Chapter 443
Through Xiao Muqing, Tang Yin had roughly guessed the opponent's strategy. He pondered for a moment and asked: "General Xiao, who do you think the enemy will send to attack us this time?" Xiao Muqing said: "If nothing happens, Zhan Wudi, Hao Zhao, Jiang Fan and others will all come out in full force!" "Haha!" Tang Yin chuckled and said quietly: "Although the enemy's plan is cunning, it is still a good opportunity for us to eliminate the enemy's core generals." "Exactly." He answered in a clean voice.
Tang Yin asked again in a solemn voice: "Are you so sure that the enemy will definitely attack our Chinese camp?" "Yes, sir, now the enemy can only have a chance of winning if it successfully attacks our Chinese camp. After all, my lord is here, and our army's baggage, food and grass are all here. A sneak attack elsewhere, whether it succeeds or fails, is meaningless to the enemy." Xiao Muqing said: "If what I said before was just a guess, then pass. Gu Feng lured our army to the north camp. I am sure that my guess is correct. ""Yes!" Ziying nodded and said seriously: "I agree with General Xiao. Either the enemy is not here. If you attack, you will definitely choose the key points of our army." Tang Yin squinted his eyes, stood up, and paced back and forth in front of the table with his hands behind his back. His mind was racing as he walked. After a while, he realized. He stopped his pace and said with a sneer: "Since the enemy wants to use a stratagem against us, let's give him a general plan. On the surface, our army moved towards the North Camp, but secretly, we set up an ambush in the middle army. The enemy It's okay if the army doesn't come. If they do come for a sneak attack, let them never come back!" Xiao Muqing and Ziying looked at each other, stepped in and saluted, and said, "Sir, Ming Ming!" Tang Yin turned back and blocked the troops from his own camp! He took out the map, spread it on the table, and then waved to Xiao Muqing and Ziying, asking them to come closer. Then, he lowered his head, pointed at the map and said: "Our army can be surrounded by the Chinese army." Set up four ambushes to block the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. As soon as the enemy comes close, they will be like a turtle in a urn..." Tang Yin, Xiao Muqing and Ziying conspired in the Chinese army tent and soon came up with a plan. Countermeasures. After the three people confirmed that they were correct, Tang Yin called the guard commander outside the tent and ordered him to immediately send someone to find Shangguan Yuanrang.
Not long after, Shangguan Yuanrang strode closer from outside the tent. Seeing Xiao Muqing and Ziying there, he was slightly startled, but without saying anything, he walked directly to Tang Yin, bowed and saluted, and asked with a smile: "Sir, are you looking for me?" Since this was not a bill promotion or a discussion, Shangguan Yuanrang seemed very casual.
However, Tang Yin's expression was not at all relaxed in private. He reached out and picked up an order arrow from the commander's desk, and shouted: "Shangguanyuan Rang listens to the order!" Yo! Seeing this, Shangguan Yuanrang was shocked. He immediately put away the smile on his face, knelt down on one knee and said, "The general is here!" "I will give you 20,000 elite soldiers. You don't need to go anywhere tonight. Just Sit in the central military tent!" "Huh?" Shangguan Yuanrang was dumbfounded when he heard this. He wondered if he heard it wrong and asked, "Where do you want me to sit?" Tang Yin pointed to the chair under his butt. Said: "Sit here!" Sir let yourself sit in his seat? Putting aside whether this is in compliance with the rules or not, where are you going?
Shangguan Yuanrang was about to ask a question, but Tang Yin had already said before him: "You are not allowed to ask any more questions, you just have to act as ordered!" Your Excellency gave yourself 20,000 elite soldiers, and did not go anywhere. He just sat in the central military tent. What is this? At this time, Shangguan Yuanrang was a monk of Zhang Er and was confused.
Tang Yin didn't care whether he understood it or not, and continued: "If you encounter an enemy in the Chinese army tent, you must go all out to resist it. If someone rushes out of your place, I will punish him severely. Also, I will explain You are not allowed to reveal this to anyone. If you let out the slightest bit of information, you will bring it up to me! "Do you understand? Shangguan Yuanrang didn't understand what Tang Yin was doing at all, but seeing his stern face, serious expression, and gloomy eyes, he didn't dare to ask more questions and responded: "General, I understand!" "Go!" Tang Yin He handed the command arrow forward and handed it to Shangguan Yuanrang. The latter took it with a frown and wanted to ask Tang Yin where he was going, but before he could say anything, he was turned back by Tang Yin's sharp gaze. He sighed secretly, Said: "I will say goodbye!" After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the tent.
Then, Tang Yin sent people to find Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao. He also gave them 20,000 elite soldiers and ordered them to ambush on the left side of the Chinese army camp. He said similar words to Shangguan Yuanrang. The two of them were also ordered to stand ready and not to let one of them escape if they saw the enemy. At the same time, they were not allowed to leak a single word about the matter.
Finally, Tang Yin found Zhan Hu and Cheng Jin, who were still injured, and asked Zhan Hu to command 20,000 elite troops to ambush on the right side of the Chinese army camp. Cheng Jin led secret arrow personnel to assist and block the invading enemy.
