Chapter 62 Sand table deduction 2

"The Battle of Chilong Gorge is a famous battle studied by monasteries all over the world. It is a typical battle to defeat a powerful enemy with the help of favorable terrain and a small number of troops!"

"In this battle, the leader of our Haotian Empire will be Old General Du Fengzhong! This is also the battle that Old General Du is most proud of!"

Wow!

There were bursts of exclamations and discussions from the students' seats. Many people who knew Du Fengzhong's name turned their attention to the freshman student Du Long. The reason was simple. Du Fengzhong was his grandfather.

Can't help but touch his nose, Du Long is obviously a little embarrassed, about the Battle of Chilong Gorge, he heard his grandfather brag a lot when he was young, he heard it a lot, always thought that the old man likes to brag, never thought, it was really true It is so famous that it is used as a typical teaching material by various monasteries in the Star Continent for study!

The military instructor who was lecturing was interrupted by the sudden exclamation from the audience. Following the direction where many students were looking, he naturally saw Du Long with an embarrassed face. It happened that this military instructor knew him, the capital The famous young master.

"Hehe, that's right! I have talked about the battle of Chilong Gorge countless times, and I never thought about it! Among the new students of the martial arts department this year, there happens to be Du Long, the grandson of the old general Du Fengzhong!" Pointing at Du Long, this The military instructor said with emotion.

After being called by him on the spot, the whole class realized that Du Long, the classmate who dared to love himself, was the grandson of the old general Du Fengzhong. The new students who didn't know before all cast their fiery eyes on him.

Of course, some of them were unhappy, such as Fan Wei, Pu Junjie and others who had a feud with Du Long. For some reason, that Pu Junjie's face was ashen, and his reaction seemed to be a little too big!

"Okay! Let's be quiet for the time being, everyone. From now on, we will replay the battle of the Chilong Gorge through the sand table deduction. By then, I believe everyone will have a deeper understanding of the rules of the sand table army push!" Military repair The tutor continued his lessons, and all the new students also listened attentively.

To be honest, this kind of teaching through props demonstration is many times more interesting than pure paper talk, just like playing a game, it will vividly show a battle in front of everyone!

Chilong Gorge is located on the border of the Three Kingdoms, with the Blue Moon Empire in the southeast, the Haotian Empire in the northeast, and the Chishui Kingdom in the west!

The unique geographical location has created its important strategic position. Whoever controls the Chilong Gorge will have mastered the throats of the Three Kingdoms, and can attack and retreat!

Decades ago, the Chilong Gorge in the land of no man, and the three surrounding countries all realized its importance and wanted to control it in their own hands. The Blue Moon Empire took the lead in sending 100,000 cavalry to march towards the Chilong Gorge. Occupy this strategic location.

Once the Chilong Gorge is occupied by its 100,000 troops, both the Haotian Empire and the Chishui Kingdom will lose the opportunity. In the end, it will be occupied by others, and the Chilong Gorge can only become another dangerous frontier of the Blue Moon Empire!

In this regard, as soon as the Haotian Empire received the news, they immediately dispatched troops and rushed to Chilong Gorge, hoping to occupy it before the Blue Moon Empire occupied it!

It's a pity that the Blue Moon Empire came prepared, and the Haotian Empire's temporary deployment of troops is beyond its reach!

At this critical juncture, General Du Fengzhong happened to be leading 10,000 loyal troops to train at the edge of the monster forest dozens of miles away from Chilong Gorge. go!

The 10,000 Haotian Emperor's soldiers are like divine soldiers descending from the sky, grabbing the Chilong Gorge in front of the Blue Moon Empire, and setting up checkpoints in the Chilong Gorge close to the Blue Moon Empire, notifying the 100,000 troops of the Blue Moon Empire, Chilong Xia is the territory of the Haotian Empire, and they are required to retreat, otherwise it is tantamount to declaring war on the Haotian Empire!

Regarding this, Park Xianglong, who led an army of 100,000 from the Blue Moon Empire, learned from the received information that the Haotian Empire also temporarily sent troops to occupy Chilong Gorge. Due to the sudden incident, they only sent an army of 10,000 people.

Only 10,000 people dare to occupy the Chilong Gorge. How can this make him feel uncomfortable with a 100,000 army?

Therefore, Park Xianglong sent troops on the spot to destroy Du Fengzhong's checkpoint at the mouth of Chilong Gorge, and then led the army to drive straight in, hoping to defeat and drive away the Zhongwu Army before it could gain a firm foothold!

