"Then what is my mission?" Hong Chengchou looked at Nangong Aotian and asked in confusion.
"It's very simple. We need to retreat in an orderly manner with an army of 300,000 people. The retreat speed cannot be too fast or too slow. Just make sure to contain the enemy and lead them to Byron." Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
"They should be coming to the imperial capital. Byron City is the only place they must pass through?" Hong Chengchou looked at Nangong Aotian and said doubtfully, "Why are you still attracting them?"
"Of course we must attract them and make them think that we are retreating to Byron in an orderly and large-scale manner, intending to defend Byron, so that they will not have much time to consider my other arrangements." Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
"Other arrangements, what arrangements?" Hong Chengchou looked at Nangong Aotian in confusion and asked.
"You don't need to worry about this." Nangong Aotian said with a smile: "You will naturally know when the time comes. All you need to do is complete my mission. Remember, don't throw the enemy too far away. Let the enemy think you are doing what you want.
Just retreat hastily and do your best."
"Yes, I know what to do." Hong Chengchou nodded quickly and said.
"After reaching Byron, you can arrange your army to stay in Byron." Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
"What about the cities around Byron? Does anyone need to be stationed there?" Hong Chengchou thought for a while and said.
"I will consider it there, lest they bypass Byron City and attack our imperial capital." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "Don't worry, they don't dare to have such an idea."
"Then my subordinates will go get ready immediately." Hong Chengchou nodded quickly and said.
"Go to the palace tomorrow morning. The emperor will give you a formal appointment document and some other arrangements." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said: "After the matter is over, you can rush to the border immediately. Remember not to
If we engage in large-scale operations easily, the 300,000 defenders on the border cannot suffer losses."
"Yes." Hong Chengchou nodded quickly.
Seeing Hong Chengchou walking out and seeing that it was already getting late, Nangong Aotian returned to the Duke's Mansion after having lunch.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Nangong Aotian immediately went to find Li Youran.
"Xiaotian, why did you come to me?" Li Youran looked at Nangong Aotian and asked.
"Master, now we need to organize all the warriors of the Chinese Empire. Just relying on the Martial Emperors is not enough, right?"
"Yes, I have already made arrangements for this. The warriors from our Xiaoyao Sect, the warriors from the Piaomiao Sect, and the warriors from various sects in the Chinese Empire will be here during this period. However, they have all sent some representatives. At this time
The national security is in danger, and no one has any reason to hide and relax." Li Youran said with a smile.
"That's good, I came here to discuss this matter with you." Nangong Aotian said quickly.
"Oh, tell me what you think." Li Youran said with a smile.
"I need to dispatch fifty warriors with strength above Martial Lord to General Beigong Zangfeng, and another hundred warriors with strength above Martial Lord to follow the commander of the Huangfu Army and the Eastern Army Commander to ensure the implementation of my entire plan.
." Nangong Aotian said quickly: "Although most of the enemy's warriors should appear in Byron City by then, with so many Martial Emperors here, those warriors with average strength will be of little use."
"Okay, just as you said, I will arrange the manpower when the time comes," Li Youran thought for a while and said.
"Okay, then I will ask the commanders of the Dongfang Army and Huangfu Army to come to your place. They will set off in ten days. I wonder if they can make arrangements?" Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"There is no problem, because the warriors from our Xiaoyao Sect and the warriors from the Piaomiao Sect are almost here, and the warriors from some other sects will arrive later." Li Youran said with a smile.
"That's good." Nangong Aotian nodded with confidence.
"Is the army deployed properly?" Li Youran looked at Nangong Aotian and asked.
"Everything is ready." Nangong Aotian said quickly.
"Well, I will take care of the dispatching of warriors then." Li Youran nodded and said with a smile.
After discussing the deployment of those warriors with Li Youran again, Nangong Aotian basically felt at ease.
The next morning, Dongfang Xiaotian and Huangfu Chao came to find Nangong Aotian again.
"Have you made arrangements for mobilizing the army?" Nangong Aotian looked at them and said.
"Everything has been arranged, you can rest assured." Dongfang Xiaotian said: "We have ethereal birds to deliver the news, and we also sent people to rush there day and night."
"That's good, now let's study your combat methods in the future."
"We are here today just to see how you plan to deploy our army." Dongfang Xiaotian said with a smile.
"The tactics we use this time are different from those before, so I want to discuss it with you in detail."
"Oh, what kind of strategy is it?" Huangfu Chao and Dongfang Xiaotian both looked at Nangong Aotian curiously.
"This method of warfare can be called guerrilla warfare." Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
"Guerrilla warfare? What do you mean?" Dongfang Xiaotian and Huangfu Chao both looked at Nangong Aotian curiously and asked.
"The second prince's territory is mostly mountainous and hilly. The terrain is very complex, with mountains, villages and rivers everywhere. The army is very rigid in large-scale operations, so I decided to use a brand new strategy to fight." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "I
The plan is to divide the army into countless small units, and then penetrate behind the enemy's large army. Constantly harass the enemy's rear. Only fight small battles. Take advantage and leave, completely dragging down the enemy's rear."
"Is this okay?" Huangfuchao asked with some doubts.
"The enemy's front is very long and there is no material supply. You can try to control them as a group. Don't worry, there will be no problems with this kind of tactics. Just do what I want." Nangong
Aotian said confidently.
"In this case, we no longer have any doubts. Now tell us about this guerrilla war."
"Guerrilla warfare is the use of small groups of combat troops to continuously attack the enemy with flexibility and maneuverability based on favorable terrain, and harass the enemy in small-scale operations. This will prevent the enemy from finding your main combat force and thus prevent them from completely annihilating you.
Of course, at that time, they were committed to besieging Byron, and they couldn't spare the manpower to encircle you. If this goes on for a long time, you will control the scope of their army's activities smaller and smaller, slowly eating away at their army.
