Chapter 63: Military Council of the Governor's Mansion (II)

As for the other sections of the river, there are no conditions for large-scale boat crossings. If you don't carry the special armor, magic weapons, and talismans used in the battle array, it won't be useful if you come over, and it is purely a food delivery.

The best way to rush to the crossing is to cross some monks first, set up a large defensive circle before the other party reacts, and then quickly build a pontoon bridge, quickly transport troops through the pontoon bridge, and then transfer grain and grass after consolidating the crossing point.

The most dangerous thing about crossing the river in this way is that on the first day, once the monks who crossed the river in advance are discovered, they can easily be annihilated in isolation, resulting in heavy losses.

And with the passage of time, after many years of confrontation between the two armies along the White River, this method has become even more difficult to achieve, and the two armies have built a large number of observation posts along the riverbank, and as soon as the flying charm of one post is activated, the large battalion will soon get the news.

Thinking about it, Wu Huawen's last remaining solution may be to use flying magic weapons, but in this way, the number of this strange soldiers will be pitiful. A valuable flying weapon can usually only carry twenty or thirty people, or ten sergeants plus their equipment. In order to transport a thousand people along with food, grass and baggage, he needed ten flying magic weapons to run back and forth more than ten times.

The Louguan faction only has one flying magic weapon, how many can Wu Huawen mobilize? What's more, if there are really so many flying magic weapons coming, the Ming army will smile until their faces bloom, the fourth-order battle array ballista is the nemesis of flying magic weapons, and it is fast and accurate to fight flying magic weapons!

So no matter what you think, everyone thinks that Wu Huawen will send no more than a thousand troops, not even more than eight hundred. And even how these 800 people used to cross the river safely, everyone argued for a long time without arguing about why.

For the time being, he put aside how Wu Huawen crossed the river and began to discuss the range of his troops and the target of his attack.

The generals present were all generals who had come to fight, and according to the scale of troop mobilization and baggage supplies, they immediately pulled out a line on the sand table.

Wu Huawen will definitely not go too deep after crossing the river, the west of this line, the east of the White River, the area between is the range of Wu Huawen's reach, and then want to go deeper to the east, it is a suicidal march, I believe Wu Huawen will not be so stupid.

Within this range, first of all, remove the three easiest to cross the river ferry, namely the Chewa River Valley, Moon Crossing, Anqu Village, these three places have the Ming army camp firmly guarded, light soldiers sneak attack heavy village can be successful examples, since ancient times dare not say that there is no one in a thousand, but at least it is rare to see in a hundred battles, belonging to the collision of great luck.

In addition to these three points, there is only one left, and that is Hongyuan City, the transshipment grain platform of the Song Domain.

After discussing this, everyone looked at Zhao Ran, Zhao Ran smiled and said, "Although the poor Dao is the Taoist walking gate of the Zongsheng Pavilion and the abbot of the White Horse Courtyard, to be honest, he has never experienced a battle formation. However, in the past two years, he has presided over Hongyuan, but he has not delayed the construction of the city wall. Nowadays, Hongyuan has two layers of city walls, one of which is the inner city wall, which we call the inner ring, although it is not high, but it is strong enough, and the most significant effect of this city wall is undoubtedly the convenience of travel, in other words, it has a strong internal line advantage. ”

After a pause, he said: "The outer city wall, which is the outer ring we call in Hongyuan, is one zhang five high, and one zhang to one zhang five thick, although it is still not high, but it is stronger than strong." Ning Shouyu has seen it many times, and he knows better. ”

Ning Deshou nodded and said: "It's more difficult to deal with the army, but it's not a problem at all to withstand the siege of hundreds of people, just be on guard." ”

Xia Ji said: "If Wu Huawen's intention is to break Hongyuan City, then we can arrange it like this." Chishui Qianhu stopped fighting and stationed in the southwest of Hongyuan in various ways to hide people's eyes and ears, and hid on the left wing of Hongyuan City. Abbot Zhao, is there a suitable place for the secret garrison?"

Zhao Ran thought for a while and said, "Geyong Village." "On the sand table, he pointed out the direction of the stockade.

Xia Ji nodded: "Just take this as the left flank! Xiaohe Qianhu is also moving closer to Hongyuan City, and it must be quietly and secretly moved to ......."

Zhao Ran pointed to the sand table and said, "Mengshui Village." ”

Xia Ji looked at the location, nodded and said, "It's Mengshui Village!" You two thousand households, can you do it after you have moved within half a month?"

Zhang and Li replied: "Obey the order!"

Xia Ji said to Commander Cao again: "You draw troops from the main guard, and besiege Wu Huawen under the city at all times, and you must not let it escape!"

After the general military strategy was finished, all the soldiers looked at Yan Yunyi together. Zhao Ran also looked at Yan Yunyi, waiting for his judgment on the strength of this military strategy in terms of monks helping the battle.

Yan Yun is also the second elder in the Huayun Pavilion, he was originally a disciple of the Longyang Patriarch, specializing in the layout of the magic circle and the refining of magic weapons. After the Longyang Patriarch dispersed decades ago, all the disciples under his disciples were dismissed, and Yan Yun was also invited by the Huayun Pavilion Lishan Sect to join this school, which also focused on studying magic circles, and was promoted to a refiner in the Huayun Pavilion and became an elder of the Elder Hall.

Three years ago, he was appointed to take turns on the Song Domain, and became the leader of the Pine Domain's Guard and dozens of rotating town guards in the White River, Hongyuan, and Anqu Imperial Offices. After Pei Zhongze left office at the end of his term, he was also going to return to Huayun Mountain, but he suddenly had such an accident as Western Xia preparing to attack the Baihe defense line, so he could only stay for the time being, and then hand over the mission after dealing with this battle.

Zhao Ran has also been to the Chewa Valley several times in recent years, and when it comes to the monks' rounds of fighting the Song Guard, he still supports it.

Because the Zongsheng Pavilion was newly established and there were few people, the Jade Emperor Pavilion stated that it would not allocate a place for the Zongsheng Pavilion for five years, and it would wait until the sixth year to depend on the specific situation. But Zhao Ran already had some plans, and planned to discuss with his teacher Jiang Tenghe and senior brother Wei Zhizhen, and from the fourth year, that is, next year, he would send people to Song Fanwei to participate in the war.

In his concept, war is an excellent platform for sharpening the Dao Law and Dao Heart, and it will not work behind closed doors, and the monks who will go out of the Zongsheng Pavilion in the future must be able to fight, which is undoubtedly the direction of development.

Let's not mention the matter of the round battle in the Zongsheng Pavilion, just talking about Yan Yun's opinion on the strategy of the Governor of Xia, he did not change this, but said: "This strategy is feasible, I don't know if the Western Xia Emperor Party dares to take the risk and send a monk from the peak of the Luohan Realm to cross the river." It would be great if you could have one or two. ”

The peak of the Arhat Realm is equivalent to the initial level in the Daomen Great Refiner Realm, or the weakened version of the Great Refiner, and it is not easy to eliminate a Buddhist monk at the peak of the Arhat Realm without knowing it. But since he knew that Western Xia was about to launch a surprise sneak attack, and he had a rough judgment on the direction and purpose of the march, it was feasible to take the opportunity to leave one.

This is what Yan Yunyi wants to see the most.
