Chapter 22: Laying the Plan, Massacring 20,000 Imperial Soldiers

Inside the camp.

Li Wu Hui had summoned his subordinates and was holding a meeting.

"General, I suspect these remnants of the Imperial Army are plotting something!"

"That's right, a remnant army of over 100,000 whose morale has been shattered dares to charge into a front line guarded by a million-strong army, and one that is guarded by our Daoist sect's Supreme Elder. There's something fishy about that no matter how you look at it!"

"Although we didn't find any secret messages or special arrangements among the five remnants of the Imperial Army that we wiped out, we still cannot let our guard down."

The three officers were remarkably unanimous in their opinions.

They advocated for a strike against the remnants of the Imperial Army!

Li Wu Hui remained expressionless. He raised his hand to stop everyone from continuing to express their opinions and looked at Gao Mingyue:

"Lieutenant Mingyue, what do you think we should do?"

Gao Mingyue pondered for a moment, then spoke in a clear voice:

"I think the general shares our view that it's time to take the initiative, but the question is, who should we attack?"

"Most of the surviving remnants of the Imperial Army today are units of more than 8,000 men, and six of them have more than 10,000 men. We only have 3,600 men, so we certainly cannot divide our forces."

"Even with the general leading us, we can certainly defeat any remnants of the Imperial Army, but who can we fight to stop the Imperial Army's unrevealed conspiracy?"

Upon hearing this, many of the third-rank officers fell silent.

After a while.

Then someone suggested:

"Or, we could start with small units and crush the Imperial Army one by one. But this time, we'll stop pretending and charge straight in once we get close!"

Immediately someone retorted:

"This is a bad move. Starting a war against the weak, even with the remnants of the defeated Imperial Army, might not intimidate them. Instead, they'll think we're weak!"

"If we're going to fight, we should fight the remnants of the Imperial Army, numbering over ten thousand. Once we defeat the six main forces of the Imperial Army remnants again, even if they do reach the vicinity of Meteorite City, they probably won't be able to pull off any schemes."

Others disagreed: "Have you considered our casualties? Each charge involves over ten thousand troops. If the enemy also has many elite soldiers, is it possible that after several battles, we will be unable to restrain the remnants of the Imperial Army?"

A third-ranking officer scoffed, "I think you're just used to winning battles and are afraid of tough fights!"

"You're the coward!"

"I dare to support the remnants of the Imperial Army who number over ten thousand!"

"You! I was worried about soldier casualties, which would lead to failure. Did I say I dared not fight?!"

boom!

Li Wu Hui's precious spear slammed into the ground, producing a deafening roar.

The arguing immediately stopped, and everyone looked at Li Wu Hui.

"I understand the opinions of all my comrades."

Li Wu Hui scanned the crowd.

"My opinion is to fight!"

"But we must strike straight at the heart of the enemy!"

"What does the defeat of ten thousand Imperial Army remnants have to do with us? Our target is the twenty thousand Imperial Army soldiers who can subtly influence the movements of other units!"

Directly attack an army of over 20,000?

For a moment, everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Although no one knows the specific details of the more than 20,000 Imperial Army soldiers, judging from their command positions, they must be hiding a powerful force!

After all, this world is not ancient Earth.

All command positions originate from the very strongest military center.

Just as the emperor was arrogant, so too was his 30,000-strong personal guard legion, which was the only one in the world that started with level 3 soldiers!

Gao Mingyue immediately cupped her hands in a salute:

"General, your insight is unparalleled! Mingyue is sworn to obey, even unto death, and will assist you in decisively defeating the enemy!"

The crowd initially had some doubts, but upon hearing that both generals shared the same opinion, they naturally dared not voice any further objections.

"General, your insight is truly remarkable! We are willing to follow your lead and utterly defeat the enemy!"

"General, your insight is truly remarkable! We are willing to follow your lead and utterly defeat the enemy!"

"General, your insight is truly remarkable! We are willing to follow your lead and utterly defeat the enemy!"

At first, there were scattered sounds, which then merged into a grand chorus of congratulations.

The objective of the operation has finally been determined.

After the other third-level officers left, Gao Mingyue was left alone by Li Wuhui.

"General, are you confident of victory in this battle?"

"certainly..."

Gao Mingyue looked at Li Wuhui with hope.

Gao Mingyue clutched her head in pain.

Boom!

Li Wu Hui chuckled and tapped her forehead with his index finger:

"I remember telling you not to place all your hopes on others, not even me!"

"In this battle, you will command from the central command post and are not allowed to launch any attacks on your own!"

"I will lead the charge, and no matter who the enemy general is or how many there are, they will be no match for the sharpness of my spear!"

Gao Mingyue retorted unwillingly, "But I'm already a level 4 soldier. I can share some of the pressure with you."

Li Wu Hui's eyes sharpened: "I don't deny that, but in my eyes, you are the commander-in-chief. Without your orders, not only the soldiers, but even my performance would be significantly reduced!"

"If something happens to you, that would be a truly humiliating defeat for us, do you understand?"

"Furthermore, commanding the central army is an order! It cannot be disobeyed."

Gao Mingyue took a deep breath: "I understand, Senior Brother Wu Hui. Even if you fall from your horse and are about to die, as long as you don't call for my help, I will remain firmly in the central command!"

"Is that enough?"

Li Wuhui could see the deep disappointment hidden in Gao Mingyue's heart.

But he didn't point it out; instead, he turned around and laughed.

"That's for the best."

"Then it's settled."

On the battlefield, everyone must learn to be strong.

This is not to say that it is some universal truth.

It's just to survive.

......

......

Although the goal has been set.

The group remained focused on finding an opportunity.

This originated from a young Level 2 scout.

"General, I have discovered that this remnant of the Imperial Army, numbering over 20,000, not only maintains a relatively regular schedule, but also always chooses a prime location with both mountains and water to set up camp, never compromising their own comfort."

"Therefore, if we take the initiative to approach, it will definitely arouse their vigilance. Even if the general is incredibly powerful, he may not be able to achieve complete victory in one battle!"

"But if we find an auspicious location to set up camp first, and they approach us on their own initiative, then things will be different."

It definitely has potential.

If the scout's observation is correct, then at least they can catch the enemy off guard, instead of engaging in a fierce battle with a vigilant enemy!

Li Wuhui looked at the young scout with some interest.

[Tier 2 Scout (87/100)]

While their talent is somewhat inferior to that of the Earth's recruits, they are still considered quite talented among the natives.

Most importantly, his observation skills are good, and his experience points are about to level up.

If we spare him in this battle, and he survives, we might gain another reliable and clever Tier 3 officer.

"Your idea is good. What's your name?"

"General, my name is Gu Wen."

The scout answered excitedly.

"Very good, Gu Wen. We'll proceed as you suggested. You'll be assigned to my personal guard battalion. In this battle, you'll closely follow me in the charge and wipe out those who slipped through the net!"

"Yes, General."

Gu Wen bowed and accepted the order.

The entire army began to move swiftly.

They marched silently and made battlefield preparations.

Time flies by.
