The only legion of the Feng Army that is currently involved in the Fengmo War that is not fighting on the front line is the Feilong Army. Previously, the Feilong Army was responsible for supporting the Pingyuan Army and fought a large-scale border battle. The losses were not small. In addition, the Feng Army suffered a lot of losses.
The occupied towns also needed to be rectified, so the Feilong Army stayed in the rear and was responsible for logistics work while resting. The reason why Qiu Zhen mentioned that the Feilong Army could not be mobilized was that he had judged that the battle of Surabaya would be extremely difficult, so the directly subordinate army
With the strength of the army, it is not easy to capture the entire Sishui County. When the war enters a stalemate, Tang Yin will definitely think of deploying the Feilong Army to join the war. This is what Qiu Zhen is afraid of.
With the Feilong Army in the rear, it can not only stabilize the situation in the counties occupied by one's own side, but also serve as a powerful back-up for the front-line legion. If the front-line legion is unfortunately defeated, at least there will be reinforcements to count on and a retreat to choose from, and
If the Feilong Army is also transferred to the front line, then the Feng Army will have no backup plan. Once it fails, it will suffer an irreversible collapse.
In a war between countries, there is no room for luck. One careless move could lead to a loss, and Qiu Zhen had to prepare for the worst.
Tang Yin didn't think so much, or he didn't even consider that he would be defeated. Hearing Qiu Zhen say that he couldn't mobilize the Feilong Army, he felt confused. Why should he mobilize the Feilong Army? He had a tough-minded Fengren Army.
Why use Ning Ren? He smiled leisurely and said: "Qiu Zhen, you are thinking too much. It is enough to conquer a county in Surabaya and directly under the army."
Qiu Zhen did not dare to think that the war was as simple as Tang Yin thought, so he said seriously: "Your Majesty, all you have to do is agree with me."
Seeing his serious look and solemn expression, Tang Yin understood that if Qiu Zhen showed this expression, he would definitely pester him endlessly if he didn't agree. He smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you that I will never send troops to fight in Surabaya."
Flying Dragon Army."
Hearing this, Qiu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "In addition, the king needs to send an order to General Zuo Shuang, asking him to gather the surrendered Mo troops from all over the country as soon as possible to meet unexpected needs."
Tang Yin was too lazy to discuss these trivial matters, and waved his hand and said, "It's up to you to arrange these."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Qiu Zhen responded solemnly, took the order with his hands in hand, and said no more.
Although Lingshuang's arrival shocked the Feng Army, the differences within the Feng Army were temporarily resolved, and various opinions reached a unified consensus, which was to attack Surabaya first.
Finally, no more objections were heard. Tang Yin felt much more relaxed and began to prepare to fight south.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles. Tang Yin understood this very well. In any battle he personally directed, Feng Jun paid the most attention to intelligence.
Before the army started, Tang Yin first called Letian and Ai Jia and asked them to send out all the spies they could dispatch. They must investigate the situation in Surabaya in the shortest possible time, including the detailed information of each town and the Mo army.
The distribution of troops.
Tang Yin gave an order, and the spies from Tianyan and Diwang were fully mobilized. In the next few days, the detective reports were like a revolving lantern, and various intelligences were continuously transmitted back to Tang Yin.
Sishui County is a large county with three counties under it. There are ten cities and twenty-three villages and towns. The number of garrison troops in each city varies from tens of thousands to thousands to hundreds. Added together, there are almost one hundred thousand.
People around.
In Tang Yin's eyes, these troops are nothing to be afraid of. After all, they are local armies with limited combat power. No matter how large the troops are, they are just a ragtag group on a large-scale battlefield. What he really cares about is Mo Mo who is stationed in Sishui County.
Central Army of the People's Republic of China.
Surabaya County is the base camp for the Mozambican army to invade the Jade Kingdom. The logistics supplies for the 500,000 Mozambican soldiers who went out to the expedition are all stored in Surabaya. There are four large camps covering an area of more than ten miles, and a large number of Mozambican Central Army guards them. Of course.
, these Central Army troops of Mozambique who were unable to go to the battlefield were mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, but they had a lot of troops.
Among the four military camps of the Mo Yu army, two were used to accommodate wounded soldiers. Tens of thousands of wounded soldiers produced in the Mo Yu war were placed in these two military camps. How many of the wounded soldiers had combat effectiveness?
How many of them have no combat effectiveness, it is unclear from the investigation. The other two military camps are used to accept new soldiers. The main function is to hoard supplies, and the other is to train new soldiers and transport them to the Jade Kingdom to make up for the losses caused by the Mo army during the war.
vacancies.
If a war breaks out in Surabaya, both wounded and new soldiers can go to the battlefield, which will instantly increase the strength of the Mozambican army.
Before the battle against Surabaya began, Tang Yin did not think that Surabaya was very difficult to fight. Now through the detailed information sent back by the Sky Eye and the Earth Network, he realized that the Mo army actually had so many troops in Surabaya, which may be twice as many as the direct army.
Twice or more.
Come to think of it, this battle was much harder than he imagined. No wonder Qiu Zhen had judged a few days ago that he would mobilize the Feilong Army, and he had underestimated the enemy. Tang Yin now began to regret that he should not have agreed to Qiu Zhen so easily.
, however, Tang Yin did not think that Surabaya would definitely not be conquered by relying solely on the strength of the direct army. It was true that it would take more thinking.
