In the tent, Ouyang Shuo relayed the information that Xie Shi had provided.
When everyone heard this, they were silent for a moment.
Ouyang Shuo was calm and said with a smile, "Everyone, feel free to speak your mind if you have any plans."
"Wuyi, can you use your flying team to bombard the enemy's rear and destroy their food supply?" Feng Qiuhuang also grasped the crucial point of the enemy's food supply.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "You overestimate the flying machine. It has a flying distance limit. Once the energy of the Magnetite Ore is depleted, it will have to stop to recharge. There are no airports in the battle map for flying machines to stop at. If you really send the flying team out, it will be a one-way trip. "
"..."
The flying machine was the secret weapon of the Great Xia Dynasty. There were very few players in the China region who truly understood the principles of flying machines. Feng Qiuhuang and the rest were the same.
After Feng Qiuhuang heard Ouyang Shuo's explanation, he felt that the flying machine was of little value.
Ouyang Shuo did not explain further. In fact, the flying machine was similar to a real bomber. It needed to be used together with a warship in order to display its greatest value.
This was also the reason why the flying team would stop on the deck of the warship every time.
The Siege Lion said, "Wu Qi has just taken over the Qin Army's Marshal Seal. There will definitely be a period of adaptation and adjustment. Why don't we attack tomorrow and deal a fatal blow to the enemy when they are at their weakest. "
Feng Qiuhuang glared at the Siege Lion and said, "You are stupid, but Di Chen and the rest are not. The 400,000 mutant army of the former Qin Army is definitely on standby. If we attack now, won't we be falling into their trap? "
The Siege Lion scratched his head in embarrassment. He did not mind.
Even Ouyang Shuo had to give way to Feng Qiuhuang's valiance.
No matter how they discussed, there was no good plan. Seeing that they could not come to a conclusion, Ouyang Shuo looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wen He, tell us your opinion."
With a "swoosh", Feng Qiuhuang and the rest focused their gazes on Jia Xu. Ever since they joined the Great Xia Dynasty, Feng Qiuhuang and the rest had heard of Jia Xu's schemes. They were naturally looking forward to it.
Jia Xu said, "According to this humble subject's analysis, the crux of this battle is still behind the enemy lines. The difference in strength between us and the enemy is still the million Qin soldiers. If Wu Qi can successfully unify this million army, then the Former Qin will be almost undefeatable. If we can disperse this million army, then the Former Qin will fall into chaos and fall without a fight. "
Jia Xu's words hit the nail on the head. Feng Qiuhuang and the rest nodded in agreement.
"The one million Qin army can be divided into three parts. The first is the one hundred and fifty thousand vanguards on the west bank of the Fei River. The second part is the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have already arrived at Shou Yang. The third part is the rear army who is still on their way. The vanguard unit had the mutant army holding the line, so the possibility of chaos was not high. If the vanguard unit did not fall into chaos, the chances of the Shou Yang army falling into chaos would not be high either. Thus, the easiest way to break through is still the army at the rear. "
Ouyang Shuo asked: "Wen He's meaning is that you still want to harass the Qin rear?"
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Although Xie Shi said that it will be difficult to attack the enemy's rear, we still have to take this step. In order to cause the army of one million Qin soldiers to collapse, they needed a fuse. Originally, the Qin vanguard unit was the best fuse, but now, we can only settle for the next best thing and attack the Qin rear army. "
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we use five thousand elite cavalry as a combat unit and send out three to four such cavalry units to sneak into the Qin territory. There is no need to specifically attack the supply lines. Regardless of whether it is the supply team or the army that is rushing over, as long as there is a chance, we will attack."
The Siege Lion asked: "Why do we need to send three to four cavalry units? Can't we just gather them together?"
Jia Xu explained: "Since we are going to attack the enemy's rear, the target cannot be too big. Five thousand elite cavalry is already the limit. In addition, with a few cavalry units attacking together, it can confuse the enemy, making them unable to determine how many cavalrymen have infiltrated the rear. The deeper we send the elite cavalry, the more destructive it will be to the Qin army. "
Feng Qiuhuang rolled his eyes and said: "Is it that the cavalry we send out can also spread the news of the front army's defeat along the way, further destroying the Qin army's psychological defense?"
"Sir is wise." Jia Xu nodded approvingly.
Ouyang Shuo waited for everyone to finish speaking before saying: "In that case, Great Xia Dynasty, Luo Feng City, and Wan Shi City will each send out an elite cavalry unit to harass the Qin rear. As for the guide, I will ask Xie Shi for one. "
Although attacking the Qin rear was risky, the rewards were great. The hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers were like wheat waiting to be harvested. If the operation was done well, they would definitely be able to obtain a large number of merit points.
Because of this, Ouyang Shuo wanted to be fair and not take all the benefits for himself.
Apart from the above considerations, Ouyang Shuo was also unwilling to mobilize too many Imperial Guards at once. The second Imperial Guard Legion that he brought this time was not only the stabilizing force of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas, but also the stabilizing force of the 370,000 mutant soldiers. In a sense, it was the stabilizing force of the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Since it was the stabilizing force, it naturally could not be mobilized easily.
