Sauron's 15,000 troops are all under the Tianlang Pass. How many people he can have to raid the Tianshui City territory from the sea, at most a thousand people, is amazing. The total number of guarding troops on Rock Island does not even have 3,000 people.
Even if he spent a large sum of gold coins and hired more than 10,000 ruffians, they would still be a complete mob.
Moreover, the previous Fei Yao message had made it clear that Suo Hanyi had frightened the crowd of more than 10,000 people to the point of peeing with just a loud shout, and then he led 2,000 cavalry to kill them with corpses everywhere.
Then, Suo Hanyi led two thousand cavalry to chase Sauron. However, Sauron was on the run with only more than a hundred warriors beside him.
If you think about it with your eyes closed, or even with your toes, Suo Hanyi is bound to win. Sauron will either die or become a prisoner, there is no second outcome.
Sure enough, the next day's letter from the Flying Harrier flew over again. It stated clearly that Suo Hanyi had returned with a great victory, and that Sauron had been captured alive and would be taken to Tianlang Pass in the near future. (This letter from the Flying Harrier flew over again.
The letter was forced to be sent out because the entire secret base of Zhen Ning was taken away.)
As a result, everyone paid no attention to Tianshui City and Sauron, and focused all their energy on Yan Yan's army under Tianlang Pass.
Why did the situation suddenly change, Suo Hanyi died in battle, and Sauron captured the main city of Tianshui.
Moreover, Sauron is leading thousands of troops southward to attack Tianlang Pass from behind.
how so?
There are only a hundred people around Sauron. How could he defeat Suo Hanyi?
Is he a god?
Not only Zhen Ning, but everyone in Tianlang Pass seemed to be completely stunned. They couldn't believe this result at all.
So, they immediately sent out spies to verify the authenticity of the news.
Without waiting for the reports from these spies, the surviving spies in Tianshui City also fled to Tianlang Pass, confirming the authenticity of the news.
Sauron has completely taken control of the main city of Tianshui, and all 6,000 city guards have pledged their allegiance. The 4,000 troops left by the rebel lords in Tianshui City have also been captured, and all officers above centurion have been killed, including Nurdan's son.
Nu Dahai.
After hearing the news, Nurdan's eyes went dark, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he roared: "Sauron, you and I are incompatible, and I will definitely tear you into pieces."
In a short period of time, the entire Tianlang Pass was completely shaken and morale was low.
Because the messenger had his last breath when he rushed into Tianlang Pass, and he shouted directly before he had time to report in front of Zhen Ning, so many people heard the news that Tianshui City had fallen and Suo Hanyi had died in the battle.
One spreads to ten, ten spreads to a hundred, a hundred spreads to ten thousand.
Finally, all the soldiers in Tianlang Pass knew the news. And it had been spread to an extremely exaggerated level.
It is said that Sauron's martial arts was so high that he defeated two thousand cavalry by himself and killed Suo Hanyi.
In short, Sauron was described as a god descending to earth. People were panicked for a while, and the whole situation fell into an extremely unbearable state.
…
The first thing Princess Ning did after she woke up was to hold a four-person meeting.
Nurdan.Guiqinqu, Turingduo.Zhenning.
"No matter how shocking it is, this thing has already happened." Zhen Ning said: "What should we do next?"
The other three fell into silence.
"Sauron is less than two hundred miles away from us." Zeng Ning said: "In more than a day at most, he will appear behind us. Where to go needs to be decided."
Still no one spoke.
Xi Ning named him and said: "Nurdan, you are the only one from Tianshui City here, please tell me."
Nurdan took a deep breath and said respectfully: "We don't have to do anything. We still sit in the fortified city and wait for Sauron and Yan Yan's army to attack."
Zhen Ning said: "That's like being attacked from both sides."
Nurdan said: "Yes, we were attacked from both sides. But we still have 19,000 people in our hands. Sauron and Yan Yan combined, that's only 19,000."
Zhen Ning said: "Then don't forget how weak the rear defense of Tianlang Pass is. By the time you are attacked from both sides, it will be too late!"
Nurdan opened his mouth to say something more, but in the end he nodded respectfully and said, "I am stupid."
"Turinguo, what did the officer corps you brought say?" asked Ning.
Turing Duo said: "We feel that we should send elite troops to take the initiative to attack Sauron."
Zhen Ning said: "Who should be sent to fight Sauron?"
Turing Duo said: "There are four thousand troops in black and five thousand troops in the navy. These nine thousand troops will go north to attack Sauron. Nurdan and other lords' ten thousand troops will stay at Tianlang Pass."
Zhen Ning said: "Can nine thousand beat Sauron's five or six thousand? Can he win?"
Turing Duo thought for a while, nodded and said: "Maybe win."
Zhen Ning asked: "Can that kill Sauron?"
Turing Duo shook his head and said: "It's difficult. We can only resolve the temporary crisis and prolong the war."
Zhen Ning nodded, then looked at Guiqin Channel: "What do you think?"
