The red lady's words were like a sharp sword cutting through the fog in Li Yan's mind.
There was a twinkle in his eyes.
"Madam, bring me the map!"
The red lady was stunned for a moment. She looked at Li Yan in front of her with curiosity in her eyes. She didn't quite understand why Li Yan suddenly changed so much. Is there anything special about these two sentences?
No!
Although she was a little confused, the red lady took out the map next to her and handed it to Li Yan in front of her.
At this time, Li Yan had a solemn expression in his eyes and quickly began to look at the map in front of him.
Soon, Li Yan drew a line on the map.
This line was Mingjun's main grain transportation channel, starting from Dongchang Prefecture, then Daming Prefecture, and finally from Wei County to Guangping Prefecture.
This is a grain transport route.
Theoretically, it is very possible for Hong Chengchou to attack Daming Mansion in order to replenish food, because there is indeed a large amount of food stored in Daming Mansion.
After capturing Daming Mansion, Hong Chengchou could completely defend it and defend it for a long time. No matter from any angle, capturing Daming Mansion was the best choice.
But at this moment, when I already know that Hong Chengchou will attack Daming Mansion, will Hong Chengchou still attack Daming Mansion under such circumstances???
Obviously, Hong Chengchou was not that stupid. The Ming army had already returned to defend Daming Mansion. At this time, Daming Mansion was definitely difficult to capture. It was foolish to attack such a strong city at this time.
The result is that after they are trapped in the quagmire, without food supplements, this kind of lonely army will only collapse!
Therefore, it is obvious that Hong Chengchou will never attack Daming Mansion!
"Hong Chengchou's destination is here!"
Li Yan's eyes flashed with light and he said to the red lady in front of him.
The red lady was stunned for a moment, and she glanced at the place where Li Yan was pointing.
"Wei County??"
The red lady was stunned for a moment, but soon her expression became serious.
"But, if Wei County is just a county town after all, even if they capture it, they can't defend it even if there are food and wages inside! What can they do when our people surround us?"
The red lady is also a person who knows soldiers. She asked Li Yan in front of her with some curiosity.
"Who said they have to guard it?"
Li Yan's eyes showed a strong light.
"From the beginning, Hong Chengchou never thought about how to defend. What he thought about from the beginning was how to attack! As long as he directly ignores us and goes to Daming Mansion, he only needs to leave some people in Wei County to slightly block our progress.
Then, Hong Chengchou can lead the remaining people and attack Guangping County with all his strength, and then Yongnian County! This madman! He wanted to use our military rations to realize his attack plan from the beginning!"
With a look of wonder in his eyes, Li Yan said to the red lady beside him.
Listening to Li Yan's words, the red lady's face became extremely serious. Her eyes quickly scanned the map, with a look of horror in her eyes.
"Master, what should we do now? Send heavy troops to guard Wei County?"
"it's useless!"
Li Yan looked calmly at the red lady in front of him.
"If we send heavy troops to guard Wei County, on the one hand, Wei County is a county town after all, and the city walls are thin and easy to be breached. And doesn't this just mean that Daming Prefecture's guards are weak?"
From Hong Chengchou's perspective, they may change the direction of their attack in an instant, and when they capture Daming Mansion, we may be even more uncomfortable!"
"Then each of us will divide our troops into eight thousand??"
The red lady looked at Li Yan in front of her with hesitation in her eyes.
"It's no use!"
Li Yan had a wry smile in his eyes.
"At most, it will only delay their progress a little. And in this case, our losses may be even more serious. Maybe all our people will be dead by then!"
As he said this, a wry smile flashed in Li Yan's eyes.
"We don't have much power in our hands. If we continue to divide our forces like this, it can be said that we are playing into their hands!"
"Then what should we do??"
The red lady's face was very serious. Looking at Li Yan in front of her, she hesitated for a moment.
"Then we really have no good solution now!"
"There is a way!"
Li Yan pondered for a moment, looked at the red lady in front of him and said.
"What?"
The red lady was slightly curious and looked at Li Yan in front of her.
"Ambush halfway!"
Li Yan looked at the red lady in front of him seriously and said.
"But, we can't even grasp their route now, how can we ambush them?"
The red lady looked at Li Yan in front of her with doubts in her eyes.
"Then this is our focus next!"
Li Yan pondered for a moment.
Soon, he quickly found the camp manager of Tanma Camp.
"Send out all the Ye Bushou. You must find me the accurate marching route of the Qing army, and then clearly mark it on the map for me! Don't worry about the loss of personnel!"
Li Yan said to the camp manager in front of him with a serious face.
"Yes! Sir!"
Soon, all the Ye Bushou in the Ghost Face Army were quickly dispatched.
The Ghost Face Army also rearranged its route and arrived near Wei County.
But they concealed their marching route and did not enter Wei County directly.
If they enter Wei County at this time, no one knows whether Hong Chengchou has spies in Wei County. If the Ghost Faced Army enters Wei County at this time, maybe Hong Chengchou will notice it and go straight to Daming Mansion!
Therefore, Li Yan also needs to cover his route.
"Interesting, the route of the Ghost Face Army has also disappeared, and our people can't find the Ghost Face Army either!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes.
"There is no movement in Wei County and Daming Mansion. The spies we sent did not see any traces of troops in these two places!"
Duduo's face was slightly serious.
"Is this Li Yan already aware of your intentions??"
"Very possible!"
Hong Chengchou said expressionlessly.
"What should we do???"
Duduo was slightly serious and looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him.
"what to do??"
Hong Chengchou smiled slightly, looked at Duduo in front of him calmly and said: "Continue to follow the original plan. If they are not as good as the city because of this, they will give us a chance! Don't be afraid!
As long as we enter the city, the strength of Li Yan's men will definitely not be able to deal with us!
And at that time, if we have supplies, we will be able to hold on long enough and even have a chance to counterattack! Our current approach is to remain unchanged and respond to changes!"
