C494 Military deployments (Part II)

"What is it? Is there a problem? " Gongsun Ztian asked with a cold expression.

The two armies were at loggerheads. They didn't even know the situation of the enemy general. This was a dereliction of duty on the part of the intelligence department, because this wasn't a fight to the death, but an ambush!

In a battle, one could ignore all the information of the other side and completely rely on their own ability to command. However, an ambush was completely different.

During the ambush, the more detailed the intelligence, the more beneficial it was to reduce the casualties. Gongsun Zaitian could ignore the allocation of troops and their numbers. This would not have much of an impact on his tactical command. However, his judgement and analysis of the enemy commanders was the key to determining whether or not this ambush could be won at the minimum cost.

Although these two troops led by Gongsun Zaitian were all elite troops, with their courage of one to a hundred, they were all elites. In the event of too great a loss, forget about him being sorry for trusting these three troops, even Third Uncle and the dean would not be able to explain it.

"I'm sorry Marshal, but the intelligence department has not been able to obtain any information regarding this commander!" Feng Ruiyi lowered his head and replied apologetically.

"Why? Give me a reasonable reason! " Gongsun Zaitian asked indifferently. If the Listening Rain Pavilion's current intelligence network was insufficient to find out about this person's intelligence, then with the added bonus of the Surveillance Council's intelligence network not finding out about this person's intelligence, this was somewhat puzzling.

"Reporting to the Marshal, after many investigations, we haven't found any information related to Wu Gang. It's as if he had appeared out of thin air!" Qi Ningshan took a step forward, stood by Feng Ruiyi's side, and helped him speak up.

"Appears out of thin air? Is that also a reason? " Gongsun Ze asked with a cold expression.

"This subordinate is incompetent. Marshal, please punish me!" Feng and Qi immediately knelt on one knee as they replied in unison.

"Marshal, I do know something about this Wu Gang! He was a general of the imperial city's imperial guards early in the morning, and was recognized by the Ninth Prince. Thus, he was transferred to the northern army, and his performance during his battles with the Profound Nether Empire was extremely outstanding. Situ Qingyun who was seated at the side interjected and laughed.

After interacting with his nephew for a few days, Situ Qingyun was fairly confident in the abilities of both Feng and Qi, and could not bear to see his nephew punishing the two under extreme anger, so he helped him out.

"Then Third Uncle, do you know the characteristics of this person's use of troops?" Gongsun Ze Tian's face revealed a hint of joy as he quickly asked.

"How should I put it? I don't have much contact with this person, so I know less. I've heard most of it, so it might not be accurate!" Situ Qingyun muttered to himself for a moment before adding.

Back then, Situ Qingyun did not control the Northern Army as he currently did. At that time, the one guarding the north was still the Ninth Prince and Situ Qingyun had only heard of this person called Wu Gang through various battle examples.

As for his true ability, the difference in strength, he couldn't be completely basing his conclusions on this so-called hearsay.

"Uncle, there's no harm in telling me. Sometimes, what I hear might not be completely unreliable!" There might be a reason for it. " Gongsun Zaitian followed up with an indifferent tone.

"Alright, I'll tell you then!" Wu Gang is a cautious man, he always likes to think before acting, but do not think that he is just an indecisive man, who makes decisions quickly and dares to invest in the army. This is another characteristic of him. " Situ Qingyun said slowly. To reach this conclusion, he had to rely on his analysis from the relevant battle examples.

"Why is this person so contradictory!" Lei Sheng interrupted from the side and asked.

Lei Sheng was not the only one who felt this way. Everyone present, even Gongsun Zaitian himself felt the same way.

Usually, the more one thought about it, the more difficult it was to make a decision. This was a common ailment of the human race, and people who were indecisive would become like this. However, this Wu Gang was truly strange. Such contradictory actions was really rare.

"That's right. Although his character looks very contradictory, he is definitely a strong and difficult opponent to deal with! If not for the fact that Ninth Prince had hidden him away, I'm afraid that he would have already become one of the famous generals! " Situ Qingyun nodded and said.

"Very interesting! If the power was too weak, there would be no point! What other supplements did Third Uncle have? Is there anything about his past battles? " After thinking for a while, Gongsun Ze Tian suddenly became interested and asked Situ Qingyun.

"Very little, almost nothing. This is the reason why Little Feng and the others didn't receive any information at all. Ninth Prince has really spent quite a bit to hide him!" Situ Qingyun shook his head and explained in his stead.

"Third Uncle, do you know what his main specialty is?" Gongsun Ztian frowned and continued to ask.

"Good attack!" It's not good to defend! " Situ Qingyun answered with determination.

"Blood Jade Valley is hard to guard, looks like the battlefield I chose for him is also suitable for him!" Gongsun Ztian said indifferently.

"Marshal, I do not understand. To deal with Wu Gang, we can choose a lot of places to ambush him. Why would we choose this place? Blood Jade Valley is not the best place to ambush! " Situ Qingyun interrupted from the side and asked.

