Chapter 679: Goal
Qin Ning released the powerful divine sense that had been recovered, and after careful investigation, he realized that there was still a huge stealth array around here!
Because this large array was fixed, the energy fluctuations were extremely weak, and Qin Ning had withdrawn his divine sense just now, so he was not felt.
This stealth array, according to Qin Ning's estimates, can accommodate an army of 300,000!
Qin Ning secretly called it a fluke, at such a distance, hiding an army of such a size, what does it mean to the Qin army that is about to start fighting, thinking about it makes Qin Ning afraid.
Now, Qin Ning wanted to go in and see, what did those soldiers from Longxi City want to do here?
Qin Ning knew that since the other party was so cautious at such a distance, the control would naturally be very tight. Qin Ning didn't rush in, but continued to use his divine sense to probe the surrounding Yiqiē.
In Qin Ning's divine sense, countless bright and dark whistles were all displayed.
Qin Ning quietly approached a dark whistle and killed it with one punch. Qin Ning cast a change trick and changed into the appearance of this dark whistle.
After waiting for two hours, it was finally time to change the guard, the next batch of dark sentinels came over to change the guard, and Qin Ning followed the other dark sentinels that were replaced and infiltrated into the stealth array.
Qin Ning found an opportunity, quietly hidden, and performed a stealth duel, and really investigated it in this stealth array.
This is a legion of the Blackwater Empire, with a size of 250,000 men. Qin Ning reconnoitred all the way and found the traces of those soldiers who came from Longxi City.
These soldiers of Longxi City directly met with the commander of the Blackwater Empire, and were discussing relevant matters in Longxi City there.
From 300,000 Qin troops marched north. The Northern Prince made a detailed deduction and plan for the battle of Longxi City.
At the beginning, the Blackwater Empire was thinking of directly deploying 250,000 troops to assist in the defense of Longxi City. In this way, with the original 350,000 Northern Prince's army in Longxi City, there are 600,000 troops.
With such a number of troops than to compare. You won't suffer a loss in a positional offensive and defensive battle with the Qin army.
But the prince of the north thought about it for a long time, and felt that such an offensive and defensive battle was a hard work, and the blow to the Qin army would not be very big.
Therefore, the Northern Emperor thought of a tactical change that could completely defeat the 300,000 Qin army.
From the conversation between the soldiers of Longxi City and the commander of the Blackwater Empire, Qin Ning learned that the Northern Prince wanted to use the 350,000 defenders of Longxi City to resist the attack of the Qin army from the front.
Judging from the experience of previous battles, the defenders of Longxi City could at least fight with the Qin army for ten days by virtue of the defense of the city and the defense of the defenders.
During this time, the army of the Blackwater Empire had absolutely ample time to quietly move behind the Qin army. Surprise Killer!
In this way, the Qin army will fall into a situation where the enemy is on its back.
At the same time as the Blackwater Empire moves, Longxi City will also organize elite troops to counterattack, and under the double blow of two directions, the Qin army's most powerful high-grade alchemy long-range ordnance will lose the advantage of controlling a large area, and can only passively turn to the ground forces for a decisive battle.
This is exactly the way the Northern Prince dreams of fighting, because in this way, he can give full play to the huge numerical advantage of the Northern Prince and the Blackwater Empire's allied forces.
The Northern Prince believed that with a huge military advantage of two to one. The defeat of the Qin army was a conservative result. If it is done a little better, it may even completely annihilate the Qin army.
I have to say that this plan of the Northern Prince is very vicious and very operable.
If Qin Ning focused his attention on the direction of reconnaissance in the west city of Longxi City. I personally came over to investigate and found that this stealth team, this plan was able to keep Qin Jun in the dark.
Qin Ning was afraid when he heard it. It is conceivable that the Qin army was storming Longxi City, and an army of 250,000 suddenly appeared behind it and attacked wildly. The Qin army didn't even have time to turn the muzzle of the cannon at that time. I'm afraid that before I can get ready, I will have to fight with the army of the Blackwater Empire behind me.
At this time, the army of Longxi City came out with another elite......
Fortunately. This plan was overheard by Qin Ning word for word.
Qin Ning was very patient, and when those soldiers from Longxi City said goodbye and left, Qin Ning had been secretly waiting for the commander of the Blackwater Empire Legion.
After sending off the liaison soldiers in Longxi City, the commander of the Blackwater Empire immediately summoned his generals to a meeting to study and formulate the corresponding military plan.
This commander is undoubtedly very cautious, the army of the Blackwater Empire has also suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the Qin army, in view of this, this commander has made a conservative attack plan even under the premise of almost a sneak attack.
The attack plan of the Blackwater Empire's army was to divide the 250,000 army into two parts, one part was the vanguard attack force, which was 100,000 people, and the reserve force of 150,000 was left.
When the forward attack is smooth and can break through the Qin army's defensive line, pull the reserves up and have a decisive battle.
In the event that the vanguard attack is unfavorable, the reserve is used as a receiving force to receive the advance force and retreat. As for how Longxi City is, it's not something I have to worry about.
This plan made Qin Ning scratch his head. It stands to reason that knowing the enemy's combat plan, you only need to make corresponding adjustments, but the arrangement of the commander of the Blackwater Empire, the overall force is very flexible, and it can be attacked and retreated.
If the Qin army faced this army of the Blackwater Empire alone, it would naturally not be afraid. But when the Qin army faced this army, there were still 350,000 troops in Longxi City eyeing the side.
If you can't quickly take down this force of the Blackwater Empire, even if it is in a stalemate, unpredictable things will happen.
