Just as the emergence of gunpowder changed the city defense system and the construction of the city in Zhuxia, the new style of urban defense that conforms to the nine numbers of geometry and rationality will also bring about changes in the war model.

As we discussed a lot, these division-level cadres who came out of the battlefield and came out of military academies gradually began to think about the changes in this war model.

The head coach of the Pengcheng Legion said: "If countries are allowed to build new cities in the border areas, we have to consider the issue of reinforcements from the princes."

"We are still taking the Qi war five years ago as an example. If the Qi people had already built a fortress in the Wenshui River and Jishui River, we could not capture it for the time being, and Linzi will have a chance to breathe and gather the army."

"Same, when fighting on the outside, we have to consider logistics, and we cannot just bypass the fortress, so we will die."

"Sun Wuzi said that the method of using troops is scattered, light, fighting, intersecting, crossroads, heavy, subterranean, encircling, and dead. The princes fought their own land and became scattered land. Those who entered the land were not deep were light lands. If I got it, it was profitable, and those who also benefited were fighting for the land. I can go, and those who came to the land were intersecting. The three places of the princes belonged to, and those who arrived first and obtained the people of the world were crossroads. The deep land of the people entered the land.

, those who have many cities and towns behind the back are important lands. They travel mountains, forests, dangerous obstacles, and fogs. Any difficult way to do is to destroy the land. Those who come from the entrance are narrow, those who come from the entrance are rounded, and those who are few can attack our many people are encircled lands. If they fight quickly, they will survive, and those who do not fight quickly are dead. Therefore, there will be no war in the scattered lands, there will be no end in the scattered lands, there will be no attack in the scattered lands, there will be no end in the scattered lands, there will be no intervening lands, there will be no intercession in the crossroads, there will be plunder in the heavy lands, there will be no downwards in the scattered lands, there will be siege in the scattered lands, there will be plans in the scattered lands, and there will be war in the dead."

"If you fight quickly, you will survive; if you don't fight quickly, you will die. If you don't care about the rear and go straight to Linzi, you will fall into death. If you fight in death, you will need to fight. However, if Linzi has such a city defense, we will have at least half a year to prepare for the siege."

"At that time, we want to fight but cannot. Unless the Qi people are stupid and want to go out of the city to fight with us, the nobles from all over the country will join forces to help, and the princes send troops to intervene, so we can only retreat for one way. Stop the troops under the strong city and cannot attack for a long time. This is a big taboo for soldiers."

This is indeed a problem.

The imaginary enemy of Si Shang has always been the princes of the world, and it has always been believed that when a real war is true, the princes of the world must interfere with Si Shang.

The Qi-Mo War is a battle of tricks.

At that time, Wei and Zhao turned against each other, Zhongshan was independent, and Wei and Chu went to war. Si Shang was sure that no countries could interfere, so he rushed straight into Linzi and forced the Qi army to retreat.

If there is no such external environment, it would be absolutely wrong to use troops, and it would even ruin the Si Shang situation.

We cannot place all hope in the internal contradictions of the enemy. We can use it, but it cannot be used as conventional experience.

What the commander of the Pengcheng Legion said is the big problem that Si Shang may face in the future.

If it is a fortress against a fortress, it is similar to the confrontation between Changping in later generations. In fact, it is annihilated a thousand enemies and damaged 800 of them. It is acceptable to fight against a country, but it is a mistake to fight against the coalition of princes.

Si Shang’s strategic concept must be to fight long-distance raids and field battles, and to go around the outside line to annihilate the enemy’s vitality.

Once Qi, Wei, Chu, and Han passed through the battle of Dangshan and built several fortresses on the important roads in the Central Plains to block the traffic line, it would be very bad.

Seeing that everyone thought of this level, Liuzhi said, "Actually, it is correct to think so."

"But, this is what the Giant means."

"Our mobilization system and system determine that we can mobilize more troops than we did twenty years ago."

"Then, the role of these cities will change. This change is something we must figure out."

"With our skilled siege method, with the advantage of artillery and infantrymen, we can conquer such new cities within one month."

"However, in the case of siege, the elite field troops are actually quite different from the mobilized soldiers on the second line. At most, they can organize some elite camp first."

"So, if we fight later, our mobilization system may be a normal state."

"As the main force, several field corpses are responsible for interspersing and fighting field battles, while the second-line troops are responsible for garrisoning the logistics line and besieging cities."

"The same new urban defense has many different meanings."

"If the urban defense system of Linzi and Pingyin is consistent, then will Pingyin and Linzi have the same meaning to us?"

"Pingyin can be regarded as a barracks that the Qi people gathered before they gathered, and a pillar stuck in the transportation logistics line. But Linzi is the capital of Qi."

"We want to prove one thing through this battle. Even with the new urban defense, we can still conquer within one month. Only by proving this can we be invincible."

