Shen Tang's proposal met with collective opposition as soon as it came out.
This also includes tools that are not good at it.
He knew that Shen Tang liked to make surprises, and Cunshan City was deceived by her sleight of hand. Although the Art of War also said: Those who are good at making surprises are as endless as the heaven and the earth, and as endless as the rivers and seas. But it also shows that this person likes to take eccentric swordsmanship. Radical and bold personality.
Qibing, behind the high returns are high risks. This move is like walking on a high-altitude rope. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces!
Chu Yao persuaded him gently, first confirming that Shen Tang's idea was indeed unconventional and very bold, but then pointed out the problem: "We are not familiar with the laws of the Miaojiang River during the flood season. If we encounter a rapid rise in the river when we send troops, I'm afraid it will be dangerous."
The key is that my own water quality is not very good either.
It's just that if you dig it into the water a few times, you won't drown.
If they choose Shen Tang's plan, they will not be fighting the enemy, but going to the gambling table to compete with God.
With the debuff Kang Jishou, it’s better not to use it.
Be steady and don't waver!
Jiang Sheng, Xun Zhen and others also nodded in agreement with Chu Yao.
At this time, Luan Xin keenly noticed that Gu Chi was silent, and couldn't help but frown slightly - I wonder if Gu Chi didn't want to openly object and make his lord unhappy, or did he keep silent after hearing his lord's heart? No matter which way, how much There is a suspicion of trickery.
Shen Tang waited patiently for their speeches to end, stood up expressionlessly, and borrowed his sword from Chu Yao who was nearest him. With a swipe, the sword was unsheathed. Xie Qi's face darkened at the sound, and he was feeling uneasy in his heart. He was Zheng Qiao had been working under him for so many years, and whenever the other party disagreed, he would draw his sword and kill those who disagreed, leaving an infinite shadow on the young minds of the workers.
This new lord...
I've never heard of her having a reputation for being violent.
Xie Qi forcefully resisted the urge to run away.
"My method is different from what you think."
Xie Qi's worried stabbing didn't happen. Shen Tang exerted a little skill with his wrist, and the long sword turned into a white light in the air. After a muffled sound, it slid smoothly into a wooden pillar. Half of the sword body was inside the wooden pillar, and half of the sword was inserted into the wooden pillar. The body is exposed outside the wooden pillar.
He stretched out his fingers and flicked the sword blade.
Said: "Well, that's it."
Of course she knew that flood season was dangerous. If a group of poor swimmers were unlucky enough to encounter a suddenly swollen river and be swept away without even seeing the enemy's back, it would be a huge loss. Therefore, Shen Tang never thought about it. March into the water.
"Take Yuanyuan as an example. It is very easy to drive weapons into the stone wall on the river bank. We used the weapons to make a temporary plank road and walked all the way. Miaojiang River is in the flood season, and the enemy should know this better than us. Therefore, here Even if there are eyes and ears watching everywhere, it is not as close as elsewhere. The stone wall on the river bank will be the most natural shelter, and the movement of the river can also cover up our movements."
Worried about the surge in Miaojiang River in a short period of time?
Just place it higher.
"By the way, you don't need to bring too many people with you on this trip."
Shen Tang did not intend to use a large force to bypass the enemy. The target was too big and could easily arouse the enemy's alert. Moreover, the temporary plank road was too simple and rough. It would require a certain amount of skill to pass through, and ordinary soldiers might not be able to do it. This required elites!
"In this way, attack from the front and back, and win the battle quickly!"
All warriors must use the right combination to win by surprise.
And Shen Tang likes to send out confident surprise soldiers!
She looked around at everyone: "What do you think?"
Chu Yao and others thought and discussed, and finally nodded.
"This is feasible and wonderful."
After the plan was finalized, it was time to determine how to arrange the two groups and who would lead them. However, the topic had not yet begun. Shen Tang raised his hand early and said enthusiastically: "Let me lead the Qi soldiers. Yuan Yuan will lead the troops." Hit the head and do it head on!"
She made Wei Shou's arrangements clear in a few words.
As the saying goes, "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and my lord is going to waste the battlefield." These are inevitable and unstoppable things. Chu Yao and others naturally have no objection. The most important thing is that our top combat power is inferior to that of our lord and Wei. Shou, at this time, the troops are divided into two groups to attack the enemy. Without top combat power to lead the troops, it will be difficult to boost morale, and unnecessary battle losses will be increased.
But Xie Qi obviously faced this situation for the first time.
He has something to say!
It's just that he was naturally tactful and couldn't speak when everyone had no objections. He had to suppress his emotions and lowered his voice to ask Ning Yan: "... As the saying goes, 'A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall.' The situation on the frontline is changing rapidly. It seems that the Lord is taking risks himself. ...It doesn’t seem appropriate, right? Don’t Tunan give me some advice?”
