Chapter 287

On the other hand, the Night Country was silent for a long time, Zhao Wu had already explained the strategy of attacking the Snow Army to this person in advance, and this person strongly agreed with Zhao Wu's decision, sending troops as soon as possible just in case and ensuring that the Night Army captured the Snow Country as soon as possible, but this person could see that Zhao Wu did not seem to have a tendency to directly say his intentions. As a bystander, Night Country joined the army and was really anxious about the performance of those generals.

"This commander does have the idea of defeating the Snow Army one by one, I wonder what the generals think is the best thing to do?" It had been half an hour since the meeting began, but the general had not been able to give meaningful advice, and Zhao Wu, who had been waiting for a long time, had to give them a hint.

Otherwise, if the generals had been conjecturing randomly, Zhao Wu didn't know how long it would take to get down to business with them, so Zhao Wu was actually a little impatient at the moment.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Wu finally spoke, and these generals were very happy when they saw that Zhao Wu seemed to really have the intention of ambushing the Snow Army, and then they all thought about the question that Zhao Wu was raising now.

According to their understanding of Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu must have formulated a policy for ambushing the enemy army, and now Zhao Wu needs them to give different opinions in order to formulate a more thorough battle plan, and they are very interested in this.

Thinking that Zhao Wu wanted to test their abilities, all the generals were eager to give their opinions in order to let Zhao Wu see their talents.

In fact, if from Zhao Wu's point of view, those generals are very wrong in their thoughts at the moment, Zhao Wu really wants to know their opinions, but Zhao Wu prefers that they can give a direct battle strategy, because Zhao Wu will not personally lead the troops in the next battle with the Snow Army, and now Zhao Wu just wants to see and cultivate the ability of a cadre to attack.

On the other hand, if Zhao Wu needs to personally manage all the affairs in the army, then where will Zhao Wu have the time to think about the battle plan. And once all the power is taken on Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu's status in the army will rise to the highest height, but the corresponding responsibilities will also become heavier and heavier.

As the commander of the three armies, there are many things, and Zhao Wu naturally needs his subordinates to share some of it as much as possible, and this is also a long-term plan.

In the future, there may be more than two or three armies in the Night Kingdom, and there may be more armies to fight in more places, how can Zhao Wu alone lead so many armies at the same time, so Zhao Wu wants to let the generals put forward opinions There is also a purpose, which is to observe whether there are talents who can take the position of commander among the cadres.

For Zhao Xu, Zhao Wu at least doesn't have much hope now, but now that there are many generals in the night army, Zhao Wu has a lot of room for choice.

"Marshal, I wonder how long it will take for the nearest snow army to arrive here?"

"Two days. ”

"By that time, will those snow troops have already received the news of the defeat of their Xilan Pass defenders?" Thinking that it would take two days for the snow army closest to Xilan Pass to arrive here, and according to what those generals said about the snow country at the beginning, Li Xingyue, the commander of the cavalry camp, knew that the news of the defeat of the snow army had spread in Xilan City, and many civilians in and around the city were fleeing.

Those who fled would definitely bring the news to the army of Snow Country, and Li Xingyue felt that this was a problem.

"Yes, what if those troops receive the news and don't come to Xilanguan?" Suddenly, Li Jianran, the infantry battalion master who answered the call, brought all the questions to the point. Although it was raised in the form of inquiry, it finally talked about a situation that Zhao Wu needed all the generals to know.

"Does the marshal mean to let us attack in advance, and then ambush the Snow Army before they get the news?" Then Li Jianran's question was considered, and Li Xingyue made a guess with a puzzled face, this person didn't realize how important Li Jianran's guess was just now.

"Do you think that when our army set off the day after tomorrow, those snow troops haven't gotten the news yet?" I don't understand why the two main generals are so stupid, the key issue has been accidentally mentioned by Li Jianran, but neither of them realizes the importance of that issue.

Not wanting to wait for his subordinates to continue to speculate, Zhao Wu had lost patience with them. With a calm face, Zhao Wu reluctantly looked at the demeanor of a general in his eyes and stopped talking.

Those generals noticed the look of dissatisfaction on Zhao Wu's face, and they all saw that Zhao Wu was a little unhappy, and they didn't dare to ask the reason, but looked at each other one by one.

"Maybe those Snow Army have already received the news of Zhang Yuanyi's defeat, and according to the general, it is very likely that the Snow Army will not march to Xilanguan again. ”

"So where are they going?"

"City of Zephyr. ”

"Why go to Zephyr?"

"Xilan Pass has been broken by our army, and the Snow Country has lost the main barrier in the west, and those reinforcements will no longer have any geographical advantage when they rush to Xilan City, and it is impossible for several Snow Armies to arrive at the same time, so Ben Jiang thinks that it is the best strategy for them to turn their heads and defend West Wind City. ”

"General Li is right, if the royal family of Snow Country gets the news that Xilan Pass has been breached, it will definitely let those troops return to Westwind City. ”

"Then according to your meaning, the Snow Army will only march to Westwind City after getting the news, and will not come to Xilan City again?"

