Chapter 962: Calculation

On December 5, the sky cleared, and Bai Ze's 180,000 mercenaries left Xiping City in a mighty way, leaving less than 5,000 people to guard the city, and at the same time took more than 10,000 soldiers from Xiping City to serve as a reserve army.

Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi were mixed in the strategist group, and they all changed into black robes, and all the strategists were hidden in the dark, this is the reason for wearing black robes, they have never shown their true faces, but the cloak behind Lin Muyu protruded a black cloth-wrapped sword hilt, which made people feel a little depressed, even if this person was a strategist, he was also a strategist who could fight, not as weak as others.

Sikong Yao rode his horse and Lin Muyu side by side, the army drove mightily, the iron horse opened the way, and the grain cart was delayed, because it was a local battle, so there was no need to carry too much grain and grass, and after entering Dongning Province, the local government would prepare the food for the army in the near future.

The cold wind howled and blew the battle flags to hunt.

Sikong Yao squinted at a pair of beautiful eyes and said, "Brother Ayu, we just got the news that Chen Yu's army has surrounded Dongning City, and Gong Shangming has led nearly 300,000 troops to guard Dongning City, and there are nearly 200,000 scattered troops on the periphery, and Chen Yu's troops besieging the city are 500,000, what should we do? ”

"Isn't there still nearly 400,000 troops Chen Yu who have not been used? These 400,000 people can attack us at any time, and if we really break the siege, I am afraid that we will become the key targets of attack. ”

Lin Muyu smiled faintly: "Besides, Ah Yao, our 180,000 army was pulled up by you and Bu Yi, and this time, I didn't plan to let your 180,000 army go to the frontal battlefield." ”

"We don't fight a frontal war?" Sikong Yao was shocked.

Even, even Liu Buyi was stunned: "Lin Shuai, if we don't fight a frontal battlefield, how can we break the enemy? This Chen Yu's million-strong army is not paper-paste, it can be blown away in one breath, and if you don't let them bleed, I'm afraid they don't know how powerful they are, and it is impossible to withdraw from Dongning Province." ”

"I know, let's talk about it after entering Dongning Province, have our scouts been released?"

"Let it out. ”

"Within three days, you must give me a detailed layout and supply route map of Chen Yu's army. ”

"Yes!"

Tang Xiaoxi rode her horse leisurely, while looking at the scenery on both sides, with Lin Muyu sitting in Bai Ze's mercenaries, she didn't need to worry about anything at all, after all, Lin Muyu had fought for so many years, and he was extremely talented, enough for the master of the group of generals in the Extreme Continent, as long as Lin Muyu wanted to win, it was impossible not to win.

Qin Yin also secretly opened Yan Xi's eyes from time to time to look at the surrounding scenery, she had learned to control the domain power of Yan Xi's eyes, although she had not yet reached the point of retracting and releasing freely, but she was able to no longer indiscriminately coerce and attack when she opened her eyes, at least when she was not hostile, the people around her would not feel too strong a sense of oppression.

"It turns out that the snow scene of the Tianji Continent is also so beautiful. Qin Yin whispered.

Lin Muyu also lowered his voice and chuckled: "Well, but Xiao Yin doesn't need to worry, sooner or later, every inch of land here will belong to us, and the entire Tianji Continent will also be included in our version of Great Qin." ”

Qin Yin trembled slightly: "Did my brother really decide to go on an expedition across the sea?"

"Well, but it will take some time, three years at most, a year at the least, and we need to be ready to decide. Lin Muyu looked at her straight and said, "Xiaoyin, do you think I've changed?"

"Well, a little. Qin Yin bowed: "If it had been placed in the past, Brother Ah Yu would probably not take the initiative to attack others. ”

"There is no way, the first strike, the second strike and be controlled by others. Lin Muyu sighed, and said with a deep gaze: "When I know that the other party will launch a fatal blow, I can't be a woman anymore, I don't want the people I care about to die one by one and leave me." ”

"Well, Xiao Yin will support you wholeheartedly. ”

"After unification, we will ascend, shall we? The Demon Emperor Brother of the Eastern Heavenly Court and the Zi Yao Fairy will definitely expect us to ascend, and after the ascension, we will be able to rank in the Heavenly Realm Immortal Book." ”

"Hmm!"

......

Three days later, the sky was snowing again, and the army had finally entered Dongning Province, which was less than five hundred miles away from the battlefield of Dongning City.

But Lin Muyu instructed Sikong Yao to pass the order, not to go to Dongning City at full speed, but to rest once a day at the edge of the states and counties along the way, and the distance traveled every day was only fifty miles, and at the same time constantly released scouts to inquire about the battlefield information, and King Lan Ji gave Bai Ze mercenaries ten wolf falcons and orc trainers, which played an excellent role as scouts.

In the evening, Xianjun.

Xian County is not rich, just a small state and county in Dongning Province, with a population of nearly 200,000, with farming and fishing and hunting as its business, Sikong Yao has the county lord token, and was warmly welcomed by Xian County Taishou, when the army arrived outside the county in the evening and camped, the city sent a large number of grain and grass, ordnance and cattle and sheep, etc., so it was not a problem to kill pigs and slaughter cattle to comfort the three armies.

Bai Ze's mercenaries' Chinese military tent was very tightly guarded, and even the Taishou of Xianjun was not qualified to enter, but when Liu Buyi opened the tent door and walked in, he found that Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, Sikong Yao and others were cooking beef head hot pot, and got a large piece of beef leg meat from the gift of Xianjun Taishou, which was just ready for hot pot.

