At the last stop of his inspection of the military camp, Chen Yue arrived at the infantry camp in the city.

Luoyun City has successively sent reinforcements from the rear, and the total number of troops stationed in the city has reached more than 70,000.

Thirty thousand suppressing Liao troops, ten thousand Modao troops, thirty thousand infantry plus some ordinary garrison cavalry.

Among them, the main force in the city defense battle was these 30,000 infantry.

Since the beginning of the war, 30,000 infantrymen have been guarding the four gates in batches, taking turns to fight. Luoyun City's impregnable strength should be their main achievement.

Chenyue visited several barracks alone. Each battalion was basically preparing for war, taking advantage of the pause in the Yan army's siege to restore its military strength.

At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Yue was wandering in the infantry camp. From a distance, he saw a group of soldiers gathering under a large tree as thick as an arm to enjoy the shade. They listened to the noisy voices and seemed to be discussing something.

Chenyue smiled and didn't pay much attention. It was too common for people to chat together like this.

"Let me see, if we just fight out and attack Yan Jun's butt, we will definitely be able to break the siege of Yunjin's defense line!"

Just as Chen Yue was about to walk away from this group of soldiers, a rather heroic voice made Chen Yue stop in his tracks.

Chen Yue hesitated for a moment, then squeezed into the crowd.

There are not many soldiers, only about a dozen of them, but the only thing that makes Chenyue different is that these people all have military merit.

Although these people were all wearing simple black military uniforms with sleeves rolled up, the armors neatly stacked at the foot of the tree nearby were clearly only worn by centurions, captains, captains and other officers.

Everyone was half squatting on the ground. There were small stones placed on the ground. If you look closely, you can see that this is a rough map of the surrounding areas of Luoyun City. Although it is not as accurate as the map, it is still very similar.

Are these officers rehearsing the war? Chenyue's curiosity became more and more intense.

Finally, Chen Yue's eyes fell on the middle-aged man who spoke previously.

The middle-aged man looks to be in his early thirties. Different from the other dark-faced Liangjun officers, this man has rather handsome features and fair appearance. At first glance, he would not be regarded as a soldier at all.

"Lao Luo, it's easy for you to open your mouth. The Yan army outside the city is keeping a close eye on us. As soon as we send out troops, they will follow us. There is no chance of a sneak attack."

A bearded man retorted with his hands on his hips.

"Yes, the main camp where the Yan army attacks Baozhai is estimated to be dozens of miles away from Luoyun City. It is impossible for a large-scale cavalry dispatch not to be discovered by the Yan army."

Many people echoed and seemed not to agree with what the middle-aged man just said.

Chenyue also looked at the middle-aged man with interest, holding his chest, wondering if he really had any good ideas.

The middle-aged man asked disapprovingly: "Why do you need cavalry to attack? Can't infantry do it?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Lao Luo, your idea is a bit fanciful. It's such a hot day and the infantry marches so far. They have to lie down exhausted before they reach the Yan army camp. How can they still have the strength to fight?"

"Yes, and if the infantry is discovered by the Yan soldiers and the enemy cavalry comes to outflank it, it will really be a narrow escape."

…

The other officers obviously disapproved of the synchronized army's sneak attack method. Only Chen Yue, holding his waist and frowning, thought about what the middle-aged man had just said.

Why does a sneak attack require cavalry? Isn’t it possible to use infantry?

The man surnamed Luo was obviously a little awkward when facing everyone's doubts, as if he had something to say that he couldn't hold back.

"Okay, okay, let's not think about it. The war will naturally be discussed by the generals above us. Let's just do our part."

"Yes, it's such a hot day, let's let it go. Let's let it go."

Immediately, the group of officers dispersed in twos and threes, leaving only the man staring blankly at the stones spread on the ground.

"Alas~"

After being silent for a long time, he sighed and reached out to push away the stones on the ground.

"Wait a minute, what brother just said is interesting, can you explain it in more detail?"

The middle-aged man was stunned and looked up to see Chen Yue's young and somewhat unfamiliar face.

Chenyue smiled at him, with kindness in his eyes.

The middle-aged man asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"

Chenyue cupped his hands and said, "I am the centurion guarding the east gate. My surname is Wang."

Hearing Chen Yue's answer, the middle-aged man didn't have too many doubts. The one who could walk around the camp casually must be one of his own. He followed Chen Yue's example and cupped his hands and said: "Luofu, captain."

A flash of surprise flashed in Chenyue's eyes. The captain was considered to be quite an officer.

In Luofu's somewhat confused eyes, Chen Yue sat down next to him, looked at the stones on the ground and said softly:

"Infantry can be used in a running attack. This is the first time I have heard of it. Can you tell me more about it?"

Luofu looked Chen Yue up and down. Seeing that Chen Yue was indeed interested, he also sat down and said:

"Brother, you see, now the Yan army has sent out a large army to attack our Yunjin defense line. Although our defense line is unrivaled in strength, in the end it will cost soldiers. If we can defeat this Yan army, it will definitely reduce the pressure on the entire defense line.

"

Chenyue said with a smile: "However, most of the attacks use cavalry. If the cavalry is dispatched, they will be discovered by the Yan soldiers, and then the sneak attack will be in vain."

"So we can use infantry."

Luofu hesitated and said: "Although the infantry is slow, it also has its advantages."

Chen Yue stretched out his hand and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Luofu's speech gradually became fluent: "There are many mountains in the land of Yunzhou. The infantry can cross mountains and ridges compared to the cavalry. If they move lightly and simply, the movement will be much smaller than the cavalry, and it will be easier to hide their traces.

What's more, the enemy never expected that we would use infantry to attack us in a sneak attack, so he must have been unprepared."

Luofu opened his chatterbox and poured out all his thoughts.

Chenyue also listened very seriously, and would discuss a few words with him out loud from time to time. Unexpectedly, Luofu became more enthusiastic, as if he had met a close friend, and spoke faster and faster.

It is very rare for an officer like this to be a captain who can see the overall situation. At this moment, Luo Fu, who was salivating, was like a piece of gold shining in Chen Yue's eyes.

After chatting for a long time, Luofu reluctantly stopped and said with a smile:

"Haha, little brother, this is just a casual chat between us in private. As for how to fight the war, I must listen to the superiors."

"That's natural." Chenyue also smiled and said, "But my brother is really smart. Wang has learned a lesson."

Chenyue praised loudly, not stingy with his praise at all.

Luofu smiled and scratched his head, then stood up and said: "There are still military affairs in the camp, so I won't talk to my brothers anymore today. I will definitely treat my brothers to a pot of wine and have a good chat in the future!"

Luofu felt that Chenyue and he were so compatible that he was completely unaware of the gap in official ranks between them.

"Okay! That's what I mean!"

"Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

Looking at Luofu's retreating figure, Chen Yue looked at the map made of stones on the ground and murmured softly:
Chapter completed!
