Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1896: Hidden Plots to Calculate People's Hearts, Meng Zhang Conquers Wangcheng

Su Li certainly knew that his plan was very dangerous. If he was not careful, he might not be able to defeat the enemy, but instead trap themselves!
However, since he dared to take this risk, he must have some confidence.

The so-called strategies naturally vary from person to person.

The same strategy, for some people, may only get them into trouble, but if it is used on the right group of people, it will completely defraud the other party.

The most typical example is Han Xin's Battle of the River. If the opponent's main general was Li Zuoche, Han Xin would probably have failed.

However, the opponent's main general was not Li Zuoche.

Of course, if the opponent's main general was Li Zuoche, perhaps Han Xin would not have used a decisive battle, but other strategies.

Therefore, the key to a strategy is not how sophisticated it is, but to find the right remedy for the problem and to target the person's personality weaknesses.

In this world, there is no such thing as an absolutely sophisticated strategy. Only by adapting to different people and circumstances can a strategy be truly impeccable.

"Ding, Su Li's stealth skill is activated.
Hidden plot, hidden in the dark, if it doesn't come out, it's fine, but once it comes out, it will kill. This skill can only take effect when the opponent is unaware of the existence of the person who initiated this skill.

The only effect is that when you are planning in the dark, you can ignore the enemy's own immune negative skill effects, greatly reduce the target's intelligence value, and reduce the enemy's intelligence value by the same amount as your own intelligence value. "

Su Li's skill only has one skill effect, but it is a very powerful skill effect.

Although there are not many people whose skills ultimately make them immune to negative suppression effects, once there are people with this skill effect, it can be said that 99% of them are top figures in the world.

However, Su Li's skill is also effective for this group of people.

Even while suppressing the opponent, you can also improve yourself.

Theoretically speaking, if he could suppress the opponent's intelligence by more than ten points, he could also increase his own intelligence by more than ten points in return.

Of course, this is only a theoretical situation.

If someone could be suppressed by him by more than ten points in one breath, it only means that the person's intelligence value is ridiculously low. For such a person, if Su Li wants to plot against him, it doesn't matter whether this skill works or not.

The effect of Su Li's skill, just like the nickname "Hidden Conspiracy" that he got in the original historical trajectory, is a special skill for plotting against others in the dark.

Only by hiding in the dark and making sure the other party is unaware of Su Li's existence can real effect be achieved.

However, often when the other party is unaware of your existence, this is the time when you are most able to catch them off guard when plotting against them.

"Ding, Su Li's stealth skill is activated. It suppresses Bu Fei's intelligence by 6 points, and Bu Fei's intelligence drops to 79."

"Ding, Su Li is affected by the Stealth skill, his intelligence +6, basic intelligence 99, current intelligence rises to 105."

In Su Li's opinion, Bu Fei is indeed a cautious person.

This person will not act rashly unless he is absolutely sure of success. He would rather miss out than take risks.

However, this is also an extremely greedy person. If there is enough temptation, he will ignore the risks and find reasons to convince himself.

Therefore, Su Li was not actually worried about whether he could lure Bu Fei out, but was worried about Hulugu's confidence in using 30,000 troops to fight against the 80,000 troops.

"You're laying bait!"

"However, this bait, if you are not careful, you may be swallowed up along with the bait!"

After hearing Su Li's analysis of Bu Fei's character, Hulugu and Meng Gong truly believed that if they took the risk, they could lure this man out.

However, Meng Gong couldn't help but worry that their 30,000 troops were caught in a pincer attack from the front and back by the enemy's 80,000 troops. Whether they could defeat the 80,000 troops as originally planned.

At least, knowing Hulugu's trump card, he had doubts about this.

"In that case, let's change it!"

"The key is to easily capture Hutou Mountain!" Hulugu thought for a while and said.

Although according to Su Li's plan, Bu Fei's troops were also lured out, but this slight change in the battle situation made Hulugu very clear that even if he exposed his trump card, it would be impossible for him to defeat the 80,000-strong army in one go as he originally thought.

