Chapter 184 Zeng Anmin: I have a plan!
The news Zeng Anmin brought to Weiguogong Tian Ji shocked the hearts of all the generals in the tent.
"Attack... and occupy... Bifeng Valley?!"
Just five simple words.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zeng Anmin.
When Tian Ji heard his subordinates' disbelief, he came to his senses. He held his sword tremblingly and walked towards Zeng Anmin step by step.
His lips trembled as he tried to say something.
But Zeng Anmin interrupted him by waving the feather fan in his hand:
"There's no joking in the army."
As he spoke, Zeng Anmin's voice also became deeper:
"I will never deceive the Duke."
"only……"
He pursed his lips, his voice filled with sadness:
"Dean Qin, die together with Bi Xuan..."
As he spoke, he told Tian Ji everything that happened on the Bilu Road that day.
But the role of a lone man standing guard over the enemy was replaced by the eldest princess in his mouth.
He just cooperated with the princess to kill the Mongoose Demon King who suddenly appeared.
Of course, he also communicated these words with the eldest princess.
The eldest princess also nodded in agreement.
So it will never be exposed.
"President Qin..."
When Tian Ji heard Zeng Anmin's words, a daze flashed in his eyes.
He sighed with regret:
"President Qin sacrificed his own life in exchange for our Great Saint Dynasty's exclusive possession of Baideng Mountain..."
At this point, he looked up to the sky and sighed:
"He is truly an unrivaled national hero!!"
After saying this, he turned around abruptly, looked at Zeng Anmin with burning eyes and said:
"Don't worry, Minister Quan. I will present the results of the engagement to Your Majesty. Qin Yuan's sacrifice will not be in vain!"
"Your contributions will also be rewarded truthfully."
Zeng Anmin didn't say much. He wanted to say something but was interrupted.
"Commander Zeng, even if Qin Yuan killed the Bixuan Demon King, as far as I know, the Bixuan tribe still has 50,000 demon soldiers."
"Five thousand Yuanyang soldiers against fifty thousand..."
A voice rang out.
There was a hint of doubt in his voice.
Although Zeng Anmin's words were very certain, he still had some doubts.
Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows and looked at the person who spoke.
Then I saw a round-faced man looking over here with a puzzled look.
After the round-faced man finished speaking, he realized that he had spoken out of turn. He quickly bowed to Zeng Anmin and said:
"I was in a hurry and made some inappropriate remarks. It's not that I'm suspicious, but in my opinion, with Commander Zeng's wisdom, he must have anticipated the huge disparity between the enemy and us. Why did he come up with such a bold idea to attack Bifeng Valley directly..."
After seeing Zeng Anmin's expression, the round-faced general quickly explained.
"Good question."
Zeng Anmin nodded faintly towards the person who asked the question:
"After Zeng made this suggestion, the princess also asked Zeng the same question."
Having said that, he sneered:
"But the difference in military numbers has never been within Zeng's consideration."
"Even before the Yuanyang Army was formed, Zeng said that from now on, the battlefield in the mountains would be a completely different place for attack and defense!"
"If the enemy goes there, I can go there too!"
After saying this, Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and looked at Tian Jidao:
“Despise the enemy strategically, but take him seriously tactically.”
"Zeng is not a brainless person."
"After the battle at Bilu Road, my five thousand Yuanyang soldiers did not stop for a moment and rushed to Bifeng Valley with the force of thunder."
"Besides, Bixuan has just died. Even if the demon soldiers from Biludao returned with a report after being defeated, they would not attract the attention of the demons from Bixuan's tribe."
“It’s a matter of time.”
"If Bixuan had been dead for half a month, or even a month, the enemy would surely become suspicious."
"And I wouldn't dare take that risk."
"But what I really want is to create this time difference!"
"The goal was to catch the enemy off guard, and achieving this result was within Zeng's expectations."
Zeng Anmin sorted out all the thoughts in his mind one by one.
After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists and bowed towards the distance:
"Luckily, the princess is willing to trust Zeng."
"That's why we were able to achieve such a great victory in Bifeng Valley."
After saying that.
Zeng Anmin breathed a sigh of relief and looked in the direction of the army.
And every word he said was heard by the generals in the tent.
They all stared at him in amazement.
A look of confusion flashed across everyone's eyes.
"Commander Zeng, is this really your first time leading troops?"
Only Tian Ji stared at Zeng Anmin intently, as if he was admiring a treasure in the world.
I wish my mouth would water...
Zeng Anmin didn't care about the reactions of the generals, his eyes looked into the distance.
At that time.
The city of Guangnan County had already become shaky under the siege of the Holy Army.
But it still stands firm in the world, showing its unruly nature to the world.
