Jade spy border

Chapter 151 Strategy

From dark night to dawn, a total of nine groups of wolves came one after another. Except for the first time, which was the most, the rest were from dozens to hundreds.

Mi Yuyan and Shen Xiangqing were on the trees between the cliffs, watching these dead soldiers killing wolves, skinning them, killing wolves and skinning them again, in a cycle, as if they were tireless...

Both of them knew very well that since such a large group of wolves could enter the canyon, there must be a road at that end, but finding this road was actually of little significance, because these dead soldiers were killing tools and they worked tirelessly. and fatigue, a completely disregarded approach to life. No matter how many soldiers go in, they may not be able to fill this hole.

What's more, even if there is a road, there must be many traps or traps. If you want to take a team of more than 3,000 people into the mountain and ensure that no trap is triggered, this is a difficult thing in itself, and according to Shen Xiangqing I know that the skills of these dead warriors are comparable to those of dragon knight guards and black armored warriors.

In the invasion war, it was impossible to achieve a crushing victory without taking advantage of the right time, place, and people. The manpower was already scarce. If we were to lose here at once, who would we rely on to destroy the eighteen bandit villages? What's more, those are the lives of his brothers. Unless it is really a last resort, no general can fight with a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​people.

In the far distance of the canyon, where the sky and the earth meet, a white line quickly began to color the already faded blue. After cleaning the battlefield, the dead soldiers rushed directly to the green water belt, washed away the blood on their bodies, and ate After eating wolf meat and white flour steamed buns, we went back to sleep.

When the sun rises in the east, this long and narrow valley once again regains the tranquility and charm of yesterday, even the bloodshed at night has completely dissipated...

Mi Yuyan and Shen Xiangqing returned along the original path. The two of them reached the top of the cliff, ate some dry food, and started to regulate their breathing with two Yaosheng Pills.

I don’t know why, but after using Yaohua Decoction for three days, Mi Yuyan actually felt that her physical fatigue and the length of her breath had improved to varying degrees. After exerting her internal energy day and night, she could only manage two The cycle can be restored to the original state. If it were not to take care of Shen Xiangqing, she felt that it would not be impossible to return in one breath.

When Shen Xiangqing opened his eyes refreshed, Mi Yuyan had already used a sharp small stone to draw the general layout of yesterday's canyon on the land on the mountain. Shen Xiangqing took a quick look at it, and it seemed that he lacked the skills to investigate on his own. Those details were added without hesitation, and he explained them while adding them.

"There is a trail here that can be crossed by horses. The food is probably sent in from here, but this opening looks like a forest. In fact, it is a swamp. There are no wooden boards in it. I want to enter from here. It’s almost impossible to avoid being discovered.”

"Because there are nets and huge rocks on the outermost edge of this forest. I inquired about it and found that the wires of the traps were buried very far away. I didn't dare to go in any further. The cliffs over there were all unobstructed cliffs and strange rocks. .There is also a sentry here, and there are hidden sentries here and here..."

Seeing Shen Xiangqing stop writing, Mi Yuyan said softly: "Don't worry about fighting in close combat. In this battle, there is no chance of winning by relying on conventional combat. Even if we win, we will lose too many troops and lose too many generals. It is not suitable for the current situation." situation."

Shen Xiangqing sighed. He thought the same thing in his mind. He was from the Anbei Army and moved through the army in the vast northwest. He always had plenty of troops. As long as he brought back the front-end intelligence and cooperated with the general to make strategic plans, he never considered it. There is a problem of not having enough manpower. Even when it comes to the Dragoon Guards, if there is a shortage of men, they can be recruited from all sides. When has it ever fought such an uneasy battle?

"There are too few people, and there are constraints everywhere. I wonder if Xuan Jiu has any ideas?" Mi Yuyan pursed her lips: "I originally wanted to use this water belt, but judging from how they jumped in to take a bath, the water here is probably deep. , and the flow speed below is extremely fast, it is impossible to achieve the purpose with poison. Moreover, it is not clear where the water in this water belt will eventually flow. It would be a heinous crime to accidentally kill the people downstream."

Shen Xiangqing nodded and said, "That's true, but wouldn't it be more feasible if we used bows and arrows to lower the person on a rope from the top of the cliff and shoot him from a long distance?"

Mi Yuyan shook her head: "Where do bows and arrows come from? Folks are not allowed to hide bows and arrows secretly. Once the bows and arrows at Linnanguan are used, this means that a gap has been opened. The army has not been able to enter the southwest so quickly. Tens of thousands of people in the Yunan Palace If you take the opportunity to cause trouble and use the people of the three states as a raft, won't your previous preparations be in vain?"

Shen Xiangqing was very aware of the situation in the southwest at this time. There was only a time lag in annihilating the Eighteen Bandits and the Dead Soldiers Camp. He could neither wait nor send the imperial army to the Ming Road. Xuan Jiu's words told him to just Be able to respond with silence.

"General Shen, do you know how many masters of hidden weapons there are among the Dragon Cavalry Guards?" Mi Yuyan thought of hidden weapons from bows and arrows, and asked aloud.

Shen Xiangqing shook his head and said: "There are definitely no people who can use Xuan Jiu to this extent. They are similar to me. The Dragon Cavalry Guards can barely gather twenty or thirty people, and the Black Armored Soldiers should have forty or fifty people. But I have a worry. Once news of Zhuye's murder on that day spreads to the Death Soldiers' Camp, they only need to add a mask to cover this most vulnerable weakness, and then Xuan Jiu's leaf will no longer be used as a hidden weapon."

I have to admit that Shen Xiangqing is right. If the dead soldiers wear armor and masks, it will be much more difficult to use concealed weapons. In this way, the dozens of people who were originally scraped together from the dragon knight guards and black armored soldiers, It may be reduced by more than half in an instant. More importantly, the leaves cannot be used, and the needles cannot be used, so what hidden weapon should be used? Where to find so many hidden weapons in a short period of time is a question.

After being silent for a long time in front of the sketch on the ground, Mi Yuyan took a stone and smoothed the traces. He stood up and said, "Let's go back first and see what's going on over there in Zoumazhai. Look at the situation here. , at least for the next two days, their schedule should be to stay in the day and go out at night. If the conditions in the Zoumazhai are suitable, I have a way."

Shen Xiangqing raised his eyebrows, but still said: "But it is impossible for all our people to move in in one or two days. Without soldiers, how can Xuan Jiu take action?"

Mi Yuyan shook her head helplessly: "Then you can only use as many as you come. As for what is not enough, it is really not possible. Let's go to the mountain gate and pick one. Without revealing your identity, I believe the master will not be stingy in helping." , but General Shen still needs to be responsible for picking people, and I have to get something else to ensure that this strategy is successful."
