Chapter Seventy-Four: Sophistry

The demon cavalry running with all their strength was like a terrifying beast.

This monster beyond the imagination of mortals is like a black thunder crawling on the ground, sweeping across the earth with a terrifying sound, stretching its body irregularly, leaving shocking scars in its passing.

Yuan Chi didn't strictly follow the art of war like Xiang Wu, he wasn't unaware of the benefits of doing so, he just preferred to act according to the traditions of the demon clan.

The cavalry of the demon clan is actually different from all the cavalry that Xiang Wu knows, and the most important point is that their logistics rarely rely on transportation capacity.

For the traditional cavalry that Xiang Wu was familiar with, marching on a war horse was an unimaginable luxury, but for the demons, it was just an ordinary daily routine.

The ponies from the Maelstrom with the demons are monsters that do not belong to this world, possess terrifying endurance and an enviable appetite, and together with the equally tireless demons, they form the only cavalry in the world that can march day and night.

Using this terrifying power to carry out a surprise attack is the most common tactic used by the demons, and it is also the plan of the Nine Emperor Princes. Tiger Pass has fallen, which means that the outsiders who originally came to the new world have been given the first foothold, whether they can get the location of the army from the mouths of the defenders, they would never have thought that this battle would come so early, and it is difficult to be as vigilant as when they first came to this strange world.

Although Yuan Chi never said it, his goal in his battle plan was not only to send the assassin into the maelstrom, but also to want a victory, a brilliant victory.

Such a desire carried the Nine Emperor Princes over a long journey, and now, his wait was over.

Tiger Pass is on the horizon.

Yuan Chi stopped the army.

The instinct of the demon clan and years of study made it clear to the Nine Emperor Princes that this was the most suitable distance.

If you go any further, you will enter the alert range of the invaders, and a little farther away, the cavalry charge will not be able to reach the Tiger Pass.

The long forced march exhausted this army, and they needed to rest. For the demons, one night is enough.

But Yuan Chi has other things to do.

The demon warriors took down their tents from their horses, drove the hungry horses around, and then began to light a fire.

The Nine Emperors made their way through the busy crowd and rode their horses that had not carried anything along the way, towards Huguan.

"The sooner you enter the Gate of Fallen Heaven, the less trouble we will face. ”

The swordsman quietly walked out of the crowd, he seemed to be there all along, but no one noticed him.

"Very few managers were personally scouts before the war. ”

Yuan Chi smiled, he knew it was a mockery: "I just need to find something to do, every time I wait for the war to start, it's torture." ”

The swordsman nodded, put on his hood, and said nothing more.

The two left the crowd and walked towards Huguan in the north.

......

Wang Baobao hadn't slept for a long time.

After the departure of the Nine Emperor Princes, Xiang Wu's plans began to change, and they worked day and night, mobilizing their armies, desperately repairing the missing link of the encirclement network.

"It's not enough," the Divine Monarch fiddled with his calculations with a dejected expression, and his voice was weak, "If you don't have enough troops, building a defense line there will only send people to death." ”

"Think of a way," the goshawk sat next to the Divine Monarch, who looked more tired than the Divine Monarch, "you always have a way." ”

"Do you think this is a group of nerds who are playing with Mo Yi and Confucianism?"

Xiang Wu suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Maybe it's really the same as how we deal with Confucianism......"

Shenjun was stunned for a moment.

"In the art of war, the leader is rarely encouraged to use trickery, because that violates the basic principles of the art of war," Xiang Wu still lowered his head, but his tone became inspired, "Only when the baggage is sufficient and complete, the military discipline is strict, the command is skillful, the command is clear, and the strong bully the weak can be invincible." ”

"What do you want to say?"

"But now we are weak, and if we want to defeat the strong with the weak, we can't win without surprises. ”

Shenjun casually threw the calculation chip in his hand and stood up with a smile: "That's a gamble, win and take all!"

"The siege is doomed to be incomplete, and there is nothing wrong with trickery and insurance. Goshawk sighed, "But don't gamble, nine out of ten bets, and one loss." ”

Wang Baobao stood up: "You have to rely on deception to win...... How, though?"

The three people in the big tent all looked at Xiang Wu, he raised his head and was silent for a while.

"What do our enemies need most?"

"Originally, it was supposed to be grain and grass," the Divine Monarch sighed, "but now the Tiger Pass ......"

"Even if they get the baggage of Huguan, they are still the most short of food and grass. Xiang Wu stood up, "A divine horse dragon horse that can charge with such heavy armor originally needs the best food and grass, not to mention a knight who can also carry heavy armor." ”

"That's right!"

Wang Baobao was originally a demon who was familiar with war horses, and he knew very well how much a war horse had to eat, and he spent a lot of time studying the armor sent by Jochi, and knew their owners very well. Because of this, Wang Baobao clearly knew that Xiang Wu must be right.

"The more powerful a person is, the more difficult it is to endure hunger, and the more explosive he is, the more difficult it is to maintain that kind of strength...... "Shenjun shook his head and sighed, "This is what Lao Tzu said that weakness is better than strength." ”

"I want to know how far they have left Tiger Pass, and they won't be able to maintain their full strength. Xiang Wu said and unfolded the map on the table, and Wang Baobao and the three of them surrounded him, "Originally, we were afraid that we would not be able to ensure the safety of the defense line if we were too far away, but now it seems that it is better to take a step back." ”

"There is nothing in the wilderness, and distance does not necessarily buy us time. ”

"So we need to do some arrangement. ”

"What arrangement?"

Xiang Wu looked at Shenjun and laughed: "Pretend to be a god." ”

......

Shen Zheng sent Mo Yi out of the main door, and then returned to the study.

He was very satisfied with his meeting with Mo Yi, who was far more powerful and decisive than all the Confucian people, and it was hard not to like him when a person had the same purpose as him.

"Are we really going to do what Moyi says?"

Yu Wen knew what the two of them said, and in his opinion, the conditions proposed by Mo Yi for the emperor were too harsh.

"Not only that," Shen Zheng knew that Yu Wen could definitely be trusted, and he didn't hide his thoughts at all, "I also want to help lower the conditions of the family a little more." ”

"Does it have to be like this?"

"We are making conditions for the emperor, and those who do so will hardly die well. ”
