0909 Quick Fix
Tian Ni's choice of Lingchangjin as the location for crossing the river is not to say that he really has the heart of comparing himself with the ancestor Shi Le, of course, it does not rule out such a factor, the decisive battle between the two Zhao in the Central Plains, Lingchangjin has a special meaning for Shi Zhao's generals.
Although the current military situation is that there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and Tian Ni has a greater chance of winning, he is still jealous of Huainan Shen Weizhou, even if he does not show it in his words and demeanor, but when he is about to use something, he still inevitably feels a little apprehensive, and subconsciously hopes that he can get some of the help of the gods.
Others may have over-interpreted it because of this, but Tian Ni was not afraid, and even hoped that through this obscure expression, his uncle Shi Kan would notice his slightly embarrassing situation.
Even if this will cause some dissatisfaction with Shi Kan, even if there is no enemy in Huainan, just from the pressure from Xiangguo, Shi Kan will not suppress him as a servant, but must pay more attention to it in order to maintain internal stability.
Of course, in terms of specific tactics, although Lingchangjin is far away from the sour jujube, such a small distance is not enough to cause the overturning of the victory and defeat. Moreover, although Lingchangjin is far away from the sour date, it is closer to the sliding platform, and after defeating the enemy of the sour jujube in the coming day, he can also take the sliding platform more quickly and grasp the more important Baimajin downstream.
Tian Ni believes that with Shen Weizhou's talents, it is impossible to just send a lone army to the north to provoke him, even if there is a small setback in the front, he will definitely continue to increase his troops in the future and conduct a big battle.
At that time, whether Shi Kan wants to or not, he must increase his troops and wait for the battle, and Tian Ni won the first battle, and he took the first step to grasp the important strongholds on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the next step to increase the troops, he can also take advantage of the situation to grasp the reinforcements of the frontline men and horses, so as to increase his military power.
How his uncle Shi Kan got into such a situation, Tian Ni saw it with his own eyes, and especially understood that in this world, the so-called blood and family affection or empty name position are not as good as the soldiers and horses that can really be in his hands.
Previously, in front of the generals, although Tian Niyan had no lack of contempt for the Huainan Army on the south bank of the Yellow River, he actually understood in his heart that no matter whether the Huainan Army was strong or weak, this battle was an extremely important opportunity for him.
Whether Huainan is afraid or not does not lie in the number of troops deployed by the Huainan Army on the south bank of the Yellow River, but in the fact that the overall strength of Huainan should not be underestimated. Why did Shi Kan sit in Yecheng for several years and didn't send people to cross the river to run Henan? is worried that once this happens, it may anger the Huainan Army and the Xuzhou Army, and bring troops to fight in advance.
It's ridiculous that Chen Shi is a fool, and he thinks that others really sit back and watch him develop and grow in Henan and ignore it, in fact, he is just a pawn who crossed the river first, once he grows to a certain extent, he will inevitably be swallowed up and become the vanguard of the official army in Henan.
Previously, Tian Ni avoided the sour jujube to operate the Hu Pavilion, in fact, he was not jealous of Chen Shixin, but was testing another direction of attack. As a result, once the Huainan army went north, the first to be annihilated was the defenders of Huting, which also proved that once the offensive was launched from here, it would inevitably encounter the stubborn resistance of the Huainan army, and the Huainan army's attention to the chasm water system could be said to have reached an extreme.
As for other places, it may arouse the fear and vigilance of the Huainan army, but it is impossible to try their best to stop it at the first time. If you win the previous battle, you can successfully gain a foothold in Henan, strengthen the military, and then go all the way south and sweep Henan!
Therefore, Chen Shi regarded Tian Ni as jealous, which was really stupid. This stupid thing is just an eagle dog under the command of King Wei, but Tian Ni is a slave connected to the blood of King Wei, and he wants to be a slave above the master, not to mention what Tian Ni thinks, even King Wei does not agree!
Just like now, the King of Wei is already so powerful, but he still does not dare to join the struggle of Xiangguo, and even dare not take Hebei as his foundation, this gap in identity and bloodline cannot be made up by the level of strength.
Unless his person is really strong enough to tear down everything old and restructure it, even if Chen Shi has such ability, then his opponent is no longer Tian Ni, but King Wei!
In fact, Chen Shi is not the only one who has such a stupid idea. At present, the military leaders in the Xinle camp who led the crowd to help the battle, Tian Ni believes that there are many treacherous people, and they are always ready to give themselves a knife.
Of course, Tenny will not give these people a chance, except for the deterrence of force, the greatest value of these unruly eagle dogs is to be consumed. Therefore, in the next arrangement, Tian Ni also lined up several powerful military leaders in the vanguard, and they were never allowed to lead the crowd to watch the battle, and they did not contribute to the work.
