Chapter XVI Meetings

Chen Wenzhou and Li Siye are naturally not in the camp of the war of words.

"General, it seems that the rebels only have infantry and infantry, not cavalry," Chen Wenzhou said after carefully observing the men and horses of the Jingbian army.

While observing the camp of the Jingbian army on the other side of the river, Li Siye nodded and said, "Yes, I have also discovered this. And it seemed that Ling Kun had already come here to take precautions. ”

Li Siye pointed to the camp tent of the Jingbian army on the other side of the river, "You see that their camp tent is staggered and orderly, sparse and dense, tight on the outside and loose on the inside, this Ling Kun Lao'er is also an expert." ”

Chen Wenzhou looked at the camp tent of the Jingbian Army and said: "The general is not bad at all, this day than the second child looks like a cautious guy, it is completely a defensive way of playing, we will definitely not be able to attack it for a while and a half, general, in my opinion, it is better to set up the camp first, and let's discuss how to break the enemy together at night." ”

"Well, that's exactly what I want, give the order, and collect the troops!"

The right front army scolded the soldiers and shouted: "The day is older than the old, it is late today, it is not suitable to fight, and we will fight again tomorrow morning!" ”

Li Siye and Chen Wenzhou retreated to the north bank of the Cangtou River with the right front army, camped on the spot, and let the Jingbian army scold non-stop, and the Shuofang army made a fire to cook by itself.

was so angry that Ling Kun almost took a mouthful of old blood.

After dinner, Li Siye gathered the main generals of the Right Front Army to discuss matters in the Chinese army.

Including the newly promoted Tun Cavalry Captain Hun Ying, Yue Cavalry Captain Nan Jiyun, and Jumping Captain Li Fei Yuanli.

These people were originally the brigade leaders of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, because they took the lead in the battle of Jiangjungou and performed outstandingly, and were recommended by Li Siye and Chen Wenzhou to be promoted to lieutenants.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Siye said, "Let me talk about it first." Today, Master Chen used the method of agitation to provoke Ling Kun Lao'er and the Jingbian army, we took a look at it, and combined with the news obtained from Tanma, there are about 3,000 rebels in Cangtouhe, mainly with soldiers and foot shooting. When our army set out from Jiangjungou, it only had three days' worth of dry rations, and now it can last for one day, so we must cross the Cangtou River tomorrow, defeat the rebels, and replenish food and grass. ”

Nan Jiyun, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, hugged his fists to Li Siye and Chen Wenzhou and said: "General, the main book, the scouts I sent out in the morning came to report for dinner, there are more than thirty miles near our army's camp, only the water flow in the camp is relatively gentle and wide, and the river can be crossed, and there is a wooden bridge five miles east of the camp, but it was demolished by Ling Kun a few days ago. ”

Everyone looked at Chen Wenzhou, Chen Wenzhou felt that the atmosphere was not right, raised his head, and looked at himself with more than a dozen eyes, "You discuss first, I am in a hurry to urinate, withdraw," After speaking, he was ready to run away, he had not been able to change from the head of the fire army to the main bookkeeper for a short time, and he was a little unsuitable for such a 'high-intensity' work.

"Chen Wenzhou!" Li Siye glared at him.

"In!" Chen Wenzhou hurriedly stood upright, and Li Siye was hairy.

"You are the master of the march, the military advisor! At the moment of the great enemy, all the brothers are waiting for you to speak, what do you want to do! ”

"I want to pee."

"Hold back!" Li Siye roared.

Non-humanitarian abuse and administrative oppression, it seems that our army must strictly grasp the problem of the personal authority of the cadres and leaders, Chen Wenzhou muttered quietly, but still returned to the original position.

Everyone looked at Li Siye's angry hair and Chen Wenzhou's low eyebrows, and they couldn't stop snickering.

They had heard that this Master Chen was a strange person, but today they have seen it, and they have no officialdom quality.

Chen Wenzhou looked at the brief map for a long time, and then asked Nan Jiyun: "Captain Nan, you just said that around the Cangtou River thirty miles, only this river belt is slightly gentle, and you can cross the river?" ”

Nan Jiyun nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

"I observed the riverbank near our army's garrison today, the river is wide and the water is gentle, about a mile or so," Chen Wenzhou said, pointing to the riverbank in front of the camp on the map.

