Chapter 232: Strategy

Zilong looked at Wan'er who was excited affectionately, and said with a smile: "I will directly let the captives go back, and carry the letters of the leaders of the tribes on them, as well as the letters of persuasion written by me!"

"Is this okay? If Ashig finds out that the captives are carrying letters, will he kill them immediately and cover up the news?" Wan'er looked at Zilong suspiciously and asked softly.

"One captive can be killed, and nothing is heard, but what about a hundred captives? And of the hundred captives that are released, ninety percent of them are arranged as soldiers of their tribes, and they will certainly try to show the letters to the people of their tribe, and they will certainly tell them our strength, so that they will be afraid, and their military spirit will be shaken. It must be known to passers-by that so many captives have returned to the camp, and I don't think Ashig can cover up the letters they brought back, and will only openly ask why these captives were released, so that our goal has been achieved!" Zilong said confidently.

"This plan is very good! The captives of the tribes returned to the camp, and Ashig would never dare to kill them, because his tribal alliance would be separated from him because of this, so Brother Zilong's plan will definitely succeed! Can Brother Zilong think of how to phrase it?" Wan'er asked.

"Let's just say that if they surrender, they will be allowed to return to the grassland to live, and they will be given preferential treatment!" Zilong said with a smile.

"Ahh

"How so?" Zilong said with a smug smile, "Do you think Ashig will really believe that I will let him back?"

"Understood!" Wan'er couldn't help but nod when she heard this, and said, "Then let's do it! It's just that there is still a problem here! Even if the 20,000 tribal army remains neutral and deals with the 8,000 Ashig elites, we still can't be tough enough to rush and kill! What's more, Ashig is only suffering from scabies, and the Ordos Department is a big problem! We only have 20,000 troops in the set, and if the loss here in Ashig is too great, I'm afraid that we will no longer be able to deter Ordos and make them withdraw their troops!"

"With the right fit, with the odd win!" Zilong said slowly.

"If you have a strange plan, in the art of war, there is nothing more than flooding, burning, burying, and so on! This method of flooding is not advisable, it really hurts 1,000 enemies and loses 800 ourselves! Not to mention that the battlefield is far away from the Yellow River, and we can't do flooding! If we attack by fire, I have a plan that may be done!" Wan'er thought for a moment when she heard this, and then said this.

"Haha! I also thought of a fire attack plan! Why don't we write them down with pen and paper, and then see how our plan is?" Zilong said happily when he heard Wan'er's words.

"Okay!" Wan'er also happily took the pen and paper, adjusted the ink, and then the two picked up the wolf's hair, covered it with their cuffs, and wrote separately.

After a while, Zilong directly swiped his pen and ink, wrote his own strategy, and then hung the pen on the pen stand, and said proudly: "Okay!" Zilong was just a beggar at first, although he learned martial arts by chance, but he didn't know anything about this art of war. Later, he entered the palace, and under the careful teaching of Wan'er, he learned Taoist Confucian classics and military strategies, but he never gave up.

It's just that Zilong was born in martial arts after all, and when he wrote, he couldn't help but treat the wolf as a sword, and when he wrote, he was also a dragon flying and a phoenix dance, which was the most elegant and chic.

After Zilong finished speaking, Wan'er slowly finished writing. Removed his sleeves, put the beautiful font on the edge of Zilong's words, and the two looked at it together.

I saw that Zilong wrote on it but the Fire Ox Array, and Wan'er wrote Tiandan Poyan! When the two saw each other, they both looked at each other and smiled.

Although the writing of the two is different, it is actually one thing! This Tiandan Poyan was a famous battle during the Warring States Period.

At that time, the famous general of Yan State, Le Yi, commanded the army of Yan State, and even pulled out 72 cities of Qi State, which is the capital of Linzi, and were captured by Le Yi. Only Jucheng and Jimo are left.

Later, Yan Guo changed his commander and transferred Le Yi back to China. And the State of Qi also produced a famous general Tian Dan at this time. In view of the current form, this Tiandan decisively implemented the fire bull formation tactics under Jucheng!

The tactic of this fire bull formation is to select more than 1,000 fire oxen and dress them up, with two sharp knives tied to their horns and a bundle of oil-soaked reeds tied to their tails. At the beginning of the war, the oxtail is directly set on fire, and the ox will go berserk and jump towards the enemy's camp. Thousands of mad bulls collided with each other, and no matter how tight the battle formation was, it could no longer be maintained, so Tian Dan took advantage of this fire bull formation to break the battle formation of the Yan army, and then covered up the killing, so he won a big victory!

Now what the two of them are writing is this past! Zilong looked at Wan'er Junxiu's font, and said with a smile: "Wan'er, do you think this Fire Bull Formation can break the enemy?"

"I think it should be done!" Wan'er heard the words unclear, so she heard the question in Zilong's mouth, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Zilong, do you have any doubts?"

"I'm just thinking, is it really enough to rely on this mad bull to charge into battle, can this bull's tail catch fire, can it break the enemy army?" Zilong said when he heard this.

