After Xu Ning and Xu Jing left, the generals' opinions tended to be the same. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This opportunity cannot be lost, and the key now lies in whether the conditions are ripe, that is, whether the many existing problems and difficulties can be resolved and overcome.

One by one, questions were raised, discussed and demonstrated.

First of all, the number of troops dispatched, the number of Shouzhou troops in Shouchun City reached more than 10,000 people, even if everything went well before, after capturing Shouchun City, it is necessary to control Shouchun City from being counterattacked by the Shouzhou army, even if the combat effectiveness of the Shouzhou army is insufficient, the number of the Huzhou army can not be too small, according to the results of the generals' discussions, at least 7,000 to 8,000 troops are needed, which means that the current Huzhou army is almost pouring out.

At present, however, the combat strength of the Third Army has not yet been formed, and only the First Army and the Second Army can be able to fight a battle.

After some discussion, it was basically decided that the First Army, the Second Army, plus the Cavalry Army and the Ya Army would all join the battle against Shouzhou.

After the number of troops participating in the battle was determined, the details of the negotiations began.

According to the plan proposed by the Zheng brothers, they took the east gate and entered the city through the east gate.

In addition to the north gate of Shouzhou City is the water gate, the west gate and the south gate are the main land access channels, and the east gate also exists, but not far from the door is the Feishui wharf, the East Creek and the North Creek are injected along the Feishui, and there is Dongtai Lake, which makes this area of the tree-lined ramp, the scenery is beautiful, it is the famous scenic spot of Shouzhou, and the famous Daogong Temple (Dongshan Temple) is built here.

The north gate is the water gate, and it is also the garrison of the two armies of the Shouzhou army, mainly to prevent the enemy from the north, especially to prevent ant thieves from crossing the Huai from the river near Shouchun.

The west gate and the south gate were important passages for merchants to enter and exit, so the Umeda family also stationed heavy troops here.

Only the east gate is not the main access channel, the city gate is smaller, only less than half the size of the west gate and the south gate, usually mainly for the use of dignitaries and gentry who enter and exit the Daogong Temple to worship the Buddha and go to Dongtai Lake to play.

The Zheng brothers' opinion is to enter the city from the east gate, after controlling the east gate, the Huzhou army can take advantage of the night to attack the west gate and the south gate garrison, temporarily ignore the naval army stationed at the north gate, because part of the naval army is stationed near the pier outside the north gate, and part of the camp is stationed in the north gate, one is far away, the other is more scattered, and the third is that its combat effectiveness is relatively weak, as long as the Shouzhou army at the west gate and the south gate is eliminated, the Shouchun situation can be basically controlled.

The guards at the east gate were weak, with only one battalion of troops, and although the battalion commander was not a child of the Zheng family, he was not a child of the Umeda family, but a lay disciple from Daogong Temple, and he also married a Zheng woman, and because of this, the Zheng brothers had this certainty.

"The strength of both armies is concentrated in the Tang Dynasty, how to explain it to the outside world?"

"On the grounds that there are a large number of robbers in the area of Tianzhu Mountain and Huoshan Mountain, our two armies will enter the mountains to clear ,......"

"You can make a false shot first, so that the first army can put on the posture of going south to Huoshan, and the second army will go south along the broken water, and also make a move to go to Huoshan to suppress bandits, temporarily avoiding the eyes and ears ,......"

Although the line from the Tang Dynasty to Shouchun is not considered a key defensive area of the Shouzhou Army, there will definitely be scouts to investigate in detail, and it is necessary to block this line of scouts to transmit news to Shouchun in order to ensure that our army's northward march will not be discovered,......

"The pro-guard team can cooperate with Wuwentang to enter the Anfeng line first, along the line from Anfeng to Shouchun, multiple defenses, and intercept Shouchun's scouts, but if you want to be foolproof and intercept all the scouts in place, no one can be sure of this, so it can only be said that they will do their best,......"

"How many private troops does the Zheng family have in Shouchun City? I am more worried about whether we can control the situation after entering the city, and take the garrisons of the south gate and the west gate in one fell swoop, even if it is at night, it is not easy, once the navy at the north gate moves, it may turn into a melee, and we must deter the navy at the north gate, so that it does not dare to act rashly,......

"Then you can only use the cavalry to arrange on the front line of Yanshunhe Street, once the navy dares to show its head, the cavalry will be covered with lightning speed, forcing it not to dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, and ensure that this side takes the south gate and the west gate garrison,......"

"The situation of the martial arts masters of the two Mei Tian families, I'm afraid we have to sum it up, the first master of the Mei family, Mei Guo is a master in the early stage of fixed breath, but he is older, and Tian Chunlai, the first master of the Tian family, is said to be a master in the late stage of Taixi, but I heard that this person has gone to Jiangning, I don't know ......"

Once the substantive discussion of the plan was reached, the generals began to put all their minds on the study of the plan.

Cui Shang is good at planning, and after the Zheng brothers revealed what they knew, he combined Zhang Wanshan's intelligence to draw up two sets of plans, but these can only be regarded as plans on paper.

