After Ni Liang had the battle concept, although His Majesty had given him the right of expediency, it was the first time for him to plan such a big action, so he still had no bottom in his heart, so he reported his plan to the emperor in as much detail as possible, hoping to help him check the gates. But after it was submitted, His Majesty didn't say much, only approved four words - just do it if you want to!

After Ni Liang received the reply, he was moved and nervous at the same time. I am touched that His Majesty has always trusted himself, and has not made any interference, leaving him to play and decide; Nervous that he used to participate in the war as a specific executor, rather than as a decider of the war, and he knew that there was a huge difference between the two. As an executor, he only needs to do it step by step according to the specified battle plan, but a decider needs to do more, not only to be responsible for the victory or defeat, but also to take into account the overall situation of the battle and all the details involved in the operation, which makes him have a lot of pressure.

At the moment, Ni Liang feels that he has done a good job, at least there are no major mistakes.

Because considering that this battle required continuous combat and high requirements for the combat effectiveness and mobility of the troops, Ni Liang first persuaded Liu Zhixue to insist that the imperial guards complete the combat mission. Of course, this is not to say that the combat effectiveness of the Second Army is weaker than that of the Imperial Protectors, but that the task of the remaining troops is equally arduous, and they must launch an attack at the right time to contain the enemy forces in Fuli after the reinforcements begin, so that they do not dare to act rashly; At the same time, after the reinforcements complete the task, they must complete the important task of annihilating the enemy of Fuli and conquering the city as the main force.

Ni Liang has been by His Majesty's side for many years, has participated in the planning of previous battles and the formulation of battle plans, and knows that as a decider, he must not only have a view of the overall situation, but also understand the truth that details determine success or failure. Therefore, at the beginning of the formation of the battle concept, he carried out preliminary reconnaissance work, and ordered his subordinates to conduct a detailed study of the enemy's routes, marching speeds, and road conditions. He did not hesitate to take advantage of his good relationship with the bureau to collect a lot of information from them, so that he had a relatively detailed grasp of the number, movement, preparations, and departure time of the enemy's reinforcements in a short period of time.

Because this battle is that the imperial front protector wants to complete two reinforcement missions independently with one enemy and two, it will have to fight on two battlefields, and a large army must be interspersed behind the enemy to set up an ambush. In this case, it is necessary for all units not only to cooperate closely in their actions, but also to act quickly and to grasp the opportunity to enter the battlefield. At the same time, there are many details to be considered, such as how to ensure the supply of food, grass and ammunition, how to conceal the march in the plain area, how to not be discovered by the enemy in the lurking position, how to quickly enter and exit the battlefield, and even eliminate the traces of the march.

When the battle plan was basically formed, Ni Liang felt exhausted, even more tired than charging into battle, and it also made him realize why the little emperor often couldn't sleep all night, and after every battle, it was like a serious illness, because the pressure as the main general was too great. And he is only presiding over a small battle in a big battle, but His Majesty does not know that he is not only thinking about the situation on the battlefield, but also about the situation of the whole country, involving finances, people's livelihood, internal stability, personnel arrangements, aftermath and other big and small matters, I don't know how many times more pressure he is under.

Think about the little emperor who began to participate in state affairs when he was only six years old, controlled the overall situation, and had to worry about the food and drink of the people in the Shuai Mansion. And after the imprisonment of the country, His Majesty presided over the affairs of the state, but inherited a precarious country, the people were demoralized, the morale was low, the finances collapsed, and the court was forced to go into exile at sea. And he just felt haggard just by presiding over such a small battle independently, and he couldn't help but ask His Majesty for advice, which made Ni Liang feel ashamed.

However, Ni Liang's tenacious character made him quickly get rid of it, and he wanted to share his majesty's worries and devote himself to planning this battle. According to the reconnaissance in the early stage, he decided to attack the enemy who came to Xuzhou's aid first, set up the ambush position on the south bank of Suishui, and annihilated the enemy in the middle of the crossing. However, this plan is still flawed, first, the ferry is close to Fuli, once the battle begins, Fuli can quickly support after discovering it, and more troops are needed to intercept it; Second, if the enemy retreats in time after being ambushed, it will be difficult to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the enemy.

Just as Ni Liang was hesitating, he was struck by a piece of information from the Bureau, according to a report from one of their spies, Jiagou Station suddenly began to drive away the residents of the post station, and to collect and purchase large quantities of grain and forage. Because the march of the Mengyuan army was generally provided with grain and grass by the prefectures and counties along the way, he judged that a large number of enemy troops might cross the border, so he reported the situation.

Ni Liang realized that this was an excellent fighter, and the terrain of the ditch was very conducive to destroying the enemy, as long as the two mountain passes in front and back were blocked, then the enemy army would be a turtle in the urn, so he adjusted the battle plan in time, sent scouts to monitor the enemy's movements, and surveyed the terrain. In order to avoid the detection of the enemy army by mobilizing a large number of troops during the day, he sent troops after dark, rushed to the battlefield at the speed of a rapid march, surrounded the enemy army in the valley, formed a situation of catching turtles in an urn, and gathered him here......

