Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 865 One City One Mountain

Late at night, the meeting hall of the Black Deer City camp.

Everyone discussed the strategy to meet the enemy together.

At first, when he learned that the city wall was about to collapse, Hong Zhenji almost collapsed. After a few days of stability, he did not expect that Black Deer City would fall again.

Not only Hong Zhenji, but Cui Luoxian and a thousand generals were used to defending the city, and now that there is no city to defend, everyone's heart is very heavy.

However, the situation was such that Black Deer City couldn't withstand the second crossbow arrow. Three days later, the city wall would definitely collapse. The key point of discussion among the generals was, after abandoning Black Deer City, where would the next city be garrisoned.

Everyone discussed around the map for more than an hour, but in the end they didn't discuss where to go.

In fact, there is no need to discuss, everyone knows the result, and it is not suitable to go to any city.

Black Deer City is the gateway of Qiancheng Kingdom. Once the gateway is knocked down, the roads behind it will lead in all directions.

There are many routes to reach God's Lincheng, no matter which city they are stationed in, they can't stop Tunu from attacking.

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and immediately turned their faces to look at Hong Zhenji.

According to their thinking, they should return directly to Shenlin City now, and hand over half of Qiancheng Kingdom to Tunu.

Hong Zhenji had expected what the generals would say. He looked at Xu Zhiqiong, waiting for Xu Zhiqiong's attitude.

Xu Zhiqiong remained silent, and everyone's eyes focused on Hong Zhenji again.

They were waiting for Hong Zhenji's decision.

Hong Zhenji's hands were shaking.

He has only been a god for a few months.

Now he is about to lose half of Qiancheng Kingdom.

Yu Shan shook his head and said: "If this half of the country is handed over to Tu Nu, if you want to get it back, it will be hard to reach the sky."

Cui Luoxian said: "Black Deer City has no city to defend, what good strategy does General Yu have?"

Yu Shan pointed to the road of Black Deer City on the map: "There is a mountain in the east of the city, named Xiangzhi Mountain. There can be [-] troops stationed on the mountain to support each other with Black Deer City. Even if the city wall is damaged, it can continue to hold on."

Taking advantage of the mountain, condescending, and back and forth, this is a common strategy for defense.

Hearing these words, Hong Zhenji seemed to see some hope.

Cui Luoxian shook his head and said: "Xiangzhi Mountain, you can't garrison troops, if you can garrison troops, I would have already arranged for troops to garrison."

Yu Shan frowned and said, "Why can't you garrison troops?"

"There is no water source on the mountain."

Yu Shan was silent, he was indeed not familiar with these local generals in Qiancheng Kingdom.

The garrison of [-] troops, people eating and feeding horses, and the consumption of drinking water are astonishing. After a day or two of garrison, they can barely support them, and they must not be stationed here for a long time.

The idea of ​​garrisoning troops on the mountain was rejected, and Hong Zhenji looked at Xu Zhiqiong again.

This is his last hope.

How he wished Xu Zhiqiong could say that Black Deer City could still be defended.

As a result, Xu Zhiqiong said: "Black Deer City, there is no need to guard it."

All the generals nodded one after another, Hong Zhenji lost all hope.

The third son, Hong Huaheng, was not reconciled either, his lips moved slightly, as if he was about to speak.

Xu Zhiqiong gestured for him to keep quiet.

Hong Zhenji closed his eyes, and was about to order the troops to withdraw, when Xu Zhiqiong held the sound transmission card and secretly transmitted a voice to him.

Hearing the voice in his mind, Hong Zhenji was startled at first, then calmed down, raised his head, and said to a general: "Hua Heng, Cui Luoxian, Cong Ming, you stay, Yunhou, General Yu, please Stay here, General Jinqing (Yu Xianguo Weiwei, third-rank Suzaku cultivator), please wait for a moment, and the rest, please retreat."

The so-called rest are all local generals of Qiancheng.

The generals looked at each other, not knowing what Hong Zhenji's intention was, Hong Zhenji raised his brows upside down: "Get out, get out, hurry up!"

The generals did not dare to stay for long, and quickly left the chamber.

Xu Zhiqiong sealed the meeting hall with a circle, and Hong Zhenji ordered Qin Yan to strictly guard the servants. No one should come near the meeting hall, this is to prevent others from eavesdropping.

One of the generals asked: "What is it, so confidential, are you afraid that we will know?"

Another lieutenant general sighed: "You still don't understand, the gods are discussing the route of withdrawal."

The general suddenly realized: "It really needs to be kept secret. This will leak out, and we will not be able to return to Shenlin City if we are overtaken by the Tunu people."

