Chapter 736
Shanhai City, General Administration of Military Affairs.
The headquarters was set up in the Yamen of the General Administration of Military Affairs. Du Ruhui, Zhao Kuo, and Xia Houdun, who had just taken office, were all on the list. In addition, the Military Intelligence Department, the Combat Department, and the War Preparedness Department had all recruited capable personnel to participate.
When Ouyang Shuo walked into the headquarters, he saw a busy scene.
On the northernmost wall of the command hall hangs a huge map nine meters long and five meters wide. It is a map of the southern border area, covering Yunnan Province, Southern Sichuan Province, and Northern Sichuan Province from west to east. , Shonan Province, Lingnan Province, Jiangchuan Province, and Southern Fujian Province, a total of seven provinces.
Among them, Yunnan Province, South Sichuan Province and Lingnan Province are the most detailed, located in the center of the map.
In the center of the hall is a huge sand table that is also nine meters long and five meters wide. The sand table is rehearsing the most critical Lingnan battle at this time.
In particular, Baishi City in Jiaozhou County was highlighted by the red flag.
Almost every once in a while, a piece of intelligence is sent to the headquarters. According to the intelligence, the staff of the combat department updated the sand table information in time for Du Ruhui, Zhao Kuo and other big bosses to make decisions.
"Your Majesty!" Du Ruhui rushed over.
Ouyang Shuo's arrival made the headquarters quiet down instantly.
"Keming, how's the situation?"
Du Ruhui pointed to Baishi City in the sand table, and reported: "Your Majesty, as expected, the enemy still chose the teleportation sniper tactic, and the first sniper location was Baishi City."
Ouyang Shuo glanced at the terrain of Baishi City, and said with a smile, "The location is well chosen."
"That's right. They're ready to go all out this time, and they've assembled an army of 250,000. Just got the news that the Fan Lihua Army has arrived outside Baishi City and is setting up camp."
The Fan Lihua Legion knew that Baishi City was a trap, but they still pretended to arrive outside the city as if nothing had happened, and made the final preparations before attacking the city as usual, with the intention of not wanting to scare the snake away.
Not to mention the Fan Lihua Legion, even the Shi Wansui Legion and the Evil Lai Legion, there is no sign of moving closer to the Fanli Flower Legion.
Only the First Army of the Huben Army, led by Sun Bin, advanced bravely and advanced all the way to Baishi City.
All these are to confuse the enemy.
To be honest, it is very risky to do so, and the Fanlihua Army is required to withstand the attack of 250,000 Allied troops before the other armies arrive for reinforcements.
With one against three, I really have to sweat for Fan Lihua.
Such tossing is only because the chess pieces that Shanhaiwei has placed in the allied forces have not yet succeeded.
The two intelligence agencies, Black Snake Guard and Shanhaiwei, have a clear division of labor. Black Snake Guard's secret operations are mainly based on players, while Shanhaiwei's secret operations are mainly based on NPCs. Therefore, Shanhaiwei is easier to break into the enemy's interior.
As early as three months ago, Shanhaiwei buried more than ten chess pieces in the Allied forces. The three armies are waiting, and one of the key pieces plays a decisive role.
"Is there any news on the 32nd?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
On the 32nd, Shanhaiwei's top secret agent, he was the brigade commander of the Allied Forces. Ouyang Shuo even personally participated in the operation. No. 32 holds a formation breaking talisman in his hand, which is the key to this battle.
Before Zhaoqing, Ruan Ping used a formation-breaking talisman to take down Tianshuang County. Ouyang Shuo wanted to "return him in his own way" by using the formation-breaking talisman to destroy the teleportation formation in Baishi City, thus bringing the The Allied forces were completely locked in Baishi City.
In this way, the Battle of Lingnan will become a war of encirclement and annihilation.
If this battle is won, the Lingnan province can be settled.
The situation in China is changing, there are too many variables, Ouyang Shuo would like to play some kind of hide-and-seek game with the allied forces. Once the target is locked, it must be put to death.
Among them, the Achilles' heel is naturally the teleportation array.
It's just that it's not easy to destroy the teleportation array when the enemy is on guard.
Now I can only count on No. 32 to make extraordinary achievements.
"The news came on the 32nd. Under the joint operation of other ministries, it happened to be his turn to guard the teleportation formation tonight. The opportunity to break the formation is tonight." Du Ru reported with a dark smile.
"Okay, then we'll wait." Ouyang Shuo was ready to squat directly at the headquarters, but he couldn't even fall asleep without getting the exact news.
Nuo Da's headquarters is busy again.
*************
Lingnan Province, Jiaozhou County, Baishi City.
The enemy army arrived as scheduled, which made Ruan Pingping very excited. Now we are waiting for the Fanlihua army to attack the city. By then, the twenty-five allied troops ambushing in the city will give the enemy a huge surprise.
Everything is going well, the only exception is that the Fan Lihua Legion took too long to prepare this time.
The Fanli Flower Army arrived at the southern plain outside the city at noon, and passed through the whole afternoon, but there was no movement at all. According to detailed reports, the enemy has been building camps.
When the sunset was rising, the prototype of a huge camp had already been erected on the plain outside the city.