Ouyang Shuo looked at Huo Qubing and said: "Commander Huo, let General Cao Chun carry out this mission."
"Yes!" Huo Qubing nodded in response.
Originally, Huo Qubing's forte was attacking the enemy's rear. However, as the only Divine General in the Eastern Jin Dynasty camp, he had to lead the entire army and was unable to do so.
Fortunately, Cao Chun, the former commander of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry, was trained by Huo Qubing in long-distance attacks. With Cao Chun in charge, there should not be any problems.
As for the commander of the second Imperial Guard Legion, Ma Chao, he had to lead the second Imperial Guard Legion. Secondly, Ma Chao's personality was not too suitable for attacking the enemy's rear.
Seeing that the king had made the necessary arrangements, Jia Xu continued: "Just now, Lord Feng Qiuhuang mentioned the bombing. Although it cannot be used as the main method, it can be used as a supplementary method. Of course, the target of the bombing is not the Qin rear, but the Qin vanguard. "
"What do you mean?" Feng Qiuhuang was slightly unconvinced.
Jia Xu explained: "Firstly, the former Qin vanguard is stationed at the west bank of the Fei River. The flying squad that is parked at the Huai River can easily travel between the two places. Secondly, the objective is clear. The bombing is not to cause many casualties, but to continuously stimulate the nerves of the Qin soldiers. "
"We must keep the Qin soldiers in a highly tense state. Only then can we make them collapse under the pressure. That is something that even a famous general like Wu Qi cannot stop."
When Feng Qiuhuang heard this, she was secretly envious. It would be great if she had such a strategist by her side.
Ouyang Shuo was rather calm, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes. Although Jia Xu's two plans were good, they were only supplementary methods and not fatal.
In terms of the overall battle strategy, they were still at their wits' end.
When he thought of this, Ouyang Shuo said: "Do you think we can do something to Murong Chui and Yao Chi who have been stripped of their military power by Fu Jian? These two are ambitious heroes in this chaotic world. They won't give in so easily, right?"
"Definitely not." Jia Xu's eyes brightened. "In the former Qin, the two of them represented the Xianbei and Qiang tribes. They are also the founders of Later Qin and Later Yan. Now that they have been stripped of their military power, they must be unwilling to accept it. I'm afraid there are already undercurrents surging in the Qin army. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded. This was the reason why Fu Jian did not dare to kill Murong Chui and Yao Chi. When he thought of this, Ouyang Shuo made up his mind. He decided to look for Xie Shi later and get in touch with Murong Chui and Yao Chi through the secret agents of East Jin.
No matter what the result was, there was no harm in testing them.
When he had said what he needed to say, Ouyang Shuo asked: "Is there anything else you want to add?" They all shook their heads. Ouyang Shuo noticed that Jia Xu wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he still shook his head.
Ouyang Shuo said: "In that case, I will gather the other lords later and report this situation." Unity was another thing that Ouyang Shuo wanted to gain.
No matter what these lords were thinking, at least everyone had the same interest in this battle. Only by binding the 370,000 mutant soldiers to the same chariot could they have a chance of winning the battle at the Fei River.
Feng Qiuhuang and the others naturally had no objections.
After the meeting, Ouyang Shuo asked Jia Xu: "Wen He, did you have anything to say just now?"
Jia Xu nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this battle will be very difficult."
"Did you foresee something?"
Jia Xu said: "If I were the Qin army, under such a situation, I wouldn't keep the army at the Fei River. East Jin still has a lot of territory waiting for them to conquer."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said: "This is also what I am most worried about. Once the Qin army attacks from all directions, the flames of war will rise everywhere. Hopefully, the East Jin Imperial Court will be able to withstand it."
East Jin was content in a corner of the world. It was rich and populous, but the commoners were not courageous.
"Wen He, we have to make preparations as well."
As they spoke, the two of them started to secretly plot something.
… …
Around five in the afternoon, it was close to mealtime.
At this moment, a series of explosions came from the sky above the camp of the former Qin army.
The flying squad of the Great Xia Dynasty arrived as scheduled, dropping incendiary bombs one after another. The explosions and flames interweaved, causing the already noisy camp to become extremely chaotic.
The former Qin army had never seen such a scene before, and all of their faces were pale with fright.
"Oh no, there's a fire!"
Fortunately, it was not the time for the two armies to face each other. The soldiers were all resting in their respective camps. Otherwise, just this round of explosions would be enough to cause chaos in the Qin army.
Even so, the entire military camp was in chaos.
The warhorses neighed, and the people were in an uproar. The soldiers dodged the explosions, and at the same time, under the orders of the officers, they fetched water to put out the fire, preventing it from spreading.
Seeing this, Wu Qi, Wei Yan, Hua Xiong, and the other generals hurriedly worked with the player liaison officers to maintain order in the camp and calm the soldiers.
Just as the Qin army was in chaos, on the east bank of the Fei River, three cavalry units quietly left the camp. With the help of the first formation of the Cliff Mountain Fleet, they crossed the Huai River and disappeared into the night.
The battle of the Fei River had officially begun.
