"Newspaper—"

Zhuo Luolan's handsome tent, a scout soldier ran in and said breathlessly: "Bao Lan Shuai, a few days ago, I monitored the traces of the Song army's army in the southeastern region and on the front line of Ningchuan Fort, and the marching speed was very fast, and I don't know where to go. ”

Zhuo Luolan couldn't help but change color, got up suddenly, began to look at the map of the military area, and muttered: "If there is a trace of the Song army on the front line of Ningchuan, it must be someone from Hezhou in the Song Realm. But there is no formed army in Hezhou at all, so this mysterious army must be Wang Yan's department. ”

"Impossible." A general said: "It's only September 7 now, it is impossible for Wang Yan's Funing army to enter the battlefield so quickly, even if he rushes to Hezhou at any cost, he is already a tired army, and it is impossible to risk crossing the Yellow River without repairing, what does he want to do?" ”

Zhuo Luolan looked at the map and muttered: "From military theory, it is true that it is impossible for the Funing army to cross the Yellow River and appear on the Ningchuan line on September 7, but Wang Yan's affairs cannot be measured by common sense, just like the flintlock pistol he made cannot be measured with conventional weapons." ”

Another general said: "Then if it is really him, he is also known as brave and good at fighting, and it is likely to threaten the big tent in my Anlong region?" ”

It is indeed possible, so all the generals nodded one after another, after all, it was Wang Yan, who was known as the undefeated West, so they were all a little nervous, even if they knew that he would not have many troops, but they were still nervous.

However, Zhuo Luolan didn't think about it right, although this looked like Di Qing's strange tactics in Kunlun Pass and Dumen Mountain, and wanted to raid the grain and grass of the main force of the Southern Army Division. But in fact, in essence, Wang Yan's tactical thinking is different from Di Qing's, and he must adopt different ways to deal with it.

"He doesn't trim ...... If you don't enter the Jishi Army to reorganize, you will dare to cross the Yellow River with a few Funing Army......" Zhuo Luolan frowned and paced: "Boy...... What exactly do you want to do? ”

"If it's really Wang Yan's department, his marching speed is unconventional, please Lan Shuai make the fastest decision to make a deployment, so as not to let our army fall into passivity?" Many generals hurried.

Zhuo Luolan felt a lot of pressure, and accidentally glanced at the map again, and suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, I know what he wants to do." He's afraid of me. ”

"Uh...... It is true that everyone is afraid of Lan Shuai. But this kid has always been ruthless and lawless, and he won't be afraid of Lan Shuai if he doesn't lose the battle, right? The generals were embarrassed.

Zhuo Luolan said without blushing, "You don't know anything about power. He must have been keeping an eye on me all the time, so he was really afraid of me. He didn't calculate me, he wouldn't do meaningless things without superior forces, and he wouldn't entangle me in the Southern District. Therefore, his real purpose was to cross the Huangshui and enter the northern district as quickly as possible to harass the manba, so as to relieve the pressure on the guerrillas in the northern district. ”

A general said with a strange expression: "Let him go and bite the general, it will be good for us." ”

Zhuo Luolan did have a heart problem with Manba, but shook his head and said, "You can't sit idly by." After all, he is part of my Western Xia army, and he is so happy to show his teeth and claws, once he is calculated by Wang Yan and loses the northern region, it is equivalent to blocking the way home for us, then we will endure the cold winter in an ambush on all sides. ”

Speaking of which, not listening to everyone's opinions, Zhuo Luolan pointed to a certain place on the map and said, "Wang Yan's real purpose is to force the Huangshui River and enter the Northern Region to participate in the war as soon as possible. If he can't be allowed to succeed, he must be tied up in the southern district and gradually annihilated. ”

All the generals get up!

Zhuo Luolan continued: "I am not a god, I don't know where he crossed the river from, and in order to be safe, he sent troops in four ways, each with three thousand men. After discovering the volunteers, they could not fight strongly, and waited for support under the beacon fire, harassing and containing. Remember, the tactical purpose of any unit cannot be annihilation, but only to prevent him from crossing the waters. Rigorous and joyful behavior! ”

"Yes!" The generals quickly got out of their tents......

After crossing the Yellow River, Wang Yan's troops rested in a hidden mountain on September 8.

On the night of 9 September, the secret march went to the civilian and front-line areas to hide, and continued to test and investigate.

Now the Funing Army has not officially approached Huangshui, but after careful investigation, all the bridges in Huangshui have been demolished.

It is even more the purpose of the Funing Army earlier: it must cross the Huangshui as soon as possible.

