Mt. Datong was located at the border between the Southern Nation and Xia Xia. It was the place where Xia Xia's army and the Southern Nation's army fought.
Wang Tan personally led the Southern Nation's army.
Apart from him, Zou Yi and Wu Youdao were also there. The Southern Nation's army was close to 50,000 people.
Due to the conflict in the past when they attacked the Fire Nation, the Southern Nation sent people to learn more about Xia Xia. They knew that Xia Xia's army was strong. That was why they placed so much importance on it and mobilized 50,000 soldiers.
At this moment, in the Southern Nation's main tent.
Wang Tan sat in the tent.
He looked at Zou Yi and Wu Youdao with a serious expression and said, "Prime Minister, Minister Zou, we fought against Xia Xia. In this battle, we had the upper hand from the start and obtained the greatest merit. However, in the battle that followed, Yan Three led his troops and retreated to Mt. Datong to defend. We attacked several times, but we couldn't win. What do you think about this situation? If we want to defeat Xia Xia's army, we have to take Mt. Datong and destroy Yan Three's army. Otherwise, everything will be in vain. "
Wang Tan had never been afraid of killing.
His army was full of combat power and was enough to fight against Xia Xia.
Wang Tan even wanted to destroy Xia Xia's army.
At first, Wang Tan didn't want to start a war with Xia Xia. After all, he had been developing and expanding his strength. However, Wang Tan wasn't afraid of a war. Especially on Xia Xia's side, they deliberately provoked a conflict and started a war to attack the Southern Nation.
Wang Tan naturally wanted to fight back.
When Wu Youdao heard Wang Tan's words, he slowly said, "My lord, I've also thought about breaking Yan Three's defense. It's almost impossible to do so because whether it's in terms of supply or defense, Xia Xia's army is excellent. There's no problem at all. If we want to win, we can only attack forcefully. "
Zou Yi said, "Xia Xia's army is very elite. The enemy's artillery and grenades are not easy to deal with. Now that we want to win, I also agree with attacking forcefully. Because there's no other way, we can only attack forcefully. "
Both of them had the same opinion.
They were all hoping to force their way through.
It was just that when it came to attacking, it would involve the loss of soldiers. This kind of loss was not something Wang Tan was willing to see.
Wang Tan also fell silent.
For the time being, they could not come up with a concrete plan. After all, it would take some time to attack Mt. Datong. They had attacked several times, but they were all forced to retreat. Under such circumstances, attacking was completely useless.
Wang Tan looked at Wu Youdao and said, "Prime Minister, is there really no other way?"
Wu Youdao thought for a moment and said, "Allow me to think about it."
Wang Tan nodded. He looked at Zou Yi and said, "Zou Qing, you should also use your brain. Think carefully about how to break the current situation and how to win this battle."
"Yes!"
Zou Yi replied.
The three of them stopped talking and quietly pondered.
Time passed bit by bit. After a long time, Wu Youdao suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I might have a way."
Wang Tan asked, "What is it?"
Wu Youdao said, "We can only use a clumsy method. We can send soldiers to start digging trenches from the foot of the mountain and slowly dig up the mountain. As long as the trenches are dug, the soldiers can follow the trenches and sneak up the mountain when they are twenty to thirty steps away from Xia Xia's army. Then, they can launch an attack at close range. As the distance decreases, Xia Xia's mortars will lose their effect. Even if we have hand grenades, we won't be able to stop them. "
Wang Tan's eyes lit up. He said, "That's a good idea."
Wu Youdao said slowly, "However, because the enemy wants to stop us, it will take a long time for us to dig the trenches. In order to continue digging the trenches, our soldiers will have to stop Xia Xia's soldiers from causing trouble on the mountain. We will also need to bombard the enemy's position and delay their offensive. This bombardment will continue throughout the trenches. This strategy will take up a lot of time and resources. It's not an easy task. "
Wang Tan said, "No matter what, this is still a way."
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier rushed in.
The soldier cupped his fist and bowed. "Your Majesty, there is news from Xia Xia."
Wu Youdao took the letter and passed it to Wang Tan.
Wang Tan opened the letter and quickly skimmed through it. After reading it once, he put the letter aside and snorted. "The news just came from the person we planted in Hongshan County. Du Qi personally led 800 soldiers and left Hongshan County. They are heading towards Mt. Datong. I reckon that Du Qi will arrive soon. "
Zou Yi snorted and said, "Du Qi must have received news about the battle at Mt. Datong. He knows that Yan Three's army is suppressed on the mountain and can't take the initiative to attack. That's why he came."
Wang Tan said, "That's most likely the case."
Then, Wang Tan looked at Wu Youdao and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Wu Youdao thought about it carefully. After a while, he analyzed, "Your Majesty, Du Qi's methods have never been one to sit and wait for death. Since he took the initiative to come, I believe that he will most likely take the initiative to attack. That's why this is our chance. There's no need for us to dig a trench to attack. Let's wait for a while. When Du Qi arrives, we'll decide what to do based on Du Qi's actions. "
Wang Tan didn't agree immediately. He said, "Prime Minister, Du Qi is still on his way. Based on the current situation, do you think we can dig a trench up to the top of Mt. Datong before Du Qi arrives? "
"It's difficult!"
Wu Youdao shook his head.
He said seriously, "I've already said that digging a trench up to the top is a time-consuming and laborious strategy. When we reach the top, we'll have to continue fighting to see the final result. That's why we might not be able to take this down without three to five days or even half a month. Under this premise, it's not worth it to attack now. "
Wang Tan sighed and said, "It's really difficult! Dealing with Du Qi is much more complicated than dealing with the others. "
Wu Youdao laughed and said, "Your Majesty, it's not difficult to deal with the other factions because they all have their own problems. But Du Qi is different. Du Qi himself has no problems. Du Qi even rose to prominence in a short period of time. He's extremely powerful. Such a person is naturally not easy to deal with. But in my opinion, if we eliminate Du Qi, Your Majesty will have the foundation to establish a foothold in the world. At that time, you'll have a true foundation to contend for the world. "
Wang Tan said, "Prime Minister's words are correct."
He agreed with Wu Youdao's analysis and said, "Since that's the case, let's wait for a while and observe the changes. However, we need to keep a close eye on Du Qi's whereabouts. "
Wu Youdao said, "I understand."
Wang Tan waved his hand. Wu Youdao and Zou Yi got up and left. After leaving the tent, the two went about their own business.
Time flowed by. In a blink of an eye, four days had passed.
On this day, scouts sent news that the eight hundred soldiers led by Du Qi had already arrived at the front lines of Mt. Datong. After receiving the news, Wang Tan immediately notified Wu Youdao and Zou Yi for a meeting. He said in a deep voice, "Du Qi has already arrived. After thinking about it, I feel that we should lead the troops to probe Du Qi and feign an attack. What do you think about this matter? "
Wu Youdao nodded and said, "I agree!"
Zou Yi said, "I also agree."
The two nodded in agreement.
Wang Tan immediately made the arrangements. In a short period of time, the army set out and headed straight for Mt. Datong. After arriving at Mt. Datong, Wang Tan's army had already set up their battle formation and was ready to attack.
