Li Jie drew a large circle with his finger on a vast area south of the Huai River, and then clicked on several crossed dotted lines, "Chu State used to use this mountain pass to enter and leave the Huai River."
"Easy to defend but hard to attack."
"Easy to defend but difficult to attack."
One person speaks and another person responds.
The atmosphere in the combat conference room was not solemn, but serious.
"What we want to do is not to intercept Dou's warriors."
Snapped.
He slapped his hand on Cao Lue's map, "But he ate them all in one go and eliminated the Dou clan's ability to enter and exit the Huai River. It shocked the Dou clan and shocked the country of Chu!"
If you play well, the entire northeastern Dabie Mountains will really become County Magistrate Li's big construction site.
The entire vast area on both sides of the Huai River can be said to be at Li Jie's disposal.
What happens inside the Wu Kingdom is none of his business?
What will he be like as County Magistrate Li at that time? He is the Commissioner of the Jianghuai Administrative Office!
"General, our army is not strong enough. If Cai Guo's reinforcements arrive, how should we respond?"
There are many things to worry about, but the biggest issue is survival.
Facing the Chu State, they had a great psychological advantage, and they had enough strongholds on both sides of the Huai River. Bai Yi couldn't stay any longer, so he ran to Liao City, and Liao City couldn't stay anymore, so he ran to Huaizhong City.
.
When you run to Huaizhong City, any reinforcements will be killed. Concentrate your strength and push back in a wave.
But this will definitely become a see-saw, and it will be a long-term consumption, which is not cost-effective for Li Jie.
"The water flooded Xincai, and Cai Guo was definitely shaken. He used Chu people to surrender soldiers, pretending to be righteous men, and intimidating Cai Guo."
After saying this, Li Jie said again, "I have sent Chen An to attack the hinterland of Cai State. If Cai State succeeds in borrowing troops, they must first pursue Chen An's fifth brigade."
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
The captains of the Yicong Brigade looked solemn. They were very happy and happy fighting with a favorable wind. But it was hard to say that this kind of headwind situation was difficult to say. The fearlessness during the night attack on Polygonum City was based on Li Jie's first climb to Polygonum.
on the basis of the city.
The general's power is overwhelming, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
But now, there are many problems. Rest and recovery after continuous battles will make soldiers tired. No matter what their will is, they will always feel war-weary.
The only way to adjust is to stimulate the soldiers.
When attacking, there are also financial rewards, and doubts will arise during the defensive battle. For example, why don't you run away? For example, this place is not my home, why should you hold on?
This self-doubt must be explained clearly.
Li Jie attaches great importance to conveying his will. Anyone who reaches the level of squad leader must understand Li Jie's intentions.
The purpose of a big project is to make money, but it may also need to earn fame, win a "Luban Award" or organize design dogs to travel to the Bauhaus. This must be explained clearly in advance.
Drawing cakes is not the problem, satisfying hunger is the problem.
After this intelligence gathering, everyone in the "Rebels" had a clear understanding. There were many enemies, but they were not strong. The most powerful one was the Dou clan of Chu State, and most likely it was the Dou clan of Bai Ju.
So as long as Baiju Doushi is eaten, the rest will, as expected, be useless snacks thrown away by the wind.
"I need to make it clear to the loyal followers that this battle is not about fighting for the city. Even the Baiyi that we have now can be considered a big city. If it is lost, it is lost. The main purpose is to annihilate the invading warriors of the Dou family!
"
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
…
If you want to allow team leaders to show their subjective initiative at a certain level, in addition to group combat, more often, it depends on whether they can understand the will of the top.
Now that the intention of fighting is very clear, it doesn't matter whether the news is leaked or not. Even if the news is leaked, according to the communication efficiency of the craftsmen, by the time it reaches Dou Shi's ears, the battle has already begun.
The operation of the entire "Rebel Army" soon revolved around the core of the tactic of "intimidating the weak and decisively fighting the fighting clan".
The role of Chen An of the Fifth Brigade is particularly important at this moment. In addition to courage, one must also have a clear understanding of the situation in Cai. The use of scouts will reach a peak.
