Daqin Engineers

Chapter 18 Active Defense

The reason is simple.

If the Qin army is stationed in a city, then Zhang Xuan's idea that defense is greater than offense may be correct.

The three to one force ratio between the offensive and the defensive is also right.

After all, the area of ​​the city is small, and the defense forces can be easily and timely mobilized.

However, this time the Qin army was stationed at the Great Wall, which was more than 400 miles long.

Along the way, I passed the cliffs on the dangerous mountain...

The mobilization of forces and supplies will become a big problem.

Even if you travel eighty miles a day, it will take five days to walk from one end of the Great Wall to the other.

Five days!

This means that reinforcements cannot be made in time during wartime.

Failure to reinforce in time is equivalent to no.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan's defense is greater than offense, and the resulting force comparison is obviously problematic.

In this case, the offensive and defensive sides should not be evenly matched at three to one.

On the contrary, the offense should be greater than the defense, and the ratio should also fall. Qin Jun is three times as good as Zhao Jun.

Of course, it depends on the command.

If Zhao Jiang is smart enough, he will hit the magnetic suspension to adjust the strength of the Qin army here.

Then mobilize troops in the night to raid other parts of weak troops...

This tactic is incomprehensible, and if Zhao Jun uses it, the Qin army with insufficient strength can almost certainly be defeated.

The root cause is that the Qin Army's defense line was too long and had to disperse its forces, while Zhao Jun could concentrate its forces on a certain point.

There is no reason not to win by focusing on fighting and dispersing.

Just when Yang Ting and Zhang Xuan were shocked by Shen Bing's questions, the catkins, who had been standing next to Yang Ting, asked:

"Dare to ask the operator."

"What is this passive defense?"

Shen Bing touched his nose with a slight embarrassment.

No wonder Liu Xu would ask, Qin Shi did not have this term, let alone such a tactical definition.

"This passive defense..."

"That is, as the Lord Two or Five Hundred said, our army is on the wall waiting for the enemy to attack."

"This means that our army gives up all initiative."

"All that can be done is to build walls on the spot, fill up vacancies, and accumulate grain."

The catkins could not help wondering:

"Is this wrong?"

"If we don't keep it like this, how can we keep it?"

In fact, this is what Zhang Xuan and Yang Ting want to ask.

It's just that one of them is a two-five-hundred master and the other is a school lieutenant. Even if some words are not understood, they are embarrassed to speak.

Shen Bing answered without thinking:

"Of course it is active defense."

"As I said before, show the enemy's weakness in the Cixian area and attract the enemy to attack."

Zhang Xuan hummed:

"How do you know that Zhao Jun will definitely attack Ci County?"

"What if Zhao Jun perceives a difference and attacks another place?"

"Doesn't our army collapse without fighting?"

Shen Bing was a little speechless about Zhang Xuan's statement that he was picky in the egg.

"grown ups!"

"War is sometimes just luck."

"We cannot assume that the enemy can see through all our tactics before the war."

"This is a proper way to suffocate the enemy's aspirations..."

Zhang Xuan originally wanted to say something, but when he heard the last sentence, he was choked.

"you you……"

You haven't known how to refute it for a long time, because it is indeed the case.

The catkin laughed with a "poof".

But Yang Ting glared at him and suffocated his smile.

It looked like a smile but not a smile, and seemed to endure very hard.

For this reason, Shen Bing gave Shen Bing a vain look, seeming to blame him for making her gaffe.

Of course, Shen Bing would not wait for Zhang Xuan to organize a speech, and then said:

"What's more, I can make some arrangements later."

"For example, weed grass and flags in weak parts of the Great Wall."

"Another example is to make a small number of troops run around the city."

"This is to confuse Zhao Jun so that he does not know what our army is.

"Then secretly deploy troops to concentrate their forces in Ci County..."

Yang Ting nodded in agreement.

"It's a good plan."

"If the Zhao army is in the middle, at least our army will not face tens of thousands of Zhao army with a few hundred people!"

"If it is a one-to-one match, what if there is no Great Wall natural insurance?"

"I Da Qin will be afraid of Zhao Jun?"

This is the domineering Qin Jun.

Since Shang Yang's Reform and the implementation of the Twenty Military Merit Nomination System, the army of Qin has regarded it as a wolf and a tiger, and the army of the six nations is like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Zhang Xuan was only flushed with anger, but of course he wouldn't let it go. He bowed his hand to Yang Ting:

"School lieutenant, the subordinates think it is impossible."

"Even if I can wait for Zhao Jun to attack Ci County, sooner or later I will always find that our main force is here."

"If Zhao Jun turns to attack elsewhere."

"My Great Wall is full of loopholes everywhere..."

Speaking of this dizzy, he stopped the words, he realized that he had unconsciously quoted Shen Bing's words.

The catkins couldn't help but let out another laugh like a silver bell.

Yang Ting was trying to stop, but when she saw Zhang Xuan's embarrassment, even she herself couldn't hold back her face and snickered.

However, what Zhang Xuan said is somewhat reasonable.

Zhao Jun is not a fool, they know how many troops Qin Jun has.

If the Qin army has more troops in Cixian, it means that other positions must be weak.

At that time, only one turn of the pawn is needed... and it is a scattered game of concentrated fighting.

But Shen Bing certainly thought of this.

Just kidding, although Shen Bing is usually a little confused, he still has this vision.

"That's why we have to take the initiative to defend." Shen Bing said.

Perhaps to divert her attention, Yang Ting immediately asked:

"How can I take the initiative to defend?"

Shen Bing replied:

"The villain thinks that we should deploy spies in the Cixian area in advance."

"As the saying goes, intelligence is the forerunner of war."

"We are blind and deaf without accurate information!"

"Of course you cannot win the war without knowing anything about the enemy."

When Yang Ting heard this, she nodded her head like garlic.

Although what this servant said is old-fashioned, but his words are not rough.

Sun Tzu said: "Wei Zai! Wei Zai! Doing everything (meaning spies)."

Isn't that what you mean?

Shen Bing certainly did not know that his modern vernacular had been identified as "old-fashioned". He went on to say:

"Once we have accurate information, we know when Zhao Jun will turn."

"Or how many troops turn."

Zhang Xuan disagrees.

"so what?"

"Am I waiting to stick to the Great Wall?"

"Could it not be possible to counterattack Zhao Jun?"

Seeing Shen Bing not speaking for a long time, he looked at him blankly.

Zhang Xuan then reacted:

"Do you really want to counterattack Zhao Jun, right?"

Shen Bing bowed deeply to Zhang Xuan, pretending to be admiring:

"The villain is about to say that I will counterattack Zhao Jun when I can divide the army by Zhao Jun."

"It's when Zhao Jun is not well prepared, and when he divides his troops elsewhere, is it an opponent of our army?"

"Two to five hundred main materials and things are like gods, the villain admire! Admire!"

Zhang Xuan looked at Shen Bing and then at Yang Ting. The corners of his mouth twitched as if he wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't say anything.

The surroundings are so quiet that you can hear a needle drop.

Then, somebody couldn't hold back.

"puff……"

...

There was a burst of laughter in the tent.

The female soldiers who had been waiting on both sides with the majesty and majesty at this time had already laughed wildly in disregard of manners.
