"If we fight head-on, we're definitely no match for the enemy! Furthermore, I suspect Qin Qingxue and Shi Wushuang might reveal our details to the enemy.
As long as Annan sends troops to attack us, we must be fully prepared." said Ye.
Zhao Wudi led a cavalry force and was good at fighting against the cavalry of the northern enemy.
I really can't figure out what strategy Bai Xiaoye used.
"Your Highness, please tell me. I really can't guess!"
"Our chance of victory lies in the woods! These woods are lush and continuous.
Although it can hide tens of thousands of troops, it can also destroy them.
I asked the locals and they said strong winds are common at this time of year.
We just need to place flammable things at the vents.
Wait until the wind blows and take the opportunity to set fire.
Then the enemy troops were trapped inside. They only needed to hold on for more than a quarter of an hour and the entire forest would be engulfed in flames.
It is impossible for us to completely destroy the enemy without attacking."
Ye explained.
Zhao Wudi and Princess Ruyue took a deep breath when they heard this.
Unexpectedly, Ye actually thought of the method of fire attack.
"Will this really allow us to eliminate the enemy with minimal casualties? But the woods outside are connected to the mountain.
Once the fire is set, it is possible that all the surrounding mountains will be burned.
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
Wouldn’t the cost of doing this be too high?”
Zhao Wudi wanted Ye to take over the decision.
After all, if Annan was defeated, the Qi clan would have to migrate here.
As the saying goes, live by the mountain.
If all the trees in a large area are burned down and a large area of land is turned into scorched earth, it is unknown how many days it will take to recover.
"So we have to prepare in advance! Have all soldiers cut down the surrounding trees and cut off the connection with other forests.
Burn paper in front of the city.
Of course, doing so will make it easy for the enemy to detect our fire attack strategy.
You have people cut down trees to build a wall.
At that time, we built some wooden sheds in the woods.
Let the enemy think that our troops are stationed in the woods.
When you set the fire, it will burn more vigorously."
"That's it! This is a good plan! We can even pretend to hold it off in the woods first.
Pretend to be defeated and retreat into the city."
Zhao Wudi clapped his hands excitedly.
Finally it was clear.
"This is a good idea. No matter how clever the enemy is, they will be easily deceived before they achieve victory after victory."
Princess Ruyue also highly praised his strategy.
"Since you're all interested, then go ahead and make it! Make sure it's exquisite and spend more time on it!"
It would be a shame to send some troops to actually live in the woods.
You have to act convincingly and not arouse the enemy's suspicion."
Ye said with a smile.
"I will prepare immediately!"
Zhao Wudi was overjoyed.
You can even defeat the invading enemy without losing a single soldier.
This strategy is absolutely amazing.
Bring the army to cut down trees and clear a firebreak.
Wooden houses were built in the woods in front of the city and soldiers were stationed inside.
When the Marshal of Annan received the news from the disciples of Yunlu Pavilion, he decided without hesitation to deal with Yuye first.
Seventy thousand soldiers were used to tie down Qin Qingxue's main force.
The remaining 80,000 troops came to attack Ye.
At the same time, there were 50,000 reserve troops coming to support and guard the border.
Such mistakes must not be made again.
We absolutely cannot allow any army to attack Annan while fighting is underway on the front lines.
Moreover, a large number of troops were deployed in many cities on the front line of Annan.
It can be said that Annan has dispatched all the troops it can mobilize.
Determined to exact revenge.
Even want to annex half of the southern territory.
Qin Qingxue did not send troops to fight against the enemy under the instructions of Shi Wushuang.
䀴 means to keep all the troops in the city to garrison.
The excuse is to first deplete the enemy's strength and then launch an attack.
The two armies confronted each other.
They all knew very well in their hearts that the enemy had only sent 70,000 troops, and the rest must have gone to look for our army.
Lei Ying and Lei Zhan continuously passed the enemy's movement routes to Lei Ye.
Ye looked at the sand table in front of him, which was covered with many flags.
It shows the deployment of enemy and our own military forces.
"Good boy, the enemy has 80,000 troops attacking our 50,000, they really think highly of us!"
"Although we have seized a lot of weapons, there are still many soldiers who do not have enough weapons.
These new recruits have not been trained for long and it is difficult for them to form combat effectiveness.
In addition, the city walls are low and difficult to defend.
Do we need to consider a retreat route?"
A general asked.
"Whatever the plan is, if it doesn't achieve the expected goal, there's no need for us to fight tooth and nail.
"When fighting a war, you have to consider all possible scenarios and not just follow one path," Ye replied.
The greatest advantage of his leading troops in battle was that he never made decisions alone.
Everyone from soldiers to generals can make suggestions.
As long as there are good suggestions, they can be adopted and you can also get rewards and awards.
At this time, a soldier handed in his method.
There is a poisonous weed nearby that can make people weak and powerless if you put it in the water and drink it.
Moreover, the effect is slow, and it will take at least half a day after drinking the water to see the effect.
If grass like this is placed around water sources.
The enemy army has arrived and will definitely divert this water.
The poison would be tested on some animals first, and only after confirming that there was no problem would the soldiers be allowed to drink it.
When Wang Ye saw this suggestion, he immediately asked someone to bring the soldier who submitted the suggestion over.
The soldier was in his teens. Although he was thin, he was in poor spirits.
Gives people a feeling of very flexible movements.
"Little Zhang San, greetings to His Highness!" After entering the tent, he quickly knelt down to pay his respects.
"Get up. I saw the suggestions you submitted. Do you really care about this poisonous weed?" asked Ye.
Such an important matter cannot be taken lightly, and one must inquire clearly before proceeding.
"When I was little, I often went to the mountains to collect herbs and firewood for a living, and I accidentally ate this poisonous weed.
I felt weak and drowsy for seven or eight days in a row.
Almost lost his life.
I am very familiar with the medicinal properties of this poisonous weed.
They also often come to poison wild animals in the mountains. This method does not kill the prey but allows them to be caught easily, and it works every time.
If the Annan army hadn't come and burned, killed, and looted, I'd have lived a pretty good life." Zhang San replied respectfully.
When the Annan army was mentioned, strong hatred burst out in his eyes.
"Okay, from now on, you will be promoted to a householder and receive fifty taels of silver. Lead your men to collect this poisonous weed.
Squeeze the grass juice and place it in a nearby water source.
If you defeat the enemy using this method, you will receive another reward."
Ye immediately gave the reward to the other party.
Zhang San can be said to have reached the top in one step.
Being promoted from an ordinary soldier to a small general was nothing more than making a small suggestion.
Suddenly I was pleasantly surprised.
He immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Highness. I will repay your kindness with my life."
"This is what you deserve. Work hard and strive to make new achievements." Qi Ye encouraged Qi again before letting Zhang San leave.
