Chapter 302 Lin Wen’s ATM
Of course, long-distance combat also requires methods, and one's own soldiers cannot be sacrificed easily.
To Lin Wen, the fact that the enemy dared to enter the mountains to fight them only meant that they knew nothing about the tactics passed down by the army that relied on the mountains for its survival.
He also knew nothing about Lin Wen's power.
Although he cannot use offensive spells for the time being, he is the man known as the King of Basic Swords. He is very good at [Turning Fossils into Soil] with one hand and [Turning Soil into Mud] with the other hand, and he also has a big move like [Earth-Splitting Technique].
The complex mountainous area is his home turf. He is a local and has a hundred ways to make them unable to stay.
Trying to cross the mountains to attack Changshan County's main force is courting death.
Of course, this is a special tactic, and Lin Wen plans to implement it by "letting the natural disaster suddenly and appropriately strike the enemy's weakest point."
The conventional tactics are to take advantage of the complex environment of the mountains, know their routes of movement in advance, plant mines on the road, set up ambushes, and win by ambush.
This tactic sounds very reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is unreasonable.
What does it mean to “know their course of action in advance”?
Are enemies transparent?
Won’t the enemy conduct counter-reconnaissance?
Won’t the enemy split up his forces?
If more than a dozen assault teams rush out, who can guarantee that they will be detected?
When Qin Luoshuang raised the question, Lin Wen only replied with two brief words.
"I can."
Amid the cheers of a large group of men, Qin Luoshuang felt that all her military theories and strategic qualities had been thrown into vain.
In order to maintain her position in the family, she spent a lot of energy to study at the Imperial Military Academy. Although she was a trainee, she crushed all the imperial elites in the final examination and graduated with the first place. The principal also gave her a medal.
This has always been her honor and she has carried it with her all year round, but she sold it some time ago due to lack of money.
"Well, if this guy wasn't an extraordinary person, Changshan County wouldn't have been able to develop to this extent in such a short period of time."
Qin Luoshuang covered her face and thought.
"It's just an open-ended exam. Questions like 'How can the advantaged side defeat the enemy at the lowest cost?' I can handle that, too."
Suddenly she thought again:
"This kind of detailed tactical information shouldn't have been acquired by that wretched man Qi Mu. In that case, his Dragon Team has returned from the Black Sea Repair Shop?"
"But is he so confident that they can hold down an army of 130,000?"
When Qin Luoshuang asked him her question, Lin Wen's face turned a little unhappy, but he still replied: "Some of it has returned."
Qin Luoshuang asked worriedly, "Is it possible? My agents can only assist in reconnaissance and cannot guarantee all movements."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have special reconnaissance skills."
"……All right."
Qin Luoshuang tried hard to imagine herself as a fool to accept all the weirdness of this guy.
Because no matter how unbelievable it is, he will always be proven right afterwards.
"Maybe there's something I haven't thought of, something at work that's beyond my comprehension."
Qin Luoshuang thought about it, but she guessed it might be some unknown new technology.
After the tactical part is discussed, it is time to discuss the strategic part.
Qin Luoshuang told them clearly that this was only the vanguard of Shizhou, a ragtag army of Shizhou Governor Gu Xuanli.
If the ragtag army wins, they will naturally gain a lot of benefits.
There's no loss if you lose.
Whether he wins or loses, he will make a profit. It can be said that he is already invincible before the battle even starts.
Fang Dashan hated it most when others were invincible. He immediately jumped up and said, "Damn it! I've conquered Shizhou and overthrown his governorship. Let's see how he can get back on track."
He Shangsheng also shouted, "That's right! Break into his lair! Capture that Gu and draw his body into pieces as a sacrifice to the spirits of our brothers in heaven!"
He Shangsheng is the leader of the Black Knife Society. He and his Black Knife Society were harshly suppressed in Shizhou. It is unknown how many brothers died at their hands. They have long had a blood feud with Shizhou.
And precisely because he had witnessed Shizhou's greed and brutality and deeply understood the cruelty of the governor, Lin Wencai specifically asked him to replace Yang Shaohu's job.
He Shangsheng also did a good job.
He described in detail how the bureaucrats in Shizhou colluded with local gentry and bullies, how they exploited the peasants, how they tortured the rebels to make an example of them, and everything he encountered after he led the Black Knife Society in an uprising.
There is no need to add fuel to the fire or embellish any description. Just tell the story exactly as it happened, and it will make people's eyes water.
Officers at all levels quickly realized what a despicable governor Shizhou was, and when they returned to train the soldiers, the results were very good.
