Horse on the World

Chapter 794 Adventure
Of course, Sapphire would not sit at the Stone Pai with a heavy army, waiting for Zeng Yifan to take down Xiabaoping for him, relying on the sky and the earth is worse than relying on himself, whether it is Zeng Yifan or Lu Fengchun, Sapphire has never really trusted However, the situation in the south is not good now. Deng Peng, the Dingzhou navy, led the main force to sit on Lianshan Island. With Yin Ning and Zhuang Youbao as arrows, they continued to harass the southern coastal areas, Dengzhou, Bozhou, and even Ningzhou In the range of the opponent's attack, sometimes it is even more shocking in one day.After the strength of Pang Jun's navy was greatly damaged, except for protecting Ningzhou and Anshun Port in Liaozhou, he had no more strength to attack.

This situation and the situation made King Ning determined to win Weizhou as soon as possible, and then try his best to manage the three places of Liaoshun and Shenyang. Just now, Lanyu received an urgent letter from King Ning. Built under the genus of Sapphire.This made Lan Yu feel great pressure at the same time of joy, King Ning was alone.

But in this way, the elite of the Southern Army under his command reached [-] paces, which gave him more tactical choices.

Contrary to what Tian Feng guessed, Lan Yu didn't want to win Yangquan in one fell swoop, but focused on Sifangyan and Bailonggang.As the gateway to Weizhou City, Yangquan is heavily guarded. Once the offensive is frustrated, it will greatly damage morale. However, Sifangyan and Bailonggang are different. The defense is relatively weak and there are not many troops. In Yangquan, Tuike and Zeng Yifan attacked Xiabaoping, and once the retreat of Xiabaoping was cut off, the garrison's will to stick to it would be severely hit.It is also a strong support for Zeng Yifan.

Now there is only one problem, how to launch a surprise attack, take these two places when the opponent is caught off guard, and minimize the loss of one's own side.

When Lan Yu was contemplating painstakingly, in Luzhou, Li Qing had already arrived at Li Sizhi's prefect of Luzhou.After Lu Dalin's army arrived in Luzhou, the soldiers and horses did not gather immediately, but were scattered and stationed in various places as Luzhou soldiers. In and out, a lively scene.

"Uncle, I just received a piece of top-secret information." Li Qing said: "King Ning is alone this time. To win Weizhou, Xu Siyu led [-] horsemen to enter Weizhou again."

Li Sizhi was surprised, "Xu Siyu has also come, so Tian Feng is not in danger, the troops under Xu Siyu's command are extremely elite soldiers of the southern army."

Li Qing nodded, "King Ning's failure in Heishuiyang is destined to expand eastward in order to gain more living space and avoid getting into trouble after being attacked by our navy in the south. Xu Siyu's entry also Just a precursor."

"You mean?" Li Sizhi asked suspiciously.

"I see the hope of solving King Ning's main force in one fell swoop." Li Qing looked up at the huge map on the wall.

"Solve King Ning's main force?" Li Sizhi shook his head and said, "King Ning is now mainly driving Zeng Yifan's troops as the main force. Even if Xu Siyu leads his troops into Weizhou, it is only a partial division. King Ning's main force is still in Ningdeng. Under the rule of Hu Zequan and his son, how can you solve it in one fell swoop?"

"Kill one of them, and King Ning will have no power to resist." Li Qing's eyes lit up.

"You want to use Weizhou City as a bait to lure King Ning's main force into Weizhou." Li Sizhi looked at the map, shook his head and said, "Even if they come in, we can't annihilate them!"

"If our troops occupy Quancheng, what about Yingcheng?" Li Qing said.

Li Sizhi was shocked, and looked at Li Qing in disbelief, "You want to enter the vast sea? That's not possible! How can you cross the [-]-mile vast sea? Even if you can climb out of it, how much combat power does the army have? The status of Quancheng Yingcheng is important. The opponent is not a beginner in the battlefield, and has a lot of experience. These two places must be stationed with heavy troops for defense.

Li Qing smiled, "Leaving this question aside, the first step is to lure them in first. We have to think of a way."

Li Sizhi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Li Qing was just thinking, "To lure them in, first of all, Tian Feng must be able to hold on to the city of Weizhou, and try his best to defend the city, and our reinforcements will enter Weizhou The timing must also be grasped properly. We must make the opponent think that we can take Weizhou City with more effort, and after taking Weizhou City, they will not be able to resist our counterattack. In this case, King Ning will definitely increase his troops and control Weizhou thus confronted us."

"But in this way, Tian Feng's department will inevitably suffer heavy losses. If one is not good, Weizhou will be completely lost..."

Li Qing touched his chin, "Yes, in this way, the original reinforcements are gone, how can Tian Feng defend Weizhou? But uncle, as long as the main force of the opponent can be lured in, what does it matter if Weizhou City is lost? ? Even if Tian Feng's troops are finished, as long as they can annihilate King Ning's main force in one fell swoop, it will be worth it."

