Leng Kui asked: "Tuoba Lie has 30,000 troops at his disposal. Are you sure you want to fight him?"
Ten thousand versus thirty thousand, the disadvantage in military strength is too great.
Leng Zhao was actually worried about his son again. Was Qin Canglan doing this on purpose? Was he trying to use his military merits to motivate the Leng family to jump into a trap so that they would die?
"Grandfather, I'm sure!" Leng Hua said without hesitation.
Leng Kui's eyes swept over Qin Canglan and Wei Ting: "Marshal Qin, General Wei, do you two have any objections?"
Qin Canglan looked at Wei Ting and said, "You go to Mangshan."
Wei Ting smiled faintly: "Okay, I have no objection."
The Leng family, these idiots, are judging others by their own standards. Do they think that Tuoba Lie's 30,000 troops are easy to deal with? Tuoba Lie's army was demoralized and suffered a few defeats. Do the Leng family think that Tuoba Lie is a soft persimmon?
Tuoba Lie lost so badly that he has no way out. This time it is a fight with his back to the wall, and he will do his best.
Qin Canglan assigned the most difficult task to his own people and never thought about whether he would gain military merit or not.
"Your Highness Prince Liang?" Leng Kui handed the final decision to Xiao Duye.
Xiao Duye didn't know how to deploy troops, so since both sides agreed, he had nothing to say: "Let's do it this way. Wei Ting goes to Mangshan, and Leng Hua goes to kill Tuoba Lie. What about Helian Ye? How should we deal with it?"
Qin Canglan pointed to the valley on the sand table and said, "The main forces will fight head-on in the valley. Both sides will use cavalry as the vanguard. The Divine Archer Battalion will occupy the high ground on both sides of the valley, but the time left for the Divine Archer Battalion is very limited. The cavalry is fast. From the time Helian Ye's vanguard cavalry enters the range to the time the cavalry of both sides fight each other, they can't shoot many rounds. We must ensure that every arrow hits the target."
This was said to Wei Ting.
The soldiers in the Divine Bow Battalion were under his command, and he understood the combat capability of the Divine Bow Battalion best.
Wei Ting nodded solemnly: "No problem."
Qin Canglan said: "General Leng and Su Mo led their troops to attack the left and right wings of the main force of Northern Yan respectively."
Leng Kui asked: "How do you plan to allocate the troops?"
Qin Canglan said: "Wei Ting will have 10,000 troops to attack Mangshan, Leng Hua will have 10,000 troops to lure Tuoba Lie to his death, and I will lead 20,000 Qin family cavalry and 10,000 Red Shadow Army to face Helian Ye's main force head-on. The remaining 40,000 troops will be divided equally between the left and right wings."
Leng Kui frowned.
Qin Canglan took in his expression and asked, "Do you have any objection?"
Leng Kui said, "Isn't it too far-fetched to use 10,000 troops against Tuoba Lie's 30,000? I think we should at least give them 20,000 troops. As long as we kill them quickly enough, we can rush to the valley to help immediately after we have dealt with Tuoba Lie."
Wei Ting said calmly: "If you Leng family can't kill him, I will do it!"
Leng Kui snorted coldly: "Young man, it's good to be arrogant, but this is a battlefield. There are civilians in Jia County who have not evacuated. We can't take risks with the safety of the civilians. I will allocate 10,000 troops to Leng Hua!"
Xiao Duye also felt that ten thousand against thirty thousand was too much of a stretch, especially since Leng Kui had said that the safety of the people could not be risked. It would have been fine if he hadn't said it out loud, but now that it was out in the open, if he didn't send more troops, wouldn't it mean that he didn't care about the lives of the people?
He said, "Then let's follow General Leng's plan and give Leng Hua 20,000 troops."
There were only 10,000 troops left on the left wing, which was too risky, so Su Mo allocated 5,000 troops to Leng Kui.
