Fu Hongzhi rolled his eyes and laughed loudly: "Xu Daofu, don't be too bragging here. I have already seen clearly the situation here. It was just a sneak attack with the Qianlong warship. That's all."
Damn it, you can dive underwater from upstream and get here directly. However, the loading capacity of your Qianlong warship is limited after all. Looking at the ship you parked here, it only has 30,000 troops at most. Huh, I, Jingzhou, have
There are hundreds of thousands of troops. If you want a decisive battle, just come over here."
Xu Daofu smiled and shook his head: "What you see is just what I want you to see. Since I dare to ask for a fight, I am sure of victory. As for my true strength, you will be on the battlefield when the time comes."
Just meet me. Also, don’t brag to me here. Your Jingzhou Army only has 20,000 to 30,000 people. Lu Zongzhi led his troops and left without being able to come back. If there really is an army of 100,000 people, why not stay here?
Are you just going to put a thousand men at Wulindu and let me capture it effortlessly?"
Fu Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "That's just because there was a traitor among us and you succeeded in the sneak attack. You won't be so lucky in the next decisive battle."
Xu Daofu's eyes flashed coldly: "There are even our people in this mere thousand-man garrison, and even in your Liu Daogui's personal guard team. How do you know how many people in this Jingzhou army have people's aspirations?"
What about us? Fu Hongzhi, when you were in the Chu army, you once saw thousands of Beifu troops defecting in front of the formation and killing the Chu army. You will see this kind of thing again soon, hahahaha.
"
The disciples behind Xu Daofu shouted in unison: "The heavenly master is so powerful that he kills demons and demons. Those who obey will prosper, and those who go against will perish!"
Fu Hongzhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said bitterly: "See you tomorrow in Qingpingyuan." As he said this, he raised his hand and waved back. The more than a thousand riders behind him reined in their horses and turned around, heading directly towards
As they galloped away, a puff of smoke suddenly rose up, and they were soon engulfed in the smoke, never to be seen again.
Xu Daofu watched their backs go away coldly. A gust of wind blew, and the smoke with the smell of horses blew over the Tianshidao sergeants who were arrayed in front of the stronghold. Xu Daofu curled up the corner of his mouth and patted
Xu Daoan dusted himself off and said, "Are we just going to let these cavalry leave like this? It's not good to let them see our reality. Why not use the terrain to pursue or ambush them?"
Xu Daofu shook his head: "Our army did not spread out. We only moved out of Zatoichi with only 3,000 people. If they were able to go around to our camp, they obviously avoided the main road. If they want to set up an ambush now,
It's too late, and the cavalry comes and goes like the wind. Fu Hongzhi was a famous cavalry general when he was in the Chu army. He must have scouted the cavalry everywhere to make sure they were safe before leaving. We can't keep them."
Li Nanfeng frowned: "So, what Master just said was a deliberate deception? The more we admit that we only have 30,000 troops, the less likely they will believe it, right?"
Xu Daofu laughed: "This art of war is false and true, true and false. Fu Hongzhi suddenly killed us, which was beyond our expectation, but he didn't know our true strength. Only then did he discover
He was facing me, trying to get some words out of my mouth or find out the truth, but I just followed his words, which made them confused about the truth. I proposed a decisive battle tomorrow, which showed my absolute confidence.
, he told me that he has an army of 100,000, huh, Liu Daogui can use it now, and if he has 20,000, I will take his surname."
Xu Daoan smiled and said: "Then the Jin army will not dare to come to Qingping Plain tomorrow."
Xu Daofu shook his head: "Whether we come or not, we have to go to Qingping Plain to form an array. If they are willing to come, then we will fight decisively. If they are unwilling to come, then we will march into the Matou camp to block the enemy's advance.
, and at the same time send troops to occupy all the counties and villages in eastern Han Dynasty, force them to surrender, and act according to what we discussed before."
Li Nanfeng gritted his teeth: "If it really is a decisive battle, can we win? Should we wait a little longer and let the Qianlong fleet go to Changsha in Jingnan to transport more reinforcements and then fight?"
Xu Daofu's eyes flashed coldly: "We are transporting troops from Changsha in the south of Jingnan. Not to mention whether these local forces are willing to come to help, even if they are willing to come, it will take us several days to ship and transport the ten or twenty thousand people.
Days have passed, and we still don’t know whether the Jin army will dispatch warships to ambush the river. Even if everything goes well, how can we dispatch these troops with average combat effectiveness from afar compared to Liu Daogui’s recruitment of strong men in Jingzhou? "
"What we want to dispatch troops this time is a quick attack. What we want is to use elite troops and strong generals to launch a surprise attack. The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. Liu Daogui asked Lu Zongzhi to return to the army, and sent Zhu Chaoshi to Jiangxi.
Zhou, how many troops does he have here? This is a golden opportunity given to us by God. We had this kind of opportunity once in Jiankang. Unfortunately, Brother Lu was indecisive and missed it in vain. This time, we must not lose it again.
."
Having said this, he turned to look at Xu Daoan: "Send me the command, and all the sergeants, including the sailors and boatmen on the ship, will speed up the landing. Within two hours, they will all enter the camp, and then all the Qianlong warships will be sent to the camp."
Burn it down. I want everyone within hundreds of miles to see this soaring fire. Have a good rest tonight. Make food at the fourth watch and set off at the fifth watch. Before tomorrow's hour, the entire army will rush to Qingping Plain to kill the Jin dogs and seize Jingzhou.
!”
Five miles west of Qingping Plain, there is a continuous small high hill.
General Tan Zhi, wearing a large robe and armor, was sitting on a hut bed. In front of him, four thousand soldiers were rushing back and forth. The sound of gongs and drums was endless, accompanied by the rough roars of the officers and the rapid sound of clappers.
The sergeants in the array are forming up, with the heavy-armed gunners in front, the archers in the back, and behind them are groups of jumping soldiers, mainly Dongman warriors. Between the square military formations,
The civilians and auxiliary soldiers quickly pushed the heavy baggage vehicles forward, set up these vehicle formations at the front of the array, and began to install baffles and wooden rafts on the vehicles.
Hundreds of cavalry gathered on both wings of the four to five mile wide formation. The knights who were in place jumped off their horses, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to check their equipment.
Tan Shihuai's voice was trembling with excitement: "Is it really going to be a decisive battle? Lord, are we really going to face the demon thief in a decisive battle tomorrow?"
Tan Zhi said calmly: "It depends on the results of Hongzhi's front reconnaissance. If the enemy's force is strong, then we cannot rush to a decisive battle. We have to face the enemy in this formation and slowly retreat. The baggage is heavy now.
The car blocking the front is used as a barrier and obstacle. If the enemy remains stationary, we can move out of Wulin or camp here depending on the situation."
