Chapter 279: The soldiers are divided into three ways
As soon as Huang Yongning finished speaking, a hint of shock appeared on Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan's faces, but Ye Guan nodded slightly.
"Why didn't I expect it before?" Yu Sheng said with a little annoyed tone, "I used to think that they had been arrested and threatened that they would execute their family members if they didn't go to the battlefield. But now I think that if they were asked to die, it might be even more serious than this."
"The original free people are deprived of their freedom, demoted them to slaves throughout their lives, and trampled by the world, which may include their descendants and elders." Liu Yuan frowned and clenched his teeth, saying, "For ordinary people, they don't know who the enemy the enclave is facing, and it is absolutely impossible to know the gap between the enclave and the Eastern Prince's Mansion. This is clearly a hopeless battle."
"If it is as I guessed, the entire Qiuchangcheng area may have experienced similar events at this moment." Huang Yongning frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, then we will no longer be soldiers, but a group of innocent people who have fought for their lives for the freedom of their relatives and the dignity of their descendants. Even Shen Tuyan can order that if we kill the soldiers of our Eastern Prince's Mansion on the battlefield, not only will the family return to freedom, but also receive rewards. Compared with each other, in the case of death, these people may have extraordinary abilities."
"And now, Shen Tuyan has retreated to the inside of Qiu Chang City, and the situation is completely different from the previous situation when he went out to fight the enemy." Ye Guan whispered: "Shen Tuyan at this moment, he will be in a stolen manner, because he knows that if he fails, he will only have one consequence."
"If this is the case, he will inevitably be even more hysterical, dig out the potential of all the people in Qiuchang City and fight to the point of anger. Moreover, he did this, which is what the person behind him wants to see the most." After Huang Yongning said this, he thought about the situation that might have happened in Qiuchang City now, and he couldn't help but frown and his mood became extremely bad.
If it is true as they analyzed, Shen Tuyan not only threatened the lives of the people's soldiers, but also threatened them with their dignity and freedom, the battle that the Eastern Palace will face later may be extremely tragic.
Not only from the perspective of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, but from another angle, Ye Guan and Huang Yongning did not want to see a large number of casualties.
Not to mention that the people in Qiu Changcheng after the occupation were the people of the Dongwang Mansion, and the people were the foundation of the country. They could not do this even if they did not want their soldiers to suffer heavy damage or let the people behind the scenes get more dead energy.
"If this is the case, we cannot attack head-on." Huang Yongning looked at Ye Guan and said, "We will take down all the cities around us. Although the Qiuchang City area is surrounded by mountains and the roads are rugged, Shen Tuyan will definitely have a way to learn about the news outside. He must be ready to fight to the death now. If we attack rashly, we may face Shen Tuyan's desperate resistance. Not only will we not be able to fight quickly, but we may be trapped in a protracted war. This will not be of any benefit to our plan."
Ye Guan frowned when she heard this.
The Qiuchang City area occupied by Shentuyan is crucial to the entire enclave. This place is surrounded by mountains. Although it is not like Wufeng City, there is only one road in and out, and it is surrounded by cliffs, but it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
There are seven cities in the Qiuchang City area, with a total size of different people, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are many vast fields during the period. Qiuchang City can become the third largest area in the enclave and can stand firm in the long-term conquest, which shows that it can still stand.
What the Dongwang Mansion now has to face is the Qiuchang City, which is in distorted unity. If hundreds of thousands of people are all put into the battlefield, this will be an extremely difficult problem for any army.
"I understand what you said." Ye Guan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied: "The plan for a frontal attack may have to be put on hold first, but the plan of the two city lords leading troops into Qiuchang City cannot be changed. We do not understand the reality and reality of Qiuchang City. Just imagination can't fight."
"We can only arrange a follow-up plan after entering the Qiuchang City area and discovering some situations. If it is true as imagined, the entire five cities of Qiuchang City were firmly grasped by Shen Tuyan, and all the people and plants were soldiers with a sense of death, then attacking Qiuchang City is undoubtedly a stupid way. The best way is to keep them nervous and eventually collapse."
"But all this is still a imagination. The specific action will be taken, and the news will be available before the decision will be made." Ye Guan immediately looked at Huang Yongning and said, "Yongning, I finally decided to ask you to come. However, I suggest that one person be there to guard Wufeng City, and all the other three people go to the vicinity of Qiuchang City to prepare for the next action."
Hearing Ye Guan's words, the three of them fell into a brief silence.
Things are far worse than they had imagined before. If Qiu Changcheng was really as imagined, then it would be a luxury to quickly take over the Qiu Changcheng area as in any case.
You can't fight head-on. If you fight, it will inevitably be a tragic battle, and both sides will pay a heavy price. This may not be anything to Shen Tuyan. After all, the people behind him are suspected of cultivating death energy. The more people die, the easier it will be for him to practice. But for the Eastern Palace, it is unbearable.
The soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion who entered the enclave this time had only more than 60,000. Including Sha Shaoyuan's troops who are still defending on the Black Stone Bridge, the Eastern Prince's Mansion has invested nearly 100,000 troops in the enclave, which has exceeded 40% of the total number of troops in the Eastern Prince's Mansion. If they encounter a tragic battle in Qiuchang City and suffer heavy losses, the Eastern Prince's Mansion may not have the remaining strength to fight the battle afterwards, let alone killing God Capital.
If you cannot face the enemy head-on, you can only detour. However, detour means that the front line is lengthened and it is absolutely impossible to achieve absolute victory within three days.
