Generally speaking, the defending side does not have much room for change. This is especially true when you are at an absolute disadvantage, or even when your momentum is at a disadvantage.
Therefore, when Bailang came to the Chinese army's tent before, the sand table was basically useless, because there was no need to detail the city walls, but a new map was used for layout needs.
Now the new changes on the sand table immediately made Bailang realize something.
Not long after Bailang arrived, everyone in the big tent was already there. During this time, Bai Lang smiled and nodded to say hello to Li Youjun, who also smiled and nodded to him in return. They were just as they were when they patrolled the city together last time, and there was no undercurrent at all.
Both of them knew that the other was ill-intentioned towards them, but they had smiles on their faces. They were not pretending, they were just hiding their own thoughts. They both knew that there must be an end later.
"Okay, everyone is here. Chen Shen, tell everyone about the situation." Liu Jianyu waved his hand and asked Chen Shen to introduce the situation first.
Upon hearing this, Chen Shen saluted Liu Jianyu first, then turned to face the people below and said: "Today, the general ordered two hundred Qingqi to attack on their own initiative. They encountered an advance expedition of seventeen barbarians near Sangqiulin, which is sixteen miles away from Yongchuan City. Then he started After a fierce battle, and after paying a heavy price for more than a hundred brothers, we successfully captured two barbarians with feathers alive."
Ling Yu is similar to Hong Chao's waist badge, indicating identity, and it has the same use on Yunyan Manzi's side. What Chen Shen said was that the two tongues captured alive were not ordinary soldiers, but had actual positions in the Yunyan Army, such as school officers. This must be paving the way for what follows.
"The two barbarians were tough-mouthed, but they couldn't stand up to the torture methods of the pro-barracks. In the end, they confessed a lot of very important information."
After a pause, Chen Shen walked to the sand table and pointed to the area between Shuangqing City and Yongchuan City that Bailang had discovered when he came in, which was surrounded by the Hong Dynasty's military signs.
"This time Yun Yan divided his troops and headed north on the Changshui River. The leading general was not the coach Zeng Yunlie, but Zeng Yunlie's brother-in-law Meng Kui. This man was brave and violent, and he liked to be at the front in the battle formation, so he was sent to attack the south bank of the Changshui River. Moreover, their purpose was not to cross the river immediately and go north, but to plunder food. The boats this time were actually enough to cross the river, but they gave up and chose to send the food away along the river and continue north.
This time, Yunyan's barbarians are rushing all the way because they are worried that we will see through them in advance and come back to clear the country. However, something unexpected happened during the sudden attack.
Meng Kui was injured in the battle of Shuangqing City, and the injury was not serious. "
Chen Shen's words were unhurried and unhurried, starting from deciphering the purpose of Manzi's march, as well as Manzi's plundering strategy, and finally talking about the injury of Manzi's coach, but bit by bit he quickly lifted the mood of everyone in the big tent. got up.
Especially the last point, the news that Barbarian coach Meng Kui was injured made everyone present breathe quickly. Including whitecaps.
Even a layman like Bailang, who had just triggered the [Military Strategy] ability, knew how much trouble it would be if the leader of an army was in bad health. At least it will drag down the three armies, but at worst it will become a shield for the opponent and become the winner.
"Meng Kui was injured, and now the barbarian army has stopped marching and has set up camp in Wocandang between us and Shuangqing City.
The above is the message brought by the two tongues this time. The credibility cannot be fully confirmed, but judging from Yunyan's sudden slowdown in marching speed and what he did along the way, at least these possibilities exist. "
Chen Shen stepped aside as soon as he finished speaking.
Then Liu Jianyu, who was sitting in front of the table at the top, stood up. Walking to the edge of the sand table, he picked up a two-foot ruler rod in his hand and pointed at the basin that Chen Shen mentioned: Wocandang.
"According to what the two barbarians said, the total strength of the barbarian army heading north along the river is between 60,000 and 110,000. The specific number is very vague. This is in line with the basic confidentiality situation in the army. The military strength has always been only commanded by the highest level. Military personnel know.
It is not known what kind of injury Meng Kui suffered, but it is very unreasonable for the army to suddenly set up camp from a state of rapid attack. The previous battles had not stopped, and they were completely unafraid of the destructive offensive. There was no reason to stop when they were approaching the last city.
Therefore, I judged that Meng Kui was not only injured, but also seriously injured. So much so that it was impossible to move forward slowly to calm the morale of the troops, so they could only stop and rest halfway.
What do you think this is?
It's a fighter plane! This is the first great fighter plane we have encountered since the beginning of this war!
The enemy's weakness is our direction!
I am ready to take the initiative to launch a surprise attack on this Yanyun barbarian! Do you have any comments? "
Liu Jianyu's words lasted only three or four breaths, and the big tent immediately became noisy. The deputy generals below were inexplicably horrified. The first reaction is whether Liu Jianyu is crazy? Abandon the fortified city and the long-prepared defenses, and run into the wild to fight the Yunyan barbarians! Isn't this using one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points?
What's more, think about the two hundred cavalry sent out before, which were already elite. With the help of four Qi practitioners, they had to fight against seventeen barbarians and half of them were killed before capturing two of them alive. The huge gap in combat power is simply terrifying. Under such circumstances, do you still want to go out for a field battle?
The most critical point, as Chen Shen also mentioned just now, is that the barbarian army outside is at least 90,000 strong, but what about Yongchuan City? There are only just over ten thousand people, and nearly a thousand of them are strong men who have been put together temporarily. These people are barely able to defend the city, but fighting in the field? I'm afraid that I won't even be able to move through the battle formation, and I'm still fighting in the wild!
As usual, Bailang stood on the sidelines and did not participate in the military strategy debate, but he also felt that Liu Jianyu's move was crazy. Ten thousand versus one hundred thousand? It is also known that the individual combat strength of a party of 100,000 people is nearly ten times that of a party of 10,000 people. Taking into account the double difference in numbers, it is not an exaggeration to say that the combat strength is almost a "hundred-fold difference." This disparity in strength seems like someone seeking death by striking an egg against a stone.
However, while Bai Lang felt that Liu Jianyu was crazy, he also felt that there might be something fishy about being "crazy". It's impossible for a general in the army who has done everything before to be able to see these superficial power comparisons clearly, right? Since it was proposed, there must be something to rely on, even if the single-wheel purpose seems so unrealistic.
So after Bai Lang listened to the debate around him for a while, he looked at Liu Jianyu with such a look on his face. I saw Liu Jianyu's face was calm, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
Then the ruler pole in Liu Jianyu's hand moved slightly from "Wocandang" to the north by almost three inches, and pointed at a place with a special group logo inside.
"This will be the key to our surprise attack!"
Everyone looked at where Liu Jianyu's ruler pole fell, and suddenly there was silence in the big tent. Bai Lang exclaimed in a low voice with a slightly trembling tone: "Jiupanba?!"
