Chapter 60: Suspicious and Suspicious
As Zhao Kuangyin said, the costumes of the Shouzhou military array are not neat at all, and in the second half of the three military formations, there are not only unusually fancy national costumes, but also a lot of brown and gray peasant costumes.
Li Gu quickly noticed these details and couldn't help laughing: "If you look closely at Lin Feng's formation, you can learn a lot of things!" He did bring in some reinforcements, but the overall number was not much! Moreover, these people had never played in previous matches, and the old man thought that this was most likely Lin Feng's suspicious tactic, and those soldiers might be regimental training or villagers who were temporarily brought in. What the old man hasn't figured out yet is that if Lin Feng doesn't have so many troops, why would he have to fight us in the field? ”
Shi Detong smiled beside him: "What Li Shuai said is extremely true! In the next opinion, this is Lin Feng's last resort. The layers of blocking should be to buy time for Xiao Tang's rear reinforcements; If you don't defend the city but come to the field, I am afraid that you want to take the opportunity to eradicate the dissidents in the army, and of course, you may also want to secretly ambush and raid our army. ”
Hearing Shi Detong's "big discussion", Hou Zhang, Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin and the rest of the generals couldn't help frowning, eradicating dissent? No matter how bad Lin Feng is, he won't do it like this, right?
Wu Shengjiedu made Hou Zhang retort first: "Li Shuai, there must be something strange in this matter!" It can be seen from the specific process of crossing the river that Lin Feng is by no means a person who can be easily guessed! This person is cautious, and there must be a deep meaning in doing so, and the old man suggests thinking twice! ”
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but speak: "Li Shuai, according to the detailed report of the lurking Shouzhou, Shouzhou originally had about 14,000 Shouzhou troops, plus thousands of regiments of training soldiers, the total number was only more than 20,000. It can be deduced from this that it is really possible that Lin Feng has brought nearly 10,000 reinforcements from Chudi. From the point of view of time, if Lin Feng sent someone to Chudi as soon as he entered Shouzhou, it would be too late in time! ”
Shi Detong immediately sneered: "Not to mention whether Lin Feng has the magic plan to predict the war in advance, those tribal armies have always been unprofitable and can't afford to be early, where did Lin Feng get so much money to ask them to travel thousands of miles to help in the war?" If Lin Feng wanted to go to Chu Di, thousands of miles away, to pull troops, he might as well go to Jinling City to ask for reinforcements! Besides, if Xiao Tang Jingshi hadn't sent reinforcements, could he easily allow him Lin Feng to borrow troops from Chu Di privately?!
I think this matter is just as Li Shuai said, those soldiers in barbarian costumes are completely Lin Feng's suspicious strategy! It is possible that Lin Feng hid Jinling reinforcements after the battle array! It's a pity that we don't know anything about the military deployment of the Southern Tang Dynasty in Huainan! ”
Shi Detong's speculation caused many generals to nod their heads again and again, his analysis of the Chu reinforcements was reasonable, and it had been eight days since the Zhou army had been stationed on the north bank of the Huai River. If the Southern Tang Dynasty sent troops from Jinling as soon as possible, they should have arrived!
"I don't think it's possible! If Jinling really sent troops over, I don't think Lin Feng would easily give up the Huaihe River in front of the forbidden army anyway, and he would definitely fight to the death! Especially in today's battle of the fortress, our army will do almost nothing, there must be a conspiracy in it! Zhao Kuangyin immediately retorted loudly.
Shi Detong glanced at Zhao Kuangyin dissatisfied, and said disdainfully: "Then please General Zhao to solve the confusion of the big guys, why does Lin Feng want to sing such a play?!" ”
Zhao Kuangyin paused slightly, but when he saw Shi Detong's contemptuous eyes, he couldn't help but say the suspicion that he had been thinking about in his heart: "Li Shuai, the last general insists that Lin Feng is a far-sighted person, and he has always taken a few steps at a time, and he must not be underestimated!" Xiao Tang had secretly contacted the Liao State before, and the rebellion in the four states of our dynasty, Jinjiang, and Jiang should have been secretly provoked by Lin Feng; Thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that Lin Feng will take the initiative to attack Fuzhou and Chaozhou after recovering Qingyuan, and it seems that he also has the idea of containing Wu Yue and Southern Han to prevent them from attacking the hinterland of Xiaotang when our army moves south; According to this inference, Lin Feng's early layout was probably to deal with the situation of today's Great War between the North and the South! ”
"Cut!" Shi Detong immediately shook his head, and said in an even more disdainful tone, "Hearing General Zhao say this, then Lin Feng is even smarter than Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms?!" General Zhao, all of your speculation is pure speculation! Don't go so far, just tell me what Lin Feng is doing today, right? ”
Hou Zhang, who had been thinking about it, interjected: "The old man thinks what General Zhao said is worth thinking about. The old man himself also thinks that Jinling reinforcements have not yet arrived! On the one hand, the first task of the forbidden army is to guard the Beijing Division, and when our army goes south, it will never be transferred lightly, and the time will definitely not be so fast; Of the two, Lin Feng now commanded 30,000 troops, and Xiao Tang would not easily hand over more soldiers to him in the future! ”
Lord Hou's words immediately attracted the approval of several Jiedu army generals, and they all nodded in unison.
