"You don't have to worry. Although the rebel army successfully captured Yuanxian County, on the surface, all Taoist sects and aristocratic families have joined them. The army is strong and powerful, but in fact, each of them has hidden ghosts inside. After half a year of running-in, all matters have been properly arranged. , now is a good time to counterattack." Seeing the worried faces on the faces of the crowd, Ling Wan comforted them.

Zeng Yang said impassionedly: "What Ling Daoyou said is true. The rebels have not taken Yuanxian County for a long time, and the hearts of the people are not attached. After the integration of the headquarters in the past six months, everything is ready. Although there are many rebels, they are just mobs. Its elite monks are not much stronger than us, and our active attack this time is to use offense as defense, rather than waiting for the rebels to attack, it is better to take the initiative."

"This time, the headquarters will be the vanguard of the alliance's counter-offensive. After taking down Xuanyun City, the alliance will record the first contribution for everyone. Afterwards, the headquarters can sit safely in Xuanyun City. The subsequent counter-offensive does not require further efforts from the headquarters. with the promise."

"The rebels have just captured Yuanxian County, and all the fortifications have not yet been perfected. We are waiting for work, which is a good opportunity for counterattack."

"This time, the main column will focus on Wuyue Pavilion in Yunxuan City, the sixth column will focus on Huaxia Pavilion in Yunxuan City, and the seventh column will attack Fengxiang Pavilion in Yunxuan City. We must take down these three pavilions before the reinforcements from the rebel army arrive. The foothold, so that the legion can advance and retreat in the subsequent attack on Yunxuan City, the responsibility of this counterattack is the greatest, and it requires everyone to work together and use your life sincerely."

"Afterwards, the coalition forces will reward you heavily."

Everyone has heard such words for countless times. Although Zeng Yang's words are passionate, cadenced, and full of emotions, they are still full of emotions.

To everyone, it's nothing more than mediocre, at most it's just a little louder.

Everyone has different expressions, some are expressionless and calm, or slightly frowning, with a look of worry, but there is no one who is gearing up and jumping for joy.

Hearing this, Tang Ning's mood changed. As the vanguard of the coalition forces to counterattack the rebels, it is not necessarily a bad thing. The current situation is inevitable. The bigger the scale, the more dangerous it is for the low-level monks. On the contrary, at the beginning of the war, it will take time for the two sides to dispatch troops and generals, and the scale will not be too large.

As long as Xuanyun City is taken down, the follow-up war can avoid going to the front line. The problem is that it is not known how many troops the rebels have in Xuanyun City, and their specific strength.

Seeing no one answered, he asked, "How many troops does the rebel army have in Wuyue Pavilion?"

"According to the column, there are about four or five regiments, but once the headquarters moves, they will definitely have support troops to rush there. The rebels have probably assembled six or seven columns in Yunxuan City, and each pavilion city has a regiment For example, Wuyue Pavilion, Huaxia Pavilion, and Fengxiang Pavilion, which border the city, all have four or five regiments of troops."

The strength of six or seven columns is not too much. It is impossible for the rebels to support all their troops to Wuyue Pavilion, Huaxia Pavilion, and Fengxiang Pavilion. The alliance has dispatched three columns, and it must have an advantage in terms of strength. However, the only thing to worry about is that the rebels are defending themselves, and it may not be so easy to break through.

"Does the legion ask how long it will take for the headquarters to take down Wuyue Pavilion?"

"The time given to us is only five days. When the rebels see the headquarters attacking, they will definitely ask for support from the rear base camp. Their army will arrive at Yunxuan City to prepare for the attack."
....
Counting three months, we need to take Yunxuan City within three months, so the headquarters only has five days. "

……

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the brigades had assembled, and everyone left the hall together, led the team to the column, boarded their respective warships, and sailed to the southwest.

……

At night, with dark clouds, many warships sailed past the junction of Libo Pavilion and Wuyue Pavilion. In the cabin of the united Fengling ship, everyone gathered together. Zeng Yang, Ling Wan, and Jiang Yu entered from the outside and took their seats.

"Everyone, I just received an order from the column to ask the headquarters to capture Xuanyang Mountain." Zeng Yang flipped his hand, unfolded a topographic atlas, hung it on the stone wall behind, and pointed to one of the mountains circled in red The figure of the shape said.

"This is Mount Xuanyang. According to intelligence reports, the rebels have stationed a small battalion there, with half the strength of the regiment. Our task is to attack this mountain range."

"All the circles on the album
The red positions are all where the rebels garrisoned. As fellow Taoists can see, the rebels have arranged a total of four camps in the Wuyue Pavilion, which are in the shape of a square and guarded around the Wuyue Pavilion. "

"According to our intelligence, each of these four small camps has half a regiment of rebel troops stationed there, while the Wuyue Pavilion in the middle has nearly three regiments of troops."