The siege battle under the city has reached a fever pitch.
But every wave of soldiers who tried to attack the top of the city wall were either drowned by the golden soup or knocked down by huge rocks.
Accompanied by a huge crash sound.
There were also the screams of the soldiers attacking the city.
It's like hell on earth.
"The matter of military rations cannot be delayed any longer. I will return to Mount Baideng and lead my troops to deliver the rations."
After saying this, Zeng Anmin's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance:
"My Lord, I have an idea. I wonder if it can be used."
"Tell me about it."
In Tian Ji's eyes, Zeng Anmin is now the future successor.
Even a future star who can surpass all the famous generals in ancient times.
What Ji Qing?
What princess?
What Queen of Jiang Kingdom?
None of them can compare to a single hair of Zeng Anmin.
Therefore, he had considerable patience with Zeng Anmin at this time.
"If our army does not have any food delivered within seven days."
"It caused great chaos in the army."
"There is a hidden danger of a camp whistle."
"Plus, there are many demon soldiers coming down from the south on Baideng Road with demonic energy..."
"Our army is under attack from both sides."
"Will the King of Nan in Guangnan County risk opening the city gates and attacking our army?"
Zeng Anmin looked straight at Tian Ji.
"If this were truly a crisis, not to mention the Southern King of Guangnan Commandery, even the renowned and steadfast general Liu Zhun would be tempted..."
After hearing this, Tian Ji smiled:
"The shortage of military rations might still make him suspicious, but if he saw the demonic energy rising from behind our army..."
"Adding these two together, how could we possibly hold on to such a good opportunity?"
"Oh~"
Zeng Anmin nodded slowly.
His eyes narrowed and he looked towards Tian Ji:
"If I had the ability, what if I could make the evil spirit behind our army soar to the sky?"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone in the tent suddenly looked towards Zeng Anmin.
Zeng Anmin remained calm. He slowly raised his head and looked at Tian Ji calmly:
"In the battle of Bifeng Valley, our army beheaded 20,000 demons and captured over 4,000."
"These four thousand demons are now all at the mercy of the chopping board."
"Tie them all up, wait for the right moment, drive them down the mountain and towards our army..."
Tian Jimeng took over the conversation and looked at Zeng Anmin excitedly:
"It must be a scene filled with demonic energy that stirs the heavens!!"
"By then, the Eastern Sect practitioners and Confucianists in Guangnan County will surely notice this and report it to the King of the South!"
"It's impossible for him not to be moved!"
Tian Ji's breathing became heavy.
feasible!
A completely feasible strategy to lure the enemy!!
"If he dares to open the city gate, our army can simply send a few warriors of the fifth rank or above under cover of darkness to destroy the gate mechanism, making it impossible for him to close the gate once he has opened it..."
Tian Ji has even followed Zeng Anmin's line of thought and added the follow-up.
The more he spoke, the more excited his face became.
But just after he said half of the words, his brows furrowed tightly again:
"But the premise of all this is that military rations must be delivered in advance."
Speaking of this, his eyes slowly turned to Zeng Anmin:
"And our army's morale cannot be damaged in the slightest."
"But now the army only has enough food for four days."
Zeng Anmin nodded slowly, bowed to Tian Ji and said:
"I will understand this clearly."
"The most important thing now is how to transport the monster corpses and food from Bifeng Valley within four days."
"I can give you two thousand soldiers to help you transport them. If you put all your efforts into it, you may be able to arrive within four days."
After thinking about it, Tian Ji looked at Zeng Anmin with burning eyes.
"That's not necessary."
Zeng Anmin chuckled: "How can we not do some work for those four thousand demon army prisoners?"
After saying this, he said goodbye to Tian Ji:
"General Tian, I will return to Mount Baideng to prepare military provisions."
"I will be able to return within five days!"
"good!"
Tian Ji watched Zeng Anmin's back as he slowly left.
My fists clenched unconsciously.
"Why would such a talented general choose to become a Confucianist?!"
He looked at Zeng Anmin's back for a long time.
Finally, a long sigh came out of his mouth:
"If I had known his father a few years earlier, I would never have allowed this boy to learn literature, no matter what!"
…………
After returning to Baideng Mountain.
Zeng Anmin didn't waste any time and directly told the eldest princess all his plans with Tian Ji.
After hearing this, the eldest princess also realized that this was a great plan.
Without any hesitation, she asked Zeng Anmin to stay where he was and supervise the soldiers marching forward.
So he went alone at full speed towards Bifeng Valley.
As a fourth-rank warrior, the eldest princess traveled very quickly.
With her full effort, she reached the Bifeng Valley from the front road in just half a day.
After the eldest princess left.
The only thing Zeng Anmin could do was wait.