"Exactly. ”

"I see," because of Zhao Wu's dissatisfied question, the generals finally reacted, and then they all had correct guesses, and the person with a very clear opinion was Zhang Jiu, who insisted on not fighting before.

"Dare to ask the marshal, I wonder if what General Zhang said is true?" After the long discussion, Shi Tiangao, the commander of the arrow battalion, finally mustered up the courage to look at Zhao Wu.

"Nine times out of ten. At the moment, Zhao Wu just wanted to discuss the topic with his subordinates as soon as possible.

"Then according to the marshal's intentions, how should our army go to war?" Speaking of which, Shi Tiangao still pushed the problem to Zhao Wu. Regarding Shi Tiangao's inquiry, Zhao Wu frowned and glanced at Shi Tiangao with some dissatisfaction.

"Now that you have guessed some of Ben Shuai's intentions, then Ben Shuai will no longer sell more guanzi. "Zhao Wu really doesn't want to waste time with those generals at this moment," just as General Zhang said, the people of Xilan City and the civilians living near Chengguan already know the news of our army's defeat of their Snow Army, and the news of the Snow Army's defeat will inevitably reach those several Snow Country armies. ”

"As soon as they get the news that Xilan Pass has been lost, the generals who are leading the troops will definitely change the direction of their march and march towards Zephyr City instead. There is no need to defend Nishiran, and it is wise to go to Zephyr City to accept the direct command of the Snow Royalty, and I believe that the Snow Royalty will definitely let their army retreat to Kyoto."

"According to Ben Shuai, it will take some time before several Snow Country armies have all received the news, and Ben Shuai wants to send troops as soon as possible to stop those snow troops as soon as possible before they arrive in Zephyr City after receiving the news. ”

"Is that enough time? Our army will only set off the day after tomorrow, will we be able to catch up with those snow troops at that time?"

"There are many mountains between West Lan City and West Wind City, and the Snow Country's army will have to walk a long way to get around those mountain areas. As long as our army catches up with them as soon as possible, we will definitely be able to catch them by surprise. "Zhao Wu is very confident in the strategy of ambushing the Snow Army halfway.

"But they have several armies, shall we fight only one of them?" said one of the generals, a stupid question.

"Of course not, the Snow Army has several troops, each of which has more than 30,000 troops, adding up to nearly 200,000 troops, cavalry, infantry, archers, and the strength is still very strong. ”

Zhao Wu didn't want his subordinates to ask stupid questions again, so he explained to them in great detail, "But before several snow armies didn't meet the army, each army only had tens of thousands of people. Our army has 150,000 troops, which can also be divided into several parts according to the opinion of the commander, and then led by the generals. ”

"Although there will be a little weakness in numbers at that time, but with the help of troops and strategy, the shortage of troops will definitely be reversed, and the commander is sure enough to use the strategy of ambush to completely defeat the remnants of the Snow Army, but I don't know if the generals can be confident?" Speaking of this, Zhao Wu finally laid out the battle plan in its entirety.

It was also not until this moment that those generals finally understood Zhao Wu's true intentions, it turned out that they really wanted to ambush the Snow Army, and they still broke it one by one. It's just that Zhao Wu's strategy is too advanced, and the generals are really out of reach.

"The subordinates are willing to lead the troops to participate in the war," thinking that he hadn't even guessed one-tenth of Zhao Wu's mind just now, Zhao Xu was deeply ashamed and at the same time, there was a fighting spirit rising in his heart, so he expressed his attitude for the first time.

"The last general is willing to lead troops to ambush those snow troops," following Zhao Xu, the other generals agreed one after another, and in a blink of an eye, only two people were left who had not yet expressed their position, the two generals only hesitated but did not think that Zhao Wu's strategy was not good, they were just worried about the lack of troops.

As for the other generals, seeing that the main generals in their battalion all agreed, they naturally had no objections one by one, after all, Zhao Wu's decision was not missed from beginning to end.

"In that case, the generals and the commander will discuss the specific battle plan together," said Zhao Wu, his eyes shifted to the map on the table, and then pointed to the map to explain to the generals how many enemy forces were and the routes that the enemy might take, and finally Zhao Wu also deliberately pointed out the locations on those routes that were suitable for the night army to set up ambushes.

After talking about the situation of several enemy armies, Zhao Wu divided the forces that could fight on his side into four parts, and then appointed the commander of the troops and the relevant auxiliary personnel from among the main generals.

It was indeed a bit of a big appetite for the night army to attack the four snow armies at the same time, but after Zhao Wu told the preliminary plan and the possibility of winning the war, the generals did not have any doubts about Zhao Wu's words. By now, it can be said that all the generals and Zhao Wu have the confidence to annihilate the enemy's forces.
