Chapter Seventy-Four: The Night Raid Plan
Kim barracks tent.
Borzi lay in bed, his face weak, his injuries getting worse by the day during the month of stalemate.
Now that he couldn't get out of bed, he realized that the doctor's words were not jokes.
At the same time, the dictates from Jingshi were becoming more and more urgent, all of them asking him to take Jiangning City immediately.
"Lord Banner, we have suffered more than 20,000 casualties in the past month, and if we continue to consume, I don't know how many more people will die." Li Yuanxiao spoke out to advise.
Now the edicts are becoming more urgent than the other, and the entire army going south is also panicked, and the protracted battle is unfavorable, and the morale of the soldiers is extremely low.
In addition, the rebel army led by Zhang Yan and Ren Anyi in Jiangbei continued to grow, and frequently attacked and disturbed the grain route, and it would be extremely unfavorable for them to drag it on.
Borzi's faith was also shaken during the month, and a small dock fort was like an impassable barrier in front of him, which made him depressed and worried.
Kuimut has always spoken for Borzi, but in this matter he agreed with Li Yuanxiao's words.
"Lord of the Banner, besiege the dock fort but not attack, it is not too late to take Jiangning City and then deal with them slowly, as long as the Hua Dynasty is destroyed, why worry about not taking this dock fort."
Borzi coughed violently, tugging at his wound and giving him a pained look on his face.
He couldn't hold on any longer, he didn't want to throw his life on a dock fort that would bring him Borzi into disrepute.
"Stop attacking Wubao and besiege Jiangning City with all your might." Borzi gasped.
Li Yuanxiao and Kuimut were overjoyed, and they responded in unison, leaving the camp, and they immediately dispatched troops to prepare to attack Jiangning City.
The movement of the Jin Bing camp was soon discovered by the sentry on Zhongshan Mountain, and the flag speaker immediately transmitted the news back to the dock fort.
After receiving the news, Lin Mu and a group of generals immediately went to the city to observe and confirm the movements of the Jin soldiers.
"My lord is really like a god, and the golden man really can't hold it back." Lin Rui looked excited, "It's just that His Royal Highness King Duan and Liufu Yin don't know how long they can hold it?" ”
Lu Zhen answered, "We have won them a month to prepare, this time is enough for them to prepare more fully, if Liufu Yin and His Royal Highness Duanwang fight to the death, with the high walls of Jiangning City, it will be no problem to defend it for two or three months." ”
There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Lin Mu's mouth, his judgment was still accurate, and then the Jin people were afraid that they would have to fight to the death with Jiang Ningcheng.
"There is no need to worry about the safety of Jiangning City for the time being, if they can't support it, we can go out of the city to support." Lin Mu said, "What we have to do now is to find an opportunity to take Yanziji." ”
Lin Rui said: "My lord, we can send soldiers up the mountain and follow the Zhongshan trail to bypass the Jinbing camp and sneak attack Yanziji!" ”
"No, Yanziji is heavily guarded, and the Jin barracks tent is very close to Yanziji, so it can be supported at any time, and I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties if I attack rashly." Lu Zhen analyzed.
Lin Mu nodded, Lu Zhen was born in the general's gate, and he was more proficient than Lin Rui in terms of battles, but Lin Rui was more loyal to Lin Mu's ideological education, and the two of them could be said to be equivalent to one division commander and the other to be the division political commissar.
Therefore, in terms of fighting, Lu Zhen was more thoughtful.
"This can't be, that can't be, can you wait?" Lin Rui was on an equal footing with Lu Zhen in the army, so he talked to Lu Zhen more casually.
Lin Mu asked Lu Zhen at this time, "What do you think?" “
"The last general thought that he would attack Yanziji that night, and he would also choose a dark night without a moon and without seeing his five fingers." Lu Zhen picked up his binoculars, "And we have this, we can see more clearly than the Jin people at night." “
Lin Rui suddenly realized that the telescope that Lin Mu gave them could also see things at night, although it was blurry, it was enough.
"This method is good, attacking Yanziji at night, we have eyes, but the golden man is blind." Lin Mu said that this was also his idea.
After thinking for a while, he said again: "On the night of the night attack, let the recruits replace the veterans to guard the city, and the veterans are responsible for the night raids. “
After that, he asked Lu Zhen and Lin Rui to come to him at night and give the two of them something to use in this night attack.
After explaining this matter, Lin Mu returned to the mansion, and while Xiao Ke was young, Liu Ruyan took the slaves out to play, and he entered S City alone.
What he is looking for this time is very clear, that is, night vision devices, the current telescopes owned by Lu Zhen and Lin Rui have night vision functions, but they are far from enough.
At the very least, he must let the company commander wear night vision devices during the battle, so that he can give full play to the dual advantages of vision and flexible command when fighting at night.
Otherwise, Lu Zhen and Lin Rui can see it, and it makes no sense for everyone else to be blind.
When he came to the garrison of S City, Lin Mu successfully found more than 200 military night vision devices, which were completely enough for this use, and there were no company commanders of this number among the veterans.
Taking out all the night vision devices, Lu Zhen and Lin Rui arrived as promised at night, and after learning that this is something that can be seen at night, both of them showed shocked looks, they didn't expect Lin Mu to have so many treasures.
"These things are the secret weapons of our Ning army, they are only distributed during night battles, and they must be put away and kept strictly after the war, and they must not be used, these things are very valuable." Lin Mu Zhengse.
Even in contemporary times, night vision devices are not installed on a large scale, and they are basically used by special forces, and they are only distributed and used in wartime on weekdays.
Therefore, Lin Mu naturally has to establish strict storage procedures to avoid the abuse of equipment, and at the same time, he doesn't want to expose the night vision device too early.
"It's... My lord. Lu Zhen stammered when he was excited, with this, why worry about not being able to take Yanziji.
"Take these things back, teach the company commander and other generals in the military academy, and once you have the opportunity, immediately capture Yanziji." Lin Mu said.
The two nodded heavily when they heard this, and excitedly asked the soldier to go back with the night vision device.
Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief here, but Liu Jiangbai and Duanwang were in a solemn state of mind at this time, they could see the purpose of the Jin soldiers from the dispatch of the Jin soldiers, and then Jiangning City would usher in a stormy attack by the Jin people.
"Lin Shi said that he could hold it for a month with one dock fort, and Jiangning City would not lose to Lin Jiawu fort." Duan Wang squinted his eyes and said.
In this month's time, they renovated the city wall, prepared enough fire oil and stones to defend the city, and rushed to make a batch of firearms, so it can be said that they are more confident in the face of the Jin people.
Liu Jiangbai nodded slightly, and he said; "Lin Mu is a restless boy, he will definitely make some noise when the Jin people attack the city, as long as we stick to Jiangning City, there is hope to drive the Jin people back to Jiangbei."
King Duan now, like Liu Jiangbai, put the hope of victory on Lin Mu, looking at Lin Jiawu Fort, he fell into deep thought.