My lord, she is still a literary scholar.
But as soon as these words came out, Ning Yan looked at the thankless vessel with a somewhat strange look. She also lowered her voice and said: "Have you never heard of the sixteenth-level master in Zheng Qiao's account...remember his name is Jiang Ao De, who killed him with his own hands?"
Xie Qi: "Of course I have heard of Jiang Ao's death."
According to the news he heard, Jiang Ao was so arrogant that he seriously underestimated his opponent. After a long and hard battle, he was unable to defeat two fifteenth-level juniors on the coalition side. He was restrained by the two, and was eventually killed by one of them. The young general had his head cut off.
Listen -
A sixteenth-level senior officer was beheaded by a fifteenth-level junior officer!
When Zheng Qiao received the news, he almost moved his palace. Xie Qi was very smart and asked for a few days of sick leave to avoid this lunatic. At the same time, he did not forget to spurn Jiang Ao, a big parallel importer. Those who were promoted through the back door are indeed not as reliable as those who were promoted by being down-to-earth. Spectrum.
"But what does this have to do with my lord taking risks?"
It's not that Xie Qi's imagination is not big enough, it's because Shen Tang's intelligence is very normal. In addition, she dislikes wearing the Wen Xin Monogram and the Wu Dan Tiger Talisman at the same time. From Qi's point of view, his lord is a literary scholar whose rank is lower than his own, with an elegant and gentle personality but also a resolute and resolute character.
As for other rumors, Xie Qi had vaguely heard of them, but he always felt that the rumors were distorted and did not take them seriously.
Ning Yan said: "Jiang Ao was killed by my lord."
Xie Qi's CPU almost couldn't turn around. He suddenly raised his head to look at Shen Tang, then lowered his head and asked: "But isn't my lord a literary scholar? Rumor has it that he is a military commander."
Ning Yan asked back: "This is not a conflict."
Thank you: "..."
An outrageous guess suddenly popped into his mind.
"Literary, civil and martial arts?"
Ning Yan nodded slowly: "Yes."
Thank you: "..."
He tried to find any trace of joking on Ning Yan's face, but of course he couldn't find it. Xie Qi almost lost his temper. The last lord was a madman, and the new lord seemed to be a fool. Is it so difficult to find a normal person? ?
However, even though he was full of complaints, he could not put it into words. In the end, he could only say: "If this is the case... I can't believe some common sense even if I think about it."
The meeting ended and the final plan was basically finalized.
Shen Tang and others led 500 of the most elite soldiers to go around from the stone wall on the river bank to the enemy's rear, and joined forces with the front troops of Commander Wei Shou to attack the enemy. They selected the elite soldiers, prepared the materials needed to build the plank road, arranged two days of dry food, and handed them over to Chu Yao. Responsible.
It only took Chu Yao half a day to prepare.
Because they had to build a temporary plank road while marching, Shen Tang's surprise army would take longer than normal to travel. Before dawn, smoke rose from Cunshan City. The five hundred people had eaten and drank well, and had a good night's sleep. Rest and be energetic.
Shen Tang and Xun Ding got on the mules (horses) at the same time.
Xun Zhen did not accompany him. He told his son sternly: "Yong'an, remember to protect your lord and yourself."
Xun Ding grinned: "Father, don't worry!"
Seeing that his old father was serious because of the address, he smiled and changed his words: "General Xun Ding, please remember the military advisor's instructions."
Xun Zhen said: "Go."
Everyone saluted: "I wish you good luck in martial arts as you go."
Shen Tang laughed cheerfully and said, "Wait for my triumphant return!"
Zheng Qiao's troops were always paying attention to Shen Tang's actions. At dusk that day, they received news that hundreds of people had left Cunshan City. When the general heard the news, his heart pounded and he hurriedly asked: "Have you found them?" Where to go?”
The messenger said: "Go west."
The general thought that Shen Tang's actions were directed at him, but he was confused when he heard the messenger's reply. Why was the other party moving in the opposite direction? Seeing that the target was not him, he asked again: "Cunshan City What? Is there any other news?"
The messenger replied: "Everything is the same as before."
I went back to Cunshan City twice a day to report the situation, and each time the city gates were closed. They were on high alert, and even raptors with high-altitude reconnaissance capabilities couldn't get too close. The scout's valor totem couldn't be too far away from its owner. It was restricted, so it was difficult to find valuable information. After hearing this, the general paced back and forth in the camp with his hands behind his back, looking anxious.
Shen Tang's place was too quiet, unnaturally quiet.
