Wang Meng was full of great confidence in defeating Goguryeo, of course, not because he had more powerful soldiers and horses than Goguryeo, but because he was full of strategy.

Everyone in the big tent has seen Wang Meng's strength, especially the Sanhan King and others who were completely defeated by Wang Meng, and they didn't dare to have the slightest doubt, the son of the Wofu King was almost wiped out by Wang Meng's entire army, and naturally they didn't dare to doubt Wang Meng's strength, so no one dared to question what Wang Meng said.

"General, now that the weather is getting colder and colder, there are already signs of freezing on the shore of Mazi Water, if we wait for some time, we may be able to cross the Mazi Water directly on the ice, so that we will no longer be afraid of the enemy's shore defense." Ma Han Wang Zhengse said.

"Hmph, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, if you wait until Ma Zishui can leave, the main army of Goguryeo will have already returned to Marudu, and by then the enemy army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, where do we still have hope of winning, it is really a woman's opinion, in the eyes of Xiao Wang, you just want to avoid the war." King Waff retorted angrily.

When King Ma Han heard this, he was quite annoyed in his heart, paused, and said: "General, all the ships of Ma Zishui have been pulled to the north shore by Goguryeo, and there is not a single ship on the south bank, so the army can't swim over!" After speaking, he glared at King Wolf.

King Wofu snorted, and said, "Without a boat, we can build it overnight, and a hundred ferries can be built in a few days, and the living can suffocate to death." ”

Obviously, King Wofu hated King Samhan for insulting his wife and concubine, so he spoke against him everywhere, and no matter what King Ma Han said, he would loudly oppose it.

"Hmph......" King Ma Han snorted heavily and looked up at the top of the tent. No more opinions.

Wang Meng deliberately turned a blind eye to the hostility of the two, paused, looked at King Wofu, and said, "I will need ten small boats that can seat ten people. Can the king do it well overnight. ”

When King Wo Fu heard this, he patted his chest and said confidently: "Ten small boats that can seat ten people, Xiao Wang can complete it in the middle of the night, why, the general only needs ten?" After speaking, he looked at Wang Meng suspiciously.

Wang Meng smiled at the corner of his mouth. He said softly: "Ten ships are enough, if the king can do it in the middle of the night, it will be the best." After speaking, he looked at the king of Wolf.

"General, if Xiao Wang starts to prepare now, he will definitely be able to make ten small boats in the middle of the night." King Waff affirmed.

Wang Meng was overjoyed. Zhengse said: "That's great, you immediately send your subordinates to supervise the shipbuilding, and you will use these ten small ships to break the tens of thousands of troops in Goguryeo in the second half of the night." After speaking, his eyes were full of confidence.

When everyone in the big tent heard this, they all showed disbelief, but the king still asked one of his subordinates to go and arrange for the ship, and asked him to complete it as quickly as possible.

King Wofu looked at Wang Meng and asked, "I don't know how the general intends to defeat the Goguryeo army." With only ten small boats, Xiao Wang really can't think of a way to break the enemy? Please make it clear to the general. ”

The rest of the people listened to the words of the king of Wau, and all cast inquiring glances. Obviously, the question asked by the king was also of concern to them.

Wang Meng looked at everyone and said with a smile: "As long as you do what Ben General said, you can break the Goguryeo army tonight, and if Ben General says the strategy of breaking the enemy, once the Goguryeo defenders know." I'm afraid it won't work. ”

"The general has a clever plan, just give orders." King Ma Han said.

Wang Meng nodded. Zhengse said: "Everyone, the situation on the other side. The general has sent scouts to investigate very clearly, the Goguryeo army has a total of 30,000, of which 25,000 main forces are deployed outside the city, and focus on the deployment on the north bank of the Mazi River, in order to launch an attack when our army is halfway over, blocking our army from crossing the Mazi River, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city of Marudu, so as long as the 25,000 main forces are defeated, Goguryeo will be afraid, this will ask you to build a pontoon bridge on the south bank of the Mazi River, the Wofu army will build six pontoon bridges, the three Han men and horses will build one each, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the general will also build one, There are 10 pontoon bridges in total, and each of them is separated by a mile, so you can prepare as soon as you leave. ”

"General, the main force of the Goguryeo army is deployed on the north bank of Mazishui, and the pontoon bridge of our army can only be built at most to a position one stone's throw away from the north bank, and then it will enter the range of Goguryeo's crossbows, so how can the pontoon bridge be smoothly paved to the opposite bank of Mazishui." One of them asked suspiciously.

