When he didn't start fighting Tianma County, Lin Haotian didn't think that Tianma County was so difficult to fight, but now through the detailed information sent back by his own spies, he realized that the Red Army had so many troops in Tianma County, maybe more than double, twice or even more than the Fourth Legion, this battle was much more difficult to fight than he imagined, no wonder Chu Lianyu had judged a few days ago that he was going to mobilize the Sixth Legion, and he was too light on the enemy.

Lin Haotian is now beginning to regret that he shouldn't have promised Chu Lianyu so simply, however, Lin Haotian didn't think that Tianma County would definitely not be able to defeat it with the strength of the Fourth Legion alone, and it was true that he needed to spend some more brains.

After figuring out the strength and distribution of Tianma County, Lin Haotian no longer delayed time, and ordered the whole army, and two days later, the whole army went south, entered Tianma County, and defended Jin'an City in the north of Tianma County.

Jin'an is the second largest city in Tianma County, and it is also the northern gateway of Tianma County, if the Jin army wants to enter Tianma County, it must first defeat Jin'an, otherwise logistics supply is a big problem.

According to the information sent back by his own spies before, Jin'an's strength is about 20,000, but one of the four major military camps of the Red Army is located near Jin'an.

Before the army started, Lin Haotian specially convened the generals to discuss how to fight the battle of Jin'an.

When all the generals arrived, Lin Haotian cleared his throat and said first: "It should be clear now that the next target of our army is Tianma County, and if you want to attack Tianma County, you must first attack Jin'an." ”

After a pause, he said again: "The Battle of Jin'an is the first battle of our army into Tianma County. As the saying goes, the first to win, the battle to win! In this battle, our army must not only win. And it was a beautiful victory, which minimized the losses of our army. Let's talk about the tactics that will be used in this battle. ”

Gu Liangyun took the lead and said: "My lord, it is not difficult to fight Jin'an, it is difficult to fight the Red Army camp near Jin'an, and now our side knows very little about the situation in the Red Camp. It is only known that it is a camp for training recruits, but as for how many Red defenders are in it, how many recruits there are, and how many of them have formed combat effectiveness, nothing is known. ”

Shao Lin continued: "That's right! Once our army attacks Jin'an, the Red Battalion will never sit idly by, and if it is not clear about the specific combat strength of the Red Army in the battalion, it will be very unfavorable to the deployment of our army. ”

That's a problem! The crowd frowned and fell silent.

Then. Zhang Hui smiled, looked at Zhang Cheng and Gu Liangyun, and said, "The two generals don't have to worry too much, as long as our army is properly arranged, it doesn't matter if you don't know the strength of the Red Camp." ”

Hearing this, Gu Liangyun and Shao Lin raised their eyebrows in unison, and the others also looked at Zhang Hui in confusion, not understanding why he said that.

Zhang Hui said: "How many soldiers can be fought in the red camp. In fact, I can guess a rough idea, according to my judgment. It shouldn't be more than the defenders of Jin'an. ”

Without waiting for others to ask, Zhang Hui continued to explain: "This is very understandable, if there is really a large number of troops hoarded in the red camp, then when our army attacked Anqiu, the Red Army of Tianma County would have already sent reinforcements, instead of watching Anqiu fall. The reason why the Red Army did not go north to help. It shows that they are not sure of victory, our army is less than 100,000 people, and it is fighting in a different place, under such an unfavorable situation, the Red Army of Tianma County does not dare to go north to fight. It shows that they can only protect themselves at best, or they don't even have the strength to protect themselves, and their troops will never be too strong. ”

Everyone nodded their heads while listening, and secretly raised their thumbs, Zhang Hui was really smart, quick-witted, and his inference was reasonable.

Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, stroked his palms and said, "Go on, how can our army break the enemy?"

Zhang Hui said: "My lord, our army can be divided into two routes, all the way to attack Jin'an, all the way to set up an ambush between Jin'an and Chiying, if the Jin'an defenders withdraw, the ambush can be intercepted and killed, and if the Red Army of Chiying is reinforced, the ambush can be stopped and killed." ”

After listening to Zhang Hui's tactics, Gu Liangyun asked: "Although Lord Zhang's tactics are good, it is not so easy to do, it is too difficult to quietly ambush troops between Jin'an and Chiying under the nose of the red people, which not only has to avoid Jin'an's eyeline, but also avoid the eyeliner of the surrounding villages and towns of Jin'an." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Hui nodded and said: "The next is the general at the end of the article, not the general, and the proposal can only be a general tactic, as for how to implement it, it depends on the generals to brainstorm and come up with ways to overcome difficulties." The implication is that he has already indicated which direction the road should take, and as for how to go, it depends on the generals of the Jin Army.

