After a long time, Ye Lingyan raised his head and looked at Lin Ruofeng, with a glimmer of divine light in his eyes, and said to Lin Ruofeng: "Ruofeng's strategy is not unavoidable, if we succeed in this strategy, not only can we avoid a rigid and passive defensive strategy, but also if you use your scorched earth strategy, even if it is because of lack of time, it will be enough for their coalition forces to drink a pot." ”

Lin Ruofeng said a little embarrassed: "This idea was told to me by Yuxian, but I can't come up with this plan." ”

Ye Lingyan obviously didn't expect her daughter to have this vision, and waved her hand, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if Xian'er thinks or what you think, I listened to this strategy just now, and I suddenly feel as if we have overlooked a very important thing!"

Lin Haotian said, "What did Ye Aiqing think of?"

Ye Lingyan said to Lin Haotian: " Back to the emperor, I am ashamed to say that this problem should have been seen a long time ago, we just thought that Rakshasas, Great Eclipse, Persia and Orcs would form an alliance to attack our Great Zhao, but we forgot a fundamental thing, that is, they are at least scattered now, and even their own armies have not yet gathered together, it will take a lot of time to complete this step, you know, Persia to the border closest to us and can allow them to exert their troops, with the marching speed of their army, plus the time to gather troops and grass, it will take nearly a year, even if it is a big eclipse, it will not be possible to put it on our borders for a while and a half, even if it is an orc, the orcs are in the rakshasas, but they are in the northernmost part of the rakshasas, and it will take at least two or three months to reach our border, and only the rakshasa is in the north and we are directly bordered. ”

Lin Ruofeng patted his head, "Uncle, I think I understand what you mean, do you mean that now while their coalition forces have not yet gathered, we will first strike hard, take it by surprise, first disarm the Rakshasa closest to us, and then pack up the orc army that came later, and then implement a scorched earth strategy near the Rakshasa to our border, forcing them to accompany us in a decisive battle in the narrow area east of Yumen Pass?"

Ye Lingyan glanced at Lin Ruofeng in surprise, but he didn't expect Lin Ruofeng to say all his thoughts, "That's right, that's what I mean, as long as we have a good grasp of the time of the coalition's actions and the intelligence of the assembly, we still have a lot to do this time." ”

Lin Haotian also understood, and his gloomy mood couldn't help but suddenly brighten, "That's right, our biggest advantage is that most of our border guards and Rouran Iron Cavalry are assembled on the border line, and their current army has not yet been assembled, as long as we move quickly and catch them off guard, it is absolutely feasible." ”

Ye Lingyan looked at the large map of the northern frontier on the wall, and said to Ye Lingyan: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks so, this time the army we send into the Rakshasa country to attack and destroy should be mainly cavalry, and the infantry in the other border guards should not participate, and among these cavalry, we only mobilized 2 million Rouran Iron Cavalry, 200,000 Lightning Iron Cavalry, 130,000 Ruofeng's field army, and 500,000 ten cavalry battalions in the Praetorian Guard, and the other troops are used as reserves, and do not directly participate in the raid on the support of the Rakshasa Country." ”

Lin Haotian was a little incomprehensible, although the combat troops of the Rakshasa Country were not all deployed on the border with Dazhao, but there were more than six million to say the least, "Ye Aiqing, is this a little inappropriate, our troops are only less than 3 million, can we defeat the more than 6 million border guards of the Rakshasa Country in a short time?"

Lin Ruofeng knew that Lin Haotian had doubts, and said: " Father, you don't know this, what my uncle just said are our elite cavalry of Da Zhao, we are a surprise attack this time, the emphasis is on speed, if you bring the infantry, the battle must be protracted, delay the fighter, and our cavalry come and go like the wind, when encountering the encirclement and suppression of the Rakshasa army, we can also calmly break through, after all, we run fast, if we bring the infantry then we must only fight hard, then we will lose both sides, lose the border guards, when the time comes, where do we find a sufficient number of combat troops to resist the invasion of Dashi and Persia。 ”

Ye Lingyan also said at this time: " I have a reason to do this, our elite soldiers of Da Zhao have basically become cavalry, although this can allow our cavalry to match the soldiers of the Western army, but relatively, our infantry is very fragile, don't look at our Da Zhao's foot soldiers to defend the city is still passable, if it is a field battle, I am afraid that 100,000 troops may not be able to withstand the impact of the 30,000 troops of the Rakshasa country, so this is also no way, the main battlefield of this raid must be in the territory of the northern Rakshasa country, where there are basically grasslands, basically no danger to defend, it is a disaster for our infantry, the infantry is suitable for defending and attacking the city, which is their best battlefield. ”

Lin Haotian nodded, he understood what Ye Lingyan and Lin Ruofeng meant, after all, he was a literati, and he was actually a layman for war, since Ye Lingyan and Lin Ruofeng, two people who have studied more deeply in the military field, thought that it should be like this, he also agreed with their statement.

Ye Lingyan was really relieved to see that Lin Haotian did not object to his idea, although he was not subject to the order of the monarch outside, but if the monarch insisted on asking for it, it would still be hindered a lot, if the monarch could fully support it, then obviously the war often represented the unity of his own side, and he could have a lot of chances of winning, Lin Haotian has rarely interfered with Ye Lingyan's decision, which is also the reason why Ye Lingyan is often victorious and undefeated, for Lin Haotian's support every time, Ye Lingyan is quite grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"But it's not that we don't need infantry at all, when the time comes, we use cavalry to open the breakthrough first, and then we still need infantry to hold the breakthrough and expand the results, and when the time comes, to implement the scorched earth strategy mainly depends on those foot soldiers, our elite cavalry all fight in the front line, taking on the most important task, and the infantry is mainly responsible for cooperating, and when the time comes, it can also avoid being made dumplings by the Rakshasa and the orc army. ”

After Lin Ruofeng and the other three of them determined the strategic plan for this war, the next thing was to mobilize grain and grass and the specific arrangements for the army, and they were busy until the evening, and finally came up with a practical plan, which began to unfold in an orderly manner, and the terrifying state of Dazhao also began to run at full speed, mobilizing grain and grass, raising military salaries, recruiting new soldiers, training local troops to supplement the border guards, etc., and the atmosphere of the war began to spread in Dazhao.