"Isn't this too cautious?" Some lords were puzzled.
According to the combat style of the Shanhai City army before, let alone noon, even in the afternoon, after arriving outside the city, after a short rest, they will directly attack the city, very vigorously.
"The location of Baishi City is different, so it's normal to be cautious."
"That's right. No matter what, Fan Lihua is an imperial military general. She is proficient in using troops. I'm afraid she will instinctively believe that Baishi City is fraudulent, and she will definitely not attack the city rashly."
The lords subconsciously gave "various" reasonable explanations.
All afternoon, they hesitated several times, wondering if they would go out of the city to launch a surprise attack when the Fanlihua Army's foothold was not stable, and defeat them in one fell swoop.
In the end they gave up on this tempting idea.
One is to go out of the city to make a surprise attack. If the allied forces take the initiative to expose the target, it may not be possible to complete the attack.
It would undoubtedly be a failure for the Allied forces if the Fanlihua Army was only defeated instead of wiped out. Because of this kind of ambush opportunity, Shanhai City would not leave it to them again and again.
The second enemy army is the army of Shanhai City.
The strength of Shanhai City's army is well known and universally recognized. Even if they were camping, Ruan Pingping and the others would not think that the enemy army was not on guard at all.
Thinking about it this way, the chances of winning are even slimmer.
Therefore, the safest way is to wait for the enemy to attack the city and carry out encirclement and annihilation.
Among the city-states, there are radical lords and conservative lords. When everyone gathers to discuss and make decisions, they often end up choosing a safer method.
This is the advantage of collective decision-making, but also its disadvantages.
As a result of restricting each other, there will never be a radical and risky plan.
In this way, waiting for the allies to bury an excellent chance for a comeback in vain. If the Allies choose to attack in the afternoon, the Fanlihua Army will have no choice but to resist.
In the absence of fortifications such as camps and trenches, it is really unknown whether it can be held.
…………
Night fell, and everything was still.
The camp of the Fanlihua Legion outside the city was still fighting at night with the lights on, and the tall camp blocked the sight of the allied troops. Inside the camp, various fortifications are still being built in full swing.
Along the wooden wall of the camp, a large number of soldiers went into battle in person, digging trenches. Between the trenches, there are countless arrow towers and horses.
What's even more weird is that in the center of the camp, the army was building another camp overnight, similar to the inner city of a city. If the allied forces had seen this scene, they would have immediately seen the intentions of the Fan Lihua Army.
Where is the camp prepared for the siege? It is clearly prepared to defend to the death.
…………
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Baishi City.
The army stationed in the teleportation formation ushered in a routine handover, checked the tokens, and passed by.
The succeeding officer on duty was a young general named Song Gui, who came from Huadong County, Jiaozhou County. Three months ago, he joined Huadong County with the refugees from the wilderness and was promoted to brigade commander by virtue of his military exploits.
Net worth.
Ruan Ping and the others, including the lord of Huadong County, did not know that Song Gui was a master craftsman carefully cultivated by Shanhaiwei. He joined Huadong County naturally by mixing with the refugees.
More than half of Shanhaiwei's secret operations broke into the target's interior through this method.
Three full hours passed, and everything in the city was as usual.
The night was getting darker and darker, only the faint moonlight in the sky illuminated the earth around the teleportation array. In the night, the faces of the sergeants appeared blurred.
After standing on guard for three full hours, with their bodies motionless and highly concentrated, the sergeants' attention began to slacken, and their bodies began to protest.
At this moment, on the street that was included in the restricted zone, there was a sudden sound of a small cart hitting the bluestone slab. "Gululu!" The voice was extremely piercing in the silent night.
"Who, idlers are not allowed to enter the military forbidden area!"
Not surprisingly, the trolley was quickly stopped by peripheral sergeants.
"Master Jun, the younger one is for supper." The pusher was an old man with a hunched back and a flattering smile on his face, humble and sad.
The old man opened one of the wooden barrels, and suddenly a scent of fragrance hit his face.
"Master, look, the roasted chicken is delicious!"
"Gudong!"
The sergeant swallowed unconsciously.
"Who asked you to deliver the supper, don't you know that this is a restricted area?" The sergeant's attitude was somewhat relaxed.
"it's me!"
At this moment, a word came from behind.
The sergeant was taken aback, turned around and saluted: "Brigade Commander!"
It was Song Gui who came, and he exchanged a glance with the old man, turned to look at the sergeant who was still on guard, and said with a smile: "You guys have worked hard, I will pay for it myself tonight, and treat everyone to dinner Night, pad your stomach, don't be polite."
"Okay!"
Since the brigade commander spoke, the sergeant, who had been hungry all night, was naturally happy.
"Come here, freshly baked roast chicken!"
The old man pushed a small trolley and walked in the army formation, as if by magic, he took out freshly roasted chickens from the trolley, and the aroma was tangy.
"You're welcome, Mr. Jun, there is still wine here, how about some to warm your stomach?"
"terrific!"
The sergeant laughed in satisfaction and gave a thumbs up.
Good wine paired with roast chicken is delicious in the world. Is there any better enjoyment than this? ! Under the temptation of delicious food, the strict military appearance immediately disintegrated, and the scene became chaotic.
