The Songhe River twists and turns from north to south, flows through the Xiajiang River, and finally merges into the sea.
The water at the source is swift and steep, and the reefs are densely covered. After passing through the middle and lower reaches, the water level is gentle, and the river surface becomes more and more spacious.
There are many ferries here, and the ships are dense and adjacent to Haozhou and Chenzhou. It is the best springboard for Huang Song to attack Cangzhou.
However, as Feng Jin analyzed, today's Cangzhou is just tasteless to Huang Song, and it is a pity to abandon it.
The only purpose is to attract and mislead Jiang Pengji's firepower. It seems to take Cangzhou directly, but it is actually intended to be Maruzhou and Hu County.
If the main force of Jiang Pengji can be deceived to Cangzhou, then Huang Song's real main force can take the opportunity to sneak attack on the hinterland of Jiang Pengji's forces.
Everyone understands this principle, but fighting is about the truth, not only with logistics and financial resources, but also with psychology to see who can deceive who.
Feng Jin is a sober and rational person, so naturally he is not that easy to be fooled.
Dian Yin, dressed in armor, rushed into the main tent, Meng Hun and Feng Jin bowed their heads to discuss something, and there was a huge sand table in front of them. Nowadays, the sand table is the simplest, but after the improvement of their lord, the sand table has become three-dimensional and exquisite, and the topography of the mountains and rivers is clear at a glance. The sand table in front of Meng Hun and Feng Jin was collected and made by craftsmen under the tent for two or three months.
Just by looking at the sand table, Feng Jin was able to simulate the enemy's further marching routes and movements in his mind.
Dian Yin broke in without notice, his expression was so gloomy that he could drip water, and Feng Jin put down the deduction model.
"Is there any progress ahead?"
Dian Yin walked too hastily, the armor he was wearing was so heavy, and he was breathing heavily when he spoke.
He said, "Counselor - something bad happened, the scouts in front reported back, and the enemy army crossed the river for four consecutive days with 20,000 troops and horses, totaling 80,000!"
Didn't it say that Cangzhou was just a trick by Huang Song, why did he deploy 80,000 troops
Even if more than 50% of the 80,000 soldiers and horses were filled with sailors, there would still be 40,000 elite soldiers left.
40,000 elites are not too many, but there are not so many troops stationed in Cangzhou, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist.
Feng Jin's eyes flashed with surprise after hearing this. According to his understanding of the entire occupation, Huang Song could not have put so many troops in Cangzhou. He has only occupied the land of two states, and his troops are not many. The number of troops alone is as high as 80,000. Is this going to bet on Cangzhou
Feng Jin frowned, Meng Hun on the side also showed a dignified look, Dian Yin panicked, "Master, what should we do now?"
Jiang Pengji only sent 30,000 elites to Cangzhou. Feng Jin calculated the food and forage, and with her consent, he recruited 20,000 "water-injecting soldiers" locally, totaling 50,000 horses. Huang Song sent 80,000 troops at once, and the pressure on Feng Jin suddenly increased.
Meng Hun suggested, "Why don't you write to the lord and ask for more troops?"
Feng Jin categorically refused.
"No, if Cangzhou is increased, Maruzhou and Hu County will be in danger."
In order to save food, material and financial resources, the lord of his own has always followed the route of elite soldiers. This time, it was Feng Jin who made Jiang Pengji nod because of what Feng Jin said. If you ask for more troops, the defense force of Maruzhou and Hu County will be weak, this is courting death!
Feng Jin said, "Even if Cangzhou is lost, nothing will happen to Maruzhou and Hu County."
Seeing this, Meng Hun and Dian Yin immediately closed their lips and stopped opening their mouths.
They all knew that Feng Jin was right.
If Hu County was lost, it would be equivalent to giving Huang Songbai a grain depot in a state, so that he could continue to fight in winter.
If Maruzhou is lost, it is equivalent to the enemy stabbing the heart of one's own forces with a knife, and the ruled land is forcibly cut open, and it is impossible to take care of everything.
Because the two places are so important, Feng Jin couldn't understand why Huang Song sent heavy troops to attack Cangzhou.
This place in Cangzhou needs money but no money, grain but no grain, and war horses... The war horses have been raided by the lord, what oil and water are there
Feng Jin stared at the sand table in a trance, and said for a long time, "Wait for another day, explore and report again!"
The battle between the princes is not only related to the general situation of the world, but also related to one's own life.
If Huang Song wants to win the lord, he can't go wrong.
To attack Cangzhou with heavy troops is a stinky move in itself!
He was in a firm mood, and was not intimidated by the 80,000 troops sent by Huang Song.
On the fifth day, the sky was just dawning, and the thick fog on the Xiajiang River had not yet dissipated. Huang Song sent another 20,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river in boats.
"Another twenty thousand?"
Feng Jin was stunned, Huang Song and his advisors were really kicked by the donkey in their brains
The two sides did not pinch each other's lifeline, but instead ate the small fish and shrimp around. This wave of operations was so arrogant that even Feng Jin couldn't understand it.
Dian Yin breathed heavily, raised his hand and wiped his face with his palm-like palm. The greasy hot sweat wetted his palm, and he casually rubbed on the armor. This armor has not been taken off for two days, and the salt stains after sweat drying are quite uncomfortable to stick to the lining...
Dian Yin said, "Counselor, even if you don't ask the lord to send more troops, Huang Song should report to send a hundred thousand troops to cross the rivers and gorges."
"One hundred thousand? Huang Song fished out all the coffins?" Feng Jin raised his eyebrows, "On the lord's side, Jin will report it by letter."
Seeing this, Dian Yin could only sigh secretly.
Feng Jin's attitude was obvious, he would rather put Cangzhou in danger than save Maruzhou and Hu County.
Thinking of this, Dian Yin's spirit is lifted, and only by raising his spirit can he have a hearty fight with the enemy.
fuck it!
Dian Yin just scolded in his heart, Feng Jin said, "The soldiers sent by Huang Song are about 30,000 or 40,000."
"Thirty or forty thousand? The scout reported that it was clearly one hundred thousand..."
Dian Yin's culture class was supplemented by Yang Simeng, and he couldn't compare to Dr. Wujing, but he was still able to count.
"Because the number of 100,000 is too large, the real force is only 30,000 to 40,000." Feng Jin said, "The military strategy is clear, and the soldiers are not afraid of deceit. If Huang Song really sent 100,000 or more troops to attack Cangzhou, why five It's been a while, and haven't seen any movement yet?"
Feng Jin has no evidence, but he believes in his own judgment.
Meng Hun on the side was extremely surprised, "Then this hundred thousand..."
Feng Jin frowned and said, "Jin suspects that the enemy is likely to be divided into two groups, crossing the river during the day and going back at night. ... If so, everything makes sense."
Dian Yin and Meng Hun: "..."
Is there still this kind of shit
Feng Jin said again, "Of course, this is just speculation."
Dian Yin and Meng Hunqi shuddered. If they couldn't bear the psychological pressure exerted by the enemy, they really asked for more troops—
"To be cautious, we still have to take comprehensive countermeasures and not give the enemy the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
Even if the value of Cangzhou is just a tasteless rib, if it can be swallowed, Huang Song can still taste some meat.
Now he is not afraid to wear shoes with bare feet, but his own lord wants to avoid rats.
Furthermore, the lord of the family is still "in bed with serious illness"...