Qin Ning firmly remembered all the military arrangements of the Blackwater Empire, and quietly targeted a small colonel who had been assigned to the vanguard.
The officer quickly separated from the generals and returned to his residence.
Qin Ning carefully observed the surroundings, and felt that there was no secret sentry, Qin Ning suddenly restrained this school official.
Using the control of the gods, Qin Ning controlled this school official.
Qin Ning did not completely turn this school official into his puppet, but kept the memory of this school official, but left his own strong mark in the depths of this school official's memory. Regardless of the important situation, the officer will use the communicator he left for the officer to send a message to himself.
This qiē is done. Qin Ning secretly left the Blackwater Empire's army station.
Back in the barracks, all the generals wanted to come forward to greet Qin Ning. saw Qin Ning waving his hand again and again, and without saying a word, he hid in the barracks where he lived.
This is a situation that has never been encountered by the generals. Generally, before the big war, Qin Ning was very willing to stay with the generals to discuss the enemy situation and discuss how to arrange the battle.
What surprised the generals even more was that at the military meeting the next day, Qin Ning directly gave an order, which made the generals a little unbelievable.
The 300,000 Qin army was divided into 50,000 as reserves, which were directly arranged in the direction facing the north, and this intention should be to prevent reinforcements from the Northern Prince that might come from the north. But the next arrangement is incomprehensible. On the west side of Longxi City, there were 100,000 troops, and the remaining three directions were all 50,000 troops.
The generals couldn't figure out what the purpose of such an arrangement was. But the next order made the generals even more stunned, and after completing the encirclement, they stood by on the spot.
What is the situation? Either the army will move together, or the attack will be carried out as soon as the encirclement is completed. Do so. But it's a bit of a taboo to march.
Qin Ning didn't give any explanation to the generals, and after the arrangement, he immediately returned to his camp.
The generals had no choice but to complete the siege of Longxi City according to Qin Ning's arrangement.
Qin Ning was actually waiting. After returning to the camp of the Qin army, Qin Ning immediately ordered the Qin army in the rear to send 100,000 troops and march to Longxi City in a hurry. Secretly ordered this army to be secretly stationed two hundred miles southwest of Longxi City. Wait for orders.
In fact, Qin Ning chose the primary target of this force of the Blackwater Empire. The Northern Prince dug a pit for Qin Ning. Qin Ning thought about retaliating with a tooth for a tooth and defeating one of the opponent's living forces first. Then concentrate on taking Longxi City.
Qin Ning dared to encircle Longxi City first, because he knew the battle plan of the Northern Prince, and the enemy wanted to attack inside and outside, so he would not rashly take the initiative to attack.
After this strange encirclement was carried out on the seventh day, Qin Ning received a message from the Qin army reinforced in the rear, and had arrived at the designated position to ask for instructions.
Qin Ning ordered this Qin army to hide his whereabouts, to be completely undetected, and to wait for orders.
Qin Ning arranged for the reinforcements of the Qin army and immediately gathered the generals. Qin Ning reported all the information he knew, and said his plan to defeat this army of the Blackwater Empire, and then take Longxi City.
Only then did the generals understand why Qin Ning had such an arrangement.
Qin Ning ordered all the encircled troops to carry out artillery bombardment according to the regular siege routine, but all the troops should be psychologically prepared, we are defending in the offensive, not to take Longxi City.
At the same time, the reserves, which remained due north, moved closer to the west and were stationed as reserves in the northwest corner.
Knowing Qin Ning's entire battle plan, the generals had no doubts, and this strange siege of the city finally began.
Longxi City was fiercely attacked by the heavy artillery of the Qin army from four directions, and the defenders of Longxi City reported the situation to the army of the Blackwater Empire in the first time according to the request of the Northern Prince.
At the same time, Qin Ning also received a message from the school official who was controlled by himself with the Divine Control Technique, and the army of the Blackwater Empire moved in the direction of Longxi City in accordance with the battle plan formulated in advance.
Qin Ning ordered that the Qin army attacking the west city of Longxi City should immediately divide 50,000 Qin troops and prepare for defense along the direction due west, and the 50,000 reserves in the northwest direction should move westward, waiting for orders to meet the Qin army facing the enemy to the west at any time.
The Qin army, which was reinforced in the rear, continued to remain silent for fifty miles, sending scouts in the direction of Longxi City, detecting the position of the enemy and us, and after receiving the order, they would attack the enemy at any cost.
On the perimeter of Longxi City, the movement of various units was very tight. In contrast, Longxi City, the center of the war, was unusually harmonious.
The Qin army shelled Longtu City, and Longxi City did not show weakness, and immediately used the city's defense heavy artillery to return fire. Both sides are fighting with heavy artillery, and neither of them uses ground troops to fight.
For several days, it was a conversation of heavy artillery shells, and not even a single lightly wounded person appeared on either side.
On the third day of the artillery battle, the Qin scouts discovered the figure of the 100,000 vanguard troops of the Blackwater Empire, which had approached less than 30 miles away from the 50,000 troops of the Qin army to meet the enemy.
Qin Ning ordered that all the besieging troops should be on the defensive, no matter which direction the defenders of Longxi City came from, they must resolutely beat the other party back to Longxi City, and they must not release an enemy.
Soon, the 100,000 vanguard troops of the Blackwater Empire approached the Qin army.
Seeing that the Qin army had taken precautions and defended in the direction of their advance, the vanguard of the Blackwater Empire was a little surprised. But seeing that the Qin army's defensive force was only fifty thousand, the vanguard of the Blackwater Empire gave the order to attack. (To be continued......)
