Tang Yin rubbed his chin, pondered for a long time, and asked, "Ziying, what do you think?"
Ziying said: "If our army attacks by force in this battle, we may be in danger of being wiped out."
At this time, Xiao Muqing also climbed up. After hearing what Ziying said, he immediately said: "The annihilation of the entire army is not a bit alarmist, but a strong attack will definitely cause heavy losses to our army."
Tang Yin asked: "Mu Qing, do you also think it will be difficult for our army to win this battle?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Muqing smiled bitterly and said: "If we want to forcefully cross the Zhang River, our warships must be at least as large as Ning's army. Otherwise, it will be difficult to win."
This is nonsense. The shipbuilding industry in Feng Country is very backward, and it has never fought a water war. There is no navy in the country, let alone large warships. To build a fleet of the size of the other side, it is estimated that it will cost at least
After three to five years, Tang Yin was determined to destroy Ning. How could he wait so long?
He didn't say anything, turned around and got off the watchtower, striding back to the central military tent. The other generals looked at each other, no one dared to speak, and silently followed Tang Yin back to the tent. Tang Yin wandered back and forth after the commander's case, his mind racing.
Turn around and think about how you can successfully cross the Zhang River.
Ning Guo's million-strong army was defeated by him. Tang Yin did not believe that the mere Zhang River in front of him could stop his army from advancing westward. But how could he successfully cross it? Tang Yin thought for a long time and suddenly remembered that he had crossed the Pan River in the first place.
The situation in the water is similar to the current situation. Since the enemy is strong and we are weak, we should avoid their sharp edges and find a secret place to cross the river quietly.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and said: "Lotte, Ai Jia!"
"The general is here!" Upon hearing his call, Lotte and Ai Jia hurriedly stepped out of the queue and saluted.
Tang Yin said sternly: "You two should quickly go and investigate to see where there are weakly defended and hidden places along the Zhang River. It would be best if you can draw a sketch and show it to me in three days."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Letian and Ai Jia both agreed, turned around and hurried away.
Tang Yin said to the generals on his left and right: "You generals must have not forgotten that when our army crossed the Pan River, we tried to avoid the enemy's sharp edge and sneaked to the other side quietly. The Zhang River is much longer than the Pan River, so it is impossible for Ning's army to do so."
There are precautions everywhere, and there must be a weakness in them. As long as we find the weak points in Ning's defense, it will no longer be difficult for our army to cross the Zhang River."
Hearing what he said, Xiao Muqing and others nodded. It would be great if they could cross the Zhang River quietly through the gap in the enemy's defense. As long as they could get ashore and fight on land, our soldiers would never be afraid of anyone.
!This time, before anyone else could speak, Xiao Muqing praised him first: "Your Majesty is extremely wise and this is a very good strategy."
Tang Yin grinned, sat down slowly, leaned back, and fell into deep thought again. All he had to do now was wait for Letian and Ai Jia to bring back the exact news.
Letian and Ai Jia did not spend three days. The next night, they hurried back to the Fengjun camp. After meeting Tang Yin, Ai Jia took out the sketch of the Zhang River she had drawn and spread it on the bank of the table.
He said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, we will finally find a good place for our army to sneak across."
"Oh?" Tang Yin perked up and said hurriedly: "Show it to me."
"This is here!" Ai Jia pointed at the map and said, and then she continued: "The Ning Army's defense range is ten miles from the north to the south, and this place is located twenty miles south of the Ning Army camp. The water flow here is gentle and the river is narrow.
What's more important is that there is a large dense forest across the river, and our troops can immediately hide in the forest after landing and complete various combat preparations."
Tang Yin's eyes lit up, this is a rare place! He turned to look at Letian and asked him if this place was really what Ai Jia said. Letian smiled, nodded and said, "The general's investigation is the same as that of General Ai.
This place is indeed suitable for our army to smuggle in."
The investigation results of Letian and Ai Jia were consistent, which made Tang Yin completely relieved. He put his hands on his hands and smiled, lowered his head, looked at the sketch for a while, and said in a loud voice: "Assemble the generals and come to the central military tent to discuss matters!
"
"yes!"
Tang Yin gave the order, and the generals of the Feng Army rushed to the central military tent. After everyone arrived, Tang Yin signaled to Ai Jia, who took out the sketch and explained it in detail to everyone. After everyone listened to Ai Jia's words
The introduction was both surprising and pleasant. With such a convenient place to cross the river, it would be feasible for our side to cross the river.
"Soldiers are valuable and quick. Generals, please tell me when our army should launch an attack?" Tang Yin looked around at everyone with a smile.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Yuan Fang saluted Tang Yin and said, "This matter is of great importance, but I think we should be more cautious about this matter."
Hearing this, Lotte and Ai Jia both frowned. The former said nothing, while Ai Jia showed displeasure and asked with a sneer: "Mr. Yuan Fang, do you think we made a mistake in our investigation?"
Yuan Fang smiled and said: "No, no, no, I have absolutely no intention of doing so, but as far as I know, Changsun Yuanhong is very good at commanding troops and has excellent strategies. With such a big loophole in Hexi, he should not fail to do so."
