Chapter 2335 Countermeasures
"General Cheng, you are very considerate. However, I have already developed a solution to it. Now, you don't have to consider food and grass and weather issues, we only talk about tactics!"
Zhao Yandao.
"Prince, I remember that in the second year of Jinghe, when we attacked Beidi Capital, the situation was somewhat similar to Baiya County. At that time, Beidi Capital was like Baiya County mentioned by the prince. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The one who defended the city was their experienced veterans of Beidi. At the beginning, it took us three months, and General Du was among them to succeed. Therefore, Prince, I was very puzzled by the prince's proposal to take down the entire Goryeo in three months!"
Another general under Zhao Yan stood up and said.
"This is different from the past. General Peng, do you remember what difficulties our army encountered at the beginning?"
Zhao Yan smiled and asked.
"The court's food and grass have not been transported here for a long time. The weather in Beidi is very different sooner or later. The wounds of soldiers in the army cannot be effectively treated, the medicinal materials cannot be transported and arrived in time, and the sinister poisonous fog of the Beidi Tatars!"
General Peng said without hesitation.
He was very dissatisfied with the court's delay.
Their soldiers who followed Zhao Yan were actually very dissatisfied with the attitude of the court. They used their lives to kill the enemy on the front line, but the rear was not strong enough, and the food, grass, and medicinal materials they gave were not delivered in time and in full.
"What if these problems didn't exist at the beginning? At that time, there were enough food and grass, the soldiers were full and energetic, the war horses could eat full and energetic, and there was enough cotton coats to keep warm at night. The wounded soldiers would not get worse, and there was no poisonous fog. General Peng, you said, if this was the case at the beginning, and with General Du as an insider, how much time could we take to capture Beidi?"
Zhao Yan asked.
"Half a month! At most one month! But the prince, this is obviously impossible. It is true that the soldiers' cotton coats are warmer than before, such as food, grass, medicinal materials..."
General Peng shook his head, looking very pessimistic.
He didn't think that this battle would not be won, but he just felt that this little thing would definitely not be won in three months!
For example, the food and grass they now carry are only enough to attack a Rongyun County.
After conquering Rongyun County, we still have to reorganize the army and wait for the next batch of food and grass.
Although the court is not in charge of the little emperor and Empress Dowager Jiang, he believes that King Yun and Su Xiang will definitely send food and grass here quickly.
However, no matter how fast the speed is, it is not as good as the consumption of their 100,000 troops!
"My generals, I am now solemnly promising that when I go to Goryeo this time, the soldiers will never lack food, clothing, and weapons, and the wounded medicines needed on the battlefield will never be lacking."
Zhao Yan said solemnly.
Ten generals look at me and I look at you, and in the end they believed Zhao Yan.
If the food and grass supply can be supplied in time and the injury can be dealt with in time, for three months, with the courage of their Dayan army, it may be possible to defeat Goryeo in three months.
Once this problem is understood, the real arrangement of troops began.
That night, it was not until the hour of Mao that the generals left Zhao Yan's tent.
"Wan'er, I'm tired of you. I asked you to rest just now."
Zhao Yan took Du Wan'er's hand and said apologetically.
