Chapter 151: The war is about to begin, and the reputation will soon spread far and wide
Su Yueqing took out a clean piece of rice paper and spread it flat on the table. Then she took a brush and roughly drew the gate of Dingzhou City on it, and then divided the rice paper into two.
Su Yueqing was drawing on the paper while saying, "We will divide our troops into three groups. Senior brother will be responsible for fighting outside the city and luring the enemy into the city."
"Mu Chi will be responsible for the ambush in the city and catch them off guard."
"As for Yuan Sheng and I, we will be responsible for the ambush outside the city, cutting off Dongli's rear support troops, and killing Dongli's army in batches."
As Su Yueqing spoke, she had already marked the map.
The place where they ambushed outside the city was a hill with a favorable terrain and woods for concealment. It was an excellent location for both attack and defense.
Mu Chi looked at Su Yueqing and Jun Yuansheng and said, "Princess, why don't I ambush outside the city while you attack from inside the city."
Relatively speaking, Dingzhou City is much safer than outside the city.
Outside the city, there are Dongli's 100,000 troops. If anything unexpected happens, they may die here.
Su Yueqing knew what he was worried about and shook her head, "Mu Chi, the Dongli troops entering the city must be annihilated immediately. You are good at mechanical devices and hidden weapons, so you are the most suitable."
"As for me, don't worry. I can get out of any situation." Su Yueqing was very confident. She believed in her abilities.
Then, Su Yueqing looked at Jun Yuansheng, "As for Yuansheng, if you want to step into that position, you must temper yourself."
This is also the reason why Su Yueqing, knowing that it is dangerous outside the city, still wants to take Jun Yuansheng with her.
If Yuan Sheng really wants to become the Empress of Dongli, she must have a strong heart, remain fearless in the face of danger, go through hardships, and slowly accumulate the resources to become an empress.
Su Yueqing also thought that if something unexpected really happened, Yuan Sheng had a special identity, and she could pretend to take Yuan Sheng as a hostage, which would allow Yuan Sheng to escape and return safely to the Dongli army.
Jun Yuansheng knew what Su Yueqing meant and nodded firmly, "Qingqing, I'm not afraid."
"Mu Chi, I can do it." Jun Yuansheng looked at Mu Chi with gentle, firm eyes, stubborn and confident.
When their eyes met, Mu Chi was moved by the emotions in Jun Yuansheng's eyes, and his heartbeat unconsciously quickened.
He seemed to see another self who refused to admit defeat.
We must seek justice for ourselves for the injustice we have suffered.
"Okay, be careful about everything." Mu Chi restrained his emotions and said softly.
"Yeah." Su Yueqing and Jun Yuansheng nodded in unison.
Several people discussed the specific details in the room and decided on secret codes so that they could cooperate well.
It was not until lunch time that several people came out of the house.
When she came out, Su Yueqing was holding rice paper with things drawn on it. These were the results of their discussion.
The sun was high in the sky, and the offensive outside the gate of Dingzhou City came to a temporary halt.
The Dongli army outside the city attacked, and the soldiers inside the city defended to the death. The two sides were in a stalemate and tacitly agreed to a truce.
Lu Jingchuan looked at the messy city gate and the huge Dongli army outside the city gate.
If the current offensive continues, it won't be long before the city runs out of bows and food, and the consequences will be disastrous.
He now felt more and more that Su Yueqing's bold strategy to defeat the enemy was even clever.
Turn passivity into initiative, turn offense into defense, and hold the initiative in your own hands.
Watching the Dongli army retreating under the city, Lu Jingchuan relaxed for a moment, went down the city gate, and went to Su Yueqing to discuss strategy.
After Su Yueqing had a quick lunch, she was about to go find Lu Jingchuan to talk about the plan and tell him what he needed to cooperate with.
Just when he was halfway there, he ran into Lu Jingchuan.
"Lord Lu, is the Dongli attack fierce today?" Su Yueqing asked, "Can the soldiers in the city still hold out?"
