Chapter 780: Divide the forces and fight!

"Wen You, Wen He, let's all discuss this. Now that two armies are coming straight towards us, how should we defend ourselves against the enemy?"

"My lord, the two armies are approaching fiercely and have great fighting power. We cannot wait for them to join forces."

Li Ru also felt a strong pressure. The Nanyan Army led by Chen Qian was the main force of Dayan Zhenger Bajing, and its combat power was definitely not comparable to that of some ordinary elites.

Under Qi Jin's command, there are even two of the nine guards in the capital, whose combat strength is only lower than that of Dayan Dragon Cavalry.

"Lord!"

"Qi Yu's army will take one day to reach this point, and Chen Qian will need at least two days. It's better to attack Qi Yu first."

"A last-ditch fight!"

Ran Min spoke with a decisive look on his face, slightly cupped his hands and said: "Master, my beggar army is willing to go and hold off Nan Yan's army!"

"Lord, why don't you use the Zhenxi Army in Xuanjian Pass?"

"No!"

Before Ning Fan could speak, Jia Xu shook his head: "Xuanjian Pass is our last line of defense, and it is also the gate of my country, Dayu. The two hundred thousand defenders are the bottom line and cannot be touched lightly."

"Well, Wen He makes sense."

Ning Fan looked around and said softly: "There are now one hundred thousand Zhenxi Army stationed in Dongyan City, including the Xuanjia Army, the White Robe Army, the Begging Army, the Qin Ruishi, the Modao Army, and the Beiwei Army that Gu Wei has not used yet. , can all fight!"

"Although the 200,000 Nanyan Army is strong, it is only a three-star military unit and is not something to be afraid of."

"In addition, Gu has a cavalry under his command that has not yet been used. It can be used as cavalry to take surprise."

Ning Fan looked at the map on the wall and muttered: "Wenyou, in your opinion, which side should our army attack first?"

"Nan Yanjun!"

"Why?"

There was a trace of confusion on Dian Wei's face, and Li Ru paused for a moment: "My lord, everyone, now that our army has occupied Dongyan City, it is equivalent to controlling the eastern gateway of Dayan."

"If you advance, you can attack the hinterland of Da Yan. If you retreat, you can defend one side. If you go south, you can attack Nan Yan's army from a flank."

"Now, two armies are coming together. In terms of combat strength, the Nanyan Army is probably a three-star branch, while the Chi Yan Guard and the Black Yan Guard among the nine guards of the capital under Qi Jin are probably barely up to the level of three. Four-star troops.”

"As the saying goes, pick the weak ones first. Therefore, our army will put the main force in the south and first destroy Chen Qian's 200,000 Nanyan army."

"In addition, by defeating Chen Qian's Nanyan Army, our army will be able to fully understand the threat in the south. The remaining strength of Gu Ru is not enough to continue leading the army north."

"On the contrary, we can send our troops south, directly penetrate Gu Ru's Nan Yan's main force, and join forces with Da Li."

"On the contrary, if Qi Yu's main force is attacked first, Da Yan's capital will be furious and continue to send troops to fight. However, Chen Qian's army is not destroyed, and our army will still be unable to get rid of the situation of being attacked from two sides."

"good!"

Ning Fan nodded slightly, with a look of recognition on his face, and looked at Bai Qi: "Shuai Bai, what do you think?"

"What Mr. Wenyou said makes sense. My lord, one hundred thousand Qin warriors are enough to annihilate two hundred thousand Nanyan troops!"

"good!"

"In this case, Commander Bai, Chen Qian's Nanyan Army will be handed over to you. I will also hand over Beiwei Army to you and immediately go south to meet the enemy."

"promise!"

Bai Qi nodded slightly, then looked at the map: "My lord, Qi Yuan will pass through Mangyang Mountain as he heads eastward tomorrow morning. There will be three paths."

"We set up an ambush near Louis. The middle road passes through a jungle, but there is no danger of mountains. As for the far road, it is a wilderness, but it takes three more days to go around."

"At that time, I don't know which path Qi Yu will choose. If we want to block their advance route, Mangyang Mountain is a must-win place."

"Otherwise, when they arrive at the eastern border, our army may be passive. If Dongyan City is besieged, it will be controlled by Da Yan and will be completely at a disadvantage."

"What's Shuai Bai's plan?"

"There is no good solution."

Bai Qi shook his head slightly, with a wry smile on his face. Even if he were to choose these three routes, he would probably choose one at random, or send out scouts first to closely explore the shortcut to Mangyang Mountain. If there was an ambush, he would take the other two routes.

"My lord, we can set up an ambush at Mangyang Mountain and Tiger Leaping Gorge. The number of troops should not be too large to cut off Yan's army's shortcut."

"In the middle, place iron cavalry. If Yan's army arrives, attack from both wings. If Yan's army is far away, you can also send a large army to attack and steal Yan's retreat!"

"In addition, place a group of sharp soldiers on the far road. If the main force of Yan's army arrives, they can attack step by step and wait for my cavalry to circle back."

As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, Ning Fan nodded slightly and looked at the middle-aged scribe, who shook his head: "My lord, I am not good at military strategy."

"Haha, I wonder if sir is not interested in usurping the throne?"

"Well……"

The middle-aged scribe smiled coquettishly and couldn't help but feel shocked. Normally, he would just think about this kind of thing. How could he dare to do it?

Unless it's to usurp Da Yan's position, start a rebellion in Da Li, or plot to conquer Western Shu!

"My lord, you can have Mo Dao's army set up an ambush in Tiger Leaping Gorge. They can use rolling stones and trees to gather at the top. You can also use fire to attack!"

"As for the Wanmu Jungle in the middle, we can hide the white-robed army and the black-armored army on both wings."

"Nagahara's words will be handed over to the beggar army!"

After hearing Bai Qi's words, Ning Fan frowned slightly. With such a division of troops, if Qi Yun's main force directly marches a long way, and the begging army only has 50,000 people, how can it resist Qi Yu's 400,000 army?

"Lord, I'm going to ask for your orders!"

Ran Min noticed Ning Fan's expression and directly asked for orders to go into battle. The beggar army could transform from a ragtag group into a warrior of hundreds of battles, relying on their indomitable momentum and not being afraid of the courage of the enemies in the world.

What about the 400,000 troops?

Ran Min is not afraid, and the sons of the beggar army are not afraid either.

"Lord, it doesn't matter which way he advances, let's just attack him with three armies, right?"

Dian Wei spoke carelessly, and Ning Fan shook his head: "Now we are in the dark, and the Yan army is in the light. If we take the initiative to fight out, I am afraid that the Yan army will set an ambush for us."

"The scouts of Yanjun are not blind."

"well!"

Even a rough guy like Dian Wei knew that if the main force of Yan's army was really hit by the begging army, and there was no danger to defend in the wasteland, the begging army would probably be in trouble.

"Lord, I'm going to ask for your orders!"

"good!"

Ning Fan stood up directly, with a stern look in his eyes, and looked at Ran Min and said: "If Yong Zeng's army really goes to Changyuan, there is no need to fight to the death with it. I will lead my army to rush for reinforcements in half a day at most!"

"promise!"

"Bai Qi, point to the general!"

"Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin!"

"The general is here!"

"I order you two to lead the Xuanjia Army to ambush on the left side of Wanmu Jungle. When the Yan Army arrives, lead the army to fight out!"

"promise!"

"Chen Qingzhi, Yang Zaixing!"

"exist!"

"You two are on the right side of Wanmu Jungle. Yan's army has arrived. Lead your army to fight out!"

"promise!"

"Lanyu, Dianwei!"

"The general is here!"