…
After coming out of Xiao Duye's tent, Qin Canglan took Wei Ting and Su Mo back to his own tent. A little soldier in armor was sitting at the table, gnawing on a walnut.
When he saw her, the sharpness in Qin Canglan's eyes suddenly faded away, replaced by an endless layer of tenderness and pampering.
"Xiaoxiao."
He came over.
Su Xiaoxiao's cheeks puffed up: "Are you done talking?"
"That's about right." Qin Canglan rubbed Su Xiaoxiao's head and sat down beside her.
Su Mo quickly grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's other side, and Wei Ting, his dear husband, was forced to squeeze to the opposite side.
Qin Canglan sighed: "The Leng family is unwilling to give up Tuoba Lie, this piece of fat meat, and they have to let Leng Hua chew it."
Su Xiaoxiao finished eating the walnut in her mouth: "Tuoba Lie is not fat meat, but a piece of air-dried bacon. Leng Hua had better be able to chew it."
People who risk everything on one throw are very scary. Tuoba Lie has no way out. If he doesn't make some achievements, he will be dealt with by Helian Ye when he returns.
"But Leng Hua is quite brave." Su Mo commented objectively.
He had been to the battlefield with Leng Hua. Leng Hua was a bit ambitious, but he was not a man who gained fame for nothing. Compared to Leng Jue, at least he had some real skills.
In addition, his stance is different from Leng Kui's. He advocates war, so he will definitely do his best to deal with Tuoba Lie.
"Leng Hua has 20,000 soldiers. As long as nothing goes wrong, there won't be any problems." Qin Canglan looked at Wei Ting, "How many archers do you have?"
Wei Ting said: "Two thousand."
The remaining eight thousand are elite soldiers who charge into battle.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "The Red Shadow Army also has several powerful archers who can be transferred over."
"Yes." Qin Canglan nodded, "More than two thousand should be enough."
There is no room for standing on any more mountains.
Su Xiaoxiao continued: "Leng Ziling should have entered the border of Northern Yan, right? Fusu has not been exposed, right?"
Wei Ting thought for a moment and said, "Leng Ziling didn't fight you very often, and you were always wearing armor. Fusu, be careful, and the possibility of being exposed is not high."
The original plan was to let Yuchi Xiu disguise himself as Su Xiaoxiao, but firstly, Yuchi Xiu was too tall, and secondly, that guy was too tough. If you asked him to wear a human skin mask, it would be torn off in minutes.
Wei Ting said to Su Xiaoxiao: "You'd better not reveal your identity for now."
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "I won't be exposed. I will hide in the Divine Archer Camp and be a low-key archer."
Wei Ting said seriously: "Do you still want to go to the battlefield?"
Su Xiaoxiao pinched a walnut and said, "The archers are not fighting, they are just standing on the mountain and shooting a few arrows."
Wei Ting said seriously: "You didn't even ask my daughter if she agrees?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's in my stomach, so it has to go if I go! Also, why must it be my daughter?"
Wei Ting snorted: "It's just my daughter."
There are already three naughty little brats, and this time it must be a fat little kid who plays with my feet!
Little Fatty, Little Fatty, Little Fatty! Su Mo smiled: "Nephew or niece, I like them all. As long as they are my sister's children, they must be very cute."
Su Xiaoxiao said to Wei Ting: "Did you hear that? This is what human beings say."
Wei Ting: Su Mo, come out and fight! "Let Xiao Xiao go." Qin Canglan said. He was the only one who was still in the right situation and had not been led astray.
If we don't let her go, she will go secretly on her own. It's better to have her there openly and under our noses so that at least we know where she is.
Su Mo said: "I also agree to let my sister go."
Wei Ting: So I'm the only one who disagrees with her, right?
Wei Ting finally did not insist. After all, once a war broke out, there would be no place that was absolutely safe. Even the military camps in the city might be engulfed in flames.
Qin Canglan made the decision and said, "It's settled. The army will set out at dawn!"