Wang Meng smiled and said: "Since you have entered the range of Goguryeo's crossbows, then the soldiers and horses deployed on the north bank of Goguryeo will also enter the range of your crossbows, and you can shoot at the crossbowmen on the opposite bank and continue to lay pontoon bridges forward." After speaking, he looked at the crowd.

When everyone heard this, they all showed embarrassment, although what Wang Meng said was not a bad way, but Goguryeo relied on a stable shore position and could be lined up in an offensive fan, so as to more effectively launch a bow and crossbow attack on their soldiers and horses building pontoon bridges, while their soldiers and horses could only launch bow and crossbow counterattacks on narrow pontoon bridges, and the balance of strength was obviously at a disadvantage.

"General, will this work?" King Ma Han asked suspiciously.

Wang Meng nodded and said, "Okay, it will definitely be done, just wait and do it." ”

Seeing that Wang Meng insisted on this, everyone had no choice but to take the order, and left Wang Meng's Chinese army tent one after another, returned to their respective camps, and immediately began to implement the plan to build a pontoon bridge.

After Sanhan and Wofu's generals left, Wang Meng summoned several of his henchmen and began to deploy combat missions for them.

In this night raid, the soldiers and horses of Wo Fu and Sanhan were just auxiliary forces, and the only factor that could really play a central role and determine the victory or defeat of the war was the 2,500 elite Jin troops under his command, which Wang Meng knew very well.

"General, a small boat can only cross ten people, ten ships can only cross a hundred people at a time, and it takes five times for our five hundred soldiers and horses to cross all of them, so why don't you build more ships? In this way, our army will be able to cross more soldiers and horses at a time. A general asked suspiciously.

Wang Meng glanced at his generals deeply, and said in a low voice: "Every move of our army on the south bank is only under the noses of the Goguryeo sentinels on the north bank. In this way, how could the elite of our army be able to smuggle across the Mazi water, and the ten small boats had small targets and were secretly crossing at night, and it was not easy to be discovered. The success rate of smuggling is even greater. ”

Hearing this, the general nodded approvingly, obviously, compared to the successful smuggling, a few more back and forth seems insignificant.

Wang Meng pointed to the map in front of him, and then said, "This is an inconspicuous location ten miles upstream. Your 500 soldiers and horses will cross the horse from here in five batches, remember to reduce the movement, all the soldiers give up their horses, and change to infantry, and even the crossbows and arrows must be prepared. Each soldier had at least 200 crossbow bolts, and all soldiers were prepared with a long sword, and a few soldiers were prepared with additional spears or shields to resist the opponent's bow and crossbow attacks. ”

Hearing this, the general nodded again and again, indicating that he understood Wang Meng's intentions.

Wang Meng glanced at his generals with satisfaction, and then formally ordered: "After successfully arriving at the north bank of Mazi Water, the troops will immediately be divided into three routes. One hundred people entered the northwest of Marudu City and set fire to create a momentum of thousands of troops, and the other one hundred people entered the northeast of Marudu City, also in the form of arson and attack. Let Goguryeo think that a large number of our troops and horses have entered the back of Marudu Castle, so that they are frightened, and the remaining 300 main troops and horses will first ambush, and then when our army's pontoon bridge is about to be built on the opposite bank, suddenly launch an attack and defeat the soldiers and horses deployed by Goguryeo on the shore. In order to ensure that our army's pontoon bridge can be built smoothly to the opposite bank, so. The main force of our army can enter the north bank, and the Goguryeo army will definitely not be able to resist. ”

"The general is wise. The Admiral understood. The general felt that Wang Meng's deployment was very good, and he happily took the order.

Wang Meng nodded, looked at another general, and said: "You lead two thousand soldiers and horses to start building a pontoon bridge immediately, and before midnight, you must build a position less than a stone's throw away from the opposite bank, and reserve enough materials, so that after our army's surprise troops capture the position on the opposite bank, the remaining pontoon bridge can be quickly paved, so that our army's two thousand soldiers and horses can quickly rush into the opposite bank in a short time, and set up a formation to attack the counterattacking Goguryeo army." ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands." The general commanded loudly.

Wang Meng waved his hand, and asked his subordinates to go to prepare immediately, at this time the main army of Goguryeo was still in Liaodong, if he did not take this opportunity to take the city of Marudu, after the main force of Goguryeo returned, there would be no such opportunity, so Wang Meng was determined to succeed in the night action, and did not allow the slightest mistake, so as not to create a successful and defeated end.