Guiqinqu thought for a while and said: "At this time, the main city of Tianshui is empty. We should send a large force to evacuate Tianlang Pass, avoid Sauron's army, and take a detour to attack the main city of Tianshui."
"A detour? Is there a road?" Zhen Ning asked.
Nurdan said: "There is a road, but it is a mountain road. It is difficult to walk and the war horses cannot pass at all."
Zhen Ning closed his eyes. These three plans were all very, very bad, and every plan was in danger of ruin.
"Nurdan, do you think we should stick to the Tianlang Pass and wait for Sauron and Yan Yan to attack from both front and back." Zeng Ning said: "What do you think the winning rate will be if you do this?"
Nurdan closed his eyes, thought for a while and said: "The winning rate is 30%. After all, we are three armies. It is difficult to unite as one, and my army of 10,000 is not strong enough."
Zhen Ning said: "Turing Duo, do you think we should let 9,000 elites attack Sauron, while Nurdan's 10,000 weak troops should stay at Tianlang Pass. What is the winning rate of your plan?"
Turing Duo closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Less than 30%, this is full of uncertainty. No matter which link goes wrong, our army will be wiped out. Sauron's thousands of city guards can hold on longer. Or
The 10,000 troops left behind by Nurdan and others can hold out for a shorter period of time, and we will all die."
Zhen Ning asked again: "Gui Qinqu. Your opinion is to go around the mountain road to defeat the main city of Tianshui. What is your winning rate?"
Guiqin Channel: “It’s less than 30%, or even lower.”
Zhen Ning closed his eyes in pain. The three plans all had less than a 30% winning rate. Do they have to be destroyed and completely defeated?
As the supreme commander of this Tianshui City battle, what did she do wrong?
In terms of the art of war, she did nothing wrong. She chose the safest plan with the lowest loss. She stood in the fortified city and killed Yan Yan's army.
But who would have thought that Sauron would be so versatile that he would dare to enter the hinterland of Tianshui City with more than a thousand people?
At the beginning of the war, there were three plans.
The first plan of Nurdan and others was to take the initiative to attack while Yan Yan's army was tired after a long journey and had not built any fortifications.
This plan was rejected by Zhen Ning, who felt that the cost was too high. Yan Yan's army is good at field combat. This plan is completely based on short attacks and long attacks.
The third plan is to ask the Tianshui City Guards to bypass Baiyun County, go behind Yan Yan's army, and attack them from front to back with the Tianlang Pass army.
This plan was also rejected by Zhen Ning. He was worried that the Tianshui City Guards would be deceived by Sauron.
She chose the second option, which seemed the safest and most perfect, to defend the fortified city and kill Yan Yan's army.
At present, it seems that this conservative mentality is the root cause of today's crisis.
If we follow the first plan of Nurdan and others, even though it is a short attack and a long attack, they may kill a thousand enemies and suffer a tragic victory of 800 losses, but they will win in the end.
If the tactics of Suo Hanyi were followed, Yan Yan's army would have been completely wiped out by now, and the cost of casualties to the coalition forces would be very small.
Now, because of his own caution, he actually put the coalition forces into a terrible situation.
Sometimes, a handful of good cards in your hand can kill someone. Even if you have four bombs, you can't let go, and even if you have a king, you can't give them up. In the end, everyone has run out of cards, and you are holding all the good cards in your hand to death.
Xi Ning gritted his teeth and said: "The reason why we are in today's situation is entirely my fault. I made the mistake of being cautious and trying to be perfect."
"I don't dare." Nurdan said quickly: "It is the villain's inability to do things that makes the situation so unbearable."
Zhen Ning said: "Now, it's time to sink the ship. We have just discussed it. Whether we sit still, attack Sauron actively, or take a detour to attack the main city of Tianshui, the winning rate is less than 30%.
.”
Seeing the fanatical expression and determined gaze on Xi Ning's face, Turing Duo's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Zhen Ning said: "On that day, I was too cautious, which led to today's situation. So today, we need to break the boat and attack Yan Yan's camp at night! Once we win, we will not only save the crisis, but also achieve a decisive victory."
As soon as these words came out, the three people present were shocked.
Turing Duo said: "However, Yan Yan's army is best at field battles, and they have been recuperating for many days. It will be very difficult to take the initiative now."
Si Ning said: "I see that those fortifications are just wooden fences, and there are some horse barriers."
All of a sudden, some of the people present didn't know how to answer. Although these wooden simple defenses may not seem like much, they are very useful even if they just slow down the attack.
Zhen Ning continued: "Furthermore, if you want to avoid being attacked from both sides, this is the only way, right?"
This is true. Whether you continue to stay at Tianlang Pass or take the initiative to attack Sauron, you may be attacked from both sides.
Because Yan Yan's army is too close, and it will move as soon as Zhen Ning's coalition forces move.
Take the second option as an example. Nine thousand men from the Black Army and the Linhai Navy go to attack Sauron, while Nurdan and others' ten thousand weak troops stay at Tianlang Pass.
