C327 Any Objections

"Then there are no objections. In that case, quickly return to the camp and prepare for battle!" Dou Tianlai waved his hand, and everyone immediately dispersed.

"Speak. " Dou Tianlai looked at Lin Qing indifferently and said, "I have been feeling uneasy since yesterday. What kind of difficulties did I encounter?"

"I. . . " Lin Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the marshal's eyes. "

"Enough, I don't want to hear these useless things. " Dou Tianlai narrowed his eyes and said, "It's been a few years since we last met, and you've learned this trick too. What exactly is it?"

Seeing that he could not hide it, Bao Hong sighed helplessly. "To tell you the truth, I am worried about the war. "

"What is there to worry about?" Dou Tianlai rolled his eyes and snorted disapprovingly. "No matter how fierce the Barbarian Army is, they only have four hundred thousand soldiers. Including the fifty thousand cavalry, there are only four hundred and fifty thousand of them. Our army has four hundred and eighty thousand soldiers. Putting aside the numerical advantage, the extra thirty thousand Imperial Army soldiers all have extraordinary cultivation bases. On the battlefield, they are one against ten existences, even if they have never had the experience of fighting on the battlefield. However, in terms of covering and coordinating during a battle, they were no worse than the Lonely Soul Legion. At the very least, one person should be able to fight five of them, right? "

"This subordinate naturally understands this as well. " Bao Hong smiled bitterly and said, "In terms of numbers, our army far surpasses the Barbarian Army. In terms of combat strength, the thirty thousand Imperial Guards are not much weaker than the Lonely Soul Legion. Furthermore, in terms of offense and defense, our army is the defender. No matter how you look at it, we have the advantage in terms of terrain. Our army has a reason to win this battle, but in my opinion. . . Our odds of winning are at most 60%? "

"Sixty percent?" Dou Tianlai widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief. He flew into a rage and said, "With all kinds of advantages added together, how can our chances of winning be only sixty percent? This was simply absurd! Alarmist words! "

Dou Tianlai had an unyielding character, and he was extremely arrogant. The most unruly thing in his life was that others would look down on him. Think about it, the Chu Army had the geographical advantage in this battle. If he still could not win this battle, then he would not be the marshal. It was best to change people as soon as possible, so Bao Hong's words sounded like a naked insult to him.

"Marshal, please calm down. Since this subordinate has said so, there is naturally a reason. As for the reason, please listen to me carefully. " Bao Hong had followed him for many years before, so how could he not understand his character? Seeing this, he did not panic and said neither servile nor overbearing.

Clearly, Dou Tianlai's remaining anger had yet to dissipate. He coldly snorted and said, "Speak!"

"Compared to the Barbarian Army and my army, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious. If we recklessly clash with our army, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. Qih Luner would never make such a low level mistake. With his intelligence, How could he not see the difference between friend and foe? It could be seen that he had come. Then he must have made thorough preparations. Moreover, this person was good at using Elite Armaments. Soldiers were always elusive, so in the army, they were known as geniuses with ghosts. Now that such a person has led his troops to attack, how can he be careless? "

Bao Hong paused and said, "Qih Luner is good at seeing the bigger picture. Usually, a slight movement has a profound meaning. It may seem small, but it is fatal. That is why every step he takes must be cautious and careful. After careful consideration, he can come to a conclusion and then make the correct response. "

Dou Tianlai somewhat understood what he said. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean this matter is not as simple as we thought?"

"The other party is Qih Luner. How can it be simple?" Bao Hong sighed and asked, "Marshal, do you remember the matter of him sending fifty thousand cavalry to launch a night raid on our army a few days ago?"

"Of course I remember. " Dou Tianlai said, "That was because he wanted to build an open path and secretly cross the Chen Cang. First, use tens of thousands of people to attract our attention and lead the army to attack when our army is unprepared. If they were slightly careless or did not notice it in time, they might really have gotten what they wanted. However, didn't you see through this scheme? "

Bao Hong murmured," Did you see through it? I don't think so. "

"What do you mean?" Dou Tianlai suddenly became interested. After what Bao Hong said, he had a bad feeling about it.

"I thought Qih Luner sent fifty thousand cavalry as bait to cover up the Barbarian Tribe army that came later. He was planning to build a path in the open and secretly cross the Chen Cang. But now, I don't think so anymore. The path in the open might not be the path in the open. The one in the dark might not be Chen Cang. Perhaps from the moment we thought that we had seen through Qih Luner's scheme. . . It's been a mistake. "

How could Dou Tianlai not understand the meaning behind his words? He could not help but suck in a cold breath. "Could it be that you are saying that the four hundred thousand soldiers after this are just a pretense, and the fifty thousand cavalry before this is his real scheme?"

"That's right. " Bao Hong nodded and sighed. "For the past two days, in order to find the hiding place of these fifty thousand people, I have put in a lot of effort. If I had enough time, I would even send someone to Luoan to ask the Imperial Advisor. Unfortunately, it is too late. "

"Isn't it just the fifty thousand cavalry of Barbarian Tribe? Is there a need to be so tight?" After Dou Tianlai recovered from his shock, he was once again deeply puzzled.

"Of course it is necessary. " Bao Hong sighed lightly. His eyes were cold. He said: "If it weren't for these fifty thousand people, our army would have How could we only have a sixty percent chance of winning? It was precisely because of them that we lost forty percent of our chance of winning. "

After a period of silence, Dou Tianlai waved his hand and said: "I think you must be worrying too much. It's just fifty thousand people. No matter what they do, they won't be able to cause any trouble. It's nothing to worry about. "

"Marshal, you're wrong!" Bao Hong wanted to persuade him to lose, but when he thought of his temper, he shook his head and rejected it. He changed to a euphemistic way of saying, "A dam of a thousand miles will collapse in an ant's nest. The more inconspicuous an existence is, the more they can make shocking moves at a critical moment to attack the unexpected and even turn the whole situation around. "

"Will the proud soldiers lose?" Dou Tianlai smiled bitterly and said, "I am not muddle-headed to that extent. Why do you need to say it so tactfully? Do you think I can't hear you just because you are scolding me?"

"I dare not!" Bao Hong immediately lowered his head in fear.

Dou Tianlai waved his hand impatiently. "Kid, don't give me these useless things. Tell me, do you have any good ideas?"

"This. . . " Bao Hong answered truthfully. He said, "They have not shown up for a long time. I do not have any good ideas about this. "

"In that case, we can only take one step. Let's take one step at a time. " Dou Tianlai thought for a while and gave the order. "Qih Luner has been in the One-Line Sky for a long time. He must have a plan. If we wait for the fifty thousand cavalry to appear, we will send more troops. There will be no time. In that case. . . Leave these fifty thousand to me. As for the position of commander, I'll leave it to you. Do you have any objections? "
