The battle for the defense of Shangjing has reached a stalemate, and both sides have no better way to defeat each other, although Cheng Mingci's father and daughter decided to move the capital to Nanjing, but Cheng Xiuyi and many military generals agreed that a decisive battle should be held in Shangjing with the beast demon coalition army, the purpose of this decisive battle is to severely damage the opponent to ensure that the people and wealth transferred in Shangjing can not be pursued and harassed by the coalition forces in the process of evacuation, and Cheng Xiuyi also believes that the Xia Yuan Empire was chased and fought by the beast demon coalition in this war There is a very important reason is that the Xia Yuan Empire, which has been established for more than 2,000 years, has a big problem in national policy, and the problem lies in the emphasis on literature and suppression of martial artsThis national policy brought more than 2,000 years of peace to Xia Yuan, which is unique in the history of the entire Zhongzhou continent, and there was no problem with this national policy when Xia Yuan first founded the country, because whether it was Cheng Tianjie, the founding emperor of the empire, or those civil and military generals who surrounded him at that time, each of them was a great hero, and so many outstanding talents were around the founding emperor, so the empire was prosperous and prosperous, and this national policy was not formulated by Cheng Tianjie when the country was founded, but was formulated by Cheng Chuyang, the founding king of the country, when the Xia Yuan Kingdom was just founded, and the national policy at that time was not to suppress the military but to unify the military with literatureThe meaning of these two words is almost the same on the big picture, but the meaning is too far away when you study it deeply, and the emphasis on literature and suppression of military force is to elevate the status of civil officials and literati in the empire and belittle the status of military generals and warriors in the empire, Xia Yuan folk have such a saying, "Everything is inferior, only reading is high", that is, no social profession is as noble as a scholar, but is this the case? Obviously, this sentence is open to discussion.

You must know that in the history of Xia Yuan, there are many senior generals of the empire who are civilian officials, and Xia Yuan attached great importance to military merit in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and at that time, the martial arts were at their peak, scholars and swords abounded, and the civil and military affairs were the yearning of the Xia Yuan Empire's readers, and the founding emperor Cheng Chuyang although he was born in the army, but can write a very beautiful rhyme book, Xia Yuan also called it cloud book, this kind of calligraphy is like the clouds in the sky as elegant and free, and poetry and song are proficient, he has a widely spread seven laws called "Yujiang Mountain" poem is written like this, the desert wind and sand lead the monarch, the prancing horse Jin Ge laughing at the demon. The most important thing in his life, Wenchen will work together with me, and when the world is evaluated, I and Qing will laugh at the emperor's dynasty. It can be seen from this poem that this is a king-minded and open-minded, so he fully considered the psychological feelings of the civil and military generals when formulating the national policy of unifying the military with literature, but in the years to come, especially when the Xia Yuan Kingdom unified the Zhongzhou continent and became the Xia Yuan Empire, the national policy of unifying the military with literature became the emphasis on literature and suppressing the military, and the time to formulate this national policy was too long, and after the unification of the empire, Xia Yuan has always relied on, and this reliance is those saint-level powerhouses, but now these saint-level powerhouses have all been closed, Xia Yuan suddenly lost his reliance, and because of the national policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, the martial artists did not have any status in the society of the entire Xia Yuan Empire, so many young people were unwilling to practice martial arts to exercise their will and character, so when the danger came, many people chose to flee, which also illuminated why the beast and demon alliance started from Yingchou Pass all the way to the top of the capital, so Cheng Xiuyi planned to change this national policy, and how difficult it is to change a country's national policy, especially the national policy that has been implemented for more than 2,000 years, because it will destroy the vested interests of many people, but Cheng Xiuyi feels that it must be reformed, if it is not reformed, then the empire will eventually perish。

So how to change this national policy, then it is necessary to improve the status of the warriors in the country, how to improve the status of the warriors, and use a victory to prove that when the country is in danger, it must and can only be the warriors to defend the country.

So Cheng Xiuyi began to gather all the warriors of the empire to formulate a plan, this plan is to use the existing forces in his hands to fight a decisive battle with the beast demon alliance in a controllable battlefield, the beast demon alliance has besieged Shangjing for more than a month, in the first half of the beast demon alliance has just come to Shangjing has sent a large number of people and wealth to the south, but in the recent beast demon continuous increase in the city has not dared to transport personnel and materials outside, although now the coalition army has not completely surrounded the capital, but there are only two city gates facing the south of Annan Gate and Hongchang Gate, and Cheng Xiuyi analyzed that this is the beast demon used to encircle the three missing one of the planShe believed that there must be a large army of beast demons in ambush not far from these two city gates, and once they found out that the city was transporting supplies, they would definitely devour those supplies and personnel like hungry wolves.

When the military generals led by Zuo Zai and Gao Chong came to the city tower, Cheng Xiuyi was still looking at the city defense map of the capital city, and pondered deeply, Gao Chong and the others stood behind Cheng Xiuyi with light steps, and stood respectfully behind Cheng Xiuyi, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out for fear of disturbing the train of thought of the young and beautiful eldest princess of the prison country.

