Chapter 333: Everyone is a bait

When Su Jian returned to the army, he ordered the army to prepare for battle, because he knew that even if he lost 8,000 to annihilate Sanchez's 3,000 back soldiers, this battle humiliated Sanchez, and as long as Sanchez still had a little bit of the barbaric blood of the Lingnan Yi tribe, it was impossible for him not to fight back.

Moreover, he has learned the true combat effectiveness of the Beiwei soldiers through this battle, and he knows very well that with the Xiaocai Guards and Yulin Cavalry in his hands, if he wants to fight with the Beiwei soldiers, it is estimated that the combat effectiveness of the two sides should be three to one, that is, he can only solve the 10,000 Beiwei soldiers by dispatching 30,000 cavalry on his side.

Therefore, in the face of such a powerful enemy, in the face of such a large army, Su Jian had to be cautious.

However, there was something wrong with Su Jian's judgment, because when he returned to the barracks and prepared to face Sanchez's crazy attack, he found that Sanchez not only did not launch after suffering a loss, but also chose to defend the barracks after Sanchez was deployed to 40,000 elite foot soldiers.

Sanchez's cringe made Su Jian puzzled.

Sanchez has 40,000 back soldiers, this is a terrifying foot soldier, plus Sang Xiong has allocated him another 40,000 elite foot soldiers, he has 80,000 elite foot soldiers, enough to fight with his own 100,000 army, but why would Sanchez be so forbearant this time?

There is another point that makes Su Jian even more puzzled, that is, why would Mulberry Bear send Sanchez 40,000 elite foot soldiers, isn't he not far from Si County? Why do you suddenly stop moving forward, but seem to want to go back?

These two doubts made Su Jian nervous and uncomfortable.

On this day, he was flipping through the official documents in the big tent, and he saw Guo Lun striding into the big tent.

"General-" Guo Lun walked into the big tent and saluted Su Jian, his 30,000 horses are now only 2,000 left, according to Dayan's military policy, he is basically disabled, and he has been removed from Dayan's army sequence. And he himself has not yet returned to his former position, so he can only work in the barracks as an ordinary sergeant. However, because he used to be the captain of the Yulin Cavalry and had a good relationship with Su Jian, he would often go in and out of Su Jian's big tent like he did today.

"Guo Lun, why are you here? What's the matter? Su Jian looked up at Guo Lun and asked a little curiously, but his eyes implied a faint smile, as if he had already guessed that Guo Lun would come to him.

"General, today Sanchez has 40,000 more Lingnan foot soldiers in his hands, but there is still no trace of the coach Sang Xiong, and Sanchez can bear this humiliation, I'm afraid it's very strange!" Guo Lun said straight to the point.

It is said that Sang Xiong led the 20th army to kill Jinju City, and now only Sanchez's 80,000 army appeared in front of them, which can't help but make Guo Lun suspicious!

"What do you think?" Su Jian asked.

This is one of his advantages, no matter what questions the ministry general raises, he will ask the ministry general what he means, and give the ministry general respect.

"There are more than 100,000 troops stationed in Jinzhou City, if Sang Xiong really does not appear outside Jinzhou City, we can concentrate our forces to deal with Sanchez and strive to completely annihilate the 80,000 Lingnan Yi army." Guo Lun said.

After two battles with the Lingnan Yi tribe, Guo Lun's confidence is increasing day by day, and now he is a little disdainful of the remarks that the Lingnan Yi tribe is strong.

"How to wipe them all?" Su Jian continued to ask.

"This-" Guo Lun was choked, he just wanted to give Su Jian a suggestion, as for how to annihilate the enemy, this will only continue to be discussed after Su Jian agrees with his opinion, so he didn't think about it carefully, and now when Su Jian asks him like this, he doesn't know how to answer.

"Do you know how strong the combat effectiveness of the back soldiers is?" Su Jian ignored Guo Lun's embarrassed expression and asked lightly.

"Compared to our cavalry, it's about three to one!" Guo Lun replied seriously, he had fought against the foot soldiers of the Lingnan Yi tribe in both battles, and he knew very well the true combat effectiveness of this army.

"If we want to annihilate all 40,000 back soldiers, how many cavalry do we need? Add to that Sanchez's 40,000 elite soldiers, how many troops do we need? Su Jian continued to ask.

"About 160,000!" Guo Lun replied truthfully.

If you want to defeat Sanchez, it is estimated that you don't need so many people, but Guo Lun wants to completely annihilate Sanchez's 80,000 army, which can't help but consider all kinds of factors.

"Do we have so many people?" Su Jian still asked with a flat expression.

"This-" Guo Lun stopped talking for a while, he knew very well the current situation of Jinzhou, although there were more than 100,000 troops in the city, they were all state armies from nearby states, and their combat effectiveness was high, and they could not be compared with the Dayan Praetorian Guard.

And the army with combat effectiveness on his side is only 100,000, and the 80,000 foot soldiers who want to completely annihilate Sanchez are obviously not enough.

Therefore, at this moment, Guo Lun realized the predicament of his side.