"This is recorded in ancient books, and there should be no mistake!" Wan'er said.

"I don't doubt this art of war, it's just that since Ashige dares to lead the army to attack Ningxia, he should have learned the art of war, if he really uses the fire ox array, he may not be able to break it, I think, it's better to find Wulangzi and them to discuss! They are grassland people, and they are the best at animal husbandry, so maybe they can improve it!" Zilong said loudly.

"Okay! Brother Zilong is reasonable!" Wan'er also nodded when she heard this, although this fire bull array is recorded in the book, but since the Warring States period, it does not exist in the history books, Zilong expressed doubts, and it is indeed right.

Seeing Wan'er's agreement, Zilong ordered Yao Mingqiang to invite Wulangzi over. Gorouzi was originally going to prepare to go to battle with the army, but suddenly heard that Zilong was going to summon him again, so he quickly came to Zilong.

After entering the account, he saluted Zilong, and then said, "Lord Chief, are you looking for me?"

Zilong told Golangzi about his intention to destroy the enemy with the Fire Ox Array, and finally asked, "Golangzi, do you think this strategy is feasible?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult!" Gorouzi shook his head when he heard this, and said, "If the cow is burned with its tail, it will only crash in place, but I am afraid that it has not broken through the enemy formation, but has broken through our own battle formation!"

"Huh?" Wan'er said in surprise as she covered her lips, "How can this be?"

Zilong couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and said: "Fortunately, we asked in advance, otherwise this battle will really be a big mistake! Tian Dan can use this array, it seems that there are still some methods that have not been recorded in the history books, if we follow the script, we can only laugh and be generous, and the legacy will be endless!"

"So what's going on now?" Wan'er also lost her mind for a while when she heard this, and couldn't help asking.

"I think we can still use the Fire Ox Formation, but we have to change!" Zilong smiled, and said in his chest, "On our grassland, the most are cattle and horses!

"I don't know how the Leader can improve?" Gorouzi couldn't help but ask when she heard Zilong's words. He knows the most about livestock and knows the temperament of cattle and horses, but he wants to hear Zilong's tactics to help Zilong improve it.

"Attacking the enemy with cows and horses, Gorouzi, do you think you can do it?" Zilong didn't say his thoughts directly, but asked Gorouzi a question first.

"This ......" Gorouzi couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, Zilong's meaning was obviously to ask himself if he could let the cattle and horses charge into battle! Originally, with Gorouzi learning the grazing methods of his Abba, this charge was not a difficult thing! However, the weakness of the cattle and horses was obvious, and the enemy army was mostly grassland forces, so there may not be no herding masters, so Gorouzi hesitated for a while.

After a long time, he nodded firmly and said: "With my means, it is not difficult to forgive! As long as I blindfold the cows and horses, I can command a thousand cattle and horses to charge together at most! If you assign me some more people and give me some time to train, this number can be expanded a little!"

"Okay, then how many people do you need to command three thousand oxen and horses to charge into battle?" Zilong heard that Golangzi really had a way, and immediately asked happily.

"Give me ten senior herdsmen, and I will definitely be able to train them before the war!" Gorouzi patted his chest and assured.

"Okay! I'll dial it to you!" Zilong said happily and directly, "You quickly go and pick ten herdsmen and train them quickly, I need them to be in place before the battle! By the way, you go and inform those tribes who have tribesmen in the Ahig army, and order them to send elders to persuade me to surrender with my army!"

"Order!" Gorouzi saluted when he heard the words and retreated directly.

After Wulangzi retreated, Wan'er couldn't help asking: "Brother Zilong, don't you just think about relying on these cows and horses to charge into battle, right? Ordinary cows and horses are not as good as cavalry, what's the use!?"

"Naturally, it's not that simple!" Zilong said with a smile, "My plan is actually still a fire bull formation, just a variant! I put gunpowder on top of these cows and horses, and then when I get close to the enemy formation, I will directly rocket these gunpowder! With the impact of gunpowder, this enemy formation will definitely not be able to resist, so that we will be able to break the enemy in one battle if we lead the army to cover up and kill!"

"Gunpowder!" Wan'er was shocked when she heard this, and said, "This is a military prohibition controlled by the imperial court, where is this thing on the grassland?"

"Hehe, have you forgotten that we are the Ming army?" Zilong smiled meaningfully, and then said, "What's more, it is my father-in-law who is in charge of the logistics of the big war now, and this battle is for Ningxia, you say I want gunpowder, but my father-in-law will give it or not?"

"You ......" Wan'er couldn't help but be very shy, although she is now engaged to Zilong, but Wan'er still hasn't turned a corner for a while, and now Zilong keeps calling King An as her father-in-law, Wan'er is naturally delicate and happy!

"Hehe, why don't you repair a book yourself, and ask my father-in-law to give me some gunpowder so that I can use it to break the enemy!" Zilong saw Wan'er's blushing cheeks, and his eyes lit up, and he continued.
