Chengze stood at the entrance of the tent, looking around the camp. Everyone is busy, and every action is part of the preparations for war. He walked down the steps of the tent, praying silently for each of them.
He walked up to a soldier who was checking his equipment and tapped him on the shoulder. The soldier immediately stopped what he was doing, turned around and saluted.
"There is no need to salute, continue your work." Chengze said gently, and glanced at the warrior's equipment, "Is the armor fastened? How is the sword sharpened?"
"Everything has been checked, captain. The sword is sharp and the armor is firmly fixed." The soldier replied proudly.
"Very good, make sure your equipment is impeccable." Chengze nodded with satisfaction and continued to move forward.
He walked over to a group of cavalry who were tending their horses. The neighing of the horses and the thump of their hooves on the ground was powerful.
"Are your partners ready for the battle?" Chengze asked, equally gentle but with a seriousness that could not be ignored.
"Yes, captain." A cavalryman replied, combing the mane of the horse. "We make sure they are in good condition and ready to sprint."
Chengze handed over a piece of apple and helped feed it to one of the horses. "A good cavalry should not only take care of his own weapons and equipment, but also take good care of his own horse."
He then walked toward the supply area, where soldiers were handing out a day's worth of rations and water. He took a ration packet and examined the contents carefully.
"Make sure everyone gets the rations. We don't know how long tomorrow's battle will last." Chengze said to the soldiers distributing rations.
"Captain, we all distribute according to the standard, everyone will have enough." The supply soldier replied confidently.
"Okay, remember, a vigorous army is a guarantee of victory." Chengze said with satisfaction.
Chengze advanced slowly in the camp. Although his steps were steady, he always brought a burst of new vitality wherever he went. He walked up to a group of soldiers who were inspecting their weapons.
"These swords are our teeth against the enemy." Chengze said as he walked, picked up a sword and inspected it carefully, "Keeping them sharp is like our will, which is unshakable."
The soldiers listened, nodding one by one, determination shining in their eyes.
"Captain, we will ensure that every sword is as sharp as your will." A soldier replied, his voice firm.
Chengze smiled with satisfaction and put down the sword in his hand, "Very good, remember, our weapons are sharp blades to protect our companions, family and country."
Then, he came to the center of the camp, where a simple shooting range was set up, and some new recruits were practicing spear throwing.
"Remember, the target is not just a wooden target." Chengze stood beside the recruits and guided them, "Every time you throw, imagine that it penetrates the enemy's heart. This is not only a skill, but also a mentality."
The recruits listened carefully, each tried to do what Chengze said, and their throwing became more focused.
"Captain, we will become stronger under your guidance." A recruit said with confidence.
Chengze walked towards the tent area, where the soldiers were packing their bags, ready to attack at any time.
"Every little thing may determine life or death." Chengze said as he walked, "Make sure you have clean bandages and enough arrows in your luggage. We must not only win the war, but also preserve every detail as much as possible. A warrior’s life.”
"Yes, Captain!" the soldiers responded in unison, and they rechecked their bags to make sure they didn't miss any important supplies.
Chengze finally came to the campfire, where the soldiers were enjoying their last meal. He sat down, took a piece of bread, and ate with them.
"Only when we are full can we have the strength to fight." He said among the soldiers. "Tonight, we are colleagues, and tomorrow, we are comrades-in-arms. No matter what happens, we must support each other and face it together."
Smiles appeared on the faces of the soldiers. They felt Chengze's trust and support and knew that no matter what they faced tomorrow, they were not alone.
The soldiers sat around the campfire, their faces flushed by the firelight, but in their eyes, the light of decisive battle shone. The firelight danced on their determined faces, like the restless fighting spirit in their hearts. Chengze stood there, his shadow lengthening on the ground with the firelight, just like the fight they were about to face.
"Captain, fighting side by side with you, we have nothing to fear!" The soldier's voice was full of passion and seemed to represent everyone's aspirations.
Chengze nodded slightly, his eyes passing through the heat of the bonfire, warm and firm, "In this land, each of us has our oaths. Our families, our relatives and friends, and the oaths in our hearts are all Awaiting our triumph.”
The soldiers nodded or smiled, trust and respect written on everyone's face. Chengze walked to the bonfire and stretched out his hand to warm himself.
"Remember, brothers, we are one. Whether on the battlefield or by this fire, we are one family." Chengze's voice rose above the firelight, like the brightest star in the night sky, "We are going to Bring home, bring peace back, bring back glory. And all of this starts with tomorrow's battle."
When the soldiers heard this, the fire in their hearts seemed to grow stronger. They looked at each other, their eyes conveying perseverance and determination.
