Zhao Hai didn't intend to hide his plan from Liu Kaide. In fact, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. After all, how could the mobilization of an army be hidden from the enemy? Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't hide it from Liu Kaide and the others. He directly led the army to Nanyu City.
Naturally, Liu Kaide received the news when Zhao Hai's army was mobilized. When he heard that Zhao Hai's army was going to Nanyu City, he couldn't help but sigh. From Zhao Hai's mobilization of the army, one could see Zhao Hai's military accomplishments. This defensive line was established by Liu Kaide. Although Nanyu City was one of the three cities in front of the defensive line, Liu Kaide knew that Nanyu City was the easiest of the five cities to break through.
This didn't mean that Nanyu City's defense wasn't good. In fact, Nanyu City's defense was the best among the five cities. The city was also very sturdy. However, Nanyu City's location gave Liu Kaide a headache.
Nanyu City's location wasn't particularly close to the front, but it was too far to the left. It wasn't wrong to say that Nanyu City could cooperate with the other cities. It was just that the distance was a bit far. This was the reason why Zhao Hai felt a headache. If the other cities wanted to cooperate with Nanyu City, they could only use transmission formations. If they went out of the city, the effect wouldn't be very good. Because of the distance, they wouldn't be able to launch a surprise attack. As soon as they went out of the city, they would be discovered by Zhao Hai. Therefore, the other cities could only choose to engage in a field battle with Zhao Hai's army. This way, it would be easy for Zhao Hai to deal with them. Tens of thousands of people would be able to block them. This wouldn't affect their attack on Nanyu City.
As for giving up on Nanyu City, that was also impossible. If they gave up on Nanyu City, then Zhao Hai and the others could use it as a stronghold. Whether it was in terms of offense or defense, they would have a great advantage. Therefore, Liu Kaide placed more troops in Nanyu City, making it the best among the five cities.
Liu Kaide was also afraid that Zhao Hai would attack Nanyu City. If that happened, they would be in a lot of trouble. At that time, they would have no choice but to fully support Nanyu City. This would lead to a battle between them and Zhao Hai. For them, this wasn't a good thing.
However, Zhao Hai actually chose Southern Yu City. This made Liu Kaide think highly of Zhao Hai. Most importantly, this gave him a headache. Zhao Hai's Southern Yu City wasn't a bad choice.
Liu Kaide gathered the remaining generals, then he looked at them and said, "Zhao Hai's army is heading towards Southern Remnant City. I think they will certainly attack Southern Remnant City. Everyone, prepare yourselves." Liu Kaide nodded and said, "Zhao Hai's army is heading towards Southern Remnant City.
Everyone weakly nodded. At this time, these generals weren't in the mood to deal with Liu Kaide. This was because their current situation wasn't very good.
They were generals sent by the various city-states under the control of the Sacred Academy. They thought that they would be able to fight against the enemy for some time. It would be best if they could repel the enemy. This way, they would be able to make contributions. However, they didn't expect that just a few days after they arrived at the frontlines, they would be drowned by a flood. In this case, they didn't have the mood to think about how to fight against Zhao Hai. Instead, they were thinking about the punishment they would face when they returned.
Liu Kaide looked at these people and said, "You can rest assured, I have already sent letters to the city lords and explained the situation here. When you return to your city-state, you won't be punished. If you join me and block Zhao's attack, then you might even be rewarded when you return to your city-state. So don't think too much about it, just think about how to repel Zhao's army." Liu Kaide looked at these people and said, "I've already sent a letter to the city lords, explaining the situation here.
When everyone heard Liu Kaide, they couldn't help but feel better. They were worried that they would be punished when they returned to the city-state. Now that they heard that they wouldn't be punished and might even be rewarded, everyone's mood became a lot better. Their spirits also became a lot higher.
Liu Kaide looked at these people and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He discovered that these generals weren't very good. They might be able to fight a favorable battle, but once they lose, they would immediately lose their confidence and think about their own gains and losses. Such people couldn't become good generals. A good general needs to have an indomitable spirit. You can fail, but you can't despair. Even in the most desperate times, you still need to find a way to solve the problem.
Liu Kaide wasn't in the mood to lecture these people, he just looked at them and said, "Zhao's choice of attack location is very clever. Southern Yu City can be said to be the most difficult place in our defensive line, but Zhao chose that place. Moreover, they might be going all out this time, so what we need to do this time is to block their attack. For us, this is very difficult, but also very simple. We don't need to worry about Zhao attacking other places, we just need to defend Southern Yu City. The difficult part is how to block their attack."
