Chapter 261: A stroke of genius

The imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, a secret training base in the suburbs.

It was originally a farm, with tens of thousands of acres of fields and dozens of houses, but it was taken over by the prince's men three months ago.

It was here that Dai Jingwei was trained, and then became a flying wing pilot.

At the back of the house there was a pond on which floated several awning boats, with wooden poles attached to one side of the hull, leading to the shore, and the men on the shore pulled the wooden poles, and the boats swayed from side to side, increasing in amplitude, and the water rippled in circles.

There were several martial artists sitting in each boat, mainly middle-aged people, and most of them were in the Enlightenment Realm and the Gathering Divine Realm.

One of them was Yin Falcon, sitting in the cabin, his hands folded on his chest, his eyes closed and a relaxed expression.

The boat shook for three full hours, and a man who looked like a eunuch came to the shore and said loudly: "Generals, you have passed the final examination and can go ashore to accept the mission." ”

The crowd stepped out of the cabin and flew ashore.

Yin Falcon was the last to land, and the eunuch said to them: "First of all, I want to congratulate all the generals, this is the end of more than three months of secret training. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and someone asked: "What is the purpose of training for so long?"

They don't know how many times they have asked the same question, and each time the answer is no comment, although everyone is used to it, they still can't help but want to ask, no one has hope for the result.

The eunuch raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty has an order, Feng Yin Falcon is the general of Fubo, and he will lead an army of 50,000 to Nanshan to participate in the battle, and the rest of them will be appointed as deputy generals, partial generals, school captains and other positions, and there will be no mistake in taking office immediately." ”

What the?

Everyone's eyes widened, participating in the Nanshan operation, 50,000 troops?

Although Yin Falcon had already prepared in his heart, he was also surprised, as a general of a small vassal state, and he was dismissed from the military because of a mistake, why did he attract the attention of the emperor and the crown prince?

These people who were trained with him were all from the elite units of the Han army, whether it was in terms of martial arts level or personal ability, they were all under him, why were they named the main generals, they could only serve as deputy generals and partial generals?

The eunuch said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have specially explained that this expedition is of great significance, in order to ensure that the news is not leaked, there will be no procedure for taking the stage to pay respects to the generals, you don't have a burden in your heart, just kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, you should feel lucky!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but get excited, and the two months of suffering were not in vain.

Yin Falcon clenched his fists: "The last general asks my father-in-law, where are our subordinates, and whether the baggage has been prepared, and what is the marching route?"

The eunuch smiled faintly, took out a secret letter from his right sleeve, handed it to him, and said, "General Yin, this is a comprehensive plan formulated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, you should take a good look at it." ”

With doubts, Yin Falcon took the secret letter, opened it and stared at it directly, and exclaimed: "...... at sea"

"Shhhhh

Yin Falcon took a few deep breaths one after another, and said solemnly: "Please tell Your Highness that the last general will not let him down, and he will personally lead the army to take the City of the King of Thieves!"

The eunuch smiled: "This is very good, the generals will go on the road now, you don't have to pack your luggage, the carriage has been prepared for you outside, and all the necessary things are available." ”

......

It was the middle of March, the warm flowers were blooming, and the Nanshan area was sunny for more than a month, the temperature continued to rise, and the winter clothes had completely faded out of people's sight.

It has been 40 days since the Eastern Barbarians launched an attack on the southern front, the two sides of the war are in a state of stalemate, the Nanshan bandits are unable to recover the lost territory, the Southern Army and the barbarians cannot break through the defense line in front of them, and the war has entered a phase of stalemate.

In the Palace of the King of Thieves, the counselor group sent the latest battle damage statistics.

The face of the king of thieves was ugly, in just over a month, his side had a total of more than 100,000 killed and more than 50,000 seriously injured, even after being cured, he had no chance to go to the battlefield again, plus more than 40,000 people were captured, adding up to 200,000.

The total strength of Nanshan is 600,000, and 200,000 accounts for exactly one-third.

It is said that the casualties of the Han army were much smaller, less than 100,000 people. This is not the most important thing, you must know that more than 40,000 prisoners were captured on the side of the Nanshan bandits, and there were only a few dozen prisoners of the Han army, which could not be compared at all.

The faces of the three military divisions were not very good-looking, Chai Jiangtao got up and said: "Brother Wang, our losses are a little serious, mainly because of the big losses suffered at the beginning of the war, and the annihilation of the three military divisions, resulting in serious losses. But now the situation has improved, and in the stalemate stage, the losses of both sides are evenly divided, and we have stabilized our position, even if we drag the enemy to death. ”

"How do you drag it out?" Chen Muyang said very facelessly: "Isn't it that I am raising the morale of others and extinguishing my own prestige, relying on the hot summer? Not to mention that it will take more than a month to enter the summer, and at this time it is the Southern Army of the Han Dynasty and the Eastern Barbarian Army that are confronting us, and the hot weather will not have any effect on them, even if they wait until the rainy autumn, they will still be alive and well." ”

Chai Jiangtao said unconvinced: "Then we will counterattack, the defense line of Wangcheng is so strong, we can send an elite army to go around the enemy's flank and rear, launch a sneak attack on them, and then attack on the whole line, we will definitely be able to defeat them." ”

Zhuge Haotang shook his head: "The idea of the Fourth Army Division is too naΓ―ve, our side is attacked on three sides, and there are no extra troops to take on the task of sneak attack, even if we barely make up a team, what can we do, the Great Han Iron Eagle Army is wandering near the border line, why don't they go deep into the hinterland of Nanshan to participate in the battle? In order to wait for us to divide our troops, as long as we can't hold our breath, they will immediately kill and eat our patchwork army." ”

Chai Jiangtao was a little angry: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do we only have to wait for death as a choice?"