In the meeting hall, Cui Luoxian had already drawn the route, pointed to the map and said: "Shenjun, withdraw troops along this route, the fastest march, I will lead the soldiers to block the way a little, before our army withdraws to Shenlin City, the enemy will definitely not attack you." catch up..."

Hong Zhenji looked at Cui Luoxian with a cold expression, Cui Luoxian swallowed half of what he said.

Why is God looking at me like this?
Am I mistaken?

Cui Luoxian looked at Xu Zhiqiong in a blink of an eye, and whispered: "Didn't Yunhou just say that he wants to retreat?"

Xu Zhiqiong said expressionlessly, "When did I say I was going to retreat?"

Cui Luoxian puzzled and said: "Yunhou Shicai said that there is no need to guard Black Deer City..."

"If you don't defend the city, you won't be able to fight?"

Cui Luoxian asked: "What should I do according to Marquis Yun's wishes?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Go out of the city to meet the enemy."

"Again to contain the harassment and buy time to build the city?" Cui Luoxian seemed to have guessed Xu Zhiqiong's intention.

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "Don't harass, fight the enemy!"

Cui Luoxian frowned tightly: "Marquis Yun, don't be impulsive, the strength of the enemy and us is very different, you should return to Shenlin City immediately while the main force of our army is not damaged.

If the main force is hit hard again, then they will be unable to fight again, and the land of a country will fall to the enemy! "

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Tu Nu's army is only [-], more than [-] were lost in the siege of the city in a few days, and now it is less than [-], and there are [-] troops in a thousand times. What is the disparity in combat power?"

Cui Luoxian said: "It's not about the number of soldiers. In the first battle, our army was [-] and the enemy's was [-]. We lost consecutive battles. Has Yunhou forgotten?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "In the first battle, [-]% of the soldiers had never experienced war, and their combat power was naturally unbearable. Now that they have been tempered in several battles, their combat power is far from what it used to be."

Cui Luoxian sighed and said, "Your Honor, if you have a city and you can't defend it, how can you fight without a city?"

"If you can't defend Black Deer City, it's not because you can't beat Tunu, it's because the city walls can't withstand the bed crossbow made by Xingjun." Xu Zhiqiong pointed at the map and said, "Three days later, the enemy will bring bed crossbows to attack the city. The army goes out of the city directly and fights with it!"

Cui Luoxian was silent for a long time and said: "Instead of going out of the city to fight, it's better to wait for the city to break down and fight the enemy in the streets, maybe there is still some hope."

Cui Luoxian was terrified after fighting Tunu for many years. If he fought on flat ground, he didn't think that an army of [-] troops could resist [-] Tunu.

Xu Zhiqiong disagreed with street fighting: "When the city wall is breached, the morale of the Qiancheng army will drop, and street fighting will not take advantage of the strength of its troops."

Cui Luoxian sighed silently, how can there be any advantage in military strength?
"Yun Hou, fighting on flat ground, our army is definitely not Tunu's opponent. A cavalry charge can disperse our army."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Our army also has cavalry, and they just arrived today, so it will be about [-]!"

Yu Shan smacked his lips and said, "This cavalryman..."

Cui Luoxian said anxiously: "General Yu, why don't you dare to tell the truth? Can those cavalry be used?"

Yu Shan went to check, and out of [-] cavalry, there are almost [-] who can actually fight.

There are almost two thousand people who can barely fight with spears.

The remaining half can ride a horse and run along.

This seems to be two concepts with Tu Nu's cavalry.

Yu Shan looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "These cavalry are really reluctant to confront the Tunu cavalry directly."

Hong Huaheng's lips trembled, and he couldn't help but want to interject.

Xu Zhiqiong raised his head and said, "Third Son, it's okay to talk if you have something to say."

Hong Huaheng looked at Hong Zhenji.

Hong Zhenji frowned and said, "Just say what you want!"

Hong Huaheng pointed to the two mountains and said: "Since we have cavalry, we can simply put the cavalry on the Xiangzhi Mountain. When the enemy fights with us, the cavalry will rush down from the mountain, follow the mountain, and directly hit the enemy's flank."

Hong Zhenji sighed: "Shicai didn't say that there is no water on Mount Xiangzhi."

Hong Huaheng said: "Shenjun, we don't need to stay for a long time, just send the cavalry up before the battle."

Yu Shan didn't make a sound.

Cui Luoxian smiled.

Hong Huaheng didn't know what he said wrong, so he asked carefully: "What's wrong?"

Cui Luoxian confirmed again: "My lord, do you mean to send the cavalry to Mount Xiangzhi before the battle?"