The crowd nodded.

Chen Wenzhou scratched his face with his index finger, "That means we can only cross the river bank here or so, otherwise, we will have to go thirty miles away to find a suitable place." Not to mention that time does not allow it, it is difficult to say whether there is a suitable place thirty miles away, and we are running out of dry food. ”

Li Siye nodded, frowned and said, "It's exactly as Wen Zhou said." But if we attack from this section of the river, the rebels will surely hold on to the opposite bank, and the enemy will be outnumbered, and our army will surely suffer great losses if they wade into the water. ”

Listening to Li Siye's words, everyone frowned.

"How about we cross the river in three ways?" Jumping Riding Captain Hun Xuan said.

Li Siye looked at the simple map, shook his head and said: "The number of the Cangtouhe rebels is three times that of our army, and they are mainly infantry and foot soldiers, which is extremely advantageous for defense. Moreover, in the afternoon, I made a preliminary observation that the area near the rebel camp site had a wide field of vision, and even if we split our troops to cross the river, the other side would be able to quickly discover it, so as to provide timely support, and it was not advisable to divide our troops to cross the river. ”

Nan Jiyun and Li Fei Yuanli nodded at the same time, and Li Fei Yuanli said: "General, master, then we will take advantage of tonight to launch a sneak attack and smuggle in one go?" ”

"Yes, let's force the night to cross!" Hun Yang and Nan Jiyun also seconded.

Chen Wenzhou shook his head and smiled: "This afternoon, I observed the rebel formations with the general, and we came to a conclusion that this Ling Kun is a good defender. Since he is so cautious, you say, will he guard against us smuggling? If we can release the scout horse, then how could Ling Kun not send someone to spy on us? Besides, our two armies face each other across the river, and the distance is only within a thousand feet, we are afraid that we will fart here, and we can smell a little bit more fragrant than Lao'er that day, and if we want to smuggle at such a close distance, I am afraid that we will cover our ears and steal the bell. ”

Li Siye nodded and said, "Yes, we can only think of other ways." ”

"Within one mile, within one mile" Chen Wenzhou put his hands behind his back, buried his head, and paced back and forth with his back to everyone, and kept muttering, "Within one mile, within one mile, not to attack, but to win, win, win." ”

Hun Xuan was about to speak, but Li Siye hurriedly shook his head at him, signaling him not to interrupt Chen Wenzhou.

"There it is!" Chen Wenzhou suddenly turned around, startling everyone.

"Wen Zhou! What do you think! Li Siye hurriedly asked.

Chen Wenzhou did not answer him, but ran to the bank of the river outside the big tent, craned his neck to look at the rebels on the other side of the river.

Li Siye and the others followed, and saw Chen Wenzhou looking east and west across the river.

Li Siye had just come to Chen Wenzhou's side, and Chen Wenzhou hurriedly pulled him and said, "General, what can you see on the other side?" ”

Li Siye raised his eyes to look across the river, "I can see the torches on the other side." ”

"Can you see people?" Chen Wenzhou asked eagerly.

Li Siye shook his head and nodded again, "I can't see clearly, it's very blurry, I can only see a figure shaking, but I can't see the specific number of people clearly, what's wrong Wen Zhou?" ”

Chen Wenzhou's face was overjoyed, and he said excitedly: "It seems that there is no problem with my eyesight. ”

Plopping and plopping, Nanji, Yunli, Fei Yuanli and others fell to the ground one after another.

I waited for a long time for such a sentence.

"Wen Zhou, do you have a strategy to break the enemy?" Li Siye knew Chen Wenzhou best, and when he saw Chen Wenzhou's face showing joy, he knew that there was a furrow in his chest.

"Sleep, sleep, you'll know tomorrow!" Sleep is an important way to ensure flexible thinking, Chen Wenzhou greeted with a smug face and went to sleep.

"This?" The rest of the men had just gotten up, and before they could fix their hair, they saw their marching master book run away.

Li Siye's heart fell to the ground, and he ordered solemnly: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

The people hastened to assemble and stand upright, waiting for the chief's instructions.

"Go back to sleep!"

After Li Siye gave the military order, he yawned and went back to sleep.

The rest of you, you look at me, I'll look at you.