What we need to do is to block Nanyu City. "After saying this, Liu Kaide paused for a moment before he continued," Nanyu City isn't very close to the other four cities. Because of this, if the other four cities want to support Nanyu City, they can't directly go out of their cities. This is because Zhao Hai would surround Nanyu City and attack our reinforcements. When that time comes, we won't be able to gain any advantage. Because of this, we can only use the transmission formation to support Nanyu City. There, we will have to fight Zhao Hai and the others head-on. "
Although Liu Kaide didn't think that these people were qualified to be generals, they still had experience in battles. Therefore, they knew that Liu Kaide was right. Zhao Hai's choice of attack was very accurate. If they wanted to reinforce, they could only use the transmission formation from the city. It was impossible for them to send troops outside the city to attack Zhao Hai and the others, so that they could cooperate in the battle.
Liu Kaide continued, "This time, I called everyone here to tell you that after you return to your cities, you should prepare your armies so that they can support Southern Yu City at any time. Some siege weapons should be sent to Southern Yu City first. Zhao Hai has a lot of soldiers, it's impossible for him to move his army just to confuse us. If he really does move his army, then we should be able to respond in a short time. After all, his army is too large, it's not convenient to move them." Liu Kaide nodded, "That's enough time for us to prepare." Liu Kaide nodded, "That's enough.
Everyone nodded. In fact, there weren't a lot of things that they could manage right now. After all, they only had a hundred thousand troops. If they used dozens of generals, then the situation would become chaotic. Because of this, Liu Kaide called them here to give them a warning.
However, it can't be said that these people were useless. Even if they weren't leading the army, they were still Sky Dance Realm experts. And in a war in the Spirit Weapon Realm, Sky Dance Realm experts were still very useful.
After Liu Kaide finished speaking, he turned to everyone and said, "Alright, everyone can go back. Remember, prepare to support Nanyu City at any time." Everyone nodded before they turned around and left Liu Kaide's room.
At this time, Zhao Hai was sitting in his own carriage. The army was rushing towards Nanyu City. Zhao Hai's carriage was something that all generals in the Spirit Weapon Realm would sit in. This kind of carriage was divided into two floors. The lower floor was where the generals worked and rested, it was like a room. The top floor was a platform with a general's flag and a chair. In short, the top floor was used to command the battle.
This was the first battle. Although they had made a battle plan beforehand, the situation on the battlefield was constantly changing. It was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be any unexpected situations. At this time, the commander would need to issue orders. At this time, the commander would usually sit on the carriage and raise his flag high to let others see his flag. This was to stabilize the morale of the army.
Although Zhao Hai didn't want to do these things, he knew that as the commander of the army, he had to do this. This was because the people in the Spirit Weapon Realm were used to using these carriages. If he didn't use them, then the people here wouldn't be used to it.
At this time, several generals were gathered in Zhao Hai's carriage. These generals were people that Zhao Hai trusted. Among them, Shi Chui and Chen Yonghe were the leaders.
Zhao Hai looked at the group and said, "Today, I called you here because I have a task for you. I'm afraid that this information will be leaked, so I can only tell you about it. Although we have already made a plan to attack Southern Yu City, we still need to prepare for both sides. That is, when the armies of the other four cities come to support Southern Yu City, we need to know what to do." Zhao Hai looked at the group and said, "What do you think?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, everyone stared. Shi Chui was the one who understood Zhao Hai the most. Therefore, when he heard Zhao Hai, his eyes couldn't help but light up as he said, "Young Master, you want to attack the other four cities while they're supporting Nanyu City?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, that's not what I meant. First, we need to attack Southern Yu City, making them feel pressured. At the same time, we need to make them think that all of our forces were used to attack Southern Yu City. We won't have any extra forces to attack the other cities. At this time, we can suddenly attack the other cities and capture them. After that, Southern Yu City would be finished." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Chen Yonghe nodded and said, "Indeed. As long as we take the other cities, then Nanyu City would be finished. At that time, we can attack with all our strength and Nanyu City would certainly fall. We can also reduce casualties. On the other hand, if we keep attacking Nanyu City and use the lightning and boundary formations at the beginning, then the enemy might be prepared. They might see that Nanyu City can't be defended, so they might withdraw from the city and use the other four cities as a base to fight against us. Although we have the upper hand, we can't deal with them quickly. This isn't a good thing for us. At that time, the reinforcements from the Sacred Academy might arrive. Therefore, it is necessary to attack the other four cities."