…
After the princess returned to Bifeng Valley, she directly ordered Wu Qianfeng to lead the Yuanyang Army to supervise the 4,000 demon captives in Bifeng Valley.
“Bang!!!”
As the whip fell.
The demon captives worked at an extremely fast speed.
They packed up nearly 20,000 corpses of their own kind.
I have to say that the ordinary little demons of the demon race are ugly.
But the strength is not small.
Compared with adult men, they are superior in every aspect.
Some demon soldiers with outstanding talents can even carry two demon corpses.
With the help of these demon captives.
The troops transporting food and fodder marched at a very fast speed.
Finally, before sunset on the fourth day.
The long grain transport team finally arrived at the road in front of Baideng Mountain.
Zeng Anmin looked at the listless demon soldiers.
Almost laughed out loud.
They really treat the demons as animals.
After these demon captives saw the place, some of them even threw themselves to the ground, gasping for breath.
"How can you treat prisoners of war like this?"
Zeng Anmin reprimanded Wu Qianfeng for a few words, comforted the prisoners of war with a few words, and then ordered the Yuanyang Army to keep them all under strict surveillance.
Then nearly a thousand Mandarin Duck Army soldiers came out, escorting 20,000 corpses of the demon clan towards Tian Ji's army.
…………
In Guangnan County.
Southern Palace.
Tian Ji's army's prolonged siege on the city caused panic among the people in the city.
At this time, in the Southern Prince's Mansion, a strong man was sitting between the main seats, staring wide-eyed as he listened to the report from the person below.
"Your Highness, I definitely didn't see it wrong. Even if I did, could I have smelled it wrong?"
"The aroma of meat wafting from the bandit Tian's army... can't be fake."
The person who reported it swore to do so.
“Eating…meat?!!!”
When the King of the South heard this, he was not surprised at all. Instead, a sneer slowly appeared on his face.
"The thieves have now run out of tricks and are killing people to make ends meet."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Your Highness the Southern Prince is right. Although our Jiang Nation reinforcements were unable to inflict any damage on the main force of the Tian bandits, after destroying their food supply routes, the Tian bandits must have been heartbroken..."
"Right now is the perfect time for our army to attack!!"
Someone looked at the Southern King with burning eyes, and there was joy in his voice.
"No rush."
The Southern King's eyes were deep. He slowly looked towards Tian Ji's army, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said:
"Since the Tian thieves have killed people to make food, I don't think they can last more than two days."
"In two days, the bandit army will be in chaos!"
"When he withdraws like a lost dog, it will be the perfect time for us to give him a good beating!!"
…………
Two days later.
night.
The days are getting hotter day by day.
Using 20,000 corpses of demon soldiers as military rations was actually a necessary measure.
Tian Ji naturally knew it too.
But he had no other choice.
This is the only choice he has.
If you don't want to lose all your efforts, you must fight your way out of the desperate situation.
His eyes are extremely deep.
Looking towards the direction of Baideng Mountain in the distance.
"It's time, it should be here."
As his voice fell.
Far away near the Baideng Mountain Forest, fires lit up one after another.
See the fire.
Duke Tian Ji of Weiguo's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ahhh~"
“Ouch!!!”
He even faintly heard the screams of the demons.
But, four thousand demon soldiers.
Even without morale, they were all prisoners.
When they gathered together, the kind of nauseating evil aura they emitted was also extremely huge.
"Tian Shuai, here I come."
Someone stood next to Tian Ji with a serious expression.
"Um."
Tian Ji nodded calmly: "Have you dug the isolation belt?"
"It's already been dug."
"Okay, the fire in the northern military camp can be set now."
"yes!!"
Not long.
The northernmost point of Tian Ji’s camp.
Flames shot up into the sky and there were countless shouts and cries of killing.
The howling of the demons became louder.
The sound was extremely chaotic.
…
Guangnan County.
On top of the city wall.
After receiving the news, Nan Wang got up in a hurry and walked out of the house without even having time to put on his shoes.
Soon, he led his subordinates to the top of the city wall.
When he saw the chaotic scene of fire at the northernmost part of Tian Ji's camp.
His face was full of shrewdness: "It seems that the bandit Tian is now at the end of his rope. Despite being in dire need of military rations, he has managed to hold on until now..."
"He is worthy of the title of a famous general of the Great Saint Dynasty."
"But today, you will still be defeated by this king!"
However, just as he was halfway through his words, he heard the person next to him say excitedly:
"Demonic energy!! Demonic energy surges to the sky!"
"Your Highness, the Southern King, the chaos in the northern part of the Tian Bandit Camp... is because of the demon tribe sweeping in!!"
"oh??"
Hear what he said.
King Nan's eyes suddenly lit up!