Well, ten birds in the bush are not as good as one bird in the hand. In this case, we should settle for the second best and no longer insist on defeating these 80,000 soldiers. Instead, we should make easily taking Hutou Mountain as the first strategic goal.

Hutou Mountain is the first obstacle on their way south, and they must remove this thorn in their side.

If this nail is not removed, even if the main force arrives later, they will not be able to move easily as the rear is under the enemy's surveillance.

"If I were to fly on foot, our army would advance to Wangcheng!"

"We must first use the light cavalry to entangle and slow down our army's march! Don't give our army a chance to enter the city!"

"Use the troops from Hutou Mountain and Tongcheng to surround them. With three times the force, they can be defeated in an instant!"

"In this case, General, you must first advance with light cavalry and take Wangcheng first. Only by occupying Wangcheng can our army have a chance to hold on!" Meng Gong lightly pointed to the locations of three places on the map and spoke again.

Although Wangcheng is a small city, it is a typical place that is easy to attack but difficult to defend.

However, under the attack from both sides with three times the number of troops, having such a city is better than having nothing.

Their subsequent main force of the central army would take at least five or six days to arrive. Once they used the 30,000 troops as bait, they could lure Bu Fei out and successfully capture Hutou Mountain.

At this time, he would definitely be met with Bu Fei's desperate counterattack.

And only by taking Wangcheng, they could have held out for the next five or six days. Otherwise, on the plain, they would not be able to withstand the front-and-back attack of the enemy with three times the force.

If Bu Fei had any common sense of military tactics, he would not let them enter Wangcheng, but would have placed the battlefield on the plain.

"This matter is simple. I will lead the main force of the brigade to attract Bu Fei's attention, and then send one general to defeat him easily!"

Hulugu did not take Wangcheng, a small city, too seriously.

There are not many soldiers stationed in this small town, so it is easy to take it.

If Bu Fei could be lured out, Meng Gong's previous worries would naturally disappear completely! Bu Fei, who had already come out, naturally could not hold Hutou Mountain anymore, so he was naturally not afraid of using Wangcheng as the main battlefield.

Once the news of the fall of Hutou Mountain comes, the troops who are besieging Wangcheng will definitely be in unrest.

However, Bu Fei still had Tongcheng as his rear base at that time, so although people might be uneasy, there would not be any major chaos.

But once the main force of the central army arrives in their rear, they will surely be able to take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and the offensive and defensive situation of both sides will change.

He who listens to both sides will be wise. At the beginning of night, Hulugu summoned all the officers and soldiers in the tent and held a military meeting. He presented his and Meng Gong's ideas for discussion and received the approval of most people.

After reaching a consensus, Hulugu decisively gave an order to entrust the important task of attacking Wangcheng with light cavalry to Meng Gong.

Although Wangcheng is just a small city with few guards, it should be easy to capture it.

But this matter is of utmost importance.

If they fail to capture Wangcheng, even if they can capture Hutoushan as originally planned, their 30,000-strong army will certainly be surrounded by the enemy. By that time, it will be more trouble than gain.

Therefore, Hulug gave this important task to Meng Gong, who was not very famous but was a calm and resolute person.

Meng Gong, as always, accepted the offer without hesitation. He had been in the army for many years and finally got such an opportunity, so he naturally would not let it go easily.

"General Zhang Kui, you can go with us in this battle and lend a helping hand to Pu Yu!" Hulugu looked at another figure in the big tent and could not help but speak.

Just in case, even though it was just a small town, he was still prepared to take Zhang Kui with him to not give him any chance of any accidents.

This time, Hulugu's vanguard army went ahead and was disconnected from the central army. When Hulugu made this plan, he must have reported it to Wang Yu first.

Wang Yu also showed his support for Huluguang, so his 30,000 vanguards had two masters at the level of God Generals. Zhang Kui, who had shouldered the important task of defending the pass with him in the past few years, was one of them.

