Chapter 1125 is Tough

Besides, after Chang Yu and Jin Shenghuan separated in the nameless lake, dozens of horsemen ignored the mud and traveled south for nearly twenty miles at night, and it rained misty and drizzle, and the situation was tenacious to report that the front was only a few miles away from the city, Chang Yu rode around the city and saw that although this was a small city within a radius of a few miles, it was not even as tall as some county seats, and there was no danger to defend around it, so it was difficult to parry if the thief army came to attack.

The lights on the city burst out, and it was obvious that Chang Yu and his entourage were extremely nervous when they found out in the city, and they shouted: "We are Nanjing reinforcements, open the door quickly!" "The city was unmoved, but released more than ten arrows and almost injured people, it seems that they deceived Chang Yu and his party as thieves.

Chang Yu was not angry but happy, so it seems that the officials in the city still have some backbone.

When Tu is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the west, there are hills a few miles away in the east, Chang Yu and his party are slightly tired overnight, and the rain is added to call the door, so you should not only find a forest to shelter from the rain and make a fire, the generals hastily built a simple grass shed to avoid it, fortunately, the rain is not strong.

Chang Yu didn't feel sleepy at all, he held a wooden stick in his hand and pulled it on the ground, drawing out the terrain around Dangtu in his mind one by one, and then let out a long sigh, Li Muxian observed his words: "My lord, didn't he originally plan to stop the thief army here?" ”

Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Bai Wangbu is the elite of the thief army with rich combat experience, and it won't take tomorrow to know that there are soldiers and horses coming over in Nanjing, and they will inevitably send troops north to intercept it, and it will inevitably encounter it in Dangtu, but there is no danger to defend here, if our own soldiers and horses are here, we can let go of it, but now...... Hehe, how many rounds do you think Nanjing's soldiers and horses can withstand? ”。

Li Muxian looked at the ground and said in a daze: "In addition to the river beach is a wilderness, a horse and a flat river are the most suitable for cavalry combat, but we don't have many cavalry, and the combat power is unknown...... The odds of winning are not great" said and stroked his beard slightly: "Since this is the case, then use some means" said and pointed with his toes to the Guxi River a few miles south of Tucheng: "By taking advantage of the topography of the riverbank to balance with foot soldiers, the cavalry of the thief army will not be able to give full play to its advantage."

Chang Yu snorted: "But the thief army has always used cannon fodder to open the way in wars, and this time will not be an exception, Wang Zamao will still use cannon fodder to consume us, once he crosses the river, he will still be ...... after all" Before he finished speaking, Li Muxian interrupted him: "If the thief army crosses the river, we can retreat to the city even if we are defeated, and I don't believe that the adults will really work with the thief army so openly" said and nodded on his toes to the southwest of Dangtu.

"I know I can't hide it from you" Chang Yu smiled, when there is a big river called Guxi River that flows into the Yangtze River in the west of Tuxi, and a few miles to the east, there is a southwesterly Qingshan River that joins, and in the middle of the confluence of the two rivers, there is a big mountain, and the mountain name is Daqingshan.

"This mountain is more than ten miles southwest of Dangtu, and it is far away from the marching route in the middle of the two rivers, and once a battle starts, it can outflank the back road of the thief army from the rear flank! Once the back road is cut off, the thief army will be chaotic! Chang Yu smiled slightly, and Li Muxian stroked his beard and chuckled: "And this time the thief army must not have many troops, so we will win."

