Chapter 237 (1/2)
When Wei Ran heard that Lu Long's envoy was likely to continue to send cavalry to support Wang Xianzhi, his heart jumped.
However, the news was delivered to Tong Ming through Xinying yesterday, which means that Lu Long's Jiedu envoy ordered Qi Bing to be the fastest action the day before yesterday, including many preparations before departure.
It is estimated that it will take more than ten days for thousands of riders to come from thousands of miles away from Liaodong.
Thinking of this, Wei Yancai was relieved. It seemed that the cavalry could not catch up with the decisive battle to be launched next.
Then he asked Tong Ming about the elite strength of Wang Xianzhi's army.
It is learned that Wang Xianzhi's elite is about 40000 people. They all have iron armor and heavy helmets. Their equipment is no worse than that of the officers and soldiers. They are all battlefield veterans. After the captured officers and soldiers have trained their array, their combat effectiveness is very strong, which is equivalent to the elite teeth under the Jiedu envoy of the upper town.
If Wang Xianzhi didn't want to lose his elite too much, otherwise 40000 elite soldiers would join the siege against Li Chengye, even Li Chengye would have a very difficult time.
However, because there were no horses in Henan, the captured horses were scattered and of poor quality. Thousands of cavalry were in the counterattack battle to guard Xuzhou City. It was basically destroyed by Shence cavalry. The remaining scattered war horses are only enough for Scouts.
In this way, the other party's mobility is indeed very poor. The loss of the 3000 elite riders supported by Lu Long's Jiedu envoy should have a great blow to Wang Xianzhi, and Wei Ran is more confident about the next battle.
After asking Wang Xianzhi about his army's various tactics and methods, Wei Ran checked with several tortured soldiers for a while and found that what others knew was almost the same as that of Tong Ming. Under the mutual confirmation, these people did not tell lies.
Wei Ran saw that Tong Ming did cooperate, so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder. ”Don't worry, if you cooperate like this, I won't kill you, but I won't let you go. After we leave, you'll have no problem running away, as long as you don't get eaten by wild animals. ”
Tong Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words in front, but the words in the back made his heart sink again.
Wei Ran didn't care about the idea of these prisoners. The Geneva Convention hasn't appeared yet. He hasn't had the consciousness to abide by the rules of treating prisoners kindly. This thing is a joke in the East.
He returned to his campfire, lay on the grass and took a nap, waiting for ah Li's news.
A Liru did it yesterday. He became a mouse and sneaked into Wang Xianzhi's camp. He once again obtained the transformation and change of the whole military camp by hypnosis.
The internal business has not changed much. After all, the internal business is mainly aimed at Li Chengye. The most changed is the outer camp, which expands the traps more and arranges the outer camp more closely and firmly. Obviously, it is to prevent Wei ran from continuing the night raid.
However, the camp is so large that the thief army has just started construction. To completely build the planned camp, it can't be completed in two or three days.
Then go through Wang Xianzhi's camp and come to the hill where Zuo Shence is located.
At this time, he changed back to Firefox and ran straight inside.
There was a commotion when the soldiers saw it. They saw such a big fox and had not seen meat for many days. Naturally, they couldn't stand it and wanted to hunt it.
When a Li was hypnotized by a group, most of the soldiers with low martial arts did not know what they were going to do just now, so that a Li entered the middle military camp openly.
At this time, Li Chengye was in the commander's camp. He looked at the tactical map and even built a sand table to pinch out all the places that had been clearly explored by his own side and the enemy.
However, Wang Xianzhi's camp is solid after all, and there are many deep ditches and traps, so many places are ambiguous.