Tang Yin conveyed three secret orders in one breath, with Shangguan Yuanrang as the center, Shangguan Yuanwu, Yuan Biao, Zhan Hu, and Cheng Jin as the left and right. He himself, Xiao Muqing, and Ziying commanded the remaining soldiers to ambush near the camp gate. Cut off the enemy's retreat. After everything was settled, Tang Yin sighed and asked Xiao Muqing and Ziying beside him: "General Xiao, General Ziying, is there anything wrong with my arrangements?" There is nothing wrong with arranging troops to win a thousand-mile battle!" Xiao Muqing said hurriedly, as if she was afraid that others would take away her boastful words.
here we go again! Ziying glanced sideways at Xiao Muqing, somewhat dumbfounded.
If someone who doesn't know the inside story sees this scene, they will definitely think that Xiao Muqing is no different from those villains who can only flatter but have nothing in their stomachs. In fact, it is just the opposite. Xiao Muqing's mind and ability to figure out the opponent's mind are absolutely first-class. The Pingyuan Army has only 100,000 people, but it can be ranked first among all the armies. Of course, it is because the soldiers are strong in combat, but it is also inseparable from Xiao Muqing, an excellent commander.
Seeing that Xiao Muqing and Ziying had no objection to his arrangements and deployments, Tang Yin's tense nerves finally relaxed. He sat on the chair, leaned back, and murmured: "Whether our army can successfully capture Zhangyu and capture the old thief Zhong Tian alive, it will only be in this battle..." Xiao Muqing and Ziying's faces straightened, and they said in unison: "Don't worry, sir, our army will win this battle!" Tang Yin squinted his eyes, smiled but didn't say anything, but his hands were slowly clenched.
Tang Yin had already made the corresponding preparations and deployments. On the other side, the atmosphere in Zhangyu City was also extremely tense. After Gu Feng went to the battle, he was indeed captured alive by the Tianyuan Army according to the original strategy. However, whether Gu Feng had gained the trust of the Tianyuan Army and successfully led the main force of the enemy to the North Camp, Zhong Tian, Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Wudi, Xiao Shang and others did not know.
That day, almost when the sky just got light, Zhan Wushuang climbed the tower and looked at the camp of the Tianyuan Army. Watching the every move of the Tianyuan Army, he was disappointed that after a morning, the camp of the Tianyuan Army was calm and there was no sign of the movement of troops.
Seeing this, Zhan Wushuang couldn't help but worry secretly, thinking that Gu Feng might not play the role he had expected.
When it was time to eat, Zhan Wushuang didn't go down the tower, but just asked someone to bring the food up and put it aside.
At this time, Zhong Tian, Zhan Wudi, Xiao Shang, Hao Zhao, Jiang Fan and others all came. Zhong Tian pretended to look at the Tianyuan Army camp outside the city and asked, "General Wushuang, has the Tianyuan Army taken the bait?" Zhan Wushuang shook his head slowly. At least, until now, there has been no sign of the Tianyuan Army concentrating on the North Camp.
Zhong Tian swallowed his saliva and comforted him, "General Wushuang, don't be too anxious. Maybe the Tianyuan Army dare not move troops during the day, and it is not impossible to wait until night to concentrate on the North Camp!" Knowing that what Zhong Tian said made sense, Zhan Wushuang was still worried.
Zhan Wudi stepped forward and whispered, "Brother, no matter whether the enemy army has fallen into the trap or not, we still have to eat!" Zhan Wushuang smiled bitterly. Now his heart was in his throat, how could he have an appetite. This battle was too important for them. If they succeeded, they would have the possibility of turning defeat into victory. If they failed, they might never be able to return to Ningguo again.
At this moment, Jiang Fan, who was standing in front of the arrow turret and looking out, suddenly said: "The enemy has fallen into the trap. Although it is not visible on the surface, the troops are already gathering towards the North Camp." Hearing this, everyone present was shocked and subconsciously raised their heads to look at the Tianyuan Army camp. However, they did not see a large group of troops moving in the camp. People frowned at the same time and looked at Jiang Fan strangely, wondering how he came up with that sentence just now.
Hao Zhao and Jiang Fan have a good personal relationship. If it were someone else, he would have ridiculed him long ago, but even so, he still rolled his eyes at Jiang Fan in dissatisfaction.
Zhan Wushuang was the first to ask: "General Jiang Fan, how do you know that the enemy has fallen into the trap?" "Yes, I haven't seen any changes in the enemy camp!" Zhong Tian interrupted at this time, pretending to know.
Jiang Fan turned around, saluted Zhong Tian, and said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, General Zhan, although the Tianyuan Army has not made large-scale mobilization in the camp, I am sure that the main force of the Tianyuan Army has or will be assembled in the North Camp. Your Majesty, please look..." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the Tianyuan Army's camp, saying: "The enemy's grain carts have been moving all the time, and grain and grass are being transported from the Central Army to the North Camp. It can be seen that the main force of the enemy has either assembled in the North Camp or will be assembled in the North Camp." Everyone took a breath when they heard this, and looked in the direction of Jiang Fan's finger.
Because the distance was too far, it was impossible for Zhong Tian, who had not practiced spiritual martial arts, to see the small grain cart clearly. He stared at the Tianyuan Army's camp for a long time, his eyes were sore, and he didn't find where the grain cart Jiang Fan said was.
