At the Qinghe Lookout Camp, Cheng Guorong, who was free after both sides stopped fighting at night, began to carry out the work brought by his second job.
"Today's topic is only one. Please tell us why we are trying so hard to move the battlefield from outside Zhaoyang City to here."
In the practical class of the Conducting Department of Qinghe College, Lecturer Cheng Guorong assigned him class assignments.
"Commander. I feel..."
A trainee staff officer raised his hand.
"Huh? We're in class now!"
"Yes, Teacher Cheng, I have some opinions."
"Okay, go ahead."
Cheng Guorong walked behind the podium and picked up his big teacup.
"We have four armies in total. Apart from one to defend our homeland, we can actually mobilize three armies to fight. Our total strength is not too weak compared to the Chen Dynasty's army. However, the principal only left one of our armies to defend Zhaoyang, and used the other two armies for other purposes. He must be hoping that we can hold back the main force of the Chen Dynasty here and create opportunities for the other two armies."
"Everyone knows the truth, so it's useless to say it."
Another trainee staff officer curled his lips.
"Mr. Wang, what do you mean?"
The trainee staff officer who had spoken earlier said angrily.
"Mr. Lin, what I mean is, you're just repeating what Teacher Cheng said a few days ago. What's the point? If you like repeating others so much, then why are you still studying Conducting? Wouldn't it be better for you to help develop and upgrade printing technology at the Ministry of Industry?"
Everyone in the classroom burst into laughter.
Cheng Guorong didn't care about such scenes. As a soldier, he had to have a bad temper and a murderous aura. He would think there was something wrong if the classroom was harmonious.
"Okay, Wang Deyong, tell me why we chose this place as the battlefield?"
Cheng Guorong named.
After all, just being able to argue with classmates doesn't show one's ability. One has to be able to say something. If he just knows how to argue with people, Cheng Guorong doesn't mind letting him fail the internship class.
Anyway, there are still many battles to fight in the future, and there are plenty of internship opportunities.
"Teacher Cheng, I think the battlefield can be located anywhere, as long as it's not near Zhaoyang, and the farther away from Zhaoyang City, the better."
Wang Deyong answered confidently.
"Oh? Tell me why."
"Some time ago, our army actually fought a fierce battle with the Chen Dynasty army near Zhaoyang, but neither side was able to defeat the other. Relying on the city of Zhaoyang, our army built a large number of fortifications, and the Chen Dynasty army could not advance even a single step without paying a considerable price.
In order to deal with our army's fortifications, the Chen Dynasty army also began large-scale earthworks and built fortifications on its own front line. This also led to the fact that our army actually had no way to deal with the other side, especially when the principal strictly ordered that advanced weapons were not allowed to be used during this period.
So after a day of fighting, the two sides began to use catapults and other long-range weapons to bombard each other, intending to destroy the other side's fortifications before attacking.
The scale of such battles was large, but the intensity and severity were actually not high, and it was far from achieving the goal of restraining the main force of the Chen Dynasty and consuming their manpower.
To put it bluntly, if the Crown Prince of the Chen Dynasty received an alert from the rear, he could easily leave a small force behind to block us with fortifications while the main force returned to the hinterland to provide support. By then, the offensive and defensive positions would have reversed, and we would be facing the same situation as the Chen people are now.
Therefore, we must create an opportunity for a battle in the open, preferably one that appears fair to both sides, so that we can lure out the main force of the Chen Dynasty. As long as both sides have their troops intertwined, it will be difficult for either side to retreat, and our goal will be achieved."
Wang Deyong's answer was straightforward and straightforward. Cheng Guorong nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Lin Bing and said, "Wang Deyong's answer is correct. If you're still not convinced, you can resolve it privately according to school rules. However, you have to wait until after the war. During the war, both private fights and school competitions are prohibited."
Lin Bing's expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth, but still agreed: "The students are still not convinced, but for the sake of the overall situation, we will invite Wang Deyong to compete with us after the battle."
There is no way to answer him. He is not as good as Wang Deyong, but in private fighting... he is still not as good as Wang Deyong, so let it be. By the time the war is over, I'm afraid everyone will have forgotten it.
Cheng Guorong opened his notebook and carefully wrote: Campus Arena Schedule, Fourth Match, Wang Deyong vs. Lin Bing...
"Well, in case you forget, I've written it down for you. I'll remind you both when the time comes."
Cheng Guorong knew what Lin Bing was thinking, but this young man always gave people the feeling that he was lacking something, so he felt it necessary to be strict with him.
Then he continued, "Wang Deyong, tell me, why did we choose this location? And why did Crown Prince Chen Yu, who's across from us, fall for this trick? This place isn't important at all. He could have just not sent troops here, right? He wouldn't even necessarily come here when he was inspecting the battlefield. So why did he just happen to run into Huang Zong digging in the mud?"
"This...students don't know."
"Well, if you don't know, just say you don't know. That's a good point. Soldiers should have the courage to admit their shortcomings. Pretending to know is more harmful than not knowing at all."
When Cheng Guorong said this, he swept his sharp eyes across the entire classroom. Seeing that all the students were looking directly into his eyes and no one was shy, he continued:
"These are related to psychology and intelligence work. This is also what a qualified commander must know. Today, let's talk about psychology first. What induced Chen Yu to suddenly go on an inspection..."
