Chapter 266: Strategizing
"What's the matter? Speak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The second elder frowned and asked.
"The Fourth Elder has arrived." The liaison officer replied aloud outside the hall.
"Four Elders! Please. The second elder said urgently.
Although the fourth elder of the Xu family ranked fourth, his strength was comparable to that of the second and third elders, both of them were at the peak of the seventh-level emperor, and the time to reach the peak of the seventh-level emperor was nearly ten years earlier than that of the second and third elders. Among the remaining five elders, the strength of the fifth and sixth elders was at the sixth-level emperor realm, while the seventh, eighth, and ninety-third elders were only at the fifth-level emperor realm. Therefore, among the nine elders of the Xu family, the prestige was quite high. At this time, when everyone heard the arrival of the four elders, they all got up one after another and were about to go out to greet them.
"Military affairs are urgent, so don't move."
Just as everyone was about to leave, a bold voice just came. In the next moment, a sturdy figure had already entered the hall. The visitor glanced at the people in the hall and sat down at a vacant seat nearby.
"Second Elder, how is the Great Elder's injury recovering?"
The four elders waved their hands, stopping everyone from getting up and pushing because they were sitting in the wrong place, and asked.
"The injury is serious, I'm afraid there will be no more fierce fighting for half a year." The second elder replied with a slight sadness.
"Hmm. Then let the Great Elder heal his wounds well. Everyone, the situation is sinister now, and it is a matter of life and death for the family, but it is inconvenient to go into detail in the exchanged messages. Therefore, the patriarch sent me to come and discuss with you how to deal with it. It seems that you should have received the message from the family, I wonder how you discussed?" The fourth elder asked directly.
"We have just received the information from the family, and we have not yet formed any substantive battle plan. The four elders came in person this time, just to introduce the patriarch's thoughts in detail. The second elder said.
"According to the speed of the large army, the 50,000 reinforcements of the Sikong family should have half a month before they can reach Jian'an City. The patriarch's idea was that he could take advantage of this time difference to fight the Sikong family again, without achieving a decisive victory, and achieving the goal of consuming the Sikong family's vital strength. In this way, even if we retreat to Xuanwu City in the future, we will be able to relieve a lot of pressure. The four elders said.
"Hmm. That's what we mean. But I haven't thought of a good way yet. The Third Elder said.
"The enemy is now equal in number to us, but slightly superior in combat and morale is high. If you fight hard, you will definitely not be able to take advantage. A good response must be made. The four elders said.
With the arrival of the four elders, the nine elders of the Xu family were only one nine elder, plus seven patriarchs of the side branches of the Xu family. It can be said that the strongest people of the Xu family are all here. These seven patriarchs, although they are called side branches, are also directly related to the Xu family.
The Xu family has developed in the Xuantian Continent for thousands of years, and under the protection of rich material support and strong strength, the population growth rate of the Xu family is terrifying. About three hundred years ago, the Xu family was divided into eight branches, with the direct bloodline of the then patriarch as the orthodox, and the capital was Xuanwu City, and controlled the two capitals.
Each of the other seven branches controls a capital and elects a patriarch. This is also the origin of the Xu family's complete control over the ten capitals. The strength of these seven patriarchs is also quite terrifying, and they are all powerhouses of the seventh-level emperor realm. At this time, the family is in danger, and it is naturally the responsibility of the next generation, and the elite of the clan will go all out to participate.
Under the auspices of the Second Elder, such an ultra-luxurious camp launched a fierce and frank and selfless discussion. After a whole day, a highly targeted combat plan was finally released. The battle plan was certain, and one order after another was quickly conveyed. The 280,000-strong Xu Jiajun was even more energetic and moved when he heard the order. A shocking battle is on the verge of breaking out------
However, as soon as the Xu Jiajun moved, the Sikong family, which was eyeing the tiger, also responded to the occasion. A huge amount of information was instantly gathered in front of Sikong Dehou, the current supreme commander of the Sikong family.
Ten days ago, Xu Shengli and Sikong Wuxian had a big battle, and both returned injured. Therefore, Sikong Wuxian also handed over the handsome seal in his hand to the second elder of the family, Sikong Dehou, in time, and he was also a super powerhouse at the peak of the seventh-level emperor.
"Great Commander, the Xu family army sent this team of 800 people, and the three elders personally commanded the starry night to rush out, and its sinister intentions are clearly revealed, the purpose is to intercept and kill my 50,000 reinforcements."
In the meeting hall of the Sikong family's simple camp outside Jian'an City, a powerful old man said. At this time, there were seven people sitting in this council hall, all of whom were super powerhouses in the seventh-level emperor realm.
"Eight hundred people, the lowest is also a second-level emperor realm powerhouse, the Xu family is really willing to spend their blood! Commander-in-chief, why don't we come up with a plan and use 50,000 reinforcements as bait to hunt down all these raiding teams, so that they will not return. After solving the 800 elites of the Xu family, the remaining 200,000 people in Jian'an City are like cutting cabbage for us. Another strong man said.
"Yes. Just come up with a plan, let them go and have no return. Another powerhouse complimented.
