draw another 2,000 people from the east, west and south gates to the North Gate, and the reserve troops in the city will be arranged at your disposal to defend the North Gate with all your strength. What do you think this is going on?"
Huang Fei smiled and said, "This is of course a good thing, but I think it's still not to move for the time being! When the Qing army attacked the North Gate, it would inevitably launch an attack at the east and west gates at the same time to restrain our army. Only by making them realize that there is no possibility of the east and west gates, will they attack the North Gate with all their strength. For the time being, use my Zhizi Camp first, and send someone to you when you can't stand it."
