The smoke rises and the war begins.
During the day, Wolf Smoke is a faster communication method than Feather, and is suitable for almost all terrains. In addition, the Tianfeng Plain is now densely packed with military fortresses. When a wolf smoke rises, it will immediately be followed by the wolf smoke. Generally speaking, as far as the scope of Tianfeng Plain is concerned, it only takes an hour for the whole territory to know if any place is attacked.
When Li Youjun and his senior brother arrived at the big tent of the military fort, they saw the general of the military fort looking at the sign on the sand table in the tent with a livid face.
Sand table deduction may seem simple, but it contains all the strategic knowledge of military strategists. Ordinary people cannot play it and cannot master it.
But there is still no threshold for simply distinguishing the logo on the sand table. Li Youjun already knew what color logo represented Hong Chao and what color represented Yunyan. Now at a glance, I found that on the west side of the sand table, under the Bodao Ridge extending from the Pengshan Mountains, a red logo representing the Yunyan army appeared extremely abruptly!
And using this sign as the starting point, a red arrow also directly reaches a military fort on the west side that was originally planned to be on the second or even third layer of defense line.
"Have you all seen the smoke? The soldiers on the lookout said that they were coming from the west front line. Although they haven't received the exact news from Feiyu, they can roughly judge that the accident happened at the "Nine Forts on the Ridge" on the third line to the west. Either the "Ten Forts on the Ridge" are all military forts set up near Bodaoling in the west to prevent Yunyan from cutting over.
However, there was no news of enemy contact or enemy approach from the second-line and first-line forts in front of the ridge.
In other words, this attack directly crossed all our defense lines on Tianfeng Plain! "
The guard general did not look back, but expressed his judgment with confusion and shock in his words to all the lieutenants and leaders of Qi practitioners who had already heard the sound of the trumpet and hurried to the big tent. And his tone was firm, and he even dared to give a fairly accurate result before the exact news came.
This is not good news. It can even be called extremely bad news.
When everyone was working hard to perform the exploits of the Black Tiger General of Pengshan Pass in the Tianfeng Plain and give Yun Yan's barbarians a hard blow, there was no sound from the front, but there was a fire from the side and the rear. Wolf smoke. Then he said that all the previous arrangements were in the wrong direction. The attack was not from the front but from the west side of Bodaoling that no one had thought of in advance!
This is equivalent to directly skipping nearly half of the defense arrangements on the Tianfeng Plain, and even involving most of the Hong Dynasty's troops.
However, before the people below could speak, the guard with his hands on the edge of the sand table and his sharp eyes filled with blood continued: "The difficulty now is not to switch from frontal defense to side defense. What is difficult is that the frontal defense dare not act rashly!"
Li Youjun was stunned by these words, and then looked at the sand table. Compared with the solitary red sign on the west side, the front of Tianfeng Plain was a densely populated area.
In other words, not only was there an unexpected surprise attack from the side, but the pressure from the front has not diminished at all. This makes it difficult to gather all the forces on the west side to annihilate Yunyan's cavalry. Troops can only be mobilized from the rear. At this time, the rear did not invest as much force as the first and second lines of defense. In other words, the rear is empty!
"From now on, everyone in the military fort is on standby. The cavalry in the fort are released to roam for fifteen miles day and night, in rotation. At the same time, the Qi practitioners on the wall must also increase their patrols, from the previous one team to two teams. One change.
Folks, it's not just the front we need to be prepared for now. And based on the location of our Heba Bingbao, it is very likely that we will be transferred to participate in the garrison on the west side or even the encirclement and annihilation campaign.
Get ready! "
After a simple explanation, the three people in the big tent, including Brother Li Youjun, couldn't help but feel nervous. Understand that this is bad news that no one expected. It even reminded them of the previous scene on Pengshan City's defense line. Just like now, Hong Chao's defense line was being torn apart by Yun Yan. Will the result be as messed up as the Pengshan City defense line?
"The three of you from Yunzong, please stay."
Li Youjun and the other three stopped and walked up to the guard.
"What orders do you have, General?"
"The three of them are strong men of the Yun Sect, and their methods are not comparable to those of casual cultivators outside. I think the three of them should also know some magic circle methods, right? Can they arrange some around the fort and also on the city wall? Really? But the current situation is too slippery. I am worried that the three of them may be transferred to the west side, so I would like to ask the three of them to leave more means on the Heba side."
As the guard said this, he bowed his hands and thanked him in advance.
What else can the three brothers, Li Youjun and Li Youjun say? I can only nod in agreement. It means that some warning arrays and sporadic defensive arrays can be arranged. But it needs to be driven by regular injection of spiritual energy or spiritual stones. I don't know if it will have much effect on Yunyan's barbarians.
After leaving the big tent, Li Youjun followed the two senior brothers and started to set up the magic circle, while he couldn't help but repeat in his mind what the guard said and the logo on the sand table in the big tent. These things kept colliding and splitting in his mind, and there seemed to be something very important underneath these messages.
Just like when Li Youjun was planning to deduce the ghost cultivator in the sect who had disappeared. He couldn't restrain himself from pondering this talent at this moment.
"Junior Brother Li, you are distracted again."
"Senior Brother Liu, I'm sorry, I think maybe Yunyan's purpose is not in Tianfeng Plain." Li Youjun was called out of his thoughts and saw the impatience on the faces of the two senior brothers, but he did not stop thinking in his mind. .
"Junior brother, what on earth are you talking about?"
Li Youjun did not explain much, but simply drew on the ground. In just a few strokes, he traced the general terrain of Bodaoling on the sand table and the nine and ten forts beside the ridge. When his two senior brothers saw this, he had to watch patiently and listen to what Li Youjun was going to say next.
"Brother, look, here are the nine and ten forts on the edge of the ridge. They are just stuck at the end corner of Bodao Ridge. After crossing them, the steepness of Bodao Ridge will increase. In other words, Yun It is impossible for Yan Manzi to continue to advance through Bodaoling. This may be the reason why they suddenly came down to attack the military fortress beside the ridge.
Senior brother, don't worry, just listen to me, you guys, look here! "Li Youjun said as he drew a line northward along the line connecting the Nine and Ten Forts on the edge of the ridge and did not stop until a thick line was drawn in advance.
"After taking down the Ninth and Tenth Forts on the edge of the ridge, you can go directly north to here."
"Is this the Long River? The river is a hundred feet wide, and the water is deep and fast. Except for a few Qi practitioners and ordinary barbarians, it is impossible for ordinary barbarians to survive. The boats on the riverside have long been cleared."
"Senior brother, what if the barbarian's goal is not to cross the river directly to the north?"
"Um?"
Li Youjun continued to draw another diagonal line to the northeast along the Yangtze River on the ground, and continued: "They walked northeast along the river and directly bypassed the Tianfeng Plain, which was already solid and clear. After that, they only needed to find a suitable land and water The location of the interaction can then turn west, approaching the capital of Shuning! In this way, not only can they avoid all our arrangements, but they can also use battles to maximize their field advantage!"
"hiss!"
Although Li Youjun's two senior brothers did not understand military strategy, they were knowledgeable. Looking at the simple diagrams drawn by Li Youjun on the ground, they also recalled the sand table in the big tent. After a while, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
