Chapter 27 Scissorhands (continued)

The war on the chessboard is continuing, and Yuwen Wen watched with an interesting view. This kind of "war games" was a "simulation game" he formulated by himself. After more than ten years of continuous improvement, the relevant rules have become very operational.

Now, he watched the top students command the "Zhou Army" to carry out the "Liaodong Battle".

The battle background of the war chess performance was that Goguryeo invaded western Liaoning at the beginning of the year, so the court sent 300,000 troops to advance eastward and target Liaodong, and wanted to teach Goguryeo a lesson.

The purpose of the battle was to attack the Liaodong strongholds in Goguryeo: Jian'an City, Anshi City, and Liaodong City, preparing for the future Zhou State to conquer Liaodong.

At this time, the Zhou army navy set out from Laizhou, crossed the sea and headed north, attacking Duli and Beisha City on the Liaodong Peninsula on the opposite side. With the help of the catapult and the sky-blasting thunder, they quickly captured these two important places.

Yuwen Wen knew that Duli and Beisha City were located in the later Lushun and Dalian areas, and were the important place of the Liaodong Peninsula.

The Zhou army used this as a transfer place for food, grass and grass, and used the navy to transport a large amount of food and grass to support the main army that set out from Yingzhou and passed through Liaoze lightly.

Another navy division arrived at the western coast of Goguryeo, showing the intention of landing and attacking its capital Pyongyang, in order to restrain its elite troops and prevent the other side from effectively reinforcing Liaodong.

The main force of the Zhou army who passed through Liaoze divided his troops to build Liaokou City (port) near the entrance of the Liao River, using it as a berthing port for grain transport ships to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass.

With sufficient food and supplies, the Zhou army immediately launched a strong attack on the Liaodong stronghold in Goguryeo. The Goguryeo army did not have the advantage in its military strength, so it defended the city. The Zhou army's siege weapons were scattered planes and thunder.

The Liaodong strongholds in Goguryeo are basically mountain cities built on the mountain, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although they are "well prepared", the turtle shells seem to be not so hard in front of the Zhou army's catapults and thunder.

Everything went smoothly and the Zhou army had a great chance of victory. At this moment, the Marinha tribe upstream of the Liao River "send envoys to seek advice" and hoped to "assist the war" and redeem their sins.

These Marine tribes had just invaded western Liaoning with Goguryeo not long ago, but ended up returning in disgrace. Now they are coming here "anyway", perhaps because of their sincerity or as a false surrender.

The Mariner tribe has a large number of people. If you get this help, it will be of great benefit to the war. But what if the other party is ill-behaved and stabbed the knife in the back at a critical moment?

The choice of "Chief of Zhou Army" is to give these tribes some cloth money as a reward. As for participating in the war and cheering, it is not necessary.

Then they divided their troops to guard the upper reaches of the Liao River, guarded the left wing of the army (north wing), and beware of changes in various units of the Marine.

Seeing this, the students present felt that the situation was almost certain because they had no flaws.

Goguryeo was beaten and hugged his head. Even if the troops of the Marine tribes with unknown intentions were insidious, their army was prepared for a long time. Even if the other party was raiding the Liucheng in Yingzhou, their food route was not in western Liaoning, but on the sea, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

They knew the nickname of "Scissors Hand", because the other party likes to divide the troops and surround the left and right, spreading the upper and lower blades like scissors, and then cut the target with a sudden "click".

Now it seems that our side is as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no room for the other side to use their left and right wings to detour, and the battle situation is very stable.

Yu Wenwen, who was quietly watching the deduction, also felt that the students adopted good tactics and thoughtfully the layout, but...

A flaw was revealed.

A true gentleman who watched chess without saying anything, Yuwen Wen yawned and continued to watch the battle.

As time passed (war games round), it was September. Although storms blew in the southeast coastal areas (die rolled out), the "Meteorological Observatory" with coastal warnings has won shelter for the Zhou Dynasty naval army.

In Liaodong, the Zhou army on the middle road was about to break through the Liaodong city. The Goguryeo army trapped in other cities was suppressed by the Zhou army and was unable to reinforce. At this moment, the main enemy cavalry carried out a breakthrough in the middle road.

The Zhou army front, which looked impeccable, was instantly broken through by the opponent.

The Goguryeo Army, which attacked with elite cavalry, attacked from the edge of the main force of the Zhou army that attacked Liaodong City, and attacked the "Liaokou" of the Zhou army port city at the mouth of the Liao River with its fearless aura.

This scene made the students in the lobby of the martial arts hall stunned.

According to the rules of war chess deduction, they were looking at the "global chessboard" at this time, and the situation of the two armies was clear at a glance, while the chessboards of both sides of the game only saw their own chess pieces and the enemy chess pieces within the "view range".

In addition to the "view range", it is a fog for the chess player. He can see the terrain but does not know the mobilization of the opponent's troops. This is the so-called "fog of war".

The specific rules are no longer mentioned. The audience with a "big-eye perspective" were shocked by the enemy cavalry who suddenly broke through the middle. It is conceivable how the outstanding students who took the black first would feel in the face of the elite enemy cavalry cluster that suddenly emerged from the "fog of war".

