"The current situation is like this, we now have nearly 600,000 people in Tianhuo City, not including the 100,000 new army of Tang Buregret, temporarily used as a reserve army, the enemy army has nearly a million, but there should be some losses in Tianshui City, the latest information we have received is that Tianya County has a large number of conscripts in the whole county. The number of enemy troops we face in the end will increase,......"

"We have good terrain and strong cities, so we should have no problem defending. "Now standing on the stage and pointing to the map, it is Commander Li Pei who is talking eloquently.

"I agree with Commander Li's opinion, we have fought many defensive battles, and many times the situation is more dangerous than this, and we have succeeded in the end......" Commander Wang Junran also supported relying on the city to defend. After all, Mu Tianxiang's army was still experienced in defense.

......

The meeting lasted for most of the day, and the military commanders who spoke put forward various suggestions and ideas for defense.

Mu Tianxiang and Li Muran listened carefully and did not speak, but after communicating privately, Li Muran also tended to be defensive. After all, it's so sure.

"May I speak?" Mu Tianxiang, who was holding a small meeting in private, heard someone talking, and looked up to see that it was Wang Yongqing, the brigade commander who had just been promoted, and this time as a brigade commander, he was also qualified to attend the meeting as an observer.

"Okay, let's talk about it, let's refer to it!" Mu Tianxiang smiled and encouraged.

"I think we should be proactive, not passively defensive......"

"What nonsense, you little brigade commander can listen carefully, defense is a strategy that everyone has formulated in advance......" Ma Tam saw that his love would refute the strategy that had been formulated, and he was afraid of arousing the disgust of Mu Tianxiang and others, so he hurriedly stopped it.

"You sit down and let him say," Mu Tianxiang stopped the horse. Seeing that someone put forward different opinions, Mu Tianxiang thought it was very interesting, but if there was no real material, just a simple sensationalism, then it would be like this in the future, and it would be useless.

"Everyone knows that I was born as an outcast. It can be said that the displaced people are precarious, and it is very difficult to live in Japan. Wang Yongqing said nervously: "By defending the city, although we can protect the people in the city, but there are still many people outside the city, what should they do? The enemy army cannot capture the city, and the anger will definitely be vented on the people!"

"Go on......" Mu Tianxiang's face had already sunk.

"The most important thing is that we have an army of 600,000, although the enemy army has a million people, it may be more, but they have all gone through repeated bloody battles, they are already exhausted, even if they are supplemented, but they are also recruits who have not been systematically trained and have not been on the battlefield, how hard our training is, I think everyone knows. I don't think that the level of training of the enemy troops can be compared with ours. So I don't think we have to defend ......," Wang Yongqing slowly stopped nervous and said excitedly.

"Bang Bang ......" Mu Tianxiang stood up and began to applaud. said: "Today's meeting is here first, everyone go back and think about it, and tomorrow there will be a meeting of more than one group!"

"Mr. Mu, what do you think?" everyone left in contemplation, and Li Muran asked.

"In his position, there are a lot of things that are not clear, and there are some deficiencies in strategic considerations, but there are some aspects that have some truth. Mu Tianxiang thought for a while and said.

"This time, we did a lot of preparation, all for the purpose of defending. And as far as the current situation is concerned, we are not in a hurry, it is the other party who is in a hurry, and the defense is the most beneficial for us. Li Muran said.

"The most important thing is that our monks are still a little bit close, and they still suffer a lot in the field. Li Muran added.

"Let me think about it again, I haven't decided to change the battle plan! You can go back first!" Mu Tianxiang said after pondering for a while.

Li Muran saw that Mu Tianxiang didn't want to say anything, so he had no choice but to leave.

"Go and invite General Zhou Tiankai, General Wu Yicheng, General Zheng Tianxiao, and General Wang Hualong. Li Muran thought about it for a long time and instructed his own soldiers.

"Mr. Mu, what do you want to recruit?" didn't work much, several generals came, these people are now the chief officers of the security station, and their lives are quite nourishing.

"Generals, what do you think of the afternoon meeting?" asked Mu Tianxiang with a smile.

"What the coaches said is very reasonable, and the arrangement is also very reasonable......," Zhou Tiankai, who was the leader of several people, pondered for a while and said.

"What do you think of Brigadier Wang Yongqing's words?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"This is not good, Brigadier Wang Yongqing's heart should be good, but the consideration of the problem may still be incomplete, and his position and experience are still lacking......" Zheng Tianxiao didn't know what Mu Tianxiang meant, so he had to say vaguely.

"You and I are both war-seasoned people, especially several generals, who have fought wars for decades or even hundreds of years, I wonder if a few generals have considered it, why do we fight?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"When Jean is ......" The impulsive Wang Hualong opened his mouth and said, but halfway through speaking, he was stuck, this question looks very simple, but it is not so simple.

"Everyone has their own reasons, for themselves, for their relatives, for the country, for the sect...... But most people don't think about the people under our rule. They are very lowly, we have never looked at them, we have cared about them......" Mu Tianxiang said excitedly.

"Where did we come from? I think most of the people come from these people that we look down on. But when we get to a certain position, we will selectively forget this. Disdain to be in the company of it. But these people provide most of what we need, and since they have paid, should they reciprocate?"

"Countless dynasties have risen and fallen, sects have risen and fallen, and we have followed different forces to fight and fight everywhere. Slowly, the blood will be cold, and I will be confused about doing things, and I only need myself in my heart," Mu Tianxiang sighed.

......

Mu Tianxiang said a lot. Several generals also listened attentively.