Liu Buyi sat down honestly and unceremoniously, and smiled: "Wow, I didn't expect to add dinner tonight, there is something delicious!"

Sikong Yao glared at him: "Has the task been completed?"

"It's done!"

Liu Buyi took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Sikong Yao.

Sikong Yao handed it to Lin Muyu with his backhand, and said, "Brother Ayu, take a look, if you don't understand something, ask me, I have walked many times in Dongning Province, and I am very familiar with it." ”

"Hmm. ”

Lin Muyu sat cross-legged, and unfolded the scroll with a "bang", this is a large map of Dongning Province and Tianji Province, and the red ink on it has marked the deployment, camp, strength and supply route of the 900,000 army under the command of Chen Yu, Lin Muyu was silent for a long time, and slowly put down the map.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yin asked.

Lin Muyu took a deep breath: "Chen Yu really deserves to be Chen Yu, and he is never Qin Yi, North Abyss, Shi Yuan's mediocre emperors can be compared, you see, his 500,000 army surrounded Dongning City, blocking all the exit routes of Dongning City, and the other 400,000 troops were divided into eight armies, three of which were deployed in the southeast of Dongning City to strictly guard against the reinforcements of the Blackstone Empire, and the other five were deployed in a five-cornered position to the north of us, and the five armies could assist each other at any time, and these 250,000 people were used to block us. ”

Sikong Yao squinted his eyes and said: "These 250,000 people are the Earth Absolute Legion, the army under the command of Zhou Binlong, in the army of the Heavenly Absolute Empire, in addition to the Heavenly Absolute Legion under the command of the King of Dongcheng, which can be called the first-class combat power, this Earth Absolute Legion is the second class, Chen Yu sent the Earth Absolute Legion to deal with us, but he really looks down on Bai Ze's mercenaries!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a dragon groaning overhead.

"It's a dragon knight!" Tang Xiaoxi was slightly stunned.

Qin Yin moved his palm slightly, and the surroundings of his green jade fingers were suddenly filled with a faint luster of divine power, and asked, "Brother Ayu, Bai Ze's mercenaries don't have dragon knights, it must be the dragon knights of the Heavenly Absolute Empire who are spying on us, do you want to clean them up?"

"Not necessarily. ”

Lin Muyu shook his head: "Don't worry about it, let it watch it if you want to see it, let's continue to eat." As a last resort, the three of us don't expose ourselves, I don't want to formally break with Chen Yu for the time being, after all, we are still allies on the surface. ”

"Hmm. ”

Sikong Yao was a little uneasy, and frowned lightly: "So...... Brother Ayu, we are less than 400 miles away from the Earth Absolute Corps, and their cavalry can rush here in a day and a night, do we really have to sit back and wait to die?"

"Ah Yao, you just give the order to strengthen the guard, after camping, you must immediately dig fortifications, bury antlers, etc., pikemen are stationed on the periphery, archers are second, and cavalry is in the center, even if they rush to attack, they are tired cavalry, our pikemen plus archers, are you still afraid that a tired cavalry will not work?"

Sikong Yao suddenly smiled softly and nodded: "Well, I understand." ”

At this moment, Sikong Yao felt that Lin Muyu was really a peerless general, as if as long as he was by his side, he could win, and he didn't need to worry about anything anymore, Lin Muyu unconsciously revealed his calmness and confidence when giving orders, which Sikong Yao had never seen before, the girl's heart was pounding, but in front of Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi, Sikong Yao could only restrain this emotion, being a sister is a sister, and it is better to be a brother and sister than a stranger.

Liu Buyi rubbed his hands: "Eat hot pot, eat hot pot!"

Lin Muyu glared at him: "Eat a yarn, you go and give a new order to eat it later." ”

"Huh? And the order?"

"Well, let the scout team go out one more time. ”

"Why, haven't you already spied on the detailed military information?"

"The distribution of grain and grass, the amount of grain stored, the number and details of the grain route, I need all these things, if it is only a rough inquiry, this kind of news will harm the whole army. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand. ”

Liu Buyi was solemn, put his helmet in his armpit and saluted before going out.

Qin Yin was a little surprised, and said, "Brother Ayu, what are your plans?"

"Grain, food. ”

Lin Muyu muttered to himself: "Nine hundred thousand people from the Heavenly Absolute Empire entered Dongning Province, and almost all the counties along the way directly besieged Dongning City, so most of the grain of the Heavenly Absolute Empire had to be transported from the mainland, but the two places were separated by such a large non-return forest, and their grain route must have been approved by the Demon Emperor's female killer, so ...... We just need to cut off the grain route and secretly send people to burn their granaries, just imagine, how much grain will 900,000 people eat in a day, how can they hoard enough, within five days, they will kill horses to satisfy hunger, within half a month, I am afraid that the Heavenly Absolute Empire will collapse without a fight, once they break and flee, but there is no cavalry, our cavalry can chase and kill, 900,000 troops...... Hmph, it would be nice to be able to return to the Heavenly Absolute Empire with half of it left. ”

Sikong Yao opened his mouth wide, this is the real calculation, this is the insight that a famous general should have, Liu Buyi and the others only thought about fighting the battle in front of them, but Lin Muyu had already thought of the war in a month, and his ability to master the war was very different.
