The 1314th palm is an unexpected move
Bai Wang will not surrender, Chang Yu also knows that he will not surrender, Bai Wang also knows that Chang Yu knows that he will not surrender, this is a tacit thing, they are all waiting to recover their strength and do a good job, but at today's meeting Chang Yu pierced this layer of window paper.
After returning to the city, he immediately ordered all departments to enter a state of combat readiness, Lu Daqi, Xu Hongji, Chang Yanling, Zhao Zhilong, and Zhu Guobi went out of the city to sit in the Tianjinghu military camp to prepare for attack and defense, and at the same time sprinkled several patrols to intercept the thief army and strictly prohibit the horse from entering the range of five miles.
Wu Sangui, Ma Ke, Wang Tizhong and other generals each went to mobilize their subordinates before the war, and the atmosphere in the city suddenly became a little tense, whether it was ordinary people or soldiers, they all knew that the fight was going to start, either tonight or tomorrow!
Although the big war is imminent, Chang Yu is still relatively relaxed, he has more than once estimated the strength and advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, on the strength of the officers and soldiers have an absolute advantage, on the combat power is not too much, even some soldiers and horses combat power is far above the thief army, on the firepower of the Shenji battalion, hundreds of tiger squatting cannons are enough to bombard Bai Wang's position to the ground.
What does the thief army have? Easy-to-defend and hard-to-attack positions and strong combat effectiveness.
"Tomorrow's war, the cavalry is not very useful, leave two thousand in the rear pressure formation, the rest can be changed to cavalry, first suppressed by the fire of the Shenji battalion, the middle of the royal body is the vanguard of the Chinese army, Lu Daqi led the Nanjing soldiers and horses to attack from the side of the Xijiang River, and the rest of the troops then sent reinforcements, where they can't attack, where to top" Chang Yu and Li Muxian in the county hall were paddling with tea on the table.
Li Muxian frowned: "The battlefield is narrow and the troops can't be thrown in, three thousand people are enough, and the overseer's intention to attack Lu Shangshu's side attack with Wang Tizhong as the main attack is also clear, but the thief army will suffer heavy losses under the suppression of the fire of the Shenji Battalion, but it can stimulate its ferocity to fight to the death, and once our soldiers enter the position, the artillery will stop, so as not to injure their own people by mistake, at that time, it is whose combat effectiveness is strong!" What do you think ......?"
"Do you think that the people in the king's body are not good, or the Nanjing soldiers led by Lu Daqi are not good?" Chang Yu was thoughtful, and the corners of Li Muxian's mouth rose slightly: "Wang Tizhong is a brave person, and his meritorious service will not hold him back, but Lu Shangshu is ...... Hehe, if his flank attack is weak, relying only on the king's body alone, and the army behind us can't throw in, how far can he rush in, and how long can he carry it? ”
"Then you want the Governor to throw Wu Sangui, Ma Ke or the three battalions of Dongchang into it first?" Chang Yu picked up the teacup and looked a little solemn, Li Muxian smiled: "Reluctantly? ”
Chang Yu snorted: "I am reluctant to be second, the new governor of Wang Tizhong wants to see his name, and the Nanjing soldiers and horses should also see blood on the real battlefield last time, and you should always understand the truth of Tian Ji horse racing!" ”
Li Muxian was stunned: "The overseer means that the king and the Nanjing soldiers will first consume the strength of the thief army, and the soldiers such as General Wu will take advantage of their fatigue to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop...... Wonderful! But there is one more second to the poor road."
"Why don't you tell me to see what's going on?" Chang Yu put down the teacup and looked at Li Muxian with a smile, this Taoist priest is different from Li Yan is a professional military staff, although many methods are unexpected, there are also many unrealistic wild ways.
"You can send a group of men and horses from the east flank to attack the mountain and go straight to the mountain where Bai Wang is located, although it may not be a success, but it can disrupt the morale of the army, and it can also distract Bai Wang, not to mention that if you can cooperate with the overseer's ambush in time, there may be unexpected joy."
Chang Yu nodded slightly, and the corners of his mouth rolled into a sneer.
At the same time, on the ten-mile mountain range south of the city, Bai Wang sat in the shade of a tree with Wang Yien and Yuan Sanzhong were also actively discussing the preparation for war, guessing whether the officers and soldiers would launch an attack in the evening when the weather was a little cooler.
