If Xilan didn't have an army of 300,000 and had the absolute advantage of not being afraid of sneak attacks, they would never dare to stop here!
On the surrounding rock-solid high sand dunes, there are Xilan military flags, and there are sentry posts high on each one. The soldiers patrolling back and forth have never stopped, which is enough to show their caution.
Even with the absolute advantage, Xilan's army did not take it lightly.
Under such strict precautions, not to mention a sneak attack with 50,000 soldiers and horses, even 5,000 would be discovered immediately.
After all, military operations are not as easy to hide as individuals, and a small amount of enemy troops mixed in will not have an impact on them, so there is no need to worry here.
The leader of the army this time is Xue Yi, a well-known veteran of the Xilan Dynasty. He is known for his cunning and cunning, and is also known as the Old Fox.
Bei Chenyan and Ling Xiyue had never confronted him head-on, so they might not know, but Ma Long knew this man very well. When Xi Lan and Tian Lin had a small conflict before, Ma Long was still in his hands. I have suffered losses many times.
At this time, in the military tent in the hinterland of the valley, Xue Yizheng and a group of generals from Xilan were discussing the specific deployment and formations for tomorrow's siege.
They have decided to attack Gubeikou tomorrow!
"We have an absolute advantage in military strength. We will use wheel battles and fish scale formations to wear them down bit by bit!" the first general suggested, and he was even more confident as he spoke.
"It's okay for my subordinates to watch." Another deputy general agreed.
But after finishing speaking, some of the generals next to him shook their heads in disapproval, "The fish scale formation is good, but like this, the defense at the rear is relatively weak. If someone sneak attacks from the rear, it will be in trouble."
"And once the time is extended, we are likely to be attacked by reinforcements from Yizhou, which is not good."
"Then use the Long Snake Formation. You can take care of the head and the tail. The only thing is that the troops are scattered and cannot be concentrated to capture Gubeikou." The deputy general suggested again.
At this time, Xue Yi, who had a serious look on his face, said, "I think this time we can directly attack the whole line and set up a frontal arrow formation." He looked at the sand table and raised his hand a little, "In one go, I can swallow Gubeikou in one go!"
The lieutenants looked at each other.xdw8
Such a desperate tactics was not like Xue Yi's style, so everyone was a little surprised.
Xue Yi's eyes flashed and he said, "Now that the news of Bei Chenyan and Ling Xiyue's death has made the Tianlin Army anxious, we must seize this unique and critical moment to catch them off guard."
"We can't wait for Tianlin to come to his senses, this opportunity cannot be missed!"
The deputy general frowned and said, "But Xue Shuai, have you forgotten that although Gubeikou is far away from Qingzhou, according to reports from informants, there is still a lot of black fire in Gubeikou, enough for Tianlin to resist several waves of attacks."
"The reason why my subordinates want to use wheel fighting is that they want to be consumed by Black Fire first."
The person next to him nodded. Having experienced a head-on confrontation with Black Fire before, he was still frightened when he thought about it. "This is the most troublesome thing. Otherwise, we don't have to leave Mingbei Pass and attack Gubeikou." ."
"If we use the sharp arrow formation, our elite troops will be wasted as soon as we go up. We will be unable to continue and it will be difficult to fight again!"
This is how it is on the battlefield. This is a cruel game with tens of millions of people, but what is competing is the intelligence and mental strength of the leader. Even if the advantages are huge, one wrong decision may still lead to a complete defeat of the battle!
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Xue Yi wrinkled his brows that were mixed with grayish white. When he heard the word "black fire", his expression became solemn.
More humanely said, "Yes, Xue Shuai, General Yi Mo still has to not be too anxious. Tianlin's reinforcements will not be able to arrive in a moment. Bei Chenyan and Ling Xiyue were both dead. In such a short time, it is still possible."
Can you fake a corpse?"
After saying this, there was a burst of laughter in the military tent.
For the generals of the Xilan Dynasty, the most exciting news during this period is the confirmed death of Beichenyan and Ling Xiyue. How can you not laugh when you hear someone making fun of them like this?
For a time, the tense atmosphere of approaching war dissipated a lot.
Little did they know that the man they said was so coldly dead was now lying on the sand dune above their military camp, his corpse was really alive.
"My dear, look, the one at the front is the Pioneer Camp, with about 50,000 troops stationed there." Ma Long lay next to Ling Xiyue and spoke to her in a timid manner.
Ling Xiyue lay in the dark night, as if invisible.
In addition to her slender and thin body, her whole body seemed to blend into the sand dunes. If you look at her at a glance, you really can't find her figure unless you look carefully.
Malone is different, he is more unique.
That burly and bear-like body is like a cow!
That big bulging lump was lying next to Ling Xiyue. Although he had tried his best to hide himself, this was really not his strong point and he didn't look like that family member.
If he wasn't familiar with all kinds of military formations and terrain, Ling Xiyue would probably have kicked him to the ground.
"The left wing is a guard camp, with about 50,000 people." Ma Long pointed to the patches of fire and gave Ling Xiyue a general explanation, "The right wing is also a guard camp, with 50,000 people. They are stationed in the Crane Wing Formation for defense.
It is extremely flexible. If it encounters an enemy attack, it can immediately surround the enemy, which is extremely flexible."
As he spoke, Ma Long cursed in his mind, Xue Yi, Xue Yi, you old fox, you are still so cautious!
Ling Xiyue's eyes narrowed slightly, her clear eyes shining brightly in the dark night.
She scanned the pattern of the army thoughtfully...
"Where's the one at the back? It's the one with the brightest fire." Ling Xiyue looked into the distance and suddenly asked.
"The hinterland in the rear." Ma Long was about to say, "That is the main force of Xi Lan, about 150,000 people."
As he said this, he mentioned in passing, "My dear, look at the surrounding ridges. There are many patrol defense lines in the front, rear, left and right, as well as vanguard battalions, and wing guards on the left and right. You will definitely not be able to get through."
"Can't you make it through..." Ling Xiyue's lips curled up slightly.
What about letting it come over?
Why was this little ancestor staring at that place? When Ma Long looked at Ling Xiyue's eyes, he suddenly felt something was wrong!
His tongue was knotted, "Mom, our mission is to devour the Pioneer Camp. Don't mess around. We only have a thousand people, and we can't even count them as bait!"
It's not what he said, it's not even enough people to deliver food, let alone a sneak attack.
"It doesn't matter whether you can succeed or not. Madam, you have to go back safely, otherwise even if my subordinates have ten lives, they won't be enough for the emperor to kill..."
"Come on, come on." Ling Xiyue quickly stopped Ma Long's thoughts and suddenly regretted bringing him here.
She met his nervous eyes and was quite speechless, "Am I the kind of person who messes around?"
Malone's hesitant look: If you are not, then who is...
