Ye Xiaochuan certainly knew the importance of Zhao Zian. He was now the supreme commander of the entire western front. If he did not send troops, the Battle of Longmen would not be fought.
However, how to get Zhao Zian to send troops is a problem.
Ye Cha said: "Boy, have you noticed that Zhao Zian's recent military deployment has a process, from hesitation to determination, and then to hesitation again.
Therefore, the deployment of the mortal army in the entire Western Region in the past three to five days has appeared to be very chaotic. Some people are rushing forward and some are retreating. Such a chaotic command system is a taboo for military strategists.
Zhao Zian's strategic purpose is very obvious, which is to divide the Dragon Gate War into three levels, or in other words, three fronts.
They are Shaqiu City, Dawu City and Longmen.
The Battle of Dune City achieved the desired effect.
However, problems arose during the battle of Dawu City, the second line of defense.
Zhao Zian mobilized nearly three million Chinese cavalry, hundreds of thousands of Western Region cavalry, and 1.6 million prairie cavalry who rushed over for reinforcements.
He wants to use these five million cavalry to hold back the main force of the enemy's Storm Legion in the north of Dawu City for at least three or four days. As long as the Storm Legion, Madmen, Legion and other legions are blocked from continuing southward, he can give heavy armored cavalry
, and the time for the Long Victory Legion’s camp to be deployed.
However, in just one day, Dawu City's defense line nearly collapsed, making it impossible for reinforcements to arrive at Longmen in time to deploy the third line of defense. That's why Zhao Zian gave up the plan for the Longmen operation.
But he still hesitated. He did not let the Changsheng Army return to Yumen Pass to set up defenses. Instead, he stationed himself in the east of Tianying Pass.
The heavy armored cavalry regiment was ordered to withdraw south because the heavy armored cavalry was not very fast and could easily be overtaken by the Storm Legion.
Since Zhao Zian is currently in a state of hesitation, there is a chance for him to send troops to Longmen again.
The only thing that can strengthen Zhao Zian's confidence in continuing to send troops is the battle in Longmen.
Boy, you have been bragging to me about how powerful Black Fire is, now is the time to test whether you are bragging or not.
If the black fire weapons of the Red Feather Army are as lethal as you said and killed a large number of enemies outside Longmen City, Zhao Zian may change his mind and continue to send troops.
However, there is a difficulty."
Ye Xiaochuan asked: "What's the difficulty?"
Ye Cha Dao: "Legion of Destruction."
Ye Xiaochuan's heart moved and he immediately checked the actual location of the Legion of Destruction on the map.
Ye Cha said: "Don't look at it, the Legion of Destruction is about five or six hundred miles away from Longmen, and they will definitely reach Longmen within five days.
As long as the Legion of Destruction reaches the outskirts of Longmen and fires a salvo at Longmen and Longbei Mountain from ten miles away, the Longmen War will be over.
Therefore, the key to whether the Red Feather Army can hold Longmen is not the Black Fire, but the Destruction Legion."
Ye Xiaochuan nodded silently.
He agrees with Ye Cha’s analysis.
The ultimate range of the Ba Niu Crossbow is only two to three hundred feet. When converted into miles, it is about two miles.
However, the fireballs ejected by the Skyfire Beast of the Destruction Legion can extend to more than ten miles away, and the range is much higher than that of the Eight Bull Crossbow.
Once the Legion of Destruction arrives at the Longmen battlefield, the Battle of Longmen will be declared over.
Ye Xiaochuan punched the map in front of him and said, "Then don't let the Legion of Destruction get close to Dragon Gate."
All the senior officials of Guixuanzong were stunned, not understanding what Ye Xiaochuan was talking to himself.
Ye Chadao: "Now the area around Longmen is a mess. There are hundreds of thousands of Pegasus and Six-winged legions in the sky.
There are more than two million human cavalry on the outside, chasing and fighting with hundreds of thousands of storm troops.
There are only two ways to stop the Legion of Destruction from moving south.
First, mobilize the prairie wolf cavalry nearby from the direction of Yinshan. Zhebie now has at least 3.5 million prairie elites in his hands. If they attack, it is very likely to delay the destruction of the army.
This is difficult. After all, from an overall perspective, the Battle of Longmen is just a small battle outside the pass. Longmen is not an important pass. It is unlikely that Zhao Zian can mobilize the elite cavalry of Yinshan.
Secondly, order the 300,000 beast riders from Southern Xinjiang who were rushing north to help, to immediately turn west and go around the west of Longmen Ancient City, then break them into pieces and divide them into hundreds of groups of rangers, passing through the gaps between the Storm Legion.
, the constant harassment along the way may be able to delay the Legion of Destruction's march south.
However, once the Southern Border Beast Riders are reduced to pieces, they will face the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of Storm Legions and Six-winged Legions, and they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Boy, the five tribes in Southern Xinjiang are your direct descendants, and Southern Xinjiang is also your base camp. Almost all the disciples in your Red Army are from Southern Xinjiang.
Are you really willing to let the cavalry from Southern Xinjiang do the blocking mission?"
Ye Xiaochuan fell silent.
He has very strong feelings for the five ethnic groups in Southern Xinjiang. The parents of his more than 30,000 disciples are almost all people from the five ethnic groups in Southern Xinjiang.
He couldn't bear to let the soldiers of the five tribes in southern Xinjiang carry out this mission of narrow escape.
Ye Cha smiled and said: "I know you are soft-hearted, forget it, let Longmen fend for itself."
Ye Xiaochuan spoke slowly and said hoarsely: "There is nothing to be reluctant to do. Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. Only by blocking the army of destruction a hundred miles away from Longmen can Zhao Zian send troops."
All the senior officials of Guixuanzong in the meeting hall looked at each other again.
They felt that their sect master was so strange. He kept talking to himself and said things that made people unable to understand at all.
Ye Cha stopped laughing and said in a deep voice: "Boy, you really did not disappoint me. Your future achievements will definitely be higher than mine.
If it were me, I would have to think about it for at least half an hour before making this decision, but you made your decision in just a few breaths.
But the warriors of the five tribes in southern Xinjiang are not good at fighting this kind of battle, so you have to find someone to help."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Who?"
Ye Cha Dao: "Zhan Ying.
Since he can be favored by the leader of the Seven Organizations and taught the art of military magic, he must be outstanding in leading troops in war.
When it comes to marching and setting up troops, you and I are both laymen. Perhaps he is the only one in the world who can accomplish the task of delaying the march of millions of heavenly armies with 300,000 beast cavalry."
The young captain he saw at Longmen immediately appeared in Ye Xiaochuan's mind.
He nodded slowly and said, "Perhaps only he can turn things around."
Once you have made a decision, you must implement it firmly.
In this crisis situation, any hesitation may affect the direction of the war in Longmen.
He immediately said: "Tianshan, we will immediately invite the leaders of the southern Xinjiang wizards in Qiming Mountain. I have something to discuss with them.
At the same time, contact Wang Keke and ask him to confirm Zhan Ying’s whereabouts immediately.”
Ye Xiaochuan's order was passed on. Although Long Tianshan was full of doubts and didn't know what Ye Xiaochuan wanted to do, he still carried out Ye Xiaochuan's order immediately.
