Chapter 270: Strategizing
?
"Now the second line of defense, Behringburg, has been converted to the first line of defense. After many years of 'engagement' battles, Qiyang will reach the front line of Bailinbao at most, but we must not relax, we have missed the opportunity in this battle, and now we must be cautious. I would like to hear what you mean. After all, I am a warlock who builds cars behind closed doors, skimming military books, but it is the first time I have led my troops to fight, and I must have thought it out. ”
A military general said: "Lord Ling is too modest, the marshal has 'handed over' this important Cloud Dragon City to the command of the adult, and he is convinced of the adult's talent." I, Chen Zhaohui and the 10,000 troops under my command, are ready to be sent by Lord Ling at any time!"
The other two generals also took a stand, and said in unison: "Let Lord Ling send it!"
Tianlan nodded secretly, not to mention how well Ling Jiutian commanded, just Chong's decent words and the example of the generals were enough to show that Ling Jiutian was still very competent!
Ling Jiutian continued: "Thank you brothers for your kindness. To get back to the point, from the overall situation, the current situation is not optimistic, the momentum of the Qiyang army is high, the advance and retreat are moderate, if there is no accident, our army's disadvantage will continue for a while. But as long as we can hold the existing territory, and when the morale of the Qiyang army is slightly weaker, we will naturally be able to counterattack back. ”
"The most important thing now is to defend the city, and the marshal has arrived at our important fortress - Bailinburg. Bailinbao is an important town, with strong troops, sufficient firepower, and two heavy fire aura cannons to suppress the formation, and it is undoubtedly more difficult for the Qiyang army to attack head-on. ”
The Heavy Fire Spiritual Qi Cannon is a newly developed large-scale super-heavy magic weapon, which is specially used in military warfare. Each Heavy Fire Spiritual Qi Cannon costs a huge amount of money, requiring thousands of spirit stones to drive, and its power is naturally not to be underestimated. It is conservatively estimated that every time the Heavy Fire Spiritual Qi Cannon is activated, the lethality caused by it is no less than that of a hundred eight-star powerhouses using large-scale spells together! In history, there was only one activation of the Heavy Fire Spiritual Qi Cannon, and that time caused the 100,000 troops of Qiyang to be wiped out in an instant, and there was almost no way to live! It was also the result of the irreconcilable contradiction between the two countries.
Tianlan didn't say a word, and thought silently: It turns out that my brother is in Bailinburg...... Bailinbao is known as an impregnable wall, and although the Qiyang Army is gaining momentum, it is indeed difficult and dangerous to capture Bailinbao. But it's hard to say, after all, the battlefield is ever-changing, and since Qiyang has suffered a big loss, he must be wary of Bailin Castle and formulate corresponding countermeasures, but he has to guard against it.
Ling Jiutian took out the map, spread it out on the table, pointed to one of the slightly larger red dots, and said, "This is Bailinbao, the surrounding terrain is flat, and Bailinbao is the center to support this line of defense. For Qiyang, Bailinbao is a thorn in the side, and it must be removed. If I were Xuanyuanzheng, I would never attack Bailinbao head-on, but would have taken all the fortresses around Bailinburg in a roundabout way, blocking Bailinbao's backup and killing the main force of our army. ”
Several generals thought so, and one said, "What Lord Ling said is good. Bailinbao has more than enough defense, insufficient attack, Qiyang siege is definitely hopeless, if there are repeated provocations, the marshal will definitely not be fooled. Therefore, Qiyang can only adopt a more complicated strategy, that is, to isolate Bailinbao! There are only two results in this way: First, our army cannot defend to the death, and finally trapped in the city; second, the marshal leads the army to kill and abandons the heavy fire aura cannon, which is right in the arms of Qiyang. ”
Ling Jiutian nodded, crossed an arc from Bailin Fort to the east, and said, "The Cloud Dragon City where we are located is considered one of the third lines of defense, and it is also extremely important. However, you don't have to worry too much about the safety here, the terrain of Yunlong City is dangerous, the mountains are steep, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult for the enemy army to go deeper, so it can be said that the difficulty of taking Yunlong City is still more difficult than Bailinbao!"
A military general said with a smile: "Lord Ling, you have forgotten that there is also a great danger between Bailinbao and Yunlong City-the Dragon 'Gate' Pass! There are towering cliffs on both sides, the trail is long and narrow, and there is no way around far and near, it can be said that it is a place where one man is the pass, and ten thousand people cannot be opened! Our side has such a natural danger, so naturally we are not worried about the safety of Yunlong City." ”
Ling Jiutian's serious face also showed a hint of a smile, and said: "Yes, the cliffs on both sides of the Long' Gate' Pass are sandwiched, shaped like a 'Gate' Que, and the pass is dangerous, and it is really the luck of our army to get it." It's a pity that this place is too narrow to allow a large army to be stationed, so only a small outpost can be built. This place has always been guarded by 'elite' soldiers, and it is enough to come. ”
Tianlan listened to what they said, and also became a little interested, and looked along the map, and sure enough, he saw a narrow valley not far west of Bailinburg. This place is high in the west and low in the east, and it is a good place for our army to be stationed, which is the so-called natural danger! Of course, this piece of terrain is very steep, and the Long'men' Pass is only one of them, but because its location is in the middle and it is the only way to pass, it has a very special status!
