Chapter 225: The plan is finalized, and the surprise attack clears the source
"Let go of the main force of the breakout, leaving all the palace army and the Tanglin army?" Ding Honghua shook the letter, confirmed that it was this piece of paper in the letter, and then looked down at the letter again, "Put it all over?" ”
"I think what Lord Li Feiqiu means may be that he wants us to preserve our strength and not pursue the results too much, so that the losses are too great, and the gains outweigh the losses." Si Qianhan rubbed his chin and said.
"If that's the case, then, does he want to use the previous strategy again, occupy the entire territory of Tanglin in the spring, take advantage of the warmer weather in summer, the snow on the mountain peaks melts, bypass the Qingling Pass, and take the mountain road straight into Qingyuan Mansion." Ding Honghua turned to look at the map, which marked a mountain peak, which was called Yanmen Mountain.
Yanmen Mountain is very low, and together with the surrounding peaks, it forms an inverted gate. And because the terrain is relatively low, in late autumn, when the geese migrate south, they will fly through here, so this place is named Yanmen Mountain. However, it is easy for geese to pass over, and it is obviously a little difficult for manpower to turn over.
According to their previous assumptions, this place can only wait for the snow on the top of the mountain to melt in the summer before the army has a chance to cross it, and this place usually has a small part of the Qingyuan army stationed, and only when they are short of manpower, there will be a vacancy here. Since Li Feiqiu said that he must leave the 18,000 Donglin troops and his servants, it means that he should want to make a fuss on this Yanmen Mountain.
"Go to Yanmen Mountain......" Hongwuying hesitated, because it was indeed too dangerous to go to this place, as long as there were people stationed here, and the news was passed over in time, as soon as Qingyuan's reinforcements arrived, they could only retreat, but on the high mountains, once they retreated, it was easy to be confused, and these people basically didn't want to come back at that time.
If it had been before, they would still agree to this plan, for example, when they handed over Jiuping Pass to Donglin, that plan was even more terrifying than this plan, but they still agreed, because they didn't have many things, even if they lost the bet, their loss was not big, but now, Jiuping has completely swallowed Qizhou, and is about to take Tanglin, and has become the two major forces of Tianhai that can compete with the great prince, and the unification of Tianhai is in front of them.
At this time, if this plan fails, the momentum of their northward march will be interrupted, and then they can only recuperate, but whether they can consume the opposite side is another matter, because the terrain of Tanglin is really difficult to explain, whether it is the eldest prince or Qingyuan, as long as they want to fight, this place of Tanglin can only be beaten. So these people really don't want to gamble, they have too many things in their hands and can't afford to lose.
"Huh~~~" Ding Honghua didn't want to gamble, because he really couldn't afford to lose, if all these people in Qingyuan were blocked in Dongling, although the losses were huge, but it was indeed quite stable, even if Li Xu led people to break through in the end, they could also take advantage of the situation to storm Qingling Pass, as long as the pass was broken, the basin terrain of Qingyuan was a huge hunting ground, and Qingyuan's rout army could not organize any resistance at all.
"Otherwise, let His Highness decide." Pu Zhengyang said, "If we go according to the plan, we will certainly suffer great losses, but the results will be very stable, and there will be no problems in the arrangement and deployment of our army." If we follow Master Li's plan, our losses will be very small, and it will be easier to fight the big prince later, but this plan is very risky. High risk and high reward, there is no good or bad. ”
Ding Honghua leaned her head back to the chair, her eyes were slightly closed, and she kept rubbing a jade ring in her hand, and after a while, she finally opened her eyes, "Come to vote, if you agree to block the whole line and forcibly break through, please raise your hand." ”
Hong Wuying, Pu Zhengyang, Wen Baiteng, and Si Qianhan raised their hands. Li Feiqiu is the proposer, Ding Honghua is the host, Gong Chengfeng and Zhuang Yanxin are outside, and Geng Guiliu is the only one left on the field who does not support this plan.
