After this round of confrontation, combined with some information he got from the inner guards, Shen Yi now has a problem with Northern Qi...
In other words, we already have a very intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Northern Qi army that conquered the South.
He already knew that the combat strength when Northern Qi attacked Gaozhuang on the first night was not conventional combat strength.
Those who subsequently attacked Gaozhuang from the Northern Qi Dynasty were the regular combat strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
In terms of average combat effectiveness, this Northern Qi army should be on par with the officers and soldiers of the Coastal Dusi.
But Shen Yi's disadvantage lies in the number of people.
He only has 20,000 troops under his command, and so far, more than 2,000 have been injured or killed.
Already one out of ten. Legs
If Shen Yi had 40,000 to 50,000 people at his disposal, he could sit firmly in Huai'an and watch the battle. With the favorable location, he could firmly hold the entire Huai'an defense line.
But it is a pity that only 10,000 people can use it now.
At this time, you can't be passively beaten, but you have to think of some ideas.
For example, go to the other side of the river to cause trouble.
Ling Su lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Mr. Shen, it is probably not realistic to send people over in large numbers, but there is no problem in secretly sending some people over at night to weakly defended areas of the enemy... "
"The key is, how many people do you want to send..."
Shen Yi stretched out and said, "It will take at least two or three hundred people to use it."
"Send it to the west of the Huai'an defense line and to the north of the Huaihe Navy defense line."
Shen Yi said expressionlessly: "Go kill some Qi people stationed along the Huaihe River."
"Take down some of their outposts."
Ling Su lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Mr. Shen, if we prepare in advance and deploy some small boats to go over, then it won't be a problem to send two to three hundred people over at night. But the problem is, they went there after…"
"Why come back..."
Mr. Shen looked calm and said, "I have my own way of doing this. General Ling just needs to find a way to send people to the other side for me."
He looked at Ling Su and said: "These two hundred and three hundred people must be elites. So, you and Xue Wei each have one hundred and fifty people. If you are good at it, it is best to have Japanese pirates on your hands." Human-headed." Legs
"I will give them the clothes of the Huaihe Navy and let them attack one or two Qi people's outposts along the Huaihe River at night."
Hearing this, Ling Su slowly raised his head to look at Shen Yi, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, my subordinates will go prepare now."
He took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said: "If Duke Shen needs it, my subordinates are willing to lead these three hundred people to the other side to carry out Duke Shen's mission!"
"You don't need to go."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "This along the Huai defense line, I need you to take charge of the situation. Just select more than a hundred people for me. As for how they escape after finishing their errands, I will also arrange it."
Ling Su immediately bowed his head respectfully: "I obey!"
…………leg
In the evening two days later.
More than two hundred people appeared at the western end of Huai'an Mansion.
This place is still the defensive area of the coastal capital, and a little further to the west is the boundary of the Huaihe Navy.
Shen Yi, who was dressed in black, looked at the more than two hundred young people in black in front of him and said slowly: "Everyone, the ship has been prepared for you. After dark, we will go to the north shore at night."
"Two or three miles further to the west, there is a Qi people outpost, with a total of fifty people inside."
"The Qi people are along the Huaihe River, and there is one outpost for five miles. If you have time, you can kill another outpost to the west. If you are too late, there is no need to force it, just take the boat back to the south bank."
Shen Yi glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded, and nodded in unison to Shen Yi: "I understand!"
Among the more than 200 people, there was a sturdy young man who took the lead. Shen Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Ten thousand households."
"If you do it more beautifully this time, I'll promote you to Qianhu."
The surname of this family was Wan Zhong. Before Shen Yi could form an anti-Japanese army, Wan Zhong and Xue Wei were both on duty at Linhai Guard.
During the fight against the Japanese pirates, Xue Wei was appreciated by Shen Yi for killing a Japanese pirate. After that, he became very prosperous and rose to his current position like a rocket.
And at that time, Wan Zhong... also killed a Japanese pirate!
It was a pity that when he was fighting with the Japanese pirates, he was also stabbed by the Japanese pirates. He was seriously injured and had to stay in bed to recuperate. By the time he recovered from his injuries and returned to the anti-Japanese army, he had lost the initial rapid rise of his legs.
As a result, until now, with Wan Zhong’s qualifications, it is still only a hundred households.
However, Wan Zhong was a man with good skills and courage. This time, Shen Yi arranged to be the person in charge of the operation.
Wan Zhong knelt on the ground, bowed his head respectfully and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, my subordinates will definitely live up to your high expectations!"
Soon, it was getting darker and darker.
Perhaps because of God's favor, it was cloudy tonight and the moon was covered by the clouds, causing it to be almost pitch black on the river.
More than ten ships arranged in advance have quietly docked.
Wan Zhong said hello, and everyone immediately jumped on the boat. Before long, more than ten boats were filled, and Wan Zhong disappeared into the night with nearly a hundred people. Legs
Because these boats can only accommodate so many people.
After Wan Zhong and others left, Shen Yi looked back at the remaining two hundred people and said in a deep voice: "A slightly larger boat has been prepared for you. In an hour, you will set off on time to pick up people on the other side of the river. Understand Yet?"
Two hundred people nodded in unison, bowed and clasped their fists: "I understand!"
While Shen Yi was talking to others, Wan Zhong and others had quietly reached the other side of the river.
The boat slowly pulled over and got behind the reeds.
Wan Zhong said hello behind him, and the seven or eight people on the boat immediately understood, pulled out their daggers, and followed Wan Zhong!
Wan Zhong took a deep breath and was about to plan his next move when suddenly the light of a lantern came from the shore, followed by a shout: "Who is that person?!"
Wan Zhong waved his big hand violently!
A crossbow arrow immediately flew out and hit the man in the chest. The man screamed several times and finally fell to the ground.
Wan Zhong took a deep breath, drew his sword out of its sheath, and shouted lowly: "Brothers, the time has come to make contributions!"
These people can be said to be the elite of the coastal capitals. They followed Wan Zhong and quickly and quietly approached the first sentry point.
There are two guard towers here, and dozens of Northern Qi soldiers are stationed here.
Along the way, Wan Zhong and others were surprised and killed four or five soldiers patrolling Qi.
However, this also aroused the vigilance of the sentry point. When Wan Zhong and others approached, torches were already lit in the sentry point, illuminating the two sentry towers and the vicinity of the sentry tower with bright lights! Legs
Wan Zhong raised his head and glanced at the sky, and made an immediate decision: "Brothers!"
"It's too late to lurk. These Qi people are nothing special. Let's destroy this outpost immediately!"
After that, he shouted angrily and took the lead!
"follow me!"
With the sound of swords being drawn out of their sheaths, dozens of ordinary soldiers in the sentry camp were killed by this unexpected sneak attack without even putting up any decent resistance.
Less than ten people managed to escape.
Wan Zhong and others ran directly to the next sentry point without saying a word. Legs
One night, they took down two sentry posts in Beiqi!
When it was almost dawn, Wan Zhong and others ran towards the Huaihe River.
On the bank of the Huaihe River, the boat to meet them was already waiting.
At this time, the Qi army on the north bank had already noticed them and was slowly approaching them.
After Wan Zhong jumped on a boat, he started taking off his clothes without saying a word.
"Brothers, take off your black clothes!"
Everyone took off their black clothes, revealing their Huaihe Navy uniforms and legs.
Wanzhong pointed to a naval camp on the opposite bank of the Huaihe River and shouted: "Row the boat, row the boat!"
"Follow Duke Shen's instructions!"
"Paddle to the naval camp on the other side of the Huaihe River!"
