Chapter 95: Battle of Wei River Annihilation (5)
The time goes back to the day when Su Cheng and Alisa swam the upper reaches of the Wei River and returned to the barracks to hold a military meeting more than ten days ago.
...
After Su Cheng and Alyssa rode back to the barracks, Su Cheng immediately ordered all the army commanders and deputy army commanders to hold a military meeting in the commander's tent.
The army commanders and deputy army commanders moved quickly. After hearing the call, those who had something to do immediately put down what they were doing and rushed to the commander's camp.
Therefore, after the summoning order was issued, all the army commanders and deputy army commanders came to Su Cheng's commander's camp in just ten minutes.
"Thank you for coming." — After everyone arrived, Su Cheng greeted everyone like this.
"Commander," the commander of the 3rd Army, "why did you suddenly call us for an emergency meeting? Is there something urgent?"
As soon as the commander of the 3rd Army finished speaking, the rest of the commanders and deputy commanders all cast doubtful eyes on Su Cheng.
"As for why I suddenly summoned you all, I will tell you later, let's wait for one thing first, and when that thing arrives, our military meeting can be officially held this time."
After all, Su Cheng showed a mysterious smile.
The army commander and deputy army commanders looked at each other. Although they were full of doubts, they all kept their mouths shut, silently waiting for the arrival of "that thing" that Su Cheng said.
After a while, everyone heard a rush of footsteps approaching here from outside the tent.
"My lord, the sand table you want is ready!"
Afterwards, several soldiers carried a large sand table into the coach's camp.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Su Cheng smiled, "Just put it there."
After several soldiers put the sand table in place, they hurriedly left the commander's camp.
After the soldiers put the sand table in place, the commanders and deputy commanders immediately shifted their attention to the sand table.
"This is..." the commander of the 1st Army frowned, "The topographical map of the Wei River area..."
"The commander of the 1st Army is right!" Su Cheng raised his finger and pointed at the sand table, and said with a smile, "I just sent someone to use soil to make a topographic map of the Weihe area."
After all, Su Cheng took a few steps forward and came to the front of the sand table.
"The reason why I summoned everyone is to hold a military meeting to defeat Allen." Su Cheng smiled, "Please come to this sand table, and I will start explaining my strategy now."
"What? Defeat Allen?" the commander of the Sixth Army exclaimed.
The rest of the army commanders and deputy army commanders also showed surprise.
"Su Cheng... No, boss!" Alisa said with a look of astonishment, "Your so-called strategy can't be the 'water attack' you just mentioned to me, right?"
"The specific content, I will explain in detail later, please hurry to this sand table and hurry up."
This time, Su Cheng's tone was a little more serious.
Hearing Su Cheng's aggravated tone, the army commander and deputy army commander including Alisa immediately reacted, and everyone walked quickly to the side of the sand table.
Soon, the sand table was surrounded by people.
"My strategy is also very simple." Su Cheng said, "My strategy is - water attack!"
When Su Cheng said the word "water attack", Alisa's expression became weird.
When he accompanied Su Cheng to the upper reaches of the Wei River just now, Su Cheng told her that he had thought of a strategy of using the water of the Wei River to launch a water attack. Alisa was in a daze at the time, and she couldn't figure out how Su Cheng would use the water from the Wei River to launch a water attack.
As Alisa expected, after Su Cheng said the word "water attack", the commander of the 6th Army asked in the tone of "did I get it wrong?": "Water attack?"
"Yes, water attack."
"Where did you use the water?"
"Water of the River Wey."
"Wei River?!" The voice of the commander of the 6th Army rose several tones.
"That's right, use the water from the Wei River to launch a water attack."
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, everyone in the tent blinked their eyes a few times.
He looked at the sand table in front of him suspiciously, and then at Su Cheng.
"Maybe everyone is full of doubts." Su Cheng chuckled lightly, "How can we use the water attack with such a low water level and such a slow current in the Weihe River. When I was investigating the upper reaches of the Weihe River with the commander of the 10th Army, The commander of the 10th Army also asked me a similar question, but I didn't answer her question directly."
After hearing what Su Cheng said, Alisa nodded silently.
"It's just," Su Cheng continued, "the reason why I didn't answer her question directly was because I wasn't sure whether my strategy could be successfully implemented, so I didn't answer her directly. After the upper reaches of the Wei River, I discovered that my water attack strategy is completely possible, so I will tell you the details of my water attack strategy now, everyone listen carefully!"
"yes!!"
As soon as Su Cheng's words fell, some army commanders and deputy army commanders echoed loudly, and then they all entered a state of concentration, ready to listen carefully to every word Su Cheng said next.
"I plan to meet Alan right here in the Wei River, and start a decisive battle with Alan here in the Wei River." Su Cheng said.
"The water level of the Wei River is indeed very low, the water flow is indeed very slow, and the water volume is indeed very small," Su Cheng continued slowly, "but this does not mean that this Wei River has no water to use."
"The amount of water in the Wei River is indeed very small, but since the water is low, can't we just store it?"
After all, Su Cheng showed a strange smile.
"Water storage?" Alisa frowned.
"This is what I just thought of when I was by the Wei River." Su Cheng continued, "After seeing the ant being washed away by the river, the inspiration came at once."
"My idea is to find a suitable place in the upper reaches of the Wei River, where cloth bags filled with river sand and stones will be filled to block the upper reaches of the Wei River! These water-blocking cloth bags are similar to 'dams' ’, blocking the upstream water so that a large amount of water can be stored.”
