Chapter 856: Han River
The Han River has the North Han River and the South Han River.
The Namhan River originates in the eastern mountainous area and flows northwest into the sea.
Lee Kim Joo's forces are located south of the Namhan River.
Seoul is on the south bank of the Namhan River. For Li Jinzhu's small court in exile, defending the Han River is equivalent to guarding half of the country, otherwise, the country is ruined.
There is no way back.
Wu Nian's army walked steadily, starting on the eighth day of the first month, and on February 11, they all arrived at the edge of the Han River.
Wu Nian, Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng were the last to arrive, and the front had already built a large camp for them. After Wu Nian entered the camp, he immediately summoned the captains to meet him in the big tent of the Chinese army.
There are two armies, nine thousand households, and more than 100,000 soldiers.
Before the captains arrived, Wu Nian prepared a topographic map. Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunzhong deployed defenses along the river, and the spies had already heard clearly what was the key defense and what was the secondary defense.
The total number of their troops, Wu Nian is not clear. But it will not be less than 100,000. Moreover, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers followed Li Jinzhu to the south.
Combat effectiveness aside, loyalty is very high.
After everyone arrived, Wu Nian looked up. His eyes fell on Li Tianbao and Matsudaira Yixin, and he asked with a smile, "Two." You have gone from the navy to the inland waters. Are you still accustomed to it with your soldiers? ”
Matsudaira glanced at Li Tianbao intently and did not speak.
Li Tianbao replied with a smile: "The general underestimated us. Compared to the rough sea, the river is just a small quagmire. We and our soldiers can maneuver river warships with ease. ”
"But also relatively. The wind and waves of this inland river are too small to be enjoyable. We still want to go back to the sea and fight the Fuso. ”
"Hahahaha." Wu Nian laughed out loud when he heard this, good, good. Listening to these words lifted my spirit. While he was satisfied, he also smiled and said, "Don't worry." When Li Jinzhu is swept away, I will let you go back to the sea. Together with my newly formed two naval Wanhu, we fought against the Fuso people. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Nianhu's eyes flashed, and he said categorically: "The Fusang people can't lock me anymore." ”
"Yes." Li Tianbao and Matsudaira should be loud and loud.
Li Tianbao was very happy.
Matsudaira was excited, and secretly said in his heart: "When the general pacifies Goguryeo, he will send troops to Huanglong Mansion." The restoration of the Ryukyus is not far away. ”
Wu Nian talked about sex, and he couldn't stop the car for a while. Said with a smile: "Speaking of blockades. The Goguryeo and Fusang bandaned together to blockade my maritime trade. It's good now. I annexed Goguryeo. Isn't the maritime trade between the Goguryeo region and the Liaodong region a trade between the two countries? ”
"If it goes on like this, the officials of the city department will probably have to worry about their jobs."
The lieutenants who heard this were stunned for a moment, and then they were very amused, and they also laughed.
If you don't do business with us, if you don't make us feel better, you will be wiped out.
After laughing, Wu Nian finally stopped the car. With a serious look on his face, he said, "Okay." Now let's talk about the enlistment. ”
"Where are we going to cross the river from?"
Wu Nian's eyes fell on Li Tianbao, Matsudaira Yixin, Liu Tianfang, Qian Botao and others.
There are not many places on the Han River that can cross the river on a large scale, but there are many of them. The four men had been confronting Lee Kim Joo on the Han River for months, and they were all experts in water warfare.
Wu Nian didn't feel that he was more professional than them.
The other three didn't speak, and it was still Li Tianbao who clasped his fists and saluted: "Return to the general." According to our research. Cangyuan, Lanxi, and Enting are three places that are very suitable for crossing the river. However, Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng have Tunzha Shui and Lu Chongbing in these three places. ”
Immediately, Li Tianbao's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "We think we should attack the east and the west." Of these three ferries, the water in Cangyuan is the most gentle, and it is most suitable for large-scale troops to cross the river. On the contrary, Lanxi is in the worst condition. We can pretend to gather heavy troops to cross the river in Cangyuan, and then smuggle across Lanxi. ”
The army lieutenant knew almost nothing about water warfare, but the strategy and tactics were still the same.
Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Tie Niu still followed Wu Nian to fight guerrilla warfare.
When the weak and have no troops, they will fight and fight with the small.
Now the two sides are ostensibly evenly matched, and of course they use tactics to mobilize the enemy's forces and attack them separately.
Give the dummy.
They're good at it.
"General. I think Captain Lee's strategy is very good and he can act according to the plan. After thinking about it, Long Ji raised his fist and said to Wu Nian.
None of the other lieutenants spoke, but they all nodded slightly.
Wu Nian reached out and pinched his chin and groaned.
Seeing this, the captains all lowered their heads slightly, not daring to disturb Wu Nian.
It is their job to provide ideas for warfare, and it is the job of the king to adopt or not to adopt them.
Wu Nian thought about it for a long time, considered it from all aspects, and weighed the pros and cons. He looked up and said to the captains: "When marching and fighting, you must not only consider the terrain, the opponent's strength, but also the enemy's main general. ”
"Although on the surface now, the two sides are evenly matched. But we all know that. Once I crossed the river, Li Jinzhu lost. ”
"As a weak side, you may surprise yourself."
"Especially the snow unicorn Zhao Mancheng, he is very courageous."
"And he should know us well. Know that we are masters of sounding and attacking. If we feint to attack Cangyuan, we will secretly cross Lanxi. Did he guess it? ”
"He took a gamble. Gather heavy troops in Lanxi or Enting, and prepare to come and wait for the rabbit to give us a head-on blow? ”
"Li Jinzhu should be very clear up and down. Fighting for national strength and military strength, they will not be able to defeat us. Only the sword went sideways and fought hard. ”
After listening to Wu Nian's analysis, the captains all fell into deep thought.
If you think about it, it's really the same thing.
If you put them in Zhao Mancheng's position, wouldn't it be stupid to know that Wu Nian was a master of attacking the west, and still be led by the nose?
Just do the opposite and gamble.
"What does the general mean?" Li Tianbao raised his head and asked with a fist.
"We claim to cross the river at Cangyuan and gather heavy troops. Then a large-scale camp was also built in Enting and Lanxi. Three large camps, maintaining the same number of earthen stoves every day, and raising the same amount of cooking smoke. ”
"They don't know where we're going to cross."
"As for how Zhao Mancheng deploys, that's his business. It is possible that he will gather heavy troops in Cangyuan. Or maybe it's my ploy to hit the ground running. Assemble heavy forces at Lanxi or Enting. ”
"No matter what he does. This time we all have to cross the river. Captains. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Nian looked at the captains, took a deep breath and stood up, his momentum was sharp, and said, "I want to capture Li Jinzhu alive and beat Goguryeo with his last breath." ”
"Avenge with one arrow."
"Prepare for battle."
"Yes."
The captains' eyes were bright, their spirits were extremely high, and they stood up and clenched their fists and said, "Yes." ”
