"No kidding, I'm a slave, please go back and have a good rest first. You have plans for the evening, so you must be energetic!"
He clapped his hands and focused their attention on himself. Tan Ping was quite puzzled and looked at Wang Mi doubtfully.
"Secretary Wang, will there be any action tonight?"
"The Qin army has been severely weakened."
Wang Mi smiled and looked at Liu Yu: "Jinu, what do you think?"
"Should we give Di Qin, who dares to invade, a chance to rest?"
Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said flatly: "Of course not!"
"Soldiers are deceitful. Only by taking advantage of the opportunity can they completely stop their intention to invade Jingling!"
"Secretary Wang is right, we must strike while the iron is hot tonight and strike again!"
"Yes, you go and rest first. I will discuss strategies with General Xie and the others. We must wipe out all the Qin troops surrounding Jingling City!"
At the thought of being able to completely defeat Di Qin, the soldiers were full of confidence and passion.
An idea flashed in Liu Yu's mind and he quickly caught up: "Secretary Wang, General Huan also said that when he defeats Di Qin, he wants to meet you and talk about old times."
"General Huan wants to see me?" Wang Mi's brows jumped, and a feeling of excitement suddenly surged into his heart.
Liu Yu nodded: "I told General Huan that the timely rescue this time was all thanks to Secretary Wang. If Secretary Wang hadn't improved the halberd, I wouldn't have been able to kill so many enemy troops, and I still saved them."
General Huan."
"Did you save General Huan's life?"
"Does this matter still have something to do with me?"
Wang Mi felt that he could not miss tonight's battle. The battlefield was changing rapidly. I really don't know what kind of magical events happened...
At the beginning of the Xu period, Jingling was outside the city.
Under the cover of the deep night, in the corner of the tower, dark figures gradually appeared.
One or two...
Four or eight...
More and more, they soon gathered into a small team, and then turned into a large team. In just half an hour, thousands of soldiers gathered in a small area in the shadow of the corner of the tower!
The pigeons on their heads shone with silver light under the moonlight, and each warrior's eyes shone brightly, indicating their joyful mood at this moment.
Launching attacks at night has always been a tactic that the Jiangnan garrison was good at.
Based on the confrontation between the north and the south during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, generally speaking, the south was on the defensive and the north was on the offensive.
The Di Qin army, as the offensive side, was not familiar with the terrain near Jingling, and this familiarity was the advantage of the southern army.
Moreover, night attacks have another major advantage, which can only be understood in actual combat.
That is the weakening of the role of cavalry.
There was a proverb in ancient wars: A ship in the south and a horse in the north.
In the geographical scope of China, the separatist government generally has two modes: east-west separatism and north-south separatism along the major geographical dividing lines.
There is basically no difference in weapons and combat methods between the eastern and western regimes. For example, the Northern Qi and the Northern Zhou were both known for being good at cavalry assault operations.
The regimes between the North and the South were very different. The North had plenty of war horses and was good at using cavalry in battles, while the South had almost no good pastures suitable for raising war horses, and the ruled area was covered by a dense network of rivers. All actions, including combat, had to rely on them. ship.
Although the northern army is not adapted to water warfare, any battle must eventually land. Once it lands on the ground, the southern army is still helpless in the face of the powerful northern cavalry impact.
During the long war, the southern troops also figured out many ways to weaken the combat effectiveness of cavalry.
Night battle is one of them, and the effect is very good.
Because of ancient marching operations, there were no electric lights and flares at night, so the light conditions were quite poor.
Therefore, even if they are as tough as the Qin army, they still have to set up camp and have a good rest when night falls.
People need to rest, and war horses also need to rest. The saddle will be taken off the horse's back to relax.
In this case, once the southern troops launched a night raid, it was quite a waste of time for the panicked cavalry to install the saddles.
This gave the Jin army the possibility of victory.
With so many advantages, night fighting has certainly become the first choice of the southern army.
Even if Beifu has enough soldiers and horses, Xie Xuan and the others do not reject this style of play.
A team of two thousand people quickly assembled under the cover of darkness.
Headed by Xie Xuan, Liu Laozhi personally led the team, and Secretary Cheng Wang Mi was a specially invited melon-eating contestant. The Beifu soldiers' night attack team was gradually approaching the river bank.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Di Qin troops, Xie Xuan ordered the soldiers not to light torches. It was God's help. The moon was extremely bright tonight, and the Beifu soldiers who were familiar with the nearby terrain could completely rely on the moonlight to march.
"Secretary Wang, just send us out of the city gate. You'd better go back quickly. The battle will start soon. Swords and guns don't have eyesight, and you don't know martial arts. It won't be good to hurt you." Liu Laozhi said in a low voice, in the darkness of the night. Wang Mi could see disdain written all over his face.
hehe……
Don't think I can't see that you don't care about my safety, you are obviously afraid that I will hold you back.
"General Liu is so concerned. Zhiyuan is grateful. However, I came to Jingling not for fun, but to observe the situation on the battlefield. If you don't let me go to the battlefield, what else will I see?"
Liu Laozhi had good intentions, but he didn't know that he was being regarded as a donkey liver and lungs by someone.
His face was so angry that there was black inside and purple inside the black. He turned to Duan Xian and said: "Brother Duan, Secretary Wang will be left to you. When the war starts, you must protect him. You must not Something went wrong.”
Duan Xian didn't agree directly. Under the clear moonlight, his big eyes were like eagles and wolves. At this moment, how could he be in the mood to care about Wang Mi's safety? Killing more Qin soldiers would be the real deal!
"Zong Wei!"
"The end will be here."
Zong Wei stepped forward. Behind him, the team he sent was ready to go, and everyone was in high spirits.
"We will march later. You will lead the team ahead and mark the water to make it easier for us to return along the way."
Zong Wei took the order, led his men, rushed forward, and quickly joined the Jingling local soldiers led by Huan Yi.
The tactic of marking numbers during night battles had already appeared in the Jin Dynasty. In ancient times, night lighting was extremely poor, although the Jingling defenders were all local soldiers and were extremely familiar with the terrain.
But in the dim night, once the charge begins, many things cannot be guaranteed.
Especially fighting through water.
The river outside Jingling City is deep and rough. It is precisely because of this large river that the Qin army led by the Liang brothers was worried and unsure of attacking the city immediately.
As for the defenders of Jingling City, they are more familiar with the situation of this river and can accurately find where the river is the narrowest and clearest, making it easier for soldiers to cross the river.