This is almost an unspoken rule for five generations, no, the emperor in history to control the local officials, no matter how powerful the party is, it is unlikely that you will openly have too many soldiers! Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, there have been frequent changes of regime in the north, almost all of which were caused by the rebellion of the generals with heavy troops! Now, there is no one in the whole world who commands more than 30,000 troops! Lin Feng is just the assassin of a small state in the Southern Tang Dynasty, even if he adds a nondescript position as the governor of the central capital, being able to command 30,000 troops is already a special case within a special case!
Shi Detong was speechless for a while, then remembered his old question again, and continued to ask: "General Zhao, you haven't said what you think of Lin Feng's move today!" ”
Zhao Kuangyin's expression was solemn, and then he looked at the Shouzhou Army in the distance, and said with a long breath: "Zhao and Lin Feng have met in Linhuai Town, and the deepest impression he left on me is his undisguised self-confidence!" If we take a step back and think about it, Lin Feng's repeated challenges and two challenges, blocking layers of layers on the riverbank, are not fierce, but he is really confident, is he really challenging us? Then, Lin Feng's battle situation today may be that he is ready to show us his strength, and by the way, let the enlisted soldiers go through the battlefield training! ”
Shi Detong's eyes suddenly widened, he looked at Zhao Kuangyin in disbelief, and his right hand couldn't help but point at him: "General Zhao, you won't be scared by Lin Feng, right?" So what is the current Civil and Southern War? He, Lin Feng, led a small Shouzhou, singled out our 180,000 elites? Singled out our Great Zhou Kingdom? ”
Several of the startled generals exhaled lightly and couldn't help but chuckle. If it is really pushed down according to Zhao Kuangyin's ideas, it will be too nonsense and absurd!
Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were red with anger, he straightened his body, pointed to the Shouzhou army below and shouted: "Since Lin Feng's debut, there have been many people who despise him and many countries who despise him, but they all failed without exception!" The state of Chu is proof, Qingyuan is proof, and the unfavorable war in our four states of Jin Jiang is also proof!
Then please General Shi tell me, what is Lin Feng crazy about? Isn't it better for him to pull 30,000 soldiers into Shouzhou and defend the city than anything else? You look at those soldiers, they have stood from the beginning to the present, basically unmoved, could this be a rabble?! ”
Shi Detong was also angry, and shouted: "Have we been defeated in the four states of Jinjiang?" Now we have regained lost ground! It's a small Shouzhou, does it have so much grain? If he didn't take the opportunity to kill some soldiers who ate food, would he Lin Feng be able to hold on? ”
Zhao Kuangyin's anger was really provoked by Shi Detong, and he roared back: "The inline newspaper has long said that after Lin Feng arrived in Shouzhou, he tried his best to curry favor with rich businessmen from all over the world, and many people sent grain over one after another, how do you know that there is not enough food in Ludao City?" Lin Feng's reputation for benevolence and generosity is all over the world, and many people recite it, would he despise the lives of soldiers so much? Will he bring troops in the future? ”
"Alright, don't make any noise!" Li Gu, who was holding the city on the south side of the fortress, coughed lightly and suppressed the voices of the two, "The battle is the battle!" Our Great Zhou warriors will never be afraid! Let's just talk about how to attack! ”
The commander was angry, and the two people who quarreled naturally stopped, and a group of generals quickly unified their operational ideas: then the Shouzhou army was left to dry, the main elite of the army quickly crossed the river, and 5,000 cavalry opened the way in front of the head, and then 30,000 infantry fought one-on-one, taking advantage of the melee between the two sides, and then tens of thousands of elites were sent out to destroy them in one fell swoop!
The first order was soon handed down, and the Zhou army, which had crossed the river in advance, began to divide up 1,000 men and fill the trenches under the fortress with all their might, paving the way for the army to fight.
