Chapter 831 Brainstorming

In the next few days, Yunzheng personally led people to explore the terrain on both sides of the Yudai River.

Seeing Yunzheng leaving early and returning late every day, the atmosphere in the army gradually became tense.

As far as they knew, this was Yun Zheng's careful exploration of the terrain.

It was obvious that Yun Zheng attached great importance to this battle.

Yun Zheng's attention also brought invisible pressure to the Lingzhou generals.

That's the pressure of only being allowed to win and not lose!

During this period, Yunzheng also induced the enemy to send people to monitor them on the other side of the Yudai River, and cooperated with the secretly ambushing Ghost Eighteen Cavalry to launch a small-scale sneak attack on the enemy and captured a few tongues.

Two days after Yunzheng completed the terrain survey and drew a detailed map, Zuo Ren and the others finally arrived with the food and grass.

Yun Zheng ordered them to set up camp in the northwest and northeast directions of Lingzhou, waiting for the follow-up troops.

A few days later, the 20,000 cavalry led by the Bloody Clothes Army, Fu Tianyan's troops, and Jia Yao also arrived with some provisions.

At this point, all the offensive forces in the direction of Lingzhou have been assembled.

Before Jia Yao and the others could take a breath, Yun Zheng sent someone to deliver an order for them to go to Yun Zheng's handsome tent to discuss matters.

By the time Jia Yao and the others arrived, the generals from other ministries had already arrived.

"I've seen Mrs. Gayao..."

Seeing Jiayao, all the heads of the tribe stood up and saluted.

They used to call Gayao Mrs. Gayao, which was somewhat of a joke.

But now, Jia Yao and Yun Zheng are officially married!

Although Jia Yao is a general like them, he still has to salute when he should.

"No...no gifts!"

It was the first time that so many generals collectively called her "Mrs. Gayao". It was obvious that Gayao didn't feel comfortable with it, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Okay, everyone, take your seats!"

Yun Zheng stopped everyone, "Today is a military meeting. There is no Mrs. Gayao and no princess here!"

"Yes!"

All the generals took the order and sat down quickly.

Yun Zheng pointed to the seat next to Shen Luoyan and motioned for Jia Yao to sit down as well.

And He Asu, who came with Ga Yao, sat at the back.

As soon as Jia Yao sat down, his eyes were attracted by the huge map hanging in the tent.

She knew that this must be a map around Lingzhou and Yudai River, but it was different from the maps she usually saw.

She stared at the map for a while, but she didn't understand much.

Is this a map drawn by Yunzheng?

This map is quite novel.

Jiayao thought secretly in his heart.

"Deng Bao!"

Yunzheng called out.

"The general is here!"

Deng Bao stood up.

Yun Zheng looked at Deng Bao: "First, let me tell you generals about the enemy's arrangements across the Yudai River!"

"Yes!"

Deng Bao took the order, stood up and came to the sand table, "Currently, the enemy army has imitated what Your Highness did in the Sole River Plains and built a pseudo city at the forefront. According to reliable information, there are 20,000 elite soldiers in this pseudo city. …”

Proud of the tongue they had caught earlier, they had a general understanding of the enemy's arrangement.

The person guarding the pseudo-city is none other than Qiu Chi's rebel general Tiexiong.

There are a large number of traps on the left and right sides of this pseudo city, obviously to force them to attack the pseudo city from the front.

However, those tongues were all soldiers from the frontier pseudo-cities, and they were not very clear about the specific troop arrangements in the three cities of Turtle Bei, Gulle, and Yiwu.

It is just estimated that the three cities should have about 80,000 troops in total.

Moreover, Turtle Bei and other three cities had frequently mobilized their forces several times, probably to disrupt their sight.

Tie Xiong's younger brother Tie Ju was responsible for guarding Gule.

In addition, Lou Yi's handsome tent was set up in Turtle Back City.

At present, this is basically all they know.

As soon as Deng Bao finished speaking, Jia Yao asked: "Are the defenders of the puppet city you mentioned the soldiers of Qiu Chi or the people of Dayue Kingdom?"

"They are basically all from the Great Moon Kingdom!"

Deng Bao replied: "The troops of Qiu Chi who were forcibly recruited by Lou Yi at the beginning were reduced to no more than 20%."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Jia Yao's eyes and he said no more.

If most of the defenders of the puppet city are Qiu Chi's soldiers, they can adopt a strategy of attacking the heart.

But Lou Yi's arrangement was obviously to guard against this move.

"Lou Yi obviously wants to learn our original moves and use this fake city to consume our troops!"

Yun Zheng smiled and continued: "If we want to invade Dayue Kingdom, we currently have two options! The first is to besiege this pseudo city and not attack it, and then attack other cities; the second is to capture it by force Let’s use this fake city as our base to attack other places! Let’s all share our opinions! Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, just say whatever you think.”

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, the generals began to think.

attack?

Or Wai?

There are a lot of traps on both sides of the pseudo-city. It is unrealistic to attack from three sides.

Unless those traps can be eliminated first.

If they only attack from the front, their casualties will definitely be high with the enemy's persistence.

It's the same even if they have catapults that can throw farther.

After all, the catapult only opened a gap. To capture the pseudo-city, we still had to rely on people to attack.

But if they surrounded this pseudo city, they would inevitably be attacked and harassed by the defenders of other cities, and they would probably end up in a situation where they would be attacked on three sides.

Whether it's an attack or a siege, it doesn't seem to be very appropriate!

While everyone was thinking, Fu Tianyan suddenly asked: "How far is the distance between Pseudo City and Turtle Back City?"

"Very close!"

Deng Bao replied: "Roughly estimated, it should only be about three to forty miles."

"So close?"

Fu Tianyan frowned, "If this is the case, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to attack by force! We'll attack in a big way, and the enemy's reinforcements will arrive after a day and night of hurried march. By the end of the battle, the enemy's troops will probably attack more and more."

Listening to Fu Tianyan's words, many people nodded.

"I'm afraid Lou Yi is expecting us to storm that fake city and keep chasing us."

"Yes, they are defending according to the danger, and there will be reinforcements behind them at any time. The harder we attack, the happier Lou Yi will be."

"If a forceful attack fails, can we rely on cunning tactics to win? Capturing this pseudo-city will be of great help to us."

"It's probably a bit difficult! The Dayue Kingdom is currently adopting a comprehensive defense posture, and Tie Xiong is good at defending, so Lou Yi probably won't let him take the initiative to attack! If he keeps holding on, it will be difficult for us to find opportunities for surprise attacks... …”

After Fu Tianyan opened his mouth, everyone began to express their opinions.

The vast majority of people do not agree with the attack.

Just like those who want to seize the pseudo-city as a forward stronghold, they also feel that they cannot attack by force and should mainly take it by surprise.

Jiayao didn't speak, he just stared at the sand table in front of him and the map hanging there. The corner of his eye occasionally glanced at Yun Zheng, but he saw that there was no trace of sadness on Yun Zheng's face.

It is estimated that Yun Zheng should have made a decision in his heart.

He raised this question probably to train the generals in the army.

Thinking about it, a wry smile quietly flashed across Ga Yao's face.

According to Yunzheng's training method, these generals would not only learn all of his abilities, but even if they learned only 30% of his abilities, I'm afraid all of them would be able to stand on their own.

How can one not be afraid of such a Beifu army!
