Chapter 552: Military Intelligence Continued

After agreeing to send reinforcements to take the night capital in one fell swoop, it is not surprising that the monarch of the Lai Kingdom transferred the guards who were originally guarding Kyoto, and at the same time tried to draw troops from all over the country to form an army of 150,000 people.

If they can destroy the Night Kingdom, they will be able to complete the mission entrusted to them by the Luo Heavenly Nation. Regardless of the eventual losses, the monarch of Rai, as well as many of his ministers, were confident in conquering the Night Kingdom. After the 150,000 Lai troops rushed to the Night Country from all over the country, there are now only a small number of city defense troops and some guards in the palace in Lai Du Wu City, and the total number is not even 10,000.

After getting the information he needed, Zhao Wu immediately discussed with the generals how to attack the city, saying that the discussion was actually mainly a matter of deployment. On the way here, Zhao Wu had already taken into account all the circumstances, and now the situation in Laidu was the best one for the night army, and all Zhao Wu had to do now was to give instructions for the siege.

In terms of implementing the plan, Zhao Wu's main policy was to first let people disguise themselves as civilians of Laiguo to seize the city gate, and then the follow-up army entered the city as soon as possible, and then surrounded the palace in three ways. During this period, civilians in the city were to be killed if they resisted. Zhao Wu brought the elite of the night army, and the equipment could not be said to be excellent, but at least it was complete, not to mention the golden scale bow, there were 10,000 ordinary bows and arrows alone.

There may be some family members in the city who will organize a rebellion, but they will not be able to stop the footsteps of the night army, and by the time most of them react, Zhao Wu may have already occupied the palace. When the time comes, once the monarch of the Lai Kingdom is captured, all resistance will cease. Next, as long as everything goes well, Zhao Wu will be able to make Lai Guo withdraw his troops within two days. Once Lai Guo withdraws his troops, the follow-up plan formulated by Zhao Wu, Bai Shuilian and the generals can be carried out normally.

Ten days have passed, and the 100,000 troops sent by the Thunder Country have successfully arrived in the territory of the Night Country. According to Zhao Wu's plan, Bai Shuilian had already met with the commander of the Lei Army's army for the first time, and conveyed Zhao Wu's meaning in person, so Bai Shuilian also deliberately brought the Lei army to a specific area to station.

The movement of the 100,000-strong army was not small, and the allied forces of the two countries not only noticed it, but also found out the details of the Lei army. 100,000 plus the original 250,000 army of the Night Country, a total of 350,000, plus the 80,000 defenders in the city, 400,000 troops were enough to pose a threat to their coalition forces.

At the beginning, Zhao Wu conquered the Snow Country with one enemy and two enemies, and his prestige spread far and wide, and all countries were in awe, and now the commanders of the two coalition forces were very worried that Zhao Wu would bring troops to call, so they hoped that the reinforcements would come as soon as possible.

Before the reinforcements arrived, what they were most afraid of was being flanked by the armies of the Night Country and the Thunder Country, and at that time, they would be in a difficult situation if they were overwhelmed, coupled with the interference of the defenders in the Night Capital City. But in fact, the overall strength of the armies of the Night Kingdom and the Thunder Kingdom is not as strong as they imagined, because most of them are new recruits, not as good as the well-trained coalition forces of the two countries, and neither the Lei Army nor the Night Army have the idea of a head-on confrontation with the two coalition forces, it is just a miscalculation by the two coalition commanders.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that the night capital has a chance to breathe, if the two coalition forces take turns to attack the night capital, do not give the defenders in the city a chance to breathe, even if the night capital is rich in materials, I am afraid it will not be able to hold half a month, but now the two coalition forces have missed the best opportunity to attack the city, from the original active position slowly changed to passive.

At first, the idea of the two commanders to besiege Yedu with 500,000 troops was good, but unfortunately this idea did not develop to an advantage, but died in the middle of the way. Now that the siege could not be achieved, the two coalition commanders had to discuss how to deal with the armies on both sides of the night capital.

In this regard, the commanders of the two armies have different views, one side advocates turning back, destroying the night army first, and then waiting for the reinforcements to arrive just in time to attack the night capital, and there is only one Lei army left. The other side considered completing the deployment first, so as not to let the armies on both sides of the night capital have an opportunity, and then wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then attack the city on a large scale, as long as the night capital is captured, they will not have to face the two armies again, and the damage of the two coalition forces will naturally be greatly reduced at that time.

The two sides are at a stalemate over their respective views, and no one has been able to raise their views for a long time. Even if there are many strategists in the coalition army, but in the face of the current general trend, they can only follow the will of the commanders of the two armies to seek safety.

During the conflict between the commanders of the coalition forces, the situation in the night country is developing in a good direction, but it is a pity that the news inside the night capital still can't be transmitted, and the news from the outside can't be transmitted.

Half a month passed, and half a month later, Ruan Qiling and the generals finally worked out a comprehensive plan to attack the night army. Faced with the advice given by a group of animal trainers, Ruan Qiling had to accept the fact that they could no longer attack the Night Army with a herd of fierce beasts. First, it was more difficult to gather the fierce beasts that were dispersed by the Night Army, and second, the Night Army was already on guard.

