Ning Chen did not understand the situation of Dazhi Bodhisattva.
However, knowing or not understanding it will not change your tactics.
It's just a question of whether to advance the decisive battle or postpone the decisive battle.
After waiting for half a month, the entire 120,000-strong army arrived.
20,000 forbidden troops and 100,000 tiger troops.
There are also Ning Chen's own four thousand city defense troops.
Before going directly to the battle, Ning Chen still needs to complete a ritual.
Point general.
This is what Zhao Tuo told Ning Chen.
"Does this have any special purpose? Or is it just for ceremony?" Ning Chen asked Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo and Ning Chen explained: "This is not just a ritual.
Another main function of point general is to block the commanding general's information.
Make it impossible for the opponent to calculate the situation of the general, lest the general be beheaded by surprise."
Ning Chen nodded, feeling that this function was still very important.
Taoism is not the only one who is good at divination.
There are also people among Buddhists who are good at deduction.
If the location of the general is captured all at once.
When the time comes, a direct decapitation operation will be a great pleasure.
"Why haven't you heard of this link before?" Ning Chen asked curiously.
Ning Chen has participated in many battles, big and small, but he has never been to such a stage before.
Zhao Tuo continued to explain to Ning Chen: "This kind of concealment needs to bind the general to the national destiny.
It is because the national destiny is so strong that the opponent cannot predict it.
Or you need to pay a very large price to calculate it.
Such conditions did not exist in the past.”
What Zhao Tuo said was very straightforward.
It’s not that the Wu Dynasty had no national destiny in the past, it was just the national destiny of the past, which is called a decline.
With just a little bit of national luck, your opponent only needs to pay a small price to find it.
Rather than being embarrassed, it is better to omit this link altogether.
This would at least prevent opponents from figuring out the remaining national destiny of the Wu Dynasty so quickly.
It's different now. The Nine Tripods National Fortune has at least reached the Six Tripods.
Maybe all the seven tripods already exist.
With such a heavy national destiny, even if it is calculated by a first-class calculation, it is inevitable that it will fall.
Standing on the temporarily built general ordering platform, Ning Chen also activated his own general ordering.
"Li Ziqiu comes forward and obeys the order." Ning Chen shouted loudly while standing on the general stage.
Li Ziqiu stepped out of the queue and said respectfully: "Li Ziqiu listens to the order!"
"Li Ziqiu leads the guerrilla generals and commands four thousand vanguard battalions."
"Students take orders!"
"Wu Jinzhi, Wu Tui stepped forward and listened to the order."
"Wu Jinzhi and Wu Tuizhi led Guo Xiaowei to command the left and right sides of the vanguard battalion respectively."
"Students take orders!"
After all the vanguard battalions are clicked, it will be over.
Ning Chen began to order the three armies.
"Xu Mu came forward and listened to the order!"
Xu Muzhi stepped out and said seriously: "Xu Muzhi obeys the order!"
"Xu Mu led General Huaihua and commanded 30,000 left troops."
"Xu Muzhi takes the order!"
Then Ning Chen drew up a list of generals for himself based on Xu Muzhi and Zhao Tuo.
Each starting point will be.
This list was negotiated between Xu Muzhi and Zhao Tuo, and each position has the most suitable candidates.
"Zhao Tuo comes forward and obeys the order!"
After the left and right armies are all arranged, the center army is left.
Zhao Tuo took a big step, stood in the middle of the crowd, and obeyed the order.
"Zhao Tuo is the general of the town army, commanding 50,000 Chinese troops."
"The last general takes command!"
Zhao Tuo responded forcefully.
It was announced that when Zhao Tuo arrived, all the points were finished.
All the people selected by Ning Chen now vaguely felt some subtle connection between them and the national destiny of the Wu Dynasty.
This subtle connection is enough to make them invisible in the expert's deduction.
The soldiers looked at the darkness and had no end in sight.
Ning Chen also felt a sense of anger in his heart.
"You officers and men are about to go on an expedition. I have nothing else to give you, so I will give you Baili Wenhua. I look forward to your triumphant return!"
After Ning Chen finished speaking, he wrote an expedition poem out of thin air.
[Dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to destroy it, and the light of armor opens toward the golden scales of the sun.
The sound of the trumpet fills the autumn sky, stuffed with swallow fat and the night is purple.
A half-rolled red flag stands near the Yishui River, and the sound of heavy frost and cold drums cannot be heard.
I will repay you on the golden platform and support the Jade Dragon to die for you!]
