Chapter 177 Strategy
Then he looked at another location on the map, pointed his finger and continued:
"These intersections are close together, so we need to send people with explosives and archers to set up an ambush nearby. Lieutenant General Guo will lead the troops in this area."
This place is surrounded by hills on both sides, making it an absolutely perfect place for an ambush.
It was precisely because of this that Yu Mengqing asked Guo Yalun to lead his troops to ambush here.
It can be said that even God is helping them. This location can be said to be the intersection closest to the battlefield.
If Man Jingzi wants to get to the battlefield quickly, he must pass through this intersection.
If you take another intersection, it will be dozens of miles farther.
They must be reinforcements. Every minute they are late could lead to an accident on the battlefield.
In this case, this intersection will be the only way they can pass.
Yu Mengqing also noticed this, so she asked Guo Yalun to lead his troops to ambush here.
"General Xue will lead the troops to attack the city gate, and Lieutenant General Cui and I will handle the battlefield. Barring any unexpected events, they shouldn't send too many people to guard the city gate this time."
"So, if we can capture Pingyuan County in one go, that would be best. If not, then don't hold on and just retreat."
"The reason I'm fighting this way is because I'm engaging in psychological warfare. This is our first battle, and I suspect they'll focus on the battlefield and ignore the battle at the city gate."
"So, now is the best time for us to attack the city gate, but I'm just playing psychological warfare. I'm not demanding that we take it down. I won't force it. Just try your best."
When saying this, Yu Mengqing looked directly at Xue Zhonggui.
Even though she was wearing a veil, her eyes that seemed to see through everything were looking straight at him.
The meaning in her eyes was very clear. If he didn't agree, she would not send him to attack the city.
Helpless, Xue Zhonggui had to nod and agree.
"Mengqing, what about us?" Xue Zhonglan asked quickly, pointing at himself.
"You will ambush with Guo Yalun." Yu Mengqing made the final decision.
I have to say that Xue Zhonglan is actually very suitable for ambushes.
She is quiet in nature and is more patient than Guo Peiying.
"What about me?" Guo Peiying pointed at herself and asked anxiously.
Although her martial arts skills are not as good as Xue Zhonglan's, they are also above average. Why hasn't she heard about Yu Mengqing's arrangements for her yet?
Could it be that she had no intention of making any arrangements for herself?
The more Guo Peiying thought about it, the more she felt that this was what Yu Mengqing meant.
Yu Mengqing glanced sideways at Guo Pei and said helplessly, "Just follow General Xue to attack the city."
"ah?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Yu Mengqing asked lightly.
When saying this, Yu Mengqing's eyes clearly showed: If you have any objections, don't go.
Guo Peiying: “…” She wanted to say, why did she hear a perfunctory feeling in Yu Mengqing’s tone?
Yu Mengqing: You heard it right, I was just trying to fool you.
Then Yu Mengqing pointed to the map and continued:
"This intersection, this one, and this one too. We need to pay special attention to these three places. These are the nearest entrances for the Manjing Kingdom to attack the city. As long as we block these intersections, it will be much easier for us to attack the city gate."
For Yu Mengqing, guarding these intersections would mean guarding Xue Zhengui's chance to attack the city.
As long as no reinforcements arrive for Man Jingzi and Xue Zhengui has explosives on him, attacking the city will be much easier.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Guo Yalun and asked, "Are you confident?"
You know, everything Yu Mengqing arranged can be said to be closely linked.
Although Guo Yalun is not fighting against the Zhengguo of Manjing State here, it can be said to be crucial.
He blocked the intersection, so it was naturally impossible for Man Jingzi to receive reinforcements.
Then she can better control them on the battlefield.
For Xue Zhonggui who was attacking the city gate, it was a hundred benefits with no harm.
Hearing Yu Mengqing's words, Guo Yalun nodded without hesitation.
If it were in the past, Guo Yalun might not have the confidence that he could block these intersections.
But now that he has explosives, he is still very confident in blocking these intersections.
Cui Guanru, who was standing by, was hearing such tactics for the first time.
But I have to say that this tactic is really perfect and impeccable.
Whether it is strategy, attack, or assistance, it is all-round defense.
Compared with the War King Chu Shiheng of that year, it can be said that he is even worse than him.
There is even a tendency to surpass him.
At this time, Cui Guanru had to say that the emperor's decision to send Yu Mengqing to the battlefield was the most correct one.
Yu Mengqing didn’t know what Cui Guanru was thinking, otherwise she would definitely ask: Does your face hurt?
However, Yu Mengqing had no time to care about anything else at this time. Once the attack was launched on the battlefield, it would be out of control.
Moreover, this was Yu Mengqing's first war as a general.
This was also her first battle representing Chu Shiheng, and it was of great significance.
Of course, for Yu Mengqing, neither the battlefield nor the intersection is as important as attacking the city gate.
As long as the city gate is attacked, there is a great chance of capturing the city.
After all, isn't the main purpose of fighting so many wars to recapture the city?
Now that the city is captured, the war can be said to be won.
However, Yu Mengqing wanted more than just to capture the city; she also wanted all her generals to be safe.
Otherwise, she would rather not take the city for the time being.
The saying "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood" is not without reason.
As long as you save your life, the city can be recaptured at any time.
This is why Yu Mengqing reminded Xue Zhonggui just now.
She didn't want all the generals, including herself, to die in the attempt to capture the city.
For Yu Mengqing, the most important thing is life, because life is only once.
Human life can be said to be extremely precious. Yu Mengqing, who traveled from the end of the world, can be said to have a deep understanding of this.
"General Yu, if you send them all out, it will be just you and me on the battlefield. I'm afraid..."
Cui Guanru on the side whispered a reminder.
Of course, Cui Guanru didn’t say anything else.
No matter how confident he was in Yu Mengqing, this was a woman going to the battlefield, against the three brothers Yang Zangzi of the Manjing Kingdom.
It's basically impossible to win.
What's more, she wanted to take someone's life. I always felt that she was thinking too simply about the three Yang Zangzi brothers.
No matter how powerful Yu Mengqing is, even if I join them, I can't be their match.
