In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

"Chen Shan, what do you guys think?"

Nan Tu Rou's gaze fell on Chen Shan.

After all, this tactic was the one that made their reputation known to the Deficit Camp, so it might actually work.

The complex terrain is more convenient than grasslands, and therefore more resources can be utilized.

However, when everyone looked at Chen Shan expectantly, Chen Shan's gaze was fixed on the sand table, and he began to ponder.

"Night raid tactics may not be as effective as you all think."

"It's feasible on the grasslands because the view is open and it's easy to travel, but the terrain here is different."

"General, is there a time limit for our suppression of this rebellion?"

Chen Shan asked.

Nan Tu Rou was taken aback, then shook her head: "There is never a time limit for this kind of thing, but after all, the sooner the war is resolved, the better. The imperial court will not have that much patience."

"Speak up if you have any thoughts."

Nan Tu Rou knew that Chen Shan had a new idea and was also curious about what Chen Shan would do under these circumstances.

"I need agile people, preferably martial arts practitioners. The number doesn't need to be large, around 800 will suffice."

"And it will require some time for special training."

"At that time, the general only needs to lead the army to exert pressure from the front or launch a feint attack, etc., in short, to draw away the enemy's firepower, while I lead men up the mountain to flank them."

"To deliver an effective blow to the other side."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

"Eight hundred men in the rear? Commander Chen, the enemy has thirty thousand on the surface. If there are several thousand of them specifically stationed in the rear, that would be dangerous."

The captain of the Wind Battalion spoke.

They clearly felt that Chen Shan's method was too risky and not worth doing.

Moreover, the terrain here is treacherous, making even a night raid quite troublesome; a night raid, at least, has some advantages.

"It's alright. War is bound to kill people. If we don't take any risks, then there's no point in fighting."

"Moreover, although we are going into the mountains, we are not taking the mountain paths, but rather taking places that the other side would not take."

As Chen Shan spoke, he pointed to a location on the sand table. The location he pointed to was a towering cliff, with two fortresses on top of the cliff, and further ahead was the main territory of the Great Bandit.

"This? This model looks small, but the actual terrain is astonishing, at least several hundred meters high. How can we possibly get up there?"

The generals stared in disbelief at the location Chen Shan pointed to.

"That's why special training is needed. I named it Special Forces, specifically for various complex terrains and combat situations."

"To successfully quell the rebellion, we need to deal not only with the 30,000 troops of the Marquis of Wuding, but also with the major bandits."

"Once we get up there and destroy the bandit's stronghold, the bandits won't have the energy to deal with Wushan Prefecture."

"At that time, dealing with Marquis Wuding will be much easier."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, many generals felt that Chen Shan was being somewhat unrealistic.

Even Nan Tu Rou frowned.

"Providing cover and distraction isn't the problem, but your method is too risky."

"Alright, we'll select personnel from the deficit camp, and I'll assign the rest other tasks."

"Would half a month be enough time?"

Half a month is the maximum time Nan Tu Rou can give.

If there is no action after this time, the imperial court may make a big fuss about it.

Nan Tu Rou didn't want to give those people any leverage over her.

"Half a month is enough."

"Don't worry, General, I'm confident in this matter."

"As for Marquis Wuding, we'll have to rely on you, General."

Chen Shan spoke with great confidence, which surprised Nan Tu Rou. She didn't know where Chen Shan got his confidence from.

Moreover, his description of special forces and the methods he devised were all very novel and unheard of.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Chen Shan and Xiao Zhen stopped discussing it and realized that time was of the essence and they needed to act quickly.

Upon leaving the camp, Chen Shan immediately summoned the Red Battalion and selected eight hundred men as before!

Among these eight hundred people, there were still eighteen of his brothers who had been training with Chen Shan, learning boxing and so on.

They were also among the first to receive training.

They were all quite skilled in various aspects. As for the rest of the group, not all eight hundred were like that; in fact, most of them did not meet the standard.

However, Chen Shan had no other choice but to do as much as possible.

"Chen Shan, you arrange the training schedule. I'm not too clear about this 'special forces' stuff you mentioned."

"But if there's anything I need to prepare, please feel free to ask."

Xiao Zhen knew that Chen Shan had many methods, most of which were ingenious, yet they could achieve the corresponding results.

Furthermore, they needed military merit, so even if it was risky, they had to do it.

"Yes, Brother Xiao, I'll give you some blueprints. Have someone speed up the construction, and make sure the quality is top-notch."

Chen Shan didn't stand on ceremony.

What he was talking about was just some climbing equipment.

The Deficit Camp has composite bows and repeating crossbows, so there's no need to worry about equipment.

The most important thing is climbing tools.

As for this area, Chen Shan has experience.

Although the last system gift pack only gave him Red Hare and a repeating crossbow, he was still familiar with climbing tools.

After all, I traveled from the modern era, and I had seen a lot in my previous life.

Chen Shan's training started quickly, beginning on the second day.

At the same time, Nan Tu Rou had already made arrangements for the remaining troops.

This time, only 10,000 people came, but they needed to deal with an army of at least 30,000.

To achieve victory with fewer troops and quell a rebellion is inherently a difficult task.

After making the arrangements, Nan Tu Rou also sent a message to Marquis Wu Ding.

Its purpose is simply to tell the other side to surrender and give up resistance.

However, sending the message was of no use, and even the soldiers who went in to deliver the message did not come back alive!

This made Nan Tu Rou even more convinced that Marquis Wuding had truly rebelled.

The training at Chenshan lasted fifteen days. In addition to honing their skills and teaching them rock climbing techniques, they also taught them how to use climbing tools effectively.

Fortunately, the climbing equipment was not complicated, and the group of people had a good learning ability.

During this period, Nan Tu Rou attempted to launch an attack, but the results were not ideal.

Marquis Wuding relied on the city walls for defense, and with bandits also frequently launching attacks from Wushan Mountain, he had not achieved any significant results.

"Chen Shan, it's almost time. General Nan Tu is preparing to attack again."

"This time we are attempting to attack the city, and at the same time we have set up defenses along the only route to Wushan."

"For this reason, General Nan Tu specially dispatched officers and soldiers from surrounding counties to provide assistance."

As Xiao Zhen spoke, half a month had passed, and it was time to test the results.

Chen Shan is also very much looking forward to it.

"Tell the general that I will immediately lead men up the back mountain. Brother Xiao, you take the rest of the men to provide assistance."

"If successful, I will lead troops to provide assistance."
