Their current strength can be directly crushed, there is no need to weaken the strength of Nantang's troops before making a move.
"Our military strength can indeed suppress Nantang, but we are not in a hurry."
Zhou Heng said lightly.
Are you in a hurry?
Hou Wei and the others looked at Zhou Heng again, not understanding what it meant.
"There are only more than 20,000 people in Southern Tang Dynasty now, but if people try their best, do you think we can destroy them before the reinforcements from Lu'an City arrive?"
Zhou Heng asked everyone.
Everyone fell silent, no one can guarantee this point, 20,000 people is just a number, but it is definitely not a small force in a real competition with real swords and guns.
"So we have to disperse the troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty, weaken their strength, and finally defeat them one by one. It is difficult to wipe out 20,000 at the same time, but if we divide them into two groups, it will be easy for us to kill them one by one."
Zhou Heng explained to everyone that Zhou Heng didn't want to disperse the Southern Tang troops because of the strength of the troops, but because of the time calculation, he dispersed the Southern Tang troops and chose to defeat them one by one.
"Your Highness is right."
After listening to Zhou Heng's words, everyone felt that what Zhou Heng said was reasonable.
"Then, which road do you think they will go to Victory City, Your Highness?" After everyone knew Zhou Heng's intentions, they began to observe the map together.
Victory City is adjacent to Taihang Mountain, so there are many roads from Taihang Mountain to Shengli City, extending in all directions, and it is impossible for us to guard all the roads.
"I think it's this one!" The surroundings pointed out a road on the map, "This road is flat and there is no obstacle to marching."
Hou Wei felt that if it was him, he would definitely choose this path.
"I think it's this one. You see, although this road is not as smooth as Hou Wei said, it's a bit dangerous, but it's close. It takes less than a day and a half to arrive at Victory City."
Lu Yue also pointed out a way.
Both Lu Yue and Hou Wei have their own reasons for the paths they mentioned.
Zhou Heng didn't speak, neither did the others.
"Your Highness, do you think they will not choose either of these two paths?" Seeing Zhou Heng who said nothing, Pang Zhong asked. Zhou Heng's silence should be because he disagreed with Hou Wei and Lu Yue's proposal.
"Um."
Zhou Heng nodded.
It was really hit by Pang Zhong. Zhou Heng was not optimistic about the way Hou Wei and Lu Yue said. What they both said made sense. These two ways must be the first choice.
However, there is a huge problem with these two roads, that is, too many people pass by, there is no concealment, and a rapid march is easy to be noticed.
Since it was a surprise attack on Victory City, how could they choose such two obvious paths? They would definitely choose the hidden path. Even if it takes a little longer and the ground is difficult to walk, it is better than being discovered.
"I choose this path."
Zhou Heng pointed out a way at the end.
"this road?"
Lu Yue glanced at it and frowned. The road Zhou Heng pointed out was a detour, and it would take at least three days to resist Victory City.
And the mountain road is not easy to walk.
"Why?"
Hou Wei asked, Hou Wei's question was also what Lu Yue wanted to know.
"Simple, don't you see that this day's road is more hidden than the road chosen by the two of you? It's not easy to detect. You have to analyze the problem from the perspective of Nantang, not from your own perspective. For example, we are now in Nantang. Soldiers and horses, we only have 20,000 people now, and raiding Victory City is the only hope."
"If it were me, I would definitely not choose the two paths you two mentioned, because if someone finds out, my plan to raid Victory City may be exposed, so I will choose the hidden path, even if it is It is worth spending a little time, this is a surprise attack, not support, if it is the best choice to support the road that the two of you said, do you think I am right?"
Zhou Heng asked Hou Wei and Lu Yue.
Zhou Heng asked Hou Wei and Lu Yue to analyze the problem from the perspective of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If it was a surprise attack, they would choose which road, the easily discovered road or the hidden road.
"I choose what your Highness said."
Hou Wei thought for a while and chose the path Zhou Heng said, which is highly concealed and not easy to be discovered.
The path Hou Wei chose just now was mainly because of Hou Wei's preconceived ideas. Now they have no fear and can take the best official path.
No need??Be discovered, and even wish to be discovered to put pressure on the enemy.
"Then shall we send troops?"
Li Xingba asked if they should send troops to ambush now that they had deduced the path the other party was going to take.
"Don't worry, it will take three days for them to choose this path. We can completely solve the problem here, and then we can deal with them."
Zhou Heng said calmly, feeling that all this is not a problem at all in Zhou Heng's view, without any difficulty or threat.
"Your Highness is wise."
Everyone admired Zhou Heng's wisdom
The Southern Tang Army and Horse Camp.
Pingkang ordered 15,000 troops.
"I leave it to you all!"
Ping Kang said seriously.
He took away 15,000 people, and there were very few people left in the camp who could fight.
Ping Kang was really worried. If Shu Bo and the others couldn't support Zhou Heng and the Bai Zhan Army, he would also be in danger of being exposed, and they would all be in a desperate situation.
"Don't worry, general, I hope the general will be successful this time." Everyone began to bid farewell to Ping Kang, because Ping Kang was their last hope.
If Pingkang can win Victory City, they will have a chance to fight back.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely live up to my fate."
Ping Kang nodded in response.
"General, let me prepare for how long it will take you to get to Shengli City." Someone asked Ping Kang how long it would take, and told the time, so that they would have a bottom line here.
"Three days." Ping Kang replied.
"Three days? Doesn't it only take one and a half days to get to Victory City from here?" Shu Bo asked in amazement, he didn't understand why Ping Kang took twice as long.
"I want to take a detour. If we are discovered, our strategy will be in vain." Ping Kang said, he also wanted to reach Victory City quickly, but the facts did not allow it.
"Understood, please, General."
Everyone sent Pingkang away.
And in a hidden place far away, Tian Zhang and Zhen Feng were observing what was happening.
"Did you see it?"
Tian Zhang asked.
"I see, where are they going?" Zhen Feng frowned and asked, the direction from these people did not seem to be heading towards their Hundred Wars Army.
"It doesn't matter, go back and tell His Highness, and see what His Highness says."
Tian Zhang said calmly.
The two of them didn't stay too long, and immediately took people back to the camp to report the matter to Zhou Heng, so that Zhou Heng could make up his mind and see how to deal with the current scene. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
