Wang Rouhua is equivalent to the military advisor of the Yanmen Army, and Zhao Xuanji should respect her wisdom and insight. As for Zhao Ning's opinion, he had to listen to it, and he vaguely felt that Zhao Ning should already have an idea.

Wang Rouhua kept looking at the map and pondering, and when she heard Zhao Xuanji ask, she muttered:

"Although the Tianyuan Army cast a simple Guancheng in Feiying Mountain, Black Stone Valley, and Baifengkou, it was limited to the main part of Fengming Mountain, and the mountain was relatively rugged and steep, and only half of the hundreds of thousands of Tianyuan troops could be stuffed into Guancheng. ”

"Most of the Tianyuan army must be arranged inside Fengming Mountain, on the one hand, to form a defensive depth, and on the other hand, it can flexibly support everywhere, making the city more stable. ”

When she said this, everyone took a closer look and found that the situation was indeed the case, and the three Guancheng cities were indeed unable to accommodate more than 100,000 soldiers. This is a very important situation that directly affects the offensive choice of the large army.

Wang Rouhua continued:

"If you look at the whole map carefully, although Flying Eagle Mountain is narrow, there is a large open area in the back, which is enough to deploy heavy troops. Therefore, even if there are great cultivators who conquer Flying Eagle Mountain, it will still not be easy for the army to make progress. ”

"Although the terrain in front of the Black Rock Valley is open, the terrain behind it is not very wide, and there is no main road that can be defended according to danger, and it is impossible to establish a strong defense line in depth. ”

"The terrain before and after Baifengkou is not much different, but the terrain behind the gate, although the mountain package is not high and dangerous, it is still not easy for ordinary soldiers to climb up, and the mountain road is not wide. ”

This analysis was completely based on the actual situation of the map, and it was reasonable and well-founded, and the generals all nodded their heads when they heard it. And because the map has just been drawn and there is no distortion, this analysis is particularly useful.

"There are so many differences and doorways between the three passes, the inside and outside, and the front and back of the door, if we don't have this map, we will definitely not be able to see these just by observing before the gate. Thankfully, there is this map that has been prepared in advance. ”

This is what many generals think at the moment, they look at Zhao Ning's eyes and become more appreciative and admired, and they are also happy to surrender to Wang Rouhua's accurate analysis.

Before Wang Rouhua's words were finished, she continued: "Judging from the size of the terrain on the map, the soldiers in Guancheng, plus the soldiers behind Guancheng, will account for about seventy percent of the Tianyuan army.

"That is to say, there are still thirty percent of the Tianyuan Army, which is deployed further back, as a reserve to support various places.

"If we fight a fierce battle inside and outside the city, this reserve force will continue to reinforce the battlefield to make up for the attrition of the Tianyuan army, and replace the troops that have been exhausted from the battle for a long time or have suffered heavy casualties.

"If we quickly conquer Guancheng, this strange force can form a third battlefield outside of Guancheng and the internal battlefield of Guancheng, further increasing the depth of the Tianyuan Army's defense. ”

Speaking of which, Wang Rouhua's analysis has been completed, and finally concluded:

"All in all, the topography of Feiying Mountain, Black Stone Valley, and Baifengkou, even if it is precipitous, is only relatively steep and partly steep, and the whole cannot be compared with Yanmen Mountain.

"There are many mountains and valleys here with little difference in height, the terrain is gently undulating, and most of them can be used as battlefields, which is certainly conducive to our attack, but it is also conducive to the Tianyuan army to build a defensive gradient.

"Therefore, when we attack the three cities, we must not only have the direction of the main attack, but also choose the object of the feint, mobilize the opponent's surprise reinforcements with the feint, and then concentrate the elite to break through the main attack city!"

After listening to these words, many people took a long breath, just listening to Wang Rouhua say this, some generals felt like a battle, hearty.

At this time, Zhao Xuanji already had a strategy in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to say it, and asked according to Wang Rouhua's words: "Which Guancheng is suitable for the Yanmen army to attack?"

"Each of the three places has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there are pros and cons in either direction, but it is up to the governor to decide. Wang Rouhua did not give an answer.