The 6,000 leading troops were divided into two parts by Tianni, one of which was 2,000 men, divided into more than a dozen warships, and set off to attack Huting first. This part of the army is mainly to contain the defenders of the Huainan Army in Huting, so that they cannot calmly rush to the downstream.
This is not a division of troops, and Tian Ni does not believe that these army leaders will completely obey his orders, even if the Huainan army is insufficient, it is also an opponent that should not be underestimated, he has gathered too many troops here that cannot be controlled, it seems that there are many people and strength, but it is a hidden danger. In the early years, Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan, was a clear lesson, so before that, Tian Ni had only ordered 3,000 people to be gathered.
Dividing this part of the troops, the combat effectiveness of his men and horses will not be reduced much, but it will make the army easier to control and weaken the pressure of supervising the war. And as long as these people appear near Huting, they are a threat, whether they try their best to fight or not, it is enough to contain the Huting Huainan army. Even if he is annihilated by a counterattack, Tenny is not distressed, after all, his center of gravity is downstream.
The rest of the army leaders served as the vanguard of the river crossing with the 2,000 men directly under Tenny. Tian Ni himself personally led 4,000 men and horses as a follow-up, and it was best for the striker to win the sour dates in one go, so Tian Ni did not need to land on the shore to directly kill and attack the slippery. If the forward is frustrated, presumably the Huainan army has already been seriously consumed, and when his new force joins the battle, this battle will undoubtedly be won!
After the deployment was completed, the men and horses of the Xinle battalion quickly dispatched and marched upstream and downstream, and as for the base camp of Tenni, there were still 2,000 troops under the command of his henchmen. Even if the departure of the army from the county will cause some commotion in the rear, some strong army leaders have been dispatched, and these two thousand people are enough to deter and not cause chaos.
Nearly 10,000 troops were mobilized, and the food and grass were still secondary, after all, this time was also a local operation, and the supply line would not be too long, and if it went well, the battle would be over in two or three days. The most important thing is the boat, mentioning this, Tian Ni couldn't help but scold: "The king of Zhongshan misled the country and was a traitor, and the country was used for things, and he was overthrown in Huaishang in a war, he really deserved to die!" ”
When Shi Le was alive, although the state of Qian was not large enough to crush the naval army of Jiangdong, there was no shortage of boats and ships, mainly concentrated in the direction of Xuzhou and Huaibei. At that time, Shikan was sitting in Huaibei, and Tian Ni even personally led an army across the sea to invade the counties along the Jiangdong coast.
However, in the battle a few years ago, Shi Hu took over the military power of Xuzhou, but failed to recapture the important town of Huaiyin, and then was strongly defeated by the Huainan army, which made most of the boat and ship capacity accumulated by the Jin State for more than ten years be obtained by the Jin army.
Although Shi Hu cannot be blamed alone for this incident, it is true that Shi Le and Shi Kan are more responsible, Shi Kan was full of enthusiasm to leave Xuzhou and wanted to enter the country to replace Shi Hu as the Duke of Zhou, so the situation in Xuzhou took a sharp turn for the worse.
In fact, in the past few years, Shi Kan has also operated some warships, as many as hundreds, but most of them are in Liyang, which is closer to Yecheng, and there are not many here in Tianni. Even if the previous requisition of military leaders from all walks of life is added, there are only less than 100 ships concentrated at present, and they are all small and medium-sized warships, and their capacity is limited.
In order to concentrate the troops on the battlefield and attack the landing and catch the enemy by surprise, in terms of carrying troops alone, Tenney used nearly 80 warships, and only a dozen ships were kept for carrying goods and dealing with emergencies.
In fact, he didn't have to, because the Yellow River was still under the control of Hebei, and the Huainan Navy had not entered the Yellow River in a big way, so there would be almost no water battles on the river, just sending troops to Henan for landing operations.
Such a simple task can be completed with a variety of rafts. But when he thought that his enemy this time was the Huainan Army at that time, Tian Ni did not want to show his cowardice in this regard. Even if he didn't expect to be able to capture Shen Weizhou in this battle, he would inevitably have the idea of competing for glory in his heart. Of course, this idea is not even aware of it himself.
"Win this battle quickly! After this war, we must let the world know that the people of Jijun will also dare to fight! ”
When the troops were assembled in Lingchangjin, Tian Ni once again took the stage, after the big battle in Huaishang a few years ago, the Huainan Army and Shen Weizhou more or less became a nightmare in the hearts of the people of the country, thinking that he could have the opportunity to be a little shameful today, Tian Ni was also very excited.