Most of the soldiers recruited by Changshan County were farmers and workers. They could empathize with this situation and hated the state government very much.
Therefore, they could understand why Changshan County wanted to go to war and why it wanted to give up the advantageous combat environment.
Because Changshan County and Shizhou are different.
The Changshan County Army and the Shizhou Army are not the same army.
The warriors of Changshan County are not tools or consumables. They know exactly what they are doing and why they are doing it.
They can think and have ideas.
Humans are not machines, but individuals with emotions and thoughts.
If soldiers are merely treated as consumables and tools, then they will only be able to do the work of tools.
Since it is a tool, it doesn't matter who uses it as a tool.
This is also the reason why the human security forces have developed so rapidly—
As long as they believe that Changshan County is strong and the treatment is better than that of Shizhou, they will turn around and join without hesitation and work for a long time.
This is the importance of training.
At present, apart from the lack of generals and the fact that the main leaders all have multiple positions, Lin Wen is still very satisfied with the current situation of the Changshan County army.
Currently, there are four main leaders in the Changshan County Command. Lin Wen is the county chief, and the commander-in-chief is a nominal position.
Not to mention Chief of Staff Qin Luoshuang, she is also the Minister of the County Governor's Security Department, Director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, Lin Wen's ATM, and free laborer, etc.
Yang Shaohu is the deputy county magistrate. He is so busy that he cannot even be present because he is in charge of the "production of 30 million artillery shells". The work has been handed over to He Shangsheng.
Only Commander Fang Dashan is a full-time soldier.
“We must recruit more talent as soon as possible.”
Lin Wen thought.
"Why hasn't my reputation, comparable to that of pornographic books, spread yet? Why haven't Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Zhu, and Lü Bu and the others surrendered yet?"
It is too expensive to use [Xianrenzhilu] to find people, and vaguely finding people is like a lottery.
Lin Wen tried several times, but except for the big prize of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick at the beginning, the ones he got later were all rotten, which wasted a lot of his energy.
While I was thinking about it, the meeting was already discussing the issue of "contacting the Shizhou Chuanluo resistance army."
Qin Luoshuang made it clear to everyone that defeating this ragtag army did not mean victory, and Governor Gu Xuanli would definitely send his elite troops to attack.
The total military strength of Shizhou is dozens of times that of Changshan County, with more material resources and help from many parties.
Changshan County is very weak in comparison and has almost no hope of winning. The fact that no one has come to its aid so far is proof of this.
Therefore, Changshan County's only chance of victory is to cooperate with the rebels within Shizhou to attack Shizhou.
If Changshan County can win this war, it will be able to officially squeeze into the upper echelons of the empire.
In addition to gaining many benefits, the enemy will no longer dare to easily sanction Changshan County, and Changshan County will be able to develop steadily for a long time.
Therefore, this is a very important strategic window period, and this opportunity must be seized.
Otherwise, once the empire returns to normal, it will be extremely difficult for Changshan County, as a county, to squeeze into the empire's structure.
These words made Lin Wen look at Qin Luoshuang with new respect. This analysis showed the spirit of a great strategist.
Sure enough, Fengchu's potential is endless, and it seems that it can be further exploited.
Fang Dashan and other young people were suddenly enlightened. They felt as if the cataracts in front of their eyes had been removed. They had never seen the structure of the empire so clearly.
But when it comes to this issue, there is still no solution.
Chen Xingtai and Yun Qingshui told them that they had had contact with the rebels before, and they seemed to be an army of a larger organization, and the reason for the rebellion was to oppose excessive levies and heavy taxes.
But it was not until the Supreme Council assigned additional food tasks that the situation really took shape.
The local gentry in Shizhou levied heavy taxes and levied taxes indiscriminately under the banner of the empire, and most of the collected grain and property went into their own pockets.
It was impossible for them to pay out a single cent of what originally belonged to them, and the heavy taxes of the empire fell entirely on their heads.
Originally, the rebels were planning to cooperate further with the KMT, but later, with the martial law in Seokju, they lost contact. They only knew that the leader of the rebels was a man named Xu Jieying. There were a total of about 300,000 people, active in the Chuanluo County area in the central and western parts of Seokju.
There is no doubt that this is Shizhou's biggest threat, but how to contact them?
Qin Luoshuang turned her gaze to Lin Wen again.
Lin Wen understood what was meant and asked a question immediately.
[What is the easiest way to contact the Kawano resistance? ]
Cost: 10%
Huh? Why is it the lowest consumption again?
After using the spell, 96% of the spirit remains.
[Go to Ward 512 of Jangsan County First Hospital.]
Um?
