Fang Yun was slightly relieved. At the same time, he was extremely grateful for the military books in the Wondrous Book World.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a huge library of military books, real history, and a large number of battle examples, he would've spent a lot of time learning basic military strategies such as Swift and Decisive Action or Spurt of Vigor like the common military scholars. Only when he became a Grand Scholar could he learn more advanced military strategies, and only when he became a Great Scholar or a Half-Saint could he learn the most profound military strategies.
For example, the Art of Deception was not particularly powerful, but it was much more powerful than similar illusory military tactics. For example, the Art of Flowergazing in the Fog was also an illusory tactic. It could only form a fog to block the enemy, but it could not make the enemy completely disappear, let alone transform.
There were also military tactics that could make the enemy completely disappear, but only a small number of Grand Scholars and ordinary Grand Scholars could do it. However, the Art of Deception could do it now!
For example, using the enemy's strength to kill with a borrowed knife, only a Grand Scholar could do it.
Fang Yun's military tactics were not inferior to those of the Grand Scholars in terms of nature and realm. However, it was far inferior in terms of range, number of people, duration, and other 'quantitative' aspects.
If a Grand Scholar used Bow and Snake Shadow, he could create a hundred thousand fake soldiers. Half-saint could make these illusions real, but Fang Yun's Art of Deception could only create a few thousand fake soldiers. The gap was huge.
"I want to learn some useful military tactics in the future. I'm afraid I'll have to find a good military teacher. The inheritance of military tactics is stricter than that of Confucianism. If I have any intention of harming a military teacher, my military books will attack me directly! When I become more proficient in military tactics, I can teach them one by one. However, it's not appropriate to teach the Thirty-Six Stratagems directly. I should teach them the military tactics that do not exist in Saint Origin World through the history of the Imperial Lord Codex. At that time, if there is a civil war in the human race, at least no one will dare to attack me. "
Fang Yun quickly collected his thoughts. His gaze fell on the map in front of him.
"Although Xin Zhi is an experienced Hanlin, he is not the best military Hanlin. The art of war cannot be demonstrated through talent. Even if he has the power to kill, after many years of tempering, the art of war is just ordinary. The power of the art of war is only on par with my ordinary art of war, far inferior to Dark Crossing Chen Cang. After all, Dark Crossing Chen Cang was created by Han Xin. "
"Although he's older, I've read a lot of history, war, and military books. My theoretical knowledge far surpasses his. I'm not as good as him in actual combat, but I've also gone through many talent exercises. Furthermore, I've been in the Book Hill environment. He also had some experience. What's more, our three generals are all proficient in the art of war. "
Fang Yun continued to ponder. In a confrontation of the Dao of War like this, both sides only had one chance to decide victory or defeat. If they were careless and allowed the opponent to grasp their weakness, they would definitely be defeated.
Fang Yun picked up the brush and drew a circle around the barbarian tribe, another circle around Yi County, and a line on the enemy's supply route. The key points were highlighted.
While Fang Yun was thinking, the scout team kept handing in all kinds of information.
There were no movements from the barbarian tribes. Over at Yi County. Xin Zhi had already sent out ten thousand soldiers to receive the grain team, and the number of soldiers in the city had decreased significantly.
Fang Yun passed the information to the generals for them to read and express their opinions.
"Although there are only five thousand elite soldiers guarding the grain team, there are a lot of auxiliary soldiers and civilian workers. As long as these ten thousand soldiers join the grain team and combine into one, they will definitely form a powerful combat force. Even if we attack with our entire army, as long as they can delay us and wait for the twenty-five thousand troops left behind in Yi County to come out and attack from the front and back. Our army will definitely lose. "
"Yi County is defended by twenty thousand troops. It's impossible for our army to take it down. Unless you have a powerful art of war and can directly teleport us into the city. "
"Actually, there's a way. Our entire army will attack the grain team. As long as we send out an army to block the reinforcements from Yi County, we will have a chance of winning. "
"If we use this method, the chances of winning will only be fifty-fifty. We can't use it recklessly."
"Even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory. How can we still have the strength to attack the barbarian tribe?"
"Should we wait and see? Change according to Xin Zhi's changes. "
"It's possible, but it's too passive …"
Fang Yun listened to everyone's discussion. These generals couldn't come up with any brilliant tactics, but they could think of all aspects and provide basic ideas for their own tactics.
Fang Yun pondered for two hours before finally raising his head.
The generals immediately straightened their bodies. Their breathing became rapid, and their armor clanged. The atmosphere was tense.
Fang Yun reached out to take the tiger tally from the table and said, "Jia Lan of the Luoshan Army and Personal Guard Ye Ping, are you here?"
"Here!" The two generals stood up in unison.
"The two of you, immediately mobilize the troops and leave Yun Mountain Pass with me. We will attack the barbarians together. There must be no mistakes!" Fang Yun said loudly.
"Yes, sir!" Confusion flashed across Jia Lan and Ye Ping's faces, but they still obeyed the order and left the tent with the other officials of the two armies to mobilize the troops.
Fang Yun then said, "Are Wang Yinglu of the Ming Mountain Army and Su Yuankui of the Hongshan Army here?"
"Yes, sir!" The two generals stood up.
"The two of you, immediately mobilize the troops and leave Yun Mountain Pass with me. However, the Ming Mountain Army and Hongshan Army will head to Yi County slowly to prevent a pincer attack from Xin Zhi Division and the barbarians. There must be no mistakes! "
"Yes, sir!" The two generals also left with their subordinates.
Fang Yun looked at the officials present. Most of them were civil officials who didn't go to the battlefield. However, in the end, Fang Yun only left Xue Yue and the most basic people to defend Yun Mountain Pass. He ordered all the remaining Jinshi and Juren to follow the army.
After issuing the military order, Fang Yun stepped out of the tent and looked up at the sky.
Ordinary people couldn't bear the bright sunlight and could only squint. However, Fang Yun opened his eyes as usual. He looked at the sky and saw a few mechanical birds. Then, he walked towards the drill ground without a care.
The army of Yun Mountain Pass had been assembled. Other than the soldiers guarding the pass, the entire army was there.
In the drill ground, swords and spears were erected. The armors were bright and the flags fluttered. A heroic spirit reverberated in the air.
First, Fang Yun scolded the barbarians and barbarians, and criticized Xin Zhi. Then, the three Hanlin Scholars each wrote a poem, also known as Zhuang Xing Poem, 《Chang Wu》.
The three 《Chang Wu》 battle poems formed a ray of light that enveloped all the soldiers.
Everyone, including Fang Yun, felt their bodies swell up. Their strength increased, their stamina increased, and their movements became more agile.
Then, the three of them wrote another poem to raise everyone's spirits.
Then, Wang Yinglu used the art of war, "Food First", so that everyone wouldn't be hungry for three days. However, after three days, they would need to eat a large amount of food to make up for it. Otherwise, it would cause permanent damage to the soldiers.
Before leaving, Fang Yun gathered the main generals together and told them to spread the word to isolate the outside world. Then, he told them the real battle strategy.
After hearing this, the generals couldn't suppress their joy. Their eyes were filled with deep respect.
Then, Fang Yun used some kind of art of war on the Ming Mountain Army and Hongshan Army.
Finally, the army set out.
Fang Yun led five thousand cavalrymen and ten thousand infantrymen of the Luoshan Army to attack the barbarian tribe.
The Ming Mountain Army and Hongshan Army had a total of twenty thousand soldiers. They marched towards Yi County, where Xin Zhi was. However, their movements were slower, as if they were conserving their strength and waiting for something.
The mechanical birds in the sky quickly flew back to Yi County. (To be continued)
