Now that Baitu's status as commander-in-chief has been recognized by the higher-ups of the farm family, he began to prepare for this battle of survival for the farm family.
A farmer disciple unfolded a large map, and the dangerous terrain and obstacles in Daze Mountain and the distribution of troops in each farm hall were all clearly marked on it.
Baitu had already memorized the complete topography of Daze Mountain in his mind. He pretended to look at the map and thought for a while and said: "Sun Tzu said: Those who do not know the mountains, forests, dangers, and swamps cannot march; those who do not use rural guides cannot benefit from the terrain.
.
Within the scope of Daze Mountain, there are all farm disciples. After all the peripheral disciples disappeared in pieces, Xiang Yan could only send out scouts to explore the terrain and draw maps with his eyes darkened.
Although the scouts in the army are nimble and agile, they are incomparable to us warriors. Only with this in mind, we can kill and injure a large number of enemy scouts, making it difficult for the Tenglong Army to move forward and dampening their vigor."
Several hall masters looked at each other and nodded.
Tian Hu clenched his fist and waved, "Okay, let's give Xiang Yan a show of strength first."
Bai Tu smiled and continued: "Xiang Yan is also a famous general in the world, this little trick can only make him upset for a while.
There are five entrances and exits in Daze Mountain. The Tenglong Army can be divided into five routes. They advance slowly and draw maps as they advance. When the five maps are combined into one, the terrain outside Daze Mountain is basically clear.
Among the five entrances, the northern entrance leads to Lieshan Hall and the Tomb of the Six Immortals of Emperor Yan. There are mostly flat roads. Xiang Yan's main army should take this road.
There is no danger for us to defend, Lieshan Hall must be prepared for all evacuation. As for whether to retreat into Yandi Valley or join Shennong Hall, this will depend on the subsequent situation."
Tian Meng responded with a "hmm" in a deep voice.
"The eastern entrance is Jingzhe Slope, which is connected to the northern entrance by the Vernal Equinox Stream. Shennong Hall and Kuikui Hall are responsible for guarding these two dangerous areas. The western entrance is the Autumn Equinox Ridge, which is guarded by Chiyou Hall."
Zhu Zhong, Chen Sheng, and Tian Meng successively expressed that they had received it.
Bai Tu looked at the three of them and rolled his eyes, "Tian Meng Hall Master Tian Meng not only manages Chi You Hall, but also leads Lieshan Hall part-time. There is no problem in normal times, but the situation in wartime is special. In order to avoid being unable to do both, Chi You Hall will
Let’s leave it to Tian Hu to lead for the time being.”
Tian Hu was pleasantly surprised, but he immediately thought of his elder brother and did not show too much excitement.
Tian Mengxian glanced at his younger brother and said without objection, "Okay, my second brother will temporarily lead Chi Youtang to guard the Autumn Equinox Ridge."
Tian Hu's sullen face finally couldn't hold back a smile, and he clasped his fists at the two of them, "Haha, thank you, brother, and thank you, brother Baitu. I will definitely not let Xiang Yan step across the Autumn Equinox Ridge."
"There are two final southern entrances, one is Bailuyan guarded by Gonggongtang; the other is Xiaohanshan guarded by Siyuetang.
But the enemy troops along Bailuyan can take the Shuangjiang Ridge and insert themselves into the back of Xiaohan Mountain. Siyue Hall will be destroyed if it is attacked from the front, front and back, so this hall is also prepared to evacuate."
"I got it." Situ Wanli nodded solemnly with a solemn face.
Baitu had already finished talking about the tasks of each hall, and then asked seriously: "Then, there is another top priority: the military situation is urgent. Since I am responsible for central dispatch, how can I quickly pass the instructions to each hall?"
Zhu Zhong stood up and assured: "Brother Baitu, don't worry. With the homing pigeons trained by my farmer and the secret words converted according to the calendar calculation, the smooth flow and security of the information can definitely be ensured."
Secret language, each sect has its own code based on its own theory. There is basically no possibility of being deciphered by outsiders in the world.
After hearing this, Bai Tu put aside his worries and clasped his fists towards all the hall leaders, "Please start preparing for each hall first.
