"good!"
Tu Dankening looked at Heihan and Zhuo with approval. Compared with those generals who only knew how to charge headlong, Heihan and Zhuo were indeed rare generals among the next generation!
"However, if we can think of this, how could Shen Tang not think of it?
We didn't take any advantage during the scouts' inspection. Each of their armies was extremely well-defended, and the scouts couldn't get close. If we want to judge their true strength, we can only rely on checking the campsites, cooking fires and other methods!"
"Shen Tang is not only shrewd, but also has the ultimate control over soldiers and horses. The situation detected by this method is simply not worthy of belief!"
Heihan and Zhuo also smiled bitterly. Facing Shen Tang, if they relied on their own strength and bravery to rush forward, it would definitely be a dead end. But otherwise, if the two sides faced each other, the other side would be like a turtle and it would be impossible to start!
"If this is the case, there is only one most stupid way left!"
Black Khan and Zhuo said.
Tu Dankening nodded, and then said to the generals in the camp, "Now, we don't know the reality of the Song army, so we need to send troops and horses to test it!"
"The Shuimen area is blocked by Shuimen Pass, so don't pay attention to it for the time being! The Song army on Monk's Plain is also facing the main force of our army, and the rest are the soldiers and horses of Bian Xi and Shao Hongyuan's troops!"
"According to the current investigation, the two armies total about 40,000 people. If this is true, then this is the main force of the Song Army! Among them, 10,000 soldiers and horses are marching to Zhouzhi on the Tangluo Road! Another group of soldiers and horses are marching along the Tangluo Road. , a total of 30,000 people will go to Xi County via Baoxie Road!"
"I wonder which general is willing to lead his troops there!"
Just as Tu Dankening finished speaking, Nasakhun, who had spoken before, stood up and shouted, "Commander, the last general is willing to lead his troops to Baoxie Road to intercept and kill the Song army under Bian Xi's command!"
Seeing that Tu Dankening was hesitant, Sakehun said loudly again, "Commander, the last general only needs to lead his own troops. If he fails to win, he is willing to be punished by military law!"
"That's fine!"
Tu Dankening nodded. Although he is the commander here, he still needs to take into account the attitudes of all the troops. If he insists on blocking it, he will make the generals dissatisfied!
"You have 4,000 soldiers and horses. I will send three more generals, each with 1,000 troops, and join you with 7,000 troops! Go and test the strength of the Song army! This battle does not require a deadly fight with the Song army, you only need to test the enemy. Whether the army is weak or not, I will be your leader!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Sa Kehun is overjoyed!
"I still need an army to go to the Zhouzhi area! However, this army is not mainly for fighting, but for defending the Song army! As long as they don't let them capture Zhouzhi, it will be a great achievement! "
"Commander, the general is willing to go!"
The person who made the statement was none other than the general of the West Route Army, Wu Gu Lunda, under the command of Tu Dankening!
Regarding Wu Gu Lunda, Tu Dankening was relieved, nodded in approval and said, "If you go, I will be relieved! I will allocate five thousand troops to you, and you must not let Zhou Zhi fail!"
"I will obey your orders!"
After finishing speaking, Tu Dankening turned to Heihan and Zhuo and said, "Heihan and Zhuo, do you have any idea to meet the idol you admire?"
Heihan and Zhuo grinned, "That's exactly what I meant!"
"That's fine! Then you can choose a day to march and lead 15,000 troops to Chencang Mountain!"
After finishing speaking, he warned again, "Among the generals, you know Shen Tang best, so this battle should also be based on testing. If you are not sure, don't fight to the death hastily!"
Heihan and Zhuo nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Commander, I will keep this in mind!"
Afterwards, groups of soldiers and horses also scattered out from the Jinbing camp!
I won’t talk about other soldiers and horses, but only Bian Xi’s soldiers and horses!
After receiving Shen Tang's order, Bian Xi immediately led his troops along the Xieshui into the Baoxie Road and headed towards the Xie Valley! Bian Xi put all the baggage of some of the army behind him, and led eight thousand cavalry, with only To provide the army with food and fodder for more than ten days, we headed north quickly, and on the first day, we marched thirty miles!
At sunset that day, the army camped on the spot!
After dinner, Bian Xi returned to the big tent and continued to check the geological survey route!
"General, we are still about fifty miles away from the Xiegu area. We will continue to the north after leaving Xiegu. Thirty miles away is Yi County! Judging from the reaction of the Jin soldiers, they will definitely enter Baoxie Road to intercept and kill our troops!"
One of the generals said in a solemn voice.
Bian Xi nodded, "This is what was expected. Tu Danke Ning is not someone to be trifled with! Back then, our Song Army suffered many defeats at his hands! However, now we are marching in accordance with the commander's orders. It’s hard to tell the truth from the truth, and the Jin soldiers will not rush out a large number of troops. After all, the main force of the commander is stationed in Monk Plains!"
"If they send out too many soldiers and horses, I'm afraid the commander-in-chief will have the opportunity to directly attack their camp!"
"So, this battle should be based on testing!"
"The commander-in-chief said that our soldiers and horses should have the power of thunder, so we must win this battle! In addition, if we send more scouting horses ten miles ahead, this place will be full of barren mountains. If we are ambushed by the Jin soldiers, what will happen? It’s dangerous!”
In the early morning of the second day, Bian Xi's troops marched again, and the journey was equally smooth. By the early morning of the third day, there were still twenty miles away from the land of Xiegu!
"If everything goes well, we will be able to reach the Xie Valley at sunset today!"
Bian Xi nodded and told the lieutenant beside him, "We have been marching for two days. Let the scouts be more careful!"
Then, the army set off again, marching another ten miles in half a day, only ten miles away from the Xie Valley! However, at this moment, a scout from the front sent a message!
"General, our brothers discovered the Jin soldiers a few miles ahead. The two sides struggled for a while, and each retreated after being injured! Although they temporarily failed to discover the Jin soldiers, they found something strange a few miles away. There may be Jin soldiers. Soldiers and horses ambush!"
Bian Xi couldn't help but look condensed when he heard this!
"The scouts are investigating again! The entire army is ordered to temporarily stop and camp, and all troops and horses are on standby to fight at any time!"
About six or seven miles in front of Bian Xi's troops, there was indeed a large army. These were the troops of Sake Hun who were ordered to intercept and kill them!
According to Sakehun's wishes, he could just go over and fight Bian Xi's tribe. However, he was persuaded by several generals to stop him, and then the army was deployed along the barren hills on both sides to see if the Song army would fall into the trap!
"General, our scouts encountered the enemy's scouts. I guess they have already guessed where our army is!"
After listening to the scout's report, Sakehun glanced dissatisfiedly at the general beside him, "Then the general of the Song Army is not a man who doesn't know how to fight. How could he fall into such a simple plan! Now, we don't have to kill him directly. past?"
"General, if we block the road here, wouldn't it be better to wait for the Song army to come?"