The battle situation suddenly changed, and the Goguryeo Army, which had been fighting desperately, burned Liaokou, which had accumulated countless food and grass at the cost of more than half of the loss.

Once the food road was cut off, according to the rules of war chess, the morale of the Zhou army in various places began to decline and the combat effectiveness also began to decline.

The tragedy happened later.

Seeing the Zhou army (black chess) defeated on Liaodong (chessboard), the students were silent. They knew that if this happened on the real battlefield, they could only describe it in one sentence:

The defeat was like a mountain of fall, and the casualties were counted.

No one expected that such a thing would happen. It is said that an army would be defeated if it suffered more than 30% of its casualties. How could this Goguryeo cavalry have suffered more than half of its casualties and still be able to break the city?

This is not right!!

"Please be careful, students! Please be careful!"

After saluting the emperor, a teacher walked to the chessboard and said loudly: "After a while, please review the war games. Please pay attention to it, go back and write a piece of your experience, and hand it over in class the next day!"

......

In the compartment, Shangshu Zuo Pushe Yang Su was reviewing official documents. Several officials were busy aside, moving away a large number of official documents that he had already reviewed, and then carrying more official documents in. The chessboard hanging on the wall next to him was reviewing several military school teachers.

As the rumored "scissors hand", Yang Su played the Goguryeo coach today, and beat a group of "Zhou Army generals" who were still young and fucked away by breaking through the middle.

All of this was done by him when he reviewed the official documents.

Very relaxed.

As the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, Yang Su was very busy. If the emperor had not ordered him to "stop the blow" of military academy students, he would have been too lazy to waste time playing war games with children.

But the official business was really busy, so Yang Su worked here and accompanied the students to have some fun.

Putting down his pen, he looked at the chessboard. Today, these students performed much better than before. It seems that this kind of war chess performance is still good.

However, a true general is still tempered on the battlefield, just like a knife, neither sharp nor sharp.

In Yang Su's opinion, although the Zhou army came in a fierce manner and developed the means of sea food, it could indeed effectively alleviate the logistical problems. However, one side of the Zhou army had two hidden dangers, and improper handling would become the ultimate flaw in defeat.

First, the strongholds on the Liaodong Peninsula, such as Duli and Beisha City, require time to operate. If the city is attacked after the war begins, then the troops will be divided to guard it to ensure the safety of the sea food route.

Second, the various units of the Marine upstream of the Liao River need time to win over and divide, so that when the Liaodong Campaign begins, the army will have a stable flank (north) and otherwise they will be divided into defense.

The troops were divided into the south, the north, and the middle route was also divided into troops to attack the city (siege the city, block the aid), which meant that the forces on the entire front from south to north were diluted.

As long as the generals of Goguryeo are not mediocre, they will be more decisive and rewarded, so that elite cavalry can break through in the middle and attack the "Liaokou City" where the Liao River is stockpiling a large amount of food and grass at the mouth of the Liao River. The battle situation will be reversed instantly.

For Yang Su, this flaw is too obvious. If he can't see it, it will be useless to fight for so many years.

He looked at the chessboard on the wall that covered Liaodong, western Liaoning, Qingzhou, and some areas of Goguryeo, and couldn't help but think of his son Yang Xuangan.

As an assistant, Yang Xuangan followed the Guanjunying envoy to Yingzhou to "Add the Military Eye". He seemed to be just a follower, but his meaning was not ordinary.

The court must have to deal with Goguryeo, and Yang Xuangan went to western Liaoning as the assistant of the military commander, which means that Yang Xuangan will participate in the Liaodong battle in the future. If he has this opportunity to make military achievements, he can imagine that the future of the career will be bright.

Yang Su could see that if the Liaodong Battle was really there, the emperor would definitely let Prince Weihan take credit for eating meat, then Yang Xuangan would go to drink soup with him, which would be good.

The son has a future and is in a high position and power as a father, so the Yang family is safe and sound.

Yang Su was much relieved about this. Back then, as a general of the Chang'an court, he killed the royal family Yu Wenzhou. As if today, the son seemed to be considering continuing the incense for Yu Wenzhou, Yang Su was afraid that the other party would bring up old accounts.

Now it seems that he was too worried, and the young emperor seemed to have a good temperament.

Then Yang Su felt that he was ordered to teach the students at this military academy, so he should be serious.

Of course, these young boys are not qualified to make him really serious.

Yang Su was skeptical about whether military academy education could achieve the effect that the emperor had imagined, but he could see that the emperor's intention was quite small.

That is a future matter. He is old and cannot survive in the future. What will happen to his son Yang Xuangan needs to consider.

Yang Su was about to continue to review the official documents, but suddenly a teacher came in and said that His Majesty had an order that the two sides would have to play an extra game after a 15-minute break.

Today, the emperor visited the military academy and watched the military chess performance in the martial arts lecture hall. Of course, Yang Su knew about this, so he asked: "I don't know what your Majesty has to ask for the next performance?"

"Return to Zuo Pushe, Your Majesty allows the students to use the new army." After the teacher said that, he presented a document: "Zuo Pushe, this is the value and characteristics of the new army in war games. Please check it out."

Yang Su took the information, looked at it, and then became energetic.
