Chapter 908 Military Meeting at the Governor¡¯s Mansion (Part 2)

    As for other sections of the river, there are no conditions for large-scale boat crossings.  If you don't bring the special weapons, magic weapons, and talismans used in battle formations, they won't be of much use when you come here. They're just gifts.

    The best way to cross the river is to first cross some monks, set up a large defensive array before the other party can react, then quickly build a pontoon bridge, quickly transport troops through the pontoon bridge, and then transfer grain, grass and baggage after the river crossing point is consolidated.

    The most dangerous thing about using this method to cross the river is the first day. Once the monks who crossed the river in advance are discovered, they will be easily annihilated if they are isolated and helpless, resulting in heavy losses.

    And with the passage of time, after many years of confrontation between the two armies along the Baihe River, this method has become even more difficult to implement. The two armies have built a large number of observation posts along the river bank. As long as the flying talisman of one post is activated, a large number of observation posts will be activated.  News would soon come to the camp.

    After much deliberation, Wu Huawen¡¯s last remaining option may be to use flying magic weapons, but in this case, the number of these rare soldiers will be pitifully small.  A precious flying magic weapon can usually only carry twenty or thirty people, or ten sergeants plus their equipment.  If he wanted to transport a thousand people with food, grass and baggage, he would need ten flying magic weapons and run back and forth more than ten times.

    Lou Guan Sect only has one flying magic weapon, how many can Wu Huawen mobilize?  What's more, if so many flying magic weapons come over, the Ming army will smile until their faces bloom. The fourth-level battle array ballistae is the nemesis of flying magic weapons. It is fast and accurate to hit flying magic weapons!

    So no matter how you think about it, everyone thinks that the number of troops sent by Wu Huawen will not exceed 1,000, or even 800.  As for the method used by these eight hundred people to cross the river safely, everyone debated for a long time and could not come up with an answer.

    Temporarily putting aside how Wu Huawen crossed the river, we began to discuss the scope of his troops and attack targets.

    Those present were all generals who had fought the war. According to the scale of troop mobilization and baggage supply, they immediately drew a line on the sand table.

    Wu Huawen will definitely not go too deep after crossing the river. The area between the west of this line and the east of Baihe is within the reach of Wu Huawen. If he wants to go deeper to the east, it will be a suicidal advance. I believe Wu Huawen  The pattern won't be that stupid.

    Within this scope, we first eliminate the three crossings where it is easiest to cross the river, namely Chewa Valley, Yueliangdu, and Anqu Village. These three places are firmly guarded by Ming army camps. A sneak attack by light troops on a heavy fortress can be successful.  Since ancient times, I dare not say that there is only one example in a thousand battles, but at least it is rare in a hundred battles. It is a stroke of luck.

    ??Excluding these three points, there is only one thing left, and that is Hongyuan City, Songfanwei's transshipment platform.

    At this point in the discussion, everyone looked at Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Although I am a Taoist priest of the Zongsheng Hall and the abbot of the White Horse Courtyard, to be honest, I have never experienced fighting in a battle formation. But these two  When I was in charge of Hongyuan, I did not delay the construction of the city wall. Now Hongyuan has two layers of city walls, one of which is the inner city wall, which we call the inner ring. Although it is not high, it is strong enough. At the same time, the most significant effect of this city wall is  It is undoubtedly convenient for travel, in other words, it has a strong inside advantage.¡±

    After a pause, he continued: "The outer city wall, which is what we call the outer ring in Hongyuan, is one foot and a half high and one to one and a half feet thick. Although it is still not high, it is stronger than before. Ning Shouyu looks at it  After many times, he knows better.¡±

    Ning Deshou nodded and said: "It is difficult to deal with a large army, but it is not a problem to withstand the siege of hundreds of people. You just need to be on guard."

    Xia Jidao: "If Wu Huawen's intention is to break up Hongyuan City, then we can arrange it like this. Chishui Thousand Households has ceased operations, and has stationed in the southwest of Hongyuan in various deceptive ways, hiding on the left wing of Hongyuan City. Abbot Zhao, there is  Is there no suitable place to station troops secretly?"

    Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "Geyong Village." He pointed out the location of the village on the sand table.

    Xia Ji nodded: "Let's use this as the left wing! Xiaohe Qianhu Station is also moving closer to Hongyuan City. It must move quietly and secretly"

    Zhao Ran pointed to the sand table and said, "Mengshui Village."

    Xia Ji looked at the location, nodded and said: "It's Mengshui Village! You two thousand households can complete the move within half a month, can you do it?"

    Zhang and Li, two thousand-household residents, responded: "Follow the order!"

    Xia Ji then said to Commander Cao: "Deploy troops from our own guards and surround Wu Huawen under the city at all times. Make sure not to let him escape!"

    After finishing the general military strategy, all the soldiers looked at Yan Yunyi.  Zhao Ran also looked at Yan Yunyi, waiting for his judgment on this military strategy in terms of the monks' assistance in the battle.

    Yan Yun is also the second-ranked elder in Huayun Pavilion. He was originally a disciple of Patriarch Longyang, specializing in the layout of magic arrays and the refining of magic weapons.  After Patriarch Longyang disbanded decades ago, all his disciples were dismissed, and Yan Yun was also under the influence of the Lishan Sect of Huayun Hall.He accepted the invitation and joined this school, which also focused on practicing magic formations. He was promoted to a refiner in the Huayun Pavilion and became an elder in the Elder Hall.

    Three years ago, he was appointed to serve as the Songfan Guards in rotation and became the leader of dozens of monks who were on duty in the Songfan Guards and the three garrison camps of Baihe, Hongyuan and Anqu.  After Pei Zhongze left office at the end of his term, he was originally going to return to Huayun Mountain, but something unexpected happened like he suddenly left Xixia and was preparing to attack the Baihe defense line. Therefore, he could only stay temporarily and wait until the battle was completed before handing over his duties.

    Zhao Ran has been to the Chewa Valley several times in the past few years. When it comes to the monks taking turns to fight against the Songfan Guards, he still supports it.

    Because the Zongsheng Hall is newly established and there are few people, Yuhuang Pavilion stated that it will not allocate rotation quotas to the Zongsheng Hall within five years. It will be determined after the sixth year based on the specific situation.  But Zhao Ran had already made plans, and planned to discuss with his teacher Jiang Tenghe and senior brother Wei Zhizhen to send people to Songfan Guards to participate in the battle from the fourth year, that is, next year.

    In his opinion, war is an excellent platform for sharpening Taoism and Taoism. It will not work behind closed doors. In the future, the monks who go out of the Zongsheng Hall must be able to fight. This is the undoubtedly development direction.

    Let's not mention the Zong Sheng Hall rotation battle, but just talk about Yan Yunyi's opinion on Governor Xia's strategy. He did not change it at all. He just said: "This strategy is feasible, but I don't know if the Xixia imperial party dares to take the risk.  Send monks at the peak of the Arhat Realm to cross the river. If one or two can come, it would be really wonderful."

    The peak of the Arhat Realm is equivalent to the junior level of the Taoist Great Refiner, or a weakened version of the Great Refiner. Without knowing it, it is quite difficult to destroy a Buddhist monk at the peak of the Arhat Realm.  But now that we know that Xixia is about to launch a surprise attack, and we have a rough judgment on the direction and purpose of the advance, it is feasible to take the opportunity to leave one behind.

    This is what Yan Yunyi hopes to see most.
