Chapter 198 Debate
At sea. .
Zheng Zhichang walked towards Wu Yanchong, who was looking at the map of Danluo County, and said, "The old general worked hard and actually had been studying the battlefield map since he set off."
Wu Yanchong, who has been idle for nearly ten years, has no longer dared to have the opportunity to lead troops, has long since disappeared from the irritability he used to be. He said calmly: "I never thought that leading troops would come to attack the island of Danluo County, so I have no corresponding preparations and need to study more."
Zheng Zhichang said: "Xiao Kezhi's wish is to return to the Northwest Army to avenge the previous shame. If you have the chance, Xiao Ke will definitely make a promise to the king."
Wu Yanpeng thanked: "Then I thanked the marshal in advance."
Zheng Zhichang said: "Don't be embarrassed by the veteran general. Xiaoke doesn't know how to lead troops to fight. This battle is commanded by the veteran general."
After hearing what Zheng Zhichang said, Wu Yanchong breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not fully rest assured that Wu Yanchong, who had been dealing with civil officials for most of his life, knew that there were too many twists and turns in the belly of these civil officials, and what they said was not trustworthy, at least they should not trust them all.
Wu Yanchong said unanimously: "If the marshal is asked to command this battle, how will the marshal fight?"
Zheng Zhichang said: "The Art of War of Sun Tzu says, "The superior army attacks the plan, and then attacks the diplomatic army, and then attacks the troops, and then attacks the city. The method of siege is a last resort. So I think, if you can, you will surrender first. If you cannot surrender, see if there are any strategies to earn the city gate, which can reduce a lot of casualties. If there is no way out, "The Art of War of Sun Tzu says, "The Art of War of Ten, surrounded it, and attack five, and attack it. Our army has an absolute advantage in marching forces. Our army can surround it or attack it, and we can also surround it and attack it."
After hearing what Zheng Zhichang said, Wu Yanchong nodded secretly and thought to himself: "It's much better than I thought. Although it's a bit boasting, it's not that I'm ignorant. If you train for a few years, you may become the next Yin."
Wu Yanchong, who was old, still refused to comment and said, "What is the most difficult part of this battle?"
"This... is a siege?" Zheng Zhichang hesitated.
Wu Yanchong shook his head and said, "It's the island."
Zheng Zhichang was a little puzzled and said, "What's the difficulty of hitting the island?"
Wu Yanchong took Zheng Zhichang to the map, then pointed to three places one by one and said, "These three places are Incheon, Lishui, and Mopo. I asked Prince Danluo, and he said that these three places are the only places where the three can land. If I am the commander of the defenders, I will guard these three places!"
Zheng Zhichang thought for a while, and then asked tentatively: "As long as we defend these three places, our army's advantage cannot be expanded?"
Wu Yanchong said: "This is a very important reason." After a pause, Wu Yanchong said: "In fact, even without a garrison, it is difficult for so many of us to land. Landing wars have high requirements for landing ports or beachheads, such as waterlines, whether there are reef groups, the strength and rules of the tide, and the hardness of the land on the beachhead. Even if the ship is stopped at the critical point of the waterline, how to get the troops and supplies ashore is not an easy task."
Wu Yanchong clicked at the Incheon Port again and said, "What I told you just now is Incheon, Lishui and Mopo who can land in Danluo County, but the only ones that can land in safely is actually Incheon with a port. The possibility of safe landing in the other two places being safely no more than 30%. And if there are no defenders, the possibility of the two places being able to land on the island will not exceed 10%.
Zheng Zhichang disbelief: "The possibility is so small?"
Wu Yanchong explained to Zheng Zhichang untiringly: "First talk about the water line issue. Not to mention the large sea boats we bought from Song State with a load of 50,000 stones, but were just large ships we built with a load of 10,000 stones. They could not reach the shore in both places. Once they reached the shore, they would be stranded. In this case, even if the ship was destroyed, it would not be destroyed, and it would not be used again in a short time. Therefore, we have to drive them to a place where they would not be stranded, and then use a small boat to transport the soldiers and supplies to the place where the boat could not row, so that the soldiers could get off the boat and flow to the shore, so that the civilians could transport the supplies to the shore."
Zheng Zhichang really didn't know that login war was so troublesome, so he could only listen.
After a pause, Wu Yanchong continued: "Let's talk about the tides. When the water level is high and low, there will be more than ten feet when the difference is large. The water surface coverage is several miles or even ten miles away from the low tide. The terrain of the underwater and land changes greatly. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. The rules of the tide still change from time to time. It is not difficult for people who live in the local area for a long time to master it. Besides, the reefs under the sea are not flat, but reefs, and those shallow sea reefs can easily destroy our ships. Finally, the land on the beach is hard
The degree is not the beach, but the part below the beach, covered at high tide and exposed at low tide, and its hardness is getting muddy from the top to the bottom. Therefore, this kind of landing war can only be initiated at high tide. First, the water level is high, which can move more distance to the shore, second, shorten the attack distance, and third, shorten the distance that manpower finally goes up. If the beach is muddy, it is difficult to walk empty-handed, and it will be even more difficult to transport war horses and baggage. If there are more defenders and attack halfway through, the possibility of successfully landing is extremely low, even if it is a pile of people."
Finally, Wu Yanchong concluded: "From the current situation, if you want to attack the island from Lishui and Mopo, you can only be lucky and have a life-long chance."
Zheng Zhichang swallowed and said, "This is the most difficult thing to kick the island." Then he lowered his posture and asked, "Then we can only attack from Incheon Port?"
Wu Yanchong said: "The first question is that they will not demolish Incheon Port."
Zheng Zhichang said: "I hope they don't tear them down, otherwise this battle will probably be difficult to fight!"
Wu Yanpeng laughed and said, "Marson, how about you come to command the battle of island kicking?"
Zheng Zhichang's head shook like a rattle and said, "No, it's better for you to come, the old general!"
Speaking of this, Zheng Zhichang smiled and said, "I'd better wait for the old general to be awarded the merits."
Wu Yanchong tried it out. Although Zheng Zhichang was a little eager to try it, he was still very knowledgeable. After he stated his power, he put aside the idea of commanding the battle.
Wu Yantong laughed and said, "Since the marshal gives me this opportunity, I will surpass it. At that time, I will ask the marshal to observe the enemy's formation for me!"
Coincidentally, as Wu Yanchong finished speaking, they appeared on the top of Hannah Mountain and went to Jeju Island.
