Chapter 105: Calculating

In the southwest corner of Jiankang City, countless crowds of people are divided into several large circles, and the middle of the circle is wrestling, two naked men are staring at each other with puffed eyes, trying to find a flaw that can be used, in order to defeat the enemy with one move, and the surrounding onlookers make loud noises from time to time.

"These stinky boys!" Jin Ming scolded and pushed away the crowd and walked into the back hall, took a cotton towel from the hands of his own soldiers, wiped the sweat on his face and chest, and draped a collar of short brown on his body casually.

"Lao Jin, I see that you have itchy hands, what kind of official body are you, do people dare to take it seriously." Liu Shiyong said with a smile, a puff of smoke came out of his mouth, and he pointed to the pack of cigarettes that were opened on the small table, and the two of them were good at this.

Jin Ming shook his head, as if he was not very enjoyable, he was indeed anxious for a long time after watching from the sidelines, and was smashed by the onlookers, and he was out of the game. took a cigarette from Liu Shiyong and lit it himself, Liu Yu didn't give him a lighter, he preferred this kind of play that would light up as soon as he wiped it.

There were a total of five people in the back hall, Jiang Cai stood at a large table in the middle and stared at the sand table in a daze, while Liu Yu and Yuan Hong, who was a little pale, were chatting about something. Except for his complexion, he couldn't see anything else, and after raising it for almost a month, Yuan Hong looked like he was about to recover.

"What is Lao Jiang watching, so fascinated, has the Tartar moved?" Jin Ming touched Liu Shiyong with his arm, his chin raised towards the center of the room, Jiang Cai's brows furrowed tightly, and he didn't know what was embarrassing.

"Well, Boyan transferred more than 20,000 people over, and I just received the news." Liu Shiyong nodded and said in a low voice, hearing his words, Jin Ming's face sank, and the two smoked silently, and the movements of the heart and tartar were so fast.

If this news is true, then the enemy outside the West Gate alone has 80,000 Han infantry soldiers, not to mention a complete Mongolian cavalry force of 10,000 people behind the battalion. Liu Yu's plan was very brief, Jin Ming really couldn't think of how to implement it with the 15,000 elites outside who couldn't be called the forbidden army?

With one as ten, with Jin Ming's conceit, it may be possible, but it is not a rabble outside the city, after besieging it for so long, how many times there have been dangers, if it weren't for the unity of all the people in the city, it would have been impossible to hold it for a long time. Now that he has to go out of the city to fight, he doesn't know what Li Tingzhi's Huai soldiers can fight, and the more Jin Ming thinks about it, the more chaotic he becomes, he simply stands up and walks to the sand table.

This sand table was a little different from the last time he saw it, starting from the enemy's camp outside the west gate, it was divided into five parts by horizontal lines, marked with the words "A, B, C, D, E" and so on. He followed Jiang Cai's line of sight, and a red line crossed by the camp and marked directly near the river bank.

After a while, footsteps sounded in the hall again, and Jin Ming looked back, but it was the driver Yihu Sansheng and the military junior Ye Yinghe who entered together, and the young military academy a little later was Jiang Cai's eldest son Jiang Ning. When Liu Yu and Yuan Hong saw them coming in, they all got up to greet each other, greeted each other slightly, and did not give up their seats, so they led them around the sand table.

"Pheasant slave, you lead people to guard the door, no one is allowed to enter, and idle people are driven out fifty paces away." With Liu Yu's order, the pheasant slave turned around with his own soldiers and went out to close the door, and the noise outside the hall suddenly became much quieter.

In front of the sand table, everyone knew that he had something to announce, and they all turned their eyes to him, Liu Yu did not speak immediately, but took out a large stack of paper from the bag on the side, these papers have been pre-bound, and the words "Bagong Mountain" are printed on the top.

"This is the plan I told you and others before, except for you, only Wang Zhaoqiu has a copy there, I gave it such a name, I think everyone knows what it means."

"This battle is far more dangerous than the Jin people, we have neither the 'Beifu soldiers' nor the 80,000 people, and all the people in the city plus the reinforcements of the two Huai Li Marshals are only about 60,000. But we also have our own advantages, the Tartars have besieged for more than a month, the division veterans are tired, and they are harassed day and night, maybe as soon as we get out of the city, they will flee from the wind. ”

Liu Yu's words made everyone can't help but be angry, they all know that the harassment policy implemented during this period of time has lasted for more than a month, so that the defenders in the city have to plug their ears to sleep, the situation of the enemy army can be imagined, for this reason the enemy's camp has retreated a lot. Now it seems that this is all about preparing for today.

"Everyone, please look here, this is the enemy in front of the West Gate, according to the observation of the spies outside the city, this is the enemy besieging the city, extending from here to here, there are about 60,000 people, and today it is reported that more than 20,000 people have been transferred over, and they are currently stationed here." Liu Yu's whip moved forward and pointed to the lower part of the dock.

"Now, Li Dashuai has stood across the river, putting aside the enemy elsewhere, let's see, is the nearly 100,000 enemy troops outside the West Gate in the situation of being attacked by the enemy?" Liu Yu's whip circled eight small people marked infantry and one small person marked cavalry, and everyone nodded as he spoke.

