Chapter 907 - 907: 26 years of Jean d ‘arc (Part 1)
After a long six-hour March, they finally arrived at the camp of the Chuzhou Army before dusk.
After the 10000-strong Army arrived, they set up camp in a familiar manner. Jiang Luzhong led a group of generals, Xu niannian, and Chu Yuanyou into the military tent of Yang Yan, the commander of the Chuzhou capital.
Yang Yan and the senior generals of Chu Zhou city had been waiting for a long time.
Everyone took their seats. Yang Yan looked at Jiang Luzhong and the others, paused for a moment on Xu niannian and Chu Yuanyou, and said in a cold tone,
“The War in the North is not looking good. We lack cannons, ballistae, and military supplies, so we have been mainly distracting and harassing them. They won’t be able to cause any serious damage to the Jing Army.”
Jiang Luzhong nodded slightly. Chuzhou city’s military supplies were limited, and most of the cannons and ballistae had to be left within the borders to defend the city. It was impossible to mobilize all of them. Otherwise, if the cavalry of the Jing Kingdom came to attack Chuzhou, the territory of the great Feng Army would be completely scattered.
Jiang Luzhong glanced at the Deputy general beside him. The latter understood his meaning and reported the amount of rations and military supplies they had brought along, as well as the proportion of cavalry, infantry, and artillery.
Yang Yan nodded in satisfaction and looked at the Deputy general beside him.
The Deputy general stood up and said in a deep voice, ” let me explain the current situation in the North. The main battlefield is in the depths of the North. The Allied army of the demons and barbarians and the Jing Kingdom cavalry are fighting like fire.
Over the past few days, we have analyzed the reasons and categorized them into three points:First, the Barbarian monsters ‘military training was not as good as Jing country’s. The Barbarian monsters had The Blood of Gods and devils. Once they got hot-headed, they would lose their minds. In a small battle, this was an advantage. However, in a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, this was a fatal flaw.
“Second, the witch God religion. The battlefield is the home field of the Magi, and you are all experienced generals, so I don’t need to go into detail. Most importantly, there was a rank 3 Magus in the Jing Kingdom’s Army. It was because of his existence that Zhu Jiu, who had not recovered from his injuries, was restricted.
“Three, Xiahou Yushu is a top grade commander talent. His battle commanding skills have already reached the point of perfection. Against such a person, unless you crush him with absolute power, it is very difficult to use so-called clever tactics to defeat him.”
After a pause, he continued, ” the Army that is fighting with us at the border of Chuzhou is the left Corps of the Jing Kingdom. The leader of the Army is called
Tuoba Ji. He is a fourth-grade martial artist. He had 3000 fiery armor troops, 5000 light cavalry, and 10000 infantry and artillery. Tuoba Ji is planning to kill us at the Chu Zhou border.”
He was prepared to be crushed to death at the border of Chuzhou. That meant that the distance between the two sides was not far … Xu Erlang judged in his heart.
As expected, Jiang Luzhong muttered, “”so, if we want to go north to help the demon barbarians, we must first defeat Tuoba Ji.”
Yang Yan nodded slowly, “only by defeating Tuoba Ji’s Army can we have no more worries.” The problem is, in terms of cavalry, we are far from the match of the Jing Kingdom’s cavalry. In terms of cannons, they had many of them. We have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, but we don’t have any other advantage.”
One of the generals laughed. that’s why you’ve come at the right time. We have sufficient military forces and armaments now. Speed is the most important thing in war. We can start a war right away and catch Tuoba Ji off guard.
The generals from Chu Zhou city also smiled. They had been waiting for reinforcements for a long time.
yes. Jiang Luzhong nodded slowly. do you know where they are? ”
yes, ” Yang Yan replied. I only know the exact location. There are Scouts keeping an eye on it and they will come back once every two hours to report. So far, there has been no abnormality.
Jiang Luzhong looked at the crowd and said, ” this battle must be ended quickly. Otherwise, with the abilities of the Wizards, the corpse soldiers will only increase if the battle drags on. We might not be able to burn the bodies in time on the battlefield.”
Magi had the ability to control corpses, so the best way was to burn the corpses on the spot to effectively control the number of undead soldiers.
Everyone started a discussion on this topic.
“The astrologer of the Imperial astronomer will give us the position, and then we will first launch a few rounds of bombardment. After that, the archers and Firebirds will advance …”
“But if the enemy retreats, no one other than the cavalry will be able to catch up. If the cavalrymen give chase, we’ll be like sheep entering the Tiger’s mouth.”
“Why don’t we take advantage of the numbers and form an encirclement?”
no, we can’t. If we surround them, we’ll be dividing our forces and losing our advantage. The enemy can break out in any direction and even counterattack.
we also have to be wary of the divination skills of the Wizards. It would be great if a high-grade Warlock could cover for us.
“Fortune-tellers can only predict their own good fortune and misfortune. If their lives are not in danger in this battle, they can’t predict it. Heh, if the other Dartv has a rank three sDiritual wisdom master. then Dretend I didn’t sav
anything. ”
In the fierce battle, Xu Erlang glanced at Chu Yuanyou. This former top scholar had closed her eyes and was resting, showing no intention of joining the discussion.
Xu Erlang could only remain silent. Fifteen minutes later, the generals were still in discussion, but they had already passed the stage of disagreement. They were now working out the details and strategies.
Xu Erlang looked at Chu Yuanqian again. He still didn’t say anything, but Xu
Erlang couldn’t help but cough. He raised his arm and said loudly, ”
“Everyone, why don’t you listen to what I have to say?”
The discussion stopped and the generals all frowned, their sharp gazes fixed on the only scholar in the tent.
Originally, Xu niannian had no right to sit here, whether it was his identity as Dingzhou’s official or his experience. However, Jiang Luzhong and Xu Qi ‘an had been to the education workshop Division together and had investigated cases together in Yunzhou. Naturally, they paid special attention to the younger brother of their whoremasters and comrades..