In this case, the most likely result is that soon after the nine thousand elites left, Yan Yan's fifteen thousand army attacked Tianlang Pass.
When the nine thousand elites and Sauron's thousands of city guards collided head-on and started fighting, the Tianlang Pass behind them had already fallen, and Yan Yan's army came directly from behind to kill them.
And if they take the initiative to attack Yan Yan's army, Sauron's army is still two hundred miles away, and it will take at least a day and a night to arrive. With this day and night, the war with Yan Yan will be over long ago.
Turing Duo said: "If this is the case, it will be a head-on confrontation."
Ji Ning said: "We have 19,000 people, and Yan Yan only has 15,000 people. We are three armies. Yan Yan's army is composed of many mercenaries. I think our winning rate is at least
Four percent."
Nurdan Turingduo, Gui Qinqu and others looked at each other and tried to persuade them later.
"Don't try to persuade me any more, I have made up my mind!" Zhen Ning said categorically: "Now there is no way out. The only way to survive is to sink the cauldron and sink the boat. Sauron dared to raid Tianshui City with a thousand people. We have
With 19,000 men, don’t you dare to attack Yan Yan’s 15,000 men?”
Then, Zhen Ning stood up suddenly and said: "I give an order to mobilize all the troops in Tianlang Pass and go out to attack Yan Yan's army."
"Yes!" Nurdan, Guiqinqu, and Turingduo shouted in unison.
The entire battle has come full circle and is back to where it started.
Soon, Nurdan and others thought of another possibility. They took the initiative to attack Yan Yan's army. It would be good to win. Even if they could not win, they could still escape most of the army. After all, it was a field battle. And it was a night battle.
As for guarding the Tianlang Pass, if you lose, your entire army will be wiped out, and you won't even have anywhere to escape.
However, this reason cannot be said or done.
However, at this moment, a huge silver wolf horn sounded outside, followed by a shocking war drum.
After a while, the entire ground seemed to begin to tremble. There was a dense and trembling roar of footsteps.
Then, a guard from outside rushed in and hissed: "Princess Princess. My lords, Yan Yan's army is attacking Tianlang Pass!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the four people present changed dramatically.
Well, Yan Yan, just when the four of them decided to take the initiative, Yan Yan took the initiative to attack Tianlang Pass.
Turing Duo said coldly: "Yan Yan wants our entire army to be annihilated."
Xing Ning gasped for breath, walked out of the castle balcony, and looked out.
Yan Yan's 15,000-strong army lit up countless torches, like stars in the sky, and surged in like a tidal wave.
These ten days were enough for Yan Yan to create a large number of siege equipment, such as huge door pillars and countless wall climbing ladders.
"Bang bang bang bang..." Fifteen thousand troops, fully armed and armored, marching in neat steps, the sound of metal hitting the ground frightened everyone.
The equipment of this army cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins. This much money was originally used to arm an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people, but now it is only used on 15,000 people, whether it is weapons or armor.
it's the best.
…
Yan Yan rode another liger and walked at the front of the army, narrowing his eyes and looking down at the high city wall of Tianlang Pass.
A few hours ago, he also received news from Sauron. The main city of Tianshui has been captured, and Sauron is heading south with five thousand troops to attack Tianlang Pass from behind. (Four thousand city guards, and another thousand
They are the elite of Rock Island. Originally, this army was responsible for robbing and killing the messengers at Tianlang Pass. When Sauron went south to Tianlang Pass, they met Sauron halfway.)
Yan Yan was indeed deeply shocked at that time.
Sauron really did it. He really took down the main city of Tianshui with a thousand men and killed Suo Hanyi.
This person is really like a monster.
Originally, Yan Yan's safest strategy was to stay in the camp and wait for the Zhenning coalition forces to lose their temper and take the initiative to attack. This way, the losses would be minimal and 90% possible to win. The only drawback was that the enemy would not be able to be annihilated and would escape.
most.
And these escaped enemies will become the so-called Tianshui opposition forces. With the support and arms of caring people, they will become a long-term trouble for Tianshui City.
Therefore, Yan Yan made a decisive decision and attacked the Tianlang Pass. In this way, he could seal the enemy in the Tianlang Pass, and then wait for Sauron's army to attack from behind and annihilate all the enemies.
As a result, Yan Yan's army will suffer heavy casualties.
But he didn't care. He wanted to tell Sauron that you are strong, but I am not a vegetarian. I, the Silver Wolf Legion, have never been afraid of death.
The risks are high, but the rewards are greater.
In just two quarters of an hour, Yan Yan's army had gathered less than a kilometer in front of Tianlang Pass.
"Everyone says that our Silver Wolf Legion is good at field battles but not good at attacking cities." Yan Yan said loudly: "The voice has spread to every corner, so today let us tell the world that our Silver Wolf Legion is not only good at field battles, but also
To attack the city, even if it involves blood and corpses, it must be piled up."
"镪..." Yan Yan suddenly pulled out his sword and roared: "Attack the city."
Suddenly, thousands of strong men rushed up like a tide carrying huge siege ladders.