The poem is completed and hundreds of miles of culture extend directly to the west.
Wherever the culture goes, the Buddhist spirit of the Western Regions disappears.
This hundred miles of culture is enough to ensure that all the armies going out will not be affected by the Buddha's will within these hundred miles.
Of course, the most important thing is the momentum shown in Ning Chen's poems, which is exactly how majestic they are at this moment.
"Victory everyone!"
Ning Chen raised the wine bowl and said loudly.
"Triumph!"
"Triumph!"
…
The sound below was like a tsunami, one wave higher than the other.
This means it's outdoors. If it's indoors, the sound can definitely lift the roof off.
Ning Chen drank it all in one gulp.
Then the forward battalion set off first.
The forward battalion is entirely composed of Ning Chen's city defense troops.
All are equipped with monsters as mounts.
Coupled with traveling light, it is most suitable to be a pioneer of path exploration.
There are 30,000 troops on each side on the left and right, and the proportion of each military service is relatively balanced.
However, the number of cavalry is still about two thousand more than that of infantry and archers.
These four thousand cavalry are mainly used for mobility.
If the Chinese army is attacked, these four thousand cavalry can quickly rush back to rescue the Chinese army.
The Chinese army is dominated by infantry.
Because the next battles will all be based on siege operations.
Therefore, infantry is the main force.
The cavalry did not play a big role in siege warfare.
There are two armies on the left and right, with a mighty force of 30,000 tigers.
The central army consists of 50,000 people, 10,000 are the imperial army, and 40,000 are the tiger army.
The remaining 10,000 imperial troops stayed in Baijia City in Hezhou to assist Ning Chen in protecting Baijia City.
In addition to infantry, the Chinese army also has a brand-new army, artillery.
Because of changes in materials and dragging methods.
The Italian artillery is fully ready to go with the army.
The easy-to-move Italian artillery will also become a weapon for siege this time.
The Chinese army carried a total of twenty Italian guns.
At that time, all the artillery pieces will be lined up in sequence.
Twenty gates attacked the city at the same time, based on the situation of the city walls of the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions.
It only takes three rounds of attacks and the city wall will be broken.
When the time comes, the army will rush in along the breach, and the city will be destroyed.
Of course in addition to these conventional arrangements.
There are also many masters in the army.
Two third-level warriors.
One is Zhao Tuo, and the other is a third-grade member of the Forbidden Army.
The fourth-grade warriors have the largest number. Among the three armies, there are 200 fourth-grade warriors each.
Adding up the three groups, there are 600 fourth-grade warriors.
For grades four and below, calculations are in units of thousands.
So even at the master level, Wu Chao's side is completely worthy.
If the Western Region sends a second-grade Bodhisattva to fight.
As long as he is entangled, Prince Jing and Marquis Dingguo can arrive within a quarter of an hour.
Sometimes the large number of second products may not necessarily play a decisive role.
The quality of the second product is also very important.
Don't look at the Wu Dynasty, there are only two second-grade ones at present.
But it is easy to use and can solve problems quickly.
It can be used directly as a first-class product.
After the vanguard battalion left, the three armies on the left, center and right were also ready to move out.
"General Zhao, I have to turn to you next. I can't move with the army, so you can control the three armies for me." Ning Chen entrusted Zhao Tuo to say.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, even if your body is shattered to pieces, this battle will definitely lead to a triumphant victory!"
Ning Chen nodded and said: "Okay."
After finishing speaking, Ning Chen told Xu Mu: "The art of war lies in variety.
There is no fixed formula for the art of war.
What is written in the Military Book is only the most basic changes.
In actual combat, you must know how to learn and apply.
If that's not possible, I have a simple solution.
It is better to have no books at all than to believe in all the books.
Just pretend that you don't have any military instructions and just rely on your own instinct to make arrangements."
Although Xu Muzhi was very upset about Ning Chen's instructions.
However, Xu Muzhi had to admit that every word of Ning Chen's instructions was on point.
"I know." Xu Muzhi said angrily.
Ning Chen smiled and said: "If you come back victorious this time, I will give it to you as I said, holding the bright moon and picking the stars. There is no one like me in the world."
When Xu Muzhi heard Ning Chen's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
After getting excited, Xu Muzhi quickly calmed down.
It feels like there is definitely something wrong here.
Ning Chen has sent this sentence to himself now. It must be that Ning Chen has thought of something more domineering, so he sent this sentence to himself.
"What new words did you think of?" Xu Muzhi asked Ning Chen warily.