"Mr. Mu said so much, do you have any ideas?" asked Zhou Tiankai.

"I want to do something for these people. ”

"Well, I don't know what to do?" Mu Tianxiang summoned a few people and said so much, several people already had a premonition, but they didn't know Mu Tianxiang's specific thoughts.

"I promised you that I wouldn't let you get involved in the war again, and this time I only wanted you to be a reserve, and I didn't want you to participate directly in the battle. Today I broke my promise," Mu Tianxiang bowed deeply.

"Mr. Shepherd, why bother, there are no eggs under the nest, we still understand these truths. Several generals hurriedly got up and saluted in return and said.

"This matter is very dangerous, several generals can refuse!" Mu Tianxiang said.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"I want several generals to lead 80,000 troops, go out of the city separately, disperse around, harass and block the enemy's plundering of the common people, and evacuate and protect the people to a certain extent. Mu Tianxiang said what he thought.

"Isn't Liao Huayu doing these things now?" Wu Yicheng asked.

"General Liao's approach is to block head-on, which is not quite the same, his purpose is only to slow down the enemy's march, and finally to return to the city to defend. General Liao has a strong view of the overall situation and has a good grasp of the overall situation of the battle. But when it comes to flexible operations, it is his shortcoming, which is slightly insufficient. Mu Tianxiang said.

After all, they have been bandits before, and they know how to prevent and avoid harassment by officials and soldiers, and their independent operations and flexible use of tactics are incomparable to others, and the most important thing is to know how to hide and protect themselves and give the enemy the greatest damage. Mu Tianxiang said.

"There are a few generals outside, I think the enemy army wants to send a few thousand more people to loot the people casually, it is impossible, even one or two thousand people I think it is not easy, no matter how many people are sent, their forces to besiege Tianhuo City will be insufficient, and they will have to face the counterattack of Tianhuo City, so you can also affect the entire battle situation. Mu Tianxiang said.

"Mr. Pastor. Give the order!!!!

"These generals are in danger. ”

"Mr. Pastor. We are all from Pyongan County and have been living in this world. It turns out that when we came out of the army, we were not used to seeing a lot of things, and we always wanted to do something for these people, even if we were bandits, we never harassed the people. The pastor always has this love, how can we spare our lives, it's just a big deal!"

"Here, on behalf of the people of Ping'an County, Mu Tianxiang thanked a few ......" Mu Tianxiang bowed and saluted.

......

I also discussed the details and the issues of support and cooperation. Mu Tianxiang also expounded his understanding of guerrilla warfare to several people without reservation. After all, it was brought up by a great man, and there is nothing to say. Looking at the surprised looks of a few people, Mu Tianxiang also smiled secretly in his heart.

Unconsciously, it was already midnight, and Mu Tianxiang asked a few people to leave to prepare. Departure tomorrow.

"Some people say that we will only defend, which is not right, this time we will play a fierce counterattack on the basis of defense, and let the enemy know that we ......" The next day, at the meeting of military commanders above the regimental level, Mu Tianxiang looked at the hundreds of people below and talked eloquently.

"Defending doesn't necessarily mean defending to the death, and often a single defense is likely to end up being a dead defense. As our most important military commanders at the grassroots level, you must flexibly use tactical ...... according to the situation."

"We have 600,000 people, and the enemy army is 1 million, are you afraid?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"Don't be afraid, it's not enough to kill two per person!" the people below laughed.

"Well, it's good to have the guts. The enemy army is a million people, and it is impossible to completely surround us, they must have a focus, so we have to constantly attack from their weak points, so that they cannot attack with peace of mind,......"

"Although the attack will increase our casualties, we may also encounter traps and suffer losses. But these are not the reasons for us to refuse to attack, if we want to be a victorious army, we must shed this blood, we must pay these tuition fees......"

The meeting was very successful, Mu Tianxiang was very pleased, although the defense is very critical, but most of the classic battles in the past are active. There are also classic battles that rely on stubborn defense, but there are few. The most important thing is that the defense is too much of a test of the nerves and willpower of the soldiers. There are a lot of recruits this time, who have not experienced this, and Mu Tianxiang has no confidence in the final result.

"Tianshui City is lost!" Li Muran said.

"Well, what about Shangguan invincible them?" asked Mu Tianxiang. The loss of Tianshui City is certain, and Mu Tianxiang cares about his own people.

"They have withdrawn, and now they have joined Liao Huayu, but they don't want to withdraw, they want to fight with Liao Huayu!" Li Muran said.

", let them come back!" Mu Tianxiang was afraid that these people would make any mistakes, after all, it was a field battle now, and any accident could be released.

If something happens to these people, Sister Lotus, Shangguan Jin, and Ouyang Xiaozhi will be difficult to explain.

"Mr. Mu, after all, they are all monks, Shangguan Invincible has been stuck there for decades, Hu Bing and Ouyang Xiaotian have advanced by leaps and bounds, and now they are also a little stagnant. This time, it is rare to have a master of the Heavenly Pole to accompany them in the battle, and this kind of life-and-death battle is very helpful to cultivation......"

"Hey," Mu Tianxiang understood, the monk still attaches great importance to cultivation, and indeed such an opportunity is rare.

"You can send some more elites to make up for their losses, so that they are safer too. In desperation, Mu Tianxiang had to provide conditions as much as possible to ensure their safety.

Mu Tianxiang didn't ask the original county lord how the gang was, whether they died or surrendered, they were all eliminated in this battle, and they didn't have any impact on the overall situation.

Now it's up to Skyfire City!
