The third stage, a strong blow.

After half a month of individual fighting, the group battle was officially launched, and the Five Elements Great Array quietly appeared.

At the same time, more than 10,000 men and horses who were not included in the Five Elements Great Array formed two wings, left and right, and ambushed on the left and right sides of the battlefield respectively, preparing to cooperate with the Five Elements Great Array to pursue and annihilate the fleeing enemy.

Strive to defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop and drive it out of the eastern borders of China.

......

Hua Feng's "three-step tactics" comprehensively used tactical means such as arrogating the enemy, confusing the enemy, exhausting the enemy, ambushing the enemy, and encircling the enemy, and lured the Qing army into a trap step by step.

Of course, this is easier said than done.

Not to mention anything else, it is not easy to achieve the requirement of "failing but not winning" in the first stage.

After all, there are many masters in the Qing army, if it is a feint, it is easy to say that one or two people are defeated, but if the number of defeated people is large, it will inevitably leak out.

Winning or losing?

It does not achieve the effect of arrogance of the enemy.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to select the candidates for this first stage.

Sending the weak to war?

It doesn't seem right!

First, it is easy for the other party to detect the strangeness.

Second, I am afraid that I will be taken by the other party and cause damage.

Let the Pao Ze brothers be cannon fodder, the kind-hearted Hua Feng will never be able to do this.

......

Comparatively speaking, the tasks of the second stage are the easiest to complete.

After all, it's a battle of victory and defeat, evenly matched.

At that time, as long as there are strong and weak candidates, it is enough, and as long as there are winners and losers, it is enough to have a winning result.

The tasks of the third stage are also not easy to complete.

Because Li Chengdong is not easy to follow, if he wants to be obedient, he must plan carefully, and he will act extremely realistically, so that he can get his wish.

......

After a heated discussion, the five of them all believed that Hua Feng's "three-step tactics" were a clever strategy as long as they were used properly.

Chen Jinnan, who is resourceful, believes that the plan is better than changing, and instead of re-calculating at that time, it is better to put aside the third stage, which is the most variable, and only concentrate on the first step - to circle the candidates for the first stage.

Chen Jinnan's proposal was immediately fully supported by Duosi.

After pondering for a while, Hua Feng, Zhu Hongzhu, and Wan Yunlong also felt that Chen Jinnan's proposal was very reasonable.

......

Since it is a "three-step tactic", it means that after the overall tactics are determined, we have to take one step at a time.

Therefore, it is obviously not reasonable to work out all three steps now.

One of the reasons is that there are too many variables.

"Three-step tactics", each step is not static, to the third step, I don't know what kind of situation it will be?

Based on this, it is most appropriate to determine only the method and measures of the first step.

The second reason is that it is easy to rest on its laurels.

Once a person has formed a mindset, it is difficult to have any more whimsical ideas.

The coming day is long, why rush to imprison yourself in a cage?

......

War is like doing things, sometimes it is necessary to "grasp the big and let go of the small", sometimes it is necessary to "grasp the small and magnify", and sometimes it is necessary to "grasp the big and the small at the same time", and the specific operation depends on the actual situation.

At this time, Hua Feng and others are "grasping small amplification".

That is, to abandon the "whole" and cling to the "individual".

Put aside the "whole" of the "three-step tactic" and grasp the "individual" of the first stage to plan.

This approach is more targeted and to the point.

......

In the first stage, the most demanding candidates are not martial arts, but acting skills.

Speaking of drills, if Hua Feng said that he ranked second, absolutely no one among the heroes dared to say first.

But as the commander of the first army, of course, he can't play the general of the defeated army.

However, in Hua Feng's mind, four suitable candidates soon emerged: Meng Qi, Jiang Nannan, Meng Qingqing, and Meng Zhenzhen.

When these four were in Lin'an Mansion, the scene of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" was quite realistic and impressive.

The candidates that Hua Feng thought of immediately were, Ren Yong, Duan Jinchao, Ran Huanyu, Xiang Tianxiao, Lu Shiying, Zhang Chuanxiong, Ding Xiang, Liu Meng, and Shi Wuyuan.

......

Ren Yong won't talk about it, a powerful actor. Since following Hua Feng, his acting skills have become more and more superb.

The reason why Duan Jinchao was shortlisted was mainly because when he was in Putian, he dealt with Chen Xuejuan alone, which was also breathtaking.

Ran Huanyu and Xiang Tianxiao are two people, with funny skills, and they have never been weaker than others. Their selection is indeed expected.

As for Lu Shiying and Zhang Chuanxiong, their performance was acceptable when they subdued the two beloved daughters of the "Shennian Gang", "Fang Family Liangzhihua", and the four disciples of "There is no return".

Lilac was in the Meng family in South China, and performed well in dealing with the younger generation of masters in the martial arts world in South China. However, its martial arts are weak, and if you want to fight, you have to choose your opponent according to the situation.

Liu Meng and Shi Wuyuan performed very satisfactorily when they fought against Leng Feixue and Deng Feishuang at the Huashan party.

......

However, Meng Qi, Duan Jinchao, Jiang Nannan, Meng Zhenzhen, Liu Meng, and Shi Wuyuan have already fought with Qing army guards or generals before, and if they want to fight in the first stage, they must have to make up and dress up carefully.

Otherwise, if you have shot twice in succession, the contrast between strength and weakness is too great, isn't there a suspicion that "there is no silver three hundred taels here, and Ah Er next door has never stolen it"?

......

Regarding the thirteen candidates provided by Hua Feng, Zhu Hongzhu and others have no objection.

After all, the abilities and qualities of these people have long been well known to them.

Moreover, they have long understood Hua Feng's ability to recognize and employ people.

Therefore, Jiang Nannan, Meng Qingqing, Meng Qi, Meng Zhenzhen, Ren Yong, Duan Jinchao, Ran Huanyu, Xiang Tianxiao, Lu Shiying, Zhang Chuanxiong, Ding Xiang, Liu Meng, Shi Wuyuan and other thirteen people have been selected for the first stage of the battle list.

......

Subsequently, the three giants of Hongmen also put forward the ideal candidates in their minds, involving not only Hongmen, but the entire East China martial arts world.

The number of people provided by the three is counted in one place, and there are as many as seventeen people.

So far, as many as 30 candidates have been determined for the first stage.

According to the calculation of four battles in one day, a total of five days, only twenty people are enough.

Hua Feng proposed that these thirty people be circled first, and then decided according to the situation.

If it is carried out according to the original plan and does not increase the number of games and days, then Meng Qi, Duan Jinchao, Jiang Nannan, Meng Zhenzhen, Liu Meng, and Shi Wuyuan, who have already more or less exposed their strength, do not need to make a move.

......

After agreeing, Hua Feng proposed.

The matter was kept secret for the time being, and before the war, the thirty people were summoned again and a secret meeting was convened to make further demands.

In addition, a military conference will be convened to inform about the manner and significance of the first phase of the battle.

asked everyone to be good actors, and not to show surprise, so that the Qing army was alert.

This meeting is neither long nor short. At the end of the meeting, it was the time when the lights were on, and the sumptuous dinner was ready to stop.

Knowing that these heroes drank an astonishing amount of alcohol, the head of the Lin family also ingeniously brought hundreds of jars of spirits to make everyone drunk.
