Chapter 618: Soldiers and Dan Disciples
The battle across the river, which lasted for several months, finally came to an end.
The casualties in this battle were extremely heavy, and according to later statistics, not counting the wounded, the number of people killed in the battle was as high as more than 100,000.
After the post-war statistics were handed in, Li Yang was really taken aback.
But the effort is worth it, as long as the Yangtze River is crossed, the next step is a complete land battle, and Li Yang also has absolute confidence in this.
With the reorganization of the army, Li Yang led them into the camp of the original Zhao Junrui.
Although under the leadership of Han Xin, they retreated tightly and orderly, and even demolished most of the camp items, but their terrain transformation here still saved Li Yang and them a lot of trouble.
"The other party's retreat is obviously prepared for this retreat, as if Han Xin had expected us to attack today."
Sitting at the top of the temporary main account, Li Yang looked at the generals below and said with some hesitation.
"Big brother, I don't think it's that Han Xin expected us to attack today, but that he was ready for us to attack us early, otherwise, not to mention anything else, it would be impossible for Zilong alone to succeed in the raid."
After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Li Yang nodded, expressing his approval and taking precautions, which also shows Han Xin's ability.
Immediately, Li Yang turned his head to look at Li Jing, "Pharmacist, the enemy's movements have been clearly investigated. ”
When Li Jing heard this, he stood up and replied: "Tell the lord, according to the report of the horse survey, the enemy army is slowly moving southeast, and I am afraid that it will retreat to Danyang." ”
"Danyang!" Li Yang muttered.
Although Danyang City is not the seat of Danyang County, it is also a big city in Danyang County, and if Li Yang wants to enter Huiji, then this is the only way to go.
"He didn't hesitate to retreat to Danyang City, which means that he must have made sufficient preparations over there." Li Yang tapped his fingers on the table, looked at the generals and said: "We have been delayed on the Yangtze River defense line for several months, and we have suffered nearly 200,000 casualties. ”
The generals glanced at each other, and finally Li Jing stood up.
"The Marquis of Huaiyin is a warrior of the country, invincible, and his tricks are useless, and he can only fight head-on."
Li Jingnai is a military general of the Tang Dynasty and the latest military god here, he is familiar with the art of war, and he is naturally familiar with the commanders of all dynasties, so he has the most right to speak for Bai Qi and Han Xin.
Li Jing explained his opinion, and at the same time, his words revealed a desire, a desire to fight Han Xin head-on.
Li Yang glanced at Li Jing, raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and then looked at Bai Qi, "What does Wu Anjun think?" ”
Bai Qi, who was still full of murderous anger, heard Li Yang's inquiry, so he stood up and said to Li Yang.
"Bai Qi didn't know this Han Xin before, but in the past few days, I heard that Senior Brother Yao and Brother Shubao had mentioned this person's achievements, so I know a little."
When Li Yang heard what Bai Qi said, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Qin Qiong behind Li Jing.
Xindao, this Qin Qiong is still unwilling to submit to himself in a down-to-earth manner, but it is a good sign that he can get along with Bai Qi and them, but if he is willing to surrender himself completely, then with Qin Qiong's ability, it is probably no problem to independently lead a legion.
"Han Xin has a strategy in his heart, and he is even more careful in using soldiers, luring the enemy, deceiving and surrendering and other strategies, this person will be able to see through it, so if you want to defeat him, you can only use yang strategy to break it with force."
"How?" Li Yang asked out loud.
"You need to go to Danyang, check its terrain, and then think about it!"
After listening to this, Li Yang pondered.
In fact, Li Yang also understands their feelings, just like he did to Li Jing at the beginning, he also relied on the frontal bombardment to force Yuan Shu to abandon the city and flee, otherwise there is really no way.
In fact, it is the same, whether Li Yang's subordinates are Li Jing or Bai Qi, if they are given enough troops to defend one side, Li Yang will not have any worries.
Now Li Yang is even regretting it, why didn't he let the Pluto Legion replace the Taishan Legion to guard the Tiger Prison, so that he didn't need to worry about Cao Cao anymore.
