Shangguan Fei once came up with an idea for the Dragon King, suggesting that a surprise army be ambushed in the mountains and attack the Jinpeng army from the flank, although Gu Shenwei was perfunctory, he was actually surprised in his heart, because this was one of the secret strategies he formulated with Dugu Xian.

For this upcoming war, Dugu Xian put all his heart and soul into it, and as a traitor to Jinpeng Castle like the Dragon King, he knows very well that victory or defeat means life and death.

In front of the generals and soldiers in the army, Dugu Xian behaved extremely calm and confident, and personally inspected the various armies every day, solving problems and boosting morale.

But in private, Dugu Xian was not so confident, and he only told the truth to the Dragon King, "No matter how good the time and place are, it is still people who determine the outcome of the war, the Jinpeng army is 80,000, and the Dragon army is 30,000, even if the Xiaoyao Sea is ten times larger, and the country is narrow enough to allow only one person to pass, it will not be able to offset this gap." ”

Dugu Xian is still a person who doesn't believe in miracles, "It's not uncommon to win more with less, but it's an exception, unless the enemy makes a major mistake, otherwise, the greatest general can't beat more than twice as many enemies." ”

Sometimes General Right was too pessimistic, and Gu Shenwei asked him, "In that case, what are we going to do in Nandu to Anguo? Do you delay the time of defeat?"

"Knowing that we can't do it, there are few dragon soldiers, so we have to fight for all possible advantages, even if it's just a little bit, accumulation, it can make the odds higher, the odds of winning have risen from thirty percent to forty percent, which is an improvement, but it's not big enough, if Shangguan Jianyi doesn't make mistakes, 30,000 people still can't beat 80,000 people." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't want to sit back and wait for the enemy to make a mistake, so before Nandu, he was thinking about the tactics of the decisive battle.

Flanking is a common but very effective tactic, and under normal circumstances, any general will deliberately watch behind their flanks to prevent enemy attacks, unless the flanks themselves are protected by natural barriers.

Osan is a natural barrier, steep and high on the side towards Anguo, ambushing dozens of martial arts masters, and no one believes that it can contain an army.

"Because of this, the warriors who rushed out of Osan were the surprise soldiers. Gu Shenwei explained his thoughts to General You.

Dugu Xian was very unoptimistic about this plan at first, "Okay, it's a surprise soldier, but how does the Dragon King plan to cram an army of at least three thousand people in an impossible place, and at the same time avoid the eyes of the Jinpeng Army?"

Gu Shenwei rummaged through the map, summoned a large number of Anguo locals and soldiers from Wushan, inquired about every secret passage in the mountain and the unopened path, and finally chose a location.

"Here. Gu Shenwei pointed out to Dugu Xian on the map, "This is the Swallowing Wind Gorge, dozens of miles to the west, there is a gentle slope, the terrain behind the mountain is not too difficult, you can ambush soldiers, three thousand, or even five thousand people are no problem." ”

Dugu Xian thought for a long time and began to ask, "We first have to lead the Jinpeng Army here for a decisive battle." ”

"Yes. ”

"The Dragon King has thought about it, in this way, it is equivalent to giving up half of the territory of Anguo, and the Jinpeng Army will have a large foothold, and the Dragon Army's advantage will be left. ”

"Since the odds of winning with a normal style of play are too small, you can only take risks. ”

"This position is too obvious, I am afraid that Shangguan Jianyi will not be easily fooled, or he will send troops to occupy the top of the slope in advance, but instead block the ambush soldiers behind the mountain and cannot get out. ”

"You said that no matter how well prepared you are, if you want to win more with less, you have to rely on the other party to make mistakes, and I just want Shangguan Jianyi to make mistakes. ”

Dugu Xian looked at the Dragon King in surprise, and gradually gained confidence from his cold and stoic eyes, the Dragon King's intrigue and tricks might come in handy, and his task was to block the enemy's strong attack on the frontal battlefield.

But he still had to ask clearly, "Which armies does the Dragon Army plan to let take on this role?"

In the early days of the Dragon Army, more than 20 thousand-man armies were established, and in the process of expansion, a number of new ones were built, and now it has reached 36, some of which are less than 1,000 people, and are also known as thousand-man armies.

Gu Shenwei shook his head, "Since it is a strange soldier, it can't be too conspicuous, there are many Jinpeng Fort spies inside and outside the barracks, and it is impossible to quietly transfer troops to punish generals, not to mention, the Dragon Army is already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and dividing troops is not the best choice." ”

Dugu Xian very much recognized the Dragon King's reasoning, so he was even more puzzled about the source of the "strange soldier".

Gu Shenwei used his finger to draw a circle in the Wushan Mountains on the map, "There is also an army here. ”

Dugu Xian thought for a while before he understood, "Tuo Neng Ya?"

Soon after returning to the Western Regions, Gu Shenwei assigned the old swordsman Tuo Nengya and Ha Chilie from the Wushan tribe to enter the mountains to contact all forces, completely eliminate the influence of Jinpeng Castle, and protect the passage to the country of Xiangji.

This was not an easy task, the two men led a small number of men into the mountains, and in the past few months, they had only pacified a third of the mountainous area by talking or fighting, but the army had been expanded, and had reached more than three thousand, and if the call was made, one or two thousand more could be added.

Gu Shenwei maintained correspondence with Tuo Nengya, and when he rebuilt the Dragon Army, he also appointed Tuo Nengya, who was not in Xiaoyaohai, as a thousand lieutenants and Ha Chilie as deputy thousand lieutenants at the first time.

