Chapter 45: The Tactics of the Commander

In just ten breaths, the nine generals who followed Bai Li in a formation outside the south gate came to the front.

After another short wait, the eleven generals who had gone to the rest of the gates at the beginning also gathered with the heralds.

The twenty generals stood solemnly in front of Bai Li, their eyes resolute, and they were all looking forward to the next commander's order! Sure enough, Bai Li did not hesitate, and directly stated the primary task:

"This evil light cover bloody method, I believe everyone has seen it, and there is no need to say more. The lives of the people in that cover are hanging by a thread, we will save people first, and then try to do anything else!"

All the generals thought that the mask was in danger, but the threat of the mask could not be eliminated, so how could they save people? Bai Li knew everyone's concerns and said:

"How to deal with this light mask, Ben Shuai just tried a method at the south gate, it should be effective, and he had a strategy, so he worked hard for all the generals to come. ”

Bai Li bowed his hand to the generals, and explained to them in detail the previous attempts of the Black Feather Arrow of the Divine Crossbow. Although nine of the generals had already seen it with their own eyes, and they were not as surprised as the generals who came later, the twenty people present were all full of fighting spirit after hearing it.

"The material used to make the Black Feather Arrow of the Divine Crossbow is a different species born on the strange island overseas, and now that it is known that it is not damaged by the light shield, it must be put to good use. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Li stretched out his hand and pointed to the open space behind the generals. The generals followed their pointing, but saw that the crossbowmen of the gods were not busy. Just as he was in doubt, he heard Bai Li's voice again:

"I just called you here, and while I waited, I have ordered the God Crossbow Battalion to begin dismantling the arrows and black feathers of the Black Feather Arrow. I, the archer of the Divine Crossbow Battalion, in addition to the invincible Divine Arrow, is also a top archery master. I didn't expect to use their carpentry skills now!"

Bai Li pointed to the other side, only to see dozens of crossbow shooters sitting around a makeshift wooden table. Looking at the movements in the hands of these people, they are all holding sharp weapons and beating at the body of the black feather arrow. Seeing that the crowd was puzzled, Bai Li explained his doubts and said:

"You don't have to wonder, my plan is to connect the many black feather arrows to make an arch and place it under the light shield, which should be able to be penetrated alive!"

When the generals heard this, they suddenly felt that this plan was indeed wonderful. However, he immediately had doubts about the skills of the "carpenter" sitting around the wooden table in front of him. Bai Li then went on to explain:

"If you want to connect these many wooden stick-like black feather arrows, you need to connect them. This light shield is evil, and it is difficult to maintain ordinary ropes, so it can only be used again for the black feather arrow itself. So I ordered them to make some changes to all the black feather arrows, and then use the 'mortise and tenon' method to connect them. ”

The generals suddenly knew that they were no strangers to the carpenter's mortise and tenon method, but they never thought that they would use it in this plan now. In any case, I was amazed by the genius of the manager's plan, and my heart rekindled faith in the redeemed people.

"Lishuai, this method is very second, please give an order, what is the arrangement for me and the other camps?"

"Please give the order!"

One of the generals asked, and the generals also said in unison!

"Generals, since it will take some time to make the arch, you can only wait. I will arrange the process of using the black feather arrow arch to save people, and then the generals will return to the camp according to my arrangement and assign sergeants to perform their duties. ”

"Etiquette, please speak!"

"First of all, there are so many people in the city that our arch needs to be as wide as possible, and there are no arches in this gate. It is necessary to arrange for soldiers to carry their hands on their shoulders, which is one item. ”

"Obey!"

"Second, just looking at the crowded state of the people, trampling on each other will not only cause damage, but may also damage the arch. It is necessary to send strong soldiers to form a group inside and outside the arch to force the crowd into several columns to ensure an orderly passage through the arch. ”

"Obey!"

"Third, after the intimidation of the mask, the people should be so frightened that they will not dare to approach the edge of the mask easily. It is necessary to send soldiers to persuade them, and if the persuasion is ineffective, they can also be forcibly taken out, which are three items. ”

"Obey!"

"Fourth, our army must be going against the enemy's will with such fanfare, and there is a fear of attack. It is necessary to assign full-time guards to the whole process of rescuing people, which are four. ”

"Obey!"

"Fifth, the people should not wait here for a long time when they come out of the city, and our army tent can temporarily dwell ten miles outside the city. It is necessary to send a team of men and horses to lead the way, and there are people guarding along the way, which is five. ”

"Obey!"

"Sixth, the people arrived at the camp outside the city and were in dire need of food and supplies. It is necessary for the husband to prepare and distribute according to the standards of the whole army, which are six items. ”

"Obey!"

"Finally, this time the Black Feather Arrow Body Arch is located in the three main gates of the east city wall, the west city wall, and the north city wall and the two main gates of the south city wall, a total of five arches, each gate and four battalions. In addition, after the people have completely withdrawn, except for the camp to protect the people, the rest of the battalions will return to the southern city of the imperial city to assemble! Okay, all the generals will return to their camps and prepare!"

"Obey!"

The generals dispersed, and Bai Li turned around and faced the Bianjing Imperial City again. Behind him, the Divine Crossbow Battalion is making the Black Feather Arrow Arch, and the battalions are also distributing their forces according to orders. Everything was going well, but Bai Li was not as confident as he seemed.

