In the following days, the outside of Snow White City was strictly guarded every day, and anyone who entered and exited the city gate was suspicious, and they would be carefully interrogated to prevent the other party from sneaking in.

In the few days when Yun Zhonghe just announced the restoration of the country and succeeded to the throne, the defectors were like a tide, and in just five days, more than 10,000 people had already come to take refuge and joined the team of Yun Zhonghe preparing to crusade against Yun Tianxiao.

Until the sixth day.

Yun Tianxiao's 100,000 army is already approaching, and the number of people who defect is gradually becoming fewer.

Some people are hesitating and waiting again.

Five miles outside the east gate of Snow City, there is a dense forest, in the woods there is a clear river passing through the middle, and there is an ancient road on the bank of the river, which is the only way to come from the east.

Yun Tianxiao's 100,000 troops, coming from Yuehua City in the east, will inevitably pass through here.

To the south of the bank of the river is a small hill with a small flat meadow at the top.

Mu Qianmei, Zhuang Shujun, Liu Tingfeng and Bai Zhiming sat on four stones, and what was surrounded by them in the middle was a square bluestone, and now, there was a map on it, which was a detailed topographic map of the surroundings of Snow White City.

The corners of the map are pressed with pebbles to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.

After discussing for a while, they all looked at the map silently, thought quietly, and did not speak for a long time.

After a long time, it was Zhuang Shujun who broke the silence first, he picked up a small wooden stick, pointed to two locations on the map and said:

"We set up an ambush on both sides, and when the opponent's 100,000 army passes halfway, launch a lightning surprise attack, catch them by surprise, and when the people in front turn back, the soldiers and horses in our city also rush out of the city, so that we can be surrounded by three sides, it is best to quickly eat half of their troops, of course, the most important thing is to disrupt their formation, so that they can't take care of each other."

Mu Qianmei said:

"We are surrounded by three parties, and we can't block them, they will inevitably resist desperately, so it's not easy to fight, we have to leave a gap for them, so that they have a chance to escape, and we can't leave a gap too big, otherwise it's not good to escape too fast, it's better to let them crowd each other, the more chaotic the better, and we set up some traps not far from the exit, and we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Bai Zhiming also suggested:

"I think if you want to mess up the opponent's formation, the best way is to capture the thief and capture the king first, and see if there is a chance to shoot or capture their main general, the main general will lose its effect, and the soldiers and horses will be chaotic!"

Liu Tingfeng hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Senior sister, if I am responsible for capturing the other party's main general, I also hope to do my best to assist you in winning this battle."

Mu Qianmei shook her head and replied:

"Let's try long-range archery first, to see if we can succeed, if not, we can also continue to attack with fire, 100,000 troops to capture the opponent's generals, after all, it is not the best policy, I believe that the guards around the main general must be masters, once you fall into a heavy siege, we ourselves will be in chaos."

"Fire attack? How do you use this fire attack? ”

Zhuang Shujun couldn't help asking.

Mu Qianmei thought for a while before answering:

"When we cut off the opponent's team from the middle, we immediately threw the prepared straw and dry wood that had been poured grease at the disconnected place, and then shot bows and arrows with flames to ignite the firewood so that the men and horses behind them could not pass through, which not only cut off their ranks, but also disrupted their formation."

"Well, this method is very good, generally speaking, the main general should be at the back of the team, and the troops in front lose the main general, and the dragons are leaderless, so it will be easier to fight."

Bai Zhiming said in agreement.

Zhuang Shujun also nodded in agreement, but he looked at his younger brother and said to Liu Tingfeng:

"I think there must be a leader in the vanguard army, and this leader will be handed over to Tingfeng, does Tingfeng think there is a problem?"

"There's no problem, as long as the other party's identity is confirmed, I'll go straight to him."

Liu Tingfeng hurriedly replied.

Yun Mengdie silently calculated the comparison of forces in her heart before she spoke:

"Whether it is successful or not, Tingfeng must put personal safety first!"

"Although we currently have a total of 70,000 troops, there are more than 20,000 new soldiers, and 10,000 defenders are left in the city, so the actual number of troops we can use in this battle is only 40,000."

"The disparity in strength is still very large, and we can only win by chance, not by hard work."

After listening to Mu Qianmei's words, several people bowed their heads in agreement.

As a result, an elaborate ambush plan was quietly underway.

Fortunately, after a few days of rain, the weather turned clearer.

Good weather, so that everything is in order.

Three days later, early in the morning, the spies came to report that the enemy's army of 100,000 had arrived ten miles away from Snow City.

Zhuang Shujun, as the general of the whole army this time, stood on the small hill, looked around at the woods on both sides, and felt that there was no omission in the cover measures that had been arranged in advance, so he said firmly:

"Pass the order, prepare for battle, and immediately take up your positions."

Bai Zhi understood that the city lord was the deputy general, and immediately personally conveyed the military order.

On the small hill, only Zhuang Shujun, Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng were left.

The guards stood a little farther away, so that they could hear their call and not interfere with their conversation.

"The first time I personally commanded the battle, I still have a little unsteady feeling in my heart, princess, is there anything missing in our arrangement?" Zhuang Shujun asked with a worried face.

Although the plan is well-planned, but the war is often fast-changing, I don't know if the other side will go according to his expectations, if the other side also guesses the arrangement of his side, it will be passive.

