Tang Qi moved the tent to the river.

The flag on the south bank is fluttering, and the hunting is sound.

Tang Yuan, the captain of the elite cavalry, received the information sent back by a spy and immediately turned around and walked towards the military tent.

"Hey, Tang Yuan, you wait for me." At this time, a thin scholar followed Tang Yuan's side quickly.

Nalan Xin looked a little anxious, and Tang Yuan said in a reassuring tone: "I'm busy, I'll talk about it later." ”

"Don't! Don't wait to say it, you have to say it now, it's too late. ”

"Say it quickly."

"What are your plans for this battle?"

"What can I do?"

"That's not going to work. Although now, as a cavalry captain, you can always show your face in front of the general, which is definitely a good thing for ordinary people. But in the long run, I think that's going to limit your growth. With my observation of you, you are a dragon, and you will rebel sooner or later. ”

"How do you speak?" Tang Yuan hurriedly looked around, and grabbed Nalan Xin's neck: "Are you kid saying that I have a backbone?" ”

"Don't, don't, don't worry. I mean, you have a handsome talent, and sooner or later you will surpass Tang Qi. But you always be a cavalry captain by his side, and if you don't hear it, you're just a guard. Nalan Xin finally broke free of Tang Yuan's hand, straightened his neckline, and said, "You might as well go and ask General Tang for a troop, let's cross the river from Lijin and insert it into the hinterland of the enemy." You must know how much the Han people in Hebei hate the male Jia people now, as long as you arrive and raise your arms, your troops can be multiplied. Think about it, do you want to be a celebrity in front of the general, or do you want to be a fierce general in his own right? ”

Tang Yuan thought for a while, didn't answer, but strode towards the military tent, Nalan Xin had short legs and trotted behind.

Tang Yuan entered the house, finished the salute, and said quickly: "According to the report of the spies, the enemy's Wuyan Zha Fierce Deputy General Natanhun garrisoned Bohai City, coerced the local people to climb the city, and asked them to shave their heads and wear Hu clothes, and now his soldiers have expanded from 500 to 3,000. ”

"What? So much? ”

Before Tang Qi could speak, the prison soldier Ma Butong stood up with a look of surprise on his face.

Tang Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Tang Qi, the latter's expression was solemn, and he couldn't see the change in his heart, he continued: "The spies said that their methods are ruthless, but anyone who does not go to the city, does not cut his hair, and does not wear Hu clothes will be slashed and killed in front of his family. Then there was no one who disobeyed. ”

Hearing this, Tang Qi's hands clenched unconsciously.

That's what worries her the most.

It is now the first day of May, and in less than three hours, the crossing of the river will begin. Tang Qi received this bad news. There was a hint of worry in her always calm eyes.

Tang Qi really didn't plan to force the crossing from Ambergris, because it would be too damaging to do so. So she divided 5,000 troops to the brothers Dian Han and Dian Xiao, and asked them to cross the river from Potai, and after successfully crossing the river, they directly attacked Bohai City. When they start fighting, she will cross the river again, and the pressure will be much less.

At present, the enemy in the Bohai Sea did not set up defenses along the river, and they were right, because there were mostly swamps there, and the enemy's cavalry could not use them at all. At the same time, this is also the reason why Tang Qi asked to cross the river from Po Tai. It is also the reason why Huo Zizhen, the marshal of Peking University, chose to cross the river at this time. The winter snow melted away, and the rainy season in April left the banks of the river muddy. The least suitable for cavalry combat of enemy troops.

In order to fight for the best conditions for Dian Han to cross the river, Tang Qi deliberately erected many banners on her side as a way to confuse the other party, but unfortunately, she was recognized by the other party.

At this time, Ma Butong walked over, stroked his beard with a smile, and then said: "Then implement the second plan, give up Ambergris, rush to Lijin, and cross the river from there." ”

Tang Qi stared at the sand table with a hint of urgency in his eyes. Looking at the distance, if you rush over with a baggage, it will definitely be too late. And if her side moves, the enemy will also move, and everyone will still meet in Lizin. The river is wider on that side than on this side, which is more disadvantageous to the side that crosses the river.

