Chapter 376: Arrangement

When Tianqing City formulated such a plan, it must have considered the interests of the whole country, if it had been using the previous means to burn and loot in the enclave through invisible spokespersons like Shen Tuyan, the negative impact on the Dongwang Mansion would not be too great, plus now that the Dongwang Mansion has been stationed, such a method will not work. How to do this once and for all, mobilize the emotions of the people in the entire enclave in the shortest possible time, and finally completely concentrate the power in Tianqing City, the current method is tantamount to the best policy.

As for those people who would be innocently slaughtered, the upper echelons of Tianqing City might not have considered it at all, in the eyes of cultivators of their level, ordinary people were really no different from grass mustard.

"Your Excellency the Consul, we have already made the matter clear, what to do, you can give the order. After a while, Ding Jiang raised his head and looked at Ye Guan, a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes, this color could not be described, as if he had made some kind of determination in his heart.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Consul, this is the end of the matter, you can give the order. The other three generals also echoed at the same time, they already knew the seriousness of the matter, and compared with the safety of Zhu'an City and the entire Dongwang Mansion, there was no comparison at all.

Ye Guan frowned slightly, glanced at several generals, and sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that after he had discovered the means of Tianqing City, the plan of the East Prince's Mansion for the enclave might end in complete failure, even if he avoided the troubles of the current enclave, Tianqing City would not attack the East Prince's Mansion immediately after gaining the favor of the people. On the front, the East Wangfu will also face pressure from within Qitian, if the fight starts, the East Wangfu has no way to retreat, and can only fight to the death. If the enclave attacks the Black Stone Bridge under the leadership of Tianqing City at this time, the East Wangfu will be attacked by the enemy and die.

Ye Guan didn't think of any way to crack this matter, he was helpless in his heart, and it was precisely because of this, but in any case, now the troops can't stay in the enclave for a long time, stay here, there is no life or death.

"General Ding. Ye Guan's face was calm, and he looked at Ding Jiang, who immediately got up, saluted respectfully, and said, "The last general." ”

"Fifteen brigades of defenders in the city, transfer out three brigades, enter the rear camp, wait for General Kou Long's dispatch, the rest is a brigade of sergeants, divided into five batches, you arrange the time, responsible for garrisoning the front of the city, mainly defensive, the enemy does not move, can not attack, take off half of the banner at the head of the city, if the enemy comes to attack, do not use all the defense, at most four brigades, but the city wall, can not be lost. Ye Guan looked at Ding Jiang with a serious face, and said his order.

Ye Guan's order can be described as detailed, and even how to defend it has been arranged, Ding Jiang didn't understand it, but he didn't ask, just said respectfully: "Obey." ”

"General Ren Zijin assists General Ding, remember, you can't go to the city to defend with all your strength, no matter how fierce the enemy attack is. Ye looked at Ren Zijin and said softly.

Ren Zijin immediately clenched his fists and respectfully said yes.

"General Tu Xingping. ”

"The end will be. ”

"I order you to lead two brigades of sergeants, take their baggage, evacuate from the main road, march to the simple wooden wall, consolidate the city defense, establish an offensive, and prepare for the subsequent retreat. When you see the mountains on the left and right in the direction of the city, you will immediately enter a battle state and be ready to meet the enemy at any time. ”

"Honorable Order!" Tu Xingping received the order, but he muttered a little in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and still respectfully accepted the order.

"General Colon. Ye Guan looked at Ko Long again.

"The end will be. ”

"Let me ask you, how many sergeants are there on the left and right mountain ranges now?" Ye Guan asked.

"Back to the commander-in-chief, there is a brigade on the left and right, but no obvious fortifications have been established, mainly ambushes, and the enemy attack has been repelled three times before. Kou Long immediately replied, he had carefully informed Ye Guan of the defense of the left and right mountain ranges, but he didn't know why he asked again.

"After the frontal attack starts, if I don't expect, there will definitely be a large number of enemy sergeants in the left and right mountain ranges, your task is the most important, in addition to the two brigades taken away by General Tu Xingping, you still have eight teams of men and horses in your hands, defend the two mountain ranges properly, after repelling the enemy's attack, immediately attack, uproot the enemy's camps on the left and right, and then immediately attack the enemy's main camp from both sides, there must be no mistake. Ye Guan looked at Kou Long with a serious face, in his plan, the defense of the rear was extremely important, and it was also the turning point of the battle.

Kou Long's spirit was shocked, and he immediately said, "The last general will be honored." ”

After arranging these, Ye Guan groaned slightly, and then said: "You three generals will go down and arrange it immediately, General Ding will stay, and I still have a few words to say." ”

"Yes. The three generals, Kou Long, Ren Zijin, and Tu Xingping, immediately bowed down, Shi Li retreated, and immediately went to prepare for the matters arranged by Ye Guan. These generals have experienced a hundred battles, and as soon as Ye Guan arranged it so simply, they probably understood Ye Guan's intentions, and in the process of action, the possibility of mistakes would also be reduced.