What's more, if the strength of one side is less than half of that of the other side, can such a war really be won?

Mu Qianmei replied slowly:

"When there are no outsiders in the future, you should call me Fluttershy, it feels strange to call me Princess! I was also a little uneasy, and I thought that if there were any omissions in our country, the biggest omission was that we didn't know much about the other side's generals. ”

"The information I have obtained so far is that I know that his name is Tang Xiao, and he used to be Yun Tianxiao's playmate, and he has no experience in leading troops."

"However, his military advisor is a student who graduated from our Lingyin Academy, named Song Yu. It is said that this person is very strategic, and when he was in the academy, he was known as 'Zhi Gongzi', so it is still unknown whether we can continue to fight this battle according to the predetermined policy! ”

"The so-called 'knowing each other and knowing oneself can not be defeated in a hundred battles', we still don't know too much information about the other!"

Mu Qianmei said what she thought.

"This 'Zhi Gongzi', I know, his resourcefulness is indeed not simple, he was a powerful figure in the academy back then."

"Originally, the academy wanted to keep him to join our team, but he was bent on becoming an official in the court, and the general court couldn't give him the position he wanted.

"And there are a lot of followers around this person, maybe they all joined Tang Xiao's team with him!"

Zhuang Shujun immediately said.

After Mu Qianmei heard this, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a long while, Mu Qianmei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said firmly:

"I think our arrangement really needs to be adjusted, since Song Yu is called Zhi Gongzi, he will definitely not recklessly break into our trap, if they find out the trap we arranged, it will make our situation passive."

"If it is too late to adjust by then, it is better to adjust it now, it will definitely not work when they take the initiative to enter the trap, we must change it to 'lure the king into the urn', we must take the initiative to lure them in."

"Bringing you into the urn? How do you lure the enemy in? ”

Zhuang Shujun asked suspiciously.

"There is no need to move the ambush of 15,000 people in the woods on both sides, and the 10,000 horses and horses we are going to take them into the trap will be transferred to the entrance of the woods to wait in line, giving people a feeling of being in a tight position, and we will fight and retreat again in the duel, and then retreat with the momentum of defeat, so that the other party can take advantage of the victory to pursue, and introduce the ambush we have set up......"

Mu Qianmei explained in detail.

As soon as she finished speaking, the agent came back and said that the enemy was five miles away.

"Okay, time is urgent, let's take 10,000 people to the front of the woods immediately and wait."

So, Zhuang Shujun first sent someone to inform Bai Zhiming, and then, together with Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng, he personally led 10,000 horses to the east.

Came to a place five hundred meters away from the exit of the woods, lined up in formation, and waited quietly.

This side was just ready, and after waiting for a long time, I saw the other party's 100,000 troops coming from afar.

Dense and neat.

It seems that the country's army is well-trained, although Yun Tianxiao is only a puppet emperor, but after all, he has been on the throne for seventeen years, and his own power is still very large.

Seeing that this side was already in full battle, the opposing army also stopped eight hundred meters away.

Mu Qianmei also went out with the army for the first time, and when she saw the opponent's army, the 100,000 army was really extraordinary, especially after standing in a neat and uniform formation, it was indeed imposing.

No matter how strong the individual force is, it will seem insignificant in this boundless sea of people.

Compared with the two, their own team of 10,000 people is very weak.

Fortunately, with Captain Zhuang and Princess Fluttershy personally pressing the formation, and there is an ambush in the Cloud Valley, everyone's task is only to lure the enemy deeper, so the mood is relatively stable.

Tang Xiao stood in a carriage in the middle of the team, about fifty years old, although he was no longer in his prime, he still retained a bit of the handsome silhouette and graceful temperament of his youth, but he couldn't find the image of a general.

He saw from a distance the 10,000 people waiting quietly in line at the entrance of Yunyougu, and he couldn't help but show a somewhat sneering expression, looked at the thin military advisor Song Yu beside him, and said contemptuously:

"Strategist, look at the opponent's army, there are only 10,000 people at most! What else is there to fight in this battle? ”

"General, there is a forest behind them, don't be careless!"

Song Yu replied thoughtfully.

"According to the information we have found, there are about 50,000 soldiers on the other side who can go to the battlefield, even if they ambush 40,000 people in the woods, we still rush in, in the face of absolute strength, the strategy is not worth mentioning at all!"

Tang Xiao said arrogantly.

"It's better for us to be careful, in that dense woods, our advantage of being large is not being used properly. I suggest that we first defeat their 10,000 men and horses, and then do not enter the Cloud Valley, but set up camp outside the valley, first, to wait for the 100,000 horses that we will come to support later, and second, to have time to find out the situation of the other party before making the next step. ”

Song Yu said cautiously.

"What? 100,000 fights 50,000, and we still have to wait for the army behind? Then what kind of face do we have to face the emperor's kindness? In my opinion, a quick battle can reflect the divine power of our army! ”

Tang Xiao frowned, glanced at Song Yu with an impatient look, and said insistently.

Song Yu, as a military advisor, saw that the main general was already angry and stubborn, he opened his mouth, and after all, he did not continue to speak, but sighed slightly in his heart.

One side is ready for battle, the other side is in high spirits, the battle of Cloud Valley is about to start, who can have the last laugh?
