Chapter 199: Pre-War Preparations

The news that the imperial court sent troops to the west showed the world, and the 300,000 troops marched to Luoyang City.

There were even no less than 100 soldiers of the new army who submitted their resignations, but this did not shake the military spirit and foundation of the winning army, and the white tiger unreservedly stated to the soldiers the reason for this battle with the imperial court.

After indicating the stakes, most of the old generals of the winner army vaguely understood that this battle between them and the imperial court seemed inevitable, perhaps from the day when the general of Zhenxi won without suffering and was persecuted and died.

It laid the groundwork for the final battle between them and the imperial court 16 years later, and all the generals and colonels of the old department of the winner army showed their hearts to the white tiger without exception after learning about Ling Cang's background.

No matter how heavy the price is, he must protect his only son in this world for the patron saint of the tiger prison and for their benefactor.

Whether it is the new army or the old department, the White Tiger pursues the principle of stating the reasons and making their own choices, and the White Tiger also gives the most benevolent and tolerant treatment to the soldiers who are still unwilling to participate in the battle after expressing their relationship.

………

He sent off all the soldiers who had handed in their resignation from the army, and gave them three months' military salary as a settling-in allowance.

He showed the people that the battle between the winner army and the court was a last resort, and promised the people that no matter how successful or unsuccessful the winner army was, they would not be bullied and persecuted.

If they win, they will continue to defend the territory as before, and keep the people of this city at peace, and if they are defeated, there will be other armies stationed in the Tiger Prison City to protect their integrity.

Although the people of Tiger Prison do not understand too much righteousness, and they can't distinguish such a complex loyalty, treachery, good and evil in the world, but the people know in their hearts,

The winner army is the one who really thinks about them, and the people also know that the peaceful life of the Tiger Prison for these years is the blood and sacrifice of the winner army.

It is no exaggeration to say that for the people living on this war-torn frontier, the prestige of the Winner Army itself surpassed that of the imperial court, so after the White Tiger pacified and promised, the panic of the people quickly subsided.

…………

The war is about to start tomorrow, and in the Tiger Prison Pass General Soldier's Mansion, Tie Lin and a group of winning generals led by Wu Shigui gathered here, and Ling Cang was also among them.

The white tiger sat on the top of the main hall, making final arrangements for the upcoming war, 300,000 troops are coming to the city, and the enemy will definitely choose to attack on three sides in the case of absolute superiority in troops.

The east gate is facing the eastern capital of Luoyang, outside the city is an endless open land, the enemy soldiers will be directly attacked at the east gate under the city, the east gate must be the main attack point of the enemy, the white tiger has nothing to do but need to sit in person,

The periphery of the north gate is mountainous, and it is difficult for the army to arrange troops, but the prince will definitely send troops to feint, but the winner army has a favorable location, and the pressure to defend the city will not be too great, so the task of guarding the north gate is handed over to the new army.

Baihu's face was solemn, and he looked at Wu Shigui and the new army generals behind him to make the final arrangements,

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the enemy is outnumbered, the prince will definitely send troops to constantly harass the north gate in turn, but you occupy a unique geographical advantage, just defend the city immediately, remember, no matter how the enemy will call the battle, do not go out of the city to fight, let alone pursue the poor Kou, so as not to fall into the enemy's plan to lure the enemy deeper."

The white tiger stood solemnly, looking at the group of new army generals and said earnestly,

"Subordinates respect the generals",

The generals and colonels of the new army responded in unison,

The white tiger bowed his head, and then looked at several old generals,

"The south gate is not blocked by the terrain of mountains and rivers, but the city tower is the highest and strongest one, the prince should divide a part of his forces to attack the city, the infantry is not enough to pose a threat to the south gate, but you must embankment the enemy's siege weapons, give full play to the advantages of the exercises, and find an opportunity to destroy the enemy's siege equipment, and the attack of the south gate will be self-defeating."

The white tiger solemnly explained, as the white tiger said, the south gate of the tiger prison is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the only thing that can cause damage to the winning army is the sophisticated siege equipment of the southern Xinjiang army.

But...... The siege equipment was extremely lethal to the soldiers, but it was difficult to cause substantial damage to the cultivators who were cultivating, so he arranged all the commanders of himself and nearly two-thirds of the generals under Guan Bao to guard the south gate.

Take advantage of the cultivators to deal with the enemy's siege weapons,

"Subordinates respect the generals",

The generals of the old department responded in unison,

The white tiger looked solemn, and after explaining a series of matters, he ordered in a deep voice to everyone,

"All of you go and prepare, although the enemy army is menacing, as long as we share the same hatred and make the same arrangement, the imperial court will not even think of stepping into the gate of my tiger prison even if there are more troops."

Everyone clasped their fists and took orders, and then left the hall to arrange and dispatch their respective military affairs.

At this moment, there were only the White Tiger, Tie Lin, and Ling Cang on the main hall, Ling Cang's face was solemn, his expression was in a trance, and he looked worried, and the White Tiger had already noticed the latter's abnormal behavior.

After arranging tomorrow's defense matters, he looked at the latter and asked with great concern,

"Win the position, how do you look preoccupied, is it so difficult that you are worried that we will not be able to hold the tiger prison",

Ling Cang shook his head, and after a moment, he looked at the latter with a solemn face and said,

"Uncle White Tiger, why don't you ...... Tomorrow's battle you still don't want to fight with the court",

Ling Cang spoke with difficulty, his face was full of entanglement and pain, he changed his words to call Bai Hu and Tie Lin and the three Guan Bao who died in battle uncles, because he knew that these people were all brothers who were born and died together with his father.

is also one of the few people in this world who sincerely helps and protects him, so in Ling Cang's heart, he has already regarded the White Tiger Tielin Guan Leopard as his elder.

Ling Cang suddenly spoke, asking the White Tiger to give up the war between the court tomorrow, and the two of them were stunned when they heard this, Tie Lin's face was full of puzzlement, and he looked at the latter subconsciously said,

"Win Cang, what do you mean by this, the prince's vanguard will be in the city tomorrow, doesn't it mean that there will be no resistance if this battle is not fought tomorrow?"

Tie Lin was puzzled, and looked at Ling Cang for some reason and asked,

The latter looked in a trance, and couldn't say what he wanted to say when he heard the words, and finally just sighed,

Tie Lin looked anxious,

"Hey, you kid, say whatever you want, hide it with us",

Even the white tiger was stunned for a few seconds, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at Ling Cang and said in a slightly surprised voice,

"Yes, Win, we are all your father's brothers, and his children are also our children, if you have anything to say, just ask",