"Go down! Go back and think about how to annihilate Sanchez's army of 80,000, and then tell General Ben. Su Jian said lightly, and said when Guo Lun was about to leave the big tent, "However, you have to remember one thing, our task is to hold Jinju City, no matter what the price is, as for the total annihilation of the Mulberry Bear army, we will hand it over to Your Highness!" We have to believe in Your Highness, he is capable of doing this! ”

"No!" Guo Lun took the order and strode out of the big tent.

When Guo Lun's figure disappeared, Su Jian stopped the official business at hand and muttered, "If you want to annihilate the army of Sang Xiong, you must have sacrifices, but the imperial court will not allow Jinzhou City to be used as bait, so we can only let our 100,000 army be used as bait!" ”

At this, a look of pain appeared on his face.

Because using 100,000 fine horses as bait, such a price is indeed too great. However, if the current Dayan wants to end the war on the southern front as soon as possible and devote all his troops and experience to the northern front, he cannot help but make such sacrifices on the southern front.

Also in Sanchez's big tent, Sanchez looked pensive, his brow furrowed, as if he was making an extremely difficult decision.

In front of him, two generals sat upright, bowing their heads and waiting for Sanchez's orders.

Halfway through, Sanchez came back to his senses and sighed slightly.

"Why does the general sigh?" The young general of the two asked.

"Does the Great General have nothing else to tell General Ben?" Sanchez asked.

The two tiger generals in front of him were none other than the 40,000-step elite generals and deputy generals sent by Sang Xiong to command. The name of the main general is Lan Jing, and the deputy general is the young general who spoke just now, and his name is Shi Feng. Both of them are the leading figures among the eight ethnic groups in Lingnan, and they are the pillars of the patriarchs of various ethnic groups.

"Does the General really want to do this?" Sanchez asked again, a faint reluctance in his eyes.

"Yes." Blue Mirror replied, in a clean tone, without a hint of Russell's words.

"Since this is what the general meant, let's do as he says!" Sanchez took a deep breath and seemed to have made a big decision, "Keep an eye on Su Jian's 100,000 iron cavalry and the army in Jinzhou City, so that the general can calmly deal with Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao in Dayan!" ”

Say it, and he will be silent!

Sang Xiong had already told Sanchez about his plan, that is, he himself was going to personally kill Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao in Dayan, and ordered Sanchez to lead 80,000 foot soldiers to stop Su Jian and the army in Jinzhou City, and prevent them from rescuing Ji Qingchen. Moreover, Sang Xiong had already told him with certainty that Ji Qingchen only had 130,000 cavalry around him, and the success rate of killing Ji Qingchen was very high.

This can't help but make the mulberry bear tempted!

Thinking about it, it is difficult for anyone to encounter such a good thing, it is not someone else who is killed this time, it is Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao of Dayan, who is a strong existence who was personally named the king of Dayan by Emperor Dayan! If killing Ji Qingchen this time is equivalent to making Dayan lose Optimus Prime, Dayan's country is bound to collapse, who doesn't want to have such a great feat?

But he is Sang Xiong's nephew and Sang Xiong's subordinate, and Sang Xiong gave him a new mission, and he can only take orders.

Lan Jing and Shi Feng just nodded slightly, they were not much different from Sanchez's position, but Sanchez was more important than them. Similarly, the two of them were also very sorry in their hearts, letting them stay under the city of Jinzhou, and they were also very unwilling to give up the great achievement of killing Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao of Great Yan, to others.

"Well, then go down! As for how to deal with Su Jian and attack Jinju City, we will discuss it tomorrow! Sanchez said.

Blue Mirror and Shi Feng took the order, and the two got up and bowed to Sanchez, and then exited the big tent. Since the general told them to obey Sanchez's orders, they had to follow Sanchez's lead.

It seems that for Sanchez, Blue Mirror and Shi Feng, killing Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao of Dayan, is like cutting tofu, and it is their regret that Sang Xiong does not let them participate in the war, so that they lose the opportunity to become famous in the first battle.

In fact, when it came to it, they didn't know how powerful Ji Qingchen was at all.

Of course, even Sang Xiong, the commander of the Lingnan army, didn't know how powerful Ji Qingchen was to be so confident, thinking that with the army in his hands, he could kill Ji Qingchen and collapse Dayan's Optimus Prime. Because he believed too much in the strength of his back soldiers, he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the cavalry around Ji Qingchen too much.

But it's too good to think about after all, but the reality may not be so perfect.

Just when Su Jian and Sanchez were facing off under the city of Jinzhou, and when Sang Xiong stopped his march and was about to deal with Ji Qingchen with all his might, Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao in Dayan, had already led the cavalry to rush out of the valley and set foot on the official road of Jinzhou, blatantly following the figure of the Sang Xiong army and killing the 120,000 army of Sang Xiong.

Since Sang Xiong wants to avoid the war and wants to wait until the 100,000 soldiers arrive in Jinju to fight again, let him Ji Qingchen take the initiative to fight Sang Xiong! This is Ji Qingchen's current thoughts! He wanted to take the initiative to attack and fight Sang Xiong, and he wanted to reach Jinju with 100,000 back soldiers, and he had not killed Sang Xiong before he met with Sang Xiong.

Only in this way can the most fundamental problems be solved.

It was very risky for him to do so, and if he was not careful, he would be killed by Sang Xiong, but he had no choice but to take risks.
