But after detecting the truth and truth, the army of the Great Yue Kingdom will definitely send a large army out of the city to meet the battle.

In the case of cavalry, the new army of the Great Song Dynasty was not afraid of these female soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom, and the casualties on the battle array would not be too many.

Cai Dao brought a large number of ambulances this time to prepare for this purpose.

Next, during the siege of the city, once the lightning and explosives collapsed the walls and gates of Thang Long City, it would greatly deter the monarchs and people of the Great Viet Kingdom, and disintegrate the morale of the city that had been reduced to the extreme.

Moreover, if you choose these two methods and sneak attack immediately tomorrow, there is a very big drawback.

The number of soldiers brought by Cai Dao this time was too small, and there was no way to defend the three directions of Thang Long City. Outside the southern city gate is the Red River, and there is a naval army in hand, so he is not afraid that the people he wants to capture will escape from this direction.

However, there are pros and cons to both methods, and Cai Dao doesn't want to expose the secret of powerful gunpowder, so he decided to spread out the matter and let the people vote on it.

This is also the first time that Cai Dao has adopted the practice of gathering everyone's opinions.

Gunpowder is one of the four great inventions of China, but it was not in the Song Dynasty that it was really used to bomb cities and breach city gates, at most it was rockets and other weapons. And the thunderbolt cannon, that is, the so-called artillery demon of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Gang only shined in front of the Jin army when he was guarding Bianliang City.

As for the Earthquake Thunder, it is at most a shoddy grenade that is still in its embryonic stage.

After summoning the generals, Cai Dao also specially called that Li Zhongshun in.

Cai Dao spread out his plan and told everyone.

"Daochang Cai, the last general will choose the second method!"

“……”

“……”

Although everyone had certainly not discussed each other beforehand, they all chose the second method of attacking Thang Long City in a one-sided manner.

This time, even Dean didn't understand Cai Dao's concerns at this time.

With such a once-in-a-lifetime offensive method, as long as you have a little IQ, you will choose this method, there is no doubt about it.

"Alas......!" Cai Daoyi listened to the decision of the people, or sighed for a long time, in the final analysis, these people still do not believe that they can easily break through the city wall, and can use the method of sneak attack to bypass the strong city wall, which is of course the best choice for everyone.

Cai Dao did not explain why he would want to give up such an attractive fighter.

He explained the difficulties and said, "Although this method is good, it also has great hidden worries. The number of people we brought this time is too small, and the number of soldiers in Thang Long City has almost reached ten times that of us. If Li Qiande and Li Changjie hardened their hearts and took the initiative to give up Thang Long City, we would not be able to stop them from escaping! In this way, if you can't finish the battle, the hidden danger will be very big. Is that really good? ”

That's true.

If the Song army had adopted the first method, the soldiers under his command would have basically been new recruits now, but the team included more than 1,000 elite cavalry of the Western Army, and the generals present would naturally have confidence and were not worried about not winning the other party.

But what about after the big victory in the field?

Is it really certain to attack a strong wall head-on?

In the final analysis, everyone still didn't believe that Cai Dao could easily take down the city wall.

Since this is the case, Cai Dao no longer wants to insist.

All that's left is time to schedule tasks.

Cai Dao said: "Well, since you have chosen so, the rest still needs to be completed by the efforts of the generals." First of all, Poor Dao is preparing to take the form of encircling three and one to surprise attack Thang Long City.

Because of the limited forces in our hands, Poor Dao is ready to abandon Ximen, and if Li Gande wants to escape from here, we can let him leave.

General Di'an, you lead all the cavalry to rest in the northeast direction of Thang Long City, once Li Gande absconds from the east or the north, both directions, you will immediately command the cavalry to quickly disperse them, if you find that the strength in your hands is not enough to defeat them, you can follow them all the way, waiting for reinforcements to destroy them together.

General Guo, you and Poor Dao each took 15,000 men and horses, and attacked Thang Long City from all the city gates in the east and all the city gates in the north respectively, and after entering the city, according to the original plan, first controlled the city gates, and then gradually disintegrated the counterattack of the Da Yue army in the city, and sent people to set fire to the city, causing chaos in the whole city. The remaining 5,000 people were held by Lord Yang to keep the rations of our army.

What do you think, General Guo, which direction do you choose? ”

Cai Dao's initiative to abandon the city gate in one direction was obviously correct, because the west gate was in the direction close to the sea.

Although the Song army did not have follow-up reinforcements this time, when the money came, it would recruit a large number of people in the coastal areas of Lingnan, and if the Song army's military operations went well, then these people would be the porters of the Great Song Dynasty, and all the cities around Thang Long City and several surrounding cities would be emptied.

Once the Song army took control of the entire city of Thang Long City, they would free up their hands and directly attack the fleeing Da Yue army from behind.

As for the direction of the south gate of Thang Long City, Cai Dao does not send a single soldier, and the army of the Great Yue Kingdom does not want to leave from here. There is a lot of water flow in the Red River, and at this moment, there is the Song army itself in the Red River, as well as countless large and small warships captured along the way, if Li Qiande really wants to cross the Red River from this direction, Cai Dao's trip will be much easier.

Moreover, with these warships, the Song army did not need to worry about being cut off by the Dayue army.

Although Li Zhongshun said a lot about the situation of the city's defenses, it is a pity that his own status is not high and he knows very little. What's more, Guo Zhongxiao may not necessarily believe this more treacherous words.

What the deployment of the troops of the Great Yue Army in the city was, even Li Zhongshun couldn't understand, and everyone present definitely didn't know. This is also a consequence of information asymmetry.

Cai Dao sent a lot of people to Thang Long City to inquire about the relevant news in the early stage. However, these people were only mortals after all, and Da Yue Guo had always been suspicious of the Song people, and if he rashly asked some questions about military deployment in the city, he might expose Cai Dao's purpose in advance. Because of this, those spies got a lot of information, but very little useful information.

In terms of which direction to choose, Guo Zhongxiao did not dare to make a decision easily, he was not worried about himself, but worried that if Cai Dao chose a direction with more troop deployment and failed to complete the task, the official family would definitely not blame Cai Dao, but would blame himself.

So, he took out a copper coin from his bosom, threw it into the air, and said, "Poor Dao should still throw copper coins to decide!" ”
