Force back the Northern Huan army?
Everyone looked at Yun Zheng in surprise.
Chen Luoyan rolled her eyes at Yun Zheng and said, "You already thought that Beihuan would kill horses to replenish military rations. This shows that Beihuan is determined to fight us to a draw. How can they be forced to retreat so easily?"
Although the generals in the camp did not speak, they nodded secretly in agreement.
Beihuan had an army of 150,000. Even if they lost 30,000 or 40,000 in battle, they would still have over 100,000 troops.
Even if the Northern Army launched an all-out attack, it might not be able to force back the Northern Huan army of more than 100,000.
Besides, Wei Wenzhong would never dare to attack with his entire army.
Otherwise, if the war is lost, Shuobei will be in complete danger.
Yun Zheng’s idea is quite good!
But it may be difficult to achieve.
...
...
"It's definitely not possible to fight hard."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "We have to outsmart them!"
"Outsmart?" Yu Shizhong was slightly stunned, and then asked in astonishment: "Your Highness, are you planning to cross the Baishui River and launch a surprise attack on the rear of Beihuan?"
"What a surprise attack!"
Yun Zheng glared at him with amusement, "Beihuan has suffered so much, and they still don't know how to deploy troops to guard against our sneak attacks?"
It goes without saying that if Bei Huan dared to launch a large-scale frontal attack, they would definitely deploy troops to defend Langya Pass and Riftwind Canyon.
Otherwise, he could have directly assembled an army of 20,000 and marched into the heartland of Beihuan. When Beihuan's rear was empty of troops, he might have been able to raid the Beihuan royal court.
"So what is your highness going to do?"
Yu Shizhong asked curiously.
"It's easy to force back the Northern Huan army."
Yun Zheng rubbed his head and said with a headache: "The difficulty is how to deal a heavy blow to Beihuan! Beihuan killed many of our people in the battle the day before yesterday. If I don't kill some Beihuan people, I will not be happy!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked unhappy.
Now that the defenders of Suining Guard are trapped, it would be great if we could force back the Beihuan army and lift the siege of Suining Guard!
He still wants to inflict a heavy blow to Bei Huan?
What are you thinking about!
Du Guiyuan asked curiously, "What ingenious plan does Your Highness have?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Tell me first, if it were you, how would you save him?"
Everyone knew that Yun Zheng was testing them, and they immediately started to think hard.
Soon, Yu Shizhong had an idea.
"Have Wei Wenzhong withdraw troops from Dingbei and Tianhu to station in Jing'an Guard, pretending to retake Beiyuan Shoal, forcing Beihuan's central army to move over there, and we will take the opportunity to attack the Beihuan army on the south side of Suining Guard..."
Once they engage in battle with the army on the south side of Suining Guard, Suining Guard will definitely send troops.
In this way, they will form a pincer attack on the Beihuan army together with the army of Suining Guard, and should be able to defeat the Beihuan army located on the south side of Suining Guard.
In this way, the siege of Suining Wei was naturally lifted.
Miaoyin thought for a moment and subconsciously asked, "What if Beihuan's midfielder doesn't fall for it?"
"They have to be fooled!"
Yu Shizhong said confidently: "If they don't fall for it, the Jing'an Guards' army will turn the feint into a real attack and directly attack their other army, take back control of the Beiyuan Shoal, and cut off their retreat!"
Listening to Yu Shizhong's words, everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
To be honest, Yu Shizhong's plan has a high chance of success.
Shen Luoyan thought for a moment and said seriously: "Your plan is good, but if we really do this, I'm afraid it will expose our previous false reporting of war losses."
"That won't happen!"
Yun Zheng took over the conversation, "If you really do this, I will ask Wei Wenzhong to transfer Yuan Lie's 9,000 troops to me! In this way, we can easily gather an army of 20,000! The rest of the people will be just right to defend the city!"
As Yun Zheng's voice fell, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is a good idea!
Not only can it lift the siege of Suining Guard, but it can also take the opportunity to swallow up Yuan Lie's 9,000 troops!
Kill two birds with one stone!
"So you think this plan is feasible?"
Shen Luoyan asked.
“It is indeed possible.”
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, and suddenly changed the subject, "But this plan has a fatal problem!"
The fatal problem?
Everyone looked at Yun Zheng in surprise.
Isn’t this a good plan?
Where could there be a fatal problem?
Everyone thought for a long time, but still didn't know what the fatal problem Yun Zheng was talking about, and they all looked at Yun Zheng inquiringly.
"Keep thinking!"
Yun Zheng raised his eyes and scanned the crowd. "Just think about it, if the Beihuan army in the middle refuses to come back to support the army defending the Beiyuan shallows, what should we do?"
No help coming back?
Everyone was confused.
Hadn't they discussed this issue before?
If the Beihuan Central Army does not come back to provide support, are they just going to watch their retreat being cut off?
Do they think that with just that few people they can stop Da Gan's large army's sudden attack?
Yun Zheng raised his eyes and reminded everyone again, "Don't keep your eyes on the Beiyuan Shoal!"
Um?
Everyone was even more confused.
Beiyuan Shoal is the lifeline of the Beihuan army!
If not here, where should we focus?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Du Guiyuan suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "Splitting Wind Canyon!"
Riftwind Canyon?
Everyone was slightly stunned.
Why are we talking about Riftwind Canyon again?
Are the Beihuan people sick?
We have already suffered two heavy losses in Riftwind Canyon, and we still want to fight to the death in Riftwind Canyon?
Could it be that Bei Huan will launch another sneak attack from the Riftwind Canyon?
Would Bei Huan continue to fight against the Riftwind Gorge so mindlessly?
"I see!"
Lu Xing suddenly raised his head. "Your Highness and Commander Du mean that Beihuan must have guessed that we would follow Yu Shizhong's method to lift the siege of Suining Guard! Once we really do that, the Beihuan army may directly abandon the Beiyuan Shoal, concentrate the southern and central armies to attack us directly, and annihilate our troops in one fell swoop! If they can attack the city, they will take the opportunity to capture Shuofang! If not, their army will directly cross the Baishui River from the Liefeng Gorge and return to the Beihuan territory..."
Simply put, Beihuan besieged Suining Guard just to paralyze the Beifu Army!
Their real target is most likely Shuofang!
After listening to Lu Xing's analysis, everyone's faces suddenly changed.
Lu Xing’s guess is very likely to be true!
Beihuan’s siege of Suining Guard may very well be a trap!
Beihuan’s target is still the Shuofang Army that has caused them losses time and time again!
"good!"
Yun Zheng looked at Lu Xing approvingly, and added: "They may directly abandon Beiyuan Shoal and let the army retreat back to the side of the hill. But if Beihuan is confident enough, the army may very likely defend Beiyuan Shoal to the death to delay our army!"
"In this case, the Suining Guards' army will surely come out of the city to rescue us."
"Once they have defeated our troops, we will immediately turn around and attack the Suining Guards who are chasing us!"
"If they succeed in defeating the Suining Guards, no matter what happens at Beiyuan Shoal, the Beifu Army will basically be crippled. They might even be able to launch a counterattack!"
"This is a chain of plots! If they succeed, by the beginning of next spring, Dagan will be unable to fight again..."