Chen Muyang sighed and said: "The battlefield is like a chess game, one wrong step and one wrong step, we made such a detailed plan before the war, and we couldn't use it at a critical time, otherwise, how could this situation occur." ”

The king of thieves waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about the past, let's talk about what to do now, we must find a way to turn the situation around, if we can't gain the upper hand before summer comes, the next battle will be more and more difficult to fight." There is some truth in Brother Wang's words just now, we can draw out a new force without moving the defense line of the royal city, even if it is only a slight harassment of the Han army, it is better than doing nothing. ”

He made a suggestion to transfer the last two rudders stationed in the east to the western front, 10,000 horses was not much, but if it was used well, it could also be useful.

Zhuge Haotang frowned, and Chen Muyang objected: "If you transfer them away, there will be no defenders in the east, what should I do if there is a military situation?"

The King of Thieves confidently said, "It's very simple, you only need to strengthen the number of defenders at the east gate of the royal city. Besides, it is unlikely that the Han army will come around from the east, and it is easy to be exposed if there are more people, and it will not work if there are fewer people. ”

Chen Muyang thought for a while and said: "I still suggest being careful, it is better to transfer the Yongwei rudder, leave Yuan Xingbang's white horse rudder, at least leave a little troops, first of all, to be prepared, and secondly, to deter the Han army, they see that we have deployed troops in the east, so they don't dare to fight the idea of that side." ”

Zhuge Haotang reconsidered: "What the Second Army Division said makes sense, and I also think that at least one rudder will be left." ”

The king of thieves agreed: "Okay, then transfer the Yongwei rudder and leave the white horse rudder, and then draw a rudder from the western front and join forces to attack the Han army." ”

Chai Jiangtao also agreed, because this was originally the strategy he proposed.

Back at home, Chen Muyang went directly to Ye Yunyang's courtyard and told him the situation in detail.

After listening, Ye Yunyang said with a smile: "From the beginning of the war to the present, this is the most correct choice made by the king of thieves, don't underestimate these 10,000 people, if you use it well, it is likely to turn the tide of the war." ”

Chen Muyang nodded and said: "I have always attached great importance to it, should we send someone to send the news out immediately, so that our army can prepare so as not to suffer losses." ”

Ye Yunyang shook his head: "I think it's better to leave it to the Han army commander to deal with it, tell him everything, over time, it will make him rely on intelligence, and then lose his ability to judge independently." The battlefield is changing rapidly, any situation can happen, you and I cannot achieve remote control of the overall situation, the most important thing is that the commanders of the three armed forces can adapt to the situation. Don't worry, it's only 10,000 people, and it's a harassment mission, so it won't cause much damage to us in the early stage. ”

Chen Muyang thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I'll listen to you, anyway, I have access to the core secrets, no matter what happens, I can deal with it in time, and I will put the treasure on our main general in the early stage." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled: "Master, the apprentice has a question, why do you suggest that the white horse rudder stay on the Eastern Front?"

"Because I find that when you look at a map, your eyes always stay on the east side. Chen Muyang gave an explanation: "If I'm not mistaken, the key point of this battle is in the east, right?"

Ye Yunyang gave a thumbs up, and had to admit that Jiang was still old and spicy, and before the war started, he had already reached an agreement with Emperor Liu Qi, and decided to use an elite army to penetrate the thief king city from the east, and take down the enemy's nest with lightning speed, and completely solve the problem in one battle.

Chen Muyang noticed this, leaving Yuan Xingbang's white horse rudder was a clever move, first of all, dispelled the concerns of the king of thieves, even if the war was in full swing, he would not think that there was a problem in the east, but felt that there were soldiers stationed there, and there would definitely be no accident.

Secondly, leaving the white horse rudder, the king of thieves will not enhance the defense specifications of the east gate of the royal city, reducing the difficulty of attacking the city in the future.

In the end, Yuan Xingbang is his own person, and he has already installed all his cronies - into the white horse rudder, and when the Han army appears on the eastern front, not only will he not report to the thief city, but also with his familiarity with the terrain and roads, he will act as a pioneer for the Han army, and kill the city as quickly as possible.

Ye Yunyang said sincerely: "When the Han army takes the City of Thieves, I will definitely ask the emperor to show credit for the teacher, and leaving Yuan Xingbang behind is simply a stroke of genius." ”

Chen Muyang smiled modestly: "A little thing is not enough to worry about." ”
