That night, Adal led the reorganized nine thousand troops to rush to the aid of King Fan. The battle there was almost about to begin and there was no need to delay.
He Ran announced his personnel arrangements in front of the generals. Yunye and Bayan'er guarded the foot of the mountain, commanding all 3,000 soldiers and 3,000 Xiangguo troops. He and the 3,000 troops led by King Feng guarded the hill area.
, Wang Jin led four thousand elites to hide in the hilly areas, ready to attack at any time.
Xiao Xiao acquiesced to his arrangement. His side occupied the high hill and had an advantage in observing the enemy's situation. No matter what tricks the other side would play, the soldiers and horses stationed at the foot of the mountain would not be in much danger. There was no need to fight with him over this.
, simply fulfill his good intentions.
Siyazima's life was not as difficult as He Ran imagined. Although she was slightly inexperienced in using troops, she was good at employing people and knew the importance of a general's unity. Therefore, she often analyzed the current situation with her subordinates since she led the army.
Let them know that once the tribe intervenes in this war to overthrow King Fan, there will be no turning back, and retreating means annihilation of the tribe.
This move was very effective, making everyone feel insecure and dare not retreat even after repeated setbacks. Although the camp was robbed this time, it was a small defeat, but it increased their confidence in White Lotus, because Yi Guo participated in the war, and with these people
Fighting against the evil-minded Central Plains people, it is already very good to be able to fight like this. If the opponent is really the omnipotent He Ran in charge of the army, this kind of small defeat cannot be considered a defeat. If it had been any other commander, the entire army would have perished.
The fifth lady's strategy of setting up camps in two places saved the army. At this time, only the fifth lady was worth relying on.
Siyazima can accept this confrontation situation. She will never do anything to attack rashly. After repeated attacks, she already knows the opponent's strength. Any rash move of hers will cause a fatal blow. Going forward is
The enemy is in the hinterland. If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation where you are attacked from all sides. The battle situation ahead is unclear. Even if she can avoid the people in front of her, she will not choose to take a detour to help Xin Yantuliang. It is too dangerous. The best way
Just by not giving the other side any chance to take action, her tribe has done its best by trapping the other side's troops. Let's look at Xin Yantuliang's next step.
Since both sides feel that this confrontation is acceptable, the outcome will naturally be peaceful. The two armies guard their camps seventy miles apart, doing the same thing: constantly sending out spies to inquire about the situation on the other side of Mount Qizari.
In this regard, He Ran's side undoubtedly has the advantage. Even if they don't send spies, King Fan will send people to deliver messages from time to time. Siyazima's spies have to go far away and rely on luck to avoid the widely spread secrets.
The sentry card is hidden, and you will be caught if you are not careful.
As time went by, He Ran's heart grew higher and higher. That day, while he was discussing the war with Xiao Xiao, someone from King Fan came to report that Xin Yantuliang's army began to move, and it seemed that it was going to take a detour to the west.
After sending the messenger, Xiao Xiao said: "The date is a little earlier than you expected."
"He is anxious. He made a date with the eastbound troops. According to the plan, the troops on the eastbound side have been moving for several days. Without knowing the situation here, he must act as soon as possible to prevent the eastbound troops from becoming a lonely army.
After Kazuya confirmed that it was a misunderstanding, he immediately decided to take a detour."
"The more anxious he is, the more likely your plan will be to succeed."
He Ran's face was very calm, and he had no intention of joking at this time, "I hope Dongfang Ao and the others can successfully ambush us and take advantage of the collapse to pursue us with minimal losses, and then we can deal with it calmly and go with Dongxing first."
Xiao Xiao was inevitably nervous inside, and said quietly: "It's best not to have any changes."
He Ran stared at the geographical map and said nothing.
"What if...what should we do?" Xiao Xiao asked cautiously.
"Withdraw immediately, let Bayan'er lead a group of troops to take over the Banwang and Dacha banners and retreat to Xiangguo, and then contact Yedu to fight against Xinyan. When the situation reaches that point, Shunguo and Yedu will definitely stand by us.
We will never let Zhao’s forces dominate the prairie.”
"I hope it won't happen one day."
"Probably not. In addition to Dongfang Ao's troops, the number of troops there is not much less than that of Xin Yan. They will not be completely defeated in a head-on confrontation. But if it really leads to a lose-lose situation, the monarchs and ministers of Shunguo will burst into laughter.
.”
Xiao Xiao frowned slightly, thinking about how to make good use of his troops if the fight ended like that.
"Okay, don't think too much. We are firmly nailed here by this white lotus. It's useless to think about anything. As for the retreat plan, I have already thought about it. I won't bother you. If the white lotus dares
Chasing her is asking for trouble." He Ran didn't want her to worry too much, so he spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Can you pretend to retreat now and let her fall into your trap? I don't think her intelligence will be that fast. Seeing us retreating towards Xiangguo, she will probably catch up with her. If we deal with her as soon as possible, we will save worry."
He Ran whispered sarcastically: "You really say that wind is like rain. I am not as generous as you. To fight this battle, we have to rely mainly on our own soldiers to fight. To be precise, it is your account."
Brother, is it necessary? Even if I beat White Lotus away, I won't be able to rush to help King Fan. I don't want to lose the lives of so many soldiers on the prairie. I won't use our own troops unless it is absolutely necessary.
When King Fan defeats Xin Yan, let him go and pack up for the eastward journey. When the time comes, I will go out with the army to make plans, which only consumes a little energy and hard work. I won't be stingy."
Xiao Xiao was a little embarrassed and had to admit that He Ran had a higher vision than himself. He could always look at the overall situation with an overlooking attitude. He knew clearly what should be given up and when to give up. In contrast,
Once he gets into a battle situation, he often only focuses on the enemy in front of him, without his condescending view of the overall situation.
Seeing Xiao Xiao's slightly embarrassed look, He Ran knew that if her attitude softened, she would be even more embarrassed, so he smiled proudly and said: "How is it? Are you convinced? You know that my reputation is not for nothing, right?"
Learn from it!”
His face immediately made Xiao Xiao feel embarrassed, and he curled his lips disdainfully and said: "I think your greatest skill is bragging!"
He Ran said glibly: "Don't look down on this braggadocio. The truth is, just talk and don't practice fake moves. Just practice and don't talk about stupid moves. Practice and talk about them is the real move. You can boast yourself to the gods.
Being able to make others believe is no small skill. Besides, I am not relying solely on bragging. I have real talent and learning. If I don’t often speak for myself, how do you know how powerful I am? I’m afraid of being too advanced.
You can’t understand the plan.”
"Go, go, go!" Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing because of his amusement, "If you were so powerful, you wouldn't have let this white lotus be nailed here. If you have the ability, drive her back to the tribe now!
"
"You think I can't do it? I'm just coaxing her to play!"
"Go and catch up!"
"You don't believe it, right? Come on, accompany me to the top to check out the enemy's situation. Then I'll send troops, and then I'll kick her ass all the way and send her back to her hometown!"
Xiao Xiao knew that he was bored in the tent and wanted to take a breather. He stood up with a smile and joked with him: "Okay! If you don't do it, I will let Xiaoling kick you all the way back to Yi."
Go to the country!"