To put it simply, even if they can gather a large number of fierce beasts, the Night Army will definitely be able to detect them in advance before they act. Moreover, their men could no longer infiltrate the Night Army's camp and sprinkle things around the Night Army's camp that could attract ferocious beasts.

The night barracks were on alert for dozens of miles, and the wing army had no chance to take advantage of it. If you force the old trick to repeat it, it will only scare away the night army. Once the Night Army retreats, retreats to the border passes, or further afield and uses the walls as a defensive line, they will no longer have any chance to take advantage of the beast attack.

The monarch of the Wing Kingdom did not give Ruan Qiling much time, and Ruan Qiling did not have time to waste. Reinforcements had already arrived, and Ruan Qiling had made the final plan just in time for the reinforcements to arrive.

In the big tent of the Chinese army of the wing army, there are some new faces, all of them are generals who lead reinforcements from all walks of life, and the youngest is also in his thirties, but Wu Xiu's face looks younger than ordinary people, and people in their thirties look not much different from people in their twenties. Of course, regardless of age, the new generals must obey Ruan Qiling's orders. Because the Ruan family was originally a relative of the emperor, Ruan Qiling's position was still indestructible.

Today, Ruan Qiling summoned all the generals here to discuss the matter of starting a war with the night army, and various factors such as food and grass materials, military morale, and the people's will of the Wing Country are urging Ruan Qiling to come up with results as soon as possible.

"I wonder if the marshal has summoned us and the others here, what is there to discuss?" asked a general.

"Master Zhang, let's talk about it," Ruan Qiling didn't answer directly, but instead looked at the only animal trainer in the big tent, an old man over sixty years old.

"The previous marshal used the fierce beast surprise attack to take it by surprise, and almost effortlessly annihilated all the front troops of the night army, which dealt a great blow to the morale of the night army, and at the same time made the night army wary of us," the old man, who was called Zhang Shi by Ruan Qiling, stroked his beard and continued: "Although the night army is too cautious and afraid of our army, it does make our army lose the opportunity to use the fierce beast to attack the night army on a large scale. ”

"What does Master Zhang mean?" When the old man said this, a general had already considered it.

"After discussion with us and a group of beast tamers, although our army cannot attack the night army with the help of fierce beasts on a large scale, it is not completely impossible to use the power of fierce beasts," Zhang Shi did not sell Guan Zi, and continued: "After discussing with us, the marshal decided to lead some fierce beasts to rush into the enemy camp first, destroy the layout of the enemy camp, and disturb the enemy's military morale. However, the only beasts that can be used now are low-level beasts, and they will not cause substantial damage to the enemy at that time. ”

"Master Zhang's meaning must be understood by everyone, before the decisive battle with the Night Army, those fierce beasts will help us take the lead. Then when the night army was in chaos, our army followed up and launched an attack, defeating the night army in one fell swoop. ”

"Although the method of the marshal and Zhang Shi is good, I just don't know how much impact the use of some low-level fierce beasts can have on the enemy?" Ruan Qiling said a little vaguely, a general was worried that he would still lose to the night army in a head-on duel, so he immediately raised a question, of course, this question is also a question that many generals are concerned about.

"Not only can it disrupt the position of the night army, but it can also make the night army lose half of its combat strength in a short period of time, because Ben Shuai and Zhang Shi still have a clever plan. As soon as this plan is made, the night army must be caught off guard, and then lose a large number of troops in an unprepared situation. Once the gap in strength between the two sides widens in a short period of time, the morale of the night army will definitely plummet, and our army will definitely win at that time. As long as we can win at Biansai, no matter how many deserters Zhao Xu can take away, our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue and eradicate all the night troops in one fell swoop. ”

"I don't know what the marshal's plan is?" Seeing that Ruan Qiling was full of confidence, the generals in the camp raised their spirits one by one.

"When the time comes, you will naturally know," Ruan Qiling deliberately sold a pass, and did not intend to tell the generals immediately, of course, this is also to prevent the leakage of military aircraft before the war.

"Since the marshal is so sure, we will follow the marshal's orders," the general who questioned him realized that he had asked a question that he should not have asked, and immediately changed his words and changed the subject.

"Marshal, there are still 30,000 newly recruited soldiers from the Night Army on the side of Winless City, and they have been training, will those 30,000 soldiers affect our plans?"

"I'm not afraid that there are many of them, but I'm afraid that Zhao Xu won't transfer those 30,000 soldiers," Ruan Qiling's expression was over, and he had the idea of wanting to wipe out the night army. In Ruan Qiling's opinion, if their plan is successfully executed, then the more night troops who participate in the war as much as possible, and after saving, they will need to work hard to deal with the remaining night army.

Ruan Qiling's answer seemed to be a little wrong, but from Ruan Qiling's tone, the generals could hear Ruan Qiling's confidence. Their manager is so confident, how can they be timid. (There are not many manuscripts in storage......)