Lin Haotian listened carefully, pondered for a long time, and then said to Shao Lin: "Take the map of Tianma County." ”

Shao Lin agreed, quickly brought the map, and spread it on the table in front of Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian lowered his head to take a closer look, and the generals on the side also looked down.

There is a town on the left and right of Jin'an, which are two towns in the east of Jin and west of Jin, if the Jin army wants to bypass Jin'an, then it is necessary to pass through the east or west of Jin, there is no other way, but these two towns are stationed with more than 1,000 troops, and there is a beacon tower inside, even if the Jin army can beat the two towns with lightning speed, it is difficult to ensure that the beacon tower is not ignited, as long as the beacon is on fire, their own movements will be exposed.

Secretly saying a trouble, Lin Haotian looked up at Shao Lin and asked, "How many residents are there in the two towns of Jindong and Jinxi?"

Shao Lin replied: "There are more than 800 households, and at least more than 5,000. ”

With more than 5,000 civilians and nearly 1,000 defenders, even if you have more troops, it is impossible to clear them all in an instant, as long as one of them is not controlled by your own side in time, it is possible to make the beacon catch fire. It seems that the open attack will definitely not work, and you can only sneak attack secretly.

Thinking of this, Lin Haotian looked at Shao Lin again and asked, "How many people are available to you now?"

Shao Lin arched his hand and said, "Lord Huiyu, there are thirteen people. ”

"Okay!" Lin Haotian nodded, didn't ask any more, then looked around at the generals and said: "The battle of Jin'an, just follow Zhang Hui's strategy, and the soldiers are divided into two routes, all the way to take Jin'an, and all the way to ambush between Jin'an and Chiying. ”

"My lord, how can our army bypass Jin'an?"

"Take the route of Jindong. Lin Haotian beckoned to the generals and motioned for everyone to come forward and speak.

People got up one after another and gathered in front of Lin Haotian. The latter pointed to the map and said: "The town of Jinxi is surrounded by a plain area of Pingchuan, as long as our army gets a little closer, it will be detected by the enemy, and there is a jungle to the east of Jindong, which is suitable for covert approach. ”

"But my lord......" Gu Liangyun said with a sad face: "This forest is not big, it is difficult to hide thousands of people, how can we hide tens of thousands of our army?"

"It's enough. Lin Haotian said with a smile: "There is no need for a large army to sneak attack a town in Jindong, it is enough for me and some demon martial artists to do it!"

Everyone was secretly taken aback and said in surprise: "Your Excellency is going to attack Jindong Town in person?"

"That's right!" Lin Haotian said: "I have carefully considered that when the army goes, no matter how fast it is fought and how quickly it is decided, it is impossible to guarantee that the Red People will not be able to light the beacon, the best way is to sneak in quietly and suppress the enemy leader first, and then things will be easy to do." ”

"......"

Seeing that everyone was still going to speak, Lin Haotian continued: "In a mere town, you don't have to worry about me, not to mention that I didn't go alone, and there are brothers from the demon system to help me." ”

Having said that, everyone still felt that it was not appropriate for the adults to take the risk personally, but Lin Haotian spoke in a resolute tone, and he had already made up his mind, and everyone couldn't do anything about him.

After a pause, Lin Haotian glanced at the generals on the left and right, his face was straight, and he said in a deep voice: "When our army arrives at the junction of Anqiu and Tianma County, I will first take a hundred demon brothers to leave the camp and go to Jindong Town for a sneak attack, the time is two days, two days later, regardless of success or not, Guan He and Tonglei will lead 30,000 soldiers to bypass Jin'an from Jindong Town, and set up an ambush between Jin'an and Chiying. ”

"The last general will obey!" Guan He and Tong Lei glanced at each other, and invariably took a step forward, intervened in the salute, and received the order with a loud voice.

Subsequently, Lin Haotian said again: "After Guan He and Tonglei are ambushed, immediately send back General Gu, and Liang Yun will lead the main army to attack the city immediately!"

"Yes, my lord!" Gu Liangyun intervened.

Lin Haotian's troops were arranged quickly, without any pause, and he gave the order in one breath.

All the pre-war preparations have been completed, and even the officials sent by the Jin State to take over Anqiu County have arrived in Shangwan, Lin Haotian no longer delayed time, waved his army south, and marched towards Tianma County. (To be continued......)
