On a hill a hundred miles from the town of Saga, the bright moon hung in the dark night sky, surrounded by countless bright stars, and the visibility on the ground was so good that you didn't feel any cold.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, isn't it the night of murder?"

Zhen Qian's tone was filled with a hint of melancholy, I don't know if he had seen too much martial arts before, and subconsciously looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and the crooked crescent moon seemed to be laughing at himself, which was very strange.

"Island owner, it's been too late, no trace of the Silla army has been found, will the Silla army really retreat back to Dangjin Port?"

"Hmm!"

Zhen Qian's gaze looked to the east, where it was out of reach, it was pitch black, as if it was the end of the world.

"What would you do if it were you, knowing that the city you were defending was lost, and that you didn't have enough troops to retake it?"

Behind Zhen Qian, there were two tower-like giants, it was his Kunlun Nu bodyguards Wei Tui and Pilates, the two of them were a little absent-minded, and they didn't know if they didn't have confidence in Zhen Qian's plan, or they were worried that after the Silla Army really appeared, they would be able to stop the Silla Army that had experienced a hundred battles with the help of the 6,000 Concordant Army and the 2,000 regular army of the Wufeng Islands.

This plan is a bit risky!

Witui and Pilates glanced at each other, and they didn't agree that Zhen Qian should appear here, but what Zhen Qian decided, the two of them also knew that they couldn't change.

Witui said lightly: "If you are a real general, you should take back the lost city, not run away!" ”

"Do you think so?" Zhen Qian asked about Pilates again.

"I know that Wittui's answer is wrong, but I still stick to Wittui's idea, maybe that Silla general named Li Chen is thinking about how to preserve his strength, but the consequences of doing so will lose the morale of the army!"

This is the difference in understanding, the same thing meets different people, the result is also different, which can also be understood as the difference in perspective and position.

Zhen Qian said silently: "As a general on the battlefield, there are many issues that need to be considered, and other Silla generals are not clear, but after Li Chen heard that Songpu City was lost, his first reaction was that he would not believe it, and he would definitely send someone to check, and when it was confirmed, his second reaction should be how to protect himself, you may not believe it, a general with soldiers and a general without soldiers, the treatment of escaping back is different......." ”

Zhen Qian wanted to explain the problem a little deeper, but when he saw the disdain on the faces of Wittui and Pilates, he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so he dispelled the idea of explaining and said: "If Li Chen chooses to flee back to Tangjin Port, there are two roads in front of him, one is to bypass Songpu City and continue to the north, turning west from the Zhuqian country. This road is not only several times longer, but also very vulnerable to attacks by other forces along the way, and Li Chen does not have the courage to break through the cauldron at all under his current situation. Then Li Chen will choose the second way, directly through Saga Town to Karatsu Port, where we have to set up an ambush, and it is also a last resort. ”

"But the combat strength of our current army can't use artillery, thunderbolts and other weapons, and the six thousand conscripts have just been formed, isn't it a bit risky!" Witui was puzzled.

Witui finally expressed his doubts, and Pilates on the side also said: "If we use artillery and gunpowder, we don't need to send so many troops at all, and the casualties will be reduced a lot?" ”

Zhen Qian didn't know this, and sighed: "Our current strength is still too weak, once such a big weapon is displayed, what does the Silla Army, and even the Japanese National Congress, think, will they allow a strong and developing force to exist?" Don't forget, war is only a continuation of politics, and even the various forces in the future of the Saikaido do do not want to see an existence that can threaten their forces, and only the weak Hizen country can be accepted by all forces! ”

Zhen Qian still didn't say a word, that is, the existence of Shaoji Dongshang, although it is still uncertain whether Fujiwara Nakamaro's position will be shaken after this war, but Shaoji Dongshang is already the biggest winner in Xikaido.

Judging from the news just got, the Shao Er Dongshang Coalition Army has already controlled the six Linglu countries, and if Zhen Qian doesn't want to have any conflict with the Shao Er Dongshang Coalition Army now, showing weakness is also a means.

In addition to blood, war also has an overall plan!

Zhen Qian once again sorted out this operational deployment, because he could not use artillery and other weapons, and he could not show extremely strong combat effectiveness, so he could only use the tactics of crowds.

The Hizen country's co-enlisted army has just been formed, but now the most important thing in Hizen is people, as long as there is enough food and grass, it is not difficult to form tens of thousands of co-conscripts in a short period of time.

“…… That's the battle plan, although Li Chen only has 3,000 Silla troops in his hands, the overall combat effectiveness is not much worse than ours, so the purpose of this operation is not to completely annihilate Li Chen and the Silla army, but to defeat this Silla army. ”

Zhen Qian was following the battle plan when he saw a soldier running up the small mound and giving a military salute to Zhen Qian: "Island master, the traces of the Silla army have been found twenty miles away, and according to the speed of the Silla army, the striker will arrive here in half an hour!" ”

"Got it, probe again!" Zhen Qian waved his hand to let the soldier leave, and said to Wittui and Pilates beside him, "Let's get moving!" ”

More than 20 miles away from Zhen Qian's place, an army wearing the uniform of the Silla Army was in a hurry, this was the 3,000 Silla Army led by Li Chen, more than half an hour later than Zhen Qian's plan was expected.

Zhen Qian is not a god, and there is no god in this world, Zhen Qian can calculate that Li Chen will escape back to Tangjin Port, not because of how smart he is, but because Jin Yongsan told Zhen Qian about Li Chen's past and character, Zhen Qian is seventy percent sure that Li Chen will definitely save his strength after knowing that Songpu City is lost, and choose to return to Tangjin Port.

The reason why Li Chen was more than an hour later than Zhen Qian's calculation was that after Li Chen heard that Songpu City was lost, he immediately sent people to find Jin Yongsan, the culprit of this strategy.

At this time, Li Chen reacted, how did Jin Yongsan know that Fujiwara Shuxiong would rush to Songpu City, as the chief general of Songpu City, Li Chen didn't know the news, and Jin Yongsan was intrigued when he got the news.

But when Li Chen sent people to look for Jin Yongsan near the battlefield, he found that there was no figure of Jin Yongsan around the battlefield at all, as if Jin Yongsan had never appeared. Coupled with the sudden loss of Songpu City, Li Chen was eighty percent sure that he had fallen into the trap of Jin Yongsan.

But why did Jin Yongsan frame himself, could it be that Jin Yongsan had already taken refuge in the Wa Kingdom?
