Chapter 654 The decisive battle is coming
"This is the Cold Valley, about two miles long. There is a huge rock on the easternmost side of the valley. If we can find a way to blow up this rock, we can block the enemy's retreat."
"We can bury a large number of thunder bombs on the west side of the cold valley and deploy sufficient archers on both sides. When more than half of the enemy army has entered, we will first blow up the huge rocks on the east side to separate the army. At the same time, we will detonate the thunder bombs on the west side and let the archers shoot arrows into the valley."
"In this way, an army of 100,000 can be defeated."
Jian Feng spoke.
"General, although the Cold Valley is two miles long, it is not very wide. There can be at most 20,000 to 30,000 people in it at the same time. If we wait until half of the enemy army has passed before taking action, they will still let 20,000 to 30,000 people in."
Jiang Li asked.
"Yes, but by that time, the enemy will certainly panic and send all the ambushing troops to attack the people in the valley. The enemy will think that there is a heavy ambush and there is no general in the army, so they will panic and flee. By then, we will set up an ambush here in advance. When these people come over, we will start the battle."
"When the people in Daliang see the battle starting here, they will think that the main force of Ningchuan has arrived, and they will choose to leave the city to fight. In this way, the capital of Daliang can be captured."
Jian Feng said slowly, he had already predicted the psychology of the Emperor of Daliang.
"Okay, let's do as General Jianfeng said."
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. When it comes to arranging these things, he is far inferior to Jian Feng.
"Let Duanmu Liangjiang lead the team in this battle, and Jiang Li will accompany us."
Jian Feng said.
"promise."
Duanmu Liangjiang agreed, feeling somewhat flattered and surprised. In the past, he was only responsible for executing missions and killing enemies on the battlefield, but this time Jianfeng actually gave him the command directly.
In fact, Jianfeng was doing this to cultivate Duanmu Liangjiang's ability to treat illness.
Daqian's army will grow in number, and Qingzhou's army will also expand in the future. However, there are not many generals who can take on important responsibilities in the Qingzhou military camp.
Duanmu Liangjiang is a man of great martial arts skills and quick mind. He is neither arrogant nor impatient. If he is properly trained, he will surely become a capable general.
But when commanding for the first time, some low-level mistakes may be made. Having Jiang Li, an old general who has fought on the battlefield for many years, can prevent such mistakes from happening.
"Lei Pokong, you lead 20,000 soldiers and hide here. Wait until the enemy army flees to this point, then launch an offensive."
Jianfeng pointed to a place on the map and said.
"promise."
Lei Pokong responded, feeling somewhat surprised. This was the first time he led so many soldiers.
As the Lei family is a family of military generals, he has learned not only fighting skills, but he is also good at marching and fighting.
Just because of his dark and strong appearance and the machete weighing dozens of kilograms, it is easy for people to misunderstand him.
After so many days of contact between Jian Feng and Lei Pokong, they discovered each other's ability and talent in marching and commanding, so they let him lead the troops.
This time, we are dealing with the remnants of Ningchuan’s army. The combat effectiveness of these fleeing troops is usually very weak, which is a good opportunity for training.
"If we arrange this this way, if Daliang suddenly launches an attack and attacks our camp..."
Lei Pokong said with some hesitation.
Although Daqian had an army of 100,000, 40,000 prisoners could not be counted as combat power. In total, there were only 60,000 people.
Jianfeng's arrangement not only took away a lot of troops, but also took away several of their generals. He was afraid that the camp would be empty and Daliang would take advantage of it.
"Don't worry, Daliang will not take the initiative to send troops. At least not before you start fighting."
Jianfeng said affirmatively.
Almost all roads out of Daliang City were blocked, and it was extremely difficult to communicate between the two countries. The Emperor of Daliang could only know the approximate time when the Ningchuan army would arrive, but not the exact day.
In this situation, if Daliang rashly sent troops and Ningchuan Kingdom did not come, the Emperor of Daliang would be dumbfounded.
They could only wait until Ningchuan and Daqian started fighting before sending troops.
"Be discreet when you leave, and don't let Daliang find you. Bring enough dry food, and don't light a fire at night."
Jian Feng reminded.
The weather is not too cold now, so it’s okay not to light a fire at night.
"Don't worry, General."
Lei Pokong said loudly.
"In a few days, when the Ningchuan deserters are about to arrive, we will pretend that we have just learned the news and mobilize all the troops. Then we will hide nearby."
"When the fighting starts over there, Daliang will also get the news and think that we are all going to fight, so they will mobilize their entire army and fight us to the death."
"This will fall right into our ambush. We will then tie up the Daliang soldiers here, and Brother Lu Gou, you take some of the best soldiers in the army to seize the Daliang capital."
"As long as we take down the capital of Daliang, we will win this battle. If there are many defenders lying in ambush in the capital of Daliang and we cannot take it down, that's fine too. Brother Lu, you can just lead the brothers back and we can attack from both sides and capture all the soldiers outside Daliang. Then we can use the tower cars to take down the city."
"After the Han Valley is blocked, Ningchuan's other 50,000 troops will have to take a detour. It will take at least two or three days to get here. This is definitely enough time."
"It would be best if Brother Duanmu could kill the Ningchuan Army's commander in the ambush. The Ningchuan Army is leaderless, and those 50,000 soldiers may return the same way they came."
Jianfeng talked for a long time, and gave many instructions for attention. Lin Xiaofan listened, and he admired him more and more. What Jianfeng said almost blocked all the roads in Daliang and Ningchuan.
In other words, when Ningchuan State's whereabouts were detected, the outcome of the battle was already determined.
"Anything else you want to add?"
Jianfeng felt a little dry in the mouth after talking so he drank some water.
Everyone shook their heads, the arrangement of the sword edge was almost perfect.
"In that case, let's proceed according to the plan. Duanmu Liangjiang, you will set out tomorrow and prepare Lei Zhenzi in advance. If conditions permit, get more rolling logs and rocks."
"Lei Pokong, you can set out again in seven days. Leave secretly at night and don't be exposed."
"The rest of you, do as usual. Don't evacuate the campfires or camps, so as to avoid letting the people in Daliang notice anything unusual. And make sure to keep an eye on these Ningchuan captives."
Jian Feng gave his final instructions.
"promise."
Everyone responded one after another.
In the capital of Daliang, the amount of meals for the soldiers defending the city returned to normal, enough to fill their stomachs, and there were no more complaints in the army.
Everyone was very serious, because they understood that the food was sufficient not because the Daliang Emperor had obtained the food, but because he had supplied all the food to the military camp. The final decisive battle was not far away.
But can we really win?
No one had any hope. The pressure from Daqian was too great.
Although the Daliang soldiers were terrified, they did not panic because as Daliang warriors, they would fight for their country even if the final outcome was failure.
