Chapter 63 Military Conference at the Governor's Palace (Part 2)
As for other sections of the river, there are no conditions for large-scale boat crossing. If you don't bring special armor, magic weapons, and talismans used in battle formations, they will be of no use when you come over. They are purely for food delivery.
The best way to cross the river is to first cross some monks, set up a large defensive array before the other party can react, then quickly build a pontoon bridge, quickly transport troops through the pontoon bridge, and then transfer the food, grass and baggage after the crossing point is consolidated.
The most dangerous thing about using this method to cross the river is the first day. Once the monks who crossed the river in advance are discovered, they will be easily annihilated if they are isolated and helpless, resulting in heavy losses.
And with the passage of time, after many years of confrontation between the two armies along the Baihe River, this method has become even more difficult to implement. The two armies have built a large number of observation posts along the river bank. As long as the flying charm of one post is activated, a large number of observation posts will be activated.
News will soon be available in the camp.
After much deliberation, Wu Huawen's last remaining option may be to use flying magic weapons, but in this case, the number of these rare soldiers will be pitifully small. A precious flying magic weapon can usually only carry two people.
Thirty people, or ten sergeants plus their equipment. If he wanted to transport a thousand people with food, grass and baggage, he would need ten flying magic weapons and run back and forth more than ten times.
The Lou Guan Sect only has one flying magic weapon, how many can Wu Huawen mobilize? Besides, if there are so many flying magic weapons, the Ming army will smile so much that their faces bloom. The fourth-level battle formation ballistae is a flying magic weapon.
His nemesis, he can hit flying magic weapons quickly and accurately!
So no matter how they thought about it, everyone felt that the number of troops sent by Wu Huawen could not exceed 1,000, or even 800. As for the method used by these 800 people to cross the river safely, everyone could not argue for a long time.
This is why.
For the time being, we put aside how Wu Huawen crossed the river and began to discuss the scope of his troops and attack targets.
Those present were all generals who had fought the war. According to the deployment of troops and the scale of baggage and supplies, a line was immediately drawn on the sand table.
Wu Huawen will definitely not go too deep after crossing the river. The area between the west of this line and the east of Baihe River is within the reach of Wu Huawen. If he wants to go deeper to the east, it will be a suicidal advance. I believe Wu Huawen
The tattoo won't be so silly.
Within this scope, we first eliminate the three crossings where it is easiest to cross the river, namely Chewa Valley, Yueliangdu, and Anqu Village. These three places are firmly guarded by Ming army camps. A sneak attack by light troops on a heavy fortress can be successful.
Since ancient times, I dare not say that there is only one example in a thousand battles, but at least it is rare in a hundred battles. It is a stroke of luck.
Apart from these three points, there is only one thing left, and that is Hongyuan City, Songfanwei's food transshipment platform.
At this point in the discussion, everyone looked at Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Although I am a Taoist priest of the Zongsheng Hall and the abbot of the White Horse Courtyard, to be honest, I have never experienced fighting in a battle formation. But these two
When I was in charge of Hongyuan, I did not delay the construction of the city wall. Now Hongyuan has two layers of city walls, one of which is the inner city wall, which we call the inner ring. Although it is not high, it is strong enough. At the same time, this city wall has the most significant effect
It is undoubtedly convenient for travel, in other words, it has a strong insider advantage."
After a pause, he added: "The outer city wall, which is what we call the outer ring in Hongyuan, is one foot and a half high and one to one and a half feet thick. Although it is still not high, it is stronger than before. Ning Shouyu looks at it
After many times, he knows better."
Ning Deshou nodded and said: "It is difficult to deal with a large army, but it is not a problem to withstand the siege of hundreds of people. You just need to be on guard."
Xia Jidao: "If Wu Huawen's intention is to break up Hongyuan City, then we can arrange it like this. Chishui Thousand Households has ceased operations, and has stationed in the southwest of Hongyuan in various deceptive ways, hiding on the left wing of Hongyuan City. Abbot Zhao, there is
Is there no suitable place to station troops secretly?"
Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "Geyong Village." He pointed out the direction of the village on the sand table.
Xia Ji nodded: "Let's use this as the left wing! Xiaohe Qianhu Station is also moving closer to Hongyuan City. It must be moved quietly, secretly..."
Zhao Ran pointed to the sand table and said: "Mengshui Village."
Xia Ji looked at the location, nodded and said, "It's Mengshui Village! Can you two thousand households complete the move within half a month?"
Zhang and Li, both of whom have thousands of households, responded: "Follow the order!"
Xia Ji then sent an envoy to Commander Cao: "Deploy troops from our own guards and surround Wu Huawen under the city at all times. Make sure not to let him escape!"
After the general military strategy was explained, all the officers and soldiers looked at Yan Yunyi. Zhao Ran also looked at Yan Yunyi, waiting for his judgment on the military strategy and the monks' assistance in the battle.
Yan Yun is also the second-ranked elder in the Huayun Pavilion. He was originally a disciple of Patriarch Longyang, specializing in the layout of magic arrays and the refining of magic weapons. After Patriarch Longyang disbanded decades ago, all his disciples were
After being dismissed, Yan Yun was also invited by the Lishan Sect of the Huayun Hall to join this sect, which also focused on practicing magic formations. He was promoted to a refiner in the Huayun Hall and became an elder of the Elder Hall.
Three years ago, he was appointed to take turns to serve as Songfan Guards, and became the leader of the Songfan Guards Army and dozens of monks who guarded the three garrison buildings of Baihe, Hongyuan and Anqu. After Pei Zhongze expired and left office, he was also going to return to Huayun.
Shan, Naihe suddenly came out of Xixia and was preparing to attack the Baihe defense line. Therefore, he could only stay temporarily and hand over the mission after dealing with this war.
Zhao Ran has been to the Cheva Valley several times in the past few years. When it comes to the monks taking turns fighting the Songfan Guards, he still supports it.
Because the Zongsheng Hall was newly established and there were few people, the Yuhuang Pavilion stated that it would not allocate rotation quotas to the Zongsheng Hall within five years. It would be decided after the sixth year depending on the specific situation. However, Zhao Ran had already made plans and made a peace deal.
Teacher Jiang Tenghe and senior brother Wei Zhizhen discussed that starting from the fourth year, that is, next year, they will send people to Songfan Guards to participate in the war.
In his opinion, war is an excellent platform for sharpening Taoism and Taoism. Working behind closed doors will not work. In the future, monks who go out of the Zongsheng Hall must be able to fight. This is the undoubtedly development direction.
Let’s not mention the Zong Sheng Hall rotation, but just talk about Yan Yunyi’s opinion on Governor Xia’s strategy. He did not change it at all. He just said: “This strategy is feasible, but I don’t know if the Xixia imperial party dares to take the risk.
Send monks at the peak of the Arhat realm to cross the river. If only one or two can come, it would be really wonderful."
The peak of the Arhat Realm is equivalent to the junior level of the Taoist Great Refiner, or a weakened version of the Great Refiner. Without knowing it, it is quite difficult to destroy a Buddhist monk at the peak of the Arhat Realm. But since you know
Knowing that Xixia was about to launch a surprise attack, and having a rough judgment on the direction and purpose of the advance, it was feasible to take the opportunity to leave one behind.