Soon, the troops inside and outside Hulugu's camp all started to move, just like the first day of the expedition, following the routine. Meng Gong and Zhang Kui led a battalion of soldiers, took advantage of the night, concealed their bodies, and quickly moved south.

Meng Gong set out, and Hulugu led the army behind him. However, they were not as silent as Meng Gong, but were mighty and powerful. The 30,000-strong army, like a long dragon, gathered in the south.

The night is hazy, covering the earth and blurring people's vision. However, the stars and the moon in the night sky appear particularly bright, guiding the way forward.

On the narrow and not-so-wide road, sporadic flames meandered southward, flowing like a stream of water.

All the soldiers in the battalion led by Meng Gong had solemn faces and were marching in an orderly manner. Before setting off, Meng Gong convened the entire army to give a speech, explaining the importance of this trip and motivating the soldiers with the words "Your Majesty's great grace, today I will repay you", so at this time, the soldiers were basically in a generous mood to go through fire and water.

Wangcheng is more than 40 miles away from Hutou Mountain. Meng Gong's battalion of soldiers were all light cavalry, so they walked for most of the night and arrived near Wangcheng in the early morning of the next day.

Although there are not many defenders in Wangcheng, there are only two or three hundred people. This is also a standard small city that cannot be any smaller.

If he wasn't stuck between Hutou Mountain and Tongcheng, Wang Yu's troops would not even look at him even if they attacked, and they would just send a general to take over.

However, even if there were only two or three hundred defenders, Meng Gong's battalion of soldiers and horses only had a thousand men. Moreover, they did not have any siege equipment with them, so it was impossible to storm.

Therefore, he personally led Zhang Kui and several relatively short soldiers to knock out the vegetable farmers who were about to enter the city to sell vegetables at the morning market in the early morning, and then disguised themselves as these vegetable vendors and entered the city in several batches.

When it was almost noon, more than 20 people entered the city and, under the leadership of Meng Gong and Zhang Kui, rushed towards the city gate.

It was just a small city, and the number of soldiers in the city was not only small, but they had not fought for many years. How could they stop Zhang Kui, who was as brave as a tiger? The city gate was captured in a short moment. After the soldiers outside the city came to kill them, the two hundred defenders in the city simply lost the will to resist and knelt down one by one to surrender.

Even the official of Wangcheng, Wangcheng Ling, simply knelt down and surrendered without any resistance.

Such a small town has been peaceful for too long. Even during the Battle of Tianjing, they were not disturbed by the war. After confirming the rule over Henan Road, Prince Jing only sent someone to take over in name only. What should they do?
However, who could have expected that a disaster would befall us today.

On the other hand, just as Su Li had expected, Bu Fei was indeed cautious enough, but also greedy enough. He was greedy for the credit of Hulug's 30,000 troops. He was greedy for the credit of Hulug.

Hulugu was no unknown person. He had already made a name for himself when he followed Wang Yu into Dongyi. When several forces joined forces to attack the court of Huangfu Mingzhao, he made even more outstanding military achievements.

It’s just that in that battle, Han Xin’s brilliance was too bright, overshadowing the others.

But in fact, apart from Han Xin, the generals who participated in that battle with Wang Yu, especially Hulugu and Feng Yi, performed the best. Otherwise, Wang Yu would not have trusted him to stay in such an important place as Weiguan for several years.

Such an important general, his head, plus the 30,000 vanguard troops, is a huge contribution.

Previously, when Hulugguang had just arrived, Bu Fei might have hesitated, but he transferred all the troops from Tongcheng here. However, he was not sure that he could completely capture Hulugguang within a few days.

After all, it is very likely that the main force of the central army will arrive in a few days.

Therefore, he wanted to play it safe and guard Hutou Mountain, waiting for the arrival of Prince Jing's follow-up reinforcements.

However, now that Hulugu had entered between his two armies and was so bold as to want to cut off the connection between Hutou Mountain and Tongcheng, Bu Fei would not be willing to miss out on this achievement out of both emotion and reason.

If he could defeat Hulugu and these 30,000 vanguard troops, he might be able to surpass Jiang Shuihan in the future.
