"Speak directly." Li Tianbao raised his hand and said straightforwardly.
Liu Tianfang and other generals all showed interest.
Wang Baihui immediately said: "Zhang Haoyong is brave and good at fighting, and his troops are all elite soldiers. Chen Ming is loyal and brave, and his ability is even better than Zhang Haoyong."
"Zhang Haoyong streamlined his troops, and the Chu army's combat power was greatly enhanced. But there is a plague in our army. One is declining and the other is increasing. We may lose the decisive battle, and even if we win, we will kill one thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses."
"But it would be very different if the battle were to be fought at night."
"Morale and combat power can be enhanced. However, combat experience and military discipline cannot be improved in a short period of time. If we suddenly launch a night attack, there is a great possibility that the Chu army will be in chaos and then be defeated."
Having said this, Wang Baihui paused, raised his head, and said sincerely to Li Tianbao: "Admiral, please refuse Zhang Haoyong's invitation to fight. Do not fight with them for ten consecutive days. Show the enemy that you are weak. Then launch a night attack."
"My subordinates and Yan Qianhu are willing to be the vanguard and fight the enemy. If the enemy forces hold on, the Admiral does not need to take action."
"If the enemy army wavers, please lead the attack, Lord Admiral."
Li Tianbao pondered for a while, then raised his head and showed great interest, and said: "That makes sense. Vigor is something that can only be boosted in one go, then weakened, and then exhausted in three bursts."
"And military discipline is something that is cultivated over a long period of time."
"Our great Han warriors may not be the opponents of the Meng Yuan people in terms of combat prowess. But the reason why we can defeat the Meng Yuan people is because of our strict military discipline."
Li Tianbao, Liu Tianfang and others all held their heads high and showed their arrogance.
After a while, Li Tianbao nodded and said: "Act according to the plan."
"Thank you, Lord Admiral." Wang Baihui and Yan Changshan were overjoyed. Wang Baihui stood up quickly, knelt down and said.
"Get up." Li Tianbao stood up and walked to Wang Baihui, helped him up, and encouraged: "Your strategy is correct, so I agree."
"You didn't kneel down and thank me before I agreed."
"It's still the same sentence. In our Han Dynasty, you can use whatever power you have. Fame, fortune, and fortune are at your fingertips."
"yes."
Wang Baihui and Yan Changshan were very excited and responded loudly.
Once the matter is settled, we will go all the way to darkness. Li Tianbao immediately asked someone to tell Zhang Haoyong's envoy.
No fight!
...........
Chu army camp.
The soldiers held their heads high and their morale high. The armor is bright and the weapons are excellent.
Inside the big tent.
Zhang Haoyong looked at the messenger who came to report, looked up at the generals, and laughed loudly: "Li Tianbao actually avoided fighting."
"Everyone, it's like I said. When the navy comes ashore, it's just a paper tiger."
"In addition, there is a plague in Li Tianbao's army. The Han army is not a worry."
The morale of all the generals was greatly boosted and there was a lot of discussion.
"It is said that the divine soldiers of the Han army are indestructible and invincible. Now it seems that they are just mortals."
"No, no, no. The Han army is the Han army, and the navy is the navy. The Han army is indeed powerful, but the navy is, hehehe."
There are people who are teasing.
There are also those who are contemptuous.
Only Chen Mingzhi frowned slightly, showing worry.
Zhang Haoyong glanced at Chen Mingzhi, raised his hands, and signaled the generals to be quiet. After the tent returned to calm, he said: "Everyone, since Li Tianbao avoids fighting, let's get together first. You all go down and recharge your batteries."
"yes."
The generals responded, stood up, turned and walked away.
Chen Mingzhi saw Zhang Haoyong's eyes and sat still.
After everyone left, Zhang Haoyong showed a solemn look on his face and said to Chen Mingzhi: "General Chen. Although there are many generals here, you and I are the only heroes. The others are either mediocre or useless."
"Let me tell you the truth. I think the Han army avoided fighting not because they were afraid, but because they wanted to weaken our spirit. Then they would fight us decisively."
Chen Mingzhi was not surprised by Zhang Haoyong's words, nodded and said:
"I think so too. Even if a plague breaks out in the Han army, the Han army will not avoid fighting according to its consistent style. If something goes wrong, there will be monsters."
"General Zhang. No matter what happens, it is impossible for us to attack the Han army's camp. In this case, we can only strengthen our vigilance and conduct appropriate drills without sacrificing the physical strength of the soldiers."
"Look for the fighter plane again."
Zhang Haoyong nodded and hummed.
The two people are incompatible with each other in private, but they can get along harmoniously in business.
Under their leadership, the Chu army faced off against the Han army. As time went by, there were actually disadvantages to the Han army.
This is the hinterland of the Chu State, and the Han army is alone and has no logistics.
The Han army defended the county seat separately, and the city also served as a stronghold.
After the Han army withdrew, the Chu officials took control of the city again.
Xun, the governor of Zhejiang, asked landlords and gentry from all over the country to organize regiment training to harass the Han army. As time goes by, these groups train more and become more elite.
In times of war, there are many speculators or generous and romantic people who are dedicated to serving the country.
Ten days is just right, neither too long nor too short.
Ten days later.
late at night.
The Han army was divided into three camps. One for Li Tianbao, one for Liu Tianfang, one for Wang Baihui and one for Yan Changshan, forming a company camp.
After receiving the order, the soldiers put on their armor and swords, lined up neatly, and stood in the open space in the camp, blowing in the wind.
Even though it was late at night, it was still windy. But the soldiers were still sweating profusely from the heat, and those soldiers wearing heavy armor blushed like overripe shrimps.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Li Tianbao was wearing heavy armor and sitting on the commander's seat. Standing below were Liu Tianfang and twenty-two thousand households.
He said in a deep voice: "Master Wang, Master Yan. You immediately lead your troops to attack the Chu army camp from two directions in the northeast."
"Yes" Wang Baihui and Yan Changshan both responded calmly, turned around and left with their heads held high.
"General Liu. Each of us is bringing five soldiers from a thousand households to prepare for battle. The rest of the troops are guarding the camp."
Li Tianbao raised his head and said to Liu Tianfang.
"Yes." Liu Tianfang responded with his hands in hand.
Wang Baihui and Yan Changshan led dozens of soldiers back to their camp and came to the front of the military formation. Wang Baihui rode in front, while Yan Changshan was one step behind.
Wang Baihui looked at the soldiers in front of him, his expression gradually became excited, and he said loudly: "Brothers. We are all originally military households, and many of them are suffering from not having enough time to eat. Haha."
"We took advantage of the Han army. Now we also have thick armor and sophisticated weapons."
"Have the capital to seize wealth."
"Ahead is the Chu army's camp. There are countless war horses, food, and baggage. After the victory, the admiral will be richly rewarded."
"If you die in battle, the Han army will also provide generous pensions. You don't have to worry about your family."
"Brothers, risk your lives and come with us."
"Yes." The soldiers did not dare to respond loudly, but their eyes lit up and they looked excited.
Yes.
What are you afraid of if you die?
In the past, they didn't even have a chance to fight. Now they have heavy armor and weapons. If they want anything, they can get it themselves.
war!
