Baiqing County, border pass, Baiqing fortress.

Wei Zhongquan and Geng Gui stood on the walls of the fortress, overlooking the Sheng army.

I have to say that this is the most disciplined and best-equipped army that the Cangguo army has encountered so far, the weapons of the soldiers are very integral, the queue is neat, the spirit is shaking, and occasionally there is a whole phalanx of roars, which is terrifying to listen to.

A mile away from the fortress, there were groups of scouts roaming, and there was a great tendency to be inappropriate.

"General Geng, what do you think of such an enemy army?" Wei Zhongquan pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist and asked.

Geng Gui frowned and said, "The Sheng army claims to be one million, but in fact it is more than 300,000, and although the strength is three times that of our army, it is not invincible. ”

"Defeat ......" Wei Zhongquan sighed and said with a wry smile: "General Geng said it lightly, the 300,000 army is no longer something we can resist, even though the country is recruiting new generals, but the new soldiers have just joined the army, and they can't form combat effectiveness at all." ”

"Does General Wei have any other concerns?"

"Not bad." Wei Zhongquan sighed and said: "The major vassal states are fighting endlessly, and some countries that are reckless in their military forces have almost reached the point where all the people are soldiers, and even women can form an army, although Sheng Guo is not so much, it can be regarded as a million armor, so this general estimates that the main forces of Sheng Guo are still stationed on the border adjacent to Dong Guo, and they can recruit more reserve troops at any time, I am afraid that after the war here is deadlocked, Sheng Guo will send more troops to come." ”

"General Wei is worried, and a certain agrees." Geng Gui nodded.

Wei Zhongquan said: "There are now three million people in my Cangguo, if we exhaust our manpower and material resources, we can barely equip an army of 300,000 people, even if we can protect ourselves, but I want to welcome back...... Alas...... Fortunately, Concubine Nuo gave birth to a prince, otherwise the people in the country would be disheartened, and this battle would really be impossible to fight. ”

"Concubine Nuo." Geng Gui muttered, and when he thought of this, he was slightly relieved.

He was originally the general of Shen State, but after Shen Guo surrendered, he was pardoned by Yang Mu, and he also became the commander of the first army, which was already extremely lucky.

But behind this luck is an extreme sense of insecurity and responsibility.

He was worried about being guarded and ostracized by the monarchs and ministers of Cangguo, and worried that the old lord Shen Zifu and his family would be persecuted.

Now, Concubine Nuo Niangniang gave birth to a prince, and Emperor Shen and others have not been liquidated, if the eldest son can inherit the throne in the future, Cangguo can be regarded as having half of the Shen blood.

This allowed him to eliminate his previous worries and truly regard himself as a native of Cangguo.

The only thing I want to do now is to serve His Majesty the Emperor.

"General Geng, I see that you didn't pay much attention to this 300,000 army when facing it." Wei Zhongquan was a little puzzled, hesitated for a while and still asked, the enemy is at present, and the idea of underestimating the enemy cannot be allowed to breed.

Geng Gui didn't answer much, but asked rhetorically: "General Wei thinks that how many enemy troops can I deal with with the four major legions of Cangguo?" ”

Wei Zhongquan hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Two hundred thousand, after all, we are the one defending the city, the morale is boiling, and with the assistance of crossbows and catapults and other sharp weapons, it is still possible to resist the 200,000 enemy army." ”

"Isn't that okay?" Geng Gui spread his hands and said, "The remaining 100,000 enemy troops, just hand them over to my Qilin Army, and after we have a great victory, we will come to your aid." ”

Handed over to the Kirin Army?

Wei Zhongquan was speechless, Rao was also shocked that he had seen too many people who were full of big words.

If he hadn't dealt with him before, he would have thought that Geng Gui was deliberately showing off.

How many people are there in total? The total number of cavalry in the main body is only 10,000, and with the attached soldiers, it is less than 20,000.

If you say that you are facing 350,000 enemy troops alone, it may be reasonable, but it sounds marginal to say that you will annihilate 100,000 troops and then return to the four major armies.

Wei Zhongquan thought for a while, this is a war of survival after all, and Geng Gui can't be allowed to be so light on the enemy, so he persuaded: "Shengguo is a vassal state with a profound heritage after all, in the world of war, it has its own reason to be able to stand undefeated for hundreds of years, and General Geng must not underestimate it." ”

Geng Gui understood what Wei Zhongquan meant, nodded and smiled.

However, this does not mean that his original idea was overturned, because the power of the Qilin Army was not what the major generals saw at the beginning, after nearly half a year of training, the soldiers drawn from the elite of these armies became more brave after becoming cavalry.

The elite soldiers became cavalry, which can be said to be like a tiger's wings.

Coupled with the method of cavalry battle formation given by Yang Mu, that is, the algorithm of ten times ten, it can completely rely on the mobility of the light cavalry to deal a blow to the Sheng army that saw the cavalry for the first time.

In a sense, the annihilation of 100,000 troops is still a small amount, and if they fight head-on, after the enemy's formation is chaotic, it will not be a problem for 10,000 Qilin troops to defeat 300,000 troops.

"General Wei, the war is imminent, will we take the initiative or passively defend?" Geng Gui suddenly asked.

"Of course, it relies on the defense of the fortress, is it possible to take the initiative to attack?"

Wei Zhongquan looked at Geng Gui strangely, and suddenly had a little doubt, was the commander of the Qilin Army in front of him the former General of the Shen Kingdom?

Because it is obvious that the Shengguo army has always taken the initiative by relying on the numerical superiority, and the four major legions of the Cangguo can only rely on the defense of fortresses and cities, and taking the initiative to attack is simply to die.

Geng Gui shook his head and said, "General Wei misunderstood the meaning of so-and-so, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and so-and-so naturally knows." However, since ancient times, the art of war has been false and real, and when His Majesty faced a strong enemy, didn't he also use the method of inviting the king into the urn? ”

"You mean, taking advantage of the enemy's arrogance......"

"Sort of." Geng Gui nodded and said: "General Wei may not know much about my Qilin Army, in fact, the biggest advantage of cavalry is to fight in the open area, if the battle is fought well, it is not a problem to be ten, but if it is a siege, it is far inferior to the infantry." Therefore, if our army blindly defends the city, when the fierce battle is in full swing, it will be very difficult for the Qilin Army to make another surprise attack. ”

"So, General Geng wants to make a surprise attack?" Wei Zhongquan suddenly realized, and after listening to the introduction of the Qilin Army, he also had a rough understanding of the cavalry.

"Yes, in the past six months, my Qilin Army has organized several night raid drills, and His Majesty once said when he talked with a certain detail, if the Qilin Army does not move, it will be enough, and once it appears in front of the world, it will be unprepared, so as to achieve the first great victory."

"How is General Geng going to make a surprise attack? A certain Blue Dragon Legion may be able to help. After a deep groan, Wei Zhongquan asked. 、

His intuition told him that the so-called cooperation will not be simple, and it will be a big move!
