Now that the enemy troops have begun to gather, it is conservatively estimated that this war will definitely break out within three days. All the front lines, from the generals to the sergeants, are in a state of dejected tension.
In the face of Sean's arrival, it was even more considered to be the most foolish decision of the current emperor.
"General Zheng, tell me, the emperor has sent such a child here and given him such great power. Isn't this just adding to the trouble? There is already a lot of resentment in the military camp. How can we fight this battle?"
"Isn't that right? We have long been prepared to sacrifice our lives for our country. If they don't come, we will fight to the death. But now that they have come, the officers and soldiers of the three armies feel that the emperor treats us like child's play."
"Old General Zheng, you know much better about leading troops than I do. Once morale drops, the battle will be impossible to fight."
Complaints abound!
"General He, General Huang, actually everyone understands that this war cannot be reversed by just someone sent by the emperor."
General Zheng Huaiguo also frowned deeply. Hearing this, he could only sigh and said: "As generals, we are expected to die in service. We can only fight with all our strength and fulfill our destiny."
"Generals, are you interrupting your conversation?" Outside the camp, Xiao En and Wei Shaoqing were slowly walking in. They smiled, shrugged their shoulders, and nodded gently to everyone.
Looking at everyone with disappointed eyes, Sean smiled and said: "What's wrong, everyone, is it that my image has disappointed you, do you think that I am just a kid here to play?"
Zheng Huaiguo and other generals smiled awkwardly when they heard this, but the joking in their eyes was sincere...
A little brat like you is not here to play, so what else can you do?
Seeing their appearance, Sean shrugged indifferently, but he admired General Zheng Huaiguo for not flinching in the face of powerful enemies, and his military capabilities were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
So he asked, "General Zheng, if you were the enemy commander, how would you fight this battle?"
"How dare you, a little kid, dare to talk about military affairs? There is no place for you to talk here."
As soon as Sean finished speaking, a tough-looking man at the table stood up and shouted loudly.
"Haier, please don't be rude. Didn't you see that the third prince is also here?" General Zheng Huaiguo shouted loudly at the tough man. The implication was that he was just selling the third prince's favor.
"Old General, please answer the question, kid." Sean smiled and asked respectfully.
Due to Sean's special status and the affection of the third prince, although General Zheng Huaiguo did not want to pay attention, he still suppressed his unhappiness and said: "Of course, we must concentrate our superior forces and launch a fierce attack on the three fortresses in three groups at the same time. , making each fortress overwhelmed."
"When they are almost exhausted, they will put two million rebel troops into the battlefield, select fortresses with weak defenses to attack, and then capture them in one fell swoop. The rest will naturally collapse without attack."
Correct, if Xiaon was replaced as the commander of the enemy army, this battle would be fought in this way.
Victory is in sight, and when the time comes, the rebels will not be able to do anything even if they don't think of it.
Sean continued to ask: "I wonder if General Zheng's current combat deployment can defend the opponent's offensive. If it can be defended, how many days can it be defended?"
Being questioned by a junior, General Zheng's old face seemed to be a bit unbearable. But the third prince was by his side, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart and said truthfully: "In three days, at most three days, the fortress will be captured. In less than five days, the fortress will be captured." God, all three fortresses will fall into the hands of the enemy."
"Since you know you can't defend it, why are you still fighting like this?!" Sean ignored the change in General Zheng's face and continued to ask.
At this moment, even the many generals at the conference table looked at Sean with anger in their eyes.
When General Zheng Huaiguo heard this, his face turned frosty, he stood up angrily, raised his fists in the air, and said loudly: "We kill the enemy to serve the country, and do not avoid life and death. How can we retreat in the face of battle? If this trip is unreasonable, is it possible that we are a special envoy?" Your Majesty, there may be a better way."
Sean said calmly: "I don't just have a solution, I'm afraid General Zheng also has one. Maybe my solution is General Zheng's solution."
Sean's words directly touched the heart of General Zheng. He was slightly shocked. He didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of him anymore. He quickly screened out everyone in the account, leaving only himself, Sean and Wei Shaoqing. people.
The current military deployment is the most conservative and safest combat plan. At least if they lose, they will not bear any responsibility. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and failure is understandable. No one dares to convict.
The troops are in danger, so give it a try. If you succeed, you can save the defeat. However, if you fail, it will not only speed up the defeat of the whole line, but also have to bear the heavy responsibility of poor command. It is not that General Zheng doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare.
Sean looked at Zheng Huaiguo and said with a smile: "I choose the middle fortress. I don't know how many troops General Zheng needs to hold the other two fortresses for a day."
"this……"
General Zheng Huaiguo pondered for a moment. Although he was old, he still had ambitions, and with the third prince here, he was not the only one to bear the responsibility. If he didn't give up and fight hard, it would be the same as waiting for death.
After a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Each fortress will be filled with 200,000 yuan and supplied with 100,000 soldiers, a total of 600,000. How about it, Mr. Special Envoy?"