However, Chen An was not a fool. As soon as he entered the Cai land, he used Cai Guo's reduced soldiers as a guide, compared the reconnaissance results fed back by the scouts, and screened the reliability of the reduced soldiers twice.
This kind of "unannounced inspection" situation made Cai Guojiang's soldiers dare not risk their lives in gambling. If he wanted to trick Chen An and failed, he would be killed immediately.
Now that you have reduced your pawn, under normal circumstances, you still cherish your life.
…
"The water level has dropped in the past few days."
At Wu Chan's livestock farm, Shaheng looked at the traces of water stains at the base of the wall. There was an obvious water line on the rammed earth wall.
The snails on the walls have all died in the past few days. There are so many snails crawling out of your water, and occasionally fish can be seen. However, as the water level drops, many places have begun to smell of stagnant water.
Cai Guo's doctor in the city was very clever. He blocked the city gate hole directly and started draining water. In fact, there were no big problems inside Xincai, and Xincai's drainage system also played its role. The water would still flow towards the city after all.
Going in the southeast direction.
The entire city is doing its best to recover. Although the floods have led to a lack of clean fresh water, and the hot weather has also caused a large number of Chinese patients in the city to become sick, but overall, fighting a defensive war is not a problem.
"The river leading to Ru River is silted up and boats are not allowed to pass. It is really difficult to send the message out now."
At this point, Jia Gui had no good solution, and Wu Hao had tried his best.
The entire Xincai, because of Yang Tongue's encouragement, was desperately trying to fight Li Jie to the end.
This made Jia Gui and Sha Heng very anxious, and they always wanted to convey their determination to fight inside and outside Xincai to Li Jie.
It's just that there is no way to go through the waterway, and Wu Chan is also helpless. If a person goes there outside the city, not to mention that the water is still up to his feet, even if he takes a car, an animal or a wheel, he can't withstand this kind of road environment.
What's worse is that as long as they walk in the wrong direction, they will definitely be shot into hedgehogs.
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
Although Sha Heng frowned, he still said, "Shou Li will not flood Xincai without grudges. There must be deep meaning."
"What are your plans, General?"
After hearing Sha Hen's words, Wu Chan asked quickly.
If others are not anxious, he must be anxious. You must know that one of Li Jie's "Second Generals of Heng Ha" is right in front of you. And the other one is the captain of the newly formed righteous group. If he is released in Xincai City, then
The bounty is also extremely generous.
Even if Wu Chan just chops off two people's heads, the profit will be higher than what he made from selling horses in five years.
In the end, when doing business, you still need to have a big picture. Selling horses is a waste, but selling people and the country is the right way.
"I think the sheep's tongue and humerus will react soon, and the Cai people can still travel in the north. I've seen it in the past few days, and there are cars and horses coming and going from time to time, and most of them are soldiers."
Sha Heng boldly guessed, "Shou Li is probably attacking Pingyu... or even Zhuma City!"
This guess was very bold and completely wrong, but at this moment Yang Tongue was extremely manic and quite annoyed.
"Wu Barbarian, shameless——"
In the villages and countryside north of Xincai, there are many retired nobles retreating from the world. The pastoral life is naturally quiet and peaceful, but now there is a big problem.
This was because during the cavalry campaign north of Xincai, the news was a blackmail document from Chen An, the leader of the newly formed fifth brigade of the "rebels".
In a word, an old doctor has a daughter, and an old man has a hundred gold.
The only thing that makes Yang Tongue feel lucky is that there are no ministers living here.
Most of Cai Guogong and his ministers bought properties in Shangcai. Xincai was too close to Rushui and was not attractive to them.
After all, Gongqing's family is still very worried that the river will surge and flood their land.
Sure enough, the river surged and the entire area around Xincai was flooded.
"Yangtongue Gong, the savages are shamelessly extorting ransom, how should we... handle them?"
"First stabilize the Wu barbarians, and then catch them by surprise, and gather together to annihilate the thieves!"
