Chapter 535: Fixed

"Marshal Zhao, according to the report of the spies, the Lei Kingdom has sent 100,000 troops to our country to reinforce the territory, what do you think?" Bai Shuilian put down the position of marshal, and now it is more like a member of the army.

"In the past year, the Lei Country and the Gu Country have fought dozens of battles, large and small, and they have been holding each other. Although the Night Country and the Purple Cloud Country sent troops to help, the situation has not improved, and it has taken too much manpower and material resources, and it is extremely difficult to draw out 100,000 soldiers and horses now. ”

"Then, according to Marshal Zhao's opinion, after the army of the Lei Kingdom joins forces with our army, can it solve the danger of the night capital?"

"After the arrival of the Lei army, even though the strength of the Night Country reached 350,000, there was still a gap between the strength of the two countries' combined forces. Moreover, the marshals of the two countries have already asked for help from each other, and when the reinforcements of the two countries arrive, the strength of the troops will increase to at least 700,000, and the gap between the forces of the enemy and us will be even greater. ”

Zhao Wu's words made the generals worried, but Zhao Wu's own face never changed much.

"Then according to Marshal Zhao's opinion, what should our army do?" Bai Shuilian saw that Zhao Wu's expression was calm, and he himself did not show any flustered behavior.

"Would you like to ask Marshal Bai to speak first?"

"In Ben Shuai's humble opinion, for the sake of today's plan, our army has only two ways to go. The first is to join forces with the Lei army and then attack the night capital in one place, and the inside and outside should be combined, opening a gap to help the king get out of the siege, and then planning for the future; the second is to ambush the reinforcements of the two countries halfway, so that the commanders of the two countries are afraid. Rebuild the momentum and force the commanders of the two countries to take the initiative to withdraw their troops. ”

Under the attention of the generals, Bai Shuilian directly said the strategy she thought of, and all the generals felt that Bai Shuilian's strategy was feasible after hearing it.

"Bai's plan may not be able to enter Marshal Zhao's eyes, and he also asked Marshal Zhao to give advice," When those generals were thinking about how to implement Bai Shuilian's strategy, out of their understanding of Zhao Wu, Bai Shuilian humbly asked Zhao Wu for advice, and did not feel that the strategy he thought of was clever at all.

In fact, Bai Shuilian's two combat strategies had been considered by Zhao Wu before. Since Bai Shuilian asked, Zhao Wu simply said it directly, so that the generals could listen to it together.

"Marshal Bai's two methods are indeed feasible, but calculating the time, the time it takes for Lei's army to converge with our army is similar to the time when the reinforcements from the two countries arrived. If the two countries and two armies of Mon Lai had taken the first step, it would have been difficult for Marshal Bai to implement his first plan. ”

"As for the ambush of the reinforcements of the two countries halfway, we need to discuss with the commander of the Lei army in advance, only Marshal Bai or I personally go to meet with the Lei army, can the plans of the two sides be synchronized, but the commander of the Lei army may not agree with our method, after coming thousands of miles, he will have to travel a long way to ambush the coalition army with us. At that time, if the two sides cannot reach an agreement, our army will lose the opportunity to ambush the reinforcements of the two countries, and in the end it can only engage the combined forces of the two countries head-on. ”

"Judging from the terrain around Yedu, by that time, our army will not have any advantage under the disparity between the enemy and our forces. Zhao Wu did not hurry to analyze Bai Shuilian's two strategies, and put forward the problems of implementing the plan. The generals who listened to it frowned, they still thought that Marshal Bai's plan was good, but now they felt very embarrassed to use it.

The two countries of Monlai are also neighbors of the Night Country, if the three countries send troops at the same time, the time for the armies of several parties to arrive in the Night Country is similar as Zhao Wu said, as for who is early and who is late, it depends on the situation, but according to the current situation, the night army must not wait. Even if the Night Army can't think of a plan to help the Night Capital in the limited time, they must be prepared for any unexpected situation.

"Marshal Zhao's doubts can be understood, and Marshal Ben also thought that if the first strategy is used, our army can divide a small number of troops to interfere with the two coalition forces on the way to the reinforcements of the two countries and slow down the itinerary of the two coalition forces. At the same time, meet with the commander of the Lei Army in advance, and when the time comes, there is no need to join forces with the Lei Army, but only need to send troops from the north and south at the same time. ”

"If we want to really ambush the reinforcements of the two countries, our army can predict the Lei army, try to reach a comprehensive cooperation with the Lei army, and then use the advantage of being familiar with the terrain to ambush halfway, and we will definitely be able to catch the reinforcements of the two countries by surprise. ”

It is clear that the white water lotus has thought of a comprehensive plan in advance, and it can be used to deal with all kinds of problems that may be encountered in implementing the plan.

Nodding at Bai Shuilian, Zhao Wu turned to look at the generals on both sides, judging from the faces of the generals, they all seemed to agree with Bai Shuilian's strategy. But in Zhao Wu's own opinion, Bai Shuilian's statements were too paper-based.

"I don't know what the generals think?" No matter what the final decision was, Zhao Wu still had to give the generals a chance to express their opinions.

The generals in the camp were not like those Night Country generals in the Snow Country, all of them had relatively rich combat experience, but Zhao Wu couldn't ask too much in this regard.

