Chapter 241
Zong Yuan said slowly: "The two armies are fighting against each other, killing the enemy is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top! If you want to completely annihilate the 400,000 Ning army at the smallest cost, you must first make the army's morale turbulent. ”
Xiao Muqing waved his hand impatiently, this kind of thing would be said by anyone who has read the war book and war strategy, how can he explain it. But before he could speak, Zong Yuan continued: "If you want to make Ning Junjun's heart turbulent, it's very simple, just cut off his retreat. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Muqing, and seeing that the latter was interested, he said: "If the Tianyuan Army sends another surprise army while fighting head-on with the Ning Army, it will not take the official road, but only take the mountain road, quietly bypass Yancheng, sneak attack Tongmen, surprise and attack it unprepared, and it will definitely be successful in one blow." Once Tongmen is defeated, these 400,000 Ning troops will be isolated in the wind and land, unable to advance, unable to retreat, and will be in chaos if they do not attack!"
"Ah......" After listening to Zong Yuan's words, Xiao Muqing gasped and attacked Tongmen, this strategy is fresh and bold enough, but it is also a surprise plan. At this time, he had to look at Zong Yuan with admiration, feeling that this person was not just a person who talked about it.
Xiao Muqing admired Zong Yuan's strategy very much, so when he left Huaiyang, he also took Zong Yuan, who took the initiative to vote, with him. If this person is really a talent, and he can be reused by Tang Yin, he can be regarded as a great achievement.
After successfully taking Huaiyang, the Plains Army turned back to the original route and went to join the main force of Tang Yinwei's Tianyuan Army.
At this time, the Ning army had already entered the territory of Jinhua City and confronted the Tianyuan army of more than 300,000.
In terms of overall military strength, the strength of the two sides is comparable, and the combat strength is also about the same, and there is no obvious disparity, so such a close battle is undoubtedly the most difficult for both sides.
Now it is necessary to start a needle-to-needle battle with the Ning army on the plain, and the atmosphere in the camp of the Tianyuan army is also very tense, the soldiers come and go in a hurry, busy, and the reports of the Tianyan and the earth net continue to transmit the situation of the Ning army back to their own camp like a marquee.
Tang Yin was not idle, and discussed with the generals under his command all day and night about the enemy's strategy.
Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and other strategists all thought that there should be no war now, after all, the Plains Army, which had the strongest combat power on their side, was on the way back, and they should wait for the Plains Army to return before confronting the Ning Army. However, they wanted to wait, but the Ning army was unwilling to wait, since entering the territory of Jinhua City, the Ning army was arrogant, repeatedly provoked, and asked the Tianyuan army to come out of the camp to meet the battle.
Shangguan Yuanrang had fought with the Ning army, and he also knew that the Ning army was half a catty and eight taels, and he was provoked by the Ning army, so he was the first to sit still, and asked Tang Yin to give him a horse and go out of the camp to fight against the Ning army. Tang Yin was worried, when he was defending Jinhua City, there were city walls to rely on, and it would not be a problem to have fewer enemies, but now he was fighting on flat ground, and there was no danger to rely on, and it was not so simple to resist a large number of Ning troops with a small number of troops.
Tang Yin finally did not agree to Shangguan Yuanrang's request for battle, and ordered the whole army to strictly guard the camp and not to fight.
In this way, the Ning army thought that the Tianyuan army was cowardly, more arrogant, and more diligent in cursing the enemy.
But Tang Yin was determined to wait for the return of the Plains Army and close the door without fighting, and the Ning Army finally couldn't help it, launched a tentative attack, and took the initiative to attack the camp of the Tianyuan Army.
The camp of the Tianyuan Army is very strong, and there are more than 300,000 troops guarding it, how can it be so easy to break through? The Ning Army just sent the front army to test it, and when they saw that the counterattack of the Tianyuan Army was very strong, they hastily withdrew, and then continued to call for battle every day, hoping to lure the Tianyuan Army out of the camp and fight again.
Three days later, the Plains Army led by Xiao Muqing returned to the Tianyuan Army camp. With the return of the Plains Army, the Tianyuan Army really began to specify a detailed strategy for fighting the enemy.
Inside the tent of the Chinese army.
The generals of the Tianyuan Army and the generals of the Besa reinforcements gathered together, and the large Chinese army tent was already a little narrow at this time. Tang Yin asked people to place a sand table in the center of the tent, and asked people to prepare small flags in black and white to insert in the sand table as a simulation of the battle between the two sides.
Tang Yin looked around at the generals present and asked, "Who has a good strategy for fighting against the Ning army, tell me!"
Looking at the people on the left and right, Qiu Zhen took a step forward, walked to the sand table, and said: "I think that the Plains Army is the strongest army in our army, and it should be the main force in the battle, and it should be used for head-to-head confrontation with the enemy, the Sanshui Army and the Chifeng Army are the left and right wings, and the Lord is the commander of the directly subordinate army as the rear army to suppress the formation! After the battle, the Plains Army will advance from the center, and the Sanshui Army and the Chifeng Army on both wings will attack both sides of the Ning Army. ”
"En!" Tang Yin nodded again and again when he heard this, feeling that Qiu Zhen's strategy was feasible.
