In the long yellow sand, a camel and a man are ridden.

The woman on the hump suddenly stretched out her hand, and her two fingers were in the air like arrows.

The fingers are formless and colorless, and the only strange fluctuations can only be perceived by one's own soul.

It was a wisp of thought.

After reading it, that wisp of divine thought was recycled by the master.

“…… Scold! ”

Xiao chuckled suddenly, raised his eyebrows, his streamer-like eyes looked at the endless canopy above the desert, his eyes were sparkling, like the water waves in the long river of years, and the warm jade-like palm stroked the hump, and he laughed lightly, his lips moved, but his voice was inaudible, only the sound of the camel bell, crisp and long.

Interesting, interesting.

……

The military camp and the desert yellow sand, thousands of miles apart, were connected by two divine thoughts out of an invisible passage, just like light shuttling in the deep universe, silent, and instantaneous.

Xiao Yan's heart was calm, she sat with her eyes and nose, her father glared at her, and she immediately replied with a smiling face, her eyes were dark and wet, which reminded Xiao Yan of the whisk dog she raised when she was a child, coquettish and well-behaved, and no longer had a temper, she only pretended to be annoyed and raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Liang and Xiao Chi communicated for two quarters of an hour, then stood for a moment, turned back to Xiao Huan, who looked concerned, and said: "Second sister said that this road is extremely dangerous, but Yu Ayan is the only way to go. ”

Xiao Yu looked stunned.

Xiao Yan also revealed, "Huh? looks.

Xiao Liang's voice paused, and his gaze swept over Xiao Yan, "The second sister said that Mozun named Ah Yan 'Wu Nian' back then, not for nothing. ”

Of course, Mozun's name is not for nothing.

Xiao Yu was angry that Mo Zun let his daughter miss him as a father, of course, he later understood that Mo Zun did not mean this, otherwise he would not have raised Ah Yan to be so affectionate - but this thoughtlessness, is it from thinking to nothing: first affectionate and then ruthless? Or is it the first thought of nothing: ruthlessness is the most important and affection is supplemented? …… Xiao Yu couldn't figure it out in his heart.

Xiao Yan's expression was also stunned.

Thoughtless......

Is it to have no thoughts...... Is it ruthless?

No!

Xiao Yan thought of the "Wu Nian" knife technique left by his mother's lettering, and remembered the wordless knife method he comprehended, and muttered: "It should be Wu Nian." ”

Nothing coexists, ruthlessness and affection coexist.

…… Did my mother already think of her today?

Xiao Yan was happy for a while, and sad for a while.

……

"Yu Ayan, but it is the only way", Xiao Yu hovered this sentence in his heart, the meaning of the second uncle was already very clear, but Xiao Yu was still hesitating - what if the love is extreme but the love barrier cannot be broken? It was about the life and death calamity that his daughter would go through when she was promoted, and he couldn't help but be cautious, and even thought in a flash that if he couldn't break the emotional barrier, he would not be promoted for the rest of his life. However, this thought was only a moment away and then let go, not to mention the burden of the star's life, even Ah Yan himself would not give up martial arts - no matter how dangerous.

Xiao Yu's upright body sat in front of the black lacquer bookcase, as deep as a mountain, and the undulating lines of his face were like a mountain cliff, the head of the Xiao family and the commander of Hexi, who had always been decisive in killing and decisive, but at this moment he couldn't decisively say to his daughter, "Go ahead!" ”

Xiao Yan sensed his father's hesitation, and said thoughtfully: "Father, there is no hurry about this matter, let's wait until we take down Nami County." ”

Nami County was the next target of the Western Route Army.

Due to the ideological propaganda in the army based on the life and death comrades of Xiao Yan and Murong Jue, the morale of the Tang Army and the Oghuz Army was high, and the mood for war was high, and the commanders of the two armies believed that it was not appropriate to waste this kind of morale, and the Tang Army had also made up for the losses after the battle, and the combat strength of the reserve army also needed to be sharpened on the battlefield, so not only the Western Route Army, but also the Central Route Army and the Northern Route Army would also re-launch the offensive in the near future, continue to advance the fortress, and encroach on the target.

