Chapter 1432: The Thoughts of Training Soldiers

Qin Qihu stared at the sand table for a while, then asked, "Is there a way to get around to the back of Ganci?"

"There definitely is."

Xiao Dingwu replied: "Although the terrain over there is steep, it is still easy for people to go around it, but it is difficult to transport war horses and food!"

"Then isn't this just bullshit?"

Qin Qihu was speechless.

Xiao Dingwu chuckled and secretly slandered in his heart.

You fucking know this is bullshit!

If it is so easy to bypass it, Xiqu must be heavily guarded, right?

There must be a reason why Xiqu only sent such a small number of people to defend Ganci!

If he could go around it, why would he analyze the terrain with them?

"Are half of the 4,000 troops in the camp ahead slaves?"

Yunzheng asked.

"There are slave troops, too, but probably not even half of them."

Xiao Dingwu replied: "Zeng Guang estimated that among the 4,000 troops in the camp ahead, only about 30% are slave soldiers."

About 30%, which is not a small amount!

Yun Zheng thought silently for a while, then smiled and said, "It won't be difficult for us to launch a surprise attack and capture the camp ahead! The key is to capture Ganci! By the way, how far is the camp ahead from Ganci?"

"About forty miles!"

Xiao Dingwu replied.

Forty miles?

Listening to Xiao Dingwu's words, Yun Zheng and the others began to think.

This distance is neither close nor far.

It took almost a day to provide support from Ganci.

This time is definitely enough for them to capture the camp in front.

Qin Qihu thought about it and immediately suggested to Yun Zheng: "We can let Zeng Guang lead his troops to attack the camp in front. After the enemy sends people to ask for reinforcements, our people will immediately join the battle and quickly take down the camp in front. When the reinforcements from Ganci arrive, we will use light cavalry to raid their reinforcements!"

Yun Zheng smiled and looked at Xiao Dingwu and the others: "What do you think of General Qin's plan?"

Several people knew that Yun Zheng was testing them, and they started thinking about it.

After a moment, Xiao Dingwu was the first to speak: "This plan is definitely feasible! However, we must first send some troops to bypass the camp and ambush between them and Ganci..."

They had to ensure that the first group of people who went to ask for help could get through.

And once they engage in battle, no enemy troops can be allowed to go back and report.

Otherwise, once the enemy troops in Ganci got the news that Daqian had also sent troops, they would most likely not send reinforcements.

"Correct!"

Xiao Jian nodded in agreement: "It will definitely not be difficult to capture the camp in front, the difficult part is to only let the first group of people who come to ask for help through!"

The terrain between the camp and Ganci is relatively open.

They can't just send a large group of people to cut off the connection between the two, right?

But the number of people sent was too small, and in such an open terrain, who knew where the second and third groups of enemy troops would run back to report the news from.

Once the enemy sends more people to run back in several groups to deliver the message, it will be difficult for the people they send to intercept them all.

After listening to the analysis of the Xiao Dingwu brothers, the other two also nodded.

Qin Qihu's strategy is definitely feasible.

But it is still somewhat taken for granted!

Under this kind of terrain, it is indeed unrealistic to stop all the people who come back to report the news.

There was no necessary pass between Ganci and the front camp.

"Well, that's definitely a problem."

Yun Zheng nodded slightly and asked again: "Do you have any plan? Don't be afraid of saying something wrong. We are just having a preliminary discussion now. It's okay even if you say something wrong."

"I have thought about this a little bit before."

Xiao Dingwu spoke again: "What I am thinking is to let Zeng Guang send some troops to lure the people in the camp out to attack, and then we will quickly seize the camp with superior forces."

"We have a large number of cavalry, so it should be possible for us to prevent any enemy soldiers from escaping!"

"Then, we will disguise ourselves as soldiers from Xiqu and seize the city gate of Ganci..."

Xiao Dingwu expressed his thoughts.

He didn't know whether Yun Zheng would accept his idea, nor was he afraid of losing face.

He has already become Qin Qihu's disciple, so why should he care about his face?

Yun Zheng was not in a hurry to say whether Xiao Dingwude's idea was good or bad, and turned to ask Xiao Jian, "What about you? Don't you have any ideas?"

"Indeed not."

Xiao Jianan smiled embarrassedly, "My thoughts are similar to my elder brother's."

Yun Zheng smiled and looked at the other two.

But neither of them obviously had a better solution.

It is indeed easy to capture the camp in front.

Not to mention Yun Zheng coming to command, even if they came to command, with their advantage in military strength and surprise attack, they could easily capture the camp in front.

However, it was not easy to capture Ganci, which was guarded by a large number of troops.

If you still want to capture Ganci with minimal casualties, it will be even more difficult!

"Do you have any plan?"

Yun Zheng looked at Miaoyin again.

Miaoyin smiled: "This is not my concern. I don't have the energy to worry about this."

She does have a plan, and it is definitely better than Xiao Dingwu and Qin Qihu's.

She just didn't bother to talk.

It can also be considered as giving some face to the court generals such as Xiao Dingwu!

Yun Zheng certainly didn't believe that Miaoyin had no plan.

Miaoyin has always been by his side.

Anyway, I have learned a lot.

He probably guessed what Miaoyin was thinking, so he stopped asking and turned to ask Xiao Dingwu: "Have you personally led people to survey the terrain around the enemy camp?"

"Surveyed!"

Xiao Dingwu replied: "The terrain in front of the camp is open, but the location of the camp is a little narrow. With our military strength, it should be easy to capture it by force, but the casualties may be a little large! Therefore, I prefer to lure some people to take the initiative to attack first!"

"Well, it's a good thing to know how to reduce casualties."

Yun Zheng nodded approvingly, and asked a few people with a smile: "I say, have you ever thought about things outside the battlefield?"

Something beyond the battlefield?

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, several people were stunned.

"Your Highness, are you saying, persuade the enemy general to surrender? Or, alienate the enemy general?"

Qin Qihu was the first to react.

The battles he fought over the years were not in vain.

He has a better understanding of Yun Zheng's combat style.

"Correct!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "We already have an absolute advantage now. The internal situation of Xiqu is not very stable either. There is still a lot we can do outside the battlefield!"

After listening to Yun Zheng's words, several people suddenly understood.

right!

Now, Daqian has an absolute advantage!

If the enemy general could surrender by promising him a high position and generous salary, that would naturally be the best thing to do.

Yun Zheng smiled and then asked Xiao Dingwu: "Who is the commander of Xiqu? Which tribe in Xiqu is he from? What is the relationship between their tribe and Qinpu?"

"This……"

Xiao Dingwu was speechless, and then he showed a look of shame: "I only know that the commander of Xiqu is called Puwang, and I don't know the rest..."
