C37 In a battle of attrition, only one could survive (3)

Longmen City, pre-battle military conference.

"That stinking brat finished all his work?" Situ Qingyun flipped through the information regarding the enemy s attack on the city recently, and casually asked his aide-de-camp.

"Yes, Great General. The intelligence reports said that General Gongsun has completely annihilated his enemies, and his victory is glorious!"

"How are their casualties?"

"Over 900 people were killed, 200 people were severely injured and 300 people were lightly injured. A total of over 1,400 people were injured. Someone has been arranged to bring back the heavy injuries. Since then, the casualties have been very low. It is a classic battle."

In this battle, not only was Great General Situ proud of his nephew, even the few army generals who were not optimistic about Gongsun Zaitian's victory were also very satisfied with this battle. The concrete details of this battle caused all the generals to be stupefied. Which of the generals had not fought with this fellow before? Since they did not get any benefits from him, they had suffered greatly, not to mention that this Helian Rong was also a big trouble, not only did he bring trouble to his own empire, he had also brought their Honglong Empire endless trouble.

When it came to fighting on the battlefield, none of the army leaders present frowned, but when it came to fighting against the arrogant Helian Rong, they shook their heads violently like a rattle drum.

"For a big problem like Helian Rong, whoever wants it will have it. I don't want it anyway!" This was what all the generals thought in their hearts!

"General Gongsun's performance in this battle is quite good. I am very satisfied. The main purpose of calling the generals here is to discuss our next battle plan." Before doing that, I would like to show you a plan. This plan was submitted to me by General Sun. Everyone, please circulate it among yourselves and share your opinions and opinions. "

After Situ Qingyun finished speaking, he gave the plan to the aide-de-camp, and had him pass it on to the various generals for communication.

"This... "This..."

"How is this possible?"

"Will that work?"

"Isn't that a bit too risky?"

The generals looked at each other and whispered to each other, but it could be seen that the generals were somewhat conservative in their stance towards this plan, or even not optimistic about it.

"Everyone, I know that you are not optimistic about this plan, but I feel that it is impossible, but the information that I have received is very consistent with what General Gongsun predicted. The arrival of Helian Rong's army, as well as the few feints by the enemy's army in the past few days all prove that their general direction is the Longmen City, and there are also intelligence reports from the enemy's side stating that the enemy has recently secretly mobilized their troops, which also shows the enemy's strategic intentions."

"According to the plan that General Gongsun had sent over, he predicted that the enemy's total attack time would very likely be tomorrow at dusk. He also determined that the enemy's combat plan would be led by the enemy's north side to launch a feint attack, then the troops led by Helian Rong in the south of the city to launch a surprise attack on the south gate. The enemy's main attack would immediately change from a feint to a main attack, which would cause the Longmen City's defense to be in an awkward situation.

Situ Qingyun paused, glancing at the generals who were working, and continued: "The plan is only a part of it that you all have seen, it is a part that even I do not know, but I do know a bit more than you all that when the time is right, immediately open the city gates, and send all of the city's cavalry to launch a surprise attack, exactly what is considered a ripe time, I also do not know, the entire plan has probably been in that brat's heart all along. Also, in order to make this surprise attack, he secretly used the name of the General Staff and I to transfer 50,000 elite soldiers to the Longmen City. "

"I know that all of you might have an opinion or even have a negative attitude towards this plan. But please think about it, generals. However, the one facing Helian Rong was Gongsun Ze Tian, the final result is obvious, the enemy has been annihilated, do you think this is a fluke victory? Or do any of you have any confidence that you will be able to wipe out the enemy at a level lower than the enemy's? Of course I don't care about your casualties. If any of you can do it, I respect your opinion, but if you cannot, then trust me, and trust him, I think he can. Do any of you have any objections to this plan? "

"General, I know we shouldn't question you. However, this plan is indeed a bit unimaginable. Moreover, it is such a complete and incomplete plan. We really can't imagine how the battle situation will change if we follow through with this plan."

As the general spoke, he stopped and looked at Great General Situ, and continued, "According to General Gongsun's judgement, the enemy forces should be between two hundred and fifty thousand. Furthermore, the other party is. We have already dealt with this old fellow for a long time, is he really that easy to deal with? "

"I know what all of you are worried about. To be honest, I don't know what that brat is planning to do or would do, but I think that it shouldn't be difficult for him to confuse or harass him. Not to mention, attracting attention or fanning a fire is his forte." Furthermore, if the fifty thousand heavy cavalry that he has arranged were to suddenly launch an attack, I believe that it would be enough to inflict sufficient damage to the enemy. "

Situ Qingyun's eyes flashed with excitement, his words were full of words: "You guys have to know that Helian Rong's big problem has been solved, and the enemy doesn't know about this point, hmph, with conditions, you bastards!"