It turned out that everyone thought that Cheng Xiuyi was just a young and beautiful half-elf, at most because of the relationship between her parents, she had a few magic weapons, but after so many days of getting along, they found that Cheng Xiuyi had a resolute personality, judged the situation, and was familiar with military books and battle strategies, although it was the first time to go to the battlefield, but there was no discomfort at all for the first time when a recruit went to the battlefield, in addition to carrying three powerful magic weapons, his own magic cultivation was also very powerful, otherwise it would be difficult to control three magic weapons at the same time at the level of the swordsman, so many days, if she hadn't used the three magic weapons many times, the outer city of the capital might have been breached, coupled with more than 30 days of sleepless patrols of the city defense, although the system of the half-elves is much better than the system of humans, but more than 30 days without even sleeping, and still thinking about who the counteroffensive plan put on can't stand it, for this reason, these generals are invisibly around Cheng Xiuyi's side, because compared to Wenchen, the generals believe in the comrades-in-arms who charge together, although Cheng Xiuyi did not charge with them, but they have been fighting together for more than 30 days.

At this moment, Cheng Xiuyi beckoned everyone to come over, in fact, Cheng Xiuyi discovered them when they walked this way, as a half-elf, deaf and clear eyes are the basic skills, because the body structure of elves is very different from humans, they can hear the sound of a fly's wings vibrating from a thousand meters away, and their eyesight can see things two kilometers away, otherwise, why is the elf race rich in powerful archers and terrifying assassins, if you don't have good eyesight and hearing, it's impossible。

When the generals gathered around Cheng Xiuyi, Cheng Xiuyi pointed to the map and said: Now we are basically surrounded by the beast and demon alliance, but due to the limited strength of our troops and the quality of the soldiers, we have no way to have a decisive battle with the other party under normal circumstances, so I have an immature idea for Lord Gao and the generals to refer to in detail.

The reason why Cheng Xiuyi was able to win the respect of these generals in such a short period of time is that in addition to the advantages mentioned above, there is also a very important point, that is, Cheng Xiuyi never oppresses people with her own identity, but respects everyone's opinions very much, but she has her own opinions and principles, which makes everyone feel very comfortable with the eldest princess, so everyone is estranged from the eldest princess to slowly get closer.

Cheng Xiuyi continued: Under normal circumstances, if we have a decisive battle with the opponent, we have no chance of winning, but please see, now the beast demon coalition army has surrounded our fourteen city gates, and there are still two city gates facing due south, I think this is the beast demon using the strategy of encircling three and missing one, so our opportunity is here, we disguise the soldiers as ordinary people, hide weapons in the luggage, hide the inner armor in the clothes, and then in the rear of this team, we let the magicians use spells to hide the large army, When the enemy appears to surround this team, our large army will surround the opponent by surprise, attack him unprepared, and eat this team first.

At this time, a young general next to Gao Chong bowed and saluted and said: Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the young general thinks that there are several points that we need to pay attention to in order to implement this strategy, the first point is that the team that goes out of the city to disguise must be elite, and must be able to resist the siege of the opponent, because when the opponent finds himself surrounded, he will definitely resist to the death, then our surrounded brothers must withstand the opponent's crazy attack, and we don't know how many hidden troops the opponent has, and our troops must be at least four times more than the opponent's troops to be able to implement the encirclement and annihilation plan, and the other point is our warlock troopsDue to their limited capabilities, whether they can hide our large forces well, and once our side fights, the beast demon troops will inevitably come to support, so whether our troops can resist the opponent's attack, and how our team out of the city can withdraw into the city all need to be considered.

Cheng Xiuyi looked at the young general, and then Gao Chong said: Your Royal Highness the princess This is the third son of Weichen, a single name is a masterpiece and a character Boyang, and the official is Lieutenant Bailang.

Cheng Xiuyi smiled and nodded and said: I have taken into account what Gao Gongzi said, first of all, I will personally investigate the number of enemies, and although our warlock troops have limited strength, they still have the ability to attract wind and fog, and you also say that the troops out of the city will be led by me personally, and the troops that defend and cooperate hope that you will cooperate with you.

After Cheng Xiuyi finished speaking, Gao Chong first objected: Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, you are now the commander of the capital, how can you let you do the matter of going out of the city to spy on the military situation, this is too dangerous, as for serving as the commander of the decoy force, it cannot be served by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, or by Weichen.

At this time, all the generals also dissuaded one after another, but Cheng Xiuyi waved his hand and said: At present, who else in the entire Shangjing City can be more suitable than me to spy on the military situation? As for serving as the commander of the decoy force, it is actually not dangerous, because the more resolutely you fight, the safer it is on my side, and having me as the commander will make the soldiers more confident, so you don't have to argue about this matter, and the matter is settled.
