April 19, early in the morning.

Northwest corner of Great Xia, border.

In order to deal with the invasion of the Desolate Ancient Emperor Dynasty, as early as eight days ago, Xia Ao had transferred the Chaos Legion here.

At this time, on this hundreds of miles of border, the two major armies of Chaos and Gluttony were gathered on the surface of Great Xia.

And secretly, Xia Ao also sent most of the elite of the forbidden army, including 40,000 Tiger Guards, 40,000 Niu Guards, and Yan Yun's 1008 Cavalry.

In addition, the Hanqi Legion, which was located in the territory of the former Qiyue Alliance, also dispatched two elite armies of 100,000 people each, namely the Golden Iron Cavalry under the command of Meng Tian and the Hussar Army under the command of Huo Quai.

In other words, Bactria had amassed nearly three million troops on this frontier.

Among these three million troops, the army of the essence alone has reached eleven, including the Iron Eagle Warriors, the Xuanjia Army, the Black Iron Army, the Xiaoguo Army, the Shence Army, the Yishan Army, the Golden Iron Cavalry, the Hussar Army, as well as the Tiger Guard Army, the Thousand Niu Guard, and the Yanyun Cavalry, and the total number of the Essence Army has reached 1.53 million!

Among the more than 1.5 million base troops, the number of soldiers in the Void Body Realm has also reached about 700,000.

If Great Xia's plan was successfully implemented, and the army sent by the Ancient Emperor Dynasty did not exceed two million, then the two sides would be comparable in terms of elite combat power in the Void Body Realm.

Of course, the overall cultivation of the soldiers of the Void Body Realm of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty must be much higher than that of Great Xia, but the combat power of the Essence Army is beyond its own cultivation, so the actual combat strength of the two sides should be equal.

Coupled with the fact that there are a number of powerful handsome and fierce generals, Xia Ao does not think that Great Xia has the possibility of defeat.

Of course, in order to prepare for other contingencies, such as the number of troops sent by the Asogu Emperor exceeded the plan, he also ordered the elite armies of other legions to be prepared to ensure that they could quickly dispatch support after receiving information.

……

At this moment, the commanders of the Zhongda battalion are gathering here.

On the innermost side, three figures will sit facing the crowd.

Among them, sitting in the middle is naturally Bai Qi, the coach of the Chaos Legion, sitting on the right side of Bai Qi is Yuwen Chengdu, the coach of the Gluttonous Legion, and sitting on the left side of Bai Qi is Meng Tian, the coach of the Han Qi Army.

Although the main force of the Hanqi Legion did not arrive this time, as one of the commanders of the five major legions, Meng Tian was naturally qualified to sit there.

"I have summoned you to discuss this time, and I think you have already guessed the reason."

"That's right, according to the reliable information from the four guards, the Ancient Emperor Dynasty has decided to send troops in an hour."

Bai Qi looked around at the energetic generals and said calmly.

"According to the military orders issued by the ancient army and the double confirmation of intelligence, they will dispatch a total of two million troops in three groups to take the lead in rushing to the border with our DPRK."

Hearing this, the expressions of the Great Xia generals were slightly relaxed, and they all showed some smiles on their faces.

"The arrangement of the Desolate Ancient Army is exactly in line with our intentions."

"Yes, in this way, the arrangement of the Haoyuan Dynasty can also be better planned, at least in a short time, we only need to deal with these two million enemy troops!"

"The Ancient Emperor Dynasty is arranging troops like this, could it be that he wants to attack the Emperor under the pretense of Dao and swallow up the Haoyuan Dynasty by the way?"

"It's not impossible, the Ancient Emperor Dynasty thinks very highly of itself, and the Haoyuan Dynasty is a soft persimmon that is not too tough, it is difficult to guarantee that this will not happen."

"If that's the case, we can achieve our goal without having to do it in the dark."

Bai Qi raised his hand to stop the generals' discussions.

"Whether the Ancient Emperor Dynasty really intends to attack the Haoyuan Dynasty, we don't need to pay attention, what we need to do now is to formulate a final strategy to defeat the invading enemy!"

Yuwen Chengdu and Meng Tian nodded in agreement, and hugged their fists towards Bai Qi.

"Bai Shuai, in such a large-scale legion battle, you have the strongest control, whether it is the grasp of the overall situation or the layout of the small battlefield, we can only learn."

"Therefore, please also ask the white marshal to take charge of the overall situation. Tell me, how are we going to play this battle? ”

In this handsome tent, almost all of them are famous generals and handsome, if it is others, they may not be convinced, but Bai Qi is not among them.

For Bai Qi, there is no one who is not respectful.

Therefore, for Yuwen Chengdu and Meng Tian's statements, the rest of the generals also nodded in agreement.

Bai Qi looked around at everyone and did not shirk.

"Well, Ben Shuai will put forward his own opinions first, and if there is anything inappropriate, I hope you will correct it."

"In terms of military strength, although our army has more than one million more than the enemy, the combat strength of ordinary officers and men of our army is not much different from that of the enemy. As a result, the advantages in this regard are relatively limited. ”

"After comprehensively considering the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, Ben Shuai came to the conclusion that our army has a certain advantage, but it is very small."

Speaking of this, Bai Qi paused for a moment, waiting for everyone's reaction.

In this regard, the generals did not object, and nodded their heads in agreement.

