In the barracks of the state army,

Xun You said: "Lord, the sentry cavalry has come to report that the Baibo army is preparing a large number of tools to cross the river, and his subordinates feel that they are likely to launch an offensive tonight or tomorrow morning." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Jiang Feng said: "Hasn't the Bai Bo Army been like this for the past few days? Wouldn't this be a temptation? ”

These days, the Bai Bo army kept changing the assembly location, but only built bridges and did not attack, which made Jiang Feng a little upset. After all, as long as Bai Bojun makes a move, Jiang Feng must follow and deploy, and there is a feeling of being led by the nose, which is very unpleasant.

Xun You said: "My lord, today is different from before, so far, the Baibo army has not assembled a team by the river. And the sentinels I sent brought back the news that the White Polish army had gathered a large amount of timber. The subordinates concluded that Bai Bojun's actions this time must be different from the previous temptation. ”

Jiang Feng has been dealing with the Wei family in Anyi County for the past few days, and he doesn't know a little about the things before the war, but he still believes in Xun You's judgment and says: "Okay, we will wait for the Baibo army to cross the river, and give them a head-on blow." ”

Xun You said with some concern: "My lord, this attack of the White Wave Army must not be simple, our sentry has never approached their military camp these days. Therefore, we don't know anything about what preparations the Bai Bo army has made, and since Guo Da dares to cross the river, then he must have thought about our preparations for an ambush. ”

Jiang Feng smiled: "What are you afraid of him, aren't we already clear about their situation?" Even if he crossed the river with all his might, what could he do? We will still be hit head-on. ”

Xun Yu said: "My subordinates suggested that the officers and men of the whole army should make a meal earlier, and after dinner, the officers and men of the whole army should lay an ambush by the clear water to prevent the enemy from suddenly crossing the river." ”

Jiang Feng nodded and issued an order according to Xun You's suggestion.

The Qingshui River is not a big river of the Yangtze River, and there are many places suitable for crossing the river, so the battle line will be extremely long. At least within a radius of ten miles, it is suitable for crossing the river.

Then if Jiang Feng wants to defend against Guo Da's attack, he must fully deploy troops in the sphere of influence.

"The Art of War" has clouds: the invincible, guard; The victor is also attacked. The rules are insufficient, but the offense is more than enough.

In other words, as long as you are defensive, you have no chance of victory, because defense is always undermanned. The opponent doesn't need to attack all of your places at the same time, but you have to defend them all at the same time.

At this time, Jiang Feng was on the defensive side, and Guo Da was on the offensive side. It is not necessary to take more precautions and less to prepare, not to mention that Jiang Feng's troops are not many in the first place.

Therefore, Jiang Feng does not need to defend all, what he needs to do is to guess the opponent's attack intention and achieve targeted defense.

How can you accurately guess the opponent's attack intent?

One way is that you need a very knowledgeable think tank to provide you with professional advice. However, this requires you to compare and sift through these opinions and make what you think is the most correct choice. The probability of success depends on whether your think tank is powerful and whether your decision is correct. This is a probabilistic event, because one cannot all be right.

Another way is that you have a large spy agency that can get the most accurate intelligence directly from the other side. In this way, the success rate is greatly improved. Therefore, intelligence work is often the most important part of warfare.

And at this time, the value of Xun You's flowing money is truly reflected.

"My lord, this is the relevant information I have gathered, and it should be of some help." Xun You presented a brief book.

Jiang Feng opened it and took a look, and it read: According to the report, in the past few days, the Baibo Army has urgently dispatched 5,000 militiamen from Pujia Valley to the Qingshuihe camp, and carried a large amount of wood, made a lot of pontoon bridges and tools for camping.

In addition, the grouping of the White Polish army this time was three groups, two of which were equipped with a large amount of wood, while the other group had only a small number of torches......

Xun You said: "Lord, from the perspective of his subordinates, the Baibo Army is going to attack in four ways this time. Judging from the distribution, it must be that the militia must be used as bait to assault the two river bridges head-on, and then take advantage of the cover of night to let the other two elite troops cross the river at night. If we don't take precautions, the next day we will see an enemy camp on this side, and then we will completely lose our geographical advantage. ”

Jiang Feng looked at the map of the Qingshui River and also fell into thought, there were two more bridges above the Qingshui, a bridge and a single-plank bridge. The single-plank bridge was on the south side of the bridge, five miles apart, and the two armies were camped directly across the bridge.

According to the location of the camps of both sides and the speed of the march, if the other side wants to cross the river and set up camp before dawn, the range of the attack must not exceed a radius of five miles.

In other words, with the current bridge as the central point, the attack must be within five miles of the bridge.

And if the enemy wants to hide from the eyes and ears and needs to make a feint at the bridge, then there will definitely be no second force infiltrating within a mile of the bridge.

The single-plank bridge can facilitate the crossing of the river by the troops, so the other side will definitely send a force to cross the river from the single-plank bridge, so it can be concluded that there will be a main force at the single-plank bridge.

As for the other group, there may be any miscellaneous place that goes undetected. It's a surprise team, and it's probably the key to victory.

"The Art of War" has a cloud: fight with the right and win by surprise.

In battle, victory is often decided not by large forces attacking head-on, but by small forces that are ready to attack.

"Gongda, do you have any other suggestions?" Jiang Feng still had to ask about Xun You's final suggestion.

Xun You said: "My lord, I think that the distribution of troops must be limited to 1,000 people, if it is less than 1,000 people, we may not be able to give the other party enough blows after the other party crosses the river." In addition, prepare more fierce fire oil, and if necessary, you can burn the bridge to prevent the enemy from attacking. ”

After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Feng called all the generals and arranged the task: "Okay, pass the order." The soldiers of the headquarters were divided into four teams, and Dian Wei led 1,000 infantry to guard the bridge. Gao Shun led 1,000 infantry men to defend the single-plank bridge. Wei Xu led a thousand infantry to ambush in the middle of the single-plank bridge and the bridge. Cheng Lian led 1,000 men and horses to the north of the bridge. Cao Xing took 1,000 men and horses as a backup and stayed behind in the Chinese army. In addition, each unit received 100 catties of fierce fire oil, prepared to ignite the projectile, and once the enemy army was found to be strong, it immediately burned across the bridge. ”

"Yes!" The generals were ordered to go and make arrangements.