"Hey, hey. Eight hundred. Have you ever counted how many people are there in each of the fourth-level emperor realm leaders of the Xu Jiajun, the deputy commanders of the third-level emperor realm, and the leaders of the second-level emperor realm? Let me tell you that among the 2,780,000 troops of the Xu family's army, there are about 140 commanders, about 280 deputy commanders, and about 1,400 leaders. ”
"This time, among the eight hundred people dispatched by the Xu family, the commanders and leaders accounted for only a few, and the number of deputy commanders was the largest. What does this mean? It means that the Xu family has sent more than forty percent of the important commanders. ”
When Sikong Dehou said this, he suddenly stopped and said no more. A strange smile was revealed, and the sly eyes swept over the faces of the six people one by one.
"Grand Commander, according to your analysis, it couldn't be better with the plan we just had." The strong man who proposed earlier said.
"This is a good plan, but have you calculated how many men we need to deploy to completely attack and kill these 800 people? According to the general law of war, if we want to completely annihilate these 800 men, we must send at least 1,200 men. Sikong Dehou said.
"Great Commander, the total annihilation of these 800 people is equivalent to winning the entire war. With such a small move, in exchange for a decisive victory, not to mention sending 1,200 people, even if 2,000 people are sent, it is worth it. The strong man said again.
"Hmph. What does 1,200 mean to us? It means that more than sixty percent of our important commanders have been dispatched. In other words, our slightly stronger comprehensive combat power was reversed in an instant, and it was weaker than the Xu family. If the Xu family takes advantage of the situation, we will definitely lose. Sikong Dehou snorted coldly and said.
"Grand Commander, are you saying that the Xu family will take advantage of the situation to attack our main force?" The strong man asked puzzled.
"Not only will our army fail, but the 1,200 people sent out to hunt will also return in vain, because these 800 people of the Xu family will not contact our army at all, nor will they attack and kill our 50,000 reinforcements. This is exactly when the Xu family is moving the tiger out of the mountain, using 800 people as bait to fish out 1,200 of my people, so as to easily reverse the current weakness and defeat our army in one fell swoop. What a cunning poisonous scheme! Sikong Dehou followed his train of thought and continued.
"Grand Commander, although your analysis is very reasonable, my 50,000 reinforcements are hanging alone, and I must not be guarded. If the cunning Xu family spares no effort to attack my 50,000 reinforcements, then our losses will be irreparable! A strong man reminded.
"Grand Commander, maybe there's another possibility. The goal of the 800 people of the Xu family is to intercept and kill my 50,000 reinforcements. The main force of the Xu family has not moved, the purpose is to contain our main force. When these 800 strange soldiers intercepted and killed my 50,000 reinforcements, the main force of the Xu family retreated urgently, making it difficult for us to take care of each other, and the most critical thing in this is the time difference. If this is the case, then the main force of the Xu family should organize a major retreat within two or three days, and let us watch our 50,000 reinforcements annihilated. Another strong man analyzed.
"In today's war, if you want to conquer the Xu family, the first thing is to eliminate its living force, and kill all the strong people below the realm of its second-level emperor, so as to ensure that it is difficult for the Xu family to organize large-scale resistance. As for those super strong, both their ability to maneuver and conceal and their own combat effectiveness are very strong, and they cannot be killed and captured by relying on large forces. ”
Therefore, it is difficult to exterminate them all in a short period of time, and it can only be solved one by one after ruling all its capitals. Therefore, these 800 people sent by the Xu family, no matter what their goal is, cannot affect our strategic goal: to destroy the enemy's large army in front of us. ”
"At this time, the Xu family sent 800 people to carry out a surprise attack, and the combat strength of its large army will be greatly reduced, which is a great opportunity for us to launch a general attack. If it's a war, there will be casualties. You say, if we can exchange 50,000 people for 300,000 people of the Xu family for the final victory of this war, what reason do we have not to fight? ”
After pondering for a long time, Sikong Dehou calmly analyzed, and his stoic gaze swept over everyone one by one.
"Therefore, my plan is: to use these 50,000 reinforcements as bait to firmly trap the 800 strange soldiers of the Xu family and make them want to stop. Of course, they can't easily pick up anything cheap. Seeing that everyone was silent, Sikong Dehou said decisively.
"The Grand Commander is wise."
Seeing that Sikong De was confident and had already had a formed combat plan, everyone said no more, and after praising him, they waited for him to say the overall combat plan.
"My 50,000 reinforcements are not without combat power, there are 2,530 emperor-level powerhouses, including 330 commanders, deputy commanders, and leaders, and it is not easy for the Xu family to eat them all. However, in order to reduce the loss of our reinforcements and not affect the combat effectiveness of my main force, I decided to transfer a hundred strong men of the third-level emperor realm to form reinforcements to sneak and rush in front of the Xu army. With this 100-person reinforcement, I believe that the Xu family army will jump out of its mouthful of dog teeth. Sikong Dehou continued.
"Five Elders!"
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Sikong Dehou changed the topic and shouted loudly.
"The subordinates are here." The strong man, known as the Five Elders, immediately got up and replied.