After all, the other party is an imperial dynasty, even if it only dispatches two million troops, with the current background of Great Xia, it still needs to mobilize nearly half of the elite to deal with it, which in itself speaks for itself.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Bai Qi continued to speak.

"Therefore, it is not advisable to fight head-to-head with drums and gongs against gongs, because in doing so, even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory."

"If the two main armies are disabled, and more than ten elite armies also suffer heavy losses, it will put our Great Xia in danger, and the evil wolves on all sides will be eyeing and ready to move."

"In addition, Your Majesty also has a decree, ordering us to defeat the Ancient Army cleanly with a big advantage, and use this battle to completely deter other forces, so that the strong enemies of the Quartet dare not covet it!"

"Therefore, Ben Shuai believes that when you take the initiative to pay part of the price, you can win by skill!"

When they heard "take the initiative to pay part of the price", the generals were startled, and their brows couldn't help frowning.

Because this phrase is very reminiscent of abandoning part of the army and sacrificing it as a decoy for certain death.

The Great Xia army has gone through countless battles, but it has never taken the initiative to sacrifice its own people, and in the face of such a fierce enemy, if it wants to sacrifice, how many people will it have to sacrifice to achieve its goal?

Half a million? 800,000? Or a million?

At this moment, many people were a little uneasy in their hearts, and their faces sank.

But despite this, no one immediately jumped out to question it, because in their impression, this Bai Shuai is not the kind of existence that is ruthless to their own people, and they are worried that they have thought about it and want to talk about it after listening to it.

Yuwen Cheng frowned, stared at Bai Qi's side face for a while, and then turned his head away again, without making a sound.

Meng Tian slowly swept over the generals' faces that had become serious and heavy, and looked at Bai Qi after taking a deep breath.

"Bai Shuai, I'll wait, listen to you!"

Regarding everyone's reaction, Bai Qizi also took it in his eyes, but there was no change in his expression, and he was still calm and calm.

"First, sacrifice eighty percent of the battleships, let them launch a battle to the death when the enemy fleet arrives, the ships will not be destroyed, and the battle will not stop! Courage to move forward, never die! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were shocked, and looked at Bai Qi in amazement, silent for a long time.

It wasn't until more than ten breaths later that Ge Shuhan broke the dead silence with a voice.

"Bai Shuai, is this the price you are talking about?"

"Or else?"

Bai Qi's warm eyes swept at Brother Shuhan, and asked calmly.

After receiving the answer, the hearts of the generals were finally put down, and their expressions were a lot more relaxed.

It turned out that they were going to sacrifice warships, and they thought they would sacrifice hundreds of thousands of troops......

"Bai Shuai Gaojian! Why didn't I think of that......"

Ge Shuhan patted his head in annoyance, and then smiled, looking excited.

"Our troops are all on the ground, and the other side should not have imagined that our army will send warships to launch a surprise attack when it is about to arrive, so that the other side should be able to be caught off guard!"

"And according to the intelligence of the four guards, the warships of our two sides should be similar, and if we use empty warships to attack the enemy's battleships full of soldiers, even if the battle damage ratio is one to one, or even one for two, we will not lose at all!"

"In this way, at least the other side can reduce the number of troops by three or five hundred thousand, if the arrangement is exquisite, and the enemy army is negligent and does not respond in time, it is not impossible to kill them eight or nine hundred thousand people!"

Yuwen Chengdu nodded heavily, and said angrily: "It is worthy of Bai Shuai, what I think and worry about is beyond our reach." ”

"Although this also requires the sacrifice of thousands of people who operate the battleship and the weapons on board, this sacrifice is extremely worthwhile, and I believe that even if there is no reward, every Daxia Erlang will not refuse! Because their achievements will forever be recorded in the annals of history, and their glory will be glorified in the genealogy! ”

Bai Qi bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This task is not forced, and it is necessary to select people who dare to die to carry it out." Of course, after the war, Ben Shuai will also personally ask the court for them! ”

Meng Tian pursed his lips, but he showed hesitation.

"Bai Shuai's strategy is indeed excellent, and it can also lay a solid foundation for victory and save the lives of countless soldiers. But, there is one problem...... "

"Your Majesty, will you be angry? After all, these warships were built by the imperial court with a huge amount of wealth......"

Bai Qi waved his hand and said calmly: "There is no need to worry about this matter, after the war, this marshal will explain to His Majesty." If Your Majesty wants to punish him, he will bear it! ”

When the words fell, Bai Qi didn't give anyone a chance to say more, and continued to talk about his strategy.

"Second, this commander intends to gather all the elite troops in the east and west camps, and quickly annihilate the enemies of the two sides in the shortest possible time with absolute combat superiority! After that, we will quickly return to the main camp. ”

"But there is a key problem here, that is, an elite army is needed to sit in the main camp, not only to firmly contain the enemy army, but also to ensure that the enemy army does not break the camp."

"It's a huge task, I don't know who can do it?"

As soon as Bai Qi's words fell, Han Xin immediately stood up, with a humble smile on his face, but his eyes were full of confidence.

"Han Xin, please fight!"

"I hope that Bai Shuai will hand over this task to my Yishan Army, and the last general is willing to make a military order! If the formation is broken, if the enemy flees, Han Xin, come and see you! ”

Bai Qi's eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his hand to stop the sound of others.

Because in his plan, Han Shin's Yishan Army is indeed the most suitable person to carry out this task.

"There is no joke in the army."

"There is no joke in the army!"

Han Xin clenched his fists heavily, and loudly affirmed his military order.
