"Huh?"
"There are not as many assassins in such a large military camp as there are in the imperial city."
"That's a little strange."
Ning Fan followed Xi Xiongtu all the way to the military tent. The generals who followed him into the tent stood respectfully on both sides.
"Master Shen, I wonder what your Majesty's purpose is for coming here this time?"
"Recover Liyang City within two days."
"What!"
Xi Xiongtu's face showed a bit of shock. The other generals looked at Ning Fan and their eyes were dull for a moment. There was a bit of self-mockery on their faces: "Master Shen, there are currently half a million troops guarding the other side of the Li River. , Liyang City is an important town in the north of the Yangtze River, and it is also guarded by 300,000 troops."
"Now that I am in Dali, I can only defeat 300,000 people, so how can I regain Liyang City?"
"Being able to cross the Li River in two days is already fantastic!"
"yes!"
Everyone agreed, but Xi Xiongtu had a deep expression on his face and remained silent for a long time.
Ning Fan looked around, then landed on Xi Xiongtu, and said softly: "Xi Shuai, this time I came not only to follow His Majesty's orders, but also brought some information to Xi Xiongtu!"
"oh?"
Xi Xiongtu's face showed a bit of doubt. Ning Fan stepped forward, took the pen and ink on the desk, and wrote and drew directly on the paper. Xi Xiongtu looked at the drawings and drawings on Ning Fan's rice paper. Mark, and was stunned for a moment.
"This is……"
"Part of Da Yan's defense plan!"
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Xi Xiongtu's expression condensed, but all the generals even exclaimed in surprise!
Ning Fan raised the corner of his mouth slightly. His advanced dynamic military sandbox could radiate a radius of thirty miles. In other words, the radiation radius was enough to cross the Li River and directly view the Dayan Military Camp within fifteen miles.
Now the defenses in the military camp were clearly visible in front of him. It was even displayed on radar. The buildings, defenses, and fortifications inside were all clearly displayed in Ning Fan's mind in outline.
"hiss!"
"Da Yan's soldiers and horses are all gathered in this section?"
"Are they planning to cross the river from the west?"
Xi Xiongtu looked at the increasingly clear military defense map, with a bit of horror in his eyes. This was simply exposing the entire Dayan military camp in front of him!
Even the location of Dayan Shuai's tent has been marked, isn't it outrageous! ?
Very outrageous!
This requires a lot of tricks in Da Yan's army. Even Xi Xiongtu suspected that Lord Shen had bribed Da Yan's coach.
Otherwise, even ordinary soldiers would not be able to draw the defense map so clearly.
"Master Shen, is this picture real?"
"Um!"
Ning Fan looked at the dynamic military sand table in his mind. Many red dots on it were still moving, moving closer to the western section of the Lijiang River. A look of concentration appeared on his face: "Xiao Shuai, as far as I know, Da Yan's The main grain transportation line was attacked by Dayu, and now Dayan’s grain and grass cannot keep up.”
"Because of this, they were never in a hurry to cross the river. Now, according to reports from my informants, Da Yan's troops are still gathering towards the west side of the Li River in a steady stream. Doesn't this give us a chance?" ?”
Xi Xiongtu also showed some concentration and said in a deep voice: "If the information provided by you is true, I am confident that I can turn the tide of the war in one fell swoop."
"Don't worry, Xi Shuai."
"Today, our army's defenses on the west side are relatively weak, and they don't know the intelligence of the frontier. If they really concentrate their forces and raid our western section of the defense line, the Li River may not be able to hold it."
"Now, they are mobilizing troops and horses. It will take at least three days."
"Xiao Shuai, do you dare to take a gamble?"
"Don't dare!"
Xi Xiongtu shook his head directly, with a bit of a wry smile on his face.
"Sir, I, Dali, can't afford to gamble now!"
"Behind us are our millions of people in Dali and our country of Dali that has lasted for more than a hundred years."
"If we lose, Dali will really die."
Ning Fan's face showed a hint of concentration, and he said in a deep voice: "Commander, if we rely closely on the Li River and defend by the river, if I hadn't sent the information in time this time, might the commander know about Da Yan's troop mobilization? "
Xi Xiongtu also showed a bit of fear on his face, and all the generals' expressions darkened, and there were dense beads of sweat on their foreheads, if Da Yan really gathered his troops quietly.
can not imagine!
"Thank you, sir!"
"No!"
Ning Fan shook his head and looked around: "Commander, everyone, I also know that now I can't take risks, I can't afford to gamble, I can't afford to lose!"
"But now, the situation is becoming more and more critical."
"Dayan's army of one million went south. If Dayu hadn't helped us contain Dayan's main force of 300,000, we would have had 700,000 Yan's troops approaching the river now."
"We are guarding the Li River, but with only 300,000 troops, we still can't guarantee everything!"
"Now, what should we do?"
"Sit back and wait for death?"
When Ning Fan asked, Xi Xiongtu shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "If you have something to say, please speak out."
"I said, we will capture Liyang City within two days!"
"Let's defeat Da Yan's army!"
"Now, no matter whether we advance or retreat, we can't be foolproof. It's better to fight on the water and take a gamble. If it succeeds, I will get a chance to breathe."
"If we lose, we will give up the Li River, retreat to the second line, and defend against the mountains!"
Xi Xiongtu looked at the drawings on the table and fell into a brief thought. The generals were also silent for a moment, and a rough voice sounded from one side: "Commander, I think what Master Shen said is not unreasonable!"
"Yes, Commander, the war has been going on for so long, but the brothers are all holding back their energy!"
"Hey, we are not afraid of war. If it weren't for those people in Beijing holding us back..."
"shut up!"
Xi Xiongtu's face hardened and he sighed sadly: "Master Shen, please tell me in detail!"
"Um!"
Ning Fan said with a smile: "I know that the fault of the defeat the day before yesterday does not lie with the commander, nor with all of you."
"His Majesty is already dealing with matters at the rear."
"I also killed a number of people before I came here."
"Now, I have a secret to sneak into Liyang City."
"Um?"
Xi Xiongtu's eyes suddenly opened, with a hint of shock in his eyes, and he looked straight at Ning Fan: "Master Shen, are you serious about this?"
"No jokes in the army!"
"good!"
Xi Xiongtu slammed the table with a look of excitement on his face: "If we can recapture Liyang City, the situation of the war will be turned around in an instant!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Somebody come!"
"exist!"
"Beat the drum and gather the generals."
"promise!"
Not long after, I saw figures striding in. In the short time of half a stick of incense, all the high-ranking generals of Dali gathered in the handsome tent, standing on both sides, and some who had just arrived looked at them curiously. Ning Fan seemed to have no idea who this person was.
