Chapter three hundred and thirty second battle clouds(2/2)
"Huang Zong, how many soldiers can fight the imperial army now?"
"About 80,000. They are scattered in the mountains and forests of various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River and practice secretly on small lakes and islands, and they can be fought."
The King of Thailand pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "80,000" The prince also had 80,000 people in the first place. In addition, 50,000 troops stationed in Youzhou, a total of more than 130,000 people. With the disturbance of Fang Zheng, the whole army was wiped out. I only had 80,000 people, how could I know the outcome?"
Huang Zong said respectfully: "Master, the Turks have agreed to cross the Yellow River in three days to go south and meet our army. Their 20,000 men and horses are all cavalry with hundreds of battles. They are familiar with horse wars. The south of the Yangtze River is a plain, which is conducive to cavalry charges. Besides, the Turks have always had strong combat power, and 20,000 cavalry can only stop the 100,000 army of the court."
The King of Thailand shook his head slightly and said, "In the future, when the troops are directed directly to the capital, maybe they have to rely on the power of the Turks, there is no need at this time. I plan to occupy Yangzhou first, have a fixed city to provide us with food and supplies, and we can attack and retreat, so why should we be afraid of the imperial army? As for the Turkish soldiers, I don't expect them to help. Their mission is to delay the border troops of Youzhou and Qizhou in the north, and prevent them from going south, and form a frontier and back attack on me. In this way, great achievements can be achieved.
"The Lord is wise!"
The King of Thailand sighed, "Why did the prince fail at the beginning? Because he was too confident and thought that a battle could determine the world, so he did not consider occupying a city for a long time and was willing to fight. In this way, he put himself in a desperate situation. He retreated on the front line, and retreated without defense, and his morale was dispersed. How could a soldier not be defeated without fighting spirit?"
The King of Thailand smiled: "I am different from the prince. I am not only worried about victory but also defeat. Only by advancing and retreating can I make long-term plans for the country. I cannot rely on one battle and one battle. I will turn Jiangnan into a battlefield that strangles the imperial army, and then enter the capital. After millions of people kneel down and ascend to the throne and become emperor.
As he said that, the King of Thailand suddenly burst into laughter, his voice as shrill as a night owl.
"Zong Huang ordered private troops from all over the country to gather and set out to Yangzhou to prepare for the attack!"
