"Marshal, the general thinks that the news of Feng Army's defeat will soon spread to all parts of Feng Kingdom. By then, several armies in Feng Kingdom will know about it. People will be panic-stricken by then, and they will not dare to resist our army alone. If our army can rest for a few days and wait until its morale stabilizes before sending out troops, our army will definitely be able to defeat the Feng Army as General Zhang said." Not living up to Lan Wu's slightly expectant eyes, Li Qiyue directly expressed his opinion .
Up to now, the opinions expressed by the several generals were not much different. None of them had any plans to fight urgently. They did not stop at Li Xingyue. Lan Wu's eyes had already stopped at Lan Xu.
"The Marshal must be rushing to send troops for a reason. Although I, Lan Xu, don't know what the Marshal is planning, I will definitely not disobey the Marshal's military orders." After all, he is a kind and honest person. Lan Xu speaks simply and honestly. If he is simple Considering his relationship with Lan Wu, his words will undoubtedly arouse resentment from others.
Fortunately, because of Lan Wu's wisdom, everyone thought there was nothing wrong with Lan Xu's statement. When some generals slowly accepted Lan Xu's statement, Lan Wu unexpectedly nodded to Lan Xu, and then asked Bu Ying's The three generals looked at it.
"Marshal, our army has been on the road for days. The attack on Languan is already a desperate battle. Moreover, because of the attack on the city, our army has experienced a hard battle. Although the morale of the army is very high now, many soldiers are a little tired and are not suitable to continue. Therefore, we ask the marshal to consider carefully," Yuan Shaocheng, one of the three chief generals of the infantry camp, said. He also wanted Lan Wu to withdraw the military order.
"General Yuan's words are wrong. It is urgent to attack the city, but General Yuan, don't forget that we won a great victory in the end. If the marshal listened to your opinion and chose to withdraw his troops, I am afraid that more soldiers will die in Languan. Therefore, I feel that we should abide by the marshal's decision." The person who answered was Fang Quyin, the commander of the Arrow Camp, who directly overturned the opinions of all the previous generals who were unwilling to rush into battle.
As Fang Quyin said, Languan's victory was entirely due to Lan Wu's decision-making. Lan Wu's ability to control the battle situation was obvious to everyone. Considering this, although others felt that Fang Quyin's statement gave them a It felt like they were following too blindly, but they couldn't think that what Fang Quyin said was wrong.
For a moment, those generals who originally expressed their unwillingness to fight urgently put aside their original ideas and began to reconsider the reasons why Lan Wu wanted to fight urgently. As a result, what Lan Xu just said directly became the starting point for their consideration of the problem. More and more generals felt that Lan Wu's decision to fight would not be as simple as they thought.
"What General Lan said is exactly what he said. I think the marshal must have a deep meaning in rushing into Pofeng City. No matter how much you object, I agree to send troops as soon as possible." Not long after, Li Qiyue, the commander of the cavalry camp who had expressed his opinion before, said A change of mind.
"It is not difficult to send troops, but if we are not sure of victory, what is the use of rushing to send troops? It's not that I don't trust the marshal's ability, it's just that Zhang really feels that General Fang's views are a bit extreme," said another person from Arrow Camp. The commander-in-chief, Zhang Ruoxing, thought about it and finally did not change his previous view.
The actual situation of the army is now there. The soldiers' uniforms cannot be unified. Some soldiers even took off the shoes they were wearing from Feng Jun's corpse. Of course, the more important thing is that the soldiers have different morale. Zhang Ruoxing does not want to have something happen within the army at a critical moment. What an unexpected situation.
During the previous siege of Fengjun, the performance of those Fengjun was the best example. Some Fengjun rose up to resist, and some fled in confusion. The inconsistent morale of the soldiers led to the disorganization of the Fengjun. Many Fengjun died in the chaos. Now Some of his own soldiers were unwilling to fight in a hurry, so he naturally did not want to lead soldiers who were unwilling to fight.
Of course, no matter how Zhang Ruoxing insists on his opinion, many generals are already considering the feasibility of the main battle. Thinking of the situation of the Feng Army that Lan Wu specially asked to explain just now, someone has already looked at a map placed on the table.
There are several clearly marked places on the map, which are the current locations of several Feng Kingdom armies. Judging from those marks, there are a total of four Feng Kingdom armies marching towards Po Feng City from different directions. Some are far away. Languan is far away, and some are closer.
Zhang Yuangang said before that their reinforcements would arrive within three days, but now it seems that it is a complete bluff. It is impossible for the Feng Army's reinforcements to arrive at Lancheng in a short time. But then again, if it weren't for Lan Wu that day, If they persist in attacking the city, it will indeed be difficult for the Star Army to take down Languan after withdrawing their troops.