But Xiao Yu, as one of the commanders of the Tang Army's three routes, knew that this battle could not be completed in a short period of time, because the secret military order given to him and Murong Zhao by Li Chongyi was to lure the mage regiment away!

Li Chongyi said that the Yan-Ou coalition army will not easily give up the tactics of gathering and annihilating, but the tactics are more cautious and the layout is more thorough: with the wind element of the Euroton mage as a long-range exploration eye, it is difficult for the Tang army's marching route to hide from the Yan-Europe coalition army, and this is the confidence of Yu Wenjian's continuous gathering and annihilation tactics; The most important thing is that with the situation of the remnants of the Yan and Zhou regimes, Yu Wenjian must adopt the tactics of gathering and annihilating, otherwise he will be dragged on the battlefield by the Tang-Ukrainian coalition army with cannibalization tactics, and he will be mired in a quagmire, consume logistics, and be swallowed up the entire northwest. From a strategic point of view, there is nothing wrong with Yu Wenjian's tactics of gathering and destroying.

And the enemy's correct tactics, if used properly, can in turn become an opportunity for their own side.

Li Chongyi proposed that if the Yan-Europe coalition army wants to fight a battle of gathering and annihilation, it is necessary to concentrate mages in order to form a long-range attack advantage over the Tang army, so Li Chongyi set a tactic: concentrate the general of the military cavalry and the sorcerers of the Oghuz army, and also fight a battle of gathering and annihilation - to eliminate the mage regiment of Euroton.

But there must be a premise, that is, the gathering and annihilation battle of the Yan-Ou coalition army is only aimed at the Tang army and not the Oghuz army, otherwise, the Tang army will transfer most of the magicians of the Oghuz army, and if the Yan-Ou coalition army launches a gathering and annihilation war against the Oghuz army, Li Chongyi's tactic is to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

However, Li Chongyi is sure that the main direction of attack of the Yan-Ou coalition army will be on the side of the Tang army, based on his own strategic vision and the analysis of the metropolitan staff department, there are four main factors:

First, there is no doubt that the strength of the Tang Army of the Tang and Wu Second Army is stronger; In addition, the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty is the strongest, if the Yanzhou Northwest fights a protracted war, not to mention that the Yuwenjian regime can't hold it, even the Euroton Empire, and it doesn't dare to say that dragging it in the northwest can support long-term operations, if the tactics of gathering and annihilating against the Oghuz army, even if the main force of the Oghuz army is eliminated, but the main force of the Tang army is still there, the Tang Dynasty will not stop fighting; Oghuz will also increase its troops in the country, and the Yan-Zhou War will continue.

Second, the Great Food Army has entered the eastern oasis of the Uzi Desert, and the war in the western border of the Anxi Protectorate will break out at any time, and the Tang Dynasty will face fighting against the two empires at the same time. If the Yan-Ou coalition army defeated the main force of the Tang army on the Yanzhou battlefield, this would definitely be a big blow to the situation of the Tang Dynasty's two-front operation.

If the Yanzhou Northwest War failed, it would be a great shock to the morale and popular sentiment of the Tang Army and even the Tang Empire, and of course the war on the Anxi Front would have a collateral impact, and the entire war situation in the Tang Dynasty would be unfavorable. On the contrary, if the Oghuz army is defeated, the impact will not be so great - for the Oghuz Khanate, which has been in the Tang War for two hundred years and has been invaded by the Tang army and almost faced the crisis of national destruction, even if the Yan Zhou Northwest War is lost and more than 100,000 people are lost, the shock is not as good as the Tang army killed more than 100,000 people - the iron-blooded female emperor of the Oghuz Khanate is likely to issue a national conscription order and continue to increase troops to continue the Yan Zhou War.