"Haha ?" The generals laughed. They all knew the temper of their boss. He was very excited to have such a good opportunity to deal with an old rival whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

"Great General, since you have so much confidence in General Gongsun, I don't mind accompanying you along." Don't you think so? "Haha!" One of the generals said.

"That's right..." The crowd burst into cheers.

Someone, inform them to secretly gather all cavalry troops from the nearby cities. We will set out tonight, we must reach the Longmen City before tomorrow morning. "At the same time, order people to cut down more trees for the opening ceremony tomorrow."

"Haha, is the great general trying to put on an act?"

"I had no choice but to be led astray by that stinking brat!" The Great General Situ feigned helplessness as he spoke.

"..."

In the short span of two days and one night, all the parties were intensely preparing. The great battle was about to start, and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.

"Old, have you brought the things I asked you to bring?"

"Young General, it's really tiring and tiring to work for you. Just look at what you've prepared and how many iron chains you've made, you want me to put them on top of the fire and even have a large amount of pepper and chili powder prepared. Are you planning on roasting the iron to eat? "Right, there's also those firecrackers. Are you afraid that they won't know our current location?"

"Old, don't be impatient. Right, have the scouts returned yet? Have you found the enemy's stable?"

"I found it. There are quite a lot of horses inside. There should be at least 100,000 to 150,000 of them. They should be from the enemy's logistics stable. They should be used as a preparation for the cavalry casualties." Eh? Young Master, how do you know that the enemy will have this stable and that it will be near the battlefield? "

"What a pig's brain! To the enemy, this is a war of aggression, an attack, a plundering! You were forced to fight us? Furthermore, I was only guessing, but I thought that there would at most be several tens of thousands of prepared horses. I never thought that there would be so many.

"What headache?"

"It's a pity to kill, but eating is boring!"

"..."

Deputy General Cheng was extremely regretful. He could not use common sense to talk with crazy people, it was not because he was stupid, it was because crazy people's thoughts were too crazy.

In the Profound Nether Empire's camp.

"Your Royal Highness, the time set by General Helian and I is almost up. Should the army depart?"

"Is there any news?"

"There was no news, but I think the enemy had sealed it off. Today, a scout came to report that there was an enemy movement in the Anbei Town. I think General Helian was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he didn't send anyone to report it. Seeing our troops launch an attack, with General Helian's intelligence, he should know that this is our signal to launch an attack on him. " A man dressed as a Profound Nether Empire general answered.

"You must be careful when using soldiers!" Order, the entire army will immediately depart. The reinforcements will continue to hide and await orders. An hour after the start of the battle, if there is still no movement from General Helian's side, the entire army will immediately retreat.

"It's the prince. This subordinate will arrange it right away!"

Inside the Longmen City.

"It's almost the time that General Gongsun has predicted, but the enemy forces are still not moving. Could they have seen through it, or could there have been no attacks?"

"Yeah, what's going on? Is my guess wrong? "

"I'm really in a hurry to wait!"

As the generals waited anxiously in the city gate tower, some of them had already impatiently started whispering to each other.

"Everyone, don't be impatient." The Great General Situ was rather calm as he suppressed the anxiety in everyone's hearts.

"Reporting..." A scout quickly ran in.

"Reporting to the Great General Situ, generals, the enemy forces have moved. The entire army has been escorted up.

"Done!" "Haha."

"I knew it, haha!"

When the generals heard the news, they jumped three feet into the air, scaring the scouts. Normally when they heard the enemy attack, they would frown and look serious. Why were they so happy to hear the enemy attack?

"Alright, how old are you all now? You're still acting like kids. You're all generals of the Empire. You have to keep your emotions in check."

"Yes, Great General."

"Haha, well done, haha." Great General Situ laughed out loud, and everyone was speechless.

Gongsun Zaitian's temporary camp.

"Young General, the enemy has begun to move."

"It's time for the operation, originally, night raiding was taboo for the troops, but in order to cover Helian Rong's movements, they chose to attack during this period of time."

"It's as Young General expected."

"Are our people ready?"

"Let's go in the direction of the young generals. The soldiers are equipped with the armor of the enemy troops. Their appearances can definitely be faked. Moreover, this pair of armor is completely comparable to the Heavy Cavalry soldiers." Haha, my Old can be considered to have commanded a heavy cavalry unit. "

"Wrong, wrong. It's not your command, it's mine. You have nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"

"Why does Young Master have to occasionally change people, why does it have to be me who's injured!"

"This is called getting familiar with killing, you don't understand. "Also, don't talk to me like that, the one who is injured is always me. Why don't you say that it's all because of the moon?"

"Young General, you are truly eloquent. This subordinate pays his respect."

"Stop talking, inform the troops, immediately seize the enemy's logistics stable, quietly enter, silent battle, finish the battle quickly."

"Yes."
