Tan Zhi sighed softly: "With this strong camp, and now there are 6,000 cavalry, it is really not a big problem to defend it, but if Wulindu is lost, it means that the follow-up army of the demon thieves can
With the continuous landings, the best way is to find a way to eliminate the enemy's main force, recapture Wulindu, and stop their thoughts of attacking Jingzhou again. Hongzhi, what do you think?"
Fu Hongzhi frowned: "Do you still want to break thieves in the field?"
Tan Zhi's eyes flashed coldly: "Before you came, I didn't have this idea, because the enemy is strong and we are weak, and there is a huge disparity in strength. What's more terrible is that I have no intelligence and cannot conduct reconnaissance. I know nothing about the enemy's movements.
How can we fight in the field? As soon as we leave the camp, we may be ambushed by the enemy."
Fu Hongzhi laughed: "Now that my cavalry is here, you have a new idea? I advise you not to mess around. It is better to let Brother Daogui make the decision about the war. He only takes about half a day.
We'll be there soon, so you don't have to rush."
Tan Zhi curled up his lips: "Even if I don't go out to fight, in this half day, you should still have a clear reconnaissance of the enemy situation ahead. Now I don't even know who the opponent is or how many troops they have. The only thing that can be known is
, but Wulindu was lost, and none of the brothers there came back. As the guard of the Ma Tou Camp, do you think I am qualified for my job?"
Fu Hongzhi put away his smile and said seriously: "If I don't come and there are no cavalry, are you ready to send people to reconnoiter?"
Tan Zhi nodded: "Dongman warriors are good at running and are light infantry, suitable for reconnaissance. I originally wanted them to send hundreds of people to find out the enemy's strength. Now that you are here, I have a better one."
Choice. Actually, I am still a little unwilling. The demon thieves can never be Yingjiu's troops. Maybe it is Xu Daofu who comes in person. If there is an opportunity to directly eliminate Xu Daofu, do you want to miss it?
"
Fu Hongzhi's expression turned serious: "Do you have information to prove that it was Xu Daofu who came? Why couldn't it be Jiangnan's troops or Yingjiu?"
Tan Zhi curled up his lips and said: "Yingjiu was obviously acting as a suspected soldier to interfere with our army's judgment. He rushed all the way with great momentum, saying that he wanted to eliminate Yu Yue's troops, which frightened Yu Yue directly
He ran away, but I think his real purpose was to lure our main force in Jingzhou to fight against Yingjiu in Jiangzhou. The beacon fire raised by Zhu Chaoshi meant to completely annihilate the enemy army and win a great victory. If only annihilation
After the division of troops, Yingjiu's headquarters will not burn such smoke. I think that Yingjiu's headquarters should be wiped out cleanly by Xiao Shitou."
Fu Hongzhi laughed: "I think so too, then do you think the main force that raided Wulindu will be led by Xu Daofu himself? Couldn't it be the demon thieves from Changsha or even Lingnan?"
Tan Zhi shook his head: "How can they have such strength? We have already figured out these defenders. They are just local snakes who stayed here under the banner of demon thieves. If they had the ability to attack Wulindu, they would have been killed in the past six months.
So we took action, why should we wait until the demon thieves have failed to attack Jiankang and have to retreat back to the division before taking action? At this time, these defenders will have to consider surrendering to our Jin Dynasty again. "
Fu Hongzhi said seriously: "Yes, so to speak, it is only possible that the enemy general, or even Xu Daofu, personally led the main force to attack, but why do we not have any intelligence to prove his army's surprise attack? Could it be that along the coast
Are the beacon towers and patrol boats on the river all blind?"
Tan Zhi sighed: "So, I don't think Xu Daofu brought the entire army of monster thieves back for a raid, but only brought a small number of troops, even thousands or more than ten thousand people, relying on Qianlong warships or
It is better to attack them all in the style of the Water Ghost Team, so that their number will not be too large. With the strength of our army, it is entirely possible to defeat or even destroy them."
Fu Hongzhi curled up his lips: "That said, it's still too risky. It's better to guard this place first and wait for Brother Daogui to come before making a decision."
Tan Zhi gritted his teeth: "But that would result in the loss of military aircraft. The reason why the enemy is eager to seize the Matou Camp is probably to cover up their weakness of insufficient troops. The so-called ability shows that they cannot. If they have enough troops, there is no need at all.
To let off the smoke, send troops to sneak attack first to capture the Ma Tou Camp. If it fails, then follow up with a strong attack by the army. Once the Ma Tou Camp is lost, Jiangling's gate will be wide open and there is no danger to defend it. But now they only send these two hundred people to steal the Ma Tou Camp.
battalion, and there is no follow-up army behind them, which means that it is likely that they do not have enough follow-up troops and cannot steal the camp, so they just want to switch to defense."
Fu Hongzhi frowned: "Even if we have to switch to defense, we can't conquer it with just six thousand men and horses. You have no attacking tools, but Wulindu has a complete defensive camp, and my cavalry can't do it yet."
As for storming the fortress, the most important thing is that the enemy situation is unknown now, how can we take risks relying on these judgments?"
Tan Zhi smiled slightly: "But now the demon thieves don't know our military strength. Now the two sides don't know each other. If they knew that we had four thousand or six thousand people, they wouldn't send these two hundred people to die. Even if they could
Even if we open a large camp, it is impossible to completely destroy our defenders with only two hundred people. Now that their conspiracy has been exposed, but there has been no follow-up after so long, this means that these two hundred people are all the strength of their sneak attack.
There are no soldiers and horses to follow up. If we attack directly with great force at this time, they don't know our true strength and will never dare to fight with us rashly. As long as we can press forward to the Wulindu camp, we won't give them any chance.
If they have the opportunity to leave the camp and form an array, then even if the troops on the river arrive, they will not be able to land again."
Fu Hongzhi said in a deep voice: "Do you want to advance with your troops and force the enemy to defend their camp and not dare to fight, or even flee directly back to the river to recapture Wulindu?"
Tan Zhi said in a deep voice: "First you lead more than a thousand cavalry forward, and the other brothers scatter out to conduct reconnaissance to see the enemy's movements. Do you want to sneak across the Han River and cut off our connection with Dangyang, or divide your troops to raid the villages?
Kill villagers, capture prisoners, collect food and grass, or stay in camp, or set up ambushes elsewhere. Only when you know the enemy's situation can you make next plans. If the enemy doesn't take action, show off your force and tell them
This sneak attack force has been completely wiped out. Let them prepare to die. If they see that our forward cavalry has more than a thousand cavalry, they will not dare to fight easily and will huddle up and wait. In this way, our opportunity will come
, my army will follow up, followed by Brother Daogui's soldiers and horses, which can completely suppress the demon thieves on the front line of Wulindu, unable to expand. As long as they prevent their most ferocious sneak attack, Jingzhou can be saved.
Got it!"
Tan Zhi sighed softly: "With this strong camp, and now there are 6,000 cavalry, it is really not a big problem to defend it, but if Wulindu is lost, it means that the follow-up army of the demon thieves can
