C34 There is a strong enemy in the North (Part II)

Gongsun Ztian led a huge army of fifty thousand and sped towards the north. He knew that his guess was correct. He was confident that he could completely annihilate this group of enemies.

"How does the young general plan to fight this battle?" Deputy General Cheng followed closely behind Gongsun Zaitian.

"At the moment the enemy does not know that we have discovered them and have guessed their strategic intentions. Since the enemy was in the light and we were in the dark, this was our advantage. We had to make good use of it. Furthermore, the hills and hills behind Anbei Town, although providing cover for the enemy's sneak attack plan, still provide a good geographical advantage for the enemy's burial. "

"The Anbei Town's thirty thousand garrison troops are classified as city defense infantry. They have no mobility and their fighting strength is also average. In the mountainous regions surrounding the Anbei Town, there is basically no area that can be used for cavalry to charge through, and to the east, we have to travel fifty kilometers, we will enter the plains, and at that time, it would be possible for this troop of cavalry to display their fighting strength, and they can attack anywhere they want, depending on the commander's mood, and even mess up our rear, we won't be able to do anything to him, and this cavalry's primary mission is to cooperate with the main forces and attack Longmen City from both sides. "So our first task is to stop these enemy troops and prevent them from leaving the mountains."

"This subordinate understands. But why didn't the enemy use such a tactic in the past?"

"It's very simple. I observed the surrounding terrain as well as the battle data of the past years. I also specially investigated the disposition of this battle. Let me figure out why the enemy didn't use this move before, for three reasons: First, the enemy doesn't know the way, doesn't know how to go, and now that they know it, it's just a little, our higher-ups have spies; secondly, the enemy has been attacking all the way, several feints, and there will always be a town or city that can send out around fifty thousand or so mobile cavalry; thirdly, the enemy must have gotten something, and would rather take the risk of losing these cavalry to attack, and this must be used in exchange for something that will move their hearts. "

"I had originally guessed that the Profound Nether Empire's invasion this time was a bit of a conspiracy that I couldn't explain. They seemed to be cooperating with everything they had, but without any specific information, I don't know what would happen next!"

The first stage is to lure the enemy, mainly to capture them without knowing that we have already seen through their intentions. Furthermore, I estimate that this cavalry will receive a death order, and in order to gain time, they won't easily expose themselves, so we will use this to lure them, and send a small force to first disguise themselves as scouts, tempting the enemy to ambush us, and then quickly finish off the enemy so that we can gradually nibble away from them!

"Young General is indeed wise. "As the general commands."

"Haha, good, everyone increase your speed, we have to get to the battle area first."

Four hours passed in the blink of an eye. On the way, Gongsun Zaitian only allowed the soldiers and horses to rest twice.

"Young General, the scouts have found out, and just as you guessed, the enemy troops are about 70,000 people and they are all light armored cavalry. However, all of them will immediately bring heavy parcels, and I don't know what this is yet! " Deputy General Cheng received the report and quickly approached Gongsun Zaitian to report to him.

"Where are the enemy troops now?"

"According to the report from the scouts, the enemy is currently resting. From the looks of it, they are waiting for the night to come and penetrate the back of the Anbei Town."

"The commander of this unit, he has some brains!" Gongsun Zaitian took advantage of the time taken by the refurbishment to eat. The battle that would begin later on would not necessarily allow him to have the time to eat again.

"You can't all be idiots, all of you come out and seek a beating!" The Deputy General Cheng was also lively. He realized that as long as he fought with this Young General, he wouldn't be nervous at all.

"Brother Cheng, gather with the general for a pre-battle meeting. I have a few things to arrange!"

"Alright, I'll call those bastards over right now."

In less than the time it took to make a cup of tea, several regimental commanders and above were all sitting cross-legged around Gongsun Zaitian.

"From now on, there will be a few more fierce battles. I'm afraid there won't be any more time for the pre-battle meetings. I think everyone here has understood this mission. If you can't stop this group of enemies, you can imagine the consequences. I won't waste my breath, I just want you all to obey my orders. Is there a problem? "

"As the general commands!"

"Very good. Before nightfall, all departments must arrive at the designated location and be on standby." Gongsun Ze Tian had a serious expression on his face.

"Command, the First and Second Cavalry Regiments to immediately set up an ambush in the southwest region of Anbei Town. At the same time, send a cavalry regiment to the direction of Anbei Town to act as scouts to lure the enemy, and after annihilating the enemy's forces, rush to a location twenty miles south of Anbei Town to assist the Third and Fourth Cavalry Regiments in their attack on the enemy."

"Command, an hour after the first and second cavalry regiment set off, the third and fourth cavalry regiment set out to ambush them. At the same time, send an army of half a cavalry regiment to cover their retreat and lure the enemy. If they encounter an enemy regiment that cannot be defeated, let them through immediately and attack the first and second cavalry regiment from the back and front, completely annihilating the enemy." After you are done, gather with the fifth, sixth, and seventh cavalry, your seven cavalry groups will have a total of twenty thousand men under the command of the Regiment Commander Zhang He. Along the way, give your all to me, I don't want you to cause any more casualties to the enemy. All you need to do is to harass them from afar and they'll chase you and run. They'll stop your long-ranged attacks and you'll chase them if they run. Do you understand? "

"Yes sir!"

