In the early morning of the third day after the war, Bian Xi and others finally received Zhang Jun's order.
After reading the order, the eyes of everyone present were all focused on Ye Xiao. Although everyone present was a warrior on the battlefield, they admired Ye Xiao extremely for his strategy.
In the previous battle, if it weren't for Ye Xiao's plan, even if they could defend Lingbi City, they would have suffered heavy losses, let alone trying to annihilate 40,000 golden soldiers.
Therefore, with the new order, everyone is waiting for Yexiao to come up with a plan.
Ye Xiao smiled bitterly, and then began to consider it carefully.
After a long while, Ye Xiao finally said: "Facts have proved that our previous analysis was indeed correct. And now, Prime Minister Zhang has also realized this. Therefore, he has just prepared to let the main force on the front line withdraw first, and wait until the strategy is planned, No further action or war."
"In other words, the first prerequisite for us to go to Suzhou now is to join the army in front and successfully return to Lingbi. If we can avoid fighting, we should try to avoid fighting."
Deng Jie scratched his head, "Well... Mr. Shen, Old Deng, of course I have no objection to what you said. However, since there are golden soldiers ahead, why don't we have a big fight? We are in a strong position and can annihilate them all." Forty thousand golden soldiers and cavalry. However, according to what the young master said, the golden soldiers in front should not be more than the golden soldiers here."
"We have an advantage. Wouldn't it be a good thing if we could win another big victory?"
Shen Tang looked at the few people and saw Xin Qiji frowning in deep thought, and the other people all seemed to agree.
"No!" Shen Tang's expression immediately became extremely serious, "Everyone, on the battlefield, you need to stay awake at all times, let alone get lost because of victory. Just like before, the reason why Prime Minister Zhang did not agree with our views, Hong County The Japanese-chasing army also ignored our warnings, and the biggest reason was the two previous victories our army had achieved."
"Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent! If the strategy is right, it will not be surprising even if a thousand people kill ten thousand. However, if a war is started rashly, even an army of tens of thousands may be destroyed by hundreds of soldiers."
"Our previous battle was naturally due to everyone's desperate charge. However, there were too many surprises and variables."
"First of all, although Lingbi City is small, it is enough to block the charge of the Jin soldiers. Let the Jin soldiers abandon their cavalry and attack the city, which is equivalent to abolishing their martial arts. Three days of bloody battles have worn down the fighting spirit of the Jin soldiers to the limit. The calmness of the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army was also directly broken. Therefore, bigger mistakes were made. Furthermore, we had divided our troops before and made extremely thorough preparations. Moreover, we gave the Jin Army a fatal blow at the most critical moment. Attack! Therefore, various reasons have just made us win this war."
"If the commander-in-chief of the Jin army doesn't pay attention to our arrangements at all, then it will be a tough battle in the end! Or if brother Xin fails to attack the camp, even if they disrupt the enemy, they still have enough power to compete with us. .”
"Don't talk about changing the battle, even if it is the same war, it is impossible to replicate it again, let alone going to Suzhou at this moment?"
"If a war breaks out in this industry, there are only two possibilities."
"First, it is halfway up the road. We have guessed before that the Jin soldiers will set up an ambush halfway to intercept the main army in front! If we encounter it, then the enemy will be waiting for work, while we will go on an expedition with exhausted troops! The response of the Jin soldiers is reserved for the tens of thousands of main troops. If we run into it head-on, the result can be imagined."
"The second possible place for fighting is that the army in front did not withdraw in time and is still outside Suzhou. Then, we will have a big battle outside Suzhou. Then, whether it is an siege or a field battle, None of us have any advantage."
"You are all veteran generals in the army. You can think about it, if we are in a field battle, whether tens of thousands of our soldiers can withstand the charge of the Jin soldiers and cavalry..."
Shen Tang's words made everyone in Deng Jie shudder! It's not that they didn't understand the Jin soldiers. On the contrary, they had fought against the Jin soldiers and cavalry many times, so they had a deep understanding of the power of the Jin soldiers. This time they won a great victory. Let them forget the painful lessons they had learned before. Now, Shen Tang's words, like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, made them realize that it was not that the Jin soldiers had retreated, but that Shen Tang's plan was so powerful that he did not let the Jin army show its true power at all. Just come out.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Deng Jie nodded hurriedly, "Fortunately, Mr. Shen reminded me, otherwise, if I, Old Deng, had followed my instructions and led the army to rush over, then Old Deng's head would be worthless. If it hurts A group of sons and brothers is a great sin."
After Shen Tang’s explanation, everyone finally understood that this business was indeed as Shen Tang said. If it was unnecessary, it would be better not to have any war. As long as the army in front was brought back, it would be a great achievement. pieces.
"Third brother, can you tell us how we should arrange it?" Bian Xi asked, "I think whether we fight or not is not under our control. For example, if we encounter the golden soldiers who block the road and kill them, , won’t they take the initiative?”
Shen Tang smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry, brother, I already have a clever plan for this trip, which will definitely prevent those golden soldiers from tampering!"
Go west from Lingbi City and keep going along the Bianshui River. About three to four hundred miles away, you will reach Suzhou!
In the middle of the two places, there is a place called Woniu Mountain! This Woniu Mountain is adjacent to the Bian River, but beside the Bian River there is a straight official road running across the Bian River and Woniu Mountain. As for the other side of the Bian River. On one side, there is a mountain wall of nearly a hundred feet! Apes may be able to cross it lightly, but soldiers cannot climb it. Not to mention the Bian River, as I said before, the Bian River has many forked roads and tidal flats, no matter how small it is It is quite dangerous to sail a boat through it.
There are no cities or villages around this place. This Woniu Mountain is also a dense forest of weeds! However, at this moment, on the hillside of Woniu Mountain, there are dense crowds of people moving around from time to time, and even the low neighing of horses.
Ye Xiao guessed well. The Jin soldiers had indeed separated into a team, preparing to ambush and kill the main force of the Song army who might return in front.
And the ambush location they chose was the naturally dangerous place of Woniu Mountain!
The terrain is long and narrow, with mountains already occupied by Jin soldiers on one side, and the endlessly flowing Bianshui River on the other! According to the Jin army's plan, as long as the Song army retreats here, the long Bianshui River will become the Song Dynasty. The place where the army died. Of course, even if the Song army does not retreat, it does not matter. This official road is the only way from Lingbi to Suzhou. The main force of the Song army in front always needs food and grass to eat horses and chews, and according to the front line, they The food and grass can last for about three to five days at most.
If they don't retreat, they will directly mutiny and blow up the camp, and there may be no need for Jin soldiers to take action at all.