"That gelding dog is really treacherous, he never believed that I would surrender from the beginning to the end," Bai Wang sneered with a grass in his mouth.
"If he doesn't believe it, why does he have to give us two days to prepare?" Wang Yien was a little puzzled, and Yuan Sanzhong said: "How can he have that good intention, it's just that he also needs to repair when the reinforcements first arrive, so he is simply planning and planning, but he is also secretly preparing, and now that he has pierced the window paper, it means that he is ready to go to war at any time."
"Fight is war, what do we want now, what are we afraid of him" Wang Yien snorted coldly and suddenly thought of something: "Marshal, our people in the mountains said that more than 20 brothers were missing, and guessed that it was done by officers and soldiers."
Bai Wang's eyes are small, he looks at the river with his back to the mountain to guard the main road, his handsome tent is on the mountain ridge on the east side of the main road, and he can see the overall situation at a high level to facilitate command, and he also arranged a bow and arrow and a stone thrower position in the mountain ridge to suppress the attack of the officers and soldiers by fire, and behind him is the reckless deep mountain, in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from attacking behind their backs, they set up more than 100 light and dark sentinels in the mountain, at this time he heard that more than 20 were missing, which caused his doubts.
"Is it the north or the east that is missing?" Bai Wang said that the north side is close to the southwest direction of Tongling City, Bijia Mountain, Chestnut Mountain, in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from taking the mountain road to sneak attack, he set up a heavy sentry post there, the scouts of the officers and soldiers may be able to sneak into the mountain, but it is unrealistic for a large number of people to enter the mountain, just get close to it will be discovered, and secondly, from there to Bai Wang here more than ten miles of lofty mountains and mountains there is no road, and the army is not feasible.
"It was the brothers in the east who had the accident, and it is estimated that the officers and soldiers sent troops into the mountain" and came from afar, Wang Yien guessed, and Bai Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "Come from afar?" Hey, a large group of people can't enter the mountain, it's useless for a small group to come, it's even difficult to get close to here for ten miles, at most it can create some small troubles that can't control the war situation, and it may not be the officers and soldiers who did it, it's not easy to say that they are afraid of the war and sneak away, otherwise I don't believe that our brothers are so wasteful that a spy of an officer and soldier can't catch them, and they can't even find their traces? ”
Yuan Sanzhong nodded and suggested: "Whether it is the careful behavior of the officers and soldiers or their own sneaking away, let's be careful to make the Wannian ship, and increase the manpower over there to fortify the defense so as not to cause chaos, I heard that some time ago, only dozens of officers and soldiers took Wuhu City under Wang Zamao's nose, we can't carelessly capsize the ship in the gutter again."
"Phew! Wang Zamao's waste and miscellaneous scraps can not be compared with the handsome" Wang Yien scolded and scolded, but having said that, after all, hundreds of people were transferred to the back mountain forest to guard it.
The two armies were busy preparing for war all afternoon, each sending several units of scouts to monitor and confront each other at the five-mile critical point, but it did not cause friction, as if they were waiting for a certain point.
In the evening, the clairvoyant mirror in Chang Yu's hand at the head of the city was raised and put down several times, and he turned his head and asked Wu Sangui: "General Wu, do you think the thief army will besiege the city tonight?" ”
Wu Sangui shook his head: "The thief army may be able to defend the mountain road according to the dangerous terrain, if they want to besiege the city, they will undoubtedly hit the stone with eggs, and they will not do that useless move if they have self-knowledge, defending the mountain road is their top priority, and attacking the city is meaningless to them."
"That's not necessarily" Ma Ke shook his head beside him: "At this time, the white thief should know that Anqing has been besieged, and he can't come to attack the city with an anti-guest, and thirty-six plans to besiege Wei and save Zhao."
After hearing this, everyone nodded again and again, and even Wu Sangui had to agree: "Maybe there is such a possibility, but if it really comes to attack, it will only be destroyed, our soldiers in the city are strong and strong, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the city who can cooperate with the attack at any time, as long as he dares to come, he will definitely be defeated."
"Hearing what General Wu said, the governor really wants Bai Wang to attack the city," Chang Yu's words The crowd laughed.
However, what is surprising is that when the twilight first fell, Chang Yu, who was having dinner in the yamen, heard the news that the thieves were coming, which caused everyone to be shocked and felt really incredible.
Is the thief army really coming to attack the city? Where does the confidence and confidence come from?