"The soldiers on the second-line are monitoring the cities on our route, and siege and attack slowly. The main force directly penetrates the enemy's place of rescue, sieges the city and attacks aid, or captures the capital in a short period of time at any cost."

"If the enemy does not save us, we can capture it; if the enemy save us, we can intercept it halfway."

"The reaction time of the reinforcements of the princes is three months faster and half a year later. In this half a year, the second-line troops will be enough to use our siege method to capture the cities of important transportation roads. At that time, it will be our guard and the reinforcements of the princes will attack."

"In the cycle of three months, we can do two things: First, within three months, the second-line troops can capture new cities on the major transportation routes and defend them for their own use; second, our main force can directly penetrate the enemy's capital and siege and attack. With the time when the second-line troops defend, the combat cycle of our main force is at most half a year. As long as we can capture cities and defeat reinforcements in half a year, we can win. If it is not possible within half a year, then we will be in an unfavorable situation."

"This is a situation where we take the initiative to attack. If the other princes take the initiative to attack us, we need to drag it down."

"Rely on cities and fortresses, delaying the time of the coalition of princes."

"They don't join forces and dare not fight with us; there are few people, they dare not go deeper or fight; there are many people, and their country will collapse at most for two years."

"So in my opinion, this is still beneficial to us, but there is only one thing, that is, after the entire Si Shang, military must be first, and at any time, in addition to the main field forces, a second-line army of about 50,000 people can be raised, and the city can be sieged, or even field battles can be organized."

"This is the system matter, and it is also the responsibility of the Central Committee of Si Shang. Since the above thinks it is beneficial to us, I think the above has an idea about this matter. We just summarize the pros and cons of our discussion together in case some things that cannot be considered and submitted."

After all, this topic revolves around the system and internal affairs.

The meaning of Liuzhi is that since 50,000 of us cannot be able to make a logistics while fighting on the border while ensuring the logistics of bypassing the cities on the border, then 100,000 people can solve this problem. As for how to maintain 100,000 people, it is what the Central Committee of Si Shang has to consider and has nothing to do with the army.

What the army needs to do is to win field battles under this strategic concept, quickly siege the city, and complete a six-month cycle combat goal.

All of this finally returned to Dangshan City.

Si Shang often practices siege cities, but has never actually fought to capture new cities. Dangshan is a test.

If it can be conquered within one month, then all strategies can be implemented.

If Dangshan cannot be conquered within one month, then the idea of ​​conquering Linzi in three months will prove unrealistic, and the entire strategic concept needs to be changed.

In any case, the visit of envoys from various countries is of great significance.

If Dangshan is captured within one month, it will inevitably drag the countries into the arms race to build cities and cities, and to encourage countries to reform the standing army, reform the military system, reform punishment, and betray the Zhou Li's regulations on building cities, because they will die if they remain unchanged.

If the Si Shang Yishi cannot conquer Dangshan within a month, Si Shang will begin to prepare for defense. If the main force of the Si Shang Yishi cannot conquer Dangshan, then the princes of various countries will want to break through the defensive system with a more stringent number of artillery and a larger number of artillery soldiers, and the fortification areas south of Taoqiu, that would be a dream. They would also control the war within the scope of the Song State, becoming a standard external interference war, and mainly field wars.

After discussing for a while, these people in the army will summarize the pros and cons of the discussion and submit them to them at that time.

Then, the Chief of Staff made a report on the current situation in front of the enemy.

Because one month is the hypothetical time, there is no need to consider field battles and interference from various countries, and the entire battle will start around Dangshan.

Dangshan City is not very big, and the emperor's father Yue Ling is determined to defend Dangshan.

Moreover, because of the possibility of interference from the princes, he did not need to consider the long-term siege, but only needed to persist for half a year.

Therefore, the food problem is not a problem, and the nobles in the army are convinced that the princes will inevitably interfere, and even if they are trapped in the lonely city, their morale will not completely collapse.

The previous removal and cleaning of the external lines made Dangshan an isolated city, with a total of about 15,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 farmers and strong men who lack training were concentrated.

Seven artillery guns and a very solid city defense system.

On the Si Shang side, after the Peiyi Army and the Pengcheng Army joined forces, Dangshan was only a hundred miles away from Pengcheng, and because of the previous lime trade, the repair of roads and some canals did not need to be considered for logistics transportation.

As the absolute main force of Si Shang, there are a total of seven main infantry divisions and 50,000 people who can participate in this siege.

There are more than 80 bronze cannons of various types, two engineer brigades that specialize in digging pits, and 20,000 retired second-line soldiers who can mobilize to help dig pits and transport stones and firewood.

Not counting the comparison of artillery, the comparison of infantry with real combat effectiveness is about five to one to six to one.

In the short term, the weather is also good, at least it doesn't seem to be rainy these days.