Ling Jiutian said: "Although we are not on the front line, we are not a stable rear. We also have an important task, which is to support the marshals and other generals on the front line! How to deploy troops according to the situation is something we must consider! What do you think about this?"
A military general said: "Lord Ling, my subordinates think that our army should come to the aid of Bailinbao near the city, consolidate the second line of defense, and never let Qiyang surround Bailinbao in a roundabout way. ”
Another military general made a suggestion: "The last general thinks that Lord Ling should continue to sit in Yunlong City, and the three of us should lead 10,000 soldiers to help the Puwo Pass, Banqiao Pass, and Xinying Pass on the front line!
When he said this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Ling Jiutian said: "This is very good, I have sent an order, I hope that the rear can send another army to aid the front line, as long as we can hold it for a month, and wait until the rear army comes to help, it will be the day of our counterattack!"
Speaking of which, the operational deployment has been basically finalized, and the next thing that needs to be discussed is the specific matters. Tianlan saw that they were well arranged, so he didn't need to say much, and he was new to the city, and he was not familiar with the battle situation and terrain, so it was not easy to 'mess around' and 'interject'.
When the basic arrangements were in place, Ling Jiutian asked Tianlan: "Tianlan, do you think it's okay?"
Tianlan said: "Senior Ling is properly scheduled, reasonable, and prepared, and deserves to be a decisive general for a thousand miles, Tianlan admires." ”
Ling Jiutian knew that he was politely complimenting, but he was still happy in his heart, and said, "Since everyone has no opinion, this matter is decided." Start preparing now, and start in three days!"
"Yes!" the three generals replied in unison.
Tianlan suddenly remembered something, and said, "Senior Ling, may I ask if General Chai Hu has come to the front line?"
He still remembered that this Chai Hu was specifically mentioned in the information of the Seven Nights, in his impression, Chai Hu should also be a well-known general, and he was a military general under the name of Tian Lingsha, and now he is likely to have been promoted to the position of marshal's deputy general, and he should come to the front line!
Ling Jiutian didn't expect him to suddenly ask about such a person, thought for a while, and said, "General Chai Hu...... Yes, he did lead the army to the front, and if I remember correctly, he should have gone with the marshal to Belinburg. ”
Another military general confirmed: "That's right, Lord Chai is with the marshal and guards Bailinbao together. With Lord Chai assisting the marshal, it must be foolproof!"
"That's it......" Tianlan frowned secretly, this place in Bailinburg is too sensitive, since this person is mentioned in the Seven Nights information, most of them will not be untargeted. I don't know if it was out of trust in Qiye's powerful intelligence ability, or because of Yewu's special feelings, Tianlan felt that the information he saw must have been obtained through countless sacrifices, and it should not be easily let go: Chai Hu is very likely to be a traitor!
Ling Jiutian noticed that his expression was different, and said, "What's the matter, why did you suddenly ask General Chai?"
Tianlan looked at Ling Jiutian, thinking about whether or not to say anything to him, whether they would believe it, but then he thought about it, this matter could not be done by him alone, how could he fight against Chai Hu, who had countless 'elite' soldiers?
"Senior Ling, forgive Tianlan for being outspoken. I learned from somewhere that General Chai Hu has been in close contact with the Qiyang military recently, and I need to pay more attention to his behavior...... "He carefully used his words, and did not charge Chai Hu as soon as he came up, after all, he did not have any evidence in his hands, and it was impossible to find Qiye to ask for evidence."
Ling Jiutian's eyes flashed, and he said solemnly: "You mean, it is possible that General Chai may collude with the enemy country and intend to rebel?"
Another military general immediately shouted: "Impossible! General Chai is righteous and loyal, how can he commit treason! Huangkou Xiaoer, if you don't have real evidence, don't slander General Chai!"
Tianlan glanced at him, and then looked at the faces of the other two generals, and found that this Chai Hu was really 'quite popular'. Before he could say anything, these people were so indignant...... However, Tianlan will not change his original intention because of their performance, unless he can confirm Chai Hu himself with his own eyes!
Ling Jiutian paced in place for a long time before frowning and said, "General Chai Hu, I have had a relationship with him, and his behavior is indeed impeccable. Tianlan, since you suspect him, do you have any evidence?"
Tianlan said indifferently: "Senior Ling said with a smile, if Tianlan has empirical evidence in his hands, it will not be a suspicion." ”
In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether a person has been wronged or not, what matters is that this person may do something that threatens Tianchen and is an unstable factor! That's enough!
A military general who was very confident in Chai Hu said: "Since there is no evidence, it means that you are not telling your words." Lord Ling, General Chai Hu holds a lot of power, not only Bailinbao, but nearly one-third of the soldiers on the front line are subordinate to General Chai. As the saying goes, if you are gullible and suspicious of General Chai, it will definitely have a major impact on the front-line war, so think twice!"
Tianlan secretly wrote down, it seems that this Chai Hu is not simple. With such a large amount of real power in his hands, if he rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the entire front line would fall short......