"It should be noted that there is a Huaxiang Valley rebel camp behind Xuanyang Mountain, which is only more than [-] miles away from Xuanyang Mountain. It is impossible for us to cross Xuanyang Mountain and Wuyue Pavilion to attack directly in Huaxiang Valley. The garrison is too risky, we have to take down Xuanyang Mountain and Wuyue Pavilion first and then advance forward.”

"That is to say, the rebels in Huaxiang Valley may support Xuanyang Mountain. Fortunately, they also
Only half the regiment's strength. "

"If they stand still, the rebels in Xuanyang Mountain are very likely to resist for a while. If the situation is not good, they may abandon their camp and flee to Huaxiang Valley. This is the most likely. Otherwise, there is no need for them to be in the rear another faction

"Of course, it is also possible that the Huaxiang Valley rebels will support Wuyue Pavilion. In short, we must prepare for the worst and be prepared for the Huaxiang Valley rebels to support Xuanyang Valley."

"The main attacker of the column is Wuyueting City, which the rebels are focusing on defending. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a superior force. In addition to the headquarters wing, only the first wing is responsible for attacking the garrison on the right front of the rebel army's Wuyueting City alone."

"That's the basic situation. Do you have any good suggestions for the headquarters to capture Xuanyang Mountain?"

Everyone look at me, I look at you, Xia Yu asked: "I am more worried, whether there will be high-level rebel columns stationed in Xuanyang Valley, if there are monks at the level of Lianxu, although we are numerous, it is useless. It's even dangerous."

"According to our information, the garrison of the Declaration Valley is the Fifth Regiment of the Fourth Column of the Third Army of the Donglai County Alliance. The monks are in charge, otherwise the column would not be able to send only us to attack there.”

"So, did the column ask us how long it takes to take Xuanyang Mountain?"

"Three days, counting from now, the column ordered us to break through this mountain within three days. Since we set foot on the land of Wuyue Pavilion, the counterattack will officially start, and the army has given the column five days."

....
"Considering that the rebels may be defeated and flee to the rear camp to continue to resist, because
Therefore, we have to take down the Xuanyang Mountain camp within three days. If we lose, everyone under ourselves will be downgraded and their salaries will be deducted. "

"What if the rebel army stationed in Huaxiang Valley reaches Xuanyang Mountain, what should we do? We can't still ask us to capture the rebel camp guarded by a large defensive formation within three days when the troops are the same!"

"If any rebel support troops arrive at Xuanyang Mountain, the responsibility will not be on the headquarters. At that time, I will just play by ear."

"After taking down Xuanyang Mountain, shall we continue to march into Huaxiang Valley, or shall we stay here?"

"If Xuanyang Mountain is successfully captured, no matter whether the rebels fled to Huaxiang Valley or not, we must first reconcile with the column, and then follow the column's follow-up instructions." After Zeng Yang said, the room fell into a brief silence, seeing no one followed After asking a question, he continued: "If you don't have a good strategy for capturing Xuanyang Mountain, let me first share my thoughts."

"After the headquarters arrived at Xuanyang Mountain, it is expected that the rebels will never dare to go out to fight. They will definitely hide in the formation and rely on the formation to defend themselves. At present, we don't know what kind of formation the rebels guard the big formation."

"But according to the information, it is a fifth-tier high-grade large formation integrating offense and defense. There is a defensive light curtain outside and offensive means inside. I intend to divide the troops to surround the large formation on three sides, leaving only a gap for retreat. Seeing that there is a way to escape, the army will not resist stubbornly and fight desperately, and may even abandon the battle and flee directly.”

"In this way, we can take down this camp without bloodshed. The column only asked us to capture this camp as soon as possible, and did not ask us to annihilate them all."

"If they abandon the formation and flee, the monks of our alliance on the left and right sides can immediately pounce on them

Taking advantage of the victory to pursue the pursuit, the rebel army was terrified at that time, and they must have fled in a hurry, unable to organize an effective counterattack. We can also take this opportunity to kill more monks of the enemy army. "

"I don't know if you are right
What is the intention of this offensive strategy? "

Pang Tong glanced at the crowd and said first, "Friend Zeng, I have a question. If the rebels accept the death order and refuse to abandon the formation and flee, the headquarters will have to attack the formation by force. Is there anyone here who is proficient in formations?" I don’t understand, if we don’t have someone who understands formations, our offensive will inevitably be blocked in the face of a fifth-level high-grade formation, so do we have to make a request to the column? Please send someone to help.”

"Fellow Daoist Pang doesn't need to worry, fellow Daoist Jiang Yu from this department is proficient in the formation method."