"General Cheng, follow me to the entrance of the Qing Yun Sect to prepare our defenses. Inform a team of people to immediately head to the surrounding towns to collect water dragon spears to extinguish the fire, large amounts of oil and flammable items. We can do that, but you have to be quick."

"Inform the other team and set out immediately for the mouth of the Qing Yun Sect. The entrance is filled with huge rocks and huge trees. If you tie up the entrance, we will shut the door and kill you!"

"Also, General Cheng, send out scouts to closely monitor the enemy's movements and report back at any time!"

"I request that, in this battle, all the ambushing troops must first trap the enemy, and then use the crossbow against the enemy to reduce our casualties as the first priority. The specific circumstances should be handled by the commanders on the spot, and should be adjusted as appropriate. The more traps, the better! "

"Yes!" The generals ordered their men to leave.

"Why do you only try to lure the enemy twice, and not many times?"

"If the opposing commander is smart, he would have noticed us luring him twice. I believe that as long as that commander isn't muddled, he would have guessed that their plan was already known to us, and at that time, he would have two choices: either to immediately withdraw his troops, or to put everything on the line, and regardless of the casualties, immediately go to the location of the planned attack and cooperate with the main force in attacking the city. What do you think he will choose? "

The Deputy General Cheng paused for a while, then said: "He can choose to turn around and attack the Anbei Town or kill us all."

"He won't, turn around and attack the Anbei Town, that would completely lose all of its meaning. Using such a large amount of effort, he can only attack a single important town? Then why did he choose to avoid the guards of the Anbei Town to come around? We have already arranged a small cavalry unit to lure the enemy, and they are not clear about our manpower and manpower, so why would they suddenly fight with us here? If not, it would be better for him to immediately choose to retreat, otherwise, if we were to leave tens of thousands of troops here, we will not even be able to accomplish anything. "

"That young general means that he will choose to gamble everything on this, to sneak in an attack on Longmen City?"

"That's right, I guess the commander of this unit must have paid whatever it took to reach the back of Longmen City to assist the main force in their attack. One could judge just by looking at the arrangement and manpower distribution of the other cities. Furthermore, I predicted that they would need to cooperate with the entire army to confuse us, the attacks from the other cities would be a feint, their main attack would be at Longmen City, so Xuan Ming is going to play big this time. "

"This commander will definitely complete this plan regardless of the casualties. He will not allow anything to obstruct or delay him."

"Brother Cheng, prepare for a fierce battle. This enemy will be especially vicious! "

"Don't worry, young general. We'll make sure they won't return."

In the north of the empire, the night sky was just like a large black curtain as it slowly descended. At this moment, the mountain was pitch black. If it wasn't for the numerous stars in the sky and the faint moonlight, it would be difficult to distinguish what was within the first two meters.

"Have the troops entered their assigned positions yet?" Gongsun Ze Tian gazed into the distance, his mind was still planning out the overall plan.

"I've already reached the reserved seats. I'm just waiting for the guests to arrive!" Deputy General Cheng replied as he stood beside Gongsun Ze Tian.

"When are the guests coming?" Gongsun Ze Tian now felt that this Cheng Qinglong had the potential to be a secretary.

"It should be soon. The scouts are keeping an eye on us. They will notify us immediately if there's any news!"

"The great war is about to begin, we must guarantee the smooth flow of information and intelligence!" We must report this information once every hour. "

"Alright!"

"Do you know the name of the general who led the troops this time?"

"The plan is so detailed, the situation is so accurately predicted, I thought you would know about it!"

"It's not like this operation was planned and planned by the general. I only came to a conclusion based on my analysis of the overall strategy."

"Your uncle and nephew are in agreement. After you passed on your enemy's intention to the Great General Situ, he immediately ordered for them to investigate thoroughly. The result of their investigation has just reached me."

"Stop nagging, hurry up and say it!" Gongsun Ztian was extremely dissatisfied. Why was this fellow spouting so much nonsense?

"The enemy commander this time is our old rival, the Prince of Profound Nether Empire, Xianyu Hetu, and the one leading the assault is called Helian Rong. I heard that he is the prince's favorite student, he likes to fight and his killing intent is extremely strong. This person's personality was coarse, mixed with fine details. He had a domineering appearance, but a meticulous heart. He was a very difficult opponent to deal with. Furthermore, the intelligence also said that this brat was a thorn in the head, and was known as the number one trouble boss in the Profound Nether Empire. "Haha."

"It seems like the enemy not only gave us a tough nut to crack, but also created a huge problem for us!"

"Your uncle and nephew! One of them said 'meat buns will never return,' and the other said 'bones that are hard to gnaw on.' Could it be that we really are an army of dogs?!" "Haha!"

"No, we are not dogs, we are wolves, we are a pack of wolves! I want them to know how wolves feed! "

Gongsun Ze's Heavenly Eye shined like a wolf. He was confident that he could crush this extremely difficult bone with his teeth.

"Notify him to open the door and receive the guest!"
