Chapter 199
After handling Shangguan Yuanrang's matter, Tang Yin returned to the tent, looked around everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Peng Haochu, asking: "General Peng, what do you think of Zhong Wen?"
Peng Haochu pondered for a moment and said seriously: "The enemy's camp is solid and built against a mountain, making it vulnerable to attack. This time Zhong Wen expected that our army would steal the camp and prepare an ambush. Moreover, the Central Army under Zhong Wen's command was very
He is brave and capable of commanding on the battlefield, which shows that this person must be very proficient in the art of war."
The art of war was what Tang Yin was least good at. It was okay for him to lead a few thousand men to fight against a small enemy army, but to command an army of hundreds of thousands to fight the enemy in a legionary battle, he was not good at it and did not know how to do it.
Go fight. After listening to Peng Haochu's analysis, he frowned secretly, looked around at the commanders of the Pingyuan Army, Sanshui Army, Chifeng Army, and the Directly Affiliated Army, and asked: "Who has a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"
At this time, Qiu Zhen said: "Sir, Zhong Wen's group must be wiped out as soon as possible. Once it is delayed, not only will the enemy camp be consolidated, but the Ning Army behind will also catch up. By then, Zhong Wen will join forces with the Ning Army, and we will
It will be more difficult for Fang to cope with it.”
Tang Yin also understood this. The key issue was how to defeat the enemy now.
All the generals lowered their heads in thought and didn't say anything for a long time. When Tang Yin saw this, his heart burned. These people were usually eloquent, but why were they silent at the critical moment? He took a deep breath and said: "Since none of you have a good plan,
I think this is it, let me go to Zhong Wen’s camp, steal his camp again, and take advantage of the melee to sneak into the enemy camp and find an opportunity to kill Zhong Wen!”
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads. Peng Haochu smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, Zhong Wen is surrounded by highly skilled military generals and many bodyguards. Even General Yuan Rang cannot get close to him, let alone..." He did not say the next words.
Go down, but the meaning is already obvious, even Shangguan Yuanrang can't do it, let alone Tang Yin?
Although the shadow clone is powerful and ever-changing, it cannot withstand the art of insight. Once its flaw is discovered, it will be difficult for the army to escape. If the clone is broken up, the spiritual energy and vitality of the real body will be greatly damaged, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Tang Yin also spoke angrily. He had already used a shadow clone to assassinate Zhong Tian. The other party must have taken precautions. If he used the clone again to assassinate Zhong Tian, it would be difficult to succeed. He said solemnly: "This won't work, that won't work, then you tell me
what to do?"
Peng Haochu sighed softly and said: "If the enemy soldiers stand firm, then lure the snake out of the hole. If the enemy soldiers are not moved, then cut off their food routes and encircle them. Over time, they will become chaotic without fighting. Only 400,000 Ning troops will be able to do so."
Watching from behind, if our army besieges Zhong Wen with all its strength, and Ning's army suddenly comes out from behind, our army will be attacked from both sides, which will be extremely disadvantageous."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded while listening, and murmured: "If we attack Zhong Wen, we must find a way to hold back Ning's army." As he spoke, his eyes rolled around, scanning the generals' bodies.
Go, finally turned back and looked at the map of Jinguang County hanging on the tent.
At this time, Liang Qi looked around and saw that no one was speaking. He smiled slightly and said, "It's not difficult to hold back Ning Jun."
"Oh?" Tang Yin was refreshed. He immediately turned around, looked at Liang Qi and asked, "What did General Liang say?"
"According to our intelligence, the Ning army has just entered Jinguang County. If they want to join Zhong Wen and his group, they must go to Jinhua City. Otherwise, they will have to take a detour, which will delay a lot of time. Sir, can you
Send a surprise force to capture Jinhua City first and hold the key points. In this way, the marching speed of Ning's army will be drastically reduced, and you can fight Zhong Wen with peace of mind!" Liang Qi said.
Peng Haochu thought carefully about Liang Qi's idea, shook his head repeatedly, and said: "That's inappropriate! What if after capturing Jinhua City, the Ning army did not take a detour, but chose to besiege it? Then wouldn't our brothers who went to capture Jinguang City not want to do it?
Stuck to death in the city?"
Liang Qi said faintly: "It is a feasible solution to obtain greater results at a smaller price. If the Ning army really chooses to besiege the city, the brothers in the city will have no choice but to hold on to this road to the end or push back the enemy.
Or just hold on until the main force of our army has eliminated Zhong Wen's troops, and then turn around to rescue them."
Peng Haochu shook his head like a rattle. If the Ning army chose to attack the city, they would never retreat easily. Instead, they had to wait until their main force eliminated Zhong Wen before rushing over for reinforcements. How long would that take? How could the brothers in the city do that?
Hold on for so long? He said quietly: "Risk! It's too risky to do this!"
Listening to the discussion between the two of them, Tang Yin tapped his forehead and wondered whether Liang Qizhi's plan was feasible. As Peng Haochu said, it was indeed too risky, and how many brothers should be sent there? Jinguang County has no troops available.
It is possible for our side to march straight in, but if we send too few troops, we may not be able to withstand a round of attacks by the Ning Army of the Forty Army. But if we send too many troops, we will not be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive.
If they are defeated, then why don’t the whole army be annihilated? Even if Zhong Wen and his men are successfully eliminated in the end, our own vitality will be greatly damaged. How can we compete with Ning’s army next?
