Yes, you read that right, Xiaolongnu, Di Fan, Zhong Mingliang, and Yue Suo were really having a great time arguing on the slope!
To be precise, it was mainly Yue Ruo who blamed Xiao Longnu.
"Alliance leader, you are too willful!"
Yue Shuo angrily pointed at the dark Mongol camp in the distance and said, "Sending the scouts back was absolutely a wrong decision! We already encountered the scouts. We could have wiped them out in one go and launched a surprise attack on the Mongol army. Why did we have to engage in a head-on confrontation?
With our combat power, we only need to launch an attack on the Mongolian base at night, causing a roar in the camp... We can even wipe out a hundred thousand troops without even a few casualties! "
Yue Shuo was concerned about the casualties of his brothers! In his eyes, fighting was fighting, and its main purpose was to defeat the enemy! As long as the opponent could be defeated, no matter what tactics were used, whether they were despicable or not... After all, as our ancestors said, all is fair in war!
Di Fan's mouth twitched. This Yue Suo is really a simple general! No, it should be said that starting from Yue Fei, the entire Yue family is a group of simple generals!
[Alas, Yue Shuo is a good fighter, but he doesn't understand politics at all.]
[I don't understand why war is a continuation of politics. It seems I can only be a general or a commander, leading troops to attack and complete missions, and I can never enter the court...]
[Well, I should have a private chat with Yue Shuo sometime and teach him some lessons on how to be an official. Sometimes, fighting a war isn't just about winning or losing!]
Xiao Longnu's mind moved slightly. She was originally unsure how to deal with Yue Ruo's questioning, but after hearing Di Fan's thoughts and adding the conversations of everyone in the past few days, she instantly understood how to answer.
"Yue Shuo, do you know what our purpose is in this battle?"
"Defeat the Mongol army!"
Yue Ruo answered without thinking!
"No! Defeating the Mongolian army is a means, not an end!"
Xiao Longnu shook her head and looked at Yue Shuo seriously. "Fighting, killing the enemy, and defeating the army are not the goals. Instead, we need to achieve the Wulin Alliance's request to send troops to fight! Do you know that the goals of our attack this time are, first, to bring border civilians into Xiangyang City to increase our troop reserves; second, to build the reputation of the Wulin Army, so that both the Song Dynasty and the Mongolian army will be extremely wary of our army, giving us time and space to develop!"
So what do you think we need to do to achieve our second goal, to force the Song and Mongolian armies to wait and see, to secretly trip them up instead of attacking directly?
Xiao Longnu's words stumped Yue Suo!
As a qualified commander, Yue Shao, who inherited the Yue family's legacy, certainly knew which method would be more effective in deterring the two armies!
To put it bluntly, if it is a sneak attack, the opponent will have a lucky mentality, thinking that it is because of his unpreparedness, not because of his lack of combat power... But if you give the opponent enough time to prepare, and then defeat a hundred thousand in a head-on attack with only five thousand, the psychological effect will be completely different!
However, even so, there was a way to defeat the enemy, but Yue Suo still couldn't understand why he had to increase the casualties of his brothers.
Yue Suo remained silent, and Xiao Longnu did not force him, but just waited quietly for him to figure it out...
After a long time, just when the Mongolian army below had assembled and the Wulin army had reorganized, Yue Shuo had to nod heavily and admit his mistake.
"The leader is wise...it's me, the general, who is too narrow-minded."
"Hey, we are all brothers, no need to be so polite."
Zhong Mingliang walked over and put his arm around Yue Shuo's shoulders. "When we went to rescue Yuejiazhai, I had the same idea as you. We thought we should hide our whereabouts and defeat the enemy in order to achieve our combat objectives. But in the end, wasn't I also persuaded by the leader?
To put it bluntly, we are from a military family, and we play with war and tactics. The strategies of civil officials and counselors are really beyond our reach. Otherwise, the Zhong and Yue families wouldn't have been so badly schemed against by those corrupt officials in the court, right? "
While helping Yue Shuo explain, Zhong Mingliang also did not forget to complain about the Song Dynasty...
Di Fan on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes...
[Old Zhong, have you forgotten one thing? I'm a member of the civil service team!]
[Also, are you sure you're not giving your junior sister some insurance? Telling her that they can't outmaneuver the civil officials? Haha, what's that? Preparing for a rainy day?]
[The generals have also become bad people! ]
(Zhong Mingliang: Nonsense! We've suffered such a huge loss, how can we not learn bad things? As the Art of War says: Give him a taste of his own medicine! We are military commanders, not idiots!)
Xiao Longnu's heart moved slightly. The Song Dynasty's generals were really humble...
"Okay, everyone, are you ready?"
Xiaolongnu jumped onto her horse, her cloak fluttering in the strong wind. She held a long sword in her hand and wore fish-scale armor. She looked very heroic, showing the demeanor of a peerless female general. She was like Mulan reborn, with an indescribable heroic appearance!
Di Fan and the other two looked at each other, mounted their horses, and held spears in their hands!
"war!"
"war!"
The roar of five thousand soldiers shook the sky!
"Wulin Army! Charge! Kill!"
Xiao Long Nu rode forward, the first to rush down the hillside! Then Di Fan, Zhong Mingliang, Yue Suo, and five thousand soldiers, like tigers descending from the mountains, maintained their formation and followed Xiao Long Nu forward!
In the Mongolian camp, the Mongolian army had just formed its battle formation when five thousand soldiers rushed towards the camp like black ants!
"Hmph! Just a mere 5,000 men! Just because you killed my scouts, you think you're invincible? Zhebie, lead 10,000 Zhahuti and capture them!"
Kublai Khan directly sent out his general Jebe! He was a general under his grandfather Genghis Khan. He was so powerful that he could shoot eagles with his magic arrows. He was invincible!
"I obey the prince's order!"
Zhebie, his hair already white, saluted from his horse and immediately led his 10,000-man army into battle! Then, when they were about a thousand meters away from the Wulin Army, he issued the attack order: "Shoot! Turn back!"
This tactic is exactly the cavalry and archery tactic that the Mongolian army relied on to roam across the Eurasian continent!
"A mere trifle! Now watch me shift the world!"
Apart from Zhang Wuji, Zhong Mingliang, the only Ming Cult leader who had practiced the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to the fifth level, jumped up from his warhorse. A strange map of the universe with a radius of ten meters suddenly appeared, and then suddenly expanded to about a thousand meters, covering the incoming arrows!
All the arrows fired by the Mongolian cavalry were automatically deflected upon contact with the Qiankun Diagram! Even the few hundred that slipped through the net were easily dodged or caught by the Wulin Army, causing no harm to them at all!
In other words, the Mongolian army took a detour in time, otherwise the arrows twisted by Zhong Mingliang alone would have caused the Mongolian army to suffer a great loss!
The leading Xiaolongnu saw that the Mongolian army was about to take a detour... and snorted angrily!
"Wulin Army, change formation! Golden Goose Formation!"
Five thousand Wulin Army masters simultaneously employed the Golden Goose Art's light-body-lifting technique, dramatically reducing the pressure on their warhorses. With their combined internal energy, they even stirred the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, causing a single goose to take flight above the army's formation, which had transformed into a goose-shaped formation. This also dramatically increased the formation's speed. The Mongolian army, having calculated the distance just enough to bypass the Wulin Army, had never anticipated such a bizarre formation. Unprepared, before their formation could even deploy, they were slammed into by the Wulin Army from the side!
