Chapter 241
Zong Yuan said slowly: "In a battle between two armies, killing the enemy is the priority, and attacking the enemy's mind is the priority! If you want to annihilate the 400,000 Ning army at the minimum cost, you must first destabilize the army's morale."
Xiao Muqing waved his hands impatiently. Anyone who had read military books and tactics would say this, so why should he explain it? But before he could speak, Zong Yuan continued: "It's easy to shake Ning Jun's morale.
, just cut off its escape route."
As he said that, he looked at Xiao Muqing and saw that the latter was interested. He said: "If the Tianyuan Army sends out a surprise force while fighting the Ning Army head-on, they will not take the official road, but only take the mountain road and quietly bypass Yancheng.
A sneak attack on Tongmen, taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared, will definitely succeed in one blow. Once Tongmen is defeated, the 400,000 Ning army will be isolated in the wind, unable to advance or retreat. If they don't attack, they will be in chaos!
"
"Ah..." After listening to Zong Yuan's words, Xiao Muqing took a breath and launched a sneak attack on Tongmen. This strategy was fresh and bold enough, but it was also an unexpected trick. At this time, he had to confront Zong Yuan.
When I looked at him with admiration, I felt that this person was not just a talker.
Xiao Muqing admired Zong Yuan's plan very much, so when he left Huaiyang, he took Zong Yuan with him. If this person is really a talent, he can be reused by Tang Yin.
He can be regarded as having made a great contribution.
After successfully capturing Huaiyang, the Pingyuan Army turned back the same way to join the main force of the Tianyuan Army led by Tang Yin.
At this time, the Ning army had already marched into Jinhua City and started a confrontation with the Tianyuan army of more than 300,000 people.
In terms of overall military strength, both sides have about the same amount of troops and similar combat capabilities. There is no obvious gap. Such an evenly matched battle is undoubtedly the most difficult for both sides.
Now the Ning Army is about to start a tit-for-tat battle against Mai Mang on the plains. The atmosphere in the Tianyuan Army camp is also very tense. The soldiers are coming and going in a hurry, and the detectives from the Sky Eye and the Ground Network are like a revolving lantern.
The situation is reported back to your own camp.
Tang Yin was not idle either. He discussed strategies against the enemy with his generals all day long.
Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and other counselors all believed that the war should not start now. After all, their most powerful Pingyuan Army was on its way back, and they should wait for the Pingyuan Army to return before confronting the Ning Army. However, they wanted to wait, but the Ning Army did not want to fight.
I am willing to wait. Since entering the territory of Jinhua City, Ning's army has been arrogant and provoked repeatedly, asking Tianyuan's army to come out of camp to fight.
Shangguan Yuanrang had fought against the Ning army and knew that the Ning army was weak. When provoked by the Ning army, he could not sit still for the first time and asked Tang Yin to give him a force and go out to fight the Ning army. Tang Yin was worried.
, when our own side was defending Jinhua City, there were city walls to rely on, and it was not a problem to fight with a small number against a large number. But now we are fighting on flat ground with no danger to rely on. It is not that simple to fight against a large number of Ning troops with a small number of troops.
.
In the end, Tang Yin did not agree to Shangguan Yuanrang's request to fight, and ordered the entire army to strictly guard the camp and not go out to fight.
As a result, Ning's army thought that Tianyuan's army was timid in fighting, became more arrogant, and became more diligent in attacking the enemy.
But Tang Yin was determined to wait for the Pingyuan Army to return without fighting. The Ning Army finally couldn't help it and launched a tentative attack, taking the initiative to attack the Tianyuan Army's camp.
The Tianyuan Army's camp was very strong and guarded by more than 300,000 troops. How could it be so easy to break through? The Ning Army just sent out the front army to test it out. Seeing that the Tianyuan Army's counterattack was very strong, they hastily withdrew, and then
Continue to call for formation every day, hoping to draw the Tianyuan Army out of the camp and fight again.
Three days later, the Pingyuan Army led by Xiao Muqing returned to the Tianyuan Army camp. With the return of the Pingyuan Army, the Tianyuan Army really began to designate detailed strategies for fighting the enemy.
Inside the Chinese military tent.
The generals of the Tianyuan Army and the generals of Besa's reinforcements gathered together. The large Chinese military tent now seemed a bit small. Tang Yin ordered a sand table to be placed in the center of the tent and also ordered small black and white small tents to be prepared.
The flag is placed in the sand table to simulate a battle between the two sides.
Tang Yin looked around at the generals present and asked, "Who has a good strategy for fighting Ning's army? Please tell me quickly!"
Looking at the people on the left and right, Qiu Zhen took a step forward, walked to the sand table, and said: "I think the Pingyuan Army is the most powerful army in our army. It should be the main force in the battle and be used for head-on confrontation with the enemy.
The Navy Army and the Chifeng Army are the left and right wings, and your Excellency will command the Directly Affiliated Army to act as the rear force! After the battle, the Pingyuan Army will advance from the center, and the Sanshui Army and the Chifeng Army on both wings will attack both sides of the Ning Army. If there is difficulty in advancing on either side
, Your Excellency can direct the direct army to support which side."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded repeatedly, feeling that Qiu Zhen's strategy was feasible.
At this time, Xiao Muqing added: "There is no problem for the Pingyuan Army to be the main force of the Chinese army. However, it is best to insert the Bessa Cavalry into our army's formation. When fighting with the Ning Army, our army can use the Bessa Cavalry as the main force.
