Chapter 613

Tang Yin rubbed his chin, pondered for a long time, and asked, "Ziying, what do you think?"

Ziying said: "If our army attacks by force in this battle, we may be in danger of being wiped out."

At this time, Xiao Muqing also climbed up. After hearing what Ziying said, he immediately answered: "The annihilation of the entire army is not a bit alarmist, but a strong attack will definitely cause heavy losses to our army."

Tang Yin asked: "Mu Qing, do you also think it will be difficult for our army to win this battle?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Muqing smiled bitterly and said: "If we want to forcefully cross the Zhang River, our warships must be at least as large as Ning's army. Otherwise, it will be difficult to win."

This is nonsense. The shipbuilding industry in Feng Country is very backward and has never fought a water war. There is no navy in the country, let alone large warships. It is estimated that it will take at least three to five years to build a fleet of the size of the other side. Time, Tang Yin was determined to destroy Ning, how could he wait so long.

Without saying anything, he turned around and got off the watchtower, striding back to the central military tent. The other generals looked at each other, no one dared to speak, and silently followed Tang Yin back to the tent. Tang Yin wandered back and forth after the Shuai case, his mind racing, thinking about how he could successfully cross the Zhang River.

Ning Guo's million-strong army was defeated by him. Tang Yin did not believe that the mere Zhang River in front of him could stop his own army from advancing westward. But how can we successfully get through it? Tang Yin thought for a long time and suddenly thought that when he crossed the Pan River, he was in the same situation as he is now. Since the enemy is strong and we are weak, we should avoid its sharp edges and find a secret place to cross the river quietly.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said, "Letian, Ai Jia!"

"The general is here!" Upon hearing his call, Lotte and Ai Jia hurriedly came out of the queue and saluted.

Tang Yin said sternly: "You two should go and investigate quickly to see where there are weakly defended and hidden places along the Zhang River. It would be best if you can draw a sketch and show it to me in three days."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Letian and Ai Jia both agreed, turned around and hurried away.

Tang Yin said to the generals on his left and right: "You generals must have not forgotten that when our army crossed the Pan River, we tried to avoid the enemy's sharp edge and sneaked to the other side quietly. The Zhang River is much longer than the Pan River. It is impossible for Ning's army to do so." There are precautions everywhere, and there must be weaknesses in them. As long as we find the weak points in Ning's defense, it will no longer be difficult for our army to cross the Zhang River. "

Hearing what he said, Xiao Muqing and others nodded. It would be great if they could cross the Zhang River quietly through the gap in the enemy's defense. As long as they could get ashore and fight on land, our soldiers would never be afraid of anyone. ! This time, before anyone else could speak, Xiao Muqing was the first to praise: "Your Majesty is extremely wise, this is a very good strategy."

Tang Yin grinned, sat down slowly, leaned back, and fell into deep thought again. All he had to do now was wait for Letian and Ai Jia to bring back the exact news.

Letian and Ai Jia did not spend three days. The next night, they hurried back to the Fengjun camp. After meeting Tang Yin, Ai Jia took out the sketch of the Zhang River she had drawn and spread it on the bank of the table. He said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, we will eventually find a good place for our army to sneak across."

"Oh?" Tang Yin perked up and said hurriedly: "Show it to me."

"This is here!" Ai Jia pointed at the map and said, and then she continued: "The Ning Army's defense range is ten miles from the north to the south, and this place is located twenty miles south of the Ning Army camp. The water flow here is gentle and the river is narrow. What's more important is that there is a large dense forest across the river. Our troops can immediately hide in the forest and complete various combat preparations after landing. "

Tang Yin's eyes lit up, this was a rare and important place! He turned to look at Lotte and asked him if this place was really what Ai Jia said. Lotte smiled and nodded in response: "The general's investigation is the same as that of General Ai. This place is indeed suitable for our army to sneak into."

The investigation results of Letian and Ai Jia were consistent, which made Tang Yin completely relieved. He put his hands on his hands and smiled, lowered his head, looked at the sketch for a while, and said in a loud voice: "Gather all the generals to come to the central military tent to discuss matters!"

"yes!"

Tang Yin gave the order, and the generals of the Feng Army rushed to the central military tent. After everyone arrived, Tang Yin signaled to Ai Jia, who took out the sketch and explained it in detail to everyone. After listening to Ai Jia's introduction, people were all surprised and happy. With such a convenient place to cross the river, it would be feasible for our own side to cross the river.

"Soldiers are valuable and quick. Generals, please tell me when our army should launch an attack?" Tang Yin looked around at everyone with a smile.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Yuan Fang saluted Tang Yin and said, "This matter is of great importance, but I think we should be more cautious about this matter."

Hearing this, Lotte and Ai Jia both frowned. The former said nothing, while Ai Jia showed displeasure and asked with a sneer: "Mr. Yuan Fang, do you think we made a mistake in our investigation?"

Yuan Fang smiled and said: "No, no, no, I have absolutely no intention of doing so, but as far as I know, Changsun Yuanhong is very good at commanding troops and has excellent strategies. With such a big loophole in Hexi, he should not fail to do so." Inspector, I wonder if this is a deliberate plan by Chang Sun Yuanhong, to give us a loophole to lure our army into taking the bait?"

