My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 634 - 211 Confrontation_4
Thunderbolt words.
Made everyone awaken suddenly.
"Commander!"
Tong Xiaochu suddenly clenched his fist and shouted loudly, "Issue the order!"
"Tong Xiaochu, heed the order!"
Chen Sansi started to draw up the troops and arrange the formation.
"I order you to lead forty thousand Supervision Standard Army soldiery, together with Teng Le, to preside over the Left Army, arrange the 'Eighteen Ming Thunder Rolling Formation', but once the Central Army engages, feint an attack on the enemy's Right Army, and do not engage in prolonged combat!"
"This subordinate accepts the command!"
"Wang Zhi, Chu Shixiong, heed the order, I command you two to lead ninety thousand Supervision Army soldiery and ten thousand from the Hongze Camp, along with Wei Xuan, Song Guizhi, Qu Yuanxiang and others to preside over the Right Army, arrange the 'Thousand-Faced Search and Kill Chaos Formation', but once the Central Army engages, do everything to break through the enemy's Left Army, if you succeed, do not linger nor look back, push all the way to Gravel River and cut off their retreat and supply route!"
"We heed the order!"
"Wang Jun, heed the order! I command you to join me in leading thirty thousand Supervision Standard Army and five thousand from the Hongze Camp to preside over the Central Army, arrange the 'Jiuxiao Heavenly Soldiers Subduing Demon Formation', and after the stand-off begins, muster morale by beating the drums, and when the enemy charges, fight to the death!"
"I understand."
Wang Jun replied.
"Hold on!"
Just after completing the deployment, Tong Xiaochu, looking at the map, suddenly sensed something amiss and spoke up, "Chen Dushi, I am somewhat confused.
"According to the Supervisor's deployment, we've essentially concentrated all of our main forces in the Right Army.
"But...
"The position of the Central Army Tent is already exposed.
"After the battle begins tomorrow, Han Xiang will definitely concentrate the main force of West Qi directly towards the Central Army.
"Under such circumstances, without sufficient soldiery by your side, Lord Governor, isn't that dangerous?"
"Indeed."
Wang Zhi smacked his forehead, "Arranging it this way is like placing a piece of flesh before a wolf starved for several days, isn't it too risky?"
"You are right, I want their main force to come and attack my Central Army! While our main force attacks their Left Army!"
Chen Sansi looked down at the sand table, "Fishing requires bait, attracting beasts requires flesh, only by concentrating their main force at one point will the other areas be relatively weakened.
"I!
"Personally, will be the bait, the blood meal!
"After the battle begins.
"Don't worry about the outcome of the Central Army, just charge and attack the enemy, once you break through their Left Army, head to Gravel River, West Qi's three hundred thousand strong army will have no way to retreat, trapped like turtles in a jar!"
The Commander of the three armies.
Personally serving as bait!
This deployment.
Somewhat resembles the horse-racing strategies of Tian Ji.
Only...
Chen Sansi used his life as a cover, creating the illusion of a "prime horse," only for the enemy to find that the real prime horse had gone after their mediocre horse after they charged forward.
When the generals understood the intention, they felt as if a window suddenly opened, filled with fervent and intense war intent!
The Commander of the three armies.
Was using his life to create a chance of victory for them.
What reason do they have not to fight with a resolve to win or die?!
"All of you must remember my arrangement, wait until dawn and just before the battle, quickly take your places without prematurely exposing yourselves,"
Chen Sansi waved his hand, "All of you, go now."
"Yes!"
All the generals left with their orders.
Wang Jun also rode his sword into the night sky, making a final inspection.
Inside the commander's tent.
Only Chen Sansi and Wang Zhi remained.
"Junior Brother."
Wang Zhi, sensing something amiss with the white robe that had not moved in front of the sand table for a long time, stepped forward and asked, "Give it to me straight, what are our chances of winning this battle?"
"Invincible."
Chen Sansi uttered just two words.
"Invincible."
Wang Zhi narrowed his eyes, "Assure invincibility, which means we may not necessarily win?"
Even he, his junior brother, had given priority to this strategy and then did not hesitate to use himself as bait, and still victory was not assured?
It can be said.
Ever since Chen Sansi joined the military.
Wang Zhi had not missed any battle, but it was the first time he saw someone who could fight his junior brother to such a fever pitch, so difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.
Of course.
One hundred seventy thousand against three hundred fifty thousand.
Being able to retreat entirely after a head-on confrontation, from a certain perspective, was already a "great victory."
If someone else were commanding.
Such as Tong Xiaochu continuing to lead, it would basically end in the total annihilation of the army.
...
In the West Qi Camp.
"Immortal Master, Chen Sansi's position has been confirmed,"
Zhong Wuxin reported, "After the battle starts tomorrow, we can charge directly at his Central Army Tent!"
Several hundred thousand soldiers.
Lined up side by side, stretching for tens of miles, and had it not been for an inside source, the location of the Central Army would indeed be elusive.
"This smooth?"
Han Xiang sat in front of a chessboard as usual, "The White Robe had no suspicions?"
"None."
Zhong Wuxin affirmed, "Ma Zhen's life is in the hands of the Shengyun Sect, how could they suspect that this old man is willing to give up even his life. The only concern... should be the peculiar formations."
"Eighteen Ming Thunder Rolling Formation, Jiuxiao Heavenly Soldiers Subduing Demon Formation..."
Han Xiang spoke and a booklet appeared in his hand.
Zhong Wuxin took it with both hands, flipped through it, and expressed astonishment, "Immortal Master, you managed to get these formations?"
"What's so difficult about that?"
Han Xiang said calmly, "These formations were made public two years ago by the Old Emperor of Sheng Country, almost any city-guarding General could obtain them, the problem is that so far, these formations only show true phenomena when used by Chen Sansi; if others use them, although they are still top-notch formations, they wouldn't have the power to turn the tide of the battle.
"From what I've observed.
"Not even the White Robe can deploy these phenomena at will; they either require the right combination of time, location, and harmony with the people, or the assistance of a special mystical power."
