Night falls.

Wu Rulong was pacing back and forth in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the chief manager Xu Fu walked in from outside, and he hurriedly asked, "How is it? What is the movement of the demon army?"

Xu Fu held a map in his hand, came to the front of the general and unfolded it, pointed to the two places marked with red lines on it, and said: "The situation is the same as expected, they have already detected the movement of our army, and have arranged heavy troops in these two passes, with about 1,500 people each. ”

Wu Rulong narrowed his eyes, looked at the map and said: "In this way, Su Yueyang asked us to contain these three thousand people and buy time for him to break through, but they have no intention of running away, and want to fight with us hard-to-head?"

"Judging from the information sent back by Tanma, it is like this. ”

"Then what now? Originally, I wanted Wang Qiang to be cannon fodder when they attacked, but I didn't expect that the demon army would be divided into two ways, and 1,500 people could eat Wang Qiang's 800 men? Don't forget, there are still cultivators of the Yiyuan Sect in his team, damn it, sooner or later this son will destroy this Yiyuan Sect!"

Xu Fu smiled and said lightly: "Has His Royal Highness the Prince forgotten? You are now the commander of the Eastern Route Army, Wang Qiang, as a general, must obey even if he has any doubts about your military orders, and if he dares to disobey the military orders, he can be killed on the spot, which is why the old slave did not hesitate to use two thousand elites in exchange to pull Wang Qiang and others under your command." ”

Wu Rulong's eyes lit up, and he said with a wicked smile: "It's still Mr. Xu's old plan, then the prince of the world will let Wang Qiang take five hundred people, no, one hundred people will attack the East Road, and first borrow the hands of the demon army to get out of this evil breath!"

Xu Fu looked at Wu Rulong's hideous face, shook his head secretly, and thought, you might as well let Wang Qiang fight the fifteen hundred demon army alone, then he will die faster, Wu Wang is both wise and brave, and he is the best at strategizing, how can he pass the throne to such an idiot son, but this is okay, when he ascends the throne, the thing he wants is not at his fingertips, what is the difference between the entire Wu Wang territory and the Xu family?

"Your Royal Highness, this is absolutely impossible. Xu Fu hurriedly persuaded: "Although Wang Qiang is under your command, he is the lord of a city in King Liang's territory after all, and there are many eyes and ears in the army, if it reaches Su Yueyang's ears, I am afraid it will cause unexpected trouble." ”

"Then what do you say?" Wu Rulong frowned.

Xu Fu said: "There are 1,500 people on both roads of the demon army, and if we want to block the mouths of the eyes and ears of the army, we must be fair." ”

"What do you mean?"

Xu Fu looked at the map on the table and said: "Judging from the information provided by Tanma, the strength of the demon army on the two roads is almost the same, we can send two teams of men and horses to attack at the same time, the number is exactly the same, one is led by Wang Qiang, and the other is led by Zhao Gao, the leader of His Royal Highness's guards, Zhao Leader has been fighting with the Hou Wang for many years, and he has a lot of experience in leading troops, as long as he ......"

......

......

The night sky was like a wash, warm winds were blowing, and the new grass sprouts on the hills rustled.

“...... Wu Rulong's military order is to send two teams to attack the demon army at noon tomorrow, the city lord will lead eight hundred to attack the left side, and his subordinate Zhao Gao will also lead the same number of men and horses to attack the right side, you see, is there anything wrong with this?" Zhou Qi sat in a tent on the hill and whispered.

There were no lights in the tent, and he could barely see a blurry face and eyes as bright as a night star.

"The number of people is the same, the attack time is the same, and the military order is the same......" Ye Haotian muttered twice in a low voice, and suddenly asked: "Is there Wu Rulong's men and horses in your team?"

"There are four hundred people who are brothers of Maple Leaf City, and the remaining half are Wu Rulong's subordinates, if you look at it from the perspective of combat effectiveness alone, it is even higher than the original team. ”

Ye Haotian was silent for a moment, and then said, "Then Zhao Gao's team should also have your people, right?"

"Yes, the helpers sent by the One Yuan Sect and the rest of the city brothers are attacking from the right flank. Zhou Qi said.

"If you were Wu Rulong and wanted to harm your city lord, what would you do?" Ye Haotian asked.

"This ......" Zhou Qi hesitated: "Li Gongzi, forgive Zhou Qi for being stupid, I really can't see anything wrong from the military order, he just asked us to break through the opponent's defense line and attack back and forth...... Although the lord of the castle also thought it was strange, he couldn't find out what the problem was. ”

"This should be Xu Fu's idea. Ye Haotian said slowly: "He did this to hide people's eyes. Without waiting for Zhou Qi to ask, he continued: "Sending troops from two ways seems to be fair on the surface, but in fact there is a difference. First of all, 800 people against a thousand elite demon army, we are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, obviously there are more than 3,000 troops behind us but we don't use it, this is clearly to let you go to death. ”

"Of course, marching and fighting, how to send troops is decided by the commander, even if only two people are sent to fight against the two thousand demon army, as a soldier, you must obey, but after all, Brother Wang Qiang is the lord of a city, Wu Rulong will definitely have scruples if he wants to harm him, in order to avoid the suspicion of others, he sent another team of men and horses with the same number of men and horses to attack the demon army from the right side. ”

"But there are Wu Rulong's people in these two teams, he won't let his people go to death, right?" Zhou Qi was puzzled.

Ye Haotian said: "The problem lies in the elite of these King Wu, obviously they are helping Brother Wang Qiang kill the enemy, and secretly they should be monitoring you, if they are passive during the battle, or suddenly retreat, throw you into the encirclement of the demon army, whether it is light, or even worse, stab you in the back at a critical moment, only four hundred people, it is not the opponent of the demon army, if you add this Wu Rulong's people to fall into the well on the side, it will be even worse, in addition to the annihilation of the whole army, do you think there is any other result?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qi felt a chill in his heart, and his voice trembled a little: "This, Wu Rulong dares to do this, isn't he afraid that the county king will know? That's the lives of more than 400 soldiers." ”

"You're all dead, who knows?" Ye Haotian continued: "Besides, his bigger hind hand is still behind. ”。

"Right Army?"

Ye Haotian nodded: "Yes, in the team attacking from the right side, there is a disciple of the Yuan Sect, on the battlefield over there, I believe that Wu Rulong will dispatch the real elite, although the number of demon troops is large, but with the cultivation masters of the Yiyuan Sect and the personal guards of King Wu, they should be able to deal with it, and even have the hope of winning." Don't forget, the red-armored guards brought by Wu Rulong all have the cultivation of the three realms, and they also have imperial armor and body protection on their bodies, and their personal combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to that of ordinary soldiers. ”