"That's why I just took the commander of the 10th Army to walk upstream along the west bank of the Wei River. The purpose is to see if there is a suitable place in the upper reaches of the Wei River to build a 'dam' to block the water."
"It's quite lucky. On the upper reaches of the Wei River, there is a section that is narrower than other places, which is suitable for building a 'dam' here to block the water."
As soon as Su Cheng's words fell, Alisa suddenly remembered the narrow section of the Wei River that she saw last when she and Su Cheng walked up the Wei River just now.
Alisa thought to herself:
The place Su Cheng said is suitable for building a "dam" refers to that place.
At this moment, the commander of the 3rd Army suddenly said:
"But... Coach, you build a 'dam' to store water, what do you want to use the stored water for?"
"It is used to divide the Allen Army into two halves."
"Separation?"
Su Cheng nodded, then pointed to a long and deep ditch on the sand table in front of him, and said:
"This deep ditch is the River Wey."
"And we are now on the west bank of the Wei River." Su Cheng pointed to the west side of the ditch.
"If we stay on the west bank of the Wei River, judging from Alan's current position and marching route, when Alan leads the army to stop us, they will definitely come to the east bank of the Wei River." Su Cheng added Pointing to the east side of the ditch.
"That is to say, if we stay on the west bank of the River Wei, Allen will definitely come to the east bank of the River Wei."
"We will again be separated by a river and face off on both sides of the river, just like the last battle at Elon's Ferry."
"When our army and Allen's army faced each other across the Wei River, our army first sent some people to cross the river and attack the east bank first."
Su Cheng took out a few black chess pieces while talking, and then moved the black chess pieces from the west bank of the Wei River to the east bank of the Wei River.
"The purpose of the group of people we sent was to lure the enemy, to lure Allen to lead his army across the river to the west bank."
Su Cheng moved the black chess pieces back to their original positions, and at the same time moved the white chess pieces from the east bank to the west bank.
"When Allen led a part of the army to the west bank, it was time for the water we stored upstream to play a role."
After all, Su Cheng brought a water cup from the side, then moved the cup to the "upstream" of the ditch on the sand table, and then poured water into the ditch.
The water flows down the ditch "downstream".
"This finger of mine is the 'dam' made of cloth bags used to block water."
Su Cheng stretched out his right index finger and pressed it on a certain part of the "upstream" of the ditch.
After Su Cheng's index finger blocked the "upstream" water, the water flowing to the "downstream" became much less.
"After luring Allen to lead a part of the army to the west bank of the Wei River, we will destroy the 'dam' that blocked the water."
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, he suddenly moved his right index finger away.
After the finger blocking the water flow was removed, the water flowing to the "downstream" increased suddenly, and the water level in the "downstream" skyrocketed a lot.
"After the water level of the Wei River soared, it was able to split the Allen Army in half. Because the water level of the Wei River became higher, the rear road was cut off, and the army on the west bank could not retreat to the east bank, and the army on the east bank could not support them. West Bank."
"We took the opportunity to launch a general offensive of the whole army, and defeated all the troops remaining on the west bank!"
After all, Su Cheng waved his hand, and brushed the white chess pieces stranded on the "west bank of the Weihe River" to the ground. After these white chess pieces fell to the ground, they were all broken into pieces.
"But, commander." A deputy commander said suddenly, "How can you be sure that our lure will work? What if Allen doesn't send troops to chase after our bait?"
"As for this, you don't have to worry about it." Su Cheng smiled, then nodded his head, "In the half a month before the army set off, I was studying Alan's information every day."
"After half a month of in-depth research on Alan, I have a little understanding of Alan, so I'm sure-Alan will definitely send troops to chase our bait!"
Su Cheng smiled confidently.
"Alan is a very smart man, but because he is so smart, the actions he will take are easier to guess."
"Alan must also be very clear. Although he won a big victory in the last battle at Elon Ferry and caused great damage to our army, the army under his command still has a certain battle with us. power gap."
"Therefore, in order to bridge the gap between the two armies, Allen will definitely try his best to weaken us."
"And I plan to send an entire army, that is, 20,000 people, to act as bait. Such an excellent opportunity to weaken our army, the smart Allen will definitely not let it go."
"On the other hand, the terrain on both sides of the Wei River is flat, and it can be seen at a glance whether there is an ambush. Therefore, when Alan senses that there is no ambush and 20,000 people are at a disadvantage in attacking at the same time, and retreats back, will he not seize this opportunity to weaken it? Us?"
"Moreover, Allen is very likely to send Iron Armored Paladins to pursue them. After all, Iron Armored Paladins are the most destructive troops in Allen's hands right now, and they are suitable for chasing the enemy."
"Also, Alan is even very likely to bring the Iron Armored Paladins to chase after him. I can see from Alan's previous record that in order to increase the power of the cavalry attack, Alan is a person who likes to bring the cavalry in person." Chargers."
"It would be best if Alan personally led the army to pursue us. If he didn't come to pursue us, it's fine. As long as he can swallow the enemy troops stranded on the West Bank, it can also cause great damage to the enemy troops."
As soon as Su Cheng's words fell, the whole tent was shrouded in silence.
After a while, the commander of the 1st Army opened his mouth and said:
"Boss, is this your plan?"
Looking at the sand table in front of him, the commander of the 1st Army muttered, his tone full of astonishment.