She is good at analysis and planning, but she is not good at decision-making, in the past, it was Zhao Beiwang who made the last decision. This is also the reason why she is the military division of the Yanmen Army, not the commander of the Yanmen Army.

Zhao Xuanji bowed slightly, and Zhao Bei saw that he hadn't decided yet, so he expressed his opinion:

"The method of battlefield strategy and battle formation, in the final analysis, is the same as ever, and the core goal is to play to the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, and to attack the weak with the strong.

"Our army's infantry are well-trained, skilled in various tactics, and have strong bows and crossbows, while the Tianyuan army is all cavalry. If we want to win, we should deploy our forces and fight them in a large-scale duel to attack Blackstone Valley!

"As for the direction of the feint, Bai Fengkou is very suitable.

"Flying Eagle Mountain needs a decisive battle between the great cultivators of both sides, according to the situation of the vanguard battle, there are many cultivators of the Tianyuan Army, and the ten thousand masters are all in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, and they can't take advantage of the great cultivators who compete with them. ”

Zhao Xuanji nodded, and finally looked at Zhao Ning, and without waiting for him to ask, the latter said, "The last general seconded the proposal." ”

In fact, this is also Zhao Xuanji's opinion, since Zhao Beiwang and Zhao Ning both have the same opinion, he doesn't need to ask other generals, the army pays attention to orders from above and down, and there is no need to think too much.

However, Zhao Ning had no other ideas, Zhao Xuanji was somewhat surprised, he was used to Zhao Ning always having deep insights. However, considering the current situation on the battlefield, it is indeed difficult to have other strategies, and I am relieved.

At that moment, Zhao Xuanji began to dispatch troops and arrange tasks for various ministries.

......

Coming out of the big tent, the generals returned to the headquarters according to their duties, and Yang Jiani suddenly said to Zhao Ning:

"With the combat power displayed by the vanguard of the Tianyuan Army, even if we have all the advantages of foot soldiers, it is still extremely difficult to conquer Blackstone Valley head-on. Why don't you say it at the military conference if you have a plan?"

Zhao Ning was slightly stunned: "How do you know I have a plan?"

Yang Jiani asked rhetorically: "Don't you?"

"Yes, indeed. Zhao Ning did not deny it.

He felt a little weird, and the woman in front of him seemed to know him well. However, the truth is that they have been in serious contact for a very short time.

Seeing Yang Jiani waiting for him to continue, Zhao Ning continued: "My plan needs conditions, whether there is a chance to carry it out is a matter of words, we have to wait to see if the time will appear." ”

He did not explain what was planned.

He doesn't like to say that he is not sure and that he is not sure about it, which is why he did not mention his plan at the military meeting. If Yang Jiani insists on getting to the bottom of it, although he will definitely not say it, he will feel troublesome and unhappy in his heart.

Yang Jiani just nodded, expressed her understanding, and did not ask any more.

This made Zhao Ning feel very comfortable.

An Siming, the defense envoy of Yanmen, walked with his henchman General Ma Face, who hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say to An Siming:

"Most of our troops are foot soldiers, and they make up half of the infantry of the great army. But in the first round of the attack on Blackstone Valley, there was not a single soldier of ours. What does the Governor mean by that?"

An Siming glanced at him: "What do you think it means?"

The horse-faced general said tentatively: "Afraid that we will steal the credit?"

An Siming sneered: "We have all been to see the Black Stone Valley Guancheng, which can be taken by one round of attack?"

The horse-faced general groaned slightly, "The Grand Governor is protecting our troops?"

An Siming said lightly: "The first attack will indeed have a lot of losses, but its progress is also related to the morale of the army, and of course the governor must use people he understands." ”

The horse-faced general didn't know what to say.

An Simin sighed, "The Grand Governor is fair, you have to remember that. ”

General Ma Yan immediately answered: "If the casualties of the Yanmen Army Headquarters are too large, this will undoubtedly be good news for us......

"Shut up!"

An Siming suddenly lowered his face, scolded sharply, quickly glanced left and right, and warned viciously: "If you dare to say such a thing again, watch out for your head!"

The horse-faced general was silent.

An Siming softened his tone, "When the war is over, we must observe it carefully, and we must know all the details well, and we will report to Your Majesty after the war." ”

"Yes!"