Ning Chen smiled slightly and said: "No matter what new words I think of, it has nothing to do with you.
If you don’t want it, then I will use the two sentences in turn from now on."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Muzhi really gritted his teeth with hatred.
However, his literary talent, especially in terms of pretentiousness, is far inferior to Ning Chen's.
So this sentence must still be left behind.
"Okay, deal!"
Xu Muzhi gritted his teeth and said.
"When you return in triumph, those words will be yours." Ning Chen patted Xu Muzhi on the shoulder and said.
"Without this, I will definitely return in triumph." Xu Muzhi said confidently.
"It's good to have such confidence."
Ning Chen smiled and said.
Before sunset, the three armies from the left, center and right also left Baijiacheng.
After all the armies left, the gates of Baijia City were all closed.
For the next period of time, Baijia City could not enter or leave.
It's not possible to bring supplies in either.
Judging from the current material reserves in Baijiacheng, there will be no problem even if it lasts for another ten or eight years.
If this is the case, then there is no need to open the city gate anymore.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
After the Pioneer Battalion left Baijiacheng.
With the advantage of the monster's speed, it only took half a day to leave Ning Chen's Baili Wenhua Road.
At this dividing line, Li Ziqiu also called Wu Jinzhi and Wu Tuizhi over, preparing to arrange the next combat mission for them.
"Teacher, can I tell you my own thoughts first?" Wu Tuizhi said positively.
Li Ziqiu nodded and said, "Just tell me."
Wu Tuizhi received permission and began to express his thoughts: "Teacher, I think we should move forward quickly.
While the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions has not yet gained a firm foothold, while they don't know that we can be so fast.
Get into the hinterland of the Western Region as soon as possible and find out as much information as possible.
If we encounter some small towns, we can capture them and use them as supply points for the army behind."
Li Ziqiu nodded and asked Wu Jinzhi: "What do you think?"
Wu Jinzhi said: "Teacher, I don't think it's appropriate to be so rash.
I still suggest that we fight steadily and try not to stray too far from the main force.
For example, today we are too far away from the main force.
I suggest that we take advantage of the darkness and retreat about fifty miles.
In this way, our safety can be guaranteed by not straying too far from the main force."
After hearing Wu Jinzhi's words, Wu Tuizhi sneered and said: "Now we are fighting.
There is nothing in war that is not dangerous.
And as soldiers, we must advance without retreating.
I remember our Baijia City had a slogan.
It’s called ‘when the formation is broken, there will be death but no life’, we should have such an momentum.”
Wu Jinzhi frowned and Lao Gao said very seriously: "I think this matter is absolutely inappropriate.
We are just pioneers, and pioneers should do what pioneers do.
It is too far away from the main force behind and is out of touch with the main force behind.
It will cause misjudgment among the troops, so my opinion is to step back."
The two brothers argued endlessly, but finally looked at Li Ziqiu and said, "Teacher, what do you think we should do?"
Li Ziqiu said: "I think we have tens of thousands of troops now, so we should be more flexible in what we do.
If you retreat and want to advance, your teacher will definitely support you.
The division gives you two thousand troops, and you can quickly penetrate into the enemy's hinterland to gather intelligence.
But remember to send someone back every day to report on the enemy situation ahead."
When Wu Tuizhi heard that Li Ziqiu actually supported his opinion, he quickly said: "Thank you, teacher, for your support. I will definitely complete the task if I quit."
After saying this, Wu Tuizhi stood up and prepared to leave.
"Where are you going?" Li Ziqiu stopped Wu Tuizhi and asked.
Wu Tuizhi said: "Teacher, I plan to set off overnight and try to catch the first city in front of me by surprise. Even if I can't defeat them, I can still go around them during the night and penetrate deeper into them."
After listening to Wu Tuizhi's words, Li Ziqiu nodded and said: "Very good, go ahead. Remember to report your specific situation every day."
After Wu Tuizhi left, Li Ziqiu looked at Wu Jinzhi and said, "I will also give you two thousand troops and horses, and leave them all to your command and decision."
Wu Jinzhi decisively refused and said: "Teacher, I am not the one who leads the troops. Leave the people in my hands, and I may lead the troops directly back to Baijiacheng."
Li Ziqiu said to Wu Jinzhi: "As long as you don't take people back to Baijiacheng, you can take people to make the decisions you want, but you must also report your own movements every day."
After a pause, Li Ziqiu said: "This matter has been settled like this and cannot be refuted."
Wu Jinzhi opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.