Third, the Tang army has few magicians, as long as it can hold off the Tang army's artillery and crossbow battalions, the Yan-Ou coalition army can form a long-range strike advantage with the mage regiment; This trick will not work against the Oghuz army, which has the same number of magicians.

There is also an important fourth point, that is, the analysis of the tactical preferences and personalities of the three commanders of the Yan-Ou coalition army - Yu Wenjian, Paviv, and Felder, from the information handed down by the Privy Council Metropolitan Staff Division, it can be seen that these three are strong inside and outside or tough inside, if they are classified among the generals, they belong to the offensive coach, such a commander, will not pick a "soft pestle" because of cowardice, as long as Yu Wenjian, Pavoff, and Felder have an accurate analysis of the current situation, they will definitely take the defeat of the Tang Army as the primary goal, Instead of aiming at the Oghuz army on the weaker side.

Li Chongyi's analysis Xiao Yu agreed, the speed of the artillery battalion was the only weakness of the Tang army—this weakness was particularly prominent when the other side had a "mobile battery" such as the mage regiment, and if the Tang army wanted to win in the northwest, it must defeat or contain Euroton's mage regiment. The tactics adopted by the Yan-Ou coalition army also gave Li Chongyi the opportunity to gather and annihilate the mage group. However, both sides must be cautious in this kind of strategy and counter-calculation, and after many attempts and lure the enemy, there will be countless "encounters" and "guerrilla warfare" during this period, and it will be possible to create a "battlefield of gathering and annihilation" in which both sides believe that they have seized the opportunity.

Nami County is the second largest county in Tairu Prefecture after the first county town, and the Western Route Army will directly threaten the first county town if it captures Nami County. To the south of the county seat of Nami is the Nami River, which is now in the freezing period, and the Western Route Army must cross the river if it wants to take the county seat - the wide ice surface is a good place for mages to cast spells, and if it works well, maybe tens of thousands of Tang troops will be buried in the sudden collapse of the glacier.

Xiao Yu groaned in his heart, Nami County may become one of the locations chosen by the Yan-Ou coalition army to gather and annihilate the battle, but it has not yet been determined, if it really happens, it will be a big battle.

But Xiao Yan's current situation ...... I'm afraid it's not fit to fight anymore.

He looked at Xiao Liang with a solemn gaze and asked, "Seventh Uncle Ancestor, if Ah Yan's seal encounters a Grandmaster battle, will it have any impact?" ”

Xiao Liang said: "The seal of the Young God Division is still very stable, but if Ah Yan has a few fierce battles with the Grandmaster of the Great Perfection of the Cave True Realm, it will still have an impact on the seal. ”

Xiao Yan's cultivation is already on the verge of breaking through the critical point, and now he is imprisoned by the innate true yuan of the Young God Division, but Xiao Yan has always been able to comprehend it in battle, in case he breaks through the true yuan under comprehension and breaks through on the battlefield, then it will be a lot of fun - Xiao Liang thought about that scene and his heart sank, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Grandmaster war, Ah Yan better avoid it." ”

Xiao Yan: "Huh? "With a dumb face, what is she doing on the battlefield, watching her comrades fight?" …… I'm going to escort the baggage? - Escort artillery battalions? After a while, she thought of a logistics escort task for herself.

Xiao Yu snorted, "You are safe as an artillery battalion, that is the focus of the Yanou army's guerrilla attack." ”

Xiao Yan sighed, raised his hand and patted his forehead, "I've become porcelain, fragile products, I have to protect them." ”

Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang were both happy, Xiao Yu said angrily: "You just know." ”

Xiao Yan smiled at his father, "Then I'll follow the fourth brother." Learn from your brother. "By the way, protect the fourth brother.

Xiao Yu was noncommittal, and only asked her to go back first. At night, Liang Guogong tossed and turned, simply got up in his clothes, paced up and down in the bed, for a long time, sighed, hesitated in his deep eyes, and his face was sharply carved, revealing decisiveness.

…… This is Ayan's path.

She had to walk over after all.
