The first thousand two hundred and forty-five chapters
Ningjun camp.
Li Chi stood in front of the sand table and watched Tang Pidian deduce the battle situation on the sand table. Li Chi watched every move of Old Tang carefully.
The battle situation is now very clear, and the power of the battle has changed from four sides to two sides.
Li Chi and Tang Pidian didn't know what was happening in Yangzhou. After all, even if there were spies in Yangzhou, there were not enough time to send the news back.
Moreover, the incident happened in Yangzhou suddenly, and even the people behind Guanting Hou could not notice it, let alone Li Chi, who was thousands of miles away.
"How about it?"
When Li Chi saw Tang Pidian put down the small flag in his hand, he immediately asked.
Tang Piddi said: "Some unsure of the incident, but not Han Feibao's side."
He walked aside and drank a sip of water, pointing to a place on the sand table: "One of them is the Chu army in Daxing City. It is unknown whether Dan Tai can suppress them."
He explained: "The Chu army was pieced together. They had no unity at all, and their combat power was ordinary."
"If the Emperor Chu surrendered clearly, the Chu soldiers would probably have their morale to be disintegrated. After Dan Tai went, these people might not want to fight again from the bottom of their hearts, and there might be a large number of deserters."
Li Chi nodded, and he thought of this, so he discussed with Tang Pidian and gave Tang Pidian at least 30,000 elite cavalry to Dan Tai.
With these 30,000 cavalrymen, they can deter and restrain the Chu soldiers, but may not prevent large-scale escape.
Because the escape would not happen in the city, it must have happened before the attack. The Chu army followed the Ning army out of Daxing City and attacked northward, and they could run away as soon as they left the city.
The shock of 30,000 people is not as good as the desire of hundreds of thousands of people to escape.
Tang Pidian pointed to another place: "Here."
Li Chi looked at it and it was the south of Daxing City.
Tang Pidian said: "Han Feibao came around from Liangzhou. The Liangzhou Jiedushi was once Yang Xuanji's man, but later we knew that Yang Xuanji was just a puppet."
Li Chi said: "So when Han Feibao is around in Liangzhou, he is very likely to win over other teams."
Tang Pidian said: "The Liangzhou army has been incorporated by the Chu army, but that is not the whole of the Liangzhou army. I speculate that there are at least 50,000 more than 50,000 soldiers to fight in Liangzhou. With a heavy reward, Han Feibao may also recruit many people. This team will not let him show up easily, but will hide south of Daxing City."
Li Chi took his words and continued: "When the decisive battle is over, this team can play a role in turning the situation around."
Tang Pidian nodded: "These are two relatively large uncertainties. If Dan Tai fails to suppress the Chu army, our chances of winning in this battle are only 60%.
He looked at Li Chi: "If Dan Tai suppressed the Chu army, but there was still a Han Feibao's army in Daxing City, the chances of winning this battle were only 50%.
Because once the fight starts, the Chu army led by Dan Tai is double-teamed by enemies from the south.
Once the Dan Tai side is defeated, Daxing City may be captured by Han Feibao.
Li Chi looked at Tang Pidian and asked, "Will Guanting Hou come at this time?"
Tang Pidian said: "If Han Feibao had ambush and Guanting Hou's troops, our chances of winning in this battle are only 30%.
Li Chi nodded and walked to the side to sit down and think.
"The head of the family."
Zhuang Wudi said: "Give me ten thousand people, I will set up a defense line southeast. If the people from Guanting arrive, I will guard it."
Tang Pidian said: "There are at least 400,000 troops in Guanting Hou. Although the combat power is not very strong, there is no dangerous place to defend there. On the plain, no one can use ten thousand troops to block the attack of 400,000 people."
Zhuang Wudi sighed softly and said nothing more.
"I think of something else."
Li Chi stood up and said, "Han Feibao is standing in front of us now. I'll think about how to solve this problem first."
He looked at Tang Pidian: "If I can make those people not pose a threat, how much chance of winning will we have."
Tang Pidian: "If the problems of innocent people can be solved, even if Guanting Hou arrives, Han Feibao has reinforcements, I will have a 70% chance of winning."
Li Chi turned around and walked out: "I'll go and have a look first."
After he left the tent, he took Yu Jiuling and a team of personal soldiers and rode a horse to leave the Ning Army camp.
The Ning Army Camp and the Yongzhou Army Camp are dozens of miles apart, and there is an empty field between them.
This is a rare plain area in Jingzhou, so Daxing City is also called the Place of Chosen.
Jingzhou has waterways and hills undulate, but Daxing City is surrounded by vast plains.
It is like a shining pearl, embedded in a calm lake.
It is precisely because of the existence of this plain that Daxing City has provided abundant grain production, and this one has remained prosperous for hundreds of years.
Li Chi and his team stopped more than ten miles away from the Yongzhou Army Camp. Li Chi found a slightly higher place and sat on the war horse and looked at it.