The vanguard army will disrupt the enemy's square formation, so that the next battle will be much easier."
"That makes sense!" Tang Yin looked up at Xiaona and Blanca and asked them what they meant. Besa's translators immediately translated Xiao Muqing's words into Morpheus and told them to them. After listening, Blanca had no objection.
He nodded and said, "That's no problem."
The most powerful thing of the Ning army is the arrow formation, while the most powerful thing of the heavy armored cavalry is defense. Besa cavalry takes the lead, which can be said to be a direct victory over the enemy.
Tang Yin looked up and smiled. In his opinion, with this strategy, his chances of winning were 60% to 70%.
At this time, another person stood next to the sand table, picked up a black flag, placed it in the center of the white flag, and said: "If our army can use another light cavalry to quickly attack the Ning army's center when the two armies are fighting,
, inserting into the center of the Ning army will cause chaos in the enemy's central army. As a result, the Ning army will not be able to look at each other, and our army's battle will be smoother."
"Oh?" After hearing this, everyone present was shocked and turned to look at the speaker.
This man was less than thirty, with a short build, an unattractive appearance, and a little overweight, but his two small eyes were shining brightly, giving people a sense of wisdom. Everyone was stunned, not knowing who this person was, and they
I don’t know how he got into the Chinese army’s tent. Tang Yin had never seen him before, so he asked: “This is...”
Xiao Muqing hurriedly replied: "Sir, this is Lord Zong Yuanzong. The reason why our army was able to capture Huaiyang without a bloody blow this time was thanks to Lord Zong's advice to Lord Yu, the county chief, and Lord Zong intends to join you, so
I brought him here, but I forgot to introduce him to you just now, I hope you can forgive me!"
"Oh!" Tang Yin nodded. It could be seen that this Zongyuan was also a counselor. Although he already had a lot of counselors and staff under his command, the more talents, the better. Since they came to seek refuge, he did not push them out.
That makes sense. He smiled at Zong Yuan and nodded, saying: "It turns out to be Mr. Zong Yuan, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
"Ah! You're so polite, sir!" Seeing that Tang Yin was very polite to him, Zongyuan hurriedly returned the courtesy.
"Just now, Mr. Zongyuan said that he would use a light cavalry force to attack the central army of Ning Army?"
"Yes, sir. Under your command is General Yuan Rang, who is the most brave among all three armies. If this light cavalry can be led by General Yuan Rang, it will be able to stir up chaos in the Ningren Central Army. The Central Army is the foundation. If the Central Army is in chaos,
The whole army is in chaos, and if our army follows the tactics of the two previous adults, we will definitely defeat the Ning army!"
Although Zong Yuan is Yu Tao's subordinate, he is also very familiar with the situation of the Tianyuan Army. At least he knows that one of them, Shangguan Yuan Rang, is unusual.
After listening to his words, Shangguan Yuanrang couldn't help but burst into laughter. With a proud face, he cupped his hands towards Tang Yin and said, "Sir, leave the task of raiding the enemy's central army to me! If there is a chance,
I will just take off Zhan Wushuang’s head.”
Tang Yin did have a light cavalry under his command, and it was an extremely fast light cavalry. Its horses were all excellent war horses from the Mo Kingdom. In the past, he often used this cavalry to sneak attack the towns of Bessa, causing the latter a headache. Now,
Besa has become an ally, and this light cavalry has not been used since.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Qiu Zhen: "How many of Mo's war horses do we still have in our army?"
Qiu Zhenzhen replied: "There are more than 10,000 horses!"
Tang Yin rolled his eyes, looked at the sand table again, and said: "Yuan Rang, when the battle begins, you will lead five thousand light cavalry from south to north to attack the Ning Army's central army. I will lead another five thousand light cavalry from north to north.
To attack the center of the Ning Army from the south, you and I can attack from both sides. We can not only respond to each other, but also completely cut off the Ning Army's camp. What do you think?"
As long as there is a battle to fight and it is an important battle, Shangguan Yuanrang will not have any objections. After hearing this, he raised his hands and said, "Just do what you want!"
He didn't have an opinion, but everyone else did.
Qiu Zhen grinned and said, "Your Excellency, you have to fight in person again..."
Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know you are worried, this time I will fight as a clone."
Hearing what he said, everyone felt relieved. Cheng Jin hurriedly approached and said, "In this case, we will use our clones to follow you!"
Tang Yin had no objection, nodded, and said: "Okay! General Cheng, please arrange for some brothers from the Dark Arrow to fight with me!"
"Yes! Sir!"
After finalizing the battle plan, Tang Yin and his generals all let out a sigh of relief. They were nervous and excited about tomorrow's battle, worried and looking forward to it. Everyone knew whether their side would have an advantage or a disadvantage against Ning's army in the future.
, the key depends on the outcome of tomorrow’s battle.
After the meeting, the generals returned to the camp to rest and recuperate their mental and physical strength for tomorrow's battle. Tang Yin himself walked out of the camp, accompanied by several guards, and took a slow walk in the camp.
He was thinking about his thoughts as he walked. He didn't know how long it had passed. When he came to his senses, he looked forward. In front of him was a large tent in the shape of an earthbag, which looked out of place compared with other military tents. He asked the guard beside him:
: "Whose camp is this?"
One of the guards hurriedly replied: "Sir, this...should be Princess Besa's tent."