"Third Uncle, who said I was going to ambush them?" Gongsun Ztian replied in a teasing manner.

"Aren't we going to ambush them?" Not only was Situ Qingyun confused, even Lei Sheng and the rest were confused.

The enemy was in the dark and in the light. Ambush was the most suitable method. This was the best method that could be used with the least casualties in exchange for the greatest amount of points. There was no need to give up on such a simple and excellent method.

"Of course not! To be more accurate, it was a surprise to them! Or perhaps, it would be more accurate to call it adding insult to injury! " Gongsun Ze Tian gave an evil smile.

"Marshal has a backup?" Lei Sheng seemed to have noticed something and suddenly asked.

"We won't discuss this today! Next, I will go through the details of the strategy and tactics. In front of us is the Blood Jade Valley's terrain and sand table! "According to my request, the intelligence department has marked the locations as A, B, C ?" Gongsun Ztian did not reply, deliberately avoiding the topic.

How could he reveal this to these people right now? If Gongsun Zaitian were to reveal it to them, the dean would probably rush over immediately and beat him up. Afterwards, he would drag everyone away and ensure that no one was left behind.

"These are ??" Some of the generals were confused, so they asked.

The generals of this time and space could not come up with a method to mark or mark a region on a map or to divide a battle zone. They also had no idea how the division of battle zones and the setting of battle zones would affect the entire battlefield.

"The following tactical arrangements and arrangements will be more beneficial to your understanding!" Gongsun Ztian vaguely explained.

Gongsun Ztian explained the entire arrangement of the tactics and the arrangements for each unit in detail. He also arranged a division of labor for the generals and allowed them to ask questions at the same time.

Of course, there was no lack of strange missions. Even if the generals who received the missions asked questions, Gongsun Zaitian would still laugh out loud and muddle through them. He only asked them to follow the instructions.

The whole council of war, Gongsun Zaitian began with a joke, ended with teasing, and the generals began in a stupidity, spent their days in the mist, walked out of their tents in confusion, and followed the Marshal's orders.

The depth of the night always used its mysterious aura to capture people's hearts. It was as if there would always be a magnificent scene in the vast starry sky that would captivate people's eyes.

Under the starry night sky, there was a group of people looking around. Their gazes constantly scanned the night sky. They were not looking at the beautiful night sky, but were searching for something.

"Commander, look, pigeons!"

"That's right!" Swing the flag! Summon the pigeons! "

"Yes!" "Commander!"

Following the waving of the flag, the three carrier pigeons circled down one after another! Seeing that the pigeon had successfully returned, the Commander was also overjoyed. This also meant that the orders of the Prince had arrived. The next step was to leave this' thousand mountains, birds, and ten thousand men 'danger zone.

"Take down the bamboo tubes on the feet of the carrier pigeons!" "You have to be fast!"

"Commander, these are the three bamboo tubes!"

"I'll go see the general first, you guys return to your homes!"

"Yes sir!"

? ?.

Not long after, the leader rushed into General Wu Gang's tent in a flurry of movements.

"General, the king's order has arrived!"

"Hand it over quickly!"

"Yes!" "General!"

Wu Gang impatiently took out the letter from the bamboo tube, and started to carefully study the contents of the letter.

The words in the letter were not much, but it made Wu Gang read and reread it several times before deciding to let it go. He let out a heavy sigh, then waved his hand to signal the personal guard commander to take his leave.

At this moment, Wu Gang's heart was in a mess. While he was lamenting the coolness of the world, he was also unavoidably feeling the sadness of 'a cunning rabbit dying, a dog being roasted'. Maybe one day, when he had suffered a crushing defeat, or if there was no value in using him, then what was the difference between him and Shi Haowen?

But now, the prince wanted to use his own hands to kill him, and at that time, who knew who else would use his own hands to kill him?!

"General!"

"What is it?"

"The person who was searching for the Horse Commander has returned!"

"You're back? Why did he come back? Didn't I ask them to send a message to me? Let all of you come in, I have something to ask you! "

"Yes, General!"

Not long after, a few people walked into the tent with a tired face. Although they were worn out from the journey, their waists were very straight.

"What's going on? "Quick, come!" Wu Gang asked anxiously.

"General, we travelled through the night." The leader said.

"Get to the point!" Is this your first reward? " Wu Gang shouted.

"I'm sorry, General! When we reached the Yunshan Mountain's entrance, we saw ? " The man continued with a troubled expression.

"See what?" Wu Gang frowned and asked.

"I saw the Horse Commander and the corpses of the soldiers he took away, not a single one was missing! All killed! " The big man replied with a pale face.

"What!?" "Tell me more about it." Wu Gang slammed the table and roared.

"Horse Commander and his soldiers have all died at the mouth of the Yunshan Mountain, not a single one of them have escaped!" The burly man and his soldiers behind him immediately knelt down on one knee and recounted the words with a sorrowful expression.
