Chapter 393: Analyze the enemy situation, leave the city and head north
Having said this, Shen Tang looked at everyone. Everyone nodded, and Shen Tang continued: "Because, after taking Xiashui Town, the soldiers on the Great Wall lost their backup and support. There is no way forward. , there is no way to retreat. The Xixia army does not need to do anything at all, they can switch from offense to defense and directly trap our men and horses on the Great Wall there."
"The Xixia Army outside our city and the Xixia reinforcements here are all on the same side. Although we are far away from here, Xiashui Town is difficult to travel through barren mountains. In other words, it will take about four days for the reinforcements of the Xixia Army to arrive in Xiashui Town. "
"We originally had more than 30,000 troops in Xiashui Town. Adding in the 20,000 troops of Generals Heihan and Zhuo, our garrison will reach 50,000!"
"The best case scenario is, of course, that Xiashui Town is well defended and the Xixia Army has not captured it. In this case, as long as we arrive and directly cut off the Xixia Army's retreat and supplies, then the battle will be a complete victory. However, according to my plan It is estimated that the probability of this happening is extremely small.”
"The people who calm down Xiashui will gather a large number of people on the Great Wall. The defenders of Xiashui Town will not exceed 10,000 at most. In addition, the main defense of Xiashui Town is in the direction of the pass to the north, but the defense in the south is It is extremely weak. According to what I know, there is a sewer channel as a moat in the north, but there is no moat in the south, and the city walls are extremely short and dilapidated. Under such circumstances, there is no reason why the Xixia Army cannot attack Xiashui Town."
"Once Xiashui Town is captured by the Xixia Army, our current troops will gather on the Great Wall. According to our tradition, the food and grass they carry should not exceed seven days."
"In this case, the Xixia Army should not choose to fight head-on. After all, even if they have the advantage, once they push tens of thousands of troops to death, they will suffer great damage. Therefore, it is very likely that they will go into the water now. The town has fallen into the hands of the Xixia people, but they have not completely wiped out our army in Xiashui Town. Now, both sides are in a confrontation."
"And this gives us a chance!"
Everyone in Yi Ciduo opened their eyes wide and listened to Shen Tang's narration as if they were listening to heavenly scriptures. The Jin Kingdom's combat power was indeed extremely powerful. However, in terms of strategy and battlefield control, it was far inferior to the Central Plains Dynasty. The cultural heritage of the Central Plains Dynasty has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is really not comparable to these tribes that have just developed for a few decades. Therefore, most of the time, the Jin Kingdom's battles rely on head-on strength, even the so-called strategy. Most of them are just battlefield response or sensitivity to the battlefield.
At this moment, Shen Tang will present the next battle in front of their eyes, from the comparison of strength to the formation of troops, from the terrain and the intentions of the enemy and ourselves. They almost feel that they have seen the entire battlefield process and As a result, you only need to follow Shen Tang's words step by step, and there is no need to think about anything else.
For soldiers on the battlefield and ordinary generals, this is really a happy thing.
After a long while, Shen Tang finished his story. Then, he said, "Now, let all the soldiers prepare food for at least three days. When midnight comes, we will set off northward. "
"As you command!"
After making arrangements, Shen Tang sighed softly and wanted to go back and tell Wanyan Yue about this matter. He hoped that she would be able to go on her own without worries.
However, Shen Tang's worry was obviously not unreasonable. When he told Wanyan Yue that he was going to lead his army north, although Wanyan Yue did not refute, there was extremely obvious worry and nostalgia in his eyes.
She knew very well that the time the two of them spent together was relatively short, but now Shen Tang had to fight for Jin Guo's comfort. In fact, she didn't even know how to refute. She was very proud, because, The man I like is so good. Not only is he talented in poetry and prose, but he is also brave enough to do things like war. However, it is precisely because of this that it is difficult for them to do even the simplest of companionships. arrive.
She silently packed her luggage for Shen Tang. Shen Tang had already put on soft armor. Wanyan Yue just hugged her gently, lingering on every breath!
"General, the army is ready and ready to go to war at any time!" The words of the messenger came from outside the door, making Wanyan Yue's body tremble slightly.
"Yue'er, wait for my return." Shen Tang held up her pretty face and kissed her hard. Their lips met, and the strong manly breath came from her, making Wanyan Yue's cheeks blush. However, not only did she not avoid it, , his hands even tightened slightly, pressing himself tightly against Shen Tang's chest...
In the military camp in the city, more than 10,000 troops were ready for the expedition. Yi Ciduo and others also stood beside their war horses, just waiting for Shen Tang's arrival.
"drive!"
As the sound of soft drinks came, Shen Tang's figure appeared in everyone's sight. Shen Tang rode his horse to the front of the army and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"
brush!
More than 10,000 soldiers mounted their horses, and then, the horses' hooves stepped on the ground, and the rumbling sound shook the entire Xijing!
The horse galloped, and the north gate had already been opened. Shen Tang took the lead and ran away. However, after running out, he suddenly turned the horse's head and looked towards the city wall. Sure enough, that beautiful figure was looking at him from a distance. Keep yourself...
"Yue'er, wait for me to come back!" Shen Tang shouted, without any hesitation, he turned around and disappeared into the distant sky in the north...
The North Road is difficult to travel. After leaving Xijing, we walked north for less than a hundred miles before entering the endless mountains! This is why Shen Tang planned to reach the distance of three hundred miles in five hours. Because of this. Traveling through this mountain is much slower than ordinary marching. Fortunately, Jin Bing has already explored the distance between Xiashui Town and Xijing countless times. As for the small roads and secluded paths in it, The records are extremely detailed, otherwise it would probably take more time.
However, although the mountain road was difficult to travel, Shen Tang and others traveled lightly and only carried three days of dry food with them. The war horses they sat on were also good horses in the army, so there were no obstacles along the way. Not subject to any obstruction.
Before I knew it, I had been running for about three hours, and the sky was gradually getting dark.
"The mountain in front of you should be Fangshan!" Shen Tang asked Yi Ciduo on the side.
Yi Ciduo nodded, "Yes, sir, after passing Fangshan Mountain, we can see the city of Xiashui Town. Xiashui Town happens to be in a mountain valley between the north of Fangshan Mountain and Baishan Mountain. "