"Joke!" Ai Jia sneered and said, "I have just said that the Ning Army's defense line is ten miles from the north to the south, and this place is a full twenty miles away from Ning Camp. The Ning Army's defense line does not extend to this place. It’s normal for Changsun Yuanhong not to notice.”

Yuan Fang sighed and said, "That's what I said, but we can't help but be on guard! General Ai also said that there is a dense forest on the other side of this place, which is suitable for our army to hide on the spot after landing, but it is also suitable for the enemy to ambush. Once the Ning army sets up an ambush in the dense forest, won't our soldiers crossing the river be completely exposed to the enemy's arrow formation?"

Ai Jia's face flushed a little, and her phoenix eyes glared at Yuan Fang. After holding it in for a long time, she said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! Mr. Yuan Fang is from Ning, and you are the one who has the least right to speak here. Who knows what your intentions are?!"

Her words were what everyone present was worried about, but no one had the nerve to say it out loud, because it was too hurtful. What if Yuan Fang really wanted to join her side, wouldn't he be angry and run away after saying this?

Sure enough. After hearing what Ai Jia said, Tang Yin's face suddenly darkened, and he said, "General Ai, watch your words. Since Mr. Yuan Fang has joined our army, he is our brother. I don't want to hear the suspicious words just now again." Even if he has doubts, he can't make them public, and he has to investigate secretly. He added another sentence in his heart. Although Yuan Fang helped Tang Yin, the latter did not trust him 100%. If nothing else, it was difficult for Tang Yin to completely let down his guard against Yuan Fang because he was a Ningren.

Hearing Tang Yin's rebuke, Ai Jia secretly stuck out her tongue, and realized that her words were too harsh. She bowed her head and replied, "Your Majesty, you are right. I understand."

Tang Yin smiled at Yuan Fang apologetically and said, "Mr. Yuan Fang, General Ai just said something in anger. Don't take it to heart."

Yuan Fang looked calm, smiled and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, you are too harsh."

Seeing Yuan Fang's reaction, Tang Yin frowned secretly. According to Yuan Fang himself, he was born as a ranger, and rangers always value their reputation the most. Ai Jia just spoke so bluntly, Yuan Fang should be very unhappy, but now he seems to be fine. Does he really have such a broad mind?

Just when Tang Yin was suspicious, Le Tian stepped out with a smile and said, "Mr. Yuan Fang, you are worrying too much. I have already sent my subordinates to sneak to the other side to explore whether there is an ambush in the forest. I will get the exact news tomorrow at the latest."

Oh? Yuan Fang was stunned when he heard this, then nodded with a smile and said, "General Le is thoughtful and admirable."

The war was imminent, and Tang Yin was too lazy to think about Yuan Fang. As long as he sent someone to keep a close eye on him, he would not be afraid of his tricks. Tang Yin took a deep breath, stood up, looked around at everyone, and said seriously, "Everyone go back and get ready. As long as we get the news that there are no ambushes on the other side, our army will secretly cross the Zhang River tomorrow and night!"

"Yes! King!"

The generals took the order and turned away. When Cheng Jin was about to leave with everyone, Tang Yin stopped him. After everyone left the tent, he called Cheng Jin to his side and whispered, "Cheng Jin, send two capable brothers to dress up as guards and keep a close eye on Yuan Fang. This battle is crucial, and our army's information must not be leaked."

Cheng Jin nodded, and then asked, "Does your Majesty think there is something wrong with Yuan Fang?"

Tang Yin smiled and said, "It's hard to say for now, but this person is from Ning and has just joined our army, so it's better to be careful."

Cheng Jin responded, but then looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak. Tang Yin was amused by this and raised his head and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

"Your Majesty, although Yuan Fang's cultivation is not profound, he is a spiritual cultivator after all. He can distinguish between light spiritual cultivators and dark spiritual cultivators. Letting the brothers of Anjian dress up as guards may be seen by Yuan Fang." Cheng Jin said with heavy concerns.

This is a problem. Tang Yin knocked his forehead and said, "How about this, you pick a few more people from my guards, make good explanations, and then send them to Yuan Fang."

"Yes! King! I understand." Cheng Jin bowed and turned away.

At this time, Tang Yin was the only one left in the big tent. Looking at the empty tent, he sat down slowly and sighed. Whether he could destroy Ning and leave unmatched achievements in the history of Fengguo would depend on tomorrow's battle. If the battle is successful, there will be no resistance and we can attack Liangzhou in one fell swoop. If it fails, not only will we fail to destroy Ningguo, but the Hedong area that we just conquered will also be in danger. As the king of a country and the commander of the entire army, Tang Yin gradually realized that this position was not so easy to sit. While having supreme power, he also carried heavy burdens, responsibilities and pressures.

I hope this battle can be successful in one blow like the Battle of Panshui! Tang Yin muttered silently in his heart. But he never expected that the war would go against his wishes.
