"Everyone, this is the situation we are facing now!"
After Guan Xiaoxi pointed at the map and explained the current situation facing the army to the ten division commanders and Peng Yuyan, he raised his head and glanced at everyone, then said:
"When the Emperor spoke of Europe once, he said there were many countries on the continent, but he didn't know the exact number. But now the news is that the European continent was unified by the 24-year-old Maria II in just three years..."
"Of course, this is far inferior to what our Emperor Retired did in just over a month to unify the five kingdoms, but for a woman to be able to do this, we absolutely cannot underestimate her!"
"Also, that guy Wellis said that Her Majesty the Queen could predict the future... It's a bit unbelievable, but it seems to be true. Wellis said that even many people in the Seleucid Empire knew that an army from the East would arrive in this land."
"I've been thinking all along that the so-called prophecy is unreliable. It must be that three years ago, Frankie's fleet was destroyed by our Great Xia, and some of his men escaped. This caught Her Majesty's attention, and that's why she's worried about our expedition."
"It's obvious she's prepared. Otherwise, why would she only have four legions, 800,000 men, in Bamor City when her entire army has eight legions totaling 1.6 million men?"
"This is likely to be the toughest battle of our trip. Our air force's ammunition is insufficient to pose an overwhelming threat to Bamor City, so we must change our tactics for this battle!"
Guan Xiaoxi looked at the map on the table again, his finger landing on the Bilis Mountains. He thought for a moment, "This mountain range is enormous. Our troops are extremely skilled in mountain warfare. How can we lure the enemy out of the city and eliminate them in this mountain range?"
"Tell me what you think."
The generals frowned slightly. Yu Dingshan pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, if we want to lure the enemy out of the city, we must provoke them..."
"How about this? I will lead the First Division to the city gates and engage in a verbal battle. If the enemy opens the gates and pursues us, I will feign defeat and retreat."
Guan Xiaoxian shook his head. "Bamor City is quite far from the Bilis Mountains. If you retreat, the enemy may not pursue you."
Yu Dingshan thought about it and nodded. The enemy had Bamoler City to defend, but their side had to break through Bamoler City before continuing to advance westward. There was no need for the enemy to fight a battle with Daxia in the plains or mountains.
Yu Dinghe's eyes lit up and he said, "How about this? Under the cover of darkness, we can use airships to drop a commando force into Bamoler City and execute a decapitation plan!"
"If we kill the enemy commander, perhaps we can arouse the enemy's anger."
Guan Xiaoxi leaned on the low table with both hands, analyzing whether Yu Dinghe's plan was feasible.
The First Army of the Great Xia Army is a veteran army of the Great Xia Army. Almost all the soldiers in it are proficient in light work, which is their advantage.
The predecessor of the First Army of the Great Xia Army was the Divine Sword Army, which had extremely strong individual combat capabilities. If a thousand-man assault force was formed, its lethality should not be underestimated.
The problem now is that the spies of Tianji Pavilion seem to have no way to send out the news from Bamor City. If they don't know the hiding place of the enemy commander, it is almost impossible for 500 people to enter such a huge city and accurately find the enemy leader.
Faced with this turtle shell, the generals fell silent, because this bone was indeed not easy to chew, and Guan Xiaoxi hoped to take it by clever means rather than by force, as his troops could not afford too much casualties.
Peng Yuyan spoke up at this time: "The enemy is heavily guarded. It's difficult for Li Changshu, the captain of the Tianji Pavilion's expeditionary intelligence team, and his men to get out. How about this, I go to Bamor City."
"No!" Guan Xiaoxi rejected Peng Yuyan's proposal for the first time. "Our Oriental faces are too different from theirs. And now it's wartime. As long as you show up in Bamor City, you will be in great danger."
"Wait two more days. Li Changshu and the others are professional spies. Let's see if they can find a way to get out."
"...Or, I can lead a thousand commandos into the city and cause a disturbance. That way, Li Changshu and the others will know we're here. Maybe he'll send someone to contact us."
Guan Xiaoxi was about to deny it again when Peng Yuyan said, "A thousand men are nothing compared to a city with a population of a million. Our small number allows us to be more flexible and maneuverable, and we are also good at street fighting. It won't be easy for the enemy to catch us. As long as we can get intelligence from this city, all this will be worth it!"
Although that is what they say, everyone knows that it is easy for these thousand people to get in, but it is very difficult for them to get out alive!
It is more like a suicide squad than a commando team.
"There are always sacrifices in war. We can't stop here because we don't know where Fu Xiaoguan is now."
Peng Yuyan said seriously, "Although we didn't agree on a time to reunite when we formulated this expedition plan, fighting on both land and sea fronts simultaneously, the best outcome would of course be for the army to capture the enemy's capital. Only then can we declare victory in the war."
"We can't let this city stop us. The Goshawk Sword Flag... Wherever the Goshawk goes, the Sword points. Wherever the Goshawk can reach, the Sword will destroy, conquer, and occupy that place! This is the soul of the Great Xia Army! Don't be afraid!"
Guan Xiaoxi looked into Peng Yuyan's eyes, and he recalled the scene in Fengming Mountain when Fu Xiaoguan drew this military flag.
At that time, He Sandao was still alive and well.
Fu Xiaoguan asked He Sandao what the meaning of the flag was. He Sandao said... If we run out of food when we go to war in the future, we can kill eagles to eat!
Guan Xiaoxi showed a smile on his face. Fu Xiaoguan asked him again what the meaning of this flag was. He answered that it was exactly where the eagle flies and the magic sword points!
Now that the Great Xia hawk has flown to the entrance of Europe, the divine sword must tear open the hole, tear it apart, destroy the enemy, conquer and occupy this mighty city!
"I command!"
All the generals stood up.
"Except for the First Division, the remaining nine divisions will march to the outskirts of Bamor City with great fanfare and deploy their troops outside the enemy's artillery range!"
"The Second Division is selecting a thousand men to form a commando team, led by General Peng himself!"
"Everyone in the First Division, prepare for takeoff. Two airships will transport the commandos to Bamor City, and the remaining airships will provide cover fire from the air!"
"Execute immediately!"
All the generals received the order and left the commander's tent, but Yu Dingshan stayed.
"Mom, I'm going!"
"No, I'll go. I'm a skilled martial artist, so it won't be too difficult for me to leave Bamor City. Besides, if I can get in touch with the people from Tianji Pavilion in the city, I might even be able to kill the enemy leader."
"Mother hasn't killed anyone in many years. She's been living in Chi Le Chuan all these years. Although she's never touched a sword, she's unknowingly broken through to the Saint level..."
"Don't worry, Mom is much more capable than your dad. Wait for good news from Mom!"
