Chapter 370 Operational Plan
Another day passed, and Deng Youning and the others felt that if everything went well, Lu Zhaoye would have succeeded and was heading back.
Early in the morning, several people were sitting together eating breakfast.
Li Tianzhuo handed Deng Youning a bun and watched her eat it with great relish.
Before he had even finished his bowl of porridge, a patrolling soldier came hurriedly to report: "Everyone, it's bad, the Western Frontier Army is crossing the river!"
Cross the river?!
Hearing this, everyone was so shocked that they didn't even bother to eat.
"Yes, they are studying how to cross the river. According to the spies, they want to pass through Tianxing Canyon, enter the city directly, and attack our camp."
"This matter must be true. I hope all the masters will make a decision soon."
The soldier continued to report.
"Hurry up and call the sharpshooters. Get your crossbows and arrows ready. Shoot them while they're crossing the river!"
General Han remained calm despite the haste and arranged everything in an orderly manner.
"Yes, I'll be there soon."
The soldier immediately went down to make arrangements.
“I don’t think archery alone is enough.”
"Since Xilei can think of crossing the river, it proves that they are not afraid of our arrows."
Deng Youning analyzed secretly.
"Then use the oil fire attack from before."
Ever since General Han discovered that this tactic was useful, he has always been thinking about it.
Deng Youning still shook his head with regret. "This time they came across the river, and there is water all around. Even if there is a fire, it will be extinguished very quickly. A fire attack will not pose any threat to them."
Li Tianzhuo also added, "Besides, we don't have much oil left."
Speaking of this, the expressions on everyone's faces became more and more solemn.
"You guys eat first, I'll go check out the sand table."
Deng Youning walked away with the bun she had just taken a bite of.
Who can eat this meal?
General Han also seized the opportunity and drank the remaining porridge in one gulp.
Several people followed Deng Youning to the room where the terrain sand table of the city was located.
The terrain of Tianxing Canyon is also on the sand table, and this is where Deng Youning mainly looked.
The other three people also followed Deng Youning and looked at the topographic map here.
But they didn't know what Deng Youning was planning.
Finally, General Han couldn't help it, "Let's take a look at the layout of the city first, and ambush our limited forces everywhere in the city."
His words interrupted Deng Youning's train of thought.
But in fact, Deng Youning has already thought about most of what he should think about.
"Defense in the city is certainly important, but since we can no longer defend the riverside, we must not abandon the Star Valley."
From what she said, she wants to deploy it in Tianxing Canyon?
General Han and Han Xian were both a little shocked.
"The roads there are extremely narrow. In the narrowest places, three horses can't even pass through. In the slightly wider places, they are only two or three meters wide."
"Besides, the road is very long and there are rocks on both sides. There is no place to hide people. How can we deploy defenses?"
Han Xian was very shocked and thought Deng Youning was joking.
Only Li Tianzhuo, who truly understood her, did not express his opinion. He just wanted to hear what Deng Youning had to say.
He believed in her judgment and believed that she had her own ideas about what to do.
Deng Youning smiled at everyone, patted Han Xian on the shoulder, and advised: "Cousin, don't be so harsh!"
Seeing that everyone wanted to know her thoughts, Deng Youning held up a few small red flags and inserted chess pieces on the sand table while talking.
"First of all, it is extremely difficult for the people of Xilei to dodge our arrows and fire attacks and successfully cross the river, so it is impossible for them to send an army of hundreds of thousands."
"I guess, with their abilities, they can only bring in about 100,000 people at most."
There is no doubt about this.
They also expected that the entire West Fort would not be mobilized.
They should have about 350,000 people left.
For this crossing of the river, 100,000 people is the limit.
It might be as little as 50,000, or even less.
"Tianxing Canyon is narrow and steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"This place is like a slender snake, about three or four hundred feet long, but only two feet at its widest point."
“So we don’t have to send too many people.”
"Listen to me. As long as we set up ambushes in a few places, we can use the force of 10,000 people to block the 50,000-strong army of the Western Fortress and defeat the larger force with a smaller one."
"If they come with 100,000 men, the remaining 50,000 will be in the city, and we can use the troops that my uncle just asked my subordinates to deploy in the city to deal with them."
"In this way, the number of casualties can be greatly reduced."
"Including those in the city, there are no more than 30,000!"
Deng Youning is very confident.
Everyone was also very interested.
"Then tell me how to deploy it. I want to hear whether it is reasonable or not."
General Han couldn't wait any longer and urged.
Deng Youning smiled faintly and looked at Li Tianzhuo with a sly smile.
Li Tianzhuo felt a little scared when he saw it.
"Azhuo, among all of us, you are the only one who is eloquent and has a sharp tongue."
"Take a group of people to guard the entrance of the canyon. If you see the Western Army, scold them and make them come in to kill you. Make sure they come in. Otherwise, all the subsequent preparations will be in vain!"
Deng Youning said this as he inserted a small red flag at the entrance of the canyon.
Li Tianzhuo looked at her with a dark face.
Are you eloquent, sharp-tongued, and able to curse?
So in Ning Ning's mind, this is how he is? !
He closed his eyes helplessly and gave Deng Youning a look that said "You're done tonight."
Deng Youning completely ignored him and pretended not to see it.
She took another small red flag and found the narrowest place in Tianxing Canyon on the sand table and stuck it there.
"My cousin has designed a rockfall trap here, let's kill a group of people first."
"The rest will be shot to death by the archers lying in ambush on the top of the cliff."
Hearing this, Han Xian and General Han's eyes lit up.
Ningning really has a solution!
“Great!”
General Han praised it highly.
“When they pass that place, they will come to a spring.”
"As for me, I can poison that water."
"After the falling rocks and arrows, those who are still alive will definitely want to rest for a while by the stream."
"This is poisoned spring water. If they drink it, they will die!"
When Deng Youning said this, her whole face was gloomy.
The three people present sighed, fortunately they were her family, not enemies!
"Finally, let Lao Geng lead his men to guard the entrance of the canyon. Try to kill one if one comes. If two come, kill a pair. Make sure the thugs from the West Base never come back."
"But don't force him. If they really can't solve the problem, let them pass through and enter the city."
"Let my great uncle and General Nangong take charge of the city together and make sure that not a single corpse of them remains!"
Deng Youning spoke with great enthusiasm.
Even just listening to it, a few people felt their fighting spirit was high.
Li Tianzhuo didn't expect that Deng Youning actually included Lao Geng and Nangong.
Imperceptibly, she and Li Tianzhuo have become one, and everything that belongs to Li Tianzhuo is also hers.
Let her use and drive you.
"To catch a thief, we must first catch the leader. The leader of this team is most likely one of General Zhu's three grandsons. Everyone remember, if you see any of the three of them, you must free up your hands to deal with them."
Deng Youning added another sentence with concern.
Everyone nodded.
