It was drizzling in the barracks, and in the early spring, the armoured soldiers had to hide in their tents, otherwise they could easily catch a cold. During the war, it was easy for the epidemic to break out, so although Tang Yuan had already obtained the arrangement of the enemy army, he still did not act immediately.

The large army did not move, he only sent scouts to inform Han Dang to prepare to approach, and at the same time informed Zhang Yunlong that he had decided to launch an attack on Yangzhou City and Yunting Mountain.

He told the generals that this battle should be fought as a decisive battle, and once the war begins, it will never end quickly, just like when fighting the men, step by step, devouring the enemy's defensive line little by little, and at the same time guarding against the enemy's counterattack.

The arrangement of the enemy army is simply a defensive arrangement, there are fortifications everywhere, it is a hard bone, but everyone should not be afraid to fight siege warfare, although their arrangement is very tight, very delicate, very thrilling, but I have already thought of a way.

The pine oil that I usually let everyone prepare, this time finally came in handy, I plan to burn Yangzhou, let this fire burn it for three days and three nights, no matter how strong the fortifications, I will also let it turn to ashes.

When the enemy's fortifications are broken, we are fighting them hard. The enemy army is scattered, and we are scattered, they are scattered in regiments, and so are we, and the enemy army has set up twenty strongholds, divided into various hills, and we will break them down individually.

When this battle starts, it must be very chaotic, and it is very likely that they will not be able to take care of each other, so everyone should think of their own way out, and once they can't fight, they will flee immediately, but do not run to the base camp, but to the nearby friendly forces.

In order to prevent chaos, I designed several sets of plans, I set up battle flags on the sand table, and everyone was optimistic about their position.

"Chen Bao and Tang Hu each lead a thousand cavalry, and the rest of the troops are 300 cavalry with 700 infantry, and when Han Dang's troops come, I will split his troops. Liu Zhan attacked the No. 1 area, Fu Ying attacked the No. 2 area, the two of you are recently, if one side wins, immediately go to support the other side, if you lose, also go to the other side, instead of running around. Zhang Jing and Yue Pu partnered with the three and the number of districts; Chen Kai and Liu Tan partnered in the Wulu area; Ma Ben and Li Xian partnered in the Qiqi area. When Han Dang comes, I will go and arrange his army, and then we will set off together. Tang Yuan pointed to the sand table and said.

Nalan said: "Now, our troops are actually 12,000 people, claiming 10,000 to the outside world, Chen Bao and Tang Tiger Archers will do everything possible to deal with you, they are fast, but if the cavalry does not come to support you, don't be afraid, General Tang and I still have 1,000 people each, when we see that you are in danger, we will definitely rush over as soon as possible." In addition, we have to believe in friendly forces, General Han Dang has been tested in many major battles, and we have always cooperated very well with each other. ”

When he said this, in fact, Nalan had no bottom in his confidence, but he still had to say this to ensure morale.

Tang Yuan, Han Dang, and Fan Chou have cooperated, but they have also competed, for example, in the matter of letting Tang Hu break the bridge and block the road, he once deeply hurt Han Dang's feelings. However, it has been a long time since the matter, it is worth three years, and now that it has been almost six years, General Han Dang should not care about it anymore.

However, this is not possible, in case Han Dang is angry, it will not be good, so Tang Yuan will go to see Han Dang this time, and he will give him some small gifts to compensate for the success of capturing the city that year.

After arranging his troops, Tang Yuan took the prison army Ma Butong to Han Dang's station, and because the war was about to start, Han Dang didn't even set up a camp.

"General Han Dang, give you some small gifts, please smile."

Han Dang's eyes were vigilant, and he took the gift sheet and looked at it, his eyes lit up, "This is for me?" ”

Tang Yuan smiled.

"Why are you so kind all of a sudden?" Han Dang was puzzled.

"Let's make up for the misunderstanding of the competition for the city back then."

"Misunderstanding?" Han Dang accepted the gift list confidently: "The bridge has been demolished, what misunderstanding can there be?" Okay, I accepted the gift, I think if I don't accept it, you will be very worried. Looks like you're going to command my troops, tell me, how do you plan to fight this battle? ”

"Take it apart and fight."

"Take it apart?" Han Dang thought for a moment: "It seems that you have already touched the enemy army very thoroughly. ”

"Yes, I've been here for seven days, and I haven't walked a single step in seven days, so I can't be really idle. The enemy army has sixteen garrisons, which is very difficult. Tang Yuan sat down: "Let's talk about it, what kind of old background do you have in your troops, show it, don't keep it at the critical moment." ”

"It's not old-fashioned." Han Dang said bluntly: "The only thing worth saying is that my troops are actually not 10,000 people, but 13,000 people." It's not easy for me to feed so much with 10,000 people's food. ”

"Three thousand people are hungry on a regular basis?" Tang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Cao Dingbang takes good care of you." ”

Han Dang waved his hand, not wanting to talk about this issue anymore.

Tang Yuan said: "I am in charge of eight of the strongholds, and you are in charge of the other eight. Do you need me to help you with your tactics? ”

"There's no need." Han Dang looked at the map brought by Tang Yuan, and said to the secretary Lang beside him: "Set up the sand table, I want to deduce it with General Tang on the sand table." ”

Han Dang held thirteen small flags in his hand, and ten small flags in Tang Yuan's hand.

Talk about the casualty ratio in advance, talk about all the rules, and start the deduction, but Han Dang lost in a mess.

General Han was sweating, he definitely couldn't fight like this himself, but Tang Yuan arranged this tactic, so what tricks did he have?

"Since you came to me, and you didn't know that I had thirteen thousand men, how could you still set up this tactic? Haven't you deduced? Han Dang asked with an ugly face.

Tang Yuan put down the small flag in his hand, "The style of play is not the same. First of all, I won't attack directly, then there is no chance of winning. Moreover, this place is not suitable for large-scale operations, our army is too dense, and it has become a living target for the enemy, and the casualties are too large, which is not good for the whole. I advise you to go and cut down the trees, and then burn them before attacking them. ”

"The enemy is not a stake, can I burn it if I want?" Han Dang said: "I sent the wood to the front of their fortifications, and then they carried it away, what did I do?" Bringing them firewood? ”

Tang Yuan suddenly laughed: "If you send him over, it's just burning wood?" ”。

"Then how do I carry it?"

"Shoot with a bow and arrow." Tang Yuan said: "I brought a lot of pine oil, specially prepared for you, the bow and arrow are not enough, I have asked Zhang Yunlong to support us." It is estimated that it will be there in the afternoon, so you should hurry up and cut down the wood, set their fortifications on fire with pine oil, and then send the wood up and add fire to them. Burn him for three days and three nights, I want to see if these two Taibao are resistant to burning. ”