After screening these two sets of plans at home, they also quickly formed the first set of plans, and the second set of plans as a backup plan, and then the two sets of plans were discussed by the future, questions were raised, and they were answered or modified one by one.

Each set of plans has to be carefully crafted repeatedly, and finally the Zheng brothers have to judge and fill in the gaps.

Only they are the ones who are most familiar with Shouzhou, and even the meticulous work of the Wuwentang Sect in Shouchun City cannot be compared to the two brothers who know everything about the inside and outside of Shouchun City.

Discussions on the programme continued from the morning to the evening.

Plans are not as fast as change, and any new information can affect the plan, so even at the last minute before implementation, there is still the possibility of change.

It wasn't until the next day that the sky was already white, and Cui Shang rubbed his bloodshot eyes and stretched his waist, "Qilang, it's almost, the lord also said that he will do his best to obey the destiny of heaven, be confident, and take into account everything that can be taken into account, but everyone knows that the battlefield is ever-changing, and how to operate can only rely on you who are generals to be flexible." ”

Only Cui Shang, Yang Kan, Zhang Ting, and Zhang Yue were left in the hall.

Cui Shang's words made the other three people feel a little pressure, it is true that the plan is dead, but the battlefield is alive, the plan can only be made roughly, many things are uncertain, and they can only rely on the presence of the generals to deal with it.

"Ziyue, I'll leave it to you here. Yang Kan shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "How many times can you fight in life, this is something that I heard from the lord, I think it is very agreeable, Ning Niangzi's words are also very reasonable, Shouzhou we are determined to win, so after all, if we want to fight, it should be sooner rather than later." ”

Zhang Ting's eyes were still roaming the map, and his slightly blue cheeks and chin had a little more beard stubble, as if he didn't hear Yang Kan's emotion: "Bai Ling, I feel that it is difficult to stop the reinforcements of the navy army by relying on a thousand cavalry alone, I am afraid that we have to arrange another line of defense, or shorten this line, so that it will be difficult for the Shouzhou navy to break through quickly after landing." ”

"Oh, what do you think?" Cui Shang's gaze also fell on the map.

"In this line of arson, this line is the timber market, extending from the north gate to the outside of the wharf, most of them are shops dealing in timber, and there are many fire-burning utensils, in a certain opinion, if you can take one or two fire mages along this line to prevent fire by spelling, you can block the reinforcement channel of the navy, and force it to either go out of the city and bypass, or only cross the street of Shunhe from the right flank, and if the two battalions of cavalry can control this line with a flanking force, it will be much easier to control this line, and even draw out some cavalry to reinforce the south gate and the west gate. ”

Several people gasped.

With a stroke of Zhang Ting's finger, most of the entire Beicheng was drawn in, most of the shops on this line were wooden structure houses, if it was set on fire on this line, it would not be as simple as burning the timber market, and most of the entire Beicheng might be involved.

It's easy to set fires, but it's hard to put out fires, and if you don't get it right, it will really turn into a city-wide fire, and it's not impossible to burn to the ground, and the consequences will be unpredictable, especially at night.

"Anyway, is this appropriate?" Zhang Yue hesitated, "Once a fire breaks out, if it is a windy night, I am afraid it will be difficult to control." ”

"This is also something that can't be helped, I've been thinking about it, our two armies against the two armies, we have to add the two battalions of the Ya Army to be barely equal, even though we are stronger than them in terms of combat effectiveness, but can we completely annihilate them overnight? The two armies of the navy have 5,000 people and not 5,000 pigs, they will definitely soon find out the problem, the cavalry army is only 1,000 people, and it is in the city, and the streets are in all directions, and it is difficult to completely cut them off, so it must be like this. ”

After a pause, Zhang Ting said again: "There are a lot of fire towers in Shouchun City, and there are also a lot of defense army, I believe they can react quickly and control the fire from spreading,......

Everyone is silent, this kind of words can only be listened to, but the reality is so cruel, if it is reinforced by the water army, the danger is greater, once the assault annihilation is unfavorable, I am afraid that the counterattack of the Shouzhou army will make the Huzhou army in a dilemma.

Seeing that the other people didn't say anything more, Zhang Ting also added this article to the plan.

"Maybe after taking control of Shouzhou, we can give appropriate compensation to the residents who suffered losses that night, but this kind of thing is difficult to hide, and it is unreasonable to explain it with a fire. After a long time, Cui Shangcai said this, and even he felt that his statement was a bit far-fetched.

Yang Kan and Zhang Yue did not respond, this question is very troublesome, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as a fire overnight, after entering the city, there is a bloody battle, there are too many uncontrollable variables in it, and no one can say what the red-eyed soldiers will do.

War is also so bloody and cruel, if you think too much about the enemy's feelings, too merciful and compassionate, this battle will not be able to fight, I have not heard of a war that does not kill people, and the good thing of surrendering soldiers without a fight is too few in history.
