Su Yi suggested going deep alone.
In terms of the art of war, this is a taboo.
Because after occupying the Black Stone, it is still the territory of Xirong on all sides, and it is far away from Qinguan. It can easily be cut off by the middle road and divide the main force of the Qin army into two.
Therefore, many people expressed opposition, and Tian Shou even said: "General Su Yi still made this suggestion despite knowing that if the lone army goes deep, it is very likely to cause death. It is really inconsistent with the law of war."
"The art of war is always dead, and the enemy will not always follow your art of war. The way to win is to adapt to the enemy's changes." Su Yi said: "Taking Black Rock City will cause a full panic in Xirong, and then Issued wrong military orders."
"No matter how you look at it, the operational significance of this lone army is extraordinary."
"If something unexpected happens, what should we do? All the soldiers of the Black Stone Division will be wiped out."
"Then it depends on the adaptability of the commander of this department."
Everyone was arguing, but Xiao Yuan did not stop them. Instead, he turned his back to them and was looking at the military map on the wall, lost in thought.
In military wars, the occupation of transportation arteries will affect the situation in the area of the war zone. Blackstone City is more important to Xirong, and they will most likely not give up there.
Use one force to attract the Xirong army and create an absolute advantage on the large battlefield for your main force.
Should we take this risk of being alone?
After thinking about it, Xiao Yuan decided to adopt Su Yi's opinion and turned around and said: "The first battle to capture Black Rock City can be implemented."
Upon hearing this, Su Yi immediately clasped his fists and bent down: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Tian Xue was still worried and said: "Your Majesty, think twice..."
Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly and said decisively: "Instruct Yang Heng to send troops from Qinguan on September 16th to seize Black Rock City as quickly as possible!"
"Order Beiling County Sheriff to transport all war preparation materials to the front line."
"Assemble the Qinzhou camp with 100,000 soldiers to quickly march to Qinguan."
He issued three orders one after another, and everyone saluted in unison: "I will obey the king's order——"
This was a discussion that decided the war, and it was also the second time in history that Qin counterattacked a foreign tribe.
The Qin army's military intelligence was strong, and through the falcon, Xiao Yuan's royal order quickly reached Qin Pass.
There are 50,000 defenders here, who cannot be mobilized without the king's order. Needless to say, their combat power is not to mention. Most of them are soldiers who have been on the battlefield and participated in several battles.
The main general, Yang Heng, was also one of the Eight Heroic Generals of the Qin Kingdom.
In the big tent, all the border army generals gathered together.
Yang Heng, who was directly above, said straight to the point: "According to the king's highest military order, we are ordering our troops to launch an attack on Xirong on September 16th and quickly seize Blackstone City!"
After hearing this, the generals not only did not feel any nervousness, but all of them showed excitement and spirits.
Because many of the officers and soldiers at Qin Pass were rebels at Xiping Pass, including these generals, most of them came from Beiling and had sworn hatred with Xirong.
Before this, there had been a memorial requesting Xiao Yuan to send troops to attack Xirong. However, due to the situation of various countries at that time, he never received permission from the royal court.
Now that the king's order has been issued, one can imagine the mood of the generals.
Yang Heng looked around and continued: "This time, the king is determined to completely eliminate the dangers of foreign enemies. Our troops are also the vanguard of the counterattack against Xirong. The occupation of Blackstone City will play a vital role in the entire battlefield. Therefore, all officers and soldiers must be at their best!"
"General, please give me an order. I have been waiting for this day for a long time!" All the generals looked at him.
Xiao Yuan was the monarch and the supreme commander. He ordered an army to march at what time and where to capture. This was the general strategic direction. As for how to attack specifically, that was a matter for Yang Heng's troops.
Seeing the rising emotions of the generals, he drew out his sword and pointed sideways at the military map:
"Based on the geographical location of Black Rock City, which is far away from the Qin Pass, in order to prevent any accidents along the way, I would like to divide the army into two groups."
"On the first route, General Wang will lead five thousand soldiers and march towards Quanqiu to serve as a suspect."
As he spoke, the battle sword in his hand also drew an imaginary line upward from Qinguan.
"I have the order!" General Wang immediately clasped his fists.
"On the second route, my main force of 40,000 people will bypass the main road, conceal their whereabouts, and rush forward at starry night to achieve the purpose of raiding the Black Rock."
Quanqiu is within the territory of Xirong, coming out of Qinguan and going straight north.
The order for this battle was clear, which was to use five thousand suspected soldiers to feint to attack Quanqiu, making Xirong think that the Qin army was going to fight in a straight line to the north, but in fact the main force was secretly moving to the upper left.
This is to create an intelligence network. Yang Heng can be an eight-level general, but he is not a loser.
After finalizing the plan, he looked at a general below: "The remaining five thousand soldiers will be left by Jiang Ping to guard Qinguan, waiting for the main army."
There is nothing wrong with an army of 50,000, with 40,000 attacking Black Rock City, 5,000 acting as suspects, and 5,000 staying behind. However, when Jiang Ping heard this, he was quite dissatisfied and said: "The general is not convinced, and all the brothers have gone out to fight. Why should I stay behind and the general be partial?"
"Insolent!" Yang Heng was furious and said firmly: "This is a military order!"
When the military order was mentioned, Jiang Ping didn't dare to say anything more, but he was still unhappy. He frowned and said with his fists in his hands: "Yes, I will take the order."
Yang Heng glared at him again, then pointed his sword at the map again, and then deployed.
From Jiang Ping's mentality, we can see the fighting spirit of the border army generals. Everyone wants to go out to fight. On the one hand, they are enemies of the country and the family, and on the other hand, they also want to make achievements on the battlefield.
After the military discussion, the generals came out of the military tent. Jiang Ping still refused to give up. He grabbed a general's arm and pulled him aside. He looked around, and then said with a shy smile: "Old Chen, this time The battle in Black Rock City must be extremely dangerous, and it’s not like you don’t know about the Xirong thieves. The battle is extremely dangerous, so why don’t we switch and let you guard the house?”
Seeing his appearance, Old Chen was happy: "Old Jiang, this is a military order, how dare you disobey it?"
"No, Old Chen." Jiang Ping said anxiously: "Let's discuss it. I'll go and say no to General Yang and it's over."
"Go, go." How could Lao Chen do as he wished, he twisted his arm and left.
"Huh? You." Jiang Ping stretched out his hand and sighed helplessly.
When he returned to his headquarters, several thousand captains under his command also came to greet him. Some people couldn't help but ask: "General, how is the situation? I heard that the king's order has been issued, so what is the combat order of our department?" ?”
Everyone can't wait.
Jiang Ping glanced at them: "Stay at Qin Pass."
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then became a little anxious: "General, why don't you fight for it?"
"Do you think I didn't fight for it?" Jiang Ping glared and said angrily: "But the military order is here, what can we do! Guard the country, but if something goes wrong, I will be blamed for death!"