At this time, Nalan Xin suddenly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "General Tang, in my opinion, there is no need to be like this. ”

"Say!" Tang Qi saw that Nalan Xin had something to say, and a word immediately burst out of his mouth.

"Still carry out the original plan, force the dragon to cross the ambergris, and attract the main force of the enemy army to stay here!" Nalan Xin said firmly: "Buy time for the generals and let them break the city." When the time comes, the enemy forces will be in disarray, and we will formulate a new battle plan according to the situation. And to Lijin, the distance is too far, now to set off, all the way is a night march, there is no guarantee to cross the river at all, and the Lijin boats are now in Ambergris, when the boat rows to Lijin, even if the soldiers still have strength, the boatman has no strength. ”

Tang Qi's forehead was on fire, his expression was depressed, and he didn't speak.

Ma Butong said angrily: "Who are you, how dare you speak here?" ”

Tang Qi waved his hand and said, "He is my newly appointed secretary of the army." ”

Tang Qi was appointed on the spot, but she said it lightly.

Nalan Xin lowered his head, and there was no expression on his face at all.

Tang Yuan thought that this kid must be happy in his heart at this time, but he was an excellent actor, and his ability to adapt to temporary situations was very strong, so that people couldn't see the flaws.

Ma Butong squinted his eyes and said, "Dian Han is leading all recruits, and there is no heavy armor to protect him, how can he attack the city?" When crossing the river, very few siege machines can be transported, and 5,000 people attack a city defended by 3,000 people, and there is no chance of victory at all! He snorted lightly and said, "In my opinion, it is better to let Dian Han cross the river and go straight to the crossing of the river, echoing our crossing of the river." ”

Tang Qi glared at Ma Butong and said, "They bypassed the Bohai Sea, which is the plain, does the Ma Jian Army want them to let five thousand plain infantry fight the heavy cavalry on the plain?" ”

Ma Butong sneered and said: "This can't be done, that's not possible, what's the matter, General Tang is still planning not to cross the river tonight?" ”

Ma Butong immediately shifted the topic to the side that was beneficial to him, as the supervisor of the army, he had to keep an eye on the head of the army to carry out the orders of his superiors. If the execution is not effective, he has the right to forcibly take control of the army.

Tang Qi pressed his hands on the edge of the sand table, his brows furrowed.

Tonight, the river must be crossed, but how to cross the river to have a chance of winning is the problem she is considering now.

Suddenly, Tang Qi stretched out his hand to the far right and said, "Draw a troop and march quickly to smuggle into Lijin." Then march into Zhanhua. I'm going to gamble that it's an empty city! ”

"That's too far away, and we don't have horses." Ma Butong said: "After crossing the river, it would be good to be able to arrive at noon tomorrow." Even if it comes, people are already exhausted, how can they fight? ”

Before Tang Qi could refute, a loud voice suddenly sounded: "General Tang, the last general is willing to lead the troops." ”

Tang Qi immediately turned around and said, "Only give you three hundred people, do you dare to go?" ”

"Dare!"

Tang Qi was very satisfied with Tang Yuan's performance, and said, "I'll send another veteran to follow you, and you can discuss something about it." ”

"General Tang, the lower officer also wants to go with Captain Tang." Nalan Xin said with a needle.

Tang Qi smiled and said, "Even if you don't want to go, I will let you go." Once you're there, make as much noise as you can and expand your troops. And quickly echo the Dianhan, attack from both sides as much as possible, and take Bohai City. ”

Tang Yuan received the order and ran out with the order arrow in hand, Nalan Xin followed closely behind, running with all his might, looking a little embarrassed, and shouted while running: "Captain Tang, can you prepare a horse for me?" ”

"The horses are gone, but there is still an old donkey and mule in the baggage camp, do you want it?" If you want, I'll borrow it for you. ”

"Oh, as long as you don't let me run all over the ground, I can't keep up with my physical strength."