After the three generals retreated, Ye looked at Ding Jiang, his face was heavy, and he said softly: "General Ding, with such an arrangement, in the process of frontal defense, I am afraid that you will have to fight hard." ”

When Ding Jiang heard this, he grinned and said: "What did the general leader say, as a soldier, it is my duty to kill the enemy on the battlefield, I am not afraid of death, and I am afraid of any hardship." ”

Ye Guan shook his head slightly and said, "The hard battle I said is not what you imagined. When I say bitter fighting, I want you to make a gesture to make the enemy feel that our army has suffered heavy losses in the previous battle and does not have much strength to defend the city walls, and then induce the enemy to make other arrangements to inspire them to think that it is possible to annihilate us completely. Only then will the later plans be useful. ”

When Ding Jiang heard this, he immediately frowned, thought about it carefully, and then said, "That's why you said before that the commander-in-chief only asked me to lead four teams of men and horses to defend, and you can't call reinforcements no matter what?"

Ye Guan nodded slightly, and Ding Jiang's face was embarrassed.

As a high-ranking general of the Eastern Wangfu Army, he deeply understood the difficulty of doing so. No sergeant can watch his comrades-in-arms fight bloodily, the more fierce the battle, the more anxious the sergeants who did not join the battle, as the war progresses, those sergeants under the city may not fully obey the order, they will go to the city to kill the enemy, if they forcibly suppress it, it will cause the morale of the troops to plummet, if they are no longer together, it is okay, Ye Guan means to let most of the sergeants ambush in the city, waiting for the opportunity to defeat the enemy with one blow, but this waiting process is the most difficult.

"When the battle starts, all the sergeants left behind in the city will know, if I order everyone not to come forward, let them watch their brothers of life and death fight bloodily on the city wall, no bloody man can stand it, Lord Commander-in-Chief, is there no other way?" Ding Jiang looked embarrassed, this arrangement is indeed a little difficult, although the army of the East Wangfu is experienced in a hundred battles and has a strong will, but it is still difficult to let them watch their comrades die.

Ye Guan sighed lightly and said: "The enemy's intention now is to drag us to death in Zhu'an City, if we directly abandon the city and retreat, we will inevitably be hunted down, in this vast Zongqiu Mountain, the war horse cannot gallop, and will definitely be dragged to death by the enemy." If we want the enemy to attack with all our strength to give us a chance to retreat, we must let them see more benefits than they imagined. I thought about it carefully, rather than trapping us here, it would be more beneficial to the plans of the people behind the scenes, who could trumpet it under the banner of having completely annihilated the army of the Eastern Palace, so as to raise their prestige more quickly and make things progress faster. ”

"If we want to retreat in a short time, I am afraid that there is only one way, if we rashly attack the enemy camp, then we may face the danger of total annihilation. ”

Ye Guan's face was a little unpleasant, of course he knew that this matter was not so easy to do, to make the enemy think that the Dongwang Mansion had lost its combat effectiveness, this matter itself was extremely difficult to do, and the sergeants who needed to be arranged by Ding Jiang had been fighting bloodily in the city, and Ye Guan said before that he would divide the army into five parts, and he also thought of such a possibility.

Ding Jiang was silent and no longer spoken, he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter, carefully considering the generals under his command to see who could do such a thing.

"If I didn't expect it, the enemy army would also attack today, but it was completely tentative, because they saw that I was back, so they would stick to their previous idea and trap me and all the sergeants in Zhu'an City, so that I could not take time out to think about other things and not destroy their plans, so, General Ding, showing the enemy weakness is also a common means on the battlefield, I think it is not too difficult for you. ”

Ding Jiang fully understood what Ye Guan meant, sighed softly, and said, "I understand, according to the arrangement of the Commander-in-Chief, I will solve it by myself." ”

"When the enemy army attacks with all its might, General Kou Long will definitely take the enemy camp on the left and right as soon as possible, and coordinate with the city gate, attack on three sides, annihilate the enemy's frontal force, and then smash Huanglong and take the enemy camp, and then we will immediately evacuate, without giving the enemy any chance to react. This will minimize the losses of this operation. ”

Ding Jiang nodded lightly, he was not a man-made Ye Guan's strategy, it was just that he showed weakness to the enemy in continuous battles, and it did not affect his morale, which had to be considered, and then he thought that Ye Guan had let him divide the army into five parts, and he already had a candidate in his heart, and then he immediately understood Ye Guan's intentions, some words, needless to say too clearly, although his concerns were not utopian, Ye Guan had obviously taken this matter into account.

Immediately, Ding Jiang already knew what to do in his heart, and the sadness on his face also subsided a lot, and he hugged his fist at Ye Guan and said, "Lord Commander, it's easy to calculate." ”

"How to calm the hearts of the soldiers, you do it yourself, my request to you, only to show the enemy weakness, this requires a process, you have to absolutely guarantee that the enemy will believe. Ye Guan looked at Ding Jiang indifferently and said.

"The last general's order!" Ding Jiang immediately shouted, and then retreated, he already had a way in his heart, and immediately went down to start arranging.