On the north side of the Yongzhou Army Camp is where the people are stationed, and there are not even many tents.
The people were like a group of sheep surrounded by evil wolves, and they dared not leave or resist.
"Among millions of people, the daily food and grass consumption is extremely high."
Li Chi raised his eyes and said to himself: "Even if Han Feibao is hungry, he only gives one meal a day, which is not a minority."
After a while, he put his eyes down: "If you can find a way to get in, you will definitely find the food and grass in the refugee camp, and it will definitely not be difficult to find it."
Yu Jiuling said: "All of them are refugees, but the food and grass are in there, so you can see it by taking a look."
Li Chi said: "If we can burn the food and grass in the refugee camp in one fire, the refugees will scatter in a mess."
Yu Jiuling looked at Li Chi and said, "Master, I'll take someone to try it."
Li Chi said: "No hurry, let's go to the other side to take a look."
After saying that, he urged his horse to go down the high slope.
The team went around the flanks of the Yongzhou Army Camp again, and rode a horse for half a day before heading to the east.
Li Chi looked for a relatively high place to observe again. After looking at it for a while, he speculated that the refugee camp camp was half-moon-shaped, forming a half-circle of defense in the north.
"If the refugee camp can catch fire and then use other methods to raid, the refugees will be dispersed."
Li Chi turned around and looked at Yu Jiuling and said, "Let's go back and discuss a solution."
When they returned to the Ningjun camp, it was already dark. Li Chi and the others found Tang Pidian and summoned the generals to discuss.
After hearing Li Chi's words, Bortechina, the leader of the Nalan tribe, said: "I can lead my light cavalry to advance. The refugee camp must not have serious weapons, no protective gear, and no decent formation defense."
Tang Pidian shook his head: "I have seen that Han Feibao sent the people with sharpened long wooden sticks. They did not train them, but they were a large number of people, and they happened to be the nemesis of the light cavalry."
Light cavalry can attack the camp, but cannot impact the heavy gun array.
So many people, as long as they point at the cavalry with long wooden sticks, they dare not charge.
Bortechina sighed, feeling a little frustrated.
Li Chi said: "Han Feibao is not a mediocre person. What we are thinking about now is probably already thinking about, such as what I just said that I want to burn the food and grass in the refugee camp."
Tang Pidian said: "As long as he doesn't care about the trouble, he sends food to the refugee camp every few days, we have nothing to burn. Besides, there is not even a tent in the refugee camp, so we want to burn those who don't even have a camp."
"I have an idea."
Chen Shanhu looked at Li Chi and said, "Lord, give me a few days, I will deduce whether it is feasible."
After saying that, he looked at Bortechina: "I need Ajin to cooperate."
Bortechina said: "Just say it, I will do what you say."
Li Chi and the others were both curious, and followed Chen Shanhu away from the tent and headed towards Bortechina's camp.
Bortechina walked all the way from Nalan Grassland. In addition to his 50,000 cavalry, he also brought a large number of cattle and sheep.
People in the grassland are used to eating beef and mutton, so when they go to war, the number of cattle and sheep they bring far exceeds the number of cavalry.
Chen Xianghu pointed to the herd of cattle: "If we can make the cows go crazy and use the mad cow array to attack the refugee camp, it is actually more scary than setting fire."
Tang Pidian nodded: "It's reasonable."
Chen Shanhu said: "The millions of refugees just dare not run, not they cannot run. They are afraid of Han Feibao's army. If we can attack with the Crazy Bull Formation, the refugees are afraid of Crazy Bulls more than Han Feibao, then..."
Yu Jiuling snapped his fingers: "That's all!"
Tang Piddi looked at Chen Shanhu with a smile and raised his thumbs up: "Yes, I saw this big group of cows the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect that all I was thinking about was how to eat it."
Chen Shanhu smiled and said, "I am a woman, and women are always a little clever."
Next is to try it out, how to make a cow go crazy.
Bortechina smiled and said, "Simple. If you want to use the herd of cattle to scare refugees, just scare the herd of cattle to crazy first."
The other side.
Han Feibao stood outside the tent and pondered. He was not sure about this battle.
He already knew that Li Chi's Ning Jun was good at fighting, and if he wanted to defeat Ning Jun, it depends on whether the one he hid could actually work.
Tang Pidian's speculation was right. Han Feibao did have a team, and he hid in a forest less than 60 miles south of Daxing City.
Daxing City has been closed and no one can go out at will, so the team he hid has never been discovered by the Chu army.
But just as Tang Pidian was worried about the Chu army in Daxing City, what Han Feibao was worried about was whether the team could be reliable.
Reliable, he has the will to win this battle, but it is not reliable... He lost the battle where he bet on his wealth and life.
"Is there any news about the saints and the others?"
Han Feibao turned around and asked.
The subordinate shook his head: "Lord, it has been a long time since there has been no news of the saint master, and there is no way to investigate."
Han Feibao narrowed his eyes.
"Have you escaped?"
He said to himself.