"Now, that's the only way to go. It's just that I don't know how the person who set up the formation will respond when he sees our army like this? I don't know where His Majesty Yingzong is, and how is my nephew Bai Qing?"

There were too many uncertain factors, and Bai Li knew that he was powerless now, so he had to shake his head and leave his distracting thoughts behind. After looking at the progress of the Divine Crossbow Battalion, it should take half an hour to make the five arches, so he rode his horse and ran towards the camp of the White Guards at the rear of the military formation.

The previous arrangement did not deploy Xiao Baiwei in the sequence. That's because this Bai family's own soldiers currently have only one task, and that is to protect Bai Rong!

"How's my eldest brother?"

Bai Li walked into a temporary tent and saw Bai Rong lying on the marching bed, still unconscious, so he turned his head and asked the old military doctor who had been waiting.

"Returning the salute handsome, old and incompetent, Rong Shuai is no different from before. However, I will administer needles to Rong Shuai every 2 hours, hoping that this kind of stimulation will make Rong Shuai wake up soon. ”

"Okay, you take good care of my eldest brother, and in a while I will ask Xiao Baiwei to send your people who have withdrawn from the city back to the camp. ”

Picking up the old military doctor who wanted to kneel, and gently instructed, Bai Li walked out of the small tent and climbed over the horse. To the people of the White Guards who were saluting him, he commanded:

"This battle to save people has nothing to do with you, protect Rong Shuai with all your might!"

With that, he rode his horse to the front of the army.

Soon, the generals who had returned to the camp had apparently made arrangements, and the battalions began to move to the gates that needed to be guarded. On the other side, Bai Li heard the report from the Divine Crossbow Camp at this time, and the five black feather arrow arches had been made!

Bai Li ordered the five arches to be delivered to the city gates.

For a while, all the doors came to report, everything was ready, and they were waiting for the commander's order.

Knowing that everything was ready, Bai Li waved his hand.

"Whoosh~huh!"

A rocket screamed upward, rose high in the air and exploded, scattering flames in the sky.

The military order has been reached! The battalions no longer hesitated and began to move at the same time!

Bai Li stepped aside and completely revealed the straight royal road in front of the southern city gate.

Ten elite soldiers who had already lined up for duty rushed out, carrying a pitch-black arch and running in the direction of the south city gate.

Behind them were a team of 1,000 men, all of whom had been selected from the army to be over thirty years old and who could speak well.

After the thousand-man team, there were three thousand elite soldiers selected from each battalion.

Immediately after that, there was a neat queue of five hundred people. There are fifty people in each column, and there are ten columns in total.

Soon, the pitch-black arch was held up by ten strong soldiers with their hands raised, and its height was much higher than that of ordinary people, and it was just as wide as the city gate. Holding on to the arch, the group of soldiers cautiously moved towards the light shield.

Although each arch made of the black feather arrow body was repeatedly inspected after completion, and there were no gaps, it was important to know that if there was a mistake, the person holding the door would pay with his life. Therefore, the soldiers were careful, and everyone in the rear was also frightened and nervous.

"呲呲~"

The arch slowly cut the light mask, and sure enough, as Bai Li expected, the pitch-black arch blocked the light mask outside!

"It's a success! 1,000 people, hurry into the city to persuade the people!"

Seeing that the first step of the plan was successfully achieved, the whole army was boiling, and Bai Li hurriedly gave the order.

The thousand-man team didn't have time to get excited, so they quickly stepped into the arch at the order. It went very well, and soon a team of 1,000 people entered from among the soldiers of the gate and rushed towards the city. The duty of these thousand eloquent men was naturally to persuade the people to leave the city.

Immediately after that, 3,000 sturdy soldiers also quickly entered the city. According to Bai Li's estimate, the rescue time should not be too long. Therefore, if the persuasion of the 1,000-strong team was not effective before, the 3,000-strong army could use some coercive means to force the people to leave the city quickly, and in addition, in case of an enemy attack, this team of men and horses could resist before reinforcements arrived.

After the last soldier entered, the queue of five hundred people followed neatly. I saw each column of soldiers lined up neatly behind the man holding the arch, and then stood sideways, the elbows of the adjacent people interlocked.

Eventually, within the southern gate, ten columns of soldiers formed ten passages with the wall of the doorway on one side, and the length of the doorway just extended to the length of the entire doorway. In this way, when the people came, they would be forcibly divided into ten columns when they entered the doorway, which not only reduced the risk of stepping on each other, but also increased the speed of leaving the city.

The city gate and the internal personnel were in place, and so far Bai Li's plan was going very smoothly, and because the battalion generals had arranged well in the early stage, the tension was very quick and effective.

At this time, the military formation outside the city also changed its formation, in order to prepare for the faster reception of the people out of the city, the military formation outside the city approached the city gate, and the first row of soldiers was only one zhang away from the light mask.

Now, it seems, all that remains is waiting.

Bai Li lightly clamped the horse's belly, rode the horse back to the middle of the royal road again, and looked into the city for a moment.

Behind him, the dreary air seemed to freeze. The soldiers of the whole army also held their breath and stared at the open city gate.

Although there is no doubt about the perfection of the manager's plan, and every step of the way has not been missed. But no one knows what the situation is in the city. As a result, the manager's plan could not take into account the specific situation in the city.

This is the only and probably the most lethal variable! Bai Li knows it, and so do the officers and men of the whole army!