Li Sizhi shook his head and said: "It's too risky. Your plan is so big, so there must be no fewer troops to cross the vast sea. It takes at least 2 troops to stab the opponent's back like a sharp knife. Such a large force It is not easy for the troops to cross the vast sea of ​​[-] miles, if one is not good, they will be buried in the vast sea."

"After Lu Dalin's troops were strengthened, there were about [-] people. The Changsheng Battalion and the Huanfeng Battalion I brought with me had more than [-] people. We gathered about [-] main forces in Luzhou. This is not counting your Luzhou troops. If this group appears in Weizhou to support Tian Feng in a grand manner, it is very likely to scare the opponent away and adopt a defensive policy, forming a tug-of-war with us in Weizhou. In this way, we will not be able to solve King Ning as soon as possible. In a long time, Luoyang will be relieved, Zhou Tong will come from Xingzhou, and Zhang Aimin will come from Minzhou, which will put great pressure on us. Moreover, the strength of the Central Plains under Shang Haibo's administration will skyrocket in a short period of time. And the resistance forces will not be successful for a while, if there is a seesaw in Weizhou, we will not be able to fully deploy the Central Plains battlefield, and then we will form a passive situation, I am afraid this is exactly what Tianqi monk Haibo hopes."

"Tianqi and Shang Haibo hope that we will form a tug-of-war with King Ning and continue to lose blood in these places. This is also why Zhang Aimin of Minzhou has the strength to launch an attack from Qingyang, but he always makes small troubles and refuses to make large-scale attacks. The reason for the attack. King Ning came to contain us, while the Central Plains was focused on developing and accumulating strength in order to launch a general attack on us. The Central Plains has a vast land and abundant resources. If they really do as they wish, we will encounter big trouble." Li Qing said slowly: " So, I wanted to take a risk."

"Uncle can send Luzhou soldiers into Weizhou one after another to support Tian Feng. Although Luzhou soldiers are lacking in field battles, it must be possible to defend the city. At the same time, Luzhou soldiers entering Weizhou may also cause our Dingzhou reinforcements to not catch up. The false impression that we got made the opponent more confident, thinking that we could win Weizhou before us."

"Once the main force of the southern army was lured into Weizhou, Lu Dalin's troops immediately launched a full-scale counterattack and formed a confrontation with the enemy under the city of Weizhou. Its food road. Cut off the supply line, and the enemy will be defeated."

"This battle must be completed before March, otherwise the Tuojiang River will thaw, and the opponent can send a large number of ships from the Tuojiang River to withdraw the team or deliver supplies."

Li Sizhi was silent for a while, "Have you decided?"

Li Qing nodded, "Sometimes, we still have to take the risks that should be taken. What's more, although the risks are great, the benefits are also great. Once successful, the south can be expected to be peaceful."

Li Qing had made up his mind, and Li Sizhi no longer objected. On the second day, Lu Dalin rushed to Zhizhou Prefecture, and the three began to formally discuss the details of the campaign. Since the major changes in the plan have made Tian Feng's battle in Weizhou much more difficult, and even extremely risky, then it is necessary to add more food and supplies for long-term defense.

Secondly, it is who leads the troops into the vast sea.

"I'll go in person!" Li Qing said decisively.

Lu Dalin and Li Sizhi immediately opposed it strongly.The [-]-mile vast sea is no joke, there are also great risks involved, food and water shortages, getting lost, any mistake may cause the army to be wiped out, as the masters of Dingzhou, how could the two of them let Li Qing is so adventurous.

Li Qing raised his hand and waved it, and said: "Uncle can't go. You are indispensable in Luzhou to coordinate food, supplies, and appease the people. As for Dalin, the main force of this attack will be launched by your department. I am familiar with the troops under your command The degree, character, and ability of the general are much more familiar than I am. Therefore, at the last moment of the battle, you must counterattack vigorously. At that time, the enemy army will definitely flee with all its strength. The more enemies you eliminate, the more I will respond in Spring City. The pressure on the city will be less. There is no need to discuss this matter, it is settled like this. I will bring the Changsheng Battalion, and I will draw [-] infantry from the Dalin Army."

Ten days later, when Tian Feng received the secret letter from the messenger, all the plans for this operation were immediately presented to him.After Tian Feng finished reading, he couldn't help but gasped.This is a huge plan, and it is also a risky plan. He, Tian Feng, is going to be put to death this time and reborn. At the same time, he also has a hint of pride in his heart. The key point of this battle is his persistence in Weizhou. The longer the time, the greater the possibility of success. Tian Feng is quite satisfied with Li Qing's trust.

In Xiabaoping, Wei Xin twisted his goatee and looked at Zeng Yifan's densely packed military camp not far away. The camp was well-regulated and disciplined. Although there was nothing special about it, it was thick and stable.Now there are about 4000 people in Xiabaoping, and there are almost [-] cavalry, but Wei Xin only left [-] cavalry for counterattack, and the rest let them out, led by Lu Dabing in Xiabaoping Guerrilla all around, Xiabaoping Fortress is not a big city, four thousand cavalry crowded inside, it is a waste at all, instead it is more threatening to disperse them.
