Even so, Mount Kanu could not divide its troops to protect her, because despite the strong participation of the Yanyun Army, the total military strength used by the Burmese for fighting was only 200,000.
And Narado has 800,000 soldiers and horses. After excluding water, there are also 500,000. Although our own side is all elites and the other side is all new soldiers, after all, the enemy is outnumbered and we cannot take it lightly.
Liu Ruyun felt something was wrong when he was stationed by the Ye Gong River. He watched his troops crossing the river one after another, but his five thousand people stood still because the commander ordered them to be on guard... This is our territory. Why are we on guard?
"Why are you so aggressive?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw her anxiously walking around the shore like a tigress.
"My soldiers are fighting to the death for me, but I'm hiding behind. Is it ridiculous?" Liu Ruyun asked, "When you were fighting with Luo Dongying, were you also following them?"
"This, this, the situation is different..." Xiao Chen said.
"We will not accept military orders from abroad. Let's cross the river tomorrow!" Liu Ruyun said.
"There will be heavy rain at noon tomorrow, and the river will surge by at least five feet in the evening. This wooden bridge may be washed away, and our camp will have to be moved to higher ground." A young officer with a dark face suddenly said.
"How do you know it will rain tomorrow and predict that the river will surge five feet?" Liu Ruyun didn't know this person either. He came with Sima Zhongping and others, but he did not go out with the army and stayed behind. Next to Xiao Chen, might he be someone from Xuan Yiwei?
"As a general, you must know astronomy, geography, and climate change. You must also know in advance... Why don't you know about Queen Ruyun? That's not good for leading troops." The man also lacked basic respect for Liu Ruyun. It is said that he did not kneel down and salute...
"Hmph, are you Yanyun people so arrogant?" Liu Ruyun said angrily, "You are talking to me!"
"That's not the case, this one is the only one with great arrogance." Ling'er next to him laughed, "It's simply more arrogant than my Flying Wing Guard and Xiao Ye's Cavalry Guard!"
It is said that the only one in the Yanyun army who is more impressive than the Qiaoqiwei and Feiyiwei is the Long Xiangwei, so this young officer is none other than Li Haibo.
He also led his troops to participate in the battle, saying that he wanted to train the team, and Long Xiangwei was not under the control of Zhuge Xiaosheng at all, so he was quite free to move. He had the final say to come and go. Even Xiao Chen I was quite surprised to see him. Why are you here?
The main reason is that the number of people under his command is too small, and no matter how he moves, it will have no impact on Yan Yun's army, so he has such a large degree of freedom.
This time he only brought 500 people. He did not return to the control of Mount Jianu, but directly became Xiao Chen's personal guard and followed him all the time.
"Hai Bo, you can just talk to us casually. You have to be more polite with the queen. It's not polite. Come and greet the queen and introduce yourself." Xiao Chen said.
"Hello Queen Ruyun, my name is Li Haibo, you are so beautiful." Li Haibo's way of greeting was so strange, "No wonder my boss traveled thousands of miles to help you."
Liu Ruyun was immediately silenced. Is there something wrong with this person's brain?
"He has always been like this. The main reason is that he has not been here for a long time and is not used to it yet..." Xiao Chen explained.
What he said seemed to mean that Li Haibo had not joined the Yanyun Army for a long time. In fact, it meant that Li Haibo had not traveled through time long. This was not something Liu Ruyun could know.
As a soldier, Li Haibo originally spoke very little. He lived alone in Northern Xinjiang for half a year after he came here. After joining the Yanyun Army, he has been leading troops and has little contact with the outside world. Therefore, people who are not familiar with his origins will feel that he is He has a weird personality, is out of place, and is incompatible with this world.
After all, there are not many time-travelers who are as adaptable as Xiao Chen.
"So if the queen plans to cross the river, she must make preparations now. Once they pass, we will go there immediately. On the other side of the river, about ten miles away, there is a high ground where we can be stationed. Since Marshal Ganushan has asked us to be on guard, there It's the best location." Li Haibo said.
"You're new here, how come you know so much about the situation on the other side?" Liu Ruyun was surprised, "It seems like you know better than us.
"For the general..." Li Haibo said.
"Stop giving us lessons. If you have anything to say, just say it!" Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"There are not many Siamese troops on the opposite side. They are distributed among three large and small cities. These three cities are all located on important roads, which is equivalent to locking the throat of our advance. They must also be prepared to defend to the death. , so it will be difficult to attack by force. It is better to just take the mountain road and go around." Li Haibo took out a map and pointed.
"Isn't this our military map?" Liu Ruyun, Duoma and several other generals came over to take a look. Damn it, we have never seen this map of yours.
"I sent people to sneak into Siam to draw this a few days ago. Your map is too rough...fine, and I can't see clearly." Li Haibo said.
"You've only been here a few days and you can draw such a precise map?" Doma couldn't believe it.
"It's not precise, it's just a rough approximation, and it's also a partial map. Isn't our mission to attack Thailand? So the focus of this map is this area... We are a light cavalry unit. We should take advantage of our speed and rest for a day tomorrow. , when the rain stops the day after tomorrow, we can march here in a hurry." Li Haibo said to himself.
"Hey, are you mistaken? Our queen is the commander in chief. Why are you giving random orders?" Doma didn't like hearing this guy's tone of saying that he was the master!
"I'm not commanding, I'm just suggesting." Li Haibo said, "But if you let me command, then we won't attack any city, but go straight to the hinterland of Siam and make a circle from the east. If everything goes well, We can reach Taijing City within ten days."
"Ah? Do you want to tire us out from going in such a big circle?" Doma grinned.
"Actually, it won't be too tiring, because the roads I chose are all horse-riding. We have enough horses now and they are enough to use. Since we are going to launch a surprise attack, we can't skimp on the horsepower. Besides, when we fight them in a decisive battle, we won't be too tired. There is no need for war horses." Li Haibo said.
"We have five thousand people. What if we are discovered by others for such a large march in other people's territory? We have neither logistics nor reinforcements. Once we are surrounded, we will fight alone and we will definitely lose." The general said.
"So we have to use the trick of suspecting soldiers. I see that they have just captured thousands of Siamese soldiers. The weapons and armor are all piled up there. If we all dress up like Siamese soldiers, we can pass without hindrance. If we encounter a little Just annihilate all the troops directly, and there are no large-scale mobile troops in their hinterland." Li Haibo said.
"Isn't it too trivial to talk about war on paper?" Liu Ruyun felt that what Li Haibo said seemed to make sense, but he also found it unbelievable. Is it possible to fight like this?
Wouldn't it be a little too flippant and underestimating the enemy?
