The battle in the canyon could hold off the enemy's 30,000 troops for two days.
Two days later, the 20,000 soldiers sent by Gu Mu to provide support should all arrive.
He went into Shen Ci's tent.
Looking at the battle map on the wall.
There were no markings on it, presumably because the maps that had been marked before were burned to prevent leaks.
Honestly,
Although Gu Mu transmigrated into the body of the main villain in a female-oriented novel.
But in his previous life, he was just an ordinary person.
I don't like reading books on military strategy.
I did study quite a few game guides.
Just like in the King of Glory game, if the opposing team has a strong player carrying them, then as long as you kill that player, you've already won half the game.
As the old saying goes, "To catch a thief, first catch the king."
Gu Mu knew that in terms of military strategy, General Meng and Shen Ci were probably both superior to him.
He was born in a peaceful era and is not good at this.
"To catch the thief, first catch the king. This is the strategy of warfare. I trust you and entrust the planning to you. I will do my best to kill the enemy's general," Gu Mu said calmly.
Don't meddle in things you're not good at.
Even if he is the regent who is above all others.
Sometimes, status does not equate to omnipotence.
Knowing how to use people effectively and how to exercise restraint are also skills.
General Meng and Shen Ci looked at Gu Mu with deep respect.
They originally thought that this young regent had established a formidable reputation at the top of the tower when the Empress Dowager launched a coup and the city was besieged by thousands of troops.
Such a person, wielding great power, must be young and arrogant.
Even before Gu Mu arrived, they were prepared for His Highness to give inappropriate instructions.
At that time, they will definitely plead for their lives, even at the cost of their heads, to explain the advantages and disadvantages to His Highness.
They still had confidence in the regent. He had provided disaster relief in Jiangnan and used penicillin to treat illnesses. They believed that His Highness was a wise ruler, but ultimately too young.
But unexpectedly, the regent had a maturity beyond his years.
At this point, they completely handed over the art of war to the professionals who had studied it since childhood.
They were truly grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
However, His Highness said he wanted to personally kill the enemy general...
"Your Highness, this is too dangerous," Shen Ci hurriedly advised.
Even General Meng brandished his sword and said, "Your Highness, this mission is far too dangerous! Why don't you leave it to me, Old Meng?"
"I'm not afraid of danger at all," Gu Mu said with a smile.
After all, 77 points can be exchanged for two Resurrection Pills.
It's like having two extra lives.
Moreover, killing one person earns one or two points. On this battlefield, as long as he goes on a killing spree, he will definitely be able to earn enough points.
Since he wanted the world to be as he wished.
How could he possibly cower in the back and reap the benefits without lifting a finger?
The world is built with every bullet and every sword.
It was something they fought on the brink of death, snatching away from the enemy bit by bit.
"Tell me the list of enemy generals." With over 100,000 enemy troops, it's impossible for them to have only one general.
“There are five in total.” Shen Ci unfolded a scroll, on which was a portrait and a name marked in the lower right corner.
"This is all the information we have. They haven't revealed much, so we don't know the weaknesses of these five generals. We've only found out their names."
Below, there are four more sheets of paper, each containing portraits of one of the other four generals.
Gu Mu glanced at it and silently memorized it.

Memorize the portraits and names of these five generals one by one.
Gu Mu then signaled Shen Ci to put the scroll away.
“This information is enough,” Gu Mu said.
If the enemy general is killed, the enemy army will be leaderless and will surely descend into chaos.
Shen Ci was a man of great strategic acumen, and was already famous in the capital for his knowledge and courage.
When Gu Mu was carrying out the system task of exiling Shen Ci to the frontier, he did not immediately recall him.
The reason for this was to cultivate him so that he would have achievements to show for himself and be capable of undertaking important responsibilities.
"Your Highness," Shen Ci earnestly analyzed the situation for Gu Mu, "Those generals probably considered that we would be desperate criminals, willing to pay any price to kill them in order to gain a chance of survival. Therefore, they usually command from the rear and rarely appear on the battlefield. To kill them, we will face tens of thousands of enemy troops blocking our way."
"Moreover, they are very skilled in martial arts. Even without tens of thousands of enemy soldiers as their shield, it would not be easy to kill any one of them, let alone five."
What Shen Ci said were all objective facts about the current situation on the field.
The enemy army numbered 100,000, overwhelming the Southern Dynasty in numbers.
Those generals didn't need to personally fight on the front lines.
“More importantly…” Shen Ci added quietly, “Your Highness’s presence at the military camp is already an encouragement to the soldiers. There is no need for them to do the most dangerous things.”
After all, he is a prince, not a general.
Your Highness should be high above.
He sat regally on the throne in the imperial court, pointing out the flaws in the country.
Instead of risking their lives.
"You're wrong. It's precisely because it's the most dangerous thing that I should do it."
The more dangerous it is.
This indicates that the higher the performance score, the better.
The higher his performance score, the more points he can exchange for items in the system shop.
I wonder if the political achievements and villain points accumulated from this war will unlock new items in the system.
A wave of emotion washed over Shen Ci and General Meng.
With such a king, what more could a subject ask for?
"Your Highness, I am willing to follow you to the death!"