Hong Huaheng nodded and said: "I went to the mountain to see it. The mountain is relatively flat. It is not difficult for cavalry to go up. The vegetation in the mountain is not too much. There is a suitable route for charging."

Cui Luoxian said: "My lord, forgive me for speaking bluntly, have you ever fought a war?"

Hong Huaheng shook his head and said, "I haven't fought a battle before, but I've read the book of war. That's how it was fought in the first battle. At that time..."

"Let's not talk about that time, let's talk about now!" Cui Luoxian said, "We sent the cavalry to the mountain, and then Tunu knew that there were cavalry on the mountain, and then they didn't take precautions on the flanks, so we left them to fight? Is there such a cheap thing? "

Hong Huaheng shook his head and said, "Of course that's not the case. We must not let Tu Nu know when we send the cavalry to the mountain."

Cui Luoxian sighed: "My lord, do you know how loud it is when [-] cavalry move? Do you know how many enemy scouts and spies there are outside the city?

[-] cavalry sent to the mountain, do you still want to let people know?Even if I use stealth and silence skills, I can't do it! "

Yu Shan looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Miss Tao, can you help me?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head.

1 people were quietly sent to the two mountains.

Unless the entire Onmyoji Division is moved here, Tao Huayuan and the Onmyoji here alone will definitely not be able to do it.

Hong Huaheng pursed his lips and said, "I don't know how to fight, so just treat it as nonsense."

Xu Zhiqiong raised his head suddenly: "I'll find someone to do this."

Cui Luoxian said in astonishment: "Marquis Yun, don't be joking!"

"When did I joke with you? I tried to send [-] cavalry to Mount Xiangori, so that the enemy wouldn't notice."

Cui Luoxian stared at the map for a while, a ray of light flashed in his eyes.

"If Yunhou really has this ability, this battle can be fought."

This is a very effective tactic. For example, when Chu He and Xu Zhiqiong were fighting, Yu Chilan rushed out from the side, kicked Chu He down, and then the two fought.

Yu Shan thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "If our army fights the enemy at the foot of the mountain, and the cavalry swoop down on the mountain, it will be difficult to distinguish the enemy from the chaotic army. I'm afraid our army will also suffer."

Yu Shan's worry was also justified, Yuchi Lan rushed too hard, directly knocking Xu Zhiqiong and Chu He down.

This kind of situation will cause melee, which is definitely not an advantage for the inexperienced Qiancheng army.

Cui Luoxian dotted on the map and said: "Don't fight at the bottom of the mountain, fight with the enemy a hundred steps away from the mountain."

Let Xu Zhiqiong stand at the bottom of the city, and Chu He stand at the foot of the mountain. When Yu Chilan rushed down, he would only knock down Chu He, not Xu Zhiqiong, and then the two of them went up to fight.

Yu Shan calculated on the map for a moment and said: "One hundred steps from the mountain, and only 80 steps from the city, the army cannot be deployed at all."

Cui Luoxian thought for a while and said: "In addition to the [-] cavalry, our army also has [-] infantry. I led an army of [-] to meet the enemy below the city, and the rest of the soldiers hid in the city.
When Tunu's army rushed up and the two armies were fighting fiercely, General Yu led his cavalry to attack from the mountain and charged directly at the enemy's main line. military. "

For example, when Xu Zhiqiong and Chu He were fighting, and Yang Wu was hiding behind him, Yu Chilan rushed up and knocked Chu He down, and Yang Wu also rushed out to surround and beat Chu He together.

Good plan!
Yu Shan nodded slightly, then became a little worried: "Tu Nu knows that our army's strength is definitely more than [-]. If we see that our army's strength is too small, I'm afraid the enemy will be on guard."

Cui Luoxian said: "Spread the news, only saying that most of our army has fled, our army is used to fleeing, the enemy will definitely believe it."

While speaking, Hong Zhenji's expression was ugly.

What does it mean that our army is used to running away, this guy Cui Luoxian can't speak too much.

Yu Shan still has some concerns: "There are also many famous generals in the Tunu army. After fighting in the battlefield for a long time, I'm afraid they will still be on guard."

Cui Luoxian nodded and said: "If you want to completely disarm the enemy, unless..."

In the middle of speaking, Cui Luoxian hesitated to speak.

Yu Shan also understood Cui Luoxian's meaning: "This is to..."

He is also not easy to say.

In the end, it was Xu Zhiqiong who said it bluntly: "As long as the Divine Lord personally leads the army to fight under the city, the enemy army will definitely put down their guard."

Hong Zhenji raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by that, are you asking me to be a bait?"
