Chapter 129: Warning
Tang Yulin was indeed startled when he saw Xu Xueqian's head, but he immediately calmed down. The first thing that this person with extremely strong psychological quality took into account was that his enemies had changed. He knew very well that it was impossible for the Liu family or the Yao family to send the head, and they didn't need to do it at all. If they really have the evidence, whether it is to correct the law on the spot or to assassinate him, he will not have a chance to think. But the other party's approach is obviously just to give him a warning.
A warning not only woke him up, but also exposed the enemy. Tang Yulin stroked Xu Xueqian's hair, sighed, and instructed his cronies to find a cloth bag, carefully put the human head into the cloth bag, and then buried it under his bed himself.
After the mysterious man got the news, he was also speechless for a long time. He motioned for the people who were watching Tang Yulin to go down, and then he fell into deep thought.
The civil strife was calmed down silently, which was what the Liu family and the Yao family hoped for the most. And Ba Niu, it didn't go as smoothly as expected. When he and Sheng Shiyuan arrived at Chu Yuxing's camp in the Giant Plains, what they saw was a terrifying scene.
Like the starry sky, the vast lights are the torches of the Kangle people. Their centaurs, like a huge colony of ants on the ground, could not see the end for a while.
"Is Lord Taiwei afraid?" Sheng Shiyuan looked at Ba Niu's discolored face, and said sarcastically: "No wonder Lord Taiwei is afraid, this kind of battle with no chance of winning should not be fought in the first place." From the perspective of Weichen, we will continue to use suspicious soldiers to disturb the enemy's morale, and wait for the enemy to completely relax his vigilance, and then make other calculations."
Of course, Ba Niu knew that he was trying to provoke the counter-words he said, but these words were extremely effective, which quickly calmed down his nervous mood. He shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't have to provoke me, and I'm not a person who is confused by the magic of agitation." He took a closer look at the enemy's camp, then looked at Sheng Shiyuan, and continued: "Although Chu Yuxing can march, he doesn't know the art of war. He lined up his 450,000 men like serpents on such vast plains. This is undoubtedly exposing all of his weaknesses."
"Even so, the disparity in strength is something we have to consider." Sheng Shiyuan agreed with him, but at the same time put forward a different opinion: "In this case, we can only have a chance to win if we hold the throat of the enemy, and there is no other way."
"Where, then, is the throat of the enemy?" Ba Niu has his own thoughts in his heart, but he still has to ask Sheng Shiyuan, he believes that the wisdom of two people is better than the wisdom of one person.
"Of course, it's Chu Yuxing's Chinese army camp." Sheng Shiyuan said without hesitation: "As long as Chu Yuxing's Chinese army moves, then all the other camps will have an unstable foothold. It is bound to collapse for a thousand miles, and beyond that, attacking any point will not have a decisive effect."
His words coincided with his thoughts, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. However, this is easier said than done. Although Chu Yuxing's army was scattered due to the terrain, his large camp of the Chinese army was still protected layer by layer by the most elite troops, and it was difficult to break through.
"Homecoming"! Ba Niu looked at Sheng Shiyuan beside him, and then said: "It is not easy to break through the enemy camp, so we have to think of another way." Chu Yuxing has always wanted to have a head-on battle with our army, he thinks that the numerical advantage is enough for him to win this war, and the harassment tactics that have always made them eat the sweetness, he is even more eager to fight with our army. Before noon tomorrow, you have to lead your men to fight him. I don't need to say much about how to do it, in a word, you have to attract all their attention and troops. And managed to drag them down. I expect that Chu Yuxing will definitely watch the battle in person, and then I will be able to act at the opportunity."
What he said about acting at the opportunistic point was nothing more than a sneak attack. But Sheng Shiyuan thought more deeply than him, he pondered for a while, and said: "Although Chu Yuxing is eager to fight, he is not a mediocre talent, and it is difficult to use my 25,000 people to attract his 450,000 people. This is a plain, not a mountain, and without the cover of the terrain, we cannot create an illusion. Once they see the facts clearly, and only chase us with a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand people, it will be difficult for me to retreat with all my body, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for Lord Taiwei to find an opportunity."
This is exactly what Ba Niu was worried about, so he had a new method: "Then, let's take advantage of the cover of night to carry out a sneak attack." The Kangle people have been at ease for a long time, and must be unprepared for our surprise attack, and once we break through their first line of defense, we will completely break their formation, and with it, their large camp."
"How is this possible"? Sheng Shiyuan immediately retorted: "With 75,000 people, to attack 450,000 people, even if we can cause a lot of commotion, it is impossible to achieve the final victory. We are like a crossbow, under the action of a powerful bowstring, it is easy to penetrate the first layer of plank, and it is possible to penetrate the second layer of plank, but what about the third and fourth layers? At the end of the strong crossbow, you can't wear artemisia, this should be very clear to Lord Taiwei. Stumped adults are going to make a desperate gamble and make a big gamble"?
Of course, Ba Niu would not take such an adventure, and his two temptations were just to eliminate the doubts in his heart. Therefore, when he heard Sheng Shiyuan rejecting his two suggestions, he immediately slapped his palms and laughed: "Returning to fate is really fast, isn't there any one of these two plans that can work"?
"Not a single one", Sheng Shiyuan shook his head with a smile and continued: "Moreover, this is not a strategic plan that Lord Taiwei wants to implement."
Ba Niu laughed again, and then said seriously: "Then, there is only a desperate battle."
"Only a desperate battle"! Although Sheng Shiyuan didn't look at him, the resolute attitude in his eyes once again affirmed this resolution.
Ba Niu immediately took out the tiger talisman and instructed the heralds: "Go to the base camp, gather all the people here, and tell them that within three days, they must arrive"! The herald took the order, and here Ba Niu looked at Sheng Shiyuan again and said: "With the meaning of returning to fate, should we go to camp opposite the Kangle people now, or just hide here, and wait until the army is gathered before facing them?"
"Now, of course." Sheng Shiyuan smiled proudly: "In the eyes of Lord Taiwei, is there much difference between 75,000 and 150,000 people?"
"Of course not". Ba Niu couldn't help laughing, he patted Sheng Shiyuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I really know my fate." What I think can't escape your eyes." So he immediately ordered to set up camp thirty miles opposite the Kangle people, and waited for the rest of the men and horses to arrive.
It wasn't until the next morning that Chu Yuxing knew that there was an enemy on the opposite side of him, which made him break out in a cold sweat. He immediately led a group of men and horses to the front to find out the situation. When he saw the Nine Dragons Flag of Ba Niu, his heart was surging again. He would never have imagined that this terrifying enemy would appear in front of him so suddenly, making him a little at a loss for a while.
"The sudden appearance of the enemy must be due to some conspiracy." After gathering all the generals, he said to everyone: "Li Jiuyuan has always been treacherous, and he will never go toe-to-toe with our army without preparation, so you must not act rashly until your intentions are discovered."
Chu Yuxing has always been a person who says the same, and few people dare to go against his will in front of him, so whether the decision he makes is right or wrong, he basically won't get any feedback, only obedient. Even in the military, this is no exception. So when he said this, the generals were silent for a while.
"Weichen thinks that he can test the strength of the enemy army first." His own nephew, who is also the last person he trusted now, Chu Xiuyuan, said cautiously: "Li Jiuyuan is indeed an unborn genius, but to win under such a big gap in strength is tantamount to ascending to the sky. According to Wei Chen's intentions, it is better to send a team of men to challenge first, try the enemy's sharpness, and then we will make further planning before it is too late."
Chu Yuxing nodded: "It's okay like this, it's okay."