Du Fengzhong, who arrived at Chilong Gorge half a day earlier, had already expected that Park Sang-ryong, the leader of the Blue Moon Empire, would not submit obediently, and made all kinds of preparations to defend against the enemy the moment he arrived.

Since the Blue Moon Empire is a huge Qingyun Grassland close to Chilong Gorge, it has a powerful cavalry regiment, and the soldiers are extremely fast, so they sent a 100,000 cavalry to Chilong Gorge.

In response to this important information, General Du Fengzhong spent half a day setting up layers of barriers to block the cavalry in the Chilong Gorge, and also borrowed the terrain of the Chilong Gorge to send 5,000 soldiers to block the enemy. deep.

Another 3,000 ambushes were set up on the peaks on both sides of the Chilong Gorge. After the enemy army penetrated deep, a large number of temporary triangular wooden horses were set up at the other end of the Chilong Gorge, which directly caused the cavalry of the Blue Moon Empire to lose their high-speed maneuvering and charging capabilities. .

Afterwards, the 5,000 soldiers who had retreated and the 2,000 archers who had been lying in place for a long time, cooperated with the ambush soldiers on the peaks on both sides to throw rocks and logs, and blocked more than 100,000 cavalrymen from the Blue Moon Empire in Chilong Gorge. !

In the end, only half of the 100,000 cavalry were withdrawn, and more than 50,000 people were lost in one battle!

After the war, the Blue Moon Empire issued a solemn protest to the Haotian Empire, saying that the Haotian Empire set up an ambush in the Chilong Gorge to ambush the normally trained Blue Moon Empire cavalry, and demanded that the Haotian Empire compensate for the losses.

Regarding this, the sentry post that Du Fengzhong set up at the mouth of the Chilong Gap became the key point. The Haotian Empire directly rejected the protest of the Blue Moon Empire, saying that there was already a sentry post of the Haotian Empire at the mouth of the Chilong Gap to prevent the army of the Blue Moon Empire from invading. On the contrary, the army of the Blue Moon Empire attacked these checkpoints for no reason, killed a number of sentinels of the Haotian Empire, and demanded that the Blue Moon Empire compensate for the corresponding losses!

After all, it was the Blue Moon Empire that launched the war first, and the Haotian Empire was still a victim, but it was the final victor!

At this point, the Blue Moon Empire knew it was wrong, and after only a symbolic protest, it died down. Although it suffered a huge loss, it could only admit defeat.

Even the 100,000 troops lost most of them in Chilong Gorge. Now that the Haotian Empire is prepared, no matter how many troops you send there, it will be in vain. You can only be dumb and eat coptis!

In this battle, the Chilong Gorge was captured by the Haotian Empire, and its own losses were only two to three thousand, most of which were losses in the blocking battle to show the enemy's weakness and lure the enemy to go deeper. In the northwest of the border with the Blue Moon Empire, there is an additional dangerous pass that is more beneficial to the Haotian Empire!

The strategic significance of this time is extremely important, and directly brought about a strategic balance between the two empires. The Blue Moon Empire, which was originally ambitious due to its strong national power, had to re-examine its relationship with the Haotian Empire. Since then, the two countries have entered into decades of peace. period!

It can be said that the battle of Chilong Gorge brought decades of peace and tranquility to the Haotian Empire, and it is no exaggeration!

Because of this battle, Mr. Du was rewarded by the old emperor. Not only did he own the fiefdom of the Du clan near the forest of monsters, but also the Zhongwu Corps was upgraded from the original 50,000 to the 100,000-strong Zhongwu Chilong Corps. Stationed at the edge of the Forest of Monster Beasts, they are actually guarding against the second invasion of the Chilong Gorge by the Blue Moon Empire!

In the military training hall, the military training instructor was explaining, and the two sand table assistants followed the step-by-step development of the battle of Chilong Gorge, operating on the sand table from time to time, sometimes inserting the general flag in the corresponding area, sometimes sending out secret agents to scout the battlefield situation, sometimes They also sent troops to cut down trees to make wooden horses, and sent troops to the mountains on both sides to accumulate fallen rocks and set up ambush, etc.!

The instructions issued by the generals of the offensive and defensive sides, etc., were perfectly displayed through the sand table, which opened the eyes of all the first-year freshmen present and had a deeper understanding of the rules of the sand table deduction!
