Chapter 1191: Proposal

Two-pronged approach?

Everyone looked at Yun Zheng in confusion.

Yun Zheng broke off a branch and placed it across the Dan River, smiling and explaining: "As long as our small force captures Juncheng, we will sink the ships carrying soldiers and food to stop the enemy's navy! The rest of you, hurry up and build a pontoon bridge so that our follow-up large force can quickly enter Juncheng..."

Such a two-pronged approach?

Everyone's eyes fell on the sand table.

You know what, this is a good idea!

In this case, the only thing to worry about is how long it will take to build the pontoon bridge.

Before the pontoon bridge is built, the army that breaks into Juncheng is likely to be counterattacked by heavy enemy forces, and this will be their most difficult time.

At this time, Shen Luoyan pointed at the sand plate and asked, "If the enemy's navy cannot enter Danshui, can they go ashore from here and attack our rear army?"

Jia Yao smiled and said, "If they really dare to go ashore, we will have the advantage."

"Correct!"

Yu Shizhong said confidently: "We can't beat them at sea, but if they dare to come ashore to attack our rear army, they are courting death!"

Once on land, that's their home ground.

"Maybe not?"

Qin Qihu said: "If their navy does not go ashore to attack our rear army, they can directly climb ashore from their own territory, cut across diagonally, and reach the other side of the Dan River to prevent us from building a pontoon bridge. They can also cut off our contact with the people in Juncheng and even attack Juncheng from both sides..."

As he spoke, Qin Qihu picked up the small flag he had prepared temporarily and stuck it directly opposite the Danshui.

Next, they started to deduce around Juncheng, Danshui and Xiongjin.

Sometimes they played the role of generals of Daqian and sometimes played the role of generals of the Li Dynasty.

You tell me a plan, and I will find a way to break it.

Or, I won’t follow your routine at all. You fight yours and I fight mine, and we’ll see who can’t stand it first.

In fact, they had little doubt about taking Juncheng.

As long as they use explosives to blow open the gate of Juncheng, or find a way to trick the gate of Juncheng open, and use the elite Blood-Cloth Army as the vanguard, they will almost certainly be able to capture Juncheng.

Unless, the number of defenders in Juncheng is beyond their imagination.

After all, the people of the Blood Clothes Army, even if they don’t have war horses, are still the elite among the elite.

Not to mention being able to defeat a hundred with one, defeating ten shouldn't be a big problem.

Of course, if the defenders of Juncheng are also the elite among the elite, that would be a different story.

But the Le Dynasty itself was a cold and harsh place, and it was estimated that it did not have so many elite troops.

Now, the biggest trouble is how to defend Juncheng after taking it.

How to ensure that the army and food supplies behind them can enter Juncheng safely.

After everyone had deduced for a while, Yun Zheng said, "Actually, I had thought about fighting in the fall, but I don't know the climate there. If I fight in the fall, I have to time it very accurately..."

There are actually many benefits to attacking Juncheng again in autumn.

For example, they had plenty of time to prepare food and fodder.

Moreover, once they captured Juncheng, it would be winter if they held out any longer.

If the enemy counterattacks Juncheng in winter, they, as the defenders, will definitely have more advantages.

In addition, if they had managed the timing well, by the time the Le Dynasty's navy arrived, the Dan River would have already frozen.

In this way, they don't need to use boats to block the river.

Before the Dan River froze, they could use cargo ships to transport troops and food.

But this requires a very accurate grasp of the climate.

No one can explain the climate.

Even those people from Zhenhe could not guarantee that they could accurately predict the time when the elixir water would freeze.

In addition, there is still a long time until autumn. By autumn, the Le Dynasty may have known about their attack and have made sufficient preparations.

In a sense, they are now racing against time.

The faster they run, the greater the possibility of catching the Li Dynasty off guard.

He had always disagreed with attacking in winter, not only because fighting in winter was indeed difficult, but also for this reason.

After listening to Yun Zheng's analysis, everyone started thinking again.

If you grasp it well, autumn is indeed the most suitable time to fight.

But fighting in the autumn would indeed give the Le Dynasty more time to prepare.

After such a long time, the news that they had forced the Mongols and Zhenhe to surrender should have reached the Le Dynasty.

The Le Dynasty may have noticed that they were taking action against them.

In this case, the Le Dynasty might also be actively preparing for war.

By autumn, the Le Dynasty would probably be fully prepared.

All of a sudden, everyone started to worry.

Miaoyin pondered for a while, and then asked tentatively: "Can we use our navy to contain the enemy's navy? Or, create a false impression for the enemy, making them mistakenly think that we will attack Xiongjin directly, so as to relax the vigilance of Juncheng?"

"To be honest, I don't have much confidence in our navy."

Yun Zheng smiled bitterly: "The navy is too poor, and has basically never been in actual combat. Once a problem occurs, our navy will lose everything..."

The navy is different from other armies.

There are too many factors that affect victory or defeat at sea.

An inexperienced navy might be wiped out before even encountering the enemy.

Speaking of the navy, everyone loses their temper.

They haven't even boarded the navy's warships, so how can they be qualified to talk about the navy's tactics!

For them, this is indeed their blind spot.

"Let's do this first!"

Seeing that everyone was worried, Yun Zheng stopped the simulation in time, "This is just a preliminary simulation now. When we have more detailed information and maps later, we can perform another simulation."

They are not going to finalize this matter in the next two days.

Let's see the situation first.

If all else fails, the only option is to use the imperial navy.

Just as he was thinking secretly in his heart, Ye Zi suddenly said: "Why must we take the initiative to attack?"

Ok?

Hearing Ye Zi's words, everyone was stunned.

They were the ones who wanted to attack the Le Dynasty. Didn't they have to wait for the Le Dynasty to take the initiative to attack instead of taking the initiative?

Yun Zheng's eyes lit up, and he was the first to react, "You mean, we design a plan to lure the Li Dynasty's army to attack us? First, we will frighten and cripple them, and then take advantage of the situation to seize Juncheng?"

Before this, all of their focus was on how to attack and how to block the enemy's reinforcements.

No one ever thought that they could let the enemy attack them actively!

Use defense as offense!

Instead, it was Ye Zi, who had no idea how to lead troops in battle, who woke him up with one word.

Suddenly, Yun Zheng wanted to hug Ye Zi and give her a kiss.

Ye Zi looked at Yun Zheng's wolf-like eyes shyly, and smiled: "Aren't you the best at setting traps for others? You can dig a trap for Li Chao and make them jump into it, isn't that enough?"

"Yes! That's so right!"

Yun Zheng laughed loudly, "We limited our own thinking from the beginning!"

Knew it!

Father, like son!

As long as the Le Dynasty sees enough benefits, or has bait that the Le Dynasty cannot refuse, the Le Dynasty is likely to take the initiative to attack them!

Although this method may not necessarily succeed, it is definitely worth a try!

The more Yun Zheng thought about it, the more excited he became. His eyes began to turn to Ye Zi with a hint of suspense again...