"Tonight, we rest." Chengze continued, his voice echoing in the night wind, "We recover our strength, we organize our thoughts, and we sharpen our will. For what? For tomorrow, we can use our fullest blood to and the most tenacious will to drive out the Khitans and defend our land."
The soldiers began to discuss quietly, excitement and anticipation spreading among them. A young soldier stood up, his eyes shining with tears in the light of the campfire.
"Captain, you have given us confidence that we will not disappoint your expectations. Tomorrow, we will let the Khitans know that they have stepped in the wrong place!" His voice was firm and powerful.
Chengze walked up to the young soldier and patted him on the shoulder, "The courage of every soldier is our shield against the enemy. Your courage will inspire us all."
The discussion around the campfire gradually became quiet, and everyone was immersed in the upcoming fierce battle. Their hearts were ready, just waiting for the sun to rise and the horns to sound.
"Now, go and rest." Chengze's order spread to everyone's ears, "Tomorrow, we will be the light in the darkest hour before dawn. Brave warriors, may your swords be as strong as your hearts indestructible."
The soldiers dispersed and returned to their tents, carrying Chengze's words and common expectations in their hearts. It's late at night, but everyone in the camp knows that tomorrow they will write their own legends.
Report to the general, the marshal is calling you to go to the main tent to discuss a plan for an all-out attack tomorrow.
When Chengze entered the big tent, Li Keyong was staring at the map intently and thinking. The atmosphere in the tent was tense, and all the generals were looking at the map, waiting for Chengze's arrival.
Li Keyong raised his head, saw Chengze entering, and nodded slightly to signal him to come closer.
"Chengze, you came just in time. We need to formulate a comprehensive attack plan to ensure that tomorrow's battle goes smoothly." Li Keyong's tone was full of pressure and determination.
Chengze stood still and saluted, indicating that he was ready to participate in the discussion.
"Marshal, I have checked the enemy's defense layout and our intelligence. According to my analysis, the enemy's defense line is the strongest on the north side, while the south side is relatively weak. I suggest that we adopt the tactic of a north-south pincer attack and attack in two directions. The enemy. This can distract the enemy and give us more opportunities to cross the defense line." Chengze made his own suggestion.
Li Keyong thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Your suggestion makes sense, Chengze. We will concentrate the main force on the south side, and at the same time send some troops to launch a feint attack on the north side to attract the enemy's attention. Then, we will send an elite force to launch a surprise attack from the south side. , taking advantage of the enemy's neglected areas to penetrate their defense lines." Li Keyong explained.
Chengze listened carefully and then offered additional opinions.
"Marshal, I suggest adding a force proficient in mountain fighting to the assault force. They can take advantage of the terrain to launch attacks from the enemy's flanks and cut off the enemy's retreat. This will provide our main force with a greater Attack the space and throw the enemy into chaos." Chengze proposed his own idea.
Li Keyong pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Good idea, Chengze. We will send an additional mountain combat force and you will personally command it. They will launch operations after the raid begins and cut off the enemy's retreat. This will bring greater strength to our attack. Advantage." Li Keyong decided the next move.
Chengze expressed his acceptance of the task and paid tribute to Li Keyong.
"Marshal, I will go all out to complete the mission and ensure our victory. Please rest assured that I will personally lead this mountain combat force to create more opportunities for our main force."
Li Keyong nodded affirmatively and looked at Chengze.
"I believe in you, Chengze. You are one of the most reliable generals in our army. We look forward to tomorrow's victory. We will fight together and win in the end!"
Amidst the applause with high morale, Chengze felt the trust and support of the generals. He knew that this would be a crucial battle and that their unity and belief would be the key to victory.
Li Keyong looked around at the generals in the tent and said seriously: "No matter how the war situation changes, we must maintain communication and coordination. Everyone's role is crucial."
At this time, a burly general named Du Yong stood up. "General Lee, my heavy cavalry is on standby. We can form a breakthrough on the south side and then press the entire army."
Li Keyong nodded, "Du Yong, your cavalry is our sharp blade. However, we cannot invest all our strength at the beginning. Your cavalry must hit the enemy's vital points at the most critical moment."
A thoughtful counselor, Zhang Zhi, also joined the discussion. "General Li, the north-south pincer attack plan proposed by Chengze is indeed thorough. I suggest that we can use a small force to create momentum on the north side to confuse the enemy, and then take the opportunity to launch a strong attack from the south side."
Li Keyong looked at Zhang Zhi with approval, "Counselor Zhang's suggestion is good. We can make the enemy mistakenly think that the north side is our main attack direction."