Inspector, I wonder if this is a deliberate plan set by Changsun Yuanhong, to provide us with a loophole to lure our army into taking the bait?"
"Joke!" Ai Jia sneered and said, "I have just said that the Ning Army's defense line is ten miles from the north to the south, and this place is a full twenty miles away from the Ning camp. The Ning Army's defense line does not extend to this place.
It’s normal that Changsun Yuanhong didn’t notice it.”
Yuan Fang sighed quietly and said: "That's what you say, but our army has to be on guard! General Ai also said that there is a dense forest on the other side of this place, which is suitable for our army to hide on the spot after landing, but it is also suitable for the enemy to ambush
, once the Ning army sets up an ambush in the dense forest, won't our soldiers crossing the river be completely exposed to the enemy's arrow array?"
Ai Jia's face turned red. She glared at Yuan Fang with phoenix eyes. After holding it in for a long time, Fang said angrily: "It's nonsense! Mr. Yuan Fang is from Ning. The person who has the least right to speak here is you. Who knew you were
What are your intentions?!"
What she said was something that everyone present was concerned about, but no one had the nerve to say it out loud because it was too hurtful. If Yuan Fang sincerely surrendered to her side, wouldn't he be angry when she said this?
?
Sure enough, after listening to Ai Jia's words, Tang Yin's face suddenly darkened and he said: "General Ai, pay attention to your words. Since Mr. Yuan Fang has joined our army, he is his brother. I don't want to hear those suspicious words just now."
." Even if he has suspicions, he cannot expose them in public and must investigate secretly. He added in his heart. Although Yuan Fang has helped Tang Yin, the latter does not trust him 100%, for no other reason.
Just because Yuan Fang was from Ning, it was difficult for Tang Yin to completely let down his guard against him.
Hearing Tang Yin's scolding, Ai Jia secretly stuck out her tongue and realized that her words were too harsh. She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty taught you a lesson, and the general will know it."
Tang Yin smiled apologetically at Yuan Fang and said, "Mr. Yuan Fang, what General Ai said just now was angry. Don't take it to heart."
Yuan Fang's face was full of peace, he held his hands with a smile and said: "Your Majesty's words are serious."
Seeing Yuan Fang's reaction, Tang Yin secretly frowned. According to Yuan Fang himself, he was a ranger, and rangers have always valued face. Yuan Fang should be extremely unhappy because Ai Jia spoke so bluntly just now, but
Now he seems to be okay. Does he really have such a big heart?
Just when Tang Yin was suspicious, Lotte stepped out with a smile and said: "Mr. Yuan Fang is overly worried. I have already sent my men to sneak to the other side to explore the forest for any ambush. I will get the exact information tomorrow at the latest."
information."
Oh? Yuan Fang was stunned when he heard this, then nodded with a smile and said: "General Le is very considerate and admirable."
The war was about to begin. Tang Yin was too lazy to think about Yuan Fang. As long as he sent people to keep an eye on him, he would not be afraid of his tricks. Tang Yin took a deep breath, stood up, looked around everyone, and said seriously: "Everyone, do your best when you go back.
Be prepared, as long as there is no ambush on the other side, our army will cross the Zhang River secretly at night and day!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
The generals stepped in to take orders and turned away. When Cheng Jin was about to leave with everyone, Tang Yin stopped him. When everyone came out of their accounts, he called Cheng Jin to him and whispered: "Cheng Jin
, sent two capable brothers, dressed as bodyguards, to keep an eye on Yuan Fang. This battle is crucial, and the information about our army must not be leaked."
Cheng Jin nodded, and then asked: "Your Majesty, do you think there is something wrong with Yuan Fang?"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "It's hard to say for the time being, but this person is from Ning and has just joined our army, so it's better to be careful."
Cheng Jin responded, but looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak. Tang Yin was happy when he saw this, raised his head and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Your Majesty, although Yuan Fang's cultivation is not very advanced, he is still a spiritual cultivator after all. He can distinguish between light spiritual cultivators and dark spiritual cultivators. I asked Dark Arrow's brother to dress up as a bodyguard, fearing that Yuan Fang would see it.
." Cheng Jin said with concern.
This is a problem. Tang Yin knocked on his forehead and said: "Let's do this. You select a few more people from my bodyguards, make an explanation, and then send them to Yuan Fang."
"Yes! Your Majesty! I understand." Cheng Jin handed over his hands and turned around.
At this time, Tang Yin was the only one left in the big tent. Looking at the empty tent, he slowly sat down and sighed quietly, wondering whether he could destroy Ning and leave unparalleled achievements in the history of Feng Kingdom.
, it depends on tomorrow’s battle. If the battle succeeds, our side will have no resistance and can attack Liangzhou in one fell swoop. If it fails, not only will Ning State not be destroyed, but the Hedong area that has just been conquered may also be in danger. As the king of a country,
, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Tang Yin gradually realized that this position was not easy to sit in. While he had supreme power, he also shouldered heavy burdens, responsibilities and pressure.
I hope this battle can be a success like the Battle of Panshui! Tang Yin muttered silently in his heart. But he never expected that the progress of the war would backfire.