Gu Shenwei wanted to transfer this army out of Wushan several times, considering the importance of the passage to the country of incense, so he never gave an order, and when he decided to set up a surprise army, he immediately thought of Tuo Nengya.

When Tuo Nengya was ordered to enter the mountain, Dugu Xian had not yet been appointed as the right general, so he was not very familiar with the old swordsman, "The Wushan tribe and the mine thieves, there is a lot of courage and ruthlessness, a few people, at most dozens of people, the combat effectiveness is quite strong, no matter how much, it is almost like a rabble." ”

Gu Shenwei had fought with the tribal army, and his confidence was higher than that of Dugu Xian, "Tuo Neng Ya can train them." ”

Dugu Xian thought about it for a while, "To be honest, Dragon King, this is not my favorite tactic, there are too many uncertainties, any mistake in any link may lead to a complete loss, especially giving up half of Anguo, which may cause a major blow to the morale of our army." ”

Before the Nandu had been arranged, the Dragons' most reasonable tactic at that time was to occupy Anguo, launch an attack when the Jinpeng army crossed the lake by boat and had not yet gained a firm foothold, wipe out the enemy's main force on the beach, and then start a decisive battle.

However, the Jinpeng army found a passage on the westernmost side of the Xiaoyao Sea, and made every effort to open mountains and bridges, and a small number of soldiers had occupied a small base on the south bank, and the dragon army's initial tactics could not be implemented, Dugu Xian began to seriously consider the dragon king's plan and decided that he could only take risks.

In the name of inspecting the terrain and arranging the checkpoints, he ran through the entire country from east to west, and by the way, carefully observed the decisive battle site chosen by the Dragon King.

'It's a good place to flank. ”

After the Dragon King crossed to the south, the two congregations discussed this plan many times, Dugu Xian's confidence was a little higher, and he considered more problems, "I'm worried that the gentle slope is too conspicuous now, and Shangguan Jianyi won't notice it when the time comes, and I've inquired, the mountains behind the gentle slope are not easy to walk, and An Guo has tried to open up a new channel there several times, but they have failed." ”

"It is precisely because it is difficult to walk that the tribal soldiers living in Osan can play to their advantage, and can make Shangguan Jianyi ignore the threat there. ”

Dugu Xian also understood these truths, and he pointed out the biggest loophole in the Dragon King's plan, "In this case, the fate of the entire Dragon Army will depend on a tribal army that has just been established and the Dragon King has not even seen it." ”

Gu Shenwei must admit that this is what he is most worried about, he believes in Tuo Nengya, and he also has seven or eight points of confidence in Ha Chilie, but the Wushan tribe is different.

According to the traditional concept, after the Swallowing Wind Gorge and entering the Wushan Mountain, it is no longer within the scope of the Western Regions, and the tribes have always had a tendency to reject the affairs outside the mountains, and they are very hateful to the mine thieves who poured in from the Western Regions.

"I should have gone into the mountains myself. "The Osan tribe will play an unexpectedly important role in this war, and Gu Shenwei is indeed not at ease, hoping to control them more firmly.

Dugu Xian immediately objected, "It's not proper, if the Dragon King leaves, I'm afraid that the hearts of the 30,000 Dragon Army will be turbulent, and the gains will outweigh the losses." ”

In order to keep it secret, the ambush plan was never revealed to a third party, and even Tonengya himself had no idea of the responsibility he was going to shoulder.

Gu Shenwei asked General Right to recommend a person to go into the mountain to convey the secret order to Tuo Nengya, this person also needs to know a little bit about arranging troops, and can help Tuo Neng Ya reorganize the army.

"Wu Zongheng. Dugu Xian immediately gave a candidate.

Wu Zongheng was originally the small leader of the guards guarding the city of Anguo, because he showed a trace of leadership temperament in the chaos, he was promoted to the deputy captain of the direct army by the Dragon King, and in Liucheng in the west of Huiguo, he led the army to resist the attack of the Jinpeng army, and then organized an orderly retreat and Nandu, proving that he lived up to the expectations of the Dragon King.

There is another reason why Dugu Xian chose him: the Dragon King trusts Wu Zongheng very much.

Without the appreciation of the Dragon King, Wu Zongheng, who was born as a commoner, would probably never have a bright future, so among the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms, he was one of the most reliable people.

Gu Shenwei did trust Wu Zongheng, but not as much as Dugu Xian imagined, so he had to appoint another person, the person he really trusted.

The task of the lotus girl is simple, protect Wu Zongheng along the way, and ensure that he is really worthy of the Dragon King's trust at critical moments.

The Lotus Girl remembered the days when she was a killer apprentice in the stone castle, when Huan Nu and she were suspicious of each other, but in order to deal with the common enemy, they had to unite and form the "Arm Slave Gang", she was not only the most qualified partner, but also the most thoughtful staff officer, Gu Shenwei made almost every plan, she participated in advance, and made suggestions.

Now, she's a pure escort.

The Dragon King consulted different things with different people, some of which she could hear and some that she couldn't, but she rarely got involved.

The lotus girl doesn't know how to fight, and the dragon king's approach is extremely normal, and she only occasionally misses the past.

"Yes. She accepted the task as usual, but she couldn't help but think of Shangguan Fei's words in her heart, and suspected that the Dragon King was looking for an excuse to break himself away.

At the same time, Gu Shenwei also thought of Shangguan Fei, and decided to let him play an unexpected important role.