Tang Yin, who was so adventurous, felt very embarrassed at this time. He was undecided and couldn't make up his mind. At this moment, someone suddenly said loudly: "Sir, I think General Liang's plan is feasible. I am willing to take 20,000 brothers there to withstand the situation."
Ning Jun!"
Tang Yin and everyone around him went out looking for fame. They saw Shangguan Yuanrang, who had just received a stick from the Ten Army, approaching from the outside. Seeing that he was walking in a hurry, it seemed that he had not been punished at all. Of course, the stick from the Ten Army was against him.
It was just a trivial matter, and since Tang Yin did not have strict requirements for military discipline, the soldiers who carried out the execution would not really be cruel to him.
Looking at Shangguan Yuan Rang, Tang Yin was silent.
Shangguan Yuanrang was anxious to make up for his fault, and said in a hurry: "Sir, you only need to give me 20,000 brothers. With me in Jinhua City, I can guarantee that Ning's army will not be able to cross the thunder pond even half a step!"
With Guan Yuanrang's bravery, it is natural for him to go and capture Jinhua City. But the problem is that after the battle in the early morning, his spiritual energy has been greatly consumed. Can anyone bear it after repeated expeditions? Tang Yin also has such concerns
.Looking at Shangguan Yuan Rang, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said: "If Yuan Rang attacks, this plan will be very reliable, but you can't go alone, you have to add one more person."
"Who?" Shangguan Yuanrang and everyone in the room asked in unison.
"Me!" Tang Yin pointed at his nose and answered simply.
"Ah--" Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this. No one thought that Tang Yin would take risks himself at this time. The first one to stand up and object was Qiu Zhen, but he knew Tang Yin's temperament very well and knew that forcing him to persuade would be a mistake.
No, you have to find a good enough reason to stop him.
Qiu Zhen said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency is the commander-in-chief of our army. Naturally, he must stay in the army to command the overall situation. Only with Your Excellency here can the morale of our officers and soldiers be high. They can annihilate Zhong Wen and his men as soon as possible and turn around to reinforce Jinhua."
City, but if your Excellency leaves, the fighting spirit of the soldiers will also be weakened and the battle will be prolonged, which will be extremely detrimental to the brothers over there in Jinhua City. I hope your Excellency will think twice."
After listening to his words, everyone nodded in agreement.
However, Shangguan Yuanrang likes to fight with Tang Yin very much, and naturally hopes that he can go with him. He didn't think so much, and seeing everyone blocking him, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "I will go on the expedition with you. If you don't tell me, what will happen to the people outside?"
How do brothers know that the master has left? If the master is here, your fighting spirit will be high. If the master is not here, you will have no fighting spirit. What kind of general are these? What is the use of you? I think anyone who can replace you will be better than you.
!”
Shangguan Yuanrang was not polite at all and spoke directly, making everyone blush with what he said. However, no one could do anything to him. First, Shangguan Yuanrang was too brave and indispensable in the army.
Second, Tang Yin loved Shangguan Yuan Rang, which everyone could see. Furthermore, the Shangguan family had too much power under Tang Yin, and each of the four brothers occupied a pivotal position.
When Tang Yin heard this, instead of being angry, he raised his head and laughed, looked around at everyone, and said, "Did you all hear it? Yuan Rang has said everything I want to say, what else do you think?"
It seems that Tang Yin is determined to go to Jinhua City. Everyone looked at each other and said nothing. Qiu Zhen frowned and asked, "How many troops are you planning to bring?"
Tang Yin thought silently for a moment and said: "Twenty thousand brothers are too few, and it will be difficult to cope with the enemy's siege. Yuan Rang and I will lead 50,000 soldiers there. If there is enough food and grass, it should not be a problem to hold on until you come to help!"
Since there is no way to stop it, we can only do what Tang Yin said. Qiu Zhen nodded and said: "These 50,000 soldiers must be elite and selected from the entire army!"
"No need." Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Just divide 50,000 brothers from the direct army."
"grown ups……"
Tang Yin interrupted Qiu Zhen's words and said sternly: "Standing to fight is more of a competition of will than combat power. The direct army has always been by my side. I am very familiar with it. I can take the brothers of the direct army there and command them easily."
."
"Your Excellency!" As the commander-in-chief of the direct army, Gu Yue stepped in to salute and said: "I will go with your Excellency!"
Tang Yin pondered for a moment and said: "No, you have to stay and continue to command the remaining direct armies with General Peng."
His tone was firm and could not be refused. Gu Yue bit his lip and stepped back.
Qiu Zhen asked again: "So...who should be in charge of the overall situation during the period when the Lord is gone?"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "Of course it is you, Mr. Qiu, but you should ask General Xiao, General Liang and General Peng more about uniting the troops in battle. If all three of them think it is a feasible tactic, then
There must be nothing wrong with it.”
Of course Qiu Zhen knew what he was good at and what he was not good at. He raised his hands and saluted, "I understand."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, then straightened his waist and said seriously: "Tomorrow morning, our army will besiege Zhongwen's camp. At the same time, General Yuan Rang and I will lead 50,000 direct troops to Jinhua City. You must keep the news strictly confidential.
It must not be spread outside, and General Le and General Ai will immediately send spies to find out the detailed information about Jinhua City!"