Then, a young general who was good at debating, Zhao Yi, raised an objection. "But we have to consider, what if the enemy sees through our plan? We need a more deceptive strategy."
Li Keyong tapped the map, "Zhao Yi is right, we must make several plans to deal with different situations. Chengze, what do you think?"
Chengze thought for a moment and then replied, "According to the enemy's past fighting habits, they do not respond quickly to emergencies. We can launch a small-scale raid on the north side first to force them to mobilize their troops. At this time, our main force will be Attack from the south."
As the strategic meeting progressed, the atmosphere in the tent turned from tense to enthusiastic. Every general participated in the discussion passionately and contributed his or her own wisdom and experience.
"General Li," Du Yong said solemnly, his eyes firm, "My cavalry needs exact orders. We will be the vanguard of the charge, and I need to know when to attack and how to coordinate with the infantry."
Li Keyong responded: "Du Yong, I trust your judgment. When you see the fire on the east side of the enemy, it is a signal that our feint attack has been successful. You must attack quickly and break through frontally. The infantry will be behind your cavalry." After a breakthrough, follow up immediately to consolidate the breakthrough."
Zhang Zhi gently stroked his beard, with a gleam of strategy in his eyes: "I have ordered the scouts to closely monitor the enemy's movements on the north side. The feint attack must not only confuse the enemy, but also give them a real sense of threat and force them to disperse their forces." "
"Then how big should our feint attack force be? If it's too small, we might lose the momentum; if it's too much, it will weaken our main offensive force on the south side." Zhao Yi asked worriedly.
"Our light cavalry and some infantry are enough." Li Keyong replied calmly, "They move quickly enough to cause confusion without affecting our main attack direction."
Chengze stood up at this time, and his eyes swept over everyone present, "Let us not forget that war is unpredictable. Everyone must be prepared to respond to emergencies at any time. My mountain troops will serve us Providing the necessary flexibility to rapidly support any front."
"Well said, Chengze." Li Keyong nodded in approval, "I need this kind of flexibility. No matter how the battle situation changes, we can respond quickly."
Du Yong waved the sword in his hand and said firmly: "As long as we are given a breakthrough, my cavalry will go straight to the heart of the enemy!"
Zhang Zhi added: "And our feint attack is not just a pretense. We will fight with real swords and guns to make the enemy feel threatened, so that they will divide their troops."
Zhao Yi nodded and praised: "In this way, even if the enemy is aware of the threat from the south, they will not be able to easily mobilize their troops. This is exactly our plan."
The atmosphere in the big tent was immersed in the silence that followed the exciting strategic discussion that had just ended. The soldiers quietly packed away the maps and weapon models, while the generals gathered together to exchange their final opinions.
"I need all the scouts to be in place before dawn tomorrow," Zhang Zhi whispered to the assistant beside him, his eyes like sharp blades, "Any small changes must be reported to me immediately."
The assistant clenched his fists and replied forcefully: "Counselor Zhang, I will personally supervise the deployment of the scouts."
Du Yong walked towards Chengze, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Chengze, I know your troops are well-trained, but there are many variables in battle, so you must be ready to respond at any time."
Chengze nodded with a determined look: "Don't worry, my troops can provide support from the flanks at any time or intercept fleeing enemies."
Zhao Yi stood aside with several subordinates, examining a complex troop deployment map in detail. Pointing to a key point in the picture, he said: "The terrain here is complex and suitable for us to set up an ambush. If the enemy really divides their forces, we can set up traps here."
"And don't forget," he turned to the soldier next to him, "we must have enough arrows and gunpowder. I don't want anything to go wrong at the critical moment."
The soldiers immediately took action and recorded every instruction from Zhao Yi.
Li Keyong stood quietly aside, observing his generals. He knew that these generals and their troops were the key to the decisive battle. He cleared his throat, once again attracting everyone's attention.
"Remember," his voice was low and powerful, "tomorrow's battle is not just about glory. What we carry is the future of the country and the people. So, tonight, when you go back, you must not only check your equipment, but also inspire Your morale. Let everyone know that they are about to participate in not just a battle, but the future of our country."
The generals were deeply moved and nodded to express their understanding.
"Now," Li Keyong continued, "go get ready. Let us make sure that every detail is carefully scrutinized, whether it is our tactics or the equipment of each soldier. Tomorrow, when the sun sets in the east, we must fight bravely Kill the enemy and win peace for the country!"
Everyone agreed in unison, and their morale was high. Then, they dispersed into the night, preparing for the decisive battle at dawn.