At the Goguryeo Army camp on the north bank of Mazishui, the generals of Goguryeo were studying the deployment of the coalition forces on the other side, and from time to time some of their own soldiers entered the big tent to report the latest situation on the south bank of Mazishui.

"General, the enemy's troops on the other side are a full fifty percent more than our army, but with Ma Zishui blocking it, it is difficult for the enemy to force it over, and the pressure on our army is not very great, so we should be able to hold the defensive line." A ministry general said.

The Goguryeo general nodded and said confidently: "Everyone, my Goguryeo people have the best bloodline in the whole world, my Goguryeo army is invincible, although the enemy army is fifty percent more than our army, but all of them are rabble, especially the fertile soldiers and horses, they are not vulnerable at all, so our army will win this battle, and the enemy army will be defeated." After speaking, he clenched his fists confidently.

"Goguryeo will win, Goguryeo will win." The generals in the big tent shouted excitedly, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

At this time, they seem to have long forgotten the down-and-out things that were frequently defeated by the Yan Kingdom many years ago, and the strong self-confidence and magical self-healing ability of the Goguryeo people are the most powerful in the world.

"General, Wo Fu has always been protected by my Goguryeo, but now he suddenly defected to the Jin army and launched an attack on my Goguryeo capital, it is really an ambitious leopard guts, for a traitor like Wo Fu, I must teach a hard lesson, otherwise, how to establish the prestige of my Goguryeo." A subordinate general shouted excitedly.

"General, the people of Wofu live under our noses, if I want to Goguryeo, I can take it down at any time, but the king did not annex it for the sake of King Wofu's obedience, and now, the people of Wofu are not grateful to Dade, but they want to take revenge and must be severely punished." The other will say.

"The enemy army on the other side is less than 40,000, of which the Wofu army accounts for 30,000, which is the main force of the enemy, as long as the Wofu army is completely defeated by our army, the enemy's soldiers and horses will all be scattered, so in this battle, our army must completely defeat the Wofu army, so that the Wofu people know the fate of betraying our Goguryeo." One of the generals yelled angrily.

Hearing this, the Goguryeo chief general nodded with satisfaction, and the self-confidence of the generals under his command made him see the tenacious style of the Goguryeo people and the momentum of despising all enemies.

The generals of Goguryeo knew very well how much the combat strength of the Wofu army was, so although the strength of the Wofu army was much more than theirs, they were confident enough to defeat the Wofu army and fight the Wofu army in the border ditch.

"Report, general, the enemy troops on the other side are building pontoon bridges, and the small number of them is enough, there are ten pontoon bridges, about a mile apart." At this moment, the scout told the Goguryeo commander the news of the construction of a pontoon bridge on the opposite bank.

"Building a pontoon bridge, it seems that the enemy is planning to attack from the front, and the momentum is not small! Hmph......" The Goguryeo lord said in a deep voice.

"General, since the enemy army is preparing to attack from the front, our army only needs to send some soldiers and horses to defend the shore, and have a large number of bows and crossbows to suppress the enemy troops who are building pontoon bridges, so that we can prevent the enemy from successfully building pontoon bridges." A subordinate general said.

Gao Shang thought for a moment, looked at the scout, and asked, "How did the enemy build the pontoon bridge, was the Wofu people in charge of building it, or the Sanhan people, or the Jin army in charge?" ”

"General Hui, the villain has already explored clearly, the six pontoon bridges downstream were built by the Wofu army, the middle three were built by the three Korean soldiers and horses, and the upstreammost pontoon bridge was built by the Jin army, and now they have begun to build, it is estimated that they can be built to the north bank in a few hours." The scout said truthfully.

"The people of Wofu are actually responsible for building six pontoon bridges, well, very good, tonight our army will completely defeat the army of Wofu and let them know the fate of betraying my Goguryeo." The Goguryeo lord said in a noble voice.

"General, give the order!" The Goguryeo generals looked at the noble and confident battle of the main general.

Gao Shang nodded, looked at a subordinate general, Zhengse, and said: "Your army of 2,000 troops, divided into four groups, each group of 500 soldiers, is responsible for guarding the position on the opposite bank of the pontoon bridge built by the Sanhan and Jin armies, so that they cannot smoothly build the pontoon bridge to the opposite bank." ”

"Yes, General, the last general commands." The general commanded loudly