While observing the location of several Feng troops, he was glad that yesterday they followed Lan Wu's instructions and defeated the Feng army. Now the situation of the Star Army is optimistic. The more he looks at the generals, the happier they are, and some generals are still See something else.
Lan Wu spread the map on the table. He couldn't just let them observe the location of the Feng Army. Some generals thought that Lan Wu's move must have other intentions, so the generals' thoughts began to fly again.
"Those Feng troops may not know that Languan Pass has been breached by our army. If our army can ambush them halfway, they will definitely be able to catch them off guard. Could it be that the Marshal asked us to send troops in advance just to ambush Feng Jun halfway," something like Guessing Lan Wu's intention, the leader of the Arrow Camp, Fang Quyin, expressed his guess with confidence.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The other generals in the hall instantly understood Lan Wu's intention to defeat Feng Jun one by one. Even Zhang Ruoxing, who had not changed his mind just now, had his eyes flickering and stared at the words in disbelief. Fangquyin.
If they can defeat the Feng armies one by one before they gather together, it will be a clever plan for them. Now just thinking about the brilliance of this plan, some generals' eyes showed surprise, but when they thought about it, While he was overwhelmed with surprise, Lan Wu's expression did not change much. Instead, there was still a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
In Lan Wu's view, Fang Quyin's statement just now was not wrong, but it was far from his psychological expectations. He hoped that someone could give a truly accurate inference.
While Lan Wu continued to wait for someone to give his opinion, Lan Ze hesitated to speak, because Lan Wu had already explained to him some strategies for attacking Feng State in advance.
Lan Ze has no doubts about Lan Wu's decision. Sending troops as soon as possible is the best way to be just in case and to ensure that the Star Army captures Feng Kingdom as soon as possible. However, Lan Wu has not yet told the reason for sending troops, just as a bystander. Or, he could think that Lan Wu's move was to show off to those generals.
"I do have the plan to defeat the Feng Army one by one. I wonder how the generals think we can do it well?" It was half an hour before the meeting started, but the generals failed to give any substantive suggestions. Lan, who had been waiting for a long time, Wu had to give them some hints, otherwise the generals would be left to make random guesses, and they didn't know how long it would take before they could get down to business.
Lan Wu's affirmation made the generals realize that Lan Wu really planned to ambush Feng Jun. They all couldn't help but admire Lan Wu's foresight. Next, they continued to think in the direction of ambush Feng Jun.
In fact, according to everyone's understanding of Lan Wu, some generals have guessed that Lan Wu may have made a plan to ambush the enemy. Therefore, they can imagine that Lan Wu wants to seek their opinions before finalizing the plan in order to formulate a more Zhou Xiang plan. Plan, to put it simply, Lan Wu is testing their abilities at the moment.
It's a pity that from Lan Wu's perspective, the generals' ideas are very ambiguous. Lan Wu is indeed seeking their opinions, but he hopes that those generals can give direct combat strategies, because the next battle with several Feng armies During the battle, it was impossible for him to personally command the battle, and the specific combat matters would be left to the generals below. He wanted to take this opportunity to see and cultivate the personal abilities of his subordinates.
On the other hand, if he has to personally manage all the affairs of the army, how will he have time to think about better battle plans? As a commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he has too many things to deal with. If his subordinates can do their best for It would be of great benefit to him to share some of the pressure.
Moreover, in the future, the Star Kingdom may not only have two or three armies, but more armies fighting in different places. How can he command so many armies at the same time? Therefore, there is another purpose of soliciting the opinions of the generals. Then It was because he wanted to take this opportunity to observe whether there were generals in the army who were capable of assuming the position of commander.
Lan Xu and Lan Wu didn't have much hope. Now that the Star Army had many soldiers and generals, he had a lot of room for choice.
"Marshal, I wonder how long it will take for the Phoenix Army closest to Lancheng to arrive at Lancheng?"
"At least three days."
"Before entering the city, will the Feng Army receive news of the fall of Lan City in advance?" Three days is not a short time. According to what other generals said about Lan City at the beginning, the cavalry commander Li Qiyue knew that the Feng Army was defeated. The news has spread in Lan City, and many civilians are fleeing nearby. Those fleeing may bring the news to the Feng Army. If the Feng Army knows that Lan City has been lost, then they can successfully ambush the Feng Army. may be greatly reduced.
"General Li's worry is not unreasonable. What should we do if those Fengjun troops don't come to Languan after receiving the news?" Immediately afterwards, Li Jiannan, the commander of the infantry battalion who answered the conversation, brought all the questions to the point. Although they were in the form of inquiries, Methods were proposed, but he always mentioned a situation that Lan Wu needed all the generals to know.