Wherever the army wants to attack, wherever the city wants to attack, and wherever the people want to kill, they must know the names of the generals who are guarding them, the people on the left and right, the people who are visiting, the people who are leaving, and the people who are leaving.
King Chu sent us information, which saved us a lot of time. Now we just wait for the people in Li Yuan to send us information about the generals of the Tenglong Legion before we make new plans."
"good."
…
Sure enough, the King of Chu secretly instructed Li Yuan to package important information about the Tenglong Army and send it to the farmers, including the cost of food, grass and luggage in the army, the names and temperaments of the main generals, etc.
Tian Meng, who currently has the highest external status of the farm family, is the person Li Yuan's subordinates come into contact with.
Tian Meng was unequivocal after receiving the news and quickly asked everyone to discuss the military situation.
He handed the secret message to everyone to see, and praised Bai Tu dryly, "Your guess is right, Li Yuan indeed sent someone to contact me. The Tenglong Legion's 100,000-horse troops were divided into five groups.
Encircling Daze Mountain:
The main force, Xiang Yan, led an army of 40,000 to the northern entrance; Xiang Yan's eldest son, Xiang Qu, led an army of 15,000 to the Autumn Equinox Ridge in the west; his second son, Xiang Liang, led an army of 15,000 to the Jingzhe Slope in the east;
Long Yi of the Long clan led an army of fifteen thousand to Bailuyan in the south; Long Hu led an army of fifteen thousand to Xiaohan Mountain in the south."
It’s really here, one hundred thousand well-trained and battle-hardened Chu army!
Although the top management of the farm had been mentally prepared for the war, when it really happened, their hearts beat a little heavier.
Situ Wanli was dumbfounded when he saw the intelligence: "There is indeed support, the amount of food and baggage is huge, and the efforts of those feudal nobles are considerable."
The other hall masters were also worried.
"If Xiang Yan works steadily and has a steady stream of support from behind, we are afraid..."
Baitu smiled and dismissed their worries, "This is a great thing. The more the nobles contribute, it means that in their eyes, we are just a piece of easy fat meat, and they don't take us seriously at all.
It also shows the influence of the nobles on this military operation. They are Xiang Yan's pig teammates, and their immediate boss, the King of Chu, is holding back Xiang Yan.
The right time, right place and right people, Xiang Yan has lost the right place and right people, as long as we plan properly, defeating the Tenglong Army is just around the corner."
Tian Hu laughed: "Haha, Brother Pig, Brother Baitu said it well!"
"Yes, although Xiang Yan is strong, this troop dispatch is full of holes. We will definitely win!"
"Yes! We will win."
Baitu ignored their rising morale and just looked at the information in his hands. "Long Yi and Long Hu from the Long family have been on the battlefield for a long time and have a tacit understanding. The two of them took the southern entrance. After exploring the terrain, they all
There is a chance that they will go to the Shuangjiang Ridge to attack the back of Xiaohan Mountain and annihilate Siyuetang."
Situ Wanli quickly stood in front of him and asked seriously: "Brother Baitu, tell me, how should I respond?"
"Without him, it's just a matter of following the plan.
Long Margin is attacking Xiaohan Mountain head-on. After Long Yi discovers the road to Shuangjiang Ridge, he will definitely get in touch with him and agree to attack together.
We have arranged manpower in advance to pay close attention to Shuangjiang Ridge. Whenever there is any movement in Long Yi, we will promptly deliver the news to Siyuetang. At the same time, we will ambush a group of troops in Dahan Mountain leading to Yandi Valley.
After receiving the signal, Siyue Tang immediately abandoned his headquarters and retreated to Dahan Mountain. As soon as Long Yi came out of Shuangjiang Ridge, he directly blocked the way back. The Dahan Mountain ambush and Siyue Tang attacked him from front to back, killing him first. Then he refused to defend Dahan Mountain. Here
Being in a condescending position, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so the Dragon Margin army alone is not enough to worry about."
Situ Wanli looked at the map and clapped his hands, "That's it, Brother Baitu thinks so."
Bai Tu enjoined: "The most important thing on this journey is the manpower hiding in Shuangjiang Ridge. You must pay attention to it."
"I know, that guy Liu Ji is very clever, so I'll send him there."
