Chapter 24: The Military Conference to Destroy the Enemy Army (Part 2)

"Brother, the five thousand team captains have arrived." Alan said to Su Cheng who was sitting on the chair.

"Yeah." Su Cheng nodded slightly.

Raising his head, the five thousand captains of the 5000 Crusade Army were already standing in front of him.

There was a long table between Su Cheng and the five captains of the thousand-man team. On the long table was an extremely detailed map.

And Alan and Kai Luoer stood behind Su Cheng.

"I'm really sorry for calling the five of you here suddenly for an emergency meeting." Su Cheng greeted for a while, and then continued, "Now I'm going to tell you the strategy to defeat the 30,000 rebel army. I hope you can listen carefully."

"what?"

The five thousand captains all looked shocked.

"Using 5,000 troops...a strategy to defeat 30,000 troops...?" One of the red-haired captains asked in an uncertain tone.

"Yes, the strategy to defeat 30,000 enemy troops." Su Cheng looked calm, and looked up at the captain who asked the question just now.

The five captains swallowed involuntarily at the same time, and they suddenly felt that the coach in front of them suddenly changed.

The whole person seems to have become calmer, sitting there like a rock, exuding a strange aura from the whole person, wrapped in this aura, Su Cheng now has an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura. temperament.

Looking at Su Cheng who suddenly seemed to be a different person, the five captains felt more at ease now for some reason.

The five of them followed Su Cheng to quell this rebellion with the mentality of never returning.

After all, after learning that his coach is a person who has never led a soldier, anyone will feel guilty and give up any hope for this battle.

"Commander." Another captain asked, "For the military meeting, don't we need to let the two knights leave first?"

He was referring to Alan and Deng Jiaer.

Alan and Deng Jiaer's current identities are Su Cheng's knight retinues, and knight retinues can only do thankless and not very important tasks on the battlefield, so when holding military meetings, they often Push away the knight retinue.

"No need." Su Cheng said, "Both of them are very important, one of them will be an important person in our battle and will serve as the cavalry forward, while the other one, she and I have come up with the same strategy , so it’s okay if she stays there too.”

Su Cheng moved his gaze, scanning the five captains of the thousand-man team in front of him one by one.

"Anyone else have questions?"

There was silence.

"That seems to be no problem, that's good."

Su Cheng stood up and said loudly: "Then, the military meeting to defeat the rebel army will begin now!"

"Oh!" the five thousand captains shouted in unison.

Su Cheng pointed to the three rebels on the map.

"Our army has only 5,000 people, while the enemy army has 30,000 people, which is 6 times our number. The difference in strength between our two sides is 1 to 6, and the difference in strength is quite huge."

As soon as Su Cheng's words fell, the five captains of the thousand-man team nodded solemnly.

"However," Su Cheng changed the subject, "the difference in strength between our two sides is not actually calculated in this way. The difference in strength between us and the enemy is not as big as 1:6."

"It can't be counted like that?" The red-haired captain of the thousand-man team asked suspiciously, "Boss, what does this mean?"

"Because the enemy has dispersed its own forces." Su Cheng poked the map, "The rebel army split 30,000 troops into three groups, only 15,000, 10,000, and 5,000."

"Furthermore, the area where they are walking is complex in terrain, and their three armies are too far apart, making it difficult to communicate and provide assistance to each other. In this case,

It gave us the opportunity to defeat them one by one, so I decided to adopt the strategy of "concentrate our forces and defeat them one by one" and fight all the way! In this case, our military strength will not be 1:6, but will become 1:3, 1:2, and 1:1. "

"But, General. Even so, the enemy forces in each route are still more or equal to ours."

"That's right, so we are going to launch a surprise attack and catch them by surprise," Su Cheng continued, "The enemy army has defeated three troops that came to encircle and suppress in a row in the past one and a half months, and pride must have grown in their hearts Well, the last time two Xingui knights commanded 18,000 troops and were defeated by them. This time, a man who is not only a knight, but even a soldier came and commanded 5,000 troops to encircle them. Their command will be even more proud. It certainly did not occur to them that we were one-sixth as many as they were, and had the courage to strike and surprise them."

"The enemy army is nothing more than a group of peasant rebels. The level of training and organization is not high. If the leader dies, the entire army will collapse immediately. Therefore, we must implement beheading tactics and surprise the leader of each enemy army."

Su Cheng reached out and poked the map.

"Not only that, their current soldiers must be very tired, and the three leaders of their rebel army may not be very harmonious now. This is more suitable for us to raid them and defeat them one by one."

"Huh? Commander, how do you know that the enemy soldiers are exhausted?"

"I don't know if the five captains have noticed the marching speed of the enemy's 3rd Army?"

"March speed?"

"Yes." Su Cheng nodded, "Their marching speed is too fast. When there are no pursuers and no special circumstances, such a marching speed is too abnormal. Although this speed is fast, it is painful. Soldiers. The speed of their three armies has been so fast these days, and their soldiers must be very tired, which can greatly reduce the disadvantage of our army's small number of troops."

"There is another characteristic of their three-way army, that is, they seem to be competing, and one is faster than the other. After thinking about it, the only possibility is that their three leaders are fighting for merit. Take Cordoba before the other two armies."

"This is my strategic plan," Su Cheng looked at the five thousand captains, "Do you have any questions or anything to add?"

The five captains of the thousand-man team, you look at me, I look at you, no one speaks, and then all five look at Su Cheng with a look of conviction.

"General," one of them said, "Although this battle plan sounds risky, I feel that I have a good chance of winning!"

"Since there are no doubts, I will start announcing specific operational details and tasks."

Su Cheng suddenly pointed to the location marked on the map where Anton's Central Route Army was located.

"Let's destroy Anton's 15,000 first. According to the speed of our army and the speed of the enemy, the battle time will be the day after tomorrow! And the location—"

The index finger that arrived on the map followed Anton's marching route and arrived at a valley.

"It's right here. Surprise the main force of the rebel army in this valley - the Anton Army!"
