Satellite images show that the African army has finally learned the tactics of our country 180 years ago! The Sudanese rebels are besieging the city of Al-Fashir. On the outskirts of the city, a 31-kilometer earthwork trench has been built to encircle it!
The African army has finally learned the tactics from the Taiping Heavenly War period of our country. The Qing army used earthwork trenches to block Anqing, earthwork trenches to block Jiujiang, and earthwork trenches to block Nanjing.
Back then, the Xiang Army relied on earthwork trenches to encircle the Taiping rebels. Not only could this prevent the Taiping rebels from breaking out, but it could also change the entire defensive situation.
Thus, what should have been a siege by the Xiang Army became a siege by the Taiping rebels; otherwise, the Taiping rebels would have been trapped and starved to death. The Xiang Army established mobile forces outside the encirclement to specifically attack the Taiping reinforcements. This was a long-term war of attrition, a competition of overall strength.
This strategy not only can encircle the main target, but also is the basis for encircling the city and attacking the reinforcements. The Sudanese rebel's rapid response force should be waiting for the Sudanese government army's reinforcements to move out.