After all, the battle losses on the first day will not be too great, and the supply of 100,000 soldiers can barely support it.
"Okay, feel free, it's only 600,000. Don't worry, General Zheng. As soon as the middle fortress is stabilized, I will immediately send troops to support the two fortresses, General Zheng."
After Sean finished speaking, he settled the matter without any delay.
General Zheng Huaiguo still said worriedly: "But there are still two million rebels. How will the special envoy prepare to deal with them?"
Sean squinted his eyes and looked at Wei Shaoqing, still calmly saying: "Now we have to ask the Third Prince to go there in person."
It was a matter of life and death for the dynasty, and Wei Shaoqing was not allowed to flinch at all. He said with a firm expression: "Little brother, please speak out. What should be done? Just say it. I, Wei Shaoqing, don't even have the courage to fight."
Sean pointed at the map and said: "This is a cliff canyon with only two paths. The terrain is dangerous. One man is in charge. The three princes only need to put 50,000 troops each to ensure that everything is safe."
"As long as you bring tens of thousands of troops to provoke you tomorrow, the person Nanjun Wang and the Second Prince want most is you. They will definitely lead the rebels to pursue you with all their strength. I will arrange three wooden and rolling rocks along the way to delay the rebels' pursuit. , you just need to lure the rebels here."
Sean continued: "All the rebels are only led by a group of generals such as Nanjun Wang and the Second Prince. Ordinary soldiers may not have the heart to rebel. Their relatives and friends are all in the dynasty and are homesick. "
"At that time, you only need to bring a group of people who know something about the rebels to speak to them, and use family affection, friendship, and love for their homeland to impress them. The rebels will be disheartened, and maybe they will gain something else."
As soon as Xiao En finished speaking, Old General Zheng Huaiguo and Wei Shaoqing both cheered up, as if they saw the hope of victory in this war.
Unexpectedly, even he, a veteran general who had been in the military camp for many years and was accustomed to fighting, did not see the problem, but now this sixteen-year-old boy who came to the military camp for the first time could see it so clearly.
I am even more full of expectations and confidence in Sean's plan.
"Sir Special Envoy, the officers and soldiers of the three armies value force. If the power is not enough to convince the people, and military orders cannot be implemented properly, I'm afraid..."
There is still an important problem at hand. If it cannot be solved, this plan will not be implemented, General Zheng Huaiguo said worriedly.
Xiao En smiled slightly, knowing what General Zheng was worried about, and said: "Old General Zheng, there is no need to worry. All you need to do is summon the entire army and directly announce the military order. Leave the rest to me."
"What the hell is going on! A little brat is commanding us, did I hear you right?"
"Damn it, if I had known about this battle I wouldn't have fought. There is already no hope. Let a kid who doesn't understand anything command us again. Isn't this just a joke?"
The soldiers of the three armies gathered together, and after hearing the military order read out by General Zheng, the already restless soldiers suddenly became confused, and even doubted whether they had heard it wrong.
A strong man with an iron beard stood up and said loudly: "General Zheng, this is a march and a battle. It involves real swords and guns. It is not an ordinary child's play. You let such a child lead us. Although I, Xie Hu, am not afraid. I want to die, but I don’t want to die in an unknown way.”
"I, Wang Chun, am the same. When I was fighting and killing people, a boy like you was still peeing his pants. If he were to take command, you would kill me in this battle and I would never fight again."
"..."
More than a dozen generals walked out one after another, all with voices of opposition.
Many generals are strong men at the fifth to sixth level of the Refining Realm, and they are filled with the iron-blooded ferocity of soldiers. Naturally, they will not be convinced by a young man who is only at the sixth level of the Juyuan Realm.
He even made no secret of his disdain.
General Zheng had already expected this, so he could only look at Sean helplessly.
Sean smiled when he saw this. This reaction was normal and completely expected, and he didn't mind showing his hand to convince everyone. Otherwise, if the military orders were not implemented uniformly, the consequences would be ten thousand times more powerful than the enemy.
Sean glanced around and said in a deep voice: "I want to know who else is unconvinced. Please stand up. The war is about to begin. I don't want to hear different voices again in the future."
There are countless people who are dissatisfied, but only these dozens of people dare to challenge the military power.
The soldiers tied ten thick piles together, buried half of them deep in the ground, and covered the piles with a thick layer of armor.
This kind of stake is the wooden stake that soldiers usually use for training. It is as hard as iron. Even if ordinary soldiers bombard it with weapons, it may not cause much damage.
"If I say I can kill you with one punch, maybe you won't believe it, but if I really kill you, I might as well leave you to fight on the battlefield tomorrow."
Sean pointed to the bunch of piles and said to Xie Hu and other thorn-headed generals, "It's just that I believe your bodies are not strong enough to be stronger than the bunch of piles in front of you, right?"
Xie Hu said loudly: "Okay, if you can break this bunch of piles, I, Xie Hu, will be the first to obey you."