After figuring out the strength and distribution of troops in Surabaya, Tang Yin no longer wasted time and sent orders to the entire army. Two days later, the entire army went south, entered Surabaya County, and defended Jin'an City in the north of Surabaya.
Jin'an is the second largest city in Surabaya, and it is also the northern gateway to Surabaya. If the Feng army wants to enter Surabaya, it must first capture Jin'an, otherwise logistics and supplies will be a big problem.
According to the previous intelligence sent back by Sky Eye and Diwang, Jin'an has about 20,000 troops. However, one of the Mo army's four major military camps is located near Jin'an. If the Feng army attacks Jin'an, there is no guarantee that the Mo army will not come out to reinforce it.
This is the most troublesome.
Before the army started, Tang Yin specially summoned the generals to discuss how to fight the battle of Jin'an.
The meeting had not yet begun, and Ling Shuang and Xu Wenfeng came uninvited. They were just observers and wanted to see how Tang Yin planned it. After arriving, they sat at the end of the lobby automatically.
It was okay for Xu Wenfeng to sit at the end, but it seemed unsuitable for Lingshuang to sit there too. Under the frequent reminders with everyone's eyes, Tang Yin sighed helplessly, moved his body to the side, and then faced Lingshuang.
Shuang said with a smile: "Sister Wang, please come this way!"
Lingshuang did not refuse Tang Yin's 'kindness'. She nodded with a smile, stood up, walked to Tang Yin's side, and sat down gracefully. Looking at the two people sitting side by side, Xu Wenfeng looked ugly and lowered his head.
He also slowly clenched his fists.
During this period of time, Tang Yin did not forget to pay attention to Lingshuang's movements on his own side. In the Fengjun, she was unfamiliar with the place and she should be very awkward. However, Lingshuang's adaptability was surprisingly strong. In just a few days, she
, and became very familiar with the ministers of Feng Kingdom.
There are two people she comes into contact with the most, one is Qiu Zhen, and the other is Guo Jue. Tang Yin understands what Lingshuang is thinking. Now she has a request from the Feng Kingdom. Not only does she have to hold back herself, the monarch of the Feng Kingdom, but she also has to
He wanted to improve her relationship with Feng Guo's important ministers so that he could speak for her in front of him. He trusted Qiu Zhen too much. No matter what means Lingshuang used, even if it was a honey trap, it was impossible for Qiu Zhen to do something that would be sorry for him and Feng Guo.
, but this is not necessarily the case for Guo Jue.
Tang Yin didn't say anything on his lips and showed no emotion, but in his heart he knew who was trustworthy and who might not be reliable around him.
When the ministers and generals all arrived, Tang Yin cleared his throat and spoke first: "Everyone should be clear by now. Our army's next target is Surabaya. If we want to attack Surabaya, we must first attack Jin'an."
After a pause, he continued: "The battle of Jin'an is the first battle of our army in Surabaya. As the saying goes, if you win the first battle, you will win the battle! In this battle, our army will not only win, but also win beautifully, so that our army's
Losses have been reduced to a minimum. Please tell me what tactics you need to use in this battle."
Zhang Cheng took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to defeat Jin'an. The difficulty lies in the Mo army camp near Jin'an. Now we know very little about the situation of Mo camp. We only know that it is a camp for training new soldiers, but
As for how many Mo country defenders are inside, how many new recruits there are, and how many of the new recruits have become combat effective, we don’t know anything about it.”
Kong Yan continued: "That's right! Once our army attacks Jin'an, Mo Ying will never sit idly by and ignore it. If we don't know the specific combat strength of the Mo army in the camp, it will be very detrimental to our army's deployment."
This is a difficult problem! Everyone frowned and remained silent.
At this time, Cai Gui smiled, looked at Generals Zhang Cheng and Kong Yan, and said, "You two generals don't have to worry too much. As long as our army is properly deployed, it doesn't matter even if we don't know the strength of Mo Camp."
Hearing this, Zhang Cheng and Kong Yan raised their eyebrows in unison, and everyone else also looked at Cai Gui in confusion, wondering why he said that.
Cai Gui said: "In fact, we can estimate the number of combatable soldiers in Mo camp. According to my judgment, it should not be more than the defenders of Jin'an."
Without waiting for others to ask questions, Cai Gui continued to explain: "It is easy to understand. If there is really a large number of troops hoarded in the Mo camp, then when our army attacks Anqiu, the Mo army in Surabaya will have already sent troops to reinforce it, instead of
They just sat back and watched Anqiu fall. The reason why the Mo army did not go north to help showed that they were not sure of victory. Our army had less than 100,000 men and we were fighting in a remote place. Under such unfavorable circumstances, the Mo army in Surabaya did not dare to go north.
The first battle shows that at best they can only protect themselves or they don't even have the strength to protect themselves, and their military strength will never be too strong."
While listening, everyone nodded their heads and raised their thumbs secretly. Cai Gui was indeed smart and quick-thinking, and his inferences were reasonable.
Tang Yin raised his head and smiled, stroking his hands and saying, "Go on, how can our army defeat the enemy?"
Cai Gui said: "Your Majesty, our army can be divided into two groups, attack Jin'an along the way, and set up an ambush halfway between Jin'an and Moying. If the Jin'an defenders withdraw, the ambush troops can intercept and kill them. The Mo army in Moying can
If reinforcements are sent, the ambush can stop and kill them."