However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and now Wang Yan hesitated at this night.

Looking up at the night sky and thinking for a long time, Wang Yan muttered to Mu Guiying: "I have a bad feeling, this wide and rapid water, we can't easily cross it." ”

"The rapid march to force the crossing of the Huangshui is a tactic set by you, Lord Chengzhi?" Mu Guiying said: "If the bridge is demolished, it must be crossed, otherwise the damage in the northern theater will be too great." Didn't you say that you built bridges when encountering water? ”

Wang Yan said: "I said it, but this is only the initial idea, a slogan of firm will. Specifically, we must be realistic, sober at all times, and always correct inappropriate views. Theoretically speaking, the Western Xia legions were deployed separately in the north and south of Huangshui, and they needed efficient communication and the exchange of military resources, so there must be bridges. ”

After a pause, he said, "But now we have found that the two bridges in this area are traces of new demolition. In other words, the Zhuo Luolan Department has already estimated our army's plan to cross the water. Assuming this is true, the bridging materials left on the shore are traps set against us. When we concentrate our efforts on building bridges and crossing the water, it is when the middle plan is surrounded. ”

Mu Guiying couldn't help but take a deep breath, if Zhuo Luolan really guessed the plan to cross the water, it was indeed possible for this to happen.

"What then? Do you want to find a ferry along the river again? Mu Guiying asked.

Wang Yan shook his head slightly: "There shouldn't be a ferry." Now that we should have been caught by Zoloran, she guessed my tactics. She won't give us a chance to cross the water. Therefore, I plan to take advantage of the initial stage when this Zhuo Luolan plan has just begun to be deployed and is not yet perfect, and start our first battle into the Hehuang region, and then decide on the future water crossing plan according to the changes in the situation. ”

All stand upright!

The next investigation is the investigation, the vigilance of the vigilance.

In this silent night, Wang Yan temporarily adjusted his tactics, gave up the forcible crossing plan, and cooperated with Mu Guiying to study the specific plan for the first battle.

Wang Yan and Mu Guiying agreed that even if Zhuo Luolan guessed the Funing army's forcible crossing plan, she would not know where the Funing army crossed the river from, so if she could only cast a wide net, she was not a god, and she would not concentrate only one superior force on one point.

Therefore, Wang Yan guessed that Zhuo Luolan would divide three to five warheads and deploy them near Huangshui, and once a local battle started, the other corps would respond to reinforcements.

Zhuo Luolan's department also has 30,000 troops, she is not a humil, and she does not dare to risk attacking them all. According to the true royal tactics, the attack force must be less than the "reserve force" principle, Wang Yan judged that Zhuo Luolan could use the effective force to prevent the Funing army from crossing the Huangshui, and the maximum number would be around 12,000.

Then, even though it is a cavalry, she must form a network in the area where it is possible for Wang Yan's department to cross the river, and she must have at least four strongholds in order to fully radiate.

At this point, Wang Yan judged: The formation of the Western Xia cavalry faced this time was about 3,000 people each.

The Funing Army is theoretically not a superior force for such an organization, but in the case of calculating the plan, it can already fight, this is trial and error, and if you have a hunch that the battle situation is unfavorable, you can still make adjustments.

The general direction was determined: to fight.

Then Mu Guiying was in charge of the specific tactics, she summoned the officers of various departments, and with the help of moonlight in the dark environment, pointed to a certain area of the map and said: "We went out of Hezhou and crossed the Yellow River, and the route determined that the area we could choose to cross the river was limited. In addition, assuming that the four corps of the Zhuo Luolan Division were deployed along the river separately in the effective river crossing area, and judging from the general's experience in the power of the Western Xia cavalry, the time limit for the reinforcement of the other corps of the Zhuo Luolan Division would be at most one and a half hours from the start of the tactic of 'Ming Cutting and Building Bridges and Darkness Chencang'. Therefore, there will not be too much time left for our army, and it is impossible to completely annihilate it, and we must try to disable one of the corps within an hour under the condition of effectively controlling our own casualties and preserving morale, so as to create fighters for the next maneuver of our volunteer army.

"Obey orders, act in unison, within an hour from the start of the battle, all participating squads, regardless of the results of the battle, must not hesitate, must retreat, and move at high speed to the west in a unified manner, if there is a unit that is scattered, do not panic, also move to the west, save yourself, and find an opportunity to rejoin the division."

All the officers stood upright.

"Listen, the details of Ben's deployment tactics are as follows." Mu Guiying quickly put away the military map, began to give detailed oral orders, and entered the stage of implementing the plan......