"The subordinates feel that Bai Shuai's strategy is feasible, whether it is the main attack or the ambush of the night army, it is possible to help the king solve the crisis. ”

The subordinates also agreed with Marshal White's proposal. ”

"The subordinates feel that it is better to attack one place, cooperate with the defenders in the city, and break the enemy army. ”

"The subordinates felt that ambushing the coalition forces could damage the morale of the main forces of the two coalition forces, and it would be easier to fight them or force them away afterwards. ”

The generals either agreed with Marshal White's strategy or said which strategy was better. After listening to it for a long time and not hearing any other opinions, Zhao Wu was inevitably a little disappointed.

"I already know the opinions of the generals," Zhao Wu waved his hands to both sides, not letting those generals say anything more, and then looked at Bai Shuilian again: "If it is according to Marshal Bai's plan, our army will be completely passive, and once there is an emergency, our army will be caught off guard." ”

After so many battles, large and small, Zhao Wu attached great importance to the control of the war situation, and the current situation was the main factor that determined the outcome of the war. Now that the night country is in danger, it depends more on the grasp of the timing. If you blindly wait for the right time, it is just a waste of time, just like when Snow Country concentrated its army in Zephyr City and waited for the arrival of the night army, so Zhao Wu was not a person who was willing to wait.

"I don't know what Zhao Shuai's high opinion is?" Bai Shuilian knew that she was not as capable as Zhao Wu in leading troops in battle, and after Zhao Wu vetoed her strategy, Bai Shuilian immediately guessed that Zhao Wu must have other ideas, so she did not hesitate to ask.

"The night is trapped, the king's order is not working, and our army is passive. If we wait for reinforcements for a long time, not to mention how much chance of ambushing the allied forces of the two countries is, once we cannot completely annihilate the allied reinforcements, our army will lose any advantage of turning passive into active.

"Although the commanders of the allied forces of the two countries are afraid of us, they are not mediocre and incompetent, and once they see the combat strength of our army, they decide to fight our army head-on. At that time, not only the night capital, but we will also be in an extremely disadvantageous situation. When the coalition forces are prepared, it will be even more difficult to use Marshal Bai's strategy to help Jun Shang break through. Perhaps Marshal Bai's immediate feasibility is feasible, but Marshal Ben would rather take a risk than waste time here. ”

"What does the marshal mean?" Zhao Wu generally meant that he did not agree with his own proposition, but Bai Shuilian had not yet understood what Zhao Wu's plan was.

"The commander decided to lead 50,000 elites to take Lai Guo Kyoto, and after Lai sent reinforcements, he broke through Lai Du in one fell swoop and captured the royal family of Lai State, and then blackmailed the monarch of Lai State to force the Lai army to withdraw. When the time comes, as soon as the Lai army leaves, the Mongolian army will be alone here. ”

"Marshal Zhao, is this plan really feasible?" A flash of surprise flashed in Bai Shuilian's eyes, and her eyes looked straight at Zhao Wu, her heart full of incredulity. While being surprised that Zhao Wu could think of aspects that he hadn't thought about at all, he thought that if Zhao Wu's strategy succeeded, the danger of the night capital would be resolved in the safest way.

"This marshal has specially investigated, the commander of the Lai army is a member of the royal family, once the Lai royal family issues an order to withdraw the army, this person will definitely obey the military order. ”

"Okay, since Zhao Shuai has such confidence, we will naturally act as ordered," Bai Shuilian shouted hello, and his heart churned violently, in his opinion, Zhao Wu's strategy is so high, regardless of the risk, it can be regarded as incredible, presumably the commanders of the two countries would never have imagined that Zhao Wu would lead the army to attack Lai Kingdom Kyoto in turn, this move can be described as a draw from the bottom of the kettle.

At the same time, the generals also felt that Zhao Wu's strategy was extremely clever, although they did not realize how risky it was to use Zhao Wu's strategy.

"I don't know what the marshal's specific plan is?" Bai Shuilian didn't raise any questions, only wanted to know how Zhao Wu planned to use this strategy to outwit Laidu.

"Ben Shuai will lead 50,000 elites to travel lightly, first through the hallway, and then on the banks of the Xuelie River, all the way to avoid the enemy's eyeline, and go straight to the border between the two countries. After arriving at the border, take the small road, avoid the route of the Rai reinforcements, and then stealthily rush to the vicinity of Lae, and finally choose the right time to tackle the problem. As long as Lai has sent reinforcements, there will be no troops in Lai Du City to stop our army at that time, and it will be easy to capture the royal family of Lai Kingdom. ”

Next, Zhao Wu explained in detail how to reach Laiguo and how to capture Laidu to the generals. In terms of the marching route, Zhao Wu's description of some of the terrain of Laiguo was even more specific than that of some of the terrain of Night Country, which made the generals realize that Zhao Wu had already made a complete plan for the marching route.

"Zhao Shuai has such confidence, this plan is successful, and I am willing to listen to Zhao Shuai's dispatch. After Zhao Wu finished talking about how to attack Laiguo Kyoto, Bai Shuilian immediately expressed her position, and did not compare the strategy he proposed before with Zhao Wu's strategy at all.

When the generals saw Bai Shuilian's statement, they did not hesitate one by one, and saluted in unison: "It's all up to Zhao Shuai to send it." ”

As the commander of the three armies, Zhao Wu not only has excellent command ability, but also has the charm of a commander. If Zhao Wu was just a newly appointed marshal of the royal family, many people would think that Zhao Wu's strategy was a fantasy and would not be adopted at all. Fortunately, those generals did not question Zhao Wu's decision-making at all.
