Chapter 399 is a two-pronged approach
Facts have proved that Zhen Qian still looked up to Shao Er Dongshang, and it was not until after the time of the Emperor that Tanma discovered that the army of Shao Er Dongshang, who had come belatedly, learned from Fujiwara Shuxiong that the seat of the Hizen Kingdom was in Songpu City, which was only more than 50 miles away from Zhen Qian, and even if it was an infantry march in the Tang Dynasty, it could advance 60 miles a day, so Zhen Qian originally speculated that Shao Er Dongshang should arrive around the time of Shen in the afternoon, and if he launched an attack immediately, he could still catch up with the time for dinner.
After arriving at the time of the time, it was obvious that the best time to attack had been lost, the latitude of the West Sea Road of the Wa Kingdom was high, the sunset was very early, and the stars in the sky could already be seen around the time of the unitary hour, and now at this time, Shao Erdong was not ready to sneak attack his group of people.
Zhen Qian set up a grill on the beach, and a few freshly caught sea fish were washed and disemboweled, sprinkled with spices and slowly grilled on a charcoal fire.
Fujiwara Shuxiong sat opposite Zhen Qian with a frown, his eyes were already full of bloodshots, his buttocks sat on the low stool and twisted around, and he said restlessly: "Shao Er Dongshang is only less than ten miles away from us with his troops, and he will attack us early tomorrow morning, what should we do now?" ”
Zhen Qian slapped half of the grilled fish into Fujiwara Shuxiong's hand, handed over a pot of spirits and said, "Have you made up your mind?" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"There is no turning back from the bow, once we attack, you and the Shao Er clan will be completely on opposite sides, I don't know about your internal affairs, but once this kind of thing is done in Datang, you must abandon any unrealistic ideas, have you really thought about it?"
Fujiwara took a sip of wine, and the stomach of the liquor made his face rosy, and he looked particularly hideous against the background of the campfire, "Do I still have a choice?" ”
The icy sea breeze blew behind him, giving Zhen Qian a feeling of ice and fire, and he didn't like to drink spirits very much, so he also poured a big sip of spirits at this time and said: "Shao Er Dongshang sent six hundred troops, one hundred of which are armor soldiers in armor as you said, it seems that Shao Er Dongshang has brought out all the elites this time, if we want to defeat Shao Er Dongshang, we only have one chance to ......." ”
"Tell me about it?" Fujiwara Shuxiong heard that Shao Er Dongshang led six hundred soldiers to kill violently, and almost left Zhen Qian and these people to slip away alone, probably considering that he couldn't run on his two legs to the murderous Shao Er Dongshang, at this time Zhen Qian's side was the safest place.
"Shao Erdong still has 600 soldiers, and all the people we can fight here add up to only more than 600 people, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800, if we fight head-on with Shao Erdongshang, the final result will inevitably be a defeat for both sides, but Shao Erdong Shang's defeat once The foundation is still there, as long as he escapes back, he will be able to organize another army immediately, and we will have one less person to die, so we don't have many tactics to choose from, and there is no other way than a sneak attack?"
Fujiwara Shuxiong didn't understand the war, and Zhen Qian didn't really understand it either, but compared with Fujiwara Shuxiong, he had countless experiences to learn from in later generations, and after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to sneak attack Shaoer Dongshang at night.
"Sneak attack? Didn't you just say that Shao Er Dongshang could resurrect even if he was defeated? ”
Fujiwara Shuxiong thought about it and agreed with Zhen Qian's crazy plan, now it seems that there is really no choice, and now Shao Erdong Shang and himself can only live one, of course, it is best for Shao Erdong to die.
"Not bad! So I decided that you should take the sailors under the Maritime Merchant to capture Songpu Castle overnight, and I will launch a sneak attack on the camp of Shao Er Dongshang at the end of the day, and whether our side wins, we will win this battle in the end? ”
Fujiwara Shuxiong swallowed hard and spitted: "It seems that you only have two hundred people under you, will there be too few people?" ”
"Two hundred people to deal with six hundred people in Shao Er Dongshang, the manpower is a bit small, but since it is a sneak attack, I have not considered annihilating Shao Er Dongshang, as long as it can create chaos, it will be successful, in a panic, Shao Er Dongshang will inevitably flee back to Songpu City, when we are in front and behind to attack Shao Er Dongshang, it is difficult for Shao Er Dongshang not to die?"
Fujiwara Shuxiong gnawed off the grilled fish in his hand in a few bites and said, "Okay! In this way, I immediately led people to bypass Shao Er Dongshang and sneak attack Songpu City, and then flank Shao Er Dongshang back and forth, and take the entire Hizen Country in one battle! ”
Zhen Qian found that if he gave himself 5,000 elite armor soldiers, coupled with the standard weapons of the Tang Army, he would be able to easily occupy the entire Xikaidao, and then sit down and become the king of Xikaidao.
The reason why it is said to occupy the entire Saikaido, rather than the entire Wakoku, is that the situation of Seikaido and Lingnan in the Tang Dynasty is similar, and most of the population and army of the Wakoku are gathered in the Kyoto area, and the total army of Saikaido is only more than 10,000 people, and the number of Wakoku living here is less than one million, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the population is sparse and the army is weak.
If he didn't want to occupy Xikaidao, but was just going to rob it, Zhen Qian thought that if he gave himself 2,000 soldiers and horses, coupled with his secret weapon, he would be able to sweep through Xikaidao in two months.
Fujiwara Shuxiong happily led the maritime merchants with dreams of making a fortune to attack Songpu City, Wang Tianxing walked in front of Zhen Qian angrily, and held a grilled fish without saying a word and gnawed it violently.
"If you have anything in your heart, say it, and put on a face?"
"I just can't figure it out, why did Zhen Lang let Fujiwara Shuxiong and the maritime merchant pick peaches when we came up with the solution? And we have to fight to the death with Shao Erdong, ......", Wang Tianxing said dissatisfied.
"If you don't understand, keep thinking! A long mouth can ask people, but a long brain is used to think? Zhen Qian was also very dissatisfied with Wang Tianxing's idea, this kind of thing must be thought out by himself, otherwise Wang Tianxing will only be his own guard in this life.
The light smoke on the side couldn't stand it, and stuffed a bowl of kelp egg soup into Wang Tianxing's hand, kelp is a lot on the seaside, eggs are expensive, there are cages for raising chickens on the ship, chickens can be killed when there is no food, and the eggs that are usually laid are eaten by the weak sailors on the ship, this kind of thing can only Zhen Qian think of.
"Lang Jun! In fact, the concubine can't figure it out, why don't you take troops to attack Matsuura City, let Fujiwara Shuxiong lead 400 sailors to pick up the bargain, and choose to sneak attack Shaoer Dongshang, we only have more than 200 people, this battle is not easy to fight! ”
Qingyan asked differently from Wang Tianxing, Zhen Qian was not ready to answer, but asked Wang Tianxing to help him answer.
Wang Tianxing looked at Qingyan, he didn't have much of a good impression of this Qinglou woman, and thought that Zhen Qian was taking pity on her before entering the room, so he didn't look at Qingyan at all and said: "We seem to have more than 200 people, but our combat effectiveness is much stronger than the more than 400 people under the maritime merchants, and the reason why we chose the stronger Shaoer Dongshang to sneak attack instead of Songpu City is that we are worried that Shaoer Dongshang will flee back to Songpu City after the defeat, so we are ready to wipe out Shaoer Dongshang here ...... completely." ”
