Chapter 285: Yuan Tianguang's Plan
After solving the troubles of the "four rats", the late night in Shuolin City seems to have really become quiet and safe.
The atmosphere that had become more solemn and serious because of the presence of rats also began to gradually improve, at least the smiles on the faces of the sergeants and cultivators in the tavern inn on the street were much more than before.
In addition, the armies of the Tianxing Dynasty and the Loulan Dynasty had withdrawn farther, and the burden imposed on them was much lighter, how could they not feel relaxed and happy.
And just two days after solving the trouble with the rats.
The cultivators who had been assigned to Shuolin City from various clan forces on the mainland finally met with City Lord Yuan Tianguang at the City Lord's Mansion, and soon after they officially joined the border army of Shuolin City, and together with the sergeants, they were responsible for guarding the border gate Shuolin City.
There were quite a few cultivators sent by the major clan forces, which made Su You and his party extremely relaxed after this day, and even began to wonder if Yuan Tianguang had forgotten their existence.
But the good times didn't last long.
The soldiers and cultivators in the city hadn't relaxed for a few days, and there were scouts who came to report that the armies of the Heavenly Star Dynasty and the Loulan Dynasty, which had retired before, did not know when they would make a comeback, and the size of the army was much larger than the last time, and the number of Heavenly Demon Domain demons mixed with the soldiers was also greater than before.
In this way, the cultivators who had just arrived in Shuolin City for a short time stepped onto the battlefield with the defenders of the city and began to exert their light and heat.
But Su You and his party were called to the city lord's mansion by Yuan Tianguang.
Without waiting for Su You and his party to ask, Yuan Tianguang first dismissed everyone in the City Lord's Mansion, and then said to Su You and the others: "A few don't blame, at present, Shuolin City has the assistance of various clan forces, and the problem of defending the city no longer exists, but for both sides of the war, such a stalemate will never bring the fruits of victory, but a blind attack is even more undesirable." ”
"Coupled with the news that the scout had brought back earlier, I made a decision when I heard the news, and it took a few people to help with this decision."
"Oh?" After listening to what Yuan Tianguang said, Su You was a little curious, "I don't know what the decision of the city lord is?" ”
Yuan Tianguang immediately spoke: "Previously, the scouts came to say that they had found the place where the Tianxing Dynasty and the Loulan Dynasty stored their grain and grass, and the defensive strength of that place was not very tight, so I hope that a few of you can sneak from Shuolin City to that place at night, and then burn it to ashes with a fire!" ”
"After all, the armies of the Tianxing and Loulan Dynasty can do without the evil ghosts of the Heavenly Demon Domain, but they must not be without the most important grain and grass for ordinary soldiers."
"The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, if we can cut off the transportation of grain and grass from the Tianxing Dynasty and the Loulan Dynasty, we think we can completely reverse the situation of passive defense and turn defense into offense."
After hearing this, Su You and the others understood, it turned out that Yuan Tianguang wanted to infiltrate the rear of the enemy army and create some "small troubles" on the opposite side, which could not only relieve the combat pressure on the front line, but also severely damage the logistics and supply of the opposing army.
When Yuan Tianguang said this plan, he didn't forget to draw a few lines on a map placed in the City Lord's Mansion.
Then he pointed to one of the lines and said that the frontline troops of the Tianxing Dynasty and the Loulan Dynasty were extremely far away from their rear, so this time the joint attack of the Tianxing Dynasty and the Loulan Dynasty could be regarded as a long journey.
But it is precisely because of the long journey that the supply of the army of the Tianxing Dynasty and the Loulan Dynasty is actually extremely difficult to achieve a stable and long-term replenishment, once there is a mistake in one of the links, the front-line army will definitely be chaotic because the supply cannot keep up.
"Moreover, this time the Tianxing Dynasty and the Loulan Dynasty jointly attacked but directly brought 300,000 troops, once this kind of army has problems in terms of logistics and supply, not only will there be problems with the food and clothing of the 300,000 army, but even the morale and combat power of the sergeants will be greatly reduced, after all, the majority of the armies of the four major dynasties are still low-level cultivators and ordinary people, and they can't completely break through to the valley like cultivators who have broken through to the innate realm."
Yuan Tianguang said treacherously: "If our defenders face a group of hungry ghosts who can't even eat, the chance of victory will definitely be more than seventy percent!" ”
Su You looked at Yuan Tianguang's grinning appearance and was a little embarrassed, "So this task was handed over to us by you, the city lord, right?" ”
"That's right, but the real reason is actually because of the news from the scouts."
Yuan Tianguang, who heard Su You's words, restrained the smile on his face, and then explained to everyone: "The news from the scouts also said that although the number of sergeants responsible for guarding the rear supply is not much, it seems that there are still many Heavenly Demon Domain demons mixed in, if you just send ordinary sergeants to go, you must not be the opponent of those Heavenly Demon Domain demons, so I thought that if you can go, this plan is foolproof." ”
"I see."
Su You understood.
Next, Yuan Tianguang discussed some details of the plan with Su You and others, and finalized the plan with everyone after a while.
The plan will be carried out tonight, but not everyone will go.
As the best executor of the plan, and also the highest cultivation level in the group, Su You only chose Jiang Nu'er and Qi Meiren to execute the plan with him, and Qingli, Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue were responsible for acting as a helping hand in a hidden place outside the city, so that even if Su You and the three of them were in danger and needed to escape, they could still help Shuolin City before they reacted.
After everything was ready, Su You, Jiang Nu'er, and Qi Meiren and the two daughters dressed lightly, and after saying goodbye to Qingli, Ji Hongxiang and Lin Jiangyue, they left Shuolin City in night clothes as fast as possible, taking advantage of the night to keep marching in the darkness, relying on the map brought back by the scouts before, and rushed towards the place of heavy supplies belonging to the army of the Tianxing and Loulan Dynasty, which was hundreds of miles away from them.
Ji Hong, Lin Jiangyue and Qingli followed slowly and stopped halfway through.
There is a small village near where they are now, and although there has been a war recently, it has not been in trouble because of its remote location, and the situation of the village is relatively safe.
So the three girls disguised themselves as refugees and ran into the village.
After hearing that the three daughters had fled and had no place to live, the people in the village invited the three girls to live in the village with great pity.
In this way, the third daughter placed her stronghold in a forest on the outskirts of the village, so that she and Su You and his party could communicate and exchange information.