"Why did the Dao Leader conclude that the thief army did not have many troops?" Chen Wangting interjected next to him and asked, Li Muxian smiled faintly: "Because the attention of the thief army is on the other side of the Yangtze River, they will think that the soldiers and horses coming from Nanjing are just a bluff, or just disturbing the audio-visual to cover for the officers and soldiers on the other side to cross the river, my lord, is what Poor Dao said right?" ”。

"It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, the important thing is that the governor wants to see if the soldiers and horses in Nanjing are vulnerable." Chang Yu seemed to be smiling, and Li Muxian was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "The co-author is just sharpening the knife?" ”

"Or else?" Chang Yu snorted: "As soon as they come up, let them fill the pit, if this is the case, I am afraid that these 20,000 people will be folded in half in Wuhu, and they are still expected to fight all the way to Anqing?" Li Muxian shook his head with a wry smile: "Don't talk about Anqing, it is estimated that it can hold up to Tongling is the limit, the thief army went down the river and almost went down the city without blood, but we have to fight hard to get it back one by one, maybe a small county town will have to fight for thousands of lives, plus the south is full of rivers and hills and siege battles, and the kind of wilderness fighting between the two armies in the north is completely different, this road is difficult enough."

Chang Yu thought so: "The siege war is still a new challenge for Bendu, and the mountain war is also the first time, in addition to this, we also have to deal with countless thieves and homeless, not just a siege."

"What do you mean by saying that Bai Wang will lead troops to help?" Li Muxian was stunned, Chang Yu pouted and said: "This governor can calculate that he and the thief have the same routine and the same mind without pinching his fingers, and he must want to use Anqing as a stronghold at this time, but if he wants to consolidate Anqing's position, he will inevitably attract the flames of war to Nanjing...... I'm afraid he's on his way at this time."

Li Muxian nodded: "But if it really comes, let Mr. Gao and them pick up the cheap."

Moreover, the corners of Chang Yu's mouth twitched: "I can't take advantage of the slightest cheapness, Bai Wang values Anqing so much, how can he not prevent officers and soldiers from taking the west bank to raid Anqing, plus the terrain of Anqing is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Gao Jie and others are cavalry, and there is no siege baggage...... I'm afraid that when the governor goes to the east bank to Anqing, they won't be able to touch the foot of the Anqing city wall, and if they want to take the city of Anqing, they must be Li Yan and Huang Degong."

"That being the case, why should the adults let them go to the west bank to raid, why don't you join forces and fight back with all your might" Li Muxian was a little confused.

"The reason is very simple" Chang Yu smiled slightly: "In order to let us not fight Anqing's idea, Bai Wang led the war to Nanjing, and this governor sent troops to distract him from dividing his troops, and it was also to prevent him from invading Luzhou Mansion and other states and counties in Anqing, even if Gao Jie and they are unlikely to take the capital city, they can take the opportunity to go around to the south of Anqing to cut off their back road back to De'an, or they can cut off their escape into the hidden mountains in the west of Anqing."

Li Muxian was stunned, and let out a long breath of turbidity: "This is a long battle, and it will be very difficult."

"It's not going to be more difficult than fighting Tartars" Wu Zhong said casually, Chang Yu sighed: "It's too much!" The Tartars are only invincible in iron horses, but the battle situation here is much more complicated, because the terrain is too complicated near the river, the deep mountains and old forests on both sides of the river, in addition to siege warfare, but also to face jungle warfare, frontal encounters and a lot of unexpected fights, not to mention that it is in the scorching heat, it is inevitable that mosquitoes will attack and disturb, and there will even be water and soil unsuitability that will affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the army......"

"This ...... No wonder the thief army likes to run south" Wu Zhong couldn't help but look up at the little eunuch with emotion when he heard this: "My lord, you know the bottom, how sure are you going south this time?" ”

Chang Yu laughed, stretched out his hand outside the shed, the rain was dripping and very cold: "It's not important how much you grasp, important things like to fight."

"Hey, it's like I like to fight" Wu Zhong grinned: "Can Ming'er fight?" ”

"If the expectation is not bad, there will be a game before the sunset tomorrow" Chang Yu was confident, but Wu Zhong frowned: "The rain is like this, Ming'er is sure that it is also a cloudy sunset" Chang Yu turned around and gave him a kick: "Why the hell do you like the bar so much."