It's just that everyone knows that Jiankang City has been surrounded by regiments, and the enemy's battalions are very close to each other and can be supported at any time. Jiang Cai frowned even more tightly when he heard his words, and suddenly thought of something, and when he turned his head, Jin Ming's gaze also turned, and the two of them understood what the other party thought as soon as their eyes met.

Liu Yu stopped and asked everyone to digest and digest it first, and Hu Sanxing and the others looked at the sand table while reading the booklet, and exchanged a few words of opinion from time to time. Jiang Cai and the others stared at the sand table, Liu Yu followed and took a look, it was outside the south gate closest to the West Gate, and couldn't help but nodded, understanding that these veteran soldiers had already guessed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the momentum has been achieved, as the old saying goes: 'Heaven gives the Buddha, but suffers the blame; When you can't do it, you will suffer from it.'" Our army is backed by a strong city, and there are reinforcements from outside, and this battle will be won. Seeing that everyone had read the plan, Liu Yu's eyes swept over one by one, waiting for them to ask questions.

"Taishou, how to behave has been understood, there is only one request, and I hope to be granted." Everyone looked at each other, Liu Yu waited for a while, but Jiang Cai was the first to speak.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Liu Yu made a gesture of please.

"Let's let someone lead the cavalry, this trip is not easy, Jiang Ning is afraid that it will be difficult to succeed, and a certain person is only worried about missing the Taishou." Jiang Cai glanced at his son as he spoke, and Jiang Ning was about to retort after hearing this, but was glared back by his father's eyes.

Liu Yu was a little embarrassed, he actually wanted Jiang Cai to lead the cavalry, but there were only a few people who could fight, and the task of the foot soldiers was even more arduous.

In fact, there is only one most important task of the cavalry, that is, Boyan's Chinese army tent, no matter whether he can be killed in the end, he only needs to cut down the coquettish Da Hu, which can cause the greatest chaos, so Liu Yu decided to pay the entire cavalry is not a pity, of course, if Jiang Cai and other brave generals lead the team, the certainty of success will increase by a few points.

"According to what the capital said, you take over the cavalry, and when the time comes, act according to the plan, pay attention to the red line, which is where you can march, and there may be traps in other places. Remember clearly, Jiang Ning, you stay to defend the city and take over the defense of the south gate. Liu Yu's whip pointed at the red line on the right side of the enemy's camp, which was the safe passage that Li Shiyi had observed for a long time before he had determined.

"Taishou, why is this, even if you don't lead the army, you can let someone fight!" When Jiang Ning heard Liu Yu's order, he couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted with a red face.

"Little brute, you dare to roar in the middle of the military discussion, don't stop talking, get out of the ten army sticks for Lao Tzu, and then hurry to the south gate, and then say nonsense, see if you don't kill you." Jiang Cai rushed over and picked up his son's armor, pushed and dragged him out, kicked him out of the door with a kick, and then turned around and slammed the door shut.

Liu Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, he really had good intentions, he didn't want to put both father and son in danger, there were human spirits in this hall, I don't know. Before Jiang Cai returned to the sand table, he bowed to Liu Yu and said "make amends", Liu Yu didn't care, and waved his hand so that he didn't have to.

"There is something I want to ask Young Eunuch Ye, is there a newly made step armor in the arsenal of the ordnance superintendent, I don't know how many of them are?" The next person to speak was Jin Ming, but he asked Ye Yingji.

"The command post is right, there is indeed a step armor made by Xianchun in the seventh year in the library, and if you think about it, there should be more than 1,200 people available." Ye Yingji thought about it carefully and reported a number.

"The first team is handed over to a certain belt, and all the foot armor in the library are handed over to a certain person, and each leader is equipped with a hemp knife, and the matter of breaking the camp and blocking the reinforcements is willing to bear it." Jin Ming turned to Liu Yu and clenched his fists for his life.

Liu Yu inquired about Ye Yingji, saw him nodded, and handed over 5,000 foot soldiers to Jin Ming as the first team, and the second team of 5,000 people was also led by Liu Shiyong, as for defending the city, Yuan Hong still took over his original north gate, Hu San Province will go to the east gate, and even Ye Yingji will take over the Longguang Gate in the west.

"You all understand your responsibilities, now start the right time, subject to so-and-so, it is currently a quarter and three minutes, and they are all adjusted. The attack was divided into three quarters, and the armies returned to the camp to rest after receiving their ordnance, and they all remembered clearly. ”

Hearing Liu Yu's last words, everyone was puzzled, Jin Ming, Jiang Cai and others were even more surprised, three o'clock, it should be the time to get up and bury the meal, the attack will not be until about five watches, and the sky will not be bright at that time.

"Ziqing, the dark night is not good for the enemy, but it can also be bad for me, it's too risky to attack at this time, think twice." Seeing that everyone was silent, Jin Ming had to come forward, and everyone here thought that he had the best relationship with Liu Yu.

Night? Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, everyone didn't think about the same thing, he suddenly remembered, said to the hall, "Wait a minute", then turned to the back room, and took out a hat-shaped thing, the shape is quite similar to the forbidden army standard iron helmet, but there is a round mirror-like thing on it.