"The Dongli army attacked the city fiercely, but the soldiers of Dingzhou City were no pushovers. They were able to resist and did not let the Dongli army gain any advantage."
"City Lord Lu is mighty." Su Yueqing praised sincerely.
“However, when the Dongli army launches another attack tomorrow, City Lord Lu only needs to use 50% of his strength and does not need to fight with all his strength.” Su Yueqing continued.
Lu Jingchuan was puzzled. "What do you mean by that, General Su? If we don't fight back with all our strength and the gates of Dingzhou City are opened, then wouldn't all the soldiers and civilians in Dingzhou City be exposed to the Dongli army? That would be the same as sending ourselves to our deaths."
Su Yueqing shook her head and explained, "Of course, we are not letting all of the Dongli army enter the city, but only a part of them."
"The Dongli army is coming with great force and has a large number of men. We can only attack in batches and defeat them one by one."
Lu Jingchuan frowned and thought for a moment, "Does General Su have a specific plan for his plan this morning?"
Su Yueqing nodded, then took Lu Jingchuan to the meeting place, took out the densely written rice paper, and spread it flat in front of Lu Jingchuan.
"City Lord Lu, please look, we only need to divide our troops into three groups to make the Dongli army defenseless..."
Su Yueqing repeated the strategy verbatim.
Lu Jingchuan looked at the things on the rice paper carefully and nodded frequently. Dividing the troops into three groups was indeed a very good method.
"General Su, did you come up with this plan alone?" Lu Jingchuan asked with admiration in his tone.
Such a sophisticated deployment was actually made by a woman.
Su Yueqing nodded, not thinking anything of it.
Such schemes are not uncommon.
She was just a little bolder and dared to take risks and act like this despite the disparity in military strength.
Lu Jingchuan gave Su Yueqing a look of praise, and then asked, "General Su, what do you need me to do? Just tell me!"
He didn't have a better plan to defeat the enemy, but since Su Yueqing had one, he was willing to follow her lead.
After all, although he was prejudiced against women, he had great respect for the wise and brave generals on the battlefield.
Now, the image of General Su Yueqing has been deeply rooted in his heart.
Su Yueqing was waiting for this sentence, and said, "Two things."
"The first thing is to take Mu Chi to familiarize himself with the environment in the city and send people to cooperate with him to deploy hidden weapons and mechanisms in the city so that we can defeat the Dongli army entering the city in one fell swoop with the least manpower." Su Yueqing said, pointing at Mu Chi beside her.
"The second thing is to defend the city as usual, just like today, but you only need five percent of your energy. After senior brother leads the troops into the city, cooperate well and intentionally let Dongli's army enter the city. Then, cooperate with Mu Chi's deployment in the city to annihilate the enemy together." Su Yueqing changed direction and pointed at Jiang Biechen on the other side and said.
Lu Jingchuan looked up at Su Yueqing, listened carefully, and agreed very much.
In just a short while, he nodded many times.
Su Yueqing suddenly felt that this little old man was quite interesting.
At the beginning, he had a sullen face and acted as if he didn't want to talk to me. I just came up with a little trick, but the other party accepted it like this.
Su Yueqing clearly felt that the old man's original disdain had gradually turned into admiration.
"General Su is both brave and resourceful. I admire him." Lu Jingchuan said sincerely.
Su Yueqing's plan is indeed feasible.
"Okay, since City Lord Lu has no objection, let's take action quickly while we have the afternoon, and the war will officially begin tomorrow!" Su Yueqing said. She really wanted to end the war quickly and find her prince as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, the Dongli people were probably discussing tactics and did not launch an offensive.
The two sides lived in peace and harmony for a long time, and were quietly planning for tomorrow's battle.
As the sky gradually darkened, Su Yueqing and his team had already deployed their troops and were just waiting for the sun to rise tomorrow to begin the battle.
As for the Dongli army outside the city, they were also full of morale and were fully prepared to continue attacking the city tomorrow.
A war is about to break out.
This battle was also the first battle that established Su Yueqing's reputation at the border!
