Chapter 4454: Pursuing with light troops is not advisable

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Liu Yi sighed: "It can indeed be completed in one month, but in this month, if the monsters and thieves attack Jingzhou with all their strength, can Daogui hold up?"

The cheerful smiles of the generals suddenly froze on their faces. Liu Yi's words revealed everyone's worries. Yes, if Jingzhou faces an all-out attack by an army of 200,000 Celestial Masters, how can it survive this time?

Can you survive? This is not the time when Lu Xunxu and Daofu first raised their troops, with only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, nor is it the time when the naval fleet attacked Jiangling, but this is what we have to face in the past few months, which has been as heavy as Mount Tai.

The huge pressure on the generals in Jiankang City has assembled the largest force since Tianshi Dao raised his troops. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the browser directly.\nCOM website to watch the fastest chapter updates)

Think about this time in the Jiankang Defense War, the situation was once in critical condition, but with the continuous reinforcements from the rear, the situation is getting better every day. However, there is no possibility of new reinforcements in Jingzhou. The existing troops, even if they are

Can Liu Daogui's generals really be able to withstand this demon thief's full blow to open up a way out?

Zhu Lingshi's expression was serious and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Jinu, I think this time we can't let all the pressure from the demon thieves be directed at Brother Daogui in Jingzhou. They have been holding on behind enemy lines for more than a year. It's very unfortunate."

It's easy. Even now, we haven't received any news about the situation there for nearly two months. The demon thieves have cut off all our contacts. I'm afraid they don't know our situation there. If Brother Daogui and the others organize an army to attack,

If we run into an army of demon thieves head-on and are destroyed or severely damaged on the way, then Jiangling City will not have enough troops to defend it. We cannot sit back and watch like this, we must do something."

Liu Yu said calmly: "What do you think we can do?"

Zhu Lingshi gritted his teeth: "I think we should launch troops to attack now. The plan of attacking by sea remains unchanged. The other hundred sea ships should not wait for transformation. We cannot wait for the Huanglong warship to be completed. We are now

We should pursue, advance by land and water, and attack Liyang. In addition, the soldiers and horses on the north side of the Yangtze River, especially the cavalry, cannot be idle. They need to open up the western Henan passage, leave Jiangxia from the Dabie Mountains, and contact Jingzhou. At least, they must know Jingzhou

What’s the situation now?”

Liu Yu nodded: "This is a good idea, but as you said we will attack now, the main force should be the current defenders. How many troops are prepared to dispatch?"

Zhu Lingshi frowned: "I think that 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses, advancing by land and water, will take Liyang first, defeat the rearguard of the monster thieves, let the main force feel the pressure, and then turn around and continue fighting on the Anqing and Xunyang front lines.

Let's confront each other, so that they won't let their entire army press on Jingzhou."

At this point, Zhu Lingshi's lips curled up: "As for the northern front, the attack force in the Dabie Mountains area is enough from 5,000 to 8,000 men. It's not that this force will play a big role in the battle situation in Jingzhou, but it is to open up the battle.

Contact us and convey our combat plan to Brother Daogui so that he can firmly hold Jiangling City."

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It's a good idea, but it doesn't fit in with my plan. First of all, Big Stone, you may have misjudged Dao Lu. If Dao Lu had the intention to attack, he would have already launched an army to march eastward. He wouldn't say

Two or three months later, there is no news from there."

A trace of confusion flashed in Yu Qiujin's eyes, and he asked in surprise: "Is there another possibility, that Jingzhou has been defeated and fell?"

Xiang Mi glared at Yu Qiujin angrily: "I'm telling you, little noble son, can you be kind and don't say these depressing words all day long? We all know what the Taoist rules are, and we will never fall into this trap.

The evil thief’s plan was careless and lost Jingzhou.”

Sun Chu said solemnly: "Tieniu, don't be too careless in everything. It's okay to anticipate the enemy and assume the worst. When the demon thieves first rose up, Taoist regulations didn't send reinforcements to the east. I think

We had to attack the monster thieves together with Wuji, but the 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Wang Zhen never returned, which directly led to the difficulty of the subsequent defense battle of Jingzhou. This was only a year ago, how could we forget it so quickly?"

Liu Yi frowned: "Sandanzi, don't worry too much. That time was mainly because the demon thief was cunning and made a time lag to defeat Wuji first and then destroy Wang Zhenzhi. Our two armies did not coordinate well.

, If Wuji had been more steady and not taken risks, this would not have been the result. With the lessons learned last time, I think Daogui will not make the same mistake again. Besides, if Jingzhou really makes mistakes, Zhao Yao Thief will

With his own virtue, he would definitely take the heads and corpses of the soldiers who died in battle, especially the senior generals, outside the city to show off their power, just like they did when they first came to besiege Jiankang."

Everyone nodded as if they suddenly understood. Even Xiang Mi was impressed: "Brother Xile is still thoughtful. It seems that Jingzhou is safe now."

Liu Yu said seriously: "What Xile said is absolutely true. Jingzhou should still be firmly in our hands. Once you have suffered a loss in the Taoist regulations, you will know that water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near. When the strength is insufficient, advancing rashly will only lead to

If you are ambushed by demon thieves, the best strategy is to control Jingzhou and wait for opportunities to attack Changsha or Baling to cut off the demon thieves' food routes."

"It's a pity that the demon thieves captured a large amount of our military supplies in the previous battle. Even if the food route was cut off and the escape route was lost, they could still support us for about half a year. Now they still have food in their hands and are not panicked, so in this

It's time to retreat and go back to attack Yu Yue in Jiangzhou and Daogui in Jingzhou, and this is exactly what I want them to do."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed. Liu Jingxuan also widened his eyes: "Jinu, isn't it? Are you deliberately trying to see the monsters and thieves attacking Jingzhou?"

Liu Yu nodded: "Exactly, the demon thieves took the initiative to evacuate this time, and the main force is still there. Then this main force can only make two choices, either as before, set up an ambush again, and want to take advantage of us to rush to rescue or

With the heart of pursuit, we set up another ambush. Since the demon thieves have the advantage of water force and they retreated on their own initiative, they choose the location of the ambush. At this time, our army lacks water power and cannot advance by land and water. The most it can do is push to Liyang.

If we continue to advance in this area, it will be dangerous."

Shen Linzi said thoughtfully: "That's great. Only capturing Liyang will not improve the situation. If we continue to move forward, the ships entering the river will gradually become difficult to move and hit the rocks.

If there are too many places, it may even sink directly. If the navy cannot advance together, the army will be easily ambushed, just like Xile Ge."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Liu Yi's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, so don't make my mistake and advance lightly. However, if we don't attack, the demon thieves will definitely attack Jingzhou with all their main force."

, go straight to Jiangling and send slaves, are you sure you want Daogui to survive on his own? Jingzhou is not Jiankang, and the people there may not be of the same mind as us. Have you considered this? "