Capturing Cunshan City but standing still would not be able to restrain Zheng Qiao's troops at all. This strategically important area lost the significance of attacking. The general knew that this was impossible. Shen Tang and his group would definitely take action, but he didn't know what it was. When to act, how to act. So, he waved his hand and said: "We will investigate again and report again! Send someone to keep an eye on the movements of those hundreds of people."
At nightfall, the general received the second report.
Those hundreds of people crossed the river and left.
general:"???"
His expression was distorted for a moment, and his voice rose out of control: "What? Crossed the river and left? Are you sure you crossed the river and left?"
The messenger had to repeat it again.
After Cunshan City is Shentang's territory, it was difficult for the scouts sent out to cross. They could only take advantage of the bird of prey's high altitude to see that the hundreds of people were indeed heading to the west bank of the Miaojiang River. In addition, the distance was limited, and the river bank Blocked by high mountains and cliffs on both sides, no more information could be found. During this period, two scouts were exposed and caught by enemy patrols. One was killed and the other injured.
The valiant totem scouts with investigative capabilities were very expensive, and I was worried that the remaining ones would also be caught, so I had to rush back.
The general twirled his beard, and his subordinates also lowered their eyes in deep thought.
The general muttered: "What are these hundreds of people planning to do?"
One person asked: "I would never think of going down the river to support the front line? But what role can a mere five hundred people do?"
Another person said: "Maybe he came for us?"
Immediately afterwards, he was mercilessly ridiculed: "In two or three days, the Miao River will surge. Isn't going into the water at this time a court of death? Even if they are coming for us, wouldn't the scouts be able to detect them? These hundreds of people may be a cover-up for the enemy." "
After all, this operation is really confusing.
The general also had this thought in his mind: "Explore again and report again!"
At the same time, Shen Tang and others transformed into goats and shuttled flexibly on the vertical and steep stone walls. Every time a weak light of martial energy flashed, a wooden stick was driven into the stone wall. In order to ensure safety, everyone had a wooden stick tied around their waists. A rope, and the other end of the rope is a ring. This ring can be buckled into a wooden stick nailed into the stone wall. Even if the foot slips and falls into the water, it will not be easily washed away.
Hundreds of people formed a line on the stone wall.
With abundant martial energy, those with high martial courage levels clear the way in front, and those with weaker strength follow behind. At the beginning, the soldiers are not familiar with it, and their feet feel weak when they look at the rolling river water under their feet. Once they become more familiar with it, they can stabilize their center of gravity. Move forward flexibly on the stone wall.
"Wangchao, are you okay?" Shen Tang walked quickly. When he stopped and waited, he heard a slight cough covered by the river water.
They were now unable to use scouts for reconnaissance to avoid exposing their targets, but they needed to be alert to the whereabouts of the enemy at all times, so Gu Chi's way of being a scribe became the only option. Gu Chi seemed weak, but in fact he was stepping on the wooden stick steadily and holding on to the wall with one hand.
He waved his hand towards Shen Tang in the distance, indicating that he was fine. When the river wind blew, an uncontrollable cough escaped from his throat.
"You don't look good." Shen Tang turned back.
It took Gu Chi a while to calm down his coughing, and his pale cheeks gained a bit of color as a result: "The river water is a bit dazzling from this position... Don't worry, my lord, it will be fine in a while."
After his family was wiped out, he was hunted down by Tao Yan's old men, and he barely managed to save his life by jumping into a river. Although he was not afraid of water, he still felt uncomfortable seeing similar scenes.
At this time, Bai Su came after hearing the news.
"My lord, leave the military advisor to the general."
"Okay, give him a hand to prevent him from slipping into the water. If the situation goes bad, you can carry him."
After Shen Tang gave the instructions, he went back and continued working.
Gu Chi was about to say that business was important and he didn't have to worry about himself. Bai Su wrapped the other end of the rope around his waist tightly around his wrist and tied a tight knot: "In this way, even if the military advisor falls, the final general I will drag you up too."
Is the bottom plate more stable between the literary scholar and the brave warrior?
Bai Su is full of confidence, she will definitely not be able to fall.
Gu Chi thought about the scene where he accidentally fell into the water, his head was washed down by the river, and Bai Su lifted himself up from above, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. This plot could be written into a storybook.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye, and the night fell.
Wei Shou ordered the whole camp to light a fire for cooking.
"Are you all full?"
The soldiers said in unison: "I'm full."
"We are full this time, but we are not eating well enough. If we want to eat well, have fat meat to eat, fine wine to drink, money to spend, and clothes to wear, we must perform meritorious service! How to perform meritorious service? Kill the enemy's Lair! They are enemies, and they are our military merits!" Wei Shou pointed the rose gold pink ax in his hand and shouted in the direction of the enemy, "Did you hear that?"
The soldiers shouted in unison, filling the sky.
"Wait, let's go!"