Huang Yongning frowned. At this moment, he found that although he had 60,000 soldiers under his command, there were too few generals who could stand alone. Only the three city lords in front of him could take on the great responsibilities behind him, which made him feel a little embarrassed to cook without rice.
"Wufeng City must be dominated by senior generals. This is the core of the enclave. It may also involve many secrets, so it is absolutely impossible to emptie it." Huang Yongning frowned slightly and said, "It seems that the battle in Qiu Changcheng cannot be solved in a short period of time now. It seems that there is only one way."
Immediately, Huang Yongning stood up, fisted at the three city lords in front of him, and whispered: "Senior Ye, please be careful about the matter of Qiu Changcheng, and be fully responsible. Brother Yu and Senior Liu need to lead the army to continue the battle and take down more enclave areas to avoid long nights and dreams."
As Huang Yongning stood up, the three of them immediately stood up and clasped their fists at Huang Yongning.
"Ye Guan listened to the order." After Huang Yongning saluted to the three of them, he looked at Ye Guan.
"I'm here." Ye Guan clasped his fists with his hands, his face calm. Although he was highly respected in the Eastern Palace and had unparalleled wisdom and strategy, the commander-in-chief of this battle was Huang Yongning. He analyzed a lot, and the final decision was Huang Yongning.
"I will lead 20,000 troops to win Qiuchang City in the shortest time, with the least loss." Huang Yongning's order did not directly specify time for Ye Guan, because he knew that Qiuchang City might be the hardest bone in the enclave. There were too many incidents involved, and only Ye Guan had the ability to deal with it. If he could not win Qiuchang City in the shortest time, then no one in the Dongwang Mansion would have the ability.
"Subordinate to obey the order." Ye Guan nodded gently when she heard this, clasped her fists with her hands, and saluted Huang Yongning slightly.
"Yu Sheng, Liu Yuan obeys the order!" Then Huang Yongning looked at Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan. The two of them were shocked and said in unison: "I am here."
"I ordered you two to lead the 15th brigade to be divided into two groups and enter the second half of the enclave. You must take down the remaining enclave city within ten days, and there must be no mistakes."
"The Lord of the Subordinate!" Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan were not surprised to receive Huang Yongning's military order. The discussion just now said that taking down Qiu Chang City is the top priority, but the second half of the enclave is equally important. There are hundreds of cities in the second half. If the East Prince's Mansion spent too much time on Qiu Chang City, it is inevitable that there will be no heresy in the city behind. After all, the unification of the enclaves has been in name only.
"In this way, it's not advisable. Please let the three city lords do their own things. I will stay in Wufeng City to ensure that the entire Wufeng City is unobstructed." After saying that, Huang Yongning clasped his fists to the three of them again and saluted respectfully.
Ye Guan, Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan returned the gift to Huang Yongning at the same time. Without any other words, the three of them immediately turned around and left the hall of the meeting.
The Dongwang Mansion has always been a decisive and decisive style. Once he decides what he wants to do, he will not delay any trouble.
Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan immediately rode out and took the talisman of the army to the two cities garrisoned outside Wufeng City, and set off at the first time.
When Ye Guan left, he took away a person. This person was Xu Bao, the centurion in Dongxuan City, who had been under the formation under the military commander of Dongxuan City.
Xu Bao did not hesitate at all about Ye Guan’s request. When Ye Guan was looking for him, he firmly decided to be loyal to the East Prince’s Mansion. No matter what Ye Guan asked him to do this time, he would not hesitate at all.
Ye Guan took Xu Bao out of Wufeng City, and he would lead 20,000 soldiers to march towards the Qiuchang City area behind Wufeng City. Ye Guan knew in his heart that what he would face might not be just a battle on the battlefield.
The three city lords left the city one after another, but Huang Yongning sat in the seats in the conference hall, contemplating quietly.
Outside, the sun was scorching like fire, and the strong sunlight hit the bluestone outside the conference hall, as if it was about to ignite the bluestone.
Huang Yongning quietly felt the condensed natural power brought by the formations in the Wufeng City Hall next to him, but his mind was a little heavy.
Both he and Ye Guan knew that the key to the enclave was not the battle on the battlefield. The real crisis might come from this formation. The real battle might not be on the battlefield.
After sighing softly, Huang Yongning stood up, walked to the desk behind, picked up his pen and wrote a letter, handed it to the commissar, asking him to quickly pass the letter to the Eastern Palace.
"I hope my brother can be prepared. The enclave may not be so easy to close." Huang Yongning watched the messenger go down and narrowed his eyes.
...
Enclave, Qiu Changcheng.
At night, everything became quiet. Qiuchang City has been particularly desolate in recent days.
Shen Tuyan sat in his mansion, with his deputy standing on both sides of his left and right. The room was quiet, and he could only hear the sound of Shen Tuyan sliding the teacup in his hand.
"..." Shen Tuyan breathed a sigh of relief, trying to say something, but he didn't speak. He just put the teacup in his hand back on the table and closed his eyes gently.
There are five cities in the Qiuchang City area, and now there are all plants and trees. In the mountains and forests around Qiuchang City, several cities are also built in the cracks of the mountains, but there is a large area in them that can be used as fields, which is enough for the people of the five cities to be self-sufficient.
The mountains surrounding Qiuchang City are called Zongqiushan. Although the mountains are unbelievable with other high mountains in the enclave, they occupy a very wide area.
If you don’t get involved in the general trend of the entire enclave, the Qiuchangcheng area can be completely settled in a corner and live a paradise.