At this time, Xiao Muqing added: "It's no problem for the Plains Army to be the main force of the Chinese army, but it is best to insert the Besa cavalry into our army's phalanx, and when fighting with the Ning army, our army can use the Besa cavalry as the vanguard army to disrupt the enemy's phalanx, so that the next battle will be much easier." ”
"Reasonable!" Tang Yin raised his eyes to look at Shauna and Blanca, asking what they meant. Besa's translators had translated Xiao Muqing's words into Morphism for the first time, and after listening, Blanca had no opinion and nodded in response: "That's no problem." ”
The most powerful of the Ning army is the arrow array, and the most powerful heavy armored cavalry is defense, led by the Besa cavalry, which can be said to be a positive victory against the enemy.
Tang Yin looked up and smiled, in his opinion, the chances of his own side winning in such a battle method were already six or seven.
At this time, someone stood next to the sand table, picked up a black flag, put it in the center of the white flag, and said: "If our army can use a light cavalry again, when the two armies are fighting, quickly attack the central army of the Ning army, and insert it into the central point of the Ning army, this will lead to chaos in the enemy's Chinese army, so that the Ning army will not be able to take care of each other before and after, and the battle of our army will be smoother." ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, everyone present was shocked, and they all turned their heads to look at the person who spoke.
This man is less than thirty, five short in length, his appearance is not good, and he is slightly blessed, but the two small eyes are shining, giving people a sense of wisdom. Everyone was stunned, they didn't know who this person was, and they didn't know how he got into the Chinese military tent. Tang Yin hadn't seen him either, and asked, "This is ......?"
Xiao Muqing hurriedly replied: "My lord, this is Lord Zongyuanzong, the reason why our army was able to take Huaiyang without blood this time is also thanks to Lord Zong's advice to Lord Junyu, and Lord Zong intends to take refuge in the adult, so I brought him here, but I forgot to introduce him to the adult just now, and I hope the adult will forgive me!"
"Oh!" Tang Yin nodded, it could be seen that this Zong Yuan was also a strategist, although there were already a lot of strategists under his command now, but the more talents, the better, since people came to defect, there was no reason for him to push out. He nodded at Zong Yuan with a smile and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Zong Yuan, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
"Ah! Your Excellency is polite!" Seeing that Tang Yin was very polite to him, Zong Yuan hurriedly returned the salute.
"Just now, Mr. Zong Yuan said that he would use a light cavalry to attack the Chinese army of the Ning army?"
"Yes, sir. If this light cavalry can be led by General Yuan Rang, it can stir up chaos in the Ningren Chinese army, the Chinese army is fundamental, the Chinese army is in chaos, the whole army is in chaos, and then our army will act in accordance with the tactics of the previous two adults, and it will definitely be able to defeat the Ning army!"
Don't look at Zong Yuan is Yu Tao's subordinate, but he also knows the situation of the Tianyuan Army very well, at least he knows that there is a Shangguan Yuanrang among them, which is very good.
After listening to his words, Shangguan Yuanrang couldn't help laughing, his face was full of pride, he arched his hand at Tang Yin, and said: "My lord, leave the task of raiding the enemy's Chinese army to me! If there is a chance, I will directly take off the head of Zhan Wushuang." ”
Tang Yin really has a light cavalry under his command, and it is also a light cavalry that is extremely fast, and its horses are all excellent war horses of the Mo country, in the past, he often used this cavalry to sneak attack the town of Besa, which caused the latter a headache, and now Besa has become an ally, this light cavalry has not been used.
He lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then turned his head and asked Qiu Zhendao: "How many war horses do we still have in our army?"
Qiu Zhense replied: "There are more than 10,000 horses!"
Tang Yin's eyes rolled, he looked at the sand table again, and said: "Yuan Rang, when the battle comes, you lead 5,000 light cavalry to raid the Chinese army of the Ning army from south to north, and I lead another 5,000 light cavalry to raid the Chinese army of the Ning army from north to south.
As long as there is a battle to be fought, and it is an important battle, Shangguan Yuan will have any opinions, after listening, he arched his hand and said: "Just do what the adults want!"
He had no opinion, but everyone else did.
Qiu Zhen grinned and said, "My lord is going to fight in person again......"
Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know you are not at ease, this time I will fight as a clone." ”
Hearing him say this, the people put their hearts down. Cheng Jin hurriedly approached and said, "In this case, we have used our clone to go with the adults!"
Tang Yin had no objection, nodded, and said, "Okay! General Cheng, you arrange some brothers with dark arrows to fight with me!"
"Yes, sir!"
After the battle plan was decided, Tang Yin and his generals all breathed a sigh of relief, they were nervous and excited, worried and looking forward to tomorrow's battle, and people understood that in the future, whether their side would have an advantage or disadvantage over the Ning army, the key would depend on the outcome of tomorrow's battle.
After the meeting, the generals returned to the camp to rest, recuperate mentally and physically for tomorrow's big battle. Tang Yin himself walked out of the camp tent, accompanied by several guards, and walked slowly in the camp.
He pondered his thoughts as he walked, and I don't know how long it took, but when he came back to his senses, he raised his eyes and looked ahead, and in front of him was a large tent in the shape of a dirt bag, which looked out of place compared to other military tents, and he asked the guard beside him, "Whose tent is this?"
One of the guards hurriedly replied, "My lord, this ...... It was supposed to be Princess Besa's tent. ”
Tang Yin answered softly and walked over. Regardless of his impression of Shauna, people had come all the way to reinforce him, and he should always come to visit.