In the stable of the Yizi camp, Feng Niu'er was still working the shabu-shabu, he was focused and serious, and he was meticulous, as if he was not shabu-shabu, but bathing his beloved girl.

Sweat had already soaked through his clothes, but he was immersed in the errand, but he suddenly didn't realize it, as if for him at this moment, no matter how big the world was, it had nothing to do with him, and only shabu was left in his world.

Finally finished his work, poured out the last bucket of dirty water, and with the pleasant snort of the war horse, he sat down on the haystack in front of the stable, let out a few long breaths, and began to rest relaxed.

There were no trained soldiers in the camp, Feng Niu'er's gaze fell on the tall soldiers, his eyes were very bright, full of admiration.

If one day, he can also put on bright armor, wear a sharp horizontal sword, hold a precious horse lance, and gallop on a war horse to kill the enemy, what a majesty and how happy it would be.

Thinking about it, a heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

However, it didn't take long for this smile to dim, it is not easy to be a cavalryman, not to mention anything else, the art of riding and archery is not something that can be practiced in a short time.

He is just a military servant, and his daily work is to take care of the war horses, and before he came to the Yanmen Army, he was just a little mud leg in the countryside, he didn't know martial arts, he didn't know soldiers, and he couldn't recognize a few big characters.

A person like him can be said to have no ability at all, not to mention getting ahead in the army, even if he becomes a cavalryman, it is an unattainable dream.

Before Yan Ping came to Yanmen, he also told his relatives and sister-in-law that when he killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions and had a prominent status, he would definitely give them a good life and take good care of them. Now, it seems, is more just the fearlessness of the ignorant.

Just when Feng Niu'er was frustrated and couldn't help but miss his relatives, Zhao Xin walked over, waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to salute, sat down next to him, handed him a meatloaf, and said with a smile:

"Look at your sad face, what's the matter, homesick?"

Feng Niu'er took the meatloaf and said embarrassedly: "A little." ”

Zhao Xin hummed and expressed understanding. He likes Feng Niu'er very much, after all, the other party is very serious, hard-working, honest, and a young man who takes care of the war horse best.

There were no more greetings, and Zhao Xin asked directly: "Do you want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions?"

Feng Niu'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly: "Can I become a warrior?!"

Zhao Ning patted him on the shoulder, calmed him down, and said with a solemn face:

"Now that the big war is imminent, it is the time to employ people in the army, and you are also a cultivator of the Forging Body Realm, although it is difficult to become a cavalry in a short period of time, it is more than enough to be a foot soldier.

"I can remove you from being a military servant and give you a chance to serve in the army. But you must know that there are no eyes in the battle array, and we do not recognize people, and our enemy is very strong, and the vanguard fights, and the casualties are nearly half.

"When you really get to the front of the army, the military order points out, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, you must move forward bravely, even if your companions are killed and wounded, you have to fight endlessly, life and death...... It's just an idle ear.

"Do you really want to be a warrior? Do you really have the courage to be a warrior?"

The words fell on Feng Niu'er's ears, and the words hit his heart. He thought of the remains of his comrades who had been collected by the army, of those unrecognizable masters, of his relatives who still needed to be taken care of by himself, and of the sisters who were waiting for him to go back.

On the battlefield, which dead soldier has no family and friends? No life story, joys and sorrows? No father who wants them to go back to be reunited? If he really dies, what will happen to his sister and relatives?

Zhao Xin saw that Feng Niu'er was stunned, and he didn't urge, he stood up and prepared to leave, "Give you half a day to think, if you are willing to become a pawn, come to me at sunset." ”

As soon as he took a step, Feng Niu'er stood up and said loudly in a firm tone: "General Zhao! I am willing to become a soldier of the Yanmen Army, please fulfill the general!"

Zhao Xin turned around, looked at Feng Niu'er who was clasping his fists and saluting, and asked, "Why?"

Feng Niu'er gritted her teeth, "I can't be a military servant for the rest of my life, I have to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"

Zhao Xin was noncommittal to Feng Niu'er's words, but he agreed to the other party's request, "Okay, then follow me, and I will arrange for you to go to the infantry camp." ”
