“Mr. Wei, Zhao Hu has just recovered from a serious illness. Although he has made some breakthroughs in martial arts, he is still not as good as my younger brother and the two generals. If you wish to implement a clever plan, I am willing to stay and guard the city gate to support you all.”
Although Zhao Hu also possessed martial arts skills, he was certainly not as formidable as Zhao Yun, who had received instruction from a renowned master.
Furthermore, Zhao Hao promised to help them make a breakthrough after this battle, and they didn't know what kind of merit they would need to deserve such an opportunity.
Therefore, Zhao Hu only wanted to leave more credit and opportunities to his young, brave, and promising younger brother, not because he was afraid of death and wanted to push his younger brother into danger.
"Since General Zhao Feng is so frank, then I, Zhang, will not be so polite as to refuse!"
"Me too! Old Lieutenant, if you have any good ideas, tell me quickly!"
Both men were brave warriors, and they had sparred with Zhao Yun before. They were impressed by how skilled this member of Zhao Hao's clan was at such a young age.
“Master Wei Liao, I have been serving under my cousin for some time now. The enemy is about to breach the city, and I have yet to achieve any merit. I humbly request your guidance, and I will never forget your kindness!”
"Haha, Brother Zilong, you really know how to talk. Old Captain, we're the same!"
Wei Liao nodded slightly, his gaze burning as he looked at the sand table in front of him. He picked up two small flags, one black and one green, and began to simulate the scene.
"Our army's formation is roughly the same as that of the Xianbei army."
Wei Liao sparsely planted the small black flags on the two small hills.
Meanwhile, the green flags representing the Xianbei army were densely planted throughout the northern part of the black flag formation.
"Gentlemen, although the Xianbei are numerous, their army formation has not learned from the experience of their previous defeat and is still arranged in the same way as before."
Upon hearing Wei Liao's words, the four generals nodded in agreement.
"Um, Captain, although I understand every word you say, what impact does it have if they don't change the overall layout of the army?"
Meng Ben was a typical brute, and apart from him, the others had already understood the hidden meaning in Wei Liao's words.
"Mr. Wei, I am not very talented, but could it be that you wish for us to emulate our cousin's method of achieving fame in his first battle and launch a surprise attack on their camp? Our cousin took advantage of the Xiongnu's exhaustion during the siege and led his cavalry in a charge. If we were to follow suit... taking advantage of the Xianbei's unstable foothold would indeed be feasible!"
Wei Liao nodded in satisfaction, "General Zilong truly lives up to his reputation as a member of the clan valued by the young master; he is indeed intelligent!"
Then Wei Liao casually picked up a black dragon flag and planted it slightly forward in the sand.
"Although the enemy army is numerous, judging from their banners and flags, it is clear that their orders are inconsistent and their implementation is uneven. However, this alone is not enough to prompt the generals to send troops to attack."
Ladies and gentlemen, please look here.
Looking at where Wei Liao was pointing, the four generals seemed to be deep in thought.
In the end, it was Zhao Feng, who had personally witnessed the Xianbei camp, who was the first to recognize what that place was.
"Mr. Wei, this place is... the encampment of the Xianbei Mohuba tribe?"
Wei Liao smiled and nodded, "Brother Zihu truly lives up to his reputation as the commander-in-chief personally appointed by the young master. He has indeed memorized the intelligence of the enemy forces."
"Not at all, not at all. It's my duty to be loyal to the emperor while I'm paid."
"Yes, as Brother Zihu said, this place belongs to the Xianbei Mohuba tribe. If we use ordinary methods to attack the camp, the Xianbei people may be prepared."
However, if an attack were launched against Mohuba's forces, the effect would be completely different!
Everyone frowned slightly, and Zhao Hu asked in confusion.
"Could this person be a spy planted by the young master within the Xianbei?"
Wei Liao shook his head. "No, this person is not a spy planted by the young master. It's just that his various tribes have gained huge profits through trade in You and Bing provinces, which makes him dare not be an enemy of the young master."
As long as our army launches a surprise attack on their unit, they will surely flee at the mere sight of us and dare not engage in battle.
At that time, the bandits, affected by the rout of Mohuba's troops, will surely have their morale completely shattered. Our army can then launch a fierce attack on their weak points, and we will undoubtedly reap even greater rewards!
Zhao Yun clapped his hands suddenly, his eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit.
“I understand what you mean! In my name, I will charge into Mohuba’s forces. His people will be the first to be hit, and when they see the Zhao banner, they will flee in panic.”
The various Xianbei tribes' camps, battered by the rout, will surely tremble with fear at the sight of our army. Our army need only seize the opportunity to destroy their supply wagons and tents, and we will surely throw the enemy army into chaos.
Afterwards, as long as our soldiers do not linger in battle or seek personal glory, and withdraw as soon as possible, they will be able to return to the pass safely.
After this is accomplished, the morale of our troops will soar, while the morale of the rebel forces will plummet. Once your great undertaking is complete, the rebel army will surely be defeated!
Everyone immediately understood that Wei Liao's arrangement was so beneficial to the overall situation, and they immediately clapped and cheered.
"General Zilong is absolutely right. Not only that, if our army makes any move, the troops stationed here will certainly not hold back and will instead join forces to press the enemy!"
This time, if our army's number of assassins against the Xianbei exceeds 50,000, then the prince's plan might be completed ahead of schedule!
Upon hearing this, the generals were no longer puzzled.
The five men clenched their fists and discussed their plan for tonight!
...
"My lady, a scout reports that the Xianbei army has arrived at the new pass of Yanmen. A rough estimate suggests that the rebels number over 300,000. Zhao Feng, the garrison commander of Yanmen, has decided to launch a surprise attack on the rebels tonight."
My subordinate suggests that our entire cavalry force be deployed to demonstrate the might of our all-female army!
After hearing Li Xiuning's military intelligence report, Liu Tong nodded slightly.
Although she is now the commander of the Women's Army, all three thousand of its soldiers are heroines trained by Li Xiuning.
Therefore, she also needed to establish her authority through military achievements. Otherwise, merely having the title of commander would not be enough to win the hearts and minds of her soldiers.
