The original spies' report said that the Spirit Army would arrive around this afternoon, but the Spirit King was not in such a hurry and did not arrive at Baize until the next day.
At this time, Tang Yue had also received orders to go to Northern Xinjiang.
Outside the Allied camp.
The three kings met, but far away from each other, the Spirit King had already let out a hearty laugh:
"Haha, brother Qin Wang, sister Xuan, haven't seen you for a few days. How are you?"
Behind him were commander Huang Zu, admiral Ye Gui, counselor Cheng Ping, and several senior generals from the Ling Kingdom. As for the Ling Army troops, they were temporarily stationed next to the allied camp.
Xiao Yuan and King Xuan naturally bowed their hands: "Brother Ling Wang."
The Spiritual King is already a bit old. In that era, the average life span of people was not long, especially the king.
Xiao Yuan could feel that the Spirit King had become a lot older since the last time they saw each other, maybe because he had a lot of worries.
The beard on his chin is mixed with a little gray, but it is well groomed, and there is an aura all over his body, which is the aura of someone who has been in power all year round. There is a kind of majesty in every move and every move.
Although there are slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his eyes are bright and bright.
After the three kings met each other, they exchanged polite greetings and entered the Chinese army's tent one after another.
Inside the tent, a giant sand table with extremely detailed drawings had already been placed in the middle.
The three kings stood directly above the sand table so as to overlook the entire map terrain. The generals and counselors of the Three Kingdoms gathered on both sides of the sand table.
Before the discussion, King Xuan took the lead and said: "The ghost clan has lost all conscience, they eat humans, arrest young girls, and do all kinds of evil deeds, which make people and gods angry! I, a woman from the Central Plains, have been in their hands, and I don't know what kind of nightmare I have suffered! This time, we, the Three Kingdoms Alliance, have Army, whether it is sending troops unconditionally or fighting hard, no matter what, we must expel foreign enemies and restore our mountains and rivers!"
She was so angry that her little face turned red with anger. After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Yuan and King Ling, and said seriously: "I hope the two brothers will not hide any selfish motives and act in accordance with the interests of the nation." First!"
Unexpectedly, she, a woman, could be so courageous and understand the overall situation better than the two kings of Wu and Chu.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at her with admiration and said: "Although we, the kings, have always had disputes, they are also internal conflicts within the nation. They are brothers at home who are quarreling. Now, if a bad person wants to break into the house, how can we allow him to be arrogant? "
His metaphor is just right.
King Xuan immediately agreed: "Brother King Qin is right. My family can make as much noise as they want behind closed doors, but outsiders cannot break in!"
King Ling nodded: "Both Sister Xuan and Brother Qin are righteous people. They know that the overall situation is the most important thing. I also know the priority of things. Please rest assured on this point. You don't have to have any doubts. Lingguo is determined to destroy the alien race." , no doubt!”
In this passage, the Spirit King said it very neatly.
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan said in a loud voice: "Then our three-nation allies will work together to defeat the foreign enemies and protect our Central Plains!"
When the ministers of the other three kingdoms heard this, they also became energetic.
Next, the three parties began to discuss the military affairs and had an in-depth discussion on the current ghost army occupying various places in Huanjing.
"Everyone, please take a look."
Xiao Yuan pointed to the position of Anyang on the sand table with his war sword and said: "Since Yu Anmin switched the switch, the ghost tribe entered from here and obtained its military support. Using Anyang as a springboard, in just a few months, they captured the three areas of Huandi. The counties are: Guangyuan, Liaoyang, and Lianzhou."
He scratched several places on it with the tip of his sword, and then said: "King Huan took Xiang Ge as his commander. Huan's army once fought a decisive battle with the ghost tribe in the Guangyuan area. They lost in the first battle. Xiang Ge was defeated and more than half of his troops were lost. , retreated to Liaoyang, and were later defeated."
"At this time, the ghost army no longer went deep into the direction of Huandu, but suddenly moved to the western front, seizing the Wuxia Pass with lightning speed."
This information was all obtained by Lin Chu. After telling this, everyone lowered their heads and stared at the sand table and began to go through it in their minds.
Ye Gui, the general of the Ling Kingdom, sneered and said: "Xiang Ge is also known as a famous general of the Huan Kingdom. He led an army of 300,000, but he was defeated in countless battles and lost cities and territory one after another! That's 300,000 heads. Pigs! If you leave them there for the ghost army to chop down, they will be tired for a while! What Huan Jun did is simply ridiculous!"
Xiao Yuan shook his head slightly and said: "It's not that Huan's army didn't fight, it's that Xiang Ge didn't understand the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and us, so he rashly decided to fight. How can he be invincible?"
"In his eyes, the ghost army is still the same as before. But according to our army's intelligence, this time the ghost army has created a heavy armored cavalry."
"This heavy cavalry has armor-clad war horses and knights on horseback. Their whole bodies are covered with steel. They have ordinary sharp blades that are difficult to break through armor. Moreover, they also hold long spears in their hands, which gives them a great advantage in close quarters. For infantry, it can be crushed directly."
"However, they also have a fatal weakness, which is their slow movement."
At this point, he explained: "Due to the heavy armor, not only are the ghost troops on horseback slow to move, but the war horses are also overwhelmed, making it impossible to achieve a large-scale galloping impact."
After listening to what he said, King Xuan's handsome eyebrows frowned.
The Spirit King said: "But their defenses are thick..."
Xiao Yuan received: "The thick defense is their strength, and the slow movement is their weakness. We should avoid their strengths and attack their weaknesses."
"In order to defeat the ghost army, we must first annihilate the heavy armored cavalry they rely on."
"Well..." King Ling pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yuan and said, "Does Brother Qin have any suggestions?"
"General Su Yi and I discussed this, and we originally planned to hook the horse's legs." Xiao Yuan said and glanced at Su Yi.
After hearing this, Huang Zu, the commander of the Ling Kingdom, his eyes lit up and said: "This tactic is OK! Although we have never seen the heavy cavalry of the Ghost Army, from what His Highness just said, we can roughly imagine it in our minds. Even if the war horses are armored , and it is impossible to wrap them up to the horse's legs. If the tactic of hooking the horse's legs is used, they are so cumbersome. If the front row falls, the rear row will also fall."
"Yeah..." Many people nodded.
However, Xiao Yuan said: "Although hooking the horse's legs can be adopted, it is not the best strategy, because their heavy cavalry have longer spears than our halberds, and this is not the key, the key The problem is that they are not charging with cavalry, but are pushing slowly and flatly, almost unable to trip those behind. If they use horse hooks, they may have to trade two for one."
"Therefore, we [Ruyunge] still need to re-formulate tactics for this heavy cavalry."
"this……"
Everyone understood what he said and their expressions became serious.
King Ling looked around, and finally directed his gaze towards Huang Zu.
Seeing this, the latter pondered for a moment and said: "In my opinion, we can't fight head-on with infantry, we still have to rely on cavalry!"