"The four of them chose to forcibly break through the level and return to the stream, and Li Feiqiu and I chose to go over the mountain and attack. Now it's four to three, let's take a look at the choice of Gongchengfeng and Zhuang Yanxin. Ding Honghua said, "Let the messenger hurry overnight, hurry up and ask the opinions of the two of them, and tell them that if they choose to attack by surprise, let go of the breakthrough troops in front, and if they choose to break through by force, they will nail me to the northern defense line, waiting for us to take these three cities, and then join them, that's it, hurry." The messenger took the letter, hurried out of the camp, and headed north, where the camp fell silent again.
"Anyway, I've already gambled so many times, so it doesn't matter if I bet a little bigger." Ding Honghua said, she didn't ask Shen Huaiyu, because she knew that Shen Huaiyu would definitely choose Li Feiqiu's plan, there was no doubt, after all, the Moon Fairy was patting her chest at the time, Shen Huaiyu of course absolutely agreed with Li Feiqiu's plan, just like giving Qizhou to Shen Xiaoxiao, as soon as Li Feiqiu spoke, although she didn't want to agree, she still asked Shen Xiaoxiao to collect signatures instead of refusing on the spot, in fact, it was for Li Feiqiu's face that this compromise plan was adopted, If she insisted on giving Qizhou to her when Shen Xiaoxiao was with her, Shen Xiaoxiao would have no choice at all.
Even the commander said so, and the generals had nothing else to say, so they could only do it, as long as Gong Chengfeng and Zhuang Yanxin expressed their attitude, they would definitely be able to get a result, so that the minority in the council would obey the majority, and the plan would be officially implemented.
"No matter which plan is implemented, our first task is to take down the army of the Royal Highness, and these 18,000 people will not hold the city at this time. If we bypass them and directly pursue the enemy's main force, their palace will become a joke, so they will definitely find a way to go out of the city to cover the main force, and our deployment will have to be rearranged. Ding Honghua sat up straight, "Come, count the ratio of troops in your hands, and let's discuss how to arrange the battle plan." ”
……
"Vote?" Gong Chengfeng never expected that a vote would come at this time.
"I'm on Lord Li Feiqiu's side." Zhuang Yanxin expressed his position at that time.
"General, I haven't said which one is Lord Li's plan......"
"Needless to say?" Zhuang Yanxin narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "This familiar circumambulation, this kind and dangerous move, and this, using General Gong to lead troops to fly over Yanmen Mountain, surprise attack Qingyuan Mansion, and put back the 24,000 people who broke through the attack, do you want them to fight with the eldest prince...... Heh, anyone can tell who designed this plan, right? As for forcibly breaking through, there are too many dead people, and Master Li Feiqiu will not design such a plan with so many dead people. ”
"I have to say, although this plan is very simple and crude, but if it is an enemy, it is really difficult to break the move." A lieutenant on the side touched his chin and said.
"Why is it not broken, as long as some troops are arranged in Yanmen Mountain, it's just that there are 18,000 fewer people on the Tanglin battlefield, and the eldest prince still has some troops, and even the troops guarding Qingling Pass are tight, let alone here? This plan is to bully Qingyuan, who is not capable of arranging guards in this place for the time being. Zhuang Yanxin said, "One ring after another, but if there is one ring missing, the plan to cross Yanmen Mountain will not succeed." ”
"What about General Gong, it's four to four now, and General Gong's opinion is the final result." The messenger waited for a reply, and then looked at the wind.
"Yes, Lord Gong, your decision is the final decision, surround the whole line and forcibly break through, or let the tiger return to the mountain and attack Qingyuan by surprise?" Zhuang Yanxin asked with a smile.
"You've read it all, and you came over and asked me what I was doing?" Gong Chengfeng rolled his eyes, turned around and went back to the tent, "Don't mess with your crystal soul next time, do you want to screw your head off." ”
"Okay, let's choose a surprise attack, let's go back and report, when the time comes, we will let go of an opening, and weaken the opponent's strength as much as possible while ensuring our own casualty rate." Zhuang Yanxin patted the messenger's shoulder, "Be careful on the road, try to go back from Qizhou, when you come, Qingyuan is in the city, when you go back, they may have already started to rush here, don't be caught." ”