"Report to the commander, Shi Fei, the commander of the artillery regiment of the third brigade of the Imperial Protector Army, was ordered to arrive!" The temple door was suddenly opened, and an officer rushed in breathlessly.

"Drink saliva first!" After Ni Liang returned the salute, he saw that his body was all wet with sweat, and his head was steaming, so he took a glass of water and handed it to him.

"Du Shuai, let's assign tasks!" Shi Fei couldn't be polite, he was really thirsty, he drank the water in one go, put down the cup and couldn't wait to say it. Halfway through the journey, he received an order from the herald to rush to the command post after he arrived, and the commander was to personally assign him a task. Leapfrogging to give combat orders, which is rare among the guards, he realized that there must be an important task, so he led two personal soldiers to hurry to receive the task.

"I heard you brought two rocket launchers up the mountain!" Ni Liang looked at him and asked.

"Yes!" Shi Fei heard Du Shuai ask this, his heart tightened, he knew that he was violating the light order by doing this, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it be that Du Shuai wanted to be held responsible, and secretly scolded which mouthy donkey reported to Du Shuai, but he still defended, "The last general thinks that the rocket artillery has a long range and great power, and it is suitable for surprise attacks." And after decomposition, only eight soldiers are needed to carry it, and it will not affect the speed of the march, so I took it upon myself to bring two doors, please punish the commander! ”

"You disobeyed the order and deserved to be punished severely, but now there is a chance to make meritorious service and atone for your sins, are you willing to accept it!" Although he was secretly happy in his heart, Ni Liang's face couldn't be seen at all, and he said calmly.

"Du Shuai, the last general is willing!" Shi Fei has always been jealous of this iron-faced and selfless marshal, and violating military orders is a felony, and when he heard it, he stood up and saluted without hesitation.

"Okay, come with me!" Ni Liang led Shi Fei to the high platform outside the temple, handed him a telescope and said, "Look at the brightest place over there, the place with the brightest lights is the post house of Jiagou Station, where the enemy chief sleeps all night, and he is not sure that he will be defeated with a salvo?" ”

"All handsome...... The end will be! Shi Fei didn't answer immediately, and only replied after looking at it for a while.

"If you fail to do so, you will be punished for both; If it's a hit, Ben Shuai will give you credit! Ni Liang said solemnly.

"Yes, the Admiral will blow it up with one shot!" Shi Fei gritted his teeth and reassured.

"Okay, the whole army will take the sound of your cannon as a signal, and attack as soon as the cannon sounds!" After Ni Liang received his repeated assurances, his face slowly patted his shoulder and said.

"Did you kid cause trouble for Lao Tzu again?" Shi Fei was just about to raise his hand to salute and prepare to build a gun position, when he suddenly received a kick on the buttocks, kicking him to the ground, followed by a series of curses.

"Commander, I'll ......" Shi Fei turned around and looked, but it was Sun Jin, the brigade commander, who knew that this kick was in vain, and was about to explain with a bitter face, but was interrupted again.

"Du Shuai, this kid is just a dumbfounder, he has no score to do things, don't be angry with him. Wait for the last general to send him back and teach him a good lesson, so that he knows what military law is! Sun Jin pulled Shi Fei aside and said with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, your department is slow to move, and you haven't entered the attack position for a long time, do you want to let you understand it too!" Ni Liang snorted coldly.

"Du Shuai, the mountain road is really difficult, the last general has already given the order to die, even if he runs to death, he can't delay time, isn't it the end of the ugly time yet!" Sun Jin learned that Shi Fei was called away by Du Shuai on the way, and immediately understood that he must have missed the matter of carrying rocket artillery in violation of the order, thinking that with Ni Liang's temperament, he had to make an example of killing him, so he hurried over to save people, but he didn't expect to implicate himself. He looked at the hourglass on the side and argued.

"You're going to take advantage of the loophole, so don't leave if you're here!" Ni Liang grabbed Sun Jin and pulled him a few steps forward, seeing that Shi Fei also followed and shouted, "If you don't go yet, what will you do with him!" ”

"Yes, if the last general can't blow up the enemy chieftain, come and see you! However, please also write down the mistakes of the system and bear it by the last general! Shi Fei stopped immediately when he heard this, he also understood that the control was here to 'save' himself, and while ensuring the completion of the task, he pleaded for him.

"You're affectionate, but don't forget that you're all guilty of sin!" Ni Liang was amused, and said with a smile on his face, "Commander Sun, after the battle starts, when your troops are in chaos with the enemy, you must quickly rush down the mountain, seize the stone bridge in the market town, divide the enemy army, and cooperate with the other two brigades to annihilate the enemy army!" ”

"Yes, the last general understands and resolutely completes the task!" Sun Jin also knew that Ni Liang was bluffing him at this time, and smiled at Shi Fei, but accepted the task unambiguously, and stood up and saluted.