"Big brother, since we have crossed the Yangtze River, can the Wolf Tooth Legion also cross the Yangtze River and attack Yangzhou?"
Zhao Yun, who had been sitting without speaking, suddenly stood up and said loudly.
Without waiting for Li Yang to speak, Zhang Liang on the side said: "After the Wolf Tooth Legion returned to Xuzhou, it was stationed in the town naval camp to rest, but according to the intelligence from the day before yesterday, Zhao Junrui was also on the other side of the town naval station, and increased the troops, and now I am afraid that there are nearly 300,000 horses." ”
The town navy regiment was stationed at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and in order to prevent a sudden attack by the town navy, the enemy already had 200,000 soldiers and horses to defend it, and this Li Yang knew it.
"Although the Wolf Tooth Legion has suffered tens of thousands of injuries, there are still 400,000 soldiers, and Zhao Junrui has only sent 100,000 additional soldiers and horses, so it seems that there are no extra soldiers in his territory." Li Yang muttered.
"Big brother, not really!" Zhang Liang, who was sitting in front of Li Yang, naturally heard what Li Yang said, and reminded him loudly: "Big brother, don't forget, the fleet that blocked the Zhen Navy and the Wolf Tooth Army at sea. ”
Li Yang frowned when he heard this.
"According to Ren Hu's intelligence, the enemy's fleet is no less than 300 warships, and all of them are high-level warships, and the number of troops is not less than 300,000! In addition, according to Heshen's intelligence, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding Huiji, so the enemy's strength is still quite large. ”
"What can the second brother do?" Li Yang frowned and asked.
"What the two generals just said, a certain person thinks the same, I know Han Xin very well, in terms of ability, is not inferior to the generals, and the more troops in his hands, the higher the combat effectiveness he plays, but now the enemy army has more troops than us, and it is not easy to deal with it head-on.
Therefore, a certain thought that there was no need to be an enemy here, but to send a full range of soldiers and horses to attack the Dantu, and before the enemy's reinforcements arrived, cooperate with the Wolf Tooth Legion and the Zhenhai Regiment to take down the 300,000 soldiers and horses. ”
Dantu is located opposite the garrison of the town navy, and it is also the place where the enemy is garrisoned, if the wolf tooth army wants to break through the Yangtze River, it must first deal with this force.
"Feasible!" Li Yang nodded, "That second brother thinks, which general to send and how many people are appropriate?" ”
Zhang Liang looked at Zhao Yun, who was eager to try, and said, "Zilong is still relatively experienced in this matter, and if he deals with Han Xin, he still has to rely on General Li and General Bai." ”
"Yes!" Li Yang glanced at Zhao Yun and nodded.
"Therefore, if you want to travel through the enemy's territory, the logistics supply will inevitably not be able to keep up, plus you have to increase the speed, so because the cavalry is the mainstay, a suggestion can let Zilong take all the cavalry of the Dragon Legion to go, but the cavalry siege is still relatively lacking, so a general of the Pluto Legion is still needed."
After saying that, Zhang Liang looked at Bai Qi with a smile.
"What the second general said, but Gao Shun?"
Zhang Liang smiled: "Exactly! The camp led by General Gao is the elite of the elite, and it is unmatched in the siege of the city, and I believe that with the cooperation of Zilong, he will definitely be able to successfully take down the Dantu. ”
'Gao Shun! Li Yang, who was originally a little puzzled, heard the name, his eyes lit up instantly, and after Gao Shun surrendered, he took his personal guards to the front line to deal with Yuan Shao.
"How many people are in this camp now?" Li Yang asked out loud.
"My lord, there are nearly 10,000 people!" Bai Qi stood up and reported.
For the ability to trap the camp, Bai Qi is clear, so he also vigorously supports Gao Shun's cultivation, if it weren't for the harsh requirements of the trapping camp, I am afraid that the number of people would be more than now.
"Good!" When Li Yang heard this number, he was overjoyed, "Then the third brother and Gao Shun will take 50,000 cavalry and 10,000 trapped camps together, and set off for Dantu tomorrow." ”
